"You…"
Carol Danvers, who hadn't endured such indignity since gaining her superpowers, spoke with a slightly forceful tone:
"My Lord God-King, it seems necessary to remind you, I am not begging you, but informing you…"
However, before she could finish, a furious roar, like that of a lion, suddenly echoed from the sky, "Do not be disrespectful to my Father King!!"
Immediately after, mjolnir, wreathed in silver lightning, descended like a meteor, directly striking the unprepared Carol Danvers and sending her flying far away.
Then, mjolnir, defying the laws of physics in a way that would make Newton turn in his grave, made a 180-degree sharp turn in mid-air, returning to Thor's hand as he flew downwards.
"Oh, oh, just in time."
'Odin' saw this, and with a mischievous grin, pointed at Carol Danvers, who had already climbed out of the ruins in the distance, and taunted her without restraint:
"Do you know, there's a word on your Earth specifically used to describe women like you… that is, a disgusting jinx!!"
"You've ruined my good mood today."
Then he turned to Thor and calmly instructed, "Welcome back, my son, it seems the celebration feast will have to be postponed… Go teach this overestimating woman, who wants to cause trouble in Asgard, a lesson first!"
"Yes, Father King."
Thor nodded without hesitation, but when his gaze met his increasingly spirited old man, he felt, for some reason, that something was off.
However, he couldn't pinpoint what was wrong at the moment, so he could only dismiss the feeling as his own illusion and focus on how to teach the woman who dared to offend his old man a lesson.
In Thor's opinion, the 'glowing' woman opposite him was likely just a simple-minded person, or someone acting on a whim, boldly coming to Asgard to cause trouble, hoping to gain fame.
Although such individuals had been rare over the past thousand years, they weren't entirely unheard of, so Thor wasn't particularly concerned.
However, he was completely unaware that the other party had been sent by S.H.I.E.L.D. to demand the Tesseract…
At this moment, Carol Danvers, who had already climbed out of the ruins, was thoroughly enraged.
Damn it, you think I'm easy to talk to, so you can do whatever you want, right?
You want to compare who's stronger, right?
Alright, alright! It seems if I don't show some strength today, there's no way to get the Tesseract back normally.
In that case, let me see what the legendary Thor and Odin are truly capable of?!
"Odin, you've really angered me today."
As her words fell, Carol Danvers flew almost flush with the ground directly to Thor's front, then swiftly threw an uppercut that landed squarely on Thor's jaw.
Bang—!!!
Under the immense force, Thor's robust figure flew straight into the air, but Carol Danvers didn't rush to pursue. Instead, she stood with her hands on her hips, looking at 'Odin', whose expression was gradually turning to surprise, and said:
"First, I'll deal with your son, and then… Bang!!!"
Before she could utter the word 'you', she was struck by mjolnir, which came flying towards her, sending her flying.
Then Thor, having recalled his hammer, landed steadily. Far from being annoyed by the blow, his face became exceptionally excited.
Because for some time now, stuck on the front lines, he had no outlet for the pent-up anger in his heart, other than daily border patrols.
And now, he had finally found an opponent he could fight to his heart's content, without having to worry about being instantly defeated.
The surge of battle intent within him rose like successive waves!
"Take this, hammer!!"
Thor excitedly threw mjolnir in his hand towards Carol Danvers, who had already stood up again and was walking towards him step by step, but the latter, who was prepared, easily dodged it by sidestepping.
"That was a precise throw, just a bit unlucky… Bang!!"
Carol Danvers' taunting words were not yet finished when mjolnir, which had automatically returned from behind, struck her in the back again, causing her to stagger forward and almost fall to the ground.
Thor shook the hammer in his hand and said smugly, "This is called a boomerang hammer, I suppose you've never heard of it before, have you?"
Carol Danvers stood up straight, her face like frost. Although the series of attacks just now hadn't caused her any substantial harm, they were extremely insulting, and she felt her patience was running out. She raised a finger and pointed at Thor, who was still gloating, and said:
"Listen, buddy, I know who you are, so before I count to three, you'd better put that broken hammer down, otherwise…"
But how could Thor, who was just getting warmed up in battle, obediently comply? As Carol spoke, he had already begun to rapidly spin mjolnir in his hand, instantly stirring up a swirling gust of wind in front of him.
Not far away, 'Odin', who had returned to the beautiful woman's embrace, said gleefully, "Come on, the show is about to begin!!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
As mjolnir continued to spin, gusts of wind whistled towards Carol Danvers, but this level of wind, aside from briefly obscuring her vision, was completely unable to blow her away.
However, for Thor, obscuring her vision was enough.
"Hey, I just said, you'd better stop immediately…"
Carol Danvers shouted at the other side, shielding her eyes with her hand.
However, just as her voice rang out, Thor on the opposite side had already rushed close, using the cover of the wind and sand. The spinning mjolnir swung out, directly blasting Carol, who had no time to react, into the sky.
Whoosh—
Then Thor himself, using the pull of mjolnir, rapidly flew towards the sky.
Bang—
In mid-air, Carol Danvers, in her Binary form, retaliated fiercely, landing a heavy punch on Thor's face, sending him crashing to the ground.
Boom—!!!
The ground trembled, dust rose everywhere, and several web-like cracks rapidly spread across the ground.
Thor had actually smashed a deep crater into the ground.
This shows how much force Carol had used; if it were an ordinary person, their body would probably have been shattered long ago.
"Tch, aerial combat really isn't my strong suit."
Thor stood up nonchalantly, dusted himself off, then extended his palm to summon mjolnir, which had been knocked away, all while looking at Carol Danvers, who was slowly descending, radiating a dazzling light.
"Please wait a moment, my partner will be here soon… Then, we can begin a truly exhilarating battle!"
Whoosh—
mjolnir flew back into Thor's hand as if guided by a precise targeting system, and then their figures collided heavily.
Bang, bang, bang—
Boom, boom, boom—
Carol Danvers, going all out, held her own even bare-handed.
But what infuriated her was that neither energy blasts nor energy punches could inflict any truly effective damage on Thor.
Similarly, Thor's heavy hammer strikes and lightning releases failed to cause any substantial harm to Carol.
So the two continued to exchange blows, a punch from her, a hammer from him, without stopping.
Until…
Carol Danvers was accidentally knocked to the ground, and Thor seized the opportunity to rush over and press mjolnir onto her chest.
"Ugh, damn it, what in the world is going on?"
Struggling to get back up and fight, Carol Danvers suddenly found that no matter how much force she used, she couldn't break free from the hammer pressing down on her.
The hammer seemed to weigh as much as a Planet, remaining completely unmoving despite her every effort.
"Heh heh, I advise you not to waste your strength there."
Seeing this, Thor said, not without a hint of smugness, "mjolnir has a magic enchantment placed on it by my Father, and no one but me can lift it."
"But then again, why are you causing trouble in Asgard?… I don't think I've seen you in the Nine Realms before, are you an outsider?"
"Causing trouble?!"
Carol Danvers continued to struggle with disbelief, while irritatedly saying, "It's clearly your Father Odin who's being unreasonable, alright?"
"What do you mean?" Thor looked at her, puzzled, clearly not understanding.
"I came to Asgard this time to demand the Tesseract for S.H.I.E.L.D.…"
After several fruitless attempts, Carol Danvers simply stopped struggling, staring at Thor and huffing, "Just a few days ago, Ronan the Accuser's fleet invaded Earth again, and Nick Fury sent me a distress signal…"
"Ah, why is Earth being invaded again?"
Thor's eyes widened, clearly surprised at why Earth was so plagued by disasters, but then he quickly reacted, looking at Carol and exclaiming, "Wait, so… you're that dark-skinned… ahem, a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent?"
Carol Danvers first nodded, then shook her head. "To be precise, I'm not a S.H.I.E.L.D. employee, but I used to be an Earthling, and before leaving Earth, I promised Nick Fury that I would return to help if there was a major crisis."
"And this time, although the crisis of Ronan's fleet invading Earth was successfully resolved, Nick Fury is a bit anxious, fearing that the same crisis will happen again, so he hopes I can come to Asgard to retrieve the Tesseract…"
At this moment, Thor tilted his head, interrupting with a puzzled expression, "But the problem is, the Tesseract isn't in Asgard anymore?"
"Huh? What did you say?!"
Carol Danvers frowned deeply, looking at him suspiciously, and asked, "How is that possible? Odin just said the Tesseract is Asgard's most precious treasure, how could it…"
Before she could finish speaking, Thor spread his hands, saying innocently, "The Tesseract is indeed Asgard's most precious treasure, my Father wasn't wrong about that…"
"But previously, due to the appearance of the Eye of Fear, the Nine Realms were severely corrupted by Warp energy, and several great realms were on the verge of falling, even Asgard became precarious."
"And… and then?" Carol Danvers suddenly had a bad premonition. Seeing Thor on the other side speaking in gasps, she couldn't help but ask impatiently.
"Then?"
Thor looked at her with a strange expression, as if doubting her identity. "After trying various methods to no avail to effectively curb the Warp energy's corruption of the Nine Realms, at my Mother's suggestion, I went to Earth and found the Sorcerer Supreme, and she gave me a suggestion to solve the problem…"
"The Sorcerer Supreme?"
A look of confusion appeared on Carol Danvers's face.
Although she had previously encountered alien mages from Kamar-Taj, she apparently didn't know about the existence of the Sorcerer Supreme.
However, at the moment, she wasn't concerned with who this Sorcerer Supreme was, so she continued to press, "What suggestion did that… Sorcerer Supreme give you?"
Damn it, can't this muscular jerk just finish what he's saying in one go?
"How do you not even know about the Sorcerer Supreme?"
Thor gestured to his thick hair, grinning, "She's a powerful bald mage… ah, I mean, from her, I first learned about the Warp and the Four Chaotic Gods."
"However, she didn't seem willing to help resolve the threat caused by the Eye of Fear to the Nine Realms, but instead directly recommended me to go to Sokovia to find a solution!"
Σ(⊙▽⊙"a???
"Wait a minute."
Carol Danvers seemed to have guessed something, her eyes suddenly widening as she exclaimed, "You wouldn't have given the Tesseract to… Mr. Karl, would you?!!!"
"Bingo! You finally guessed right this time." Thor said carelessly, "It seems you must know Mr. Karl Merks, right?"
"That's right, according to the Sorcerer Supreme, throughout the entire Universe, perhaps only Mr. Karl Merks has a way to curb the Warp energy's corruption and invasion of the Nine Realms."
"So, I ultimately took the Tesseract and the Rainbow… ahem, never mind, that last part isn't important. In short, I exchanged them for these black stone creations from Mr. Karl Merks!!"
