After the darkness fell, the thin mist moved like a veil among the stars, sometimes spreading out to the distance like a curtain, and sometimes condensing into fascinating illusions, like strange creatures peeking out from the universe.

The mist at dawn always carried a chilling and eerie feeling, as if it was concealing the unfathomable darkness of the universe. At this time, lightning became like a messenger of light that cut through the darkness, crackling like a torn cloth at the end of the sky with a rumbling sound, as if the earth was breaking apart.

A white light appeared on the horizon, unfolding downwards like a humming sword.

A huge lightning bolt fell from the end of the sky, illuminating the entire night sky with intense light, revealing all darkness. After the lightning bolt fell, a pouring rain followed.

The violent sound of thunder woke Thor up from his bed, struggling in the darkness. He reached out to touch his shoulder wound and sat up, walking to the window and looking at the heavy rain beating against the glass.

For someone who had fallen asleep while contemplating without an answer, the sound of rain was the best medicine. After the mix of quietness and noise, Thor's thoughts gradually calmed down with the ever-changing sound of rain. He finally had enough time to think.

However, the peace did not last long as an urgent ringing sound interrupted him. Thor turned to look at the mobile phone provided by SHIELD, and the screen's light was particularly abrupt in the dark room. When he picked up the phone, he heard SHIELD agent Hill's puzzled voice: "Is New Mexico the designated landing site for Asgard? What did you throw down?!"

"New Mexico?" Thor was also puzzled. "What did we throw down?!"

"Oh, wait, it's standing up, damn it. What is it? How did it-"

"Hello? Hill? What's going on?! What did you see?!"

While Thor was still on the phone asking for details, a portal appeared in the center of the room, and Strange walked out of it, saying: "Your Asgard has thrown a super weapon towards Earth, and you have to find a way to deal with it. Come with me."

Thor didn't have time to ask for the details and was pulled into the portal by Strange.

When they arrived in New Mexico, Thor covered his stomach and said, "Do all your Kamar-Taj portals make you feel sick?"

Then, he stood up straight and looked at the huge robot behind a hill to the south of the landing site. At this point, the sound of car engines sounded, and Hill and Steve walked down from the car. Hill also looked up at the massive object.

It was a huge mechanical monster that was five to six hundred meters tall and looked somewhat like a Viking warrior from legend. It was entirely black, surrounded by divine power, with shining metallic luster and red light glowing in its eyes. Its movements were agile, and it didn't look like a mechanical creation at all.

A beam of light flashed by Thor's side, and the Warriors Three and Sif arrived. They saw Strange pulling Thor and angrily said, "Thor! What are you doing here? Leave now! Loki may be targeting you, and you-"

"Wait, Loki is controlling the Destroyer!" Hogun yelled. "He's inside the Destroyer."

"How dare he be so presumptuous!" Volstagg said angrily. "That's the Father of Gods' ride!"

He had just finished speaking when a red light with a destructive aura swept over. The Warriors Three agilely dodged, and Strange urgently teleported with Thor. When they landed, Thor felt dizzy again. When he finally cleared his head, he saw Loki's figure in the Destroyer's cockpit.

"Loki?! What are you doing?! Stop it!!" Thor shouted at the Destroyer, but the giant robot completely ignored him and kept attacking them with the searing beams from its eyes.

This powerful Asgardian weapon was indeed worthy of its reputation. The destructive beams from its eyes carried tremendous power. Whenever it swept over the ground, it left a deep blackened trench. When it walked with heavy steps, its huge figure was extremely oppressive, causing an earthquake-like shaking with every step. Sif and the Warriors Three each drew their weapons, and their divine power glowed on their hands, ready to fight.

As for Thor, he was currently useless, just an ordinary person who could do nothing but dodge. The Destroyer's footsteps kicked up countless cigarette dust, and the searing beams cut through the ground. Under Loki's control, the Destroyer was not only powerful but also precise. When the Warriors Three tried to strike back, Fandral raised his sword and said, "Attack its right leg!"

His enchanted sword swung out, and a crescent-shaped sword beam struck the Destroyer's right leg, but it instantly dissipated against the protective shield of the leg armor, leaving no trace.

"Ah!!!" Sword Master Fandar screamed in pain as the Destroyer shot a beam of destruction at him while he was recoiling from his attack. Fandar's right arm was hit by the scorching beam, and the entire arm melted instantly, leaving Thor stunned.

Sif was also coughing from the shockwave and pulled Thor's arm to make him retreat, saying, "This won't work. We can't defeat him alone. Thor, go get your weapons."

Meanwhile, Hill looked at her watch and said, "Why haven't they arrived yet?"

But Strange opened a portal and said, "I'll go check on them."

The portal disappeared, and Strange arrived in the conference room of Stark Tower. He left the room, took the elevator upstairs, and arrived at the laboratory of Stark Tower, where he heard Schiller and Stark arguing.

"High power, high power. That's all you think about. Can't you go screw in your light bulb?" Schiller leaned on the lab table and said, "Well, if this method doesn't convince you, I'll try another."

"Do you have the technical expertise to make the type of frozen nuclear bomb I want?" Stark asked, and Peter, standing next to him, instinctively dodged to the side. Just as Stark was about to raise his fist, Strange walked in and said, "A huge Mech armor weapon from Asgard has landed in New Mexico. They call it the Destroyer, and the Asgardians on Earth can't handle it."

Stark, Peter, and Connor, far away, looked at Schiller together. Schiller said, "What do you want me to do?"

"Whenever something unexpected happens on Earth, we know who's responsible," Stark said, walking to the lab table and looking at the materials. "The frozen nuclear bomb you asked me to make, is it for that thing?"

Before Schiller could answer, Stark continued, "But that's still not a good idea. If your goal was to defeat it from the beginning, why didn't you tell me earlier? I could have developed an anti-Destroyer armor."

"Perhaps in your eyes, Asgard is more like a magical civilization, but in fact, their technology is also very advanced, even far beyond humans." Schiller glanced at Strange, who continued, "Indeed, Asgard's architecture and clothing look like Vikings, but they have very advanced technology. Most things in Asgard's palace are automated, but their energy comes from divine power."

"Especially the Rainbow Bridge." Strange emphasized, "Although I haven't experienced it up close, that thing is likely the star-destroying weapon that often appears in human science fiction."

"Star-destroying weapon? Where does their energy come from?"

"Divine power is a very peculiar power." Strange frowned and said, "I don't know exactly where this power comes from, but I've heard that it may be related to the World Tree."

"Okay, back to the point." Schiller interrupted their conversation and said, "I need the frozen nuclear bomb, precisely to deal with the Destroyer."

"Although this thing should have been obsolete for a long time, it undoubtedly represented Asgard's most advanced technology." Schiller was very confident in the Destroyer's strength because in a certain version of the comic, Odin once drove the Destroyer to face the group of gods, not just one but a group of gods.

Although it was not explicitly written that the Destroyer defeated the group of gods, Odin's confidence in this weapon's strength was evident by driving it to face such a powerful enemy.

He turned and looked at Stark, saying, "I believe that perhaps you can develop a super weapon to defeat the Destroyer, but if his body contains advanced Asgardian technology, what if there is any damage?"

"Stop talking," Stark interrupted him directly, turned to Conners and said, "Let's see how to deal with the cryogenic warhead. We must pay attention to the preservation effect and try not to damage any parts. Freeze it intact."

Conners came over and asked Schiller, "You gave me a high-power low-temperature generator before, saying it can freeze a large area instantly. Can we turn this function into a powerful single-target attack? Did you already have this idea back then?"

Stark also looked at Schiller and asked, "One more question, if we freeze it and take it away, won't the Asgardians object?"

"Don't talk nonsense, this thing fell from the sky, what does it have to do with Asgard? This is nature's gift."

"That makes sense."
