The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics

Facing the shadow that suddenly attacked him, Thor used his powerful dynamic vision to see the attacker clearly, but the attacker's true face shocked him.

Although the shock caused Thor's brain to briefly stall, his battle-hardened body moved on its own, and Thor's right hand subconsciously raised Mjolnir to block the attacker's attack.

“Clang!”

The bell-like sound was deafening, tormenting everyone's ears, and the sound and the force from his hand awakened Thor. He steadied his mind and stopped the attacker from advancing further.

Thanks to Thor's obstruction, the attacker finally revealed her true face. It was Loki, whose mind was controlled by the Sky Hammer.

“Loki…” Thor looked complicated, and was about to speak again when Loki interrupted him.

“I am Skadi, one of the Sky Hammer Venerables under the command of the God of Fear!”

Loki gradually increased the force on her hand, and was actually able to press Thor's body backward.

It should be known that, throughout the Nine Realms, there are only a handful of people who can compete with Thor in strength, and even fewer who can overpower him. Loki would never have been able to do this before.

Thor immediately made a judgment: This is the power of the Serpent Kur. The Sky Hammer not only controls the user's mind, but also enhances the user's strength.

“Squeak!”

Metal combat boots rubbed against the seemingly invisible Rainbow Bridge, making a harsh sound. Loki didn't allow Thor to think too much, and began pushing Thor backward.

‘Sorry, Loki.’

In an emergency, Thor apologized silently in his heart, and a powerful force of lightning surged from his body, with lightning dragons coiling around him.

Thor's muscles bulged, and with a roar, he threw Loki out. As she flew out, Loki was entangled by Thor's lightning.

Knowing that she couldn't fight head-on, Loki turned into a cloud of green smoke to avoid the encirclement of lightning. When she reappeared, she had returned to the Rainbow Bridge.

Grasping the Sky Hammer tightly, Loki suppressed the slight spasms in her body caused by the lightning. This is a normal physiological phenomenon for living beings. After all, even the gods of Asgard are just powerful and ancient creatures.

And although Loki has the divine status of the God of Mischief, she is only a Frost Giant. Although Odin used some method to transform her into a physique similar to that of the Asgardians, lightning can still affect her body if it is strong enough.

“Leave Loki to me.” Thor reached out to untie the cloak on his shoulder armor. “Father, please lead everyone to support Midgard.”

“You're not the only one who wants to talk to your compatriots, child.”

Odin was already standing next to Thor, no one noticed when he appeared or how he got there.

“Thor and I will stay. Balder! You lead the rest to Midgard. There are countless living beings there who need our help.”

“Yes, Father.” After Balder took the order, the Rainbow Bridge actually split into a fork, and Balder immediately led the army onto that fork.

The authority of the Rainbow Bridge is in Heimdall's hands, and because he can monitor the神通(Shéntōng, supernatural powers) of the Nine Realms, he has been watching what happened just now, and of course, he can control the Rainbow Bridge to change course at the right time.

Logically speaking, the Serpent should stop these guys who might weaken his power, but he knew that if he took action, Odin would definitely seize the opportunity to give him a hard blow.

Although verbally insulting him in every possible way, the Serpent knew very well that Odin, who was sitting on the throne of the God-King, was no longer the little kid who followed behind his brothers a thousand years ago. Even he was not sure of defeating him.

The Serpent grinned, and said meaningfully, “It seems that my brother also wants to chat with me.”

“Let's go to space. No planet can withstand the 'loud voices' of the two of us.”

Odin looked at the Serpent calmly, as if he was asking for the Serpent's opinion, but his tone didn't sound like he was discussing anything.

“What if I say no?” The Serpent said with a smile.

Odin still looked calm, and said, “I'm not discussing it with you.”

The next second, a sharp edge cut through space and smashed straight towards the Serpent. The Serpent's pupils shrank, and the relaxed expression on his face disappeared. He kicked the hammer handle to borrow strength and scooped the hammer in front of his chest.

“Ding!”

A golden spear pierced the Serpent's hammer handle. The hammer handle, which was originally three fingers thick, looked so narrow at the critical moment. The Serpent narrowly blocked Odin's attack.

A drop of cold sweat dripped from his forehead. Just as the Serpent was about to push Gungnir back, Odin had already come to his side.

Odin grabbed the spear shaft with one hand, and with the power to shake the World Tree, he pushed the Serpent back, until the two turned into a shooting star and disappeared on the Rainbow Bridge.

The originally lively Rainbow Bridge was instantly left with only Thor and Loki. The situation changed so quickly that neither of them had time to react.

Loki was the first to move. She immediately turned to face the direction in which the Serpent and Odin left, obviously wanting to chase them. Thor, who was a step slower, turned into lightning and came behind Loki, forcefully pressing the latter to the ground.

With a “clang,” the hammer landed, and the two also wrestled on the ground.

“Let go of me!” In order to break free from Thor's restraints, Loki immediately chose to punch and kick. Fortunately, the latter's physical fitness was too strong, otherwise he would not be able to withstand these attacks that were enough to shake mountains.

“I'm saving you!” Thor tried his best to hold Loki down. “Our father's battle is not something we can interfere with. If you are accidentally caught in it, you will die!”

Loki held Thor with one hand and reached for the Sky Hammer lying on the ground with her free hand. Under the call of its master, the Sky Hammer flew into her hand. Loki didn't hesitate and immediately swung the hammer towards Thor's head.

“Bang!”

This hammer hit Thor's head solidly. Under the force of the giant force, Thor flew out to the left, and slid for hundreds of meters before stopping.

“My life was given by my father, what's wrong with dedicating my life to him?”

After Loki finished speaking, she turned to leave, but a hammer wrapped in lightning roared past her ear and smashed in front of her with a “boom,” blocking her again.

Loki turned her head and saw Thor staggering up from the ground. The winged helmet on his head was gone, and a large patch of blood stained his originally golden hair red. He looked shaky, as if he could lie down at any time.

However, he still stood up.
