"Roar!!"
Abomination let out a furious howl before grabbing onto one of the Destroyer's arms with both hands, his large foot stomping on its head, and pulling with all his might!
The scene looked like someone pulling up a giant carrot out of the ground!
The sound of metal creaking under pressure echoed from the Destroyer's arm, sending chills down anyone's spine.
Just then, Arthur arrived with a sword in his hand. He spun twice with the large sword cutting through the air with a faint glow of white light emanating from its blade. With a swift motion, the sword sliced through the Destroyer's arm!
A sharp *shhkk* sound followed, and the Destroyer's arm was severed at the root.
The Abomination had pulled so hard that he fell flat on his backside, clutching the Destroyer's arm, which was still moving!
The arm wriggled and transformed, spinning wildly in Abomination's hands, producing sparks as the two struggled against each other.
Without hesitation, Arthur signaled, and the Abomination flung the arm toward him.
Arthur leaped into the air. The severed arm shifted mid-flight, its hand morphing into a razor-sharp spike, spinning furiously as it cut through the air toward him.
Activating his steel-boned body, Arthur sheathed his sword and clasped his hands together in front of his chest, catching the arm between his palms.
He could feel the immense force radiating from the Destroyer's Arm, his hands barely able to hold on. The tremendous power in the arm spun against his palms, depleting his colorless energy rapidly. His body was being pushed back by the sheer strength of the arm.
"Absorb!!!" Arthur mentally screamed.
[Absorption failed!]
A sudden repelling force surged from the arm, pushing against his hands.
With two opposing forces acting on the arm, it halted briefly. Before it could recover, Arthur gave the command again, and his palms suddenly felt empty— the Destroyer's arm had been absorbed into his Disassembler Space.
Landing on the ground, Arthur staggered back a few steps. His two-handed sword reappeared in his grip, and he prepared to charge again.
But then, he felt a gust of wind rush past him.
Looking up, he saw a figure in a red cape, clad in armor, holding a massive hammer in his hand: "Blondie!" (Note: Nickname for Thor)
Thor glanced at Arthur in confusion and said, "Who's that? Earthling, this is my battle!"
"Oh, then go ahead."
Arthur's response was surprisingly cooperative.
Without any argument, Arthur called the Abomination back, sheathed his sword, and casually stepped aside. To top it off, he pulled an apple from his Disassembler Space and began munching on it, content to be a spectator.
Thor was stunned when he saw this scene as he was expecting to argue more. He hadn't anticipated Arthur being so agreeable.
What Thor didn't know was that Arthur's goal was simply to ensure Thor completed his trial.
If the Destroyer hadn't attacked him, Arthur would have remained a spectator from the start.
Now that Thor had regained his powers and Mjolnir, Arthur's mission was complete.
As for defeating the Destroyer, Arthur didn't really care much about that.
After all, despite everything, Arthur had only managed to take one of the Destroyer's arms. Defeating it entirely would be a tall order.
So why not leave the rest to Thor?
After all, the Destroyer might seem invincible when fighting Arthur, but against Thor? That might not be the case...
Ultimately, Loki was controlling the Destroyer, and when it came to these two brothers, it wasn't really about hatred.
It was more like a love-hate relationship!
Loki loved this kind of drama...
…
…
Just as Arthur had predicted, while the Destroyer had fought fiercely against him, using various powerful tactics even with only one arm, the moment it faced Thor, it crumbled in a few blows.
After Thor's triumphant victory, he looked full of confidence. Arthur sent out the Eye of Horus and noticed that most of the Destroyer's shattered pieces had mysteriously disappeared, leaving only a few scattered fragments nearby.
One of the fragments happened to land right in front of Arthur. He picked it up and quickly realized that such a piece had no value for Disassembly— it wasn't even worth the effort of an autonomous Disassembly.
Casually, he stashed it into his Disassembler Space, noticing that the severed arm was still there.
Looking up at the sky, Arthur's eyes filled with thought.
"Hey!"
Thor's voice called from behind. Arthur turned to see him and saw Thor with one arm around the woman he had just charmed, as he said, "Thank you."
Arthur shrugged. "It's nothing, This was just part of the agreement."
Thor paused feeling confused. The sound of a car engine roared from a distance, approaching quickly until it stopped in front of them.
A middle-aged man with a high receding hairline stepped out of the car and began walking over. As he spotted Arthur, his expression shifted slightly, "I think I've seen you before!"
"But some people have forgotten me, or don't even acknowledge me anymore."
Arthur pressed something lightly near his ear, causing his mask to retract. Smiling, he said, "There were some things I hadn't figured out before, which is why I haven't met old friends or dealt with certain matters. Tell you what, after I return, I'll visit SHIELD."
Coulson's pupils shrank sharply as he spoke. "You—"
Before he could finish, the Abomination had already appeared behind Arthur.
With a swift motion, Arthur leaped onto Abomination's shoulder while crouching slightly. As he pressed a button near his ear again, the black mask slid back onto his face. "Thor, I'll need to go with you to Asgard. Your father still owes me something. I'll wait for you at the Bifrost location."
"It seems you owe me an explanation as well."
Even Thor, simple as he might be, knew by now that Arthur's appearance wasn't just a coincidence.
Arthur grinned, and with a powerful leap, Abomination soared into the air.
…
…
The distance wasn't far, and Arthur soon found the place where Asgard's four warriors had previously landed. The symbol, like a stamp on the ground, was still there.
Arthur dismissed Abomination and sat down.
Since Thor hadn't arrived yet, he casually pulled out the Destroyer's arm from the Disassembler Space, but no Disassembly prompt appeared.
Thinking for a moment, Arthur chose to attempt Disassembly manually.
[This item cannot be Disassembled at this time. Please upgrade the Disassembler level first! Would you like to forcefully Disassemble Destroyer (Arm) (Rare)?]
Arthur fell silent, recalling that in the past, the Disassembler would either state that something couldn't be Disassembled or that his level was insufficient.
Now, the message was instructing him to upgrade his Disassembler level first.
As he pondered, a second prompt appeared from the Disassembler.
[This item is extremely valuable. Please carefully consider your Disassembler level!]
"Is it that considerate?"
Arthur was taken aback. This was the first time he had seen such a warning, confirming that the Destroyer's arm wasn't something to be casually Disassembled.
"This is the first piece of equipment I've encountered that has reached 'Certain' level…" He blinked, stuffing the Destroyer's arm back into the Disassembler space and pulling out The Orb, opting to Disassemble it instead.
[This item cannot be Disassembled at this time. Please upgrade the Disassembler level first! Would you like to forcefully Disassemble 'The Orb' (Unknown)?]
[This item is of immense value. Please carefully consider your Disassembler level!]
[Warning! Warning! Warning!]
[If you forcefully Disassemble this item, unknown changes may occur!]
