Chapter 232: C200
Colson's face changed slightly, and he immediately pressed the communicator.
"Stop the attack!"
"Barton!"
"Stop the attack!"
"The opponent is not an enemy!"
After several commands, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents stopped.
Boom!
Hawkeye happened to bump into Vostag. His whole body turned red, and the two sharp-edged scimitars in his hands transformed into bows and arrows.
Heat surged as he swung them.
In Anton's vision, Hawkeye at this moment was very different from the one he remembered. The Extremis Virus had indeed brought extraordinary changes to him.
Whoosh!
After the collision ended, Hawkeye, having received Coulson's order, took a few steps back.
He glanced at Coulson and Anton, not far away, before putting away the machete-turned-bow and staring coldly at Vostag, as if warning the other party not to move.
"Okay! It's a great game!"
Vostag laughed loudly. "Human, you are a great warrior."
"You're good too," Hawkeye replied lightly.
At this point, Coulson and Anton stepped forward and saw Sif, Thor, and the others in front of them.
Sif took the lead and explained, "We are not malicious. We just want to take Thor away."
Through the battle between Vostag and Hawkeye, the Asgardians had realized that humans today were different from humans thousands of years ago.
Now, humans had the power to fight the Asgardians. Asgardians could no longer look down on mortals with such superiority.
"I already know," Coulson said, looking at Thor. "I know Asgard has no malice toward Earth, but the reason we imprisoned you wasn't to restrict you. I hope you understand."
"I see." Thor smiled. "You just did what you had to do."
"Then Anton…"
Coulson then thought to ask the key question: "What is the real crisis you're talking about?"
"Of course…"
Anton was just about to answer when—
Boom!
The sky above them suddenly darkened. Black clouds gathered overhead, thunder rumbled, and the sun was hidden by the clouds. Horrible energy fluctuations converged, shocking everyone.
"Sir, the energy index has risen sharply. Something is coming!"
Someone reported immediately.
"Damn it!"
Anton didn't need to say anything; Coulson already understood that this was the "real crisis" Anton had been referring to.
Hawkeye stared at the black sky above, frowning with an ominous premonition.
"What is it?"
Thor and the others' expressions shifted accordingly. They were too familiar with this kind of phenomenon. It was the precursor to the opening of a space channel.
Bifrost!
Something was about to emerge from the other end of the bifrost. It had to be sent by Loki.
Boom!
Immediately, a beam of light hit the ground near the crater stronghold, sending a massive shockwave that sent sand and rocks flying.
When the energy beam dissipated, a huge magic circle appeared.
The figure stepping out of the circle was a massive robot, nearly five meters tall.
To Coulson and the others, this was just a robot.
To Thor and the other Asgardians, this was the Destroyer, a weapon of ultimate destruction made by Odin that could easily annihilate a city.
Obviously, this ultimate weapon was now following Loki's orders to erase everything.
"Loki!"
Thor was stunned. "Why? Why would you do this?"
"It's the Destroyer!"
Sif's face changed drastically. "Damn it! Fandral, Vostag, Hogan, we need to stop the Destroyer from moving!"
"You attract attention. I'll attack!"
After quickly making a plan, the Asgardian four-man team dispersed. They knew that with the Destroyer's appearance, they couldn't afford to hesitate, so they took the initiative to face the crisis head-on.
Hawkeye saw this and understood why Coulson had asked him and the others to stop.
He followed Sif and the others toward the Destroyer, and together with the Asgardian quartet, they formed a new, unified team.
Everyone was brave, skilled in combat, and knew what each other was thinking.
Hawkeye understood that the large figure came from another world—Asgard. Therefore, it must be the Asgardian quartet.
He knew the Destroyer's weakness better than anyone else, so he decided to step up and contain it.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he rushed toward the Destroyer, picked up the used arrows scattered on the ground from the earlier battle, and reused them.
Whoosh!
The heated arrow struck the Destroyer's head, piercing it.
"Success?"
Hawkeye's heart leapt with joy, but the next moment, his expression changed drastically.
The Destroyer's head ignited with an unusual flame, melting the arrows he shot into its body.
At the same time, the Destroyer's face emitted a massive high-temperature beam, instantly targeting Hawkeye, who was standing nearby.
Boom!!
Hawkeye narrowly dodged, but the ground beneath his feet was burned into magma by the beam. The air twisted, and the smell of burnt material filled the atmosphere.
Gudong!!!
The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents around them were slightly frightened. They had never encountered such a terrifying robot.
"I'm afraid Stark's armor couldn't match this thing," Coulson muttered.
At that moment, the Asgardian quartet in front of him finally made a move.
Sif used her javelin to pierce the Destroyer, and the remaining three warriors—Vostag, Fandral, and Hogan—wielded their weapons, each aiming for the Destroyer's legs.
But the Destroyer shook violently, and a high-temperature beam shot from its face, forcing the Asgardian group to retreat.
The Asgardian quartet and Hawkeye's team were easily overpowered, with no means to fight back.
"What the hell is this?!"
Coulson exclaimed.
"It's called the Destroyer, and it's the ultimate weapon made by my father," Thor sighed.
"Your father?"
Coulson asked. "King Odin?"
"Yes," Thor confirmed.
"What do we do to defeat it?"
"With the power of Sif and the others, even with the archer's skills, it's impossible to defeat the Destroyer," Thor said, looking at the machine.
"There's only one way to end this…" He stepped forward. "And that is to let me go."
"You?"
Coulson hesitated. "But didn't you lose your powers and become mortal?"
Seeing Thor step forward toward the Destroyer, Coulson suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Anton.
"Didn't you say the time was coming for Wonder Woman to appear? Where is she?"
Coulson asked, impatient. The situation was dire, and he couldn't remain calm.
"Don't worry!"
Anton said, his tone strange. "She's already here."
As he spoke, Anton paid no attention to Coulson. Instead, from a different angle in front of him, he was watching another version of himself on the glass lens.
"Tsk…"
A low, soft voice came from Anton. "Don't say it... that big chest, those long legs—if I were a man… No, wait! I'm a man!"
