[Superman] Chapter 45: Fleeing in Embarrassment
🕑 Added 2024-01-10 07:43:15 +0000 UTC"That's right, it was me!"
Facing Odin's haughty gaze that seemed to see through everything, Peter did not hesitate at all replying without any fear.
"As expected, hit the young one and the old one comes. "
"Unfortunately, a scene like this may be a life-or-death trial for other novel protagonists."
"But for me, at worst, I'll deal with the old one together."
Looking at Odin with his imposing manner that still couldn't conceal his aged decrepitude, Peter did not feel any fear at all, and even had the idea of fighting Odin.
"After all, I was helping him, lest he only remembers he's the God of Hammers, and forgets the essence of his bloodline."
It wasn't Peter trying to justify himself, but in the earlier fight, although it looked like he had completely crushed Thor one-sidedly.
Peter had also discovered the potential of this universe's Thor, who seemed stronger than the Thor of the MCU.
In his anger and fury earlier, this Thor had already unconsciously wielded the divine thunder power within him.
However, perhaps because he relied too much on his hammer, he had completely forgotten that he himself was the real God of Thunder, not the God of Hammers relying on the hammer of Thor.
"God of Hammers..."
Hearing Peter's words, Odin's gaze looked back at Thor behind him again, his expression solemn as if pondering something.
In fact, how could he not know that Thor possessed great potential, even surpassing his own?
And that was exactly why he felt fear, afraid that in his old age, not only had he failed to groom a proper wise ruler, but instead raised another Hela...
"But no matter what, Mjolnir still belongs to our Asgard..."
Temporarily putting aside his other thoughts, Odin turned his gaze back to Peter in the air, his piercing single eye seeming to want to see through Peter completely.
He had always been the one looked up to by others, and having to look up at someone else now seemed to make Odin feel a little uncomfortable.
So the next moment, without any visible action from him, his body seemed to be lifted by an invisible force, slowly rising up to be level with Peter.
"So what now? It's already shattered, you can't be asking me to compensate you right?"
Facing Odin, the lord of the Nine Realms, Peter's tone was as relaxed as if speaking to an ordinary old man.
Looking up at the two figures in the sky, Captain America on the ground was completely helpless.
Looking at Fury's grave expression beside him, he could only think: "Of what use could waking me up be in such a drastically changed world?"
"Yes, it's already shattered..."
Seeing the fragments of the hammer of Thor scattered all over the ground, Odin sank into contemplation.
As Thor's elder, he couldn't easily make a move, to avoid accusations of bullying the weak.
But as Asgard's ruler, he needed to regain lost face for Asgard.
...
"Stop hesitating, why don't we just fight it out, I'm curious to see if you're still qualified to be the lord of the Nine Realms in your old age!"
Facing Odin's hesitation, Peter suddenly spoke up, directly challenging Odin.
"Human... you dare, provoke me?"
Hearing Peter's provocative words, Odin could finally no longer maintain his aloof composure.
He shook the eternal spear in his hand violently in the void, the sharp golden spear tip pointing straight at Peter.
The next moment, a formless terrifying aura instantly swept out in all directions.
The ordinary people on the ground, swept over by this powerful aura, even felt the urge to kneel down immediately.
Facing Odin's imposing manner head-on, Peter also felt a formidable aura brimming with sharpness, although still expressionless, his gaze gradually became serious.
"As expected of Odin the Allfather, much stronger than Thor, unfortunately, just too old!"
Yet he did not back down at all, his eyes fixed on Odin before him, crimson radiance continuously gathering within.
"Humph!"
Seeing Peter not crushed by the powerful aura he was emitting, Odin felt surprised, and even more angry.
He couldn't help but give a cold snort, the not-too-loud sound instantly spreading throughout New York City, almost everyone losing their senses for a moment under this cold snort.
In the sky, Odin's formidable aura made the wind and clouds churn rapidly, like an inverted massive eye of the storm, shrouding New York City in an apocalyptic scene.
However, in the next moment, a beam of golden light suddenly shot from the ground straight into the sky, and then Odin's apocalyptic scene formed from his powerful aura was instantly dispelled.
"Hmm? You want to intervene..."
Odin's gaze instantly shifted in a certain direction, as if able to see through the void at someone there.
"Ah!"
But the next moment, Odin instantly shifted his gaze back, looking at Peter whose crimson energy in his eyes had already gathered to a level that even made him feel alarmed.
At the same time, with an extremely grave expression, he hurriedly aimed the eternal spear in his hand at Peter before him, hastily summoning the tremendous Odin Force within him through the spear shooting towards Peter.
Boom!
Two kinds of terrifying and vast energies, one crimson and one golden, instantly collided.
The next moment, the terrifying energies caused the void to shake violently, the horrifying roar that exploded countless times more powerful than when Peter fought Thor earlier.
As if a dazzling star had suddenly exploded over New York, a fearsome storm of energy swept outwards at a visible speed.
Everything the powerful energy came into contact with was obliterated instantly, even the air unable to escape.
On the ground, countless people looked at the intense energy blossoming in the sky, wanting to flee in their hearts, yet only endless powerlessness remained.
They could only watch helplessly as that energy seemingly capable of annihilating everything swept towards them.
"If I could, I'd only wish to return to my previous slumbering state."
Captain America raised his shield, then lowered it slowly...
Crack!
Suddenly, a sound resembling shattering glass rang in everyone's ears.
The next moment, to everyone's surprise, the vast energy that was surging outwards, almost capable of leveling the entire New York City, along with the two figures battling in the sky, suddenly vanished without a trace.
Crack!
Yet in the blink of an eye, the space in front of everyone cracked open just like a mirror.
A somewhat bedraggled figure tumbled out from the shattered mirror-like space, instantly rushing to the ground towards Thor, with two crimson beams hot on his heels.
"Father, you..."
Seeing Odin fending off the crimson beams with the eternal spear with one hand, Thor was completely incredulous.
"Heimdall!"
Grabbing Thor with one hand, Odin shouted into the void directly.
The next moment, the Bifrost thundered down from the void, instantly enveloping Odin and Thor.
Seeing the Bifrost's beam swiftly dissipating.
Peter, who had just charged out from the shattered void, unhesitatingly turned the spewing crimson beams in his eyes towards the dissipating Bifrost.
Then, along with the red beams unleashed by Peter, Odin and Thor's figures completely vanished into the Bifrost.
After spending a few seconds finally stopping the full-powered heat vision unleashed for the first time, Peter's eyes, still emanating eerie crimson radiance, stared at the void and said slowly.
"Humph, ran away pretty quick."
