Chapter 416 - 414 Fierce Like A Tiger, 0.5 Damage.
Mjolnir was a legendary weapon of Asgard.
Its first owner wasn't Thor.
But Odin's eldest daughter, the imprisoned goddess of death, Hela.
As everyone knew, Asgard's family relationship was bad and complicated.
Because of the father-daughter discord, disagreement, and deeper reasons…
Odin, in a fit of rage, deprived her of the right to use Mjolnir and banished Hela to the underworld.
When Thor was born, the God-King gave this hammer as a gift to his eldest son, the future King.
Mjolnir was crafted from a nugget of Uru, using the core of a dying star and Odin's magical blessing attached to it.
It was indestructible, with amazing qualities.
It could also manipulate the weather, summon storms and use magic to deal damage.
Ever since he got Mjolnir, it had been Thor's favorite weapon.
"Let me take care of this guy."
Thor was quite confident and couldn't wait to show his talents.
Mjolnir was bursting with light as it launched into the air. Like a solid cannonball, it directly slammed towards the Absorbing Man.
"Thor, don't let him touch … your hammer!"
Hearing this, the God of Thunder couldn't help but look at Iron Man, who was unleashing the 'Gustav Cannon' with a puzzled look.
'That's my own hammer. What's wrong?'
"Destroy!"
The Absorbing Man growled like beasts. The force field launched by the divine power of fear suddenly shrank inward.
The energy cannon that could level half of the city went in unhindered and took away half of the Absorbing Man's body while it flew upwards into the air.
The sky seemed to have been pierced, and the accumulated dark clouds tore open a big hole, leaving a visible wound-like hole in the clouds.
The Absorbing Man's steel-like body melted like ice cream.
The black blood, sticky like oil, was vaporized by the high temperature before it hit the ground.
At such a great risk, the Absorbing Man, armed with the Hammer of Greithoth, took the initiative to touch Thor's Mjolnir.
Bang!
The thunder hammer, wrapped in terrible power, struck him in the chest.
Rumble! Smash!
The Absorbing Man flew backward violently. His body seemed to break apart, sending out a spatter of blood.
However, Thor felt something was wrong.
Mjolnir didn't completely penetrate the flesh, as if it was embedded in the body of the opponent and couldn't be pulled out.
A mass of green flame wrapped around the hammer. No matter how it burst with electricity, it couldn't break free.
Zi Zi! Zi Zi Zi!
The Absorbing Man could fully understand what it was like being burned on the inside and still tender on the outside.
The dazzling electricity roared with anger on the remaining half of his body.
His flesh and blood were like charred pieces of charcoal, brittle and vulnerable to completely crumbling at any moment.
But the Absorbing Man clenched his teeth and didn't move.
All of his mental capacity and will were controlled by the hammer of fear.
Boom!
Thor opened his palm, trying to call Mjolnir back.
From the dark clouds above, dazzling lightning bolts bombarded the Absorbing Man.
The Hammer of Greithoth seemed to be conscious.
Not to be outdone, it swept out a circle of green flame and fought back.
"Danger!"
Thor's intuition alerted him.
He first pulled Loki next to him and quickly dodged away.
"It's some kind of magic that can petrify people! As long as any flesh and blood body touches it, they would immediately turn into stone!"
Iron Man promptly explained.
"You shouldn't have slammed your hammer into him. This guy absorbs the material he touches and mimics it."
After Tony Stark shot the 'Gustav Cannon', the iron battle suit's energy was depleted, and he could no longer participate in the battle.
He could only provide some useful information to help Thor win.
Crack, crack!
As Iron Man's words fell, the surface of Absorbing Man's body underwent dramatic changes.
The melted half of his body slowly grew silvery flesh, like hard armor wrapping around the throbbing Mjolnir.
The muscles on his body, like a balloon, were constantly expanding.
Like steel bars, they twisted tightly into muscles.
They looked like they were full of power and seemed highly exaggerated.
Like 'Kinnikuman' coming straight out of the comics!
The original glossy black metallic luster changed to a conspicuous silvery-white shine.
Roar!
The Absorbing Man loudly roared. Sound waves shook the air and set off obvious ripples, visible to the naked eye.
"He absorbed my hammer?"
Thor was surprised and somewhat in disbelief.
But that Uru metal, a specialty of Asgard.
Its hardness and enchantment effect…
Among the Nine Realms, it was the best!
"He's not that powerful. Perhaps the Serpent, Cul's hammer, has strengthened his ability to absorb!"
Iron Man speculated.
"What do we do now? Can you beat this monster without your hammer?"
Tony Stark meant that if Thor couldn't fight, they should retreat for now.
They would have a showdown with this guy later on.
"Uh, no, Mjolnir…"
Thor hesitated. Without his hammer, he felt like a 50%-similar knockoff.
It was difficult for him to display his full combat powers.
The guy who absorbed the Uru metal, on the contrary, would get stronger and stronger.
In this situation, he wasn't optimistic.
"Retreat. Thor, get the hammer back later."
Loki tugged her brother's cloak. That metal monster didn't look easy to deal with.
She knew too well that even though Thor was called the God of Thunder but, he was actually the God of Hammer.
Without Mjolnir, his combat power would be less than 30 or 40%.
If they stayed here, they would only be passively beaten.
"No! I'm here to save Earth. How can I run away?"
Thor righteously refused, and his tone lowered to a whisper, "Mjolnir is my partner. I can't leave her here, in the hands of that damn bastard."
Loki helplessly shrugged, expressing her speechlessness.
Her brother had this peculiar hobby. She couldn't do anything about it.
"Can your fists breakthrough Uru metal? You can't even break the defense. How are you going to fight him?"
Loki sneered.
This universe's Thor hadn't been sufficiently trained, relying too much on Mjolnir.
Unlike the chubby God of Thunder, after the hammer was crushed by Hela, he awakened the power of thunder in his body.
"Destroy!"
The Absorbing Man seemed to have thought of the same thing. His silvery-white metallic body released a heavy momentum.
Holding the Hammer of Greithoth, he took an arrogant step forward.
Like a rhinoceros in a frenzy, he rammed straight at them.
"Without Mjolnir, I'm still the most powerful warrior in Asgard."
Thor rubbed his hands together. As if he was a matador, his eyes fixed on his opponent.
As for Loki and Iron Man, whose energy was already depleted…
They had already stepped aside and waited for the God of Thunder to make his move.
"Come on! I've defeated a Frost Giant with my bare hands, tamed a fierce wyvern, and hunted …"
Thor shouted, boosting his morale.
Bang!
The Hammer of Greithoth sent out a strong gale. Like hitting a baseball ball, it sent Thor flying.
The latter hit the ground heavily. His legs and feet twitched and then stopped moving.
"Such a weak God."
The Absorbing Man said in a deep voice.
He stopped and looked at Loki and Iron Man, who had ducked to one side.
"Isn't your father Odin? Ask him to come to the rescue!"
Iron Man poked Loki on the shoulder. He didn't want to be a stone statue.
"Odin has been beaten by Earth's Sorcerer Supreme … He's paralyzed in bed. He can't come."
Loki grimaced. She had already reminded Thor, the idiot, to retreat if he couldn't fight. Now, he was dragging her into trouble.
She pulled out two enchanted daggers from her waist. With a swish, she flung towards the Absorbing Man's steel body, sending out a few sparks.
Then, conjuring magic with one hand, she created several illusions.
Don't judge Asgard's third Princess from her delicate appearance. In fact, she was proficient in magic, and her combat abilities weren't weak.
It's just that she had always been hidden under Thor's aura and seemed unremarkable.
Her doppelgangers scattered in all directions, and their daggers slashed at the opponent.
But it was of no use.
Loki's attacks were as fierce as a tiger, but the damage was only 0.5.
Because of the size and strength gap, it didn't look like an assassination raid but rather like giving someone a pedicure.
When the dagger was slashing down, it only resulted in silver sparks, not even leaving a wound.
