"How?"
Yun Chen's calm smile never wavered.
"You Asgardians don't look so good right now."
The situation truly was not good.
Foola had only recently evolved into a Superwoman, and although her combat ability was impressive, she was still adapting to her new strength. Yet Carol was a completely different matter.
Carol Danvers was terrifyingly powerful.
Among Earth's defenders, she already stood at a level comparable to gods. Against ordinary Norse gods and Asgard's Holy Guard soldiers, she was simply overwhelming.
"Where did you find that woman?" Odin asked coldly.
The King of Asgard's brow furrowed as he watched the battlefield.
Carol was unbelievably strong.
Was she truly a human from Earth?
Since when had such a terrifying woman appeared on this planet?
Golden light surged across Carol's body like a blazing sun. Her entire figure radiated brilliant energy as if she were a Valkyrie descending from legend.
Even her eyes glowed with golden brilliance.
This was her Binary State.
In this form, she could manipulate nearly any form of cosmic energy within her range. Her already extraordinary physical power was amplified to an even more frightening level.
"Obviously she's angry," Yun Chen said casually. "So I'd suggest praying."
Bang!
A Norse god charged forward but was immediately blasted backward by a single strike from Carol's slender arm.
Odin's eyelids twitched slightly.
If this battle continued any longer, the outcome was obvious. Even if he managed to survive his duel with Superman, his army would be completely wiped out here.
He wanted to move and assist his warriors.
But Yun Chen had already stepped forward.
"Don't forget I'm still here."
Yun Chen threw a punch.
Boom!
The sheer force of the strike shook the surrounding air like a collapsing world.
Odin barely managed to block the attack with his arms. Even then, he staggered backward several steps before stabilizing himself with great difficulty.
Before he could recover, Yun Chen inhaled deeply.
Then he exhaled.
A hurricane exploded from his mouth.
Super Breath.
The violent storm erupted instantly.
"Damn—"
Odin had planted his feet firmly in the earth, but the sudden hurricane tore through the ground beneath him. With a thunderous crack, the shattered earth and Odin himself were lifted violently into the air.
Whoosh!
Odin gripped the Spear of Eternity tightly and slashed downward with enormous force.
The spear tore through the raging winds and allowed him to escape the storm.
Hum!
But before he could even catch his breath, a blazing red beam of energy surged toward him.
Heat vision.
Bang!!
Caught completely unprepared, Odin had no time to react.
The beam struck him directly.
His golden armor shattered under the impact, fragments scattering through the air as blood splashed outward.
Odin's vision darkened slightly as the attack drained his strength.
"You're not my opponent," Yun Chen said calmly.
With a single thought, his figure shot into the sky.
Then his raised fist came crashing down.
Bang!!
Odin tried to block the blow, but his trembling arms were nearly shattered by the impact.
Under the devastating punch, his body plummeted toward the ground like a falling meteor.
Boom!
Yun Chen descended immediately after him.
Landing above Odin, he drove his foot downward and slammed Odin's body deeper into the crater.
The earth sank further as dust and debris erupted into the air.
Yet when the dust settled, Odin was gone.
"Tricks," Yun Chen muttered.
A faint glimmer flashed in his eyes as his vision pierced through the surrounding illusions.
The magic of the gods meant nothing to him.
Just moments earlier, Odin had vanished like a shadow dissolving into darkness and reappeared nearly a hundred meters away.
But before Odin could even catch his breath, Yun Chen was already there.
He moved like a shadow clinging to its target.
"Trying to hide?"
Yun Chen's fist swung forward again.
Odin raised the Spear of Eternity and met the attack head-on.
Bang!!
The clash rang out like thunder.
Yun Chen's fist slammed against the divine spear, producing the sharp sound of metal colliding.
Even though Odin knew how terrifying Superman's body was, seeing his sacred weapon tremble under the force still shocked him.
The Spear of Eternity was forged from divine material.
Yet it was on the verge of breaking.
"Damn Superman," Odin growled.
At that moment, desperate screams continued echoing across the battlefield.
Compared to earlier, even more Asgardians had fallen.
Those warriors were the backbone of Asgard.
Losing even one was painful.
Watching them die like this was unbearable.
"This cannot continue," Odin thought grimly.
His armor had already been shattered.
The Spear of Eternity was nearly broken.
Blood flowed steadily from the wounds across his body.
Odin closed his eyes briefly as exhaustion washed over him.
He was old.
He was no longer the God King at the height of his power.
The screams of his people echoed across the battlefield again.
Odin clenched his teeth.
"Heimdall!"
His voice roared across the sky.
A moment later, someone answered his call.
Far away in Asgard, Heimdall heard him.
Hum!
A beam of brilliant light tore through the night sky.
The Bifrost.
The radiant bridge of energy descended from the heavens.
"Not me," Odin shouted immediately. "Heimdall, take them away!"
The beam shifted direction instantly.
It curved through the air and descended upon the surviving Asgardians nearby.
Carol frowned slightly as the radiant light appeared.
But she stepped back instead of interfering.
Foola looked displeased.
She clearly wanted to rush forward and continue the attack.
But when Yun Chen shot her a warning glance, she reluctantly stopped.
Even so, she refused to leave empty-handed.
With a sharp motion, she hurled the alloy blade she carried directly into the Bifrost beam.
Pfft!
A muffled cry echoed from inside the light.
Moments later, every Asgardian caught within the Bifrost vanished.
The battlefield fell silent.
All the screams disappeared.
Only Odin remained.
He now stood alone.
Across from him, Yun Chen, Foola, and Carol formed a loose triangle that surrounded him.
Yun Chen looked at Odin calmly.
"I know you still have a way to escape," he said. "Now that your people are gone, you're planning to run too?"
Odin's expression remained indifferent.
Blood still trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his current appearance was far from dignified.
He wiped the blood away slowly.
"The rising Superman," Odin said quietly. "And the rebirth of the Kryptonian Empire."
He paused briefly.
"That's… interesting."
"I'm curious how far you'll go in the future."
"But I'm old."
"So that's your excuse?" Yun Chen said bluntly.
Odin's face hardened.
"I admit your strength surpasses mine," he said coldly. "But your brutality will eventually create consequences."
"I hope I never live to see that day."
As his final words faded, Odin's body began to blur.
Some unknown magic had activated.
But Yun Chen had already moved.
Before Odin could completely vanish, Yun Chen's fist struck him.
Puff!
The blow seemed to pass through empty air.
Yet the remaining force still struck Odin's body.
By the time Odin fully disappeared, a mouthful of blood had already splattered across the ground.
Foola stepped forward.
"Should we chase him?" she asked coldly. "We could strike Asgard directly."
"No need," Yun Chen replied calmly.
"Even a dying centipede still wriggles. There's no reason to rush them."
The Kryptonian Empire was still growing stronger.
Just as Yun Chen's power increased every day, the empire itself was entering a period of rapid revival.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Foola said respectfully.
"You did well," Yun Chen continued. "Awakening heat vision proves you still have a lot of potential ahead of you."
