"Gods? Cowards who cower behind others, how dare you call yourselves gods? If you have the guts, come over and fight me one-on-one!"
Watching the Destroyer charge towards him, Li Chuan beckoned to Loki, who was hiding behind it, his tone full of provocation.
He wanted to enrage Loki into taking action, so he could deal with the Destroyer by dealing with Loki.
However, Loki was clearly not easily fooled. Unlike Thor, he never personally engaged in fights if he could avoid it, and he never confronted opponents head-on. Conspiracies and sneak attacks were his favorite methods.
"A mere mortal is not worthy of my personal attention."
Loki sneered, standing still without moving.
Facing Li Chuan, a human who clearly possessed magic and was not simple, he would not fall for the trick and risk acting personally.
Seeing that Loki wouldn't take the bait and the Destroyer was about to reach him, Li Chuan immediately roared:
"Second Form, open! Eight Gates, Gate of Opening, open! Gate of Healing, open! Gate of Life, open! Gate of Pain, open!"
His body rapidly swelled to over two meters tall, and blue Chakra energy flowed around his body.
His powerful physical constitution and his understanding of the human body's meridians and acupoints made learning the Eight Gates exceptionally easy for him. He could now open up to the Fourth Gate.
"Xingyi - Cannon Fist!"
With a flash, Li Chuan's body seemed to transform into a cannonball, rushing towards the Destroyer at an extremely high speed and striking a punch between its legs.
A powerful force erupted, directly sending the nine-meter-tall Destroyer flying back seven or eight meters, landing again in front of Loki.
"Such powerful strength!"
Loki, controlling the Destroyer from afar, instantly narrowed his pupils. To be able to send the Destroyer flying with a single punch in a head-on confrontation, this mere mortal possessed such terrifying power.
Fortunately, the Destroyer was not human and felt no pain. Moreover, its uru metal body was hard enough. Although it was sent flying back, it did not suffer any damage whatsoever.
It stood up again, its head mask opening, and a powerful flame shot directly towards Li Chuan.
"You think you're the only one who can do that?"
Li Chuan quickly formed hand seals:
"Water Release: Water Wall"
A thick pillar of Water erupted from his mouth like a cannon, colliding with the flames spewing from the Destroyer's mouth.
The flames spewing from the Destroyer's mouth were clearly not ordinary flames, and due to the abundant energy within its body, the intensity of the flames continuously increased, quickly creating a large amount of steam.
"The Destroyer is an indestructible ultimate weapon. Its flames can destroy everything. You might as well give up resisting!"
Although the large amount of steam blurred the figures of the Destroyer and Li Chuan, Loki could still vaguely see the red flames crushing forward with overwhelming superiority. He estimated that it wouldn't be long before the powerful mortal was eliminated.
Meanwhile, because Thor did not have Mjolnir and had not recovered his divine power, the Three Warriors and Lady Sif he led were also being completely overwhelmed by Laufey and the Frost Giants.
Don't think that Laufey's strength was weak just because he was easily ambushed and killed by his own son, Loki, in the original plot.
In his prime, Laufey had blinded one of Odin's eyes in their battle and had even frozen the entirety of Jotunheim, possessing incredibly powerful strength.
The reason he was so easily defeated by Loki was, firstly, he had lost the ancient winter coffin, his source of power, which greatly reduced his strength, just as Surtur, the Fire Giant, lost the Eternal Flame and was easily defeated by Thor.
Secondly, at that time, his attention was entirely on Odin, and he did not expect Loki to launch a sneak attack, taking the full force of the Eternal Spear without any defense.
One must know that the Eternal Spear was Odin's weapon, imbued with Odin's divine power. The attack Loki launched was not his own, but the attack of the Eternal Spear.
Now, with Laufey fighting at full strength, his power, speed, and the occasional instant-cast Frost power made his overall ability still very strong.
Fortunately, Heimdall, who had been feigning unconsciousness in the Bifrost Bridge chamber, also noticed the situation outside and came to help with his greatsword, barely managing to hold back the Frost Giants' assault led by Laufey.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the Water pillar completely disappeared, and the Destroyer's flames instantly pierced through the figure in the steam, striking the Bifrost Bridge.
"This is divine retribution, the consequence of opposing me, the King of Asgard."
Loki laughed heartily at the sight.
"Expelliarmus!"
Just then, a voice suddenly sounded behind him, followed by a jolt of his body. The Eternal Spear in his hand flew out uncontrollably, landing on the ground.
It turned out that as soon as the steam rose, Li Chuan had used Shadow Clone to replace his true body, and then his true body used the Illusion Charm to become invisible and sneak up to Loki's side.
His plan was to deal with Loki, the controller, so how could he directly confront the indestructible and troublesome Destroyer?
If he hadn't been wary of Odin possibly watching the situation, he might not have used the Expelliarmus just now, but the Curse of Slaying to directly finish off the opponent.
Anyway, Loki was a menace who always liked to stir up trouble for no reason.
Actually, he also considered using the Stupefy Curse or a Full Body-Bind Curse, but Loki was also a magic user, proficient in illusions, and his mental strength was definitely not low, so the Stupefy Curse might not have been effective.
And as a descendant of the Frost Giants, even if he was a deformed child, his physical strength was several times stronger than a human's, so the Full Body-Bind Curse probably wouldn't hold him.
So he opted for the Expelliarmus, first disarming Loki of the incredibly powerful Eternal Spear in his hand.
Loki had used the Eternal Spear to open the vault and release the Destroyer. Perhaps disarming him of the Eternal Spear would also strip him of his control over the Destroyer.
"How is this possible!"
Loki's pupils contracted when he saw Li Chuan appear behind him, then he conjured two daggers and charged forward.
Li Chuan frowned as Loki charged. He wasn't afraid of Loki in close combat; he simply realized that even after disarming Loki of the Eternal Spear, the Destroyer still hadn't stopped moving.
Instead, it turned its body, changing its front to its back, and charged towards him again.
"It seems Loki has already set up an attack program, and it needs to be actively disarmed to stop its actions."
After a brief thought, Li Chuan ignored the two daggers Loki was aiming at his kidney and waved his wand, chanting:
"Accio!"
Immediately, the Eternal Spear, which had been blasted far away, instantly flew up and landed in his hand.
As for Loki's two daggers, they passed right through Li Chuan's body, causing not the slightest bit of harm.
"Damn it!"
Loki's figure appeared less than a meter from the Eternal Spear, and he furiously punched the Bifrost Bridge.
Just as the Eternal Spear was blasted away, he had immediately used an illusion to create a fake body to feign an attack on Li Chuan, attracting Li Chuan's attention, while his true body went invisible to retrieve the Eternal Spear.
He hadn't expected Li Chuan to see through his illusion.
