Chapter 444: Ma Ze Fak – Unerring Kill – Seize

The size and scale of the aerospace carrier are almost the same as those of a traditional sea‑borne carrier, about three hundred fifty meters.

However, somewhere above the S. H. I. E. L. D. aerospace carrier, an unknown "supercarrier" seven kilometers long and three kilometers wide has appeared!

This vessel, classified by S. H. I. E. L. D. as a "supercarrier," is the flagship of the Man‑Eating Shark Corps, the Bloody Shark.

At present, near Manhattan are docked a Man‑Eating Shark Achilles‑class and a Paris‑class; this side is the Hera‑class Bloody Shark, and in low Earth orbit of Earth‑05 only the last Achilles‑class remains for surveillance.

But that is already enough in the eyes of the Man‑Eating Sharks.

Standing on the aerospace carrier's flight deck, tossing a rocket launcher aside, and looking up as the hull's ventral gate opened, emitting a cyan‑blue beam that forced their carrier inward, Nick Fury, with a rap‑like timbre, sighed:

"Ma Ze Fak…?!"

While sighing, Fury's headset suddenly "blasted".

In the comms, aerospace carrier crew and agents shouted "Sir! Emergency!" "Sir! We've lost control!" while council executives offered excuses and asked how to respond.

But Fury has no time or mind for that, as the aerospace mothership has fully entered the hull, and the Bloody Shark closed the gate, making the mothership vanish from the area.

————————

…

Meanwhile.

Over thirty veteran Man‑Eating Sharks piloting Centurion II gathered above Stark Tower, deploying Spiritual Energy shields and beam matrices, and using heavy‑caliber cannons to fully block the portal.

This move prevented the Zetarian reinforcements from passing the portal, leaving those already through the portal—who have reached New York's surface and sky—isolated.

In fact, the Man‑Eating Shark Corps had long detected the Zetarian mothership, and their low‑intelligence AI deduced that destroying the mothership would swiftly dismantle the Zetarians.

However, "once the bow is drawn, there's no arrow to turn back."

The Sharks don't want to finish early; since they're involved, they find pleasure in slaughtering the clueless Zetarians as long as no innocent civilians are harmed.

As for guaranteeing zero casualties, it's simple: the Achilles‑class that first descended over Manhattan releases a pulse scan while also deploying swarms of small octopus‑shaped robots that lock onto every New York gathering point.

The robots first ensure civilian safety; then the Achilles‑class shares data, and the air fleet and support troops adjust deployments according to the evolving situation.

In contrast, the "Carefree Rear" Sharks will bring fear, death, and despair to the Zetarians, as well as one of the instigators of this war—

Loki Odinson.

At this moment.

Every inch of Manhattan, the "Steel Jungle," bears a splash of green—the famed Central Park that every traveler must check in at…

"Boom! Boom!"

Above the park, the Man‑Eating Shark flight formation is dealing with the last Zetarian aircraft and the leviathan‑sized living battleship.

Loki, wearing a bull‑horn‑shaped golden helmet, a matching golden armor, a dark‑green cloak, and a golden staff that emits a faint blue glow, his face showing slight panic and worry, is aboard one of the motor‑boat aircraft.

Soon, the craft protecting him is completely destroyed by the Sharks, and the vehicle he rides is shot down, hurling his body from a hundred meters up straight toward the ground.

"Boom~!"

It finally emits a muffled thud; Loki lands in Central Park, flipping the grass and creating a shallow pit.

Though outwardly unhurt and likely with little internal damage, his expression is agonized; he angrily pounds the ground with his left hand and shouts:

"Why?! Why does my plan always fail?! I only want to prove I can conquer a world! That I can govern a world!"

From his words, it seems the Loki who fell from a hundred meters sustained little physical harm but suffered severe mental and spiritual trauma, hard to accept for a while.

After all, he commanded an army and successfully opened a portal; everything proceeded orderly as planned, yet it was undermined from within, and the self‑styled Avengers rallied again.

Of course, that alone doesn't drive him to despair; the real despair comes from the sudden onslaught that not only attacks them but also wipes out the Man‑Eating Shark Corps that dealt with the Avengers.

The situation shifts abruptly, and with his forces dwindling, Loki Odinson grows increasingly impotent and enraged.

"Thud, thud."

The sound of magnetic boots on the grass reaches his ears, finally silencing Loki, making him more alert; he steadies his staff with his right hand and staggers out of the pit.

When he stands, he happens to see Helusi, draped in beast hide, clad in giant python scales, with massive claws on his left hand, already ten meters ahead.

!!!

Seeing Helusi's features clearly, especially his 4.55‑meter height, leaves the 1.9‑meter Loki stunned, and he also senses an invisible, overwhelming pressure and suffocation emanating from Helusi.

What terrifies Loki even more is that, upon seeing Helusi, he suddenly feels an urge to kneel outright.

Such a powerful, overbearing aura is something his father, who never admits it yet craves the other's approval, once experienced…

Helusi is definitely on the same level as his father, an equal!

Realizing this, Loki is utterly despondent.

Helusi, suppressing his Spiritual Energy, walks slowly to a short distance ahead of Loki, looking down from above, and asks first:

"I suppose you're the feeble, disorderly rag‑tag commander, right?"

"…" Loki parts his mouth slightly, at a loss for what to say, clearly frightened by Helusi.

"Hmm…" Helusi is speechless, evidently surprised that even with his Spiritual Energy suppressed, Loki still cannot answer properly.

However, the data gathered by the Man‑Eating Shark Corps conclusively shows Loki Odinson is the Zetarian commander, so Loki must answer for the invasion of Earth‑05 that caused tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of human casualties.

Even though Helusi is a year shy of adulthood, the teachings, knowledge, and experience he received from his father tell him this "little dwarf" deserves a true judgment.

Thus…

"Boom!!" Helusi unleashes Spiritual Energy outright.

By doing so, Helusi uses Spiritual Energy to control Loki's body, ensuring Loki cannot escape using spell‑like, Spiritual Energy techniques; of course, this caution is inherited from his father.

Then Helusi slightly raises his left hand.

"Pip~! Pak~" At the moment he fills his Spiritual Energy claws, the five finger‑like blades begin to flicker with faint golden Spiritual Energy lightning.

Then…

"Whoosh~!" the whoosh of the claws slicing through air.

"Clang!" the metallic‑like flesh is easily cut by the claws saturated with pure Spiritual Energy.

"Snap~! Snap~!" chunks of flesh fall onto the grass.

Only saw…

It should be said that in Loki's eyes at the moment of death, he could not see Helusi swing a Spiritual Energy claw at all; he only felt a surge of airflow and a chill in his body, and the next second, he was already sliced into several pieces by the sharp claws, dying beyond death.

It is indeed the god of deceit and deception; in the 05 universe it possesses impressive magical skills, and even its half‑brother, who nonetheless treats it as a younger brother, the "Thunder God" Thor, is often fooled by its tricks.

But those are not enough to show before Helusi; if Loki's identity as a Zitarian commander and Helusi's perception that the staff in Loki's hand contains immense energy were not known, he might have stayed at a distance, handing it to Taibelos or the shark veteran to earn the credit for killing Loki.

Mainly, Loki's combat power is completely lacking.

Seeing Loki's gaze scattered, pupils dilated, utterly lifeless, Helusi finally ceased releasing Spiritual Energy, and his Spiritual Energy claw also returned to tranquility.

Turning his gaze to the staff that had rolled to his feet, Helusi extended his right hand, then his index finger and thumb, bent down and pinched it up.

He straightened up, raised the staff to his eyes and examined it for a moment.

Immediately, Helusi narrowed his eyes in thought, but soon he opened them as if uncovering a mystery, and at the same time he grasped the head of the staff with his right hand and gave it a slight squeeze…

A metallic twist sounded "Creak~!" and a glass shatter rang "Clack~!".

When Helusi tossed the excess part of the staff away and spread his palm, a bright, alluring yellow light formed an irregular spherical "gem" that lay at the center of his palm.

Gem?

Helusi could perceive that the gem in his palm contained extremely strong energy, seemingly capable of influencing a creature's mind and spirit, but…

If he released Spiritual Energy, he could likewise control mortal minds; he simply does not like to do so.

Moreover, Helusi sensed the gem continuously emitting radiation outward; it is an extremely dangerous yet highly valuable anomalous item.

At this moment, the offspring of the human lord, for some reason, recalled the words the shark camp leader once told him: "Arrive a second early, and you can snatch the good stuff a second before the brother camp does."

It feels as if, after hearing that from Taibelos, the words will never leave his mind…

Forget it.

Helusi does not dwell on it; he stores the unknown gem inside the built‑in compartment at his side.

But at that very moment…

"Loki! No!!!" A roar mixed with extreme sorrow and anger echoed through the sky.

?

Helusi looked up at the sound and saw a figure clad in silver‑scaled armor, a bright red cloak, golden long hair, handsome and rugged, swinging a hammer with his right hand, charging "quickly" toward his position.

To mortals it seemed "fast", but Helusi stepped back a stride and easily evaded the impact.

"Boom—!!!"

The opponent's momentum and force remained, and when it met the ground ten meters behind Helusi, it created a deep pit; at the same time, dark clouds gathered, lightning flashed, and jagged bolts rained down like a storm.

"Oh?"

Helusi glanced at the surrounding lightning and couldn't help but sigh, as if praising the impressive scene.

Yet even if those bolts struck his head or body, they could not inflict effective damage on him.

To be honest, unless they deliberately self‑harm, once they truly mature, almost nothing in the material universe can pierce or penetrate him or the skins of his OriginalBody brothers.

After the sigh.

Helusi finally turned completely, focusing his attention on the "person" who emerged from the deep pit, also about two meters six centimeters shorter than him.

Wielding a silver hammer, clad in silver armor, commanding thunder, and calling the already slain Loki his brother, only the "Thunder God" Thor Odinson fits.

His eyes bloodshot, face mournful, unable to accept Loki's death, Thor paid no mind to Helusi's exaggerated height, swung his beloved hammer "Mjölnir" again, ready to continue his attack on Helusi.

Without Spiritual Perception, merely by seeing Thor's grief‑stricken demeanor, Helusi guessed that Loki and Thor were brothers, and Thor was likely the elder.

Helusi further inferred from Loki's previous impotent roar that Loki might have launched this invasion war to prove something to his older brother, perhaps even to his parents.

At first, Helusi did not intend to strike Thor, since Thor had been battling the Zitarian forces and, whenever conditions allowed, tried to avoid accidental injury or killing of humans.

But after discerning the relationship between Loki and Thor, he had to act.

Moreover, even if Helusi had known this in advance, he would still judge Loki and kill without hesitation.

Then, Helusi used his newly freed right hand to take down the Worldbreaker Warhammer attached to his back, and, like his father, too lazy to chatter before battle, he slammed it at Thor, whose eyes showed surprise and doubt, as if asking, "Shouldn't we exchange harsh words before the fight?"

"Boom—!" A muffled thud signified the warhammer striking Thor successfully.

Thor was forced into a lingering afterimage, vanished from the scene, rampaged through the trees of Central Park, and finally crashed straight into a hundred‑meter‑tall building.

Thor's favorite weapon, also one of the artifacts the self‑proclaimed Asgardian gods call, the Mjölnir, lay abandoned at the site, placed before Helusi.

Another good thing snatched?

Helusi's mind instantly entertained the thought of claiming Mjölnir as his own; thus, whether he admits it or not, he is gradually aligning with the style of the shark camp.
