Chapter 1025: The Difference Between Ants, Mosquitoes, and Fleas
Loki wasn’t in a hurry to kill Thor.
Simply getting rid of Thor didn’t suit his taste.
He wanted to knock Thor’s comrades around in front of him, and let him taste the pain.
Loki had a lot of grievances against his foolish brother. Once he got the upper hand, he would definitely repay the grievances he had suffered since he was young.
Luke, on the other hand, heaved a sigh of relief. He stepped on the accelerator, and the pickup sped toward the concrete maze.
At that moment, the Destroyer had just finished acc.u.mulating power again, and was looking at Sif, preparing to heavily injure this most difficult opponent with one shot.
Thump! Thump!
There were two explosive sparks on the transparent s.h.i.+eld covering the Destroyer’s face. Bright yellow light suddenly flickered, and the beam’s launch was interrupted for one instant.
Bang! The laser beam brushed past Sif’s back and blasted a concrete block, creating a huge hole in it.
Loki was taken aback. “What the h.e.l.l?”
The Destroyer had been attacked by something, and it actually affected the light beam?
Although it was indeed easier to interrupt the light beam when it was powering up, that was only relative.
Without elite combat generals like Sif and the Warriors Three, who had special magic weapons from Asgard and powerful skills, there was no way to interrupt the light beam as it powered up.
Just like with the armor-piercing sh.e.l.l just now, the Destroyer’s head had only been moved a few centimeters, and the normal launch of the laser beam hadn’t been affected.
The Destroyer quickly turned its attention to… a pickup truck that had suddenly joined the battlefield.
Loki frowned. “Is — is this some kind of magic weapon? Or an intergalactic weapon?”
For a time, Asgard’s second prince had a lot of doubts about this modified Earth M242, commonly known as the Viper 25mm machine gun.
But he immediately dismissed his doubts.
No matter what kind of weapon it was, it was only a small hindrance. It was far inferior to the weapons of the Warriors Three and Sif.
As for the little fly stirring up trouble, he just needed to direct the Destroyer to launch a light beam, and the world would be peace- hm, it wasn’t peaceful yet?
Loki froze again.
Almost at the same moment that the Destroyer fired the laser beam, the pickup truck, which was not particularly fast, also swung around to put a concrete block between them.
The laser beam only blasted a deep hole in the concrete block. The pickup truck was still happily driving along the cement road outside.
Luke’s voice even rang out over the loudspeakers. “Take him down. What are you waiting for?”
That was right, the strange entrance of the young detective on the battlefield made everyone present feel extremely… out of sorts?
It was like an ant jumping out in the middle of a fight between humans to punch one in the face.
It was a very peculiar scene.
They weren’t discriminating against Earth, but it was the truth.
For the Warriors Three and Sif, who could easily knock a vehicle over with one punch, human combat strength was really similar to that of ants.
Loki was a little better only in that he had already started to feel out of sorts half a second earlier.
As the Destroyer fired at the pickup, the Warriors Three and Sif immediately came back to their senses at Luke’s reminder over the loudspeakers, and attacked again.
It was rare for an ant to upset things, but they definitely didn’t couldn’t count on the ant to bite a person to death; that would be much harder than one of them taking on the Destroyer single-handedly.
Loki, however, chuckled disdainfully. “The little bug is pretty lively,” he muttered.
The Destroyer ignored Luke’s pickup and the 25mm Viper in the back.
This thing was like a mosquito against the Destroyer.
Four against one became five against one.
It didn’t take more than thirty seconds, however, for everyone to sense that something was wrong.
Unexpectedly, the Destroyer never gained an absolute advantage again.
In these thirty seconds, both sides switched between attack and defense three times. The Destroyer missed various opportunities and was unable to injure any of the four friends.
And the reason for this was the rundown pickup which was circling around, and which would fire off shots from time to time.
The Viper which Luke was operating was always able to slightly disrupt the Destroyer’s long-range attack at the most opportune moment; the four friends had managed to escape the laser beam three times already thanks to the Viper.
Without the powerful long-range damage output of the laser beam, the Destroyer naturally couldn’t kill any of the four friends in an instant.
Loki wasn’t an idiot.
The second prince had learned to fight with his silly brother since he was young. However, his fighting style was more covert, as if he was always hiding in the dark.
But he often followed Thor to battle, and after hundreds or thousands of years, he had an eye for battle tactics.
The small bug on the periphery actually wasn’t a mosquito, but a flea which made a person itch, and always at the most crucial moment. It wasn’t strong, but it interfered tremendously with attacks.
“Then, I’ll kill you.” Loki’s eyes flashed with a cold light at being humiliated by an ordinary person.
No, no! This guy wasn’t ordinary.
An ordinary person didn’t have the qualifications to make a ‘G.o.d’ feel itchy, so this was an extraordinary human being.
Hence, it wouldn’t be over the top for him to make a move… As if!
Loki flew into a rage out of humiliation. The Destroyer waved its hands under his control, forcing the Warriors Three back. The Destroyer’s huge body turned nimbly, both hands covering its face as the light cannon started to power up once more.
Loki had learned his lesson. He wouldn’t give the little bug any chance to stop the laser beam.
Luke was alarmed.
With a combo of Mental Communication, Quick Reflex, and 40 Mental Strength, he now had a pretty acute ability to sense danger.
In the face of an attack or intent that was a strong threat to him, his brain would reflexively send out a warning.
In the face of imminent danger, Luke remained calm. The pickup made a sharp U-turn.
The Destroyer moved its hands away, and the beam shot out.
Bang! Cras.h.!.+
Concrete once again cracked and a huge hole was created. However, the tail end of the laser beam brushed past the tail end of the pickup as both shot in opposite directions.
Loki: …Are you kidding me? This ancient vehicle can actually be used like this?
He didn’t know that this thing could climb mountains and cross peaks, and even jump onto trains.
Paired with Luke’s Elementary Driving, while the modified car wasn’t fast, it was extremely agile.
Loki had clearly miscalculated with this attack, but he didn’t give up, and was going to send the laser sweeping back to catch up to the pickup.
However, Sif and Volstagg seized the moment to launch another powerful attack.
With a crunch, one of the Destroyer’s legs was swept up by the huge axe, and its body leaned back.
Sif’s strong and slender body leaped lightly, and she stabbed the most formidable “divine weapon” spear at the Destroyer’s face again with all her strength.
Puchi!
The tip of the spear, which glowed with golden light, pierced through the transparent s.h.i.+eld like jello, and pinned the Destroyer to the ground a second time.
