What did you drop again?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“New Mexico State?” Thor was equally confused. “Dropped something? What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, wait… it’s standing up… damn it, what is that? How is it…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey? Hill? What’s going on? What is it?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Thor still held the phone, a portal opened in the center of the room; Strange stepped out and said: “Your Asgard has dropped a superweapon on Earth. You must deal with it. Come with me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Thor could ask for details, Strange pulled him into the portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they arrived in New Mexico State, Thor clutched his stomach and said: “Your Kamar-Taj portals are always so… nauseating…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He straightened up and looked south toward a hill, where a massive robot loomed; then car engines roared as Hill and Steve stepped out of a vehicle, both raising their eyes to the colossal figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a mechanical monster five to six hundred meters tall, resembling a Viking legend’s Einherjar, entirely black, wreathed in divine energy, gleaming with metallic luster, its eyes glowing red, and moving with uncanny agility—nothing like a mere machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of light appeared beside Thor; the Warriors Three and Sif arrived; seeing Strange holding Thor, they glared angrily: “Thor! How did you get here? Leave at once! Loki’s target may be you—you must…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait—Loki is controlling the Destroyer!” Hogan shouted. “He’s inside the Destroyer…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How dare he commit such sacrilege!” Volstagg roared. “That is the Allfather’s chariot!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had he spoken than a beam of destructive red light swept toward them; the Warriors Three dodged nimbly, Strange teleported Thor away; upon landing, Thor was dizzy again, and when he finally regained his senses, he saw Loki’s figure clearly inside the Destroyer’s cockpit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Loki?? What are you doing?! Stop!!” Thor shouted at the Destroyer, but the giant machine ignored him entirely, relentlessly firing searing beams from its eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This mighty Asgardian weapon lived up to its name; the destructive rays it emitted carried immense power, leaving deep, charred trenches in the ground with every sweep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>fantuantanshu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it advanced with heavy steps, its colossal silhouette pressed down with overwhelming force; each step triggered tremors like earthquakes; Sif and the Warriors Three drew their weapons, divine energy flaring in their hands, readying for battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thor, however, was powerless now—a mere mortal—capable only of dodging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Destroyer’s footsteps kicked up clouds of dust; its searing beams carved through the earth; under Loki’s control, the Destroyer was not only devastatingly powerful but also precise; the Warriors Three prepared to counterattack; Fandral raised his sword first: “Attack its right leg!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His enchanted blade swung, sending a crescent-shaped arc of energy straight into the Destroyer’s right leg—but it instantly dissolved within the leg’s protective shield, leaving not a single mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahh!!” Master Fandral screamed in agony; the Destroyer seized the instant his attack ended and fired a destructive beam at him; the searing light struck his right arm, melting it instantly; Thor’s eyes bulged in horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sif was shaken by a shockwave, coughing twice; she grabbed Thor’s arm and pulled him back: “This won’t work—we can’t defeat him alone. Thor, go retrieve your weapon…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Hill checked her watch and muttered: “Why haven’t they arrived yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strange opened a portal and said: “I’ll go see what’s happening on their end.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The portal vanished; Strange appeared in Stark Tower’s conference room, exited the room, took the elevator upstairs, and entered Stark Tower’s lab, where he heard Shearer and Stark arguing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“High-power, high-power—you’re obsessed with high-power! Can’t you just twist your lightbulb?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had clearly been arguing for a long time; Shearer leaned against the lab bench: “Fine—if this method won’t convince you, I’ll try another—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you even have the technical skill to build the cryogenic nuclear bomb I need?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter, standing beside Stark, instinctively stepped back; just as Stark raised his fist, Strange entered and said: “A colossal Asgardian mecha has landed in New Mexico State. They call it the ‘Destroyer.’ The few Asgardians currently on Earth can’t handle it…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stark, Peter, and Connors all looked up at Shearer; Shearer said: “Why are you looking at me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whenever something unnatural happens on Earth, we know who’s behind it…” Stark turned toward the lab bench, scanning documents as he spoke: “That cryogenic nuclear bomb you had me make—was it meant for this thing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Shearer could answer, Stark continued: “But that’s still a bad idea. If your goal was always to destroy it, why didn’t you tell me sooner? I could’ve designed a Destroyer-counter armor…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You may see Asgard as a magical civilization, but its technological level is also extremely advanced—far surpassing humanity.” Shearer glanced at Strange, who added: “Indeed. Though Asgardian architecture and clothing resemble Vikings, their technology is highly advanced; most objects in Asgard are automated, powered not by electricity but by divine energy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Especially the Rainbow Bridge,” Strange emphasized. “I’ve never experienced it up close, but it’s likely the kind of planet-destroying weapon common in human sci-fi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Planet-destroying weapon? Where do they get their energy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Divine energy is a peculiar force,” Strange frowned. “I don’t know its origin, but I’ve heard it may be tied to Yggdrasil.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough digressions,” Shearer interrupted. “I need the cryogenic nuclear bomb—specifically to deal with the Destroyer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Though it’s likely been unused for ages, it unquestionably represented the pinnacle of Asgardian technology.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shearer had full confidence in the Destroyer’s power, because in one comic version, Odin once piloted the Destroyer to confront the Celestials—not just one, but a whole group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it was never explicitly stated that the Destroyer defeated the Celestials, the fact that Odin chose to pilot it against such overwhelming foes proves he had absolute faith in its strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to Stark: “I believe you might develop a superweapon capable of defeating the Destroyer—but if its body contains advanced Asgardian technology, what if any damage…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough,” Stark cut him off, turning to Connors: “Let’s figure out how to make the cryogenic bomb. Pay attention to preservation—try not to damage a single part. Freeze it intact…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Connors approached Shearer: “You gave me a high-power cryogenic generator before, saying it could instantly freeze a vast area. You asked if I could adapt it into a potent single-target attack—weren’t you already planning for this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stark also looked at Shearer: “And another question—if we freeze it and haul it away, won’t the Asgardians object?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t be absurd. This thing fell from the sky. What does it have to do with Asgard? It’s nature’s gift.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Makes sense.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1345,"2026-06-20T16:39:20.726Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d256e85aa9be17080590037c8eba3d7a120b1cbc7e5bcf67dd0488cc63b7bfe0","my-life-as-a-mental-mentor-in-marvel-chapter-239","my-life-as-a-mental-mentor-in-marvel-chapter-237",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-life-as-a-mental-mentor-in-marvel-cover.jpg"]
