"What about that evil sorcerer? Did he get away?"
Thor looked at Kaecilius, who had disappeared into the portal, feeling a bit annoyed.
These sorcerers who can teleport, just run when they can't win. It's disgusting!
Oh, I can do that too? Never mind then.
Touching the Sling Ring, Thor retracted his previous words.
"Anyway, the battle is finally over. Let's go help rescue the injured citizens first."
Gwen shook her head helplessly, looking at the heavily damaged Manhattan district.
Thankfully, the affected area this time wasn't as large as last time, or she would have to miss school again.
Not long after the group disengaged from combat and separated, Heimdall's voice suddenly rang out.
"Thor, Cul has invaded Asgard! Come back quickly to assist!"
Immediately after, a rainbow light descended from the sky, teleporting Thor back to Asgard.
"Cul has invaded Asgard. Should we go help?"
Gwen arrived at the landing spot of the rainbow light, looking at the others who had gathered.
"Of course. Thor and Loki just helped us, now it's our turn to help them."
The speaker was Tony.
After seeing the commotion of the Bifrost Bridge, he and Loki also rushed over.
The group immediately reached a consensus to support Asgard.
However...
"How do we get to Asgard? Loki, do you have a way?"
Loki nodded, his face gloomy.
Asgard was attacked, but Heimdall only teleported Thor back to assist, ignoring him.
This action stung Loki.
"I have a way to open a portal to Asgard."
Sparks flickered and rotated continuously.
Loki concentrated, sensing Asgard's location, then used his secret passage to bypass Asgard's spatial defenses.
A moment later, the portal opened.
"Come on, follow me."
Since Odin conquered the Nine Realms, Asgard had enjoyed a long period of peace. But today, that peace was shattered.
Beyond the continent of Asgard, above the blue ocean, a burly and robust old man was treading on the water, slowly walking towards the Royal Palace of Valaskjalf in the center of the ocean.
With each step, the old man's face grew younger, and the energy fluctuations within his body grew stronger.
The old man on the water was undoubtedly Cul.
The God of Fear in Cul's title referred to the God of Fear of Asgard. Therefore, as long as he set foot on Asgard, he could draw power from Asgard.
Even if this was an Asgard from another Universe.
On the shore, Asgard's army was ready for battle.
However, as Cul took step after step, sea monsters emerged one by one from the ocean, gathering behind Cul.
And further away, a towering tsunami was brewing.
War was imminent.
At that time, rivers of blood would flow.
Rumble!!!
Suddenly, a massive lightning dragon descended from the sky, striking at Cul.
At the head of the lightning dragon was Thor, clad in Destroyer and wielding mjolnir.
Facing Thor's surprise attack, Cul remained unhurried, raising his hammer to parry.
The moment the two hammers, one large and one small, collided, terrifying lightning first dispersed, striking Cul and the sea monsters behind him.
Immediately after, space was crushed and shattered by the two forces, unleashing an even more terrifying power that transformed into an shockwave, raging outwards from the two as its center.
Bang!
Thor flew backward to absorb the force.
Cul stood still, transferring the force of the shockwave to the ocean beneath his feet, causing surges of undercurrents.
Their methods of absorbing force differed, but neither was seriously harmed.
However, the sea monsters beside Cul suffered.
First, they endured electric shocks, then the shockwave from the clash of forces, and finally the ocean's undercurrents. In just an instant, there were considerable casualties.
"Is this your purpose, boy? As you wish!"
Cul saw through Thor's intention but didn't care.
Thor wanted to use the aftermath of their battle to reduce the number of sea monsters, easing the pressure on Asgard's army on the shore.
But there was an unavoidable problem: he would have to fight Cul in the ocean.
And the ocean was Cul's home ground.
Thor intended to carry a heavy burden himself to lighten the load on the Asgardian warriors.
Taking advantage of Thor flying backward and being unstable, Cul quickly charged forward, leaping up and smashing his hammer down.
He wanted to knock Thor into the water and expand his advantage.
Bang!
Thor, who hastily raised mjolnir to parry, was sent flying by Cul's hammer, crashing into the water.
Cul followed closely, diving into the water as well.
"Thor!"
From the palace, Odin and Frigga, watching this scene from afar, couldn't help but worry for Thor.
Suddenly, lightning flashed.
Thor, who had fallen into the sea, fully activated mjolnir, releasing the power of thunder, attempting to force back Cul with its might and then escape the predicament of falling into the sea.
"Ahahaha!"
However, Cul chose to endure Thor's lightning attack, not missing the opportune moment.
With another hammer swing, he struck Thor fiercely.
The home ground advantage became apparent at this moment. Cul's power exertion underwater was unaffected, but Thor's power exertion was influenced by many factors.
With one hammer, Thor was smashed deeper into the ocean.
Seeing this, Cul pursued his advantage.
But just then, an energy beam pierced through the ocean, striking towards his back.
The newcomer was Loki, who had returned in time with reinforcements.
Cul, caught off guard, was wounded and lost the opportunity to pursue Thor, only able to watch as Thor escaped from the seabed in another direction.
"Gungnir? How is it in your hands?!"
Loki did not answer Cul's question. He raised his long spear and fired another energy beam.
This time, however, the prepared Cul easily blocked it.
"Thor, come back! Return to land! In the ocean, it's very difficult for us to support you!"
Although the attack didn't work, the slight delay allowed Thor to retreat.
After these few rounds of exchanges, Thor also understood that in the ocean, he was no match for Cul in a one-on-one fight.
Cul raised his hand, attempting to summon Gungnir, but received no response.
"The Gungnir is mine! I am the rightful King of Asgard, the true All-Father! Your father Odin merely usurped power, took everything that belonged to me, and covered up the true history!"
Seeing this, Cul became enraged, and the ocean trembled in response.
A towering tsunami surged towards Asgard.
Loki, Tony, Wanda, Gwen, and Pietro, all five of them, stepped forward in unison, their magic surging into the seawater.
The next moment, the surging momentum of the towering tsunami stopped instantly.
The wave crest gradually lowered, and eventually, the sea surface calmed.
In the distant palace, Odin watched Thor, Loki, and the others fighting side by side and was greatly comforted.
Brothers harmonious, united in heart.
Allies reliable, providing timely support.
Asgard is blessed.
