Chapter 49 - Chapter 49: Only Purpose Behind All Of This.

The Mountains of Jotunheim

On the mountain ridge, Thor's face had gone pale.

The hand gripping Mjolnir was trembling uncontrollably. He kept drawing deep breaths, trying desperately to steady his racing nerves.

Last time—

He had come here alongside his companions.

With his clever, dependable younger brother acting as their strategist.

And yet, even then, they had been utterly defeated—so badly that Odin himself had been forced to descend and rescue them.

This time…

It was far worse.

One Earthling.

One machine.

No matter how he looked at it, there was absolutely no chance of victory.

"Thor, your task is to find your brother."

"As for these eyesore Frost Giants… Android 16—handle them."

Beneath the dark gray helmet, Renjie's lips curved into a cruel smile.

He had been waiting a long time—

Waiting to finally display his true power.

Upon receiving Renjie's order, Android 16 stepped forward calmly.

He disliked this place.

A lifeless, gloomy world devoid of warmth or vitality.

The Frost Giants were savage and brutal—slaughterers of the weak, the very culprits behind the collapse of countless worlds.

They deserved only one fate.

Eradication.

Android 16's expression twisted into something fierce as his massive hands clenched into fists.

A blue-white aura erupted from his body, spreading outward in an instant—engulfing the entirety of Jotunheim!

The mountains beneath Thor's feet began to collapse.

Countless shards of frozen rock were lifted into the air, suspended by the sheer pressure of that overwhelming presence.

That suffocating, terrifying aura—

It was even more dreadful than Odin's.

Skyfather-level.

This gentle-looking giant of metal was, in truth, a Skyfather-tier existence.

Android 16 transformed into a blinding streak of light, accelerating rapidly—his speed approaching the speed of light itself.

Wherever he passed, mountains disintegrated.

Anything that stood in his way was instantly reduced to rubble.

Thor stared, mouth agape.

Even Android 18 alone had been enough to shock him beyond belief.

And now—there was another.

Was this… the true strength of the Great Sage?

No.

Not even close.

Renjie activated the Anti-Gravity Device, his body rising smoothly into the darkened sky.

This cold, oppressive world filled him with irritation.

He would destroy it.

And upon its ruins, he would forge a new world—

An Ice Kingdom that matched his ideals.

At that moment, the heavy rear armor of the Creator Armor unfolded completely.

Rows upon rows of micro-missile launch bays were revealed.

One capsule after another was launched outward—

Universal Capsules, expanding midair into over a hundred massive, nightmarish war machines.

Battleframe: Vekz.

Each mechanical behemoth stretched over forty meters in length.

Their construction incorporated the hardest known material—

Adamantium Alloy—

Capable of withstanding even a direct strike from Mjolnir.

They moved with astonishing speed, spreading outward in a fan-shaped formation across Jotunheim.

Their enormous mechanical eyes glowed crimson as energy gathered within

So red it looked as though blood might drip from them.

Suddenly

Hundreds of blood-red energy cannons, dozens of meters wide and thousands of meters long, erupted from those eyes.

The glaciers below were instantly melted into a raging sea of hellfire.

Sleeping Frost Giants were incinerated where they lay, reduced to charred corpses.

More giants awakened

Only to stare up in despair at the mechanical monstrosities above, their anguished screams echoing across the frozen wasteland.

Divine punishment had descended.

The massive crimson beams swept across the land.

In an instant, the wailing Frost Giants were annihilated—turned to dust alongside the glaciers beneath their feet.

The blazing inferno illuminated the eternally dark world of ice.

In mere seconds

The thousand-mile frozen plains before Thor had transformed into a boiling sea of fire.

Thor stood frozen atop the mountain peak, staring at the devastation below, his mouth hanging open in shock.

Slowly, numbly, the God of Thunder lifted his head.

His gaze fixed upon the figure hovering above the inferno

The Great Sage, wielding the Staff of Creation.

His heartbeat thundered in his ears.

Even the arm holding Mjolnir shook violently.

Thor had fought countless wars

But never, not once, had he feared someone the way he did now.

"Why are you doing this?!"

"Do you intend to destroy Jotunheim entirely?!"

Thor shouted in rage and disbelief.

This was not war.

This was slaughter—one-sided and absolute.

Hearing Thor's accusation, Renjie looked down at him coldly and spoke without emotion.

"Thor—chaotic times demand severe measures."

"I will crush this barbaric civilization."

"And upon its ruins, establish a new order."

"Everything I do is for the peace of the Nine Realms."

"This is my responsibility—as the Great Sage."

Renjie gazed down at the sea of fire, his heart utterly unmoved.

His mind was perfectly clear.

This was not an act of impulse.

By comparing the rewards obtained from the previous two incidents, Renjie had already discerned the system's underlying pattern.

Which meant

There was only one purpose behind all of this.

If he destroyed Jotunheim

Destroyed an entire world—

What kind of reward would the [Dimensional Great Villain System] grant him then?
