It should be coming soon, right?
Noticing this situation, Lucas secretly became vigilant, further concealing his aura. He feigned a lack of energy, giving Laufey some room to retaliate.
If he displayed too much combat power, he might scare away the Gods of the World Tree.
This fierce battle was a ploy to attract the attention of the Gods of the World Tree, to draw them into interfering and push for Ragnarok.
Odin would then seize the opportunity to find the threads of fate.
The current situation suggested that the Asgardian side might collapse. This was not in the interest of the Gods of the World Tree.
The Ragnarok they desired was not just the fall of the Asgardians, but also the mutual destruction of both gods and giants.
To put it simply, they wanted them all.
To achieve this goal, they would most likely secretly assist Asgard.
Suddenly, an invisible ripple spread out.
Except for Lucas, no one present noticed it.
"Kill! For Asgard!"
In the chaotic melee between Asgard and the Four Realms allied army, an Asgardian warrior suddenly surged forward, decapitated his opponent with a single swing, and shouted aloud.
"For Asgard!"
The remaining two dozen Asgardian elites were inspired, their morale soaring, and they all unleashed a combat power slightly greater than usual.
Although it was only a slight increase in morale and combat power, it was still enough to break the balance, instantly crushing the Four Realms allied mixed squad.
Before Sif and the others' battle collapsed, the Asgardian elites had already annihilated the mixed squad and reinforced Sif and her companions.
The heavily wounded Hogun was able to catch his breath, and with the help of an Asgardian elite, he withdrew to the side to treat his wounds before rejoining the battle.
After these Asgardian elites joined the battle, the Angel Queen still had the upper hand, steadily causing casualties step by step. However, she could no longer harvest the lives of Asgardian warriors like mowing grass, as she had done during the melee.
This bought Thor and Loki more time.
As long as they could defeat their opponents despite being at a disadvantage before Sif and the others were defeated, they could reverse Asgard's unfavorable situation.
"Director of S.W.O.R.D., seeing is believing. This is the effect of morale. These seemingly peripheral soldiers became the crucial force that swayed the battle at a critical moment."
Xian Zheng felt a deep impression upon witnessing this scene.
"The victor has not yet been decided, Director of S.P.E.A.R." Abigail replied indifferently.
"Heh."
Xian Zheng merely chuckled, but Abigail's face instantly fell, becoming unsightly.
The Asgardian squad, relying on a burst of morale, quickly dealt with their opponents, compensating for the lack of high-end combat power.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, this was an undeniable fact.
He could be stubborn, but he couldn't deceive himself.
...
"Hahahaha, I finally waited for your magic to run out! Now, it's my turn!"
Laufey let out a long howl, displaying the might of the Frost Giant King. He used the power of the casket of ancient winters to continuously create ice spikes, forcing Lucas to dodge and weave with nowhere to land.
He was free of gloom, radiant, and full of vigor. It was just a pity that the large dark circles under his right eye ruined his invincible posture.
"You're celebrating too early, Laufey."
Lucas leaped high and floated in the air, avoiding the ice spikes constantly emerging from below. At the same time, he spread his arms as if to embrace something.
"Oh Light, please grant me strength!"
Sparks flickered in the sky, and a portal opened. On the other side of the portal, a giant fireball suddenly shone, radiating brilliant light.
Laufey was greatly alarmed, staring intently at Lucas, disbelief in his eyes. "This is your home, how dare you use that move here?"
Without time to think further, Laufey fully activated the power of the casket of ancient winters, condensing an ice shield in front of him. The ice shields stacked one after another, protecting Laufey tightly in the center like a turtle shell.
However, the light-speed high-energy pulse cannon strike Laufey had anticipated did not arrive.
The sun's energy that emerged from the portal did not directly attack Laufey, but instead flowed into Lucas's body. In Laufey's perception, Lucas's energy fluctuations surged with the influx of the sun's energy, climbing steadily. His depleted energy was replenished, quickly returning to its initial full state.
"Don't you know I wouldn't casually use that move on Earth, so why are you still so scared?" Lucas teased.
His gaze shifted to Sindr, who was fiercely battling Loki. At this moment, she had already taken the initiative.
"You damn bug, all you do is run, run, run!"
Sindr, fighting Loki, was very irritated at this moment.
Although her strength surpassed Loki's, Loki used illusions and portals to make her spin in circles, and nine out of ten of her attacks would miss. When she finally managed to hit him once, a green light would flash around Loki, and his injuries would inexplicably disappear.
"However, this is as far as it goes." Sindr sneered.
As Loki constantly avoided battle, she was also taking the opportunity to set up a magic array. Now that the magic array was formed, she would ensure Loki had nowhere to escape.
With Sindr at the center, five fireballs suddenly appeared in the distance. The five fireballs each shot out lines of fire, connecting with the other four fireballs.
In an instant, a huge five-pointed star magic array was formed. The moment the magic array formed, fierce fire erupted from the ground, soaring into the sky.
As long as one was within the magic array, there was no escaping.
Seeing this, Loki quickly opened a portal to get away from the area, but he was still a beat too late.
Flames surged through the portal, coiling around Loki like a fire snake.
Loki quickly closed the portal, cutting off the source of the flames. But the flames on him still burned fiercely, scorching him through his defensive magic.
A green light emanated from Loki, trying to revert his state to before he was entangled by the fire snake.
Ineffective.
Loki plunged into a block of ice, hoping the cold would extinguish the flames.
Ineffective.
The flames clung to him like maggots to bone.
Loki tried various methods, but he couldn't extinguish them.
"Laufey, since you like to be a coward, then stay in there, I'm going to play with your teammate."
Lucas's figure ascended again, reaching above the clouds, then plummeted downwards.
The sun's energy exploded, combined with gravitational acceleration, Lucas's speed instantly broke the sound barrier and continued to climb.
Intense friction generated heat, Lucas's clothes ignited, and his entire body glowed red.
From afar, he looked like a meteor falling from the sky.
He slammed fiercely into Sindr, who was focused on controlling the magic array.
Lucas, carrying immense power, collided with Sindr, using her as a cushion to smash into the ice surface.
Rumble!!!
Ice shards flew everywhere, accompanied by sparks soaring into the sky. The ice shards liquefied and vaporized in mid-air. Some turned into a fine drizzle and fell, while others diffused as water vapor.
For a time, outsiders couldn't see what was happening inside, only hearing continuous roars.
In the mist, Lucas pressed one hand on Sindr's neck. After a moment's thought, he punched her left eye, giving her a dark circle identical to Laufey's.
"Ah!"
The intense pain awakened Sindr from her dazed state after being struck.
Discovering her predicament, Sindr concentrated energy towards her chest, intending to unleash an energy burst to force Lucas back.
Lucas saw her every move clearly, and raised his knee, delivering a fierce blow to her abdomen.
Although Lucas restrained himself, not unleashing overly powerful force, the knee strike to Sindr's abdomen still easily dispersed the energy she had painstakingly gathered.
"Damn it!"
Finding it difficult to buy time to gather power for a burst, Sindr used both her hands and feet.
Her hands turned into two fiery fists, pounding Lucas's abdomen and chest.
Her feet, in turn, used her knees to strike Lucas's back.
It was like a street brawl.
Lucas applied a layer of magic protection to himself and ignored Sindr's attacks. He just kept increasing the pressure from his left hand, tightly gripping Sindr's neck, with enough force to prevent her from breaking free.
At the same time, his right hand continuously struck her heart.
Sindr's throat was tightly constricted, her breathing became difficult, and her brain was deprived of oxygen. Her heart was being continuously struck, and her blood circulation also began to suffer.
Gradually, her struggles weakened, and she was about to be choked unconscious by Lucas.
