On the icy battlefield-
On the left side, Gamakichi was hacking at a wounded Frost Giant Beast, occasionally firing a water cannon, forcing the opponent to retreat.
On the right side, Thor and Ligari's enhanced Frost Giant Beast were locked in a fierce combat.
In the middle of the battlefield, Charles's one hundred shadow clones were now reduced to around eighty. They were intercepting the constant stream of Frost Giants pouring out from the camp.
Although the Frost Giants' strength was weaker compared to Charles's shadow clones, some clones were still hit due to the large number of surprise attacks.
They would then turn into smoke and disappear, but the number of frost giants killed by them was far greater. The plain was now covered with the corpses of Frost Giants.
Meanwhile, Charles's main body was entangled in a struggle with Kranqula. This guy truly lived up to his reputation as a Mountain Giant. Standing on the earth, his strength seemed endless, and the injuries he suffered continued to heal.
…
On the other side-
At this moment, Mountain Giant King Yodon and the new Frost Giant King Farbauti were discussing where to place the gathered Frost Giants to defend against the attack from Asgard.
Farbauti was the wife of the former Frost Giant King Laufei. After the destruction of the Frost Giant King's Court and her husband's death, she stepped forward and quickly unified the crumbling Frost Giant clan.
During their discussion, Yodon received an urgent message from Kranqula. After reading it, Yodon laughed heartily.
"Fortune favors us indeed! Odin's foolish son has come with only one companion to challenge the Frost Giants."
"My subordinate Kranqula and yours, Ligari, have surrounded them with troops. As long as we capture Thor, Odin won't dare to do anything to us."
Hearing the mention of Odin's son, Farbauti's face revealed a hateful expression.
"Odin's son, I will use his blood to mourn my dead husband. I will make Odin feel the pain of losing his family."
Yodon advised, "Capture his son first, not kill him. What we want is not to provoke Odin into fighting us. Otherwise, even if we both suffer losses, it will only benefit others."
"As long as we capture Thor, Odin won't dare to act against Jotunheim. By then, the other nine realms will revolt, and Odin won't be able to withstand it."
"As long as we delay Odin till his death, whether you use Thor's head to mourn your husband, or whether you destroy Asgard and trigger the Twilight of the gods, there will be no problem."
Upon hearing Yodon's advice, Farbauti calmed down and then stood up, saying:
"Let's go, we'll go capture Thor now. Even if we can't kill him immediately, I'll make sure to torture him well."
"Odin is a one-eyed blind man; I want to pluck out one of Thor's eyes and make him exactly like Odin."
Watching Farbauti gritting her teeth, Yodon shook his head, but this time he didn't refuse. Instead, he stood up and said, "Let's go, I hope my subordinates can hold Thor down."
Then the two of them walked out of the king's court, without bringing any subordinates, heading directly towards the direction of the Frost Plain.
...
Kranqula was somewhat out of breath at this moment. Although his injuries were constantly healing, his mental energy was rapidly being consumed, and the pain he endured did not decrease.
At the same time, the power of the earth within him was constantly being depleted.
This was, after all, an icy plain, and although there was earth beneath the ice providing him with power and recovery, the consumption was much greater than in the mountainous terrain.
"You cannot kill me. As long as I am standing on the earth, I will not die."
However, Kranqula left out a sentence: As long as I don't die and delay you until the arrival of the king, it will be you who will die.
Hearing the opponent's words, Charles smiled, "Standing on the earth, huh?"
Charles's hands formed seals, and a large number of twisted branches appeared on the ground, directly rushing towards Kranqula.
Kranqula reacted quickly, summoning an earth wall in front of himself to block. However, the Wood Release performed by Charles broke the earth wall and collided with him.
The tremendous impact sent him flying backward, but his feet did not leave the ground. Instead, a deep trench was created on the ground.
At this moment, Charles clenched his fist with one hand and summoned a giant wooden log larger than Kranqula's body, crashing towards him again.
"Wood Release: Tree Bind Eternal Burial!"
"Boom!"
The massive impact lifted Kranqula off the ground, completely airborne. This time, he was sent flying towards the pile of Charles's shadow clones.
"Multiple Shadow Clone - Lightning Saber!"
Charles's ten shadow clones, all wielding lightning blades, rushed towards the airborne Kranqula.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"
The speed of each Charles with a lightning blade exceeded the speed of sound, creating a dazzling lightning glow.
They pierced through Kranqula's body, dismembering him as they went. Each shadow clone attacked from a different angle, and Kranqula was instantly torn apart into nearly 20 pieces.
"Splatter!"
The dismembered Kranqula dropped from the sky like falling pieces. However, the shadow clones that had finished their attacks didn't forget to finish the job.
"Lightning Release: Earth Traverse!"
When all ten shadow clones used Lightning Release simultaneously, countless lightning bolts surged over the ground, completely slicing Kranqula's fallen body parts into tiny pieces of soil.
The ten shadow clones, having depleted their chakra, dispersed into smoke in the air.
Kranqula, having been dismembered into fragments, was as dead as dead could be. The power of the earth couldn't recover him this time.
Seeing his tactic being a success, Charles disdainfully glanced at the pile of soil in the distance and then spoke, "He fell down so easily; I thought he could be more resilient!"
