Chapter 248 Heimdall's Attempt to Stop Him
But just as Finney made his decision, preparing to fly into the air and unleash his true 'Explosion Magic,' he suddenly felt an extremely cold aura from both front and back.
The ground beneath his feet instantly froze into a thick layer of ice, the energy flames on his body dimmed, and even the nearby frost giants shivered, demonstrating the extreme cold.
Finney was startled. Without time to think, he used his Flight spell to take off. He didn't remain stationary not because he needed to maintain the 'City of Devouring Time,' but because he felt that standing there would attract more frost giants into the barrier.
However, the three had already witnessed Finney's flight before, so they were somewhat prepared for his ascent.
Fabuti, who hadn't participated in the freezing, immediately used the ice spell he had been preparing for a long time after Finney took off, and a massive ice wall instantly crashed down on Finney's head.
With the enhancements of his 'Breathing Technique' and 'Golden Grand Evolution Technique,' Phine's senses were incredibly sharp. He could detect Heimdall's gaze, let alone an ice wall at such close range.
Phine didn't panic, nor did he look up. He calmly considered his options, and in that brief instant, many possible responses flashed through his mind.
"Whoosh!"
Phine chose the safest and most secure method, reaching out to grasp the 'White Dragon's Food' at his chest and teleporting.
Since creating the 'White Dragon's Food,' Phine had rarely used it, except for when he used it to teleport to Asgard. He had almost never used it in battle.
This was partly because using the Space Stone was too taxing, and partly because of the container for the 'White Dragon's Food.'
While vibranium was a metal that would amaze even the dwarves, the one who created the 'White Dragon's Food' wasn't a dwarf. Therefore, although Phine could barely use the power of the gem, it would cause significant damage to the vibranium.
Unlike the Infinity Gauntlet forged by the dwarves, which allows for unrestricted use of the Space Stone's power without snapping the fingers,
Phineas had absorbed a significant amount of time during the battle. He could easily recover it using 'Zafkiel: Fourth Bullet'.
Seeing Phineas suddenly vanish in a flash of blue light, all the Frost Giants were stunned, searching frantically for him.
Fortunately, Phineas hadn't been teleported too far, only outside the palace.
In the air,
Phineas looked at the 'White Dragon's Bite' with its cracking edges, feeling a pang of heartache. He had spent considerable time preparing and being extremely careful when teleporting to Asgard to avoid damage.
But the emergency had prevented him from having another half-day of preparation, leading to this outcome.
Worried that damage to the White Dragon's Bite might cause the Space Stone's power to go out of control, Phineas disregarded the possibility of Odin and the Ancient One spying and immediately summoned 'Zafkiel', intending to revert it to its state before use.
"Zflücke: Fourth Bullet!"
A vintage pistol appeared in Finney's hand. He injected a bullet made of time points into the pistol and aimed it at the 'White Dragon's Bite' on his chest.
"Bang!"
A shot rang out.
The cracks on the 'White Dragon's Bite' healed at a visible speed, returning to its previous state in the blink of an eye.
Finney hadn't expected the three to ambush him from among the soldiers, but battles are only about victory and defeat. He had even threatened Thor with his hammer before, so he wasn't too angry or furious.
He was only slightly distressed about the time points he had just used, but fortunately, it had only just happened, so the time points consumed were minimal—a drop in the ocean compared to what he had absorbed from the Frost Giants.
Having nearly been caught off guard, Finney dared not be careless again. The three of them had almost caused him a loss with just a sneak attack, and who knew what other trump cards they might have that could lead to mutual destruction.
"Come out, Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
Although he was a little worried, he couldn't give up the remaining experience points, so Finney prepared to cast 'Explosion Magic' to verify his previous ideas while dealing with the remaining experience points.
The reason for summoning the Blue-Eyes White Dragon was out of concern that the opponent might have some unknown trump card, so summoning the Blue-Eyes White Dragon was safer.
The enormous Blue-Eyes White Dragon quickly attracted the attention of the Frost Giants.
Emerging from the palace, the three saw Finni chanting 'Explosion Magic' atop the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's back.
"What kind of creature is that?"
Belest's eyes flashed with fear upon seeing the Blue-Eyes White Dragon; its size was enough to be considered a behemoth even in Jotunheim.
"What is he doing?"
Fabuti, while also shocked by the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, was more concerned with what Finni was doing.
"I am the Explosion Mage,"
"One who pursues and explores the power of magic,"
"Ignorant, ignorant, and arrogant Frost Giants,"
"You will pay the true price for your actions!"
Hearing Finni's words, the three's faces darkened, but what darkened them even more was the massive crimson magic circle appearing in the sky.
"Stop him!"
"We absolutely can't let him use that magic!"
Hearing his mother and brother's urgent voices, Helblindy suddenly remembered the reason why Phine was called the 'White Butcher' in the intelligence reports. It was said that he single-handedly and effortlessly slaughtered tens of thousands of enemies, his white figure like a butcher from the abyss.
He had initially thought this information was just an exaggerated rumor, but looking at the vast magic circle, he felt a sudden chill.
What if the rumor was true!?
In fact, in terms of area damage, apart from those weapons with technology exceeding specifications, there weren't many in the entire universe that could compare to Phine.
For example, Thor, in terms of overall strength, wasn't much weaker than Phine, but in situations with numerous enemies, his area damage was far inferior.
Seeing the huge magic circle appearing in the air, there were actually people even more anxious than Fabuti and the others.
Just as Phine was chanting, preparing to unleash 'Explosion Magic,' a huge beam of seven-colored light suddenly descended from the sky above his head.
The Rainbow Bridge of Asgard!
It turned out that Heimdall had seen Phineas intending to use such a powerful explosion spell to teleport him back to Asgard, and interrupted the spell.
Phineas had been on guard the entire time while chanting, so Heimdall noticed it the moment the Rainbow Bridge descended.
Although somewhat surprised by Heimdall's actions, Phineas had no intention of being teleported back.
He quickly gave a command to the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and dodged the Rainbow Bridge that was trying to teleport him back.
Seeing Phineas dodge the teleportation, a hint of surprise flashed in Heimdall's eyes, but he couldn't make the Rainbow Bridge bend, so he could only helplessly close it for now.
