"It's the God Clan!" Wonder Woman shouted first: "Adjust formation immediately and prepare to face the enemy!!!"
The superheroes dared not be careless, for they had witnessed the might of the God Clan. Wonder Woman's hands sparkled with divine power, The Flash transformed into a golden light, Martian Manhunter assumed a combat stance, the Green Lanterns contracted their formation, and Shazam raised one hand and shouted: "Shazam!!!"
Before they arrived, a thunderbolt as if formed from the initial explosion of the universe struck. In an instant, the light intensified, the entire cosmos suddenly lit up, as if placed at the core of a star, the brightness and heat were overwhelming. Beyond the thunder was a desolate echo, as if from the newborn power of the universe's origin.
Wonder Woman lowered her arm shielding her eyes. Her face fell, and she said in a very solemn tone: "The opponent has a True God."
"A True God?" Martian Manhunter asked.
"Yes, we also call them 'Primordial Gods', referring to those gods who control the most primal energies of the cosmos. These powers aren't related to the societies built by intelligent creatures but are natural forces existing regardless of life. For example, Zeus controls the power of thunder, Hades controls death and decay, Theia controls light. These gods may not be skilled in combat, but their power is more destructive than anyone else."
"Was that thunder just now the handiwork of a True God?"
"According to our evaluation criteria, yes."
"What power does he wield?"
"I can feel a Power of Creation," Wonder Woman shook her head in amazement, "it's incredible, he has combined thunder and fire into the origin power of the birth of life. This power is immensely strong, almost endless, even Zeus may not be his opponent."
Martian Manhunter's expression also became solemn. Such a powerful hero like Diana is only a demigod, and above gods, there are more gods, this is destined to be a tough battle.
Asgard did not keep them waiting for long. As they spoke, several small battleships had surrounded them. The first to jump off the ship was Main Universe Thor, who extended his hand holding Mjölnir, pointing at Wonder Woman and the others, saying: "In the name of the Father of All Gods, let the battle grant us supreme glory!"
"For justice!" Wonder Woman showed no weakness.
The two struck almost simultaneously. Wonder Woman swung her whip, the lasso skillfully wound around Thor's wrist, thunder shot out from Mjölnir like a bowstring, straight towards Wonder Woman's face. In an instant, everyone on both sides engaged at close quarters, the field gleaming with light and roaring with thunder.
Thor first sent a bolt of lightning towards Wonder Woman, then immediately grabbed the Lasso of Truth and yanked it back. But Wonder Woman was not about to be outdone; she opened her Divine Power Shield, ignoring the thunder above her head, pulling Thor back instead, then delivered a whip kick to his chest. Thor was kicked back a few steps by her, but he turned and swung the war hammer at her shoulder.
Wonder Woman crossed her arms to deflect his blow, retreating a few steps herself, then immediately bent to the right to dodge his swing, straightening up to deliver a knee strike. But the abdomen of the Aesir was not a weakness; even when Wonder Woman hit with full force, Thor didn't budge. She thought to herself that this was not good, and sure enough, the next second, the Power of Thunder erupted suddenly, the strong electric current driven by divine power directly knocked Wonder Woman flying.
"Can't stay too close to him," Martian Manhunter Ron's voice echoed in Wonder Woman's mind, "Maintain mid-range combat, leverage the weapon's advantage."
Wonder Woman turned her head and saw Martian Manhunter tangled with another Thor. He kept neither distance nor closeness, relying on Mind Interference and Heat Beam to continuously deal damage to Thor, depleting his divine power.
Wonder Woman secretly lamented; if she had this ability, she would certainly use this strategy as well. But on one hand, she didn't possess psychic ability, making it impossible to slow Thor's movements, and given Thor's speed, dodging the attacks of the Lasso of Truth was too easy.
On the other hand, although she could opt to use divine power to attack in a laser-like manner, such an approach was too wasteful and had no sustainability.
Moreover, she did not possess Martian Manhunter's Phantom Ability and had to rely on her own Divine Power Shield to withstand all attacks. But Thor's attacks were massive and powerful, combined with thunder, even if she could withstand them, it left her body numb, severely affecting her speed and responsiveness.
On the other side, the Thor facing Martian Manhunter was inwardly cursing: Wasn't this guy supposed to be a mind power user like Professor X? The intelligence people must be traitors, right? You only mentioned that he had psychic abilities, but did not mention that his other abilities were almost the same as Superman's, or even surpassed them!
Main Universe Thor, after temporarily repelling Wonder Woman, noticed his counterpart was at a disadvantage and immediately went to assist. He still opened with thunder, a bolt crashing down towards Martian Manhunter.
But just as the thunder fell, Martian Manhunter's figure flickered, turning into a semi-transparent state. And after the thunder ended, he returned to his normal form and quickly turned to look over.
The moment he made eye contact with Martian Manhunter, Main Universe Thor felt as if he had been struck. He just felt a "buzz" in his head, followed by dizziness, and everything he saw was doubled.
But it wasn't over yet, he gradually felt his body was out of control. Main Universe Thor gripped tightly onto Mjölnir, took a deep breath, and shouted: "Father of All Gods grant me strength!!!"
The divine light shone again, with the help of divine power, Thor was immune to part of the mind control. But this green-skinned alien had already rushed to him while he was in a daze, took a deep breath, and blew towards him.
What shocked Thor was, this was not an ordinary wind, but a molecular storm. Upon contact with this storm, the molecules in his body were being gradually eroded. He quickly dodged, cautiously watching Martian Manhunter.
Meanwhile, he was also annoyed in his heart. When he was given intelligence on his opponent's abilities earlier, he only focused on the Justice League's big three, barely glancing at the others. Unexpectedly, the Justice League had such a formidable general.
However, perhaps realizing their unfavorable position in the battle, soon all the Thors' communicators received a message. Loki resent Martian Manhunter's data to them. Main Universe Thor took the chance to look it over quickly as they retreated.
Martian Manhunter can manipulate his own and surrounding molecules at the cosmic limit, giving him super strength and super speed no less than Superman's. Additionally, he has an ability Superman does not: the ability to completely phase his body, becoming a "null existence" that cannot be affected by anyone from the real world, and this transformation requires no conditions.
Therefore, he can switch to a phased form when the opponent attacks, making their attack miss entirely; then transform to solid form when attacking himself for a deadly strike.
At the same time, he possesses a terrifying regeneration ability, able to instantly restore even if his head is severed, effectively making him a moving mass of molecules, like the symbionts in the Marvel Universe. Ordinary physical damage is ineffective against him, even thunder created by divine power, unless it can destroy all molecules at once, will allow him to regenerate.
While these abilities seem terrifying, it was only upon reading to the end that Main Universe Thor understood the significance of Loki sending them much of this information at such a time. He immediately raised his head and yelled at his counterpart, "He's afraid of fire! Martian Manhunter fears fire!!!"
Other Thors also saw this information and began to use their divine power to conjure flames, hoping to drive back Martian Manhunter.
Martian Manhunter indeed had a great fear of fire, even a small flame would force him to constantly retreat.
Main Universe The Flash saw the situation turning unfavorable, and immediately raced out of the divine speed, grabbed Martian Manhunter, and quickly sent him onto the Green Lantern Ship using divine speed.
"Flash!" shouted Hal, the leader of the Green Lantern Fleet.
Other Flashes immediately understood his meaning, and golden lights leapt through the field. Almost in no time, The Flash brought all Martian Manhunters onto the Green Lantern Ship. The Green Lanterns then used the Green Lantern's Power to protect Martian Manhunter from fire damage.
Although this made Martian Manhunter lose his ability for close combat, it allowed them to focus on mind interference instead. His psychic ability transformed into a sharp sword, constantly piercing at opponents in the field. Those attacked could suffer minor dizziness or completely lose control, attacking their own teammates.
Feeling a severe headache as he advanced again, Main Universe Thor finally could no longer bear it. He raised Mjölnir and shouted: "Professor X!!!"
"I'm here." Professor X's voice was still calm. He said, "Although I can help you eliminate the effects, you can actually do it yourself. First, try to protect your mind with divine power and repel his influence. Then slightly relax your defenses and use his attacks to temper your own psyche, gradually becoming immune to mind attacks. You can do it."
"No!" Main Universe Thor growled in pain, "I can't, I really can't. My divine power can only expand outward, I can't touch my mind! Tell me how to do it!"
"Follow me." As Professor X spoke, Main Universe Thor found himself in a vast white space. He was standing in a square with patterns resembling the training grounds of Asgard.
"This is your psychic battlefield. Don't worry, the speed of thought isn't the same as real-world speed, whatever we do here, time outside is almost at a standstill."
A voice appeared from nowhere and Main Universe Thor turned to look, seeing an incredibly youthful face.
"Oh, Odin be damned," Main Universe Thor couldn't help but curse, spreading his hands and saying to Charles, "You've become young again, and even stood up?"
"This is the psychic battlefield, Thor," Charles explained somewhat helplessly, "What I look like isn't important, I'm merely here to teach you how to use divine power to resist mental attacks."
"I know learning this is good for me, right? But does it have to be now? I'm in the middle of battle." Main Universe Thor said with a bit of anxiety.
"As I said, while you focus internally, external time is practically stopped. So you can practice here freely until you learn it without affecting any real-world battles."
Seeing the expression on Main Universe Thor's face, Charles added, "You feel your divine power doesn't control inwardly because you lack training in this area. Your brother Loki does it well because he's a skilled magician. If it were him here, he wouldn't be this desperate."
"Are you joking?" Main Universe Thor said, "If it were him, his thin limbs would instantly be smashed by Wonder Woman, he wouldn't even last to Martian Manhunter!"
Charles was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute. But he still said, "In any case, you must learn this or you'll always be at a disadvantage against psychic ability users. Do you want to be beaten up by Martian Manhunter and go home shamefully?"
Main Universe Thor took a deep breath, weighed his hammer in hand, then said: "Alright, how should I practice?"
"Concentrate as I taught you, and then guide your divine power into your psyche..."
