Chapter 338: Odin's Favor (Patreon)

While marveling at the power of the Iron mecha, suddenly, the office landline rang. After activating the speakerphone, Natasha's voice immediately came through.

"Director, the hotel manager says Charles Doyle and Tony Stark are not in the hotel."

"Damn, how is that possible?"

"According to the surveillance, Tony entered wearing the Iron Man armor and hasn't left yet. As for Charles Doyle, he checked into the hotel a few days ago and hasn't left either."

"Since they are not in the hotel. Could they have escaped underground?"

"Natasha, I'm granting you search authorization. Several SHIELD agents will be dispatched soon. Finding Tony is crucial; he's a consultant for SHIELD."

"The situation is troublesome. Their armor is even more powerful than Tony's."

Hearing that it was more powerful than Tony's, Natasha paused for a moment, but the communication had already been cut. She then turned to Winston and spoke:

"Sir, we have important matters regarding Tony Stark. If Charles Doyle is unwilling to take on this mission, please do not obstruct us from meeting Tony."

Upon hearing Natasha's words, Winston's expression turned serious. Although he didn't hear the conversation between Natasha and someone else, he had a bad feeling about it.

"Miss, Charles Doyle and Mr. Stark are not in the hotel."

Upon hearing Winston's response, Natasha shrugged her shoulders and made a helpless gesture with her hands.

"Sir, if possible, please help us contact Tony. He is our consultant, and there's something very important we need to discuss with him."

Seeing that Natasha didn't fully trust him, he shook his head. It's tough to reason with stubborn ghosts.

"The Continental Hotel has its rules. I hope you can abide by them."

After saying that, Winston didn't linger and left directly.

…

In the small town, Thor ran over and grabbed Sif's shoulder, saying, "Sif, you've done your best."

Hearing that Thor wanted her to retreat, Sif refused, "No, I want to die like a warrior. Today's story will be remembered."

Thor's hand rested on Sif's neck, "Survive and tell the children the story yourself. Now, go!"

At this moment, the Destroyer fired another beam, shattering the ground and tossing the car where the two were hiding. They were separated, running in different directions to evade the attack.

Thor ran to the Three Warriors, picking up their shields along the way. He then spoke, "You must return to Asgard and stop Loki."

"And you?"

"Don't worry, friends. I have other plans."

"Go!"

Carrying Fandral, the two retreated to the side. Meanwhile, Sif rescued Doctor Selvig and the others. Seeing everyone regrouping for a collective retreat, Thor discarded the shields he had picked up and walked towards the Destroyer.

Witnessing this, Jane shouted, "Wait."

"What is he trying to do?"

No one could answer Jane's question. Thor approached the Destroyer, speaking as he walked, "Brother, no matter how I wronged you, if I led you to this point, I apologize."

Thor knew that the Destroyer armor was definitely being controlled by Loki, as its displayed power was too weak otherwise.

Sitting on the throne in Asgard, Loki, upon hearing his brother's voice, fell into contemplation.

"But these people are innocent. Killing them won't bring you glory. If you want to kill, then kill me!"

"Cease the battle immediately!"

Listening to Thor's words, Loki finally gave up continuing the attack. The flames and lasers on the Destroyer were extinguished, and the faceplate closed.

Seeing his words have an effect, Thor sighed in relief. A slight smile appeared on his face, indicating that his brother still cared for him.

At this moment, the Destroyer turned to leave, but Loki, within the confines of Asgard, thought of the unfairness Odin had shown towards Thor. The more he thought about it, the more he became infuriated.

Directly manipulating the Destroyer, he gave Thor a resounding slap, sending him flying.

Seeing Thor being slapped, Jane exclaimed, "No," and rushed towards Thor.

Thor looked at Jane running towards him, smiling, "It's over."

Jane shook her head, "No, it's not."

"You're safe."

"We're safe."

"It's over!"

After saying these words, Thor fainted.

Odin, watching this from the void, shook his head helplessly. Then, he lifted the seal on Thor.

As the seal on Thor was lifted, Mjolnir, the hammer of Thor, responded and flew directly towards Thor's location.

Seeing something flying towards them, Doctor Selvig realized the danger and immediately pulled Jane away.

Mjolnir flew into Thor's hand, and in the sky, a lightning bolt struck down. Thor, who had fainted, was fully restored as Odin's removed enchantments took effect.

Drenched in the thunderstorm, Thor attracted the attention of the Destroyer, who had already left.

Seeing this scene, Loki's expression turned unpleasant. Indeed, Odin favored Thor. All the seals and banishments were just a deceitful acting.

Just because I'm not his biological son?

"No, my plan must proceed. Once I kill Laufey, the Frost Giant King, and destroy Jotunheim, I will receive the same honor as Thor, gaining the admiration of the people and the recognition from him."

At this moment, Loki's face was filled with determination.

Watching Thor's transformation, Sif and the Three Warriors smiled. Jane exclaimed, "Oh my God!"

At this moment, Loki controlled the Destroyer and intended to continue attacking Thor. However, Thor threw Mjolnir directly at the Destroyer, knocking it down.

Then, Thor flew into the air, creating a storm around the Destroyer, lifting it into the sky. With Mjolnir in hand, he fiercely struck the Destroyer's head.

Boom!

A thunderous roar, and the Destroyer was directly blasted by Mjolnir.

Odin, hiding in the interdimensional space, covered his chest with his hands, and a tear fell from his eye in Asgard.

It was indeed painful for him. He had spent so much effort creating the Destroyer armor, and now these two brats had destroyed it. That was the armor he once wore to withstand the Eternals.

Now, it was shattered by a single blow.

At this moment, no one could understand Odin's feelings, but for the sake of cultivating Thor, Odin's allowed this to happen. The only consolation for Odin was that Thor had at least grown a bit, becoming less impulsive and more understanding.
