The strongest attack… was actually blocked?
Loki sprang up from his throne in fury, slamming the Eternal Spear in his hand hard against the ground.
"Increase the output—now!"
He barked the order to the Destroyer Armor.
He refused to believe it.
How could a mere Earth-made mech possibly rival one of Odin's divine creations?
The Destroyer Armor immediately boosted its power output.
The energy beam firing from its face intensified dramatically!
The enemy's energy barrier grew brighter and brighter
So vivid it was nearly solid!
Just give him the time of a single song
And he could shatter that obnoxious energy shield!
But
Would Renjie ever give him that chance?
Renjie controlled the Doomsday Mech, stepping forward.
Step by step
Advancing straight into the Destroyer's energy barrage!
The distance between them rapidly closed.
Renjie raised the massive mechanical arm of the mech, forcibly enduring the beam—
And seized the Destroyer Armor by the head!
That ugly steel skull was crushed instantly into a twisted, irregular shape!
The head suffered catastrophic damage!
The Destroyer Armor collapsed to its knees, powerless.
It required time to repair itself—and during that interval, the entire unit entered complete dormancy.
But
Renjie had no intention of showing mercy.
He tightened his grip on the deformed head and forcibly hauled the Destroyer Armor off the ground!
Then he pulled it into his chest—
Those thick, brutal mechanical arms contracted with explosive force!
A shrill, metal-crushing screech tore through the sky!
Watching the Destroyer Armor being compressed, Thor couldn't help but narrow his eyes in pain.
That armor had once followed Odin across countless battlefields, earning immeasurable glory.
Yet now
It had met such a miserable end.
The four-meter-tall Destroyer Armor, under Thor's gaze, was reduced like a blanket—
Crushed by the six-meter-tall Doomsday Mech
Compressed into a one-meter-wide iron can.
All functions ceased.
Reduced to nothing more than a pile of scrapped metal.
At this very moment
Far away in Asgard.
Loki.
The usurper.
The trickster god who sought to ruin his own brother.
Staggered backward in terror and collapsed onto his throne.
It was obvious.
His plan had failed.
That Doomsday Mech—
Was even stronger than the Destroyer Armor under his control.
Once the matter of Jotunheim was resolved—
The next target would be him.
Just imagining the Destroyer's fate made Loki shudder uncontrollably.
He had to stop this.
He had to stop them from reaching Asgard!
He would destroy the Bifrost!
Trap them in Jotunheim—
And buy himself enough time to escape!
With that decision made, Loki gripped the Eternal Spear and hurried toward the Bifrost.
In truth
He had a more decisive option.
Using his current authority, he could annihilate Jotunheim with the Bifrost itself—
Erasing everyone there.
Including Thor.
But
Loki couldn't bring himself to do it.
Setting aside his jealousy, if only for a moment—
Thor had always treated him well.
He had done everything an older brother should.
Even this tragedy
Was born from the hope that Loki might still turn back.
Loki's heart was not made of stone.
He could feel the warmth of family.
And that was precisely why—
He hated himself even more.
Why did the blood of Frost Giants flow through his veins?!
Why...
Was he not Odin's true son?!
With a sharp flick of his dark green cloak, Loki left the palace, his face clouded with despair.
But
When he arrived at the Bifrost—
And saw the blonde girl stretching her legs
His face turned deathly pale.
Ridiculous.
Since when did Asgard become a tourist attraction for Earthlings?
Anyone could just come and go?!
Android 18.
This woman—
Was called Android 18.
An artificial human even more advanced than Android 16.
Loki spun around instantly and fled along the path he had come from.
But
A slender, delicate hand pressed down on his shoulder!
His shoulder armor shattered instantly!
The pain made the trickster god howl in terror as he dropped to one knee.
"Yo—this one's real this time."
Android 18 bent down slightly, a teasing smile playing on her lips as she spoke.
As for why she was here—
In truth
Just after Renjie and the others left, she felt her heartbeat accelerate.
A vague but ominous premonition took hold.
Renjie might be in danger.
So
She imitated him.
Roaring into the night sky.
"She's going to Asgard!"
If they didn't let her through
If anything happened to her lover
She would erase Asgard from existence.
A Skyfather-level woman scorned by love—
Might very well become the next Hela.
As the Gatekeeper, Heimdall had no choice.
For the sake of Asgard's stability—
He took matters into his own hands and transported Android 18 here.
Fate was always like this.
Cruel.
And absurdly ironic.
Android 18
Who had been warming up, preparing to head to Jotunheim—
Ran straight into Loki—
Who had rushed here in desperation to destroy the Bifrost…
