Chapter 54 Intimidating Jotunheim, the Arrogant Russell
Chapter 54 Intimidating Jotunheim, the Arrogant Russell
Witnessing his friend's death, Thor goes into a berserk state.
The power of Thor was unleashed, spreading in all directions through Mjolnir.
In an instant, the frost giant warriors who had surrounded them were forced to retreat by Thor alone.
However, even a large number of ants can kill an elephant.
Frost giant warriors came in droves from all directions, charging fearlessly towards Thor to deplete his divine power and stamina.
Thor was outnumbered and had no choice but to keep narrowing his attack range.
Finally, he retreated to the side of his remaining three teammates, barely managing to protect them.
Upon discovering Loki was not in the group, Thor asked, panting, "Where's Loki?"
Sif and Hogan, who were less seriously injured and still able to fight, exchanged a glance and both shook their heads: "I don't know, we haven't seen him in a long time."
Thor's heart sank.
Could it be that Loki... also died in battle?
Thor shook his head, banishing these distracting thoughts from his mind.
The battle is not over yet; it is not the time for grief.
“Thor,” Sif said in a low voice, “you break through, Hogan and I will cover you.”
“No,” Thor refused resolutely. “I will not abandon you and run away alone.”
“Thor!” Sif’s voice grew louder. “If you don’t leave, none of us will be able to leave.”
"That's right, none of you will be leaving!"
Observing that Thor's divine power was showing signs of decline, Laufey decided to take the initiative.
Today, he will use the death of Odin's son to rebuild the glory of the Frost Giants!
"Prepare to die, son of Odin."
Taking advantage of a gap in Thor's swing of his hammer, Laufey swung his axe at Thor.
Just now.
A rainbow of light descended from the sky.
boom!
With a deafening roar, the surrounding frost giants were all forced back, including Laufey.
Bertrand Russell, the hero has arrived.
Looking around, I saw that Thor was accompanied by only three people.
Volstagg lay dead to one side, while Loki was nowhere to be found.
Russell sighed softly, "It seems I'm still a little late."
Unfortunately, you can't openly use portal spells in Asgard, otherwise the spatial fluctuations will be detected and considered an intrusion.
However, riding the Rainbow Bridge was still a little slow.
Turning around, Russell looked at the countless frost giant warriors in front of him and in the distance.
He strode forward and declared domineeringly, "This war... I will end it."
After saying that, Russell walked toward Laufey, the Frost Giant King.
The spiritual power gradually spread, becoming almost tangible, pressing down on the many frost giant warriors.
"If you haven't had enough, then I will be your opponent."
Ta-ta-ta.
Russell approached step by step, exuding hostility, and his mental energy began to become more aggressive.
Laufey's face was grim, and his tone was icy:
“Strong stranger, I advise you not to get involved in this mess.”
"Roar!"
A colossal ice beast suddenly pounced from the side, its blood-red maw snapping at Russell.
Russell frowned, took a large step back with a hint of disdain, and just managed to avoid it.
He raised his hand and slapped the head of the frost behemoth.
"Be careful, do not touch the Frost Beast's body directly, or you will be corroded by its icy energy."
Sif's notification sounded, but it was too late.
But... it doesn't matter.
Russell gently placed his hand on the head of the frost behemoth and whispered:
I once heard a joke that Thor was afraid of electricity.
I wonder if the Frost Behemoth is afraid of ice.
The talent [Energy Absorption] is activated.
In an instant, it plundered all the icy energy and internal energy from the frost behemoth in front of it.
The frost behemoth's temperature dropped to near 0K, freezing the cells, molecules, and atoms within its body.
A lifelike ice sculpture of a giant beast appeared before everyone's eyes.
Russell slowly withdrew his hand and looked at Laufey:
"Is this your answer, Lord Laufey the Frost Giant?"
boom!
The next second, the weather changed dramatically, the clouds churned, and the earth tore apart.
The mental energy pressing down on the Frost Giant Warrior transformed from the boulder into sharp blades, piercing straight into the depths of his soul.
"what."
Only a small fraction of the Frost Giant warriors had time to scream before either managing to stand or collapsing to the ground.
The vast majority of the Frost Giant warriors, however, remained silent and went straight to sleep.
"Humph~"
Loki couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, revealing himself from his disguise.
In the recent melee, he secretly disguised himself as a frost giant warrior and turned an enemy into a friend.
However, at this moment, no one noticed him.
Seeing this, Loki quietly pulled Russell to his side.
Looking around, tens of thousands of frost giant warriors within a radius of tens of kilometers had almost instantly lost their fighting ability.
The frost behemoth, suddenly frozen in place, did not terrify Thor and his companions, as they could not discern the cause of its demise.
But in almost an instant, he single-handedly wiped out tens of thousands of frost giant warriors in the vicinity, which was completely beyond Thor's imagination.
Laufey's face turned ashen.
On one hand, it was truly embarrassing that the Frost Behemoth was frozen by other people's ice magic. (Loufi also failed to see through Russell's method.)
On the other hand, the sudden loss of tens of thousands of soldiers made Laufey even more wary of Russell.
However, such a wide-range attack must consume a lot of energy.
He didn't believe that Russell could wipe out the Frost Giants before he ran out of energy and strength.
However, the frost giant warriors around him have all lost their fighting ability.
It was no longer possible to keep Thor and the others.
Laufey coldly swept his gaze over Thor and the others, uttering a harsh threat:
"Thor Odinson, get out of here with your friends."
However, this matter won't end here; I will give you what you want.
—War, and death.
While the battle was at a stalemate, Hogan also gathered up Vostagg's body.
Thor and his companions gathered together, waiting for Heimdall to activate the Rainbow Bridge and bring them back to Asgard.
Was my meaning unclear?
Just as Laufey and Thor were preparing to call a truce and resume their battle another day, Russell's voice rang out at an inopportune moment.
"I said, I'm here to end this war!"
Swish!
All eyes turned to Russell, staring intently at him.
Laufey and Thor never expected that Russell, after forcefully suppressing the Frost Giant warriors on the scene and creating an opening to rescue Thor and his group, would still not be satisfied.
They wanted to force the Frost Giants to voluntarily declare a truce.
"Too deceiving!"
Laufey, unable to bear it any longer, conjured a greatsword of ice and slashed at Russell.
Russell neither dodged nor avoided the situation, nor did he even invoke divine power to resist.
Hey~
A piercing sound of metal clashing together rang out.
To the astonishment of Laufey, Thor, and the others, Russell emerged unscathed.
Laufey's greatsword of ice was covered in cracks after the collision.
Russell grinned.
Laufey, the Frost Giant, was clearly the one who resembled a demon, while Russell was handsome and dashing.
But at this moment, Russell's smile appeared terrifying and eerie to everyone.
Just looking at it sends chills down my spine.
"It's my turn."
Russell clenched his fist, and divine power rapidly gathered within his body.
Crack!
With a sonic boom, Russell threw a punch that slammed into Laufey's chest with lightning speed.
As he threw a punch, Russell roared inwardly.
So you call yourself Laufey the Frost Giant?!
P.S.: Kelvin (K) is one of the basic units of temperature in thermodynamics.
0K is approximately -273.15 degrees Celsius and is considered absolute zero.
