That's really impressive."
Hawkeye felt his steps were as swift as the wind, completely impervious to any attack.
"You can't go any further." Saiki Kusuo's voice suddenly appeared in Hawkeye's mind.
"It's fine, this is enough."
Hawkeye raised his wrist, drew, aimed, and fired four shots in one smooth motion.
Four nearly simultaneous roars erupted, and all the armed helicopters in the sky turned into fireballs. The power of the high-explosive arrows was no joke.
In an instant, everyone's pressure significantly decreased.
"Now, Violet!"
Shen He gave the order decisively. Violet, clutching the firearm in her hands, charged out, her agile and swift figure like an elegant leopard.
It was mostly handled. Qi Mu, with less defensive pressure, could also help. After all, ordinary Army in the Marvel Universe have always been cannon fodder.
"You're not going to make a move?"
Ryougi Shiki appeared beside Shen He at some point.
"In this situation, it's more likely that the two of us would just get in the way." Shen He shook his head helplessly.
The battlefield was Violet's domain, and Shen He without Shinkirou, and Ryougi Shiki, who was better at close combat, couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't be hit by stray bullets, and would even require Saiki Kusuo to divert his attention to protect them.
"Is there anything I can do?"
"...You seem a bit impatient?" Shen He turned his head to look at Ryougi Shiki.
Since last time, the conversations between Shen He and Ryougi Shiki had become more direct, like now.
"You said there was a place where my power would be useful." Ryougi Shiki sounded a bit displeased, "But so far, you've only made me run around."
"Your power should be used on things we can't destroy." Shen He turned his head back to watch Violet's battle, "And you still can't control your ability very well, so don't be too reckless, Shiki-nee."
"You're the one who's reckless, really, sending such a young girl to the battlefield."
Ryougi Shiki followed his gaze, looking at the girl wantonly slaughtering in the distance. She really didn't like this kind of scene.
Shen He couldn't answer that. Although he didn't use Violet as a weapon, he also didn't treat her as an ordinary girl to be protected.
Just then, a beam of light descended from the sky and landed on the ground not far away.
That was the light of the Bifrost Bridge.
Has it finally arrived?
"Shiki-nee, prepare for battle." Shen He walked out from behind cover.
This strange and magnificent sight broke the enemy's last psychological defense. They were already in disarray, and Violet was also called to a halt by Shen He.
Perhaps the training had finally paid off, as this time Violet was careful not to get blood on herself and remained unharmed.
Thor, who was not far away, had already rushed over when the beam of light appeared.
"My friends! Hahaha!"
Thor discarded his firearm and bulletproof vest, walking over to embrace the four people who emerged from the beam of light.
"Oh, Thor, you've never looked as shabby as you do now." The large bearded man, built like a barrel, clapped Thor on the shoulder forcefully, "But it's all over, we're here to take you back."
"No." Thor's smile held a hint of bitterness, then he shook his head, "My friends, though I'm glad to see you, I cannot return. My father… died because of me. Until I meet his demands, I must remain in exile."
"Your father isn't dead." Shen He walked over from a distance.
"...What did you say?" Thor's smile gradually faded.
"I never told you because I thought it would help you." Shen He looked at the four people in front of him, "If you don't believe me, you can ask them."
Although they looked slightly different from the actors in the movie, their appearances were largely consistent: Sif and the Warriors Three, companions who had been with Thor since childhood.
"It's true." Sif looked at Thor, "Your father has only fallen into a slumber; he is still alive. Loki has seized the throne and wants to prevent you from returning. We don't know what he is planning."
"So, it was all Loki's conspiracy? He deceived me?" Thor seemed incredulous, "Why would he do this?"
"You should understand now."
Shen He said calmly. He had told Thor many stories of Chinese emperors these past few days.
In fact, even Thor's elder sister, Hela, the Goddess of Death, later wanted that position.
However, Loki actually wanted Odin's approval more.
"I'm going back." Thor clenched his fists, "If he wants to be king, I can compete with him, but I want to ask him why he hates me so much."
"I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
Shen He looked at the sky, where a new vortex was slowly forming.
It's finally here, Odin's armor, the Destroyer.
This is a good battlefield.
"Violet, this is an order, retreat to a safe place."
Shen He gently patted the little girl's head. Violet hesitated for a moment but chose to obey.
And Saiki Kusuo instantly appeared beside Shen He. Even before coming here, Shen He had introduced them to this potentially arriving enemy.
"Thor, its target is you, you should also step back." Shen He said.
He didn't intend for Thor to be directly killed and then regain his divine power, as in the original story.
This method of recovering strength was too low-end. It was rare to be sealed once; how could he not upgrade?
"Alright! I won't drag you down anymore."
Thor nodded, and his friends looked at him in shock. If it were the old Thor, saying such words would have been impossible.
As the light of the Bifrost Bridge faded, what appeared before everyone was an iron construct nearly three meters tall, radiating red light. Slightly different from its appearance in the movie, its surface clearly showed mysterious runes glowing and slowly flowing. Simply standing there, a powerful aura naturally emanated from it.
"Hey, friend, we're about to fight together. I don't even know your names yet." The bearded man, holding an axe, came to Shen He's side.
"I'll tell you after the battle is over, Shiki-nee, can you use a sword?" A long sword appeared in Shen He's hand.
Name: Murasame (Replica).
Origin: Akame ga Kill!.
Evaluation: Although it's a replica, it still possesses the ability to kill with one strike.
This was something Shen He got from a low-level lottery draw once, considered one of the better cold weapons in his possession. The only dagger he had was given to Violet earlier.
As for himself, he pulled out an exaggeratedly shaped spear, a magical weapon from "Chaika - The Coffin Princess." Although its use required magic power, Shen He had enough magic power.
Next, they would see what kind of strength this Marvel must-kill boss possessed.
"Qi Mu, try to see if you can restrict its movements."
Shen He didn't pay attention to the Asgardian quartet on the other side; all his attention was focused on the Destroyer in front of him.
After re-watching The Garden of Sinners, Shiki-nee's thoughts are indeed hard to fathom.
