I am Thor

Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Falling



"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the Drax-related mission: Revenge. Reward granted: active skill—Brain Damage!"

"Brain Damage: Reduces the target's IQ by 90% for ten minutes."

As the system notification echoed, Thor glanced around and fixed his gaze on Star-Lord.

"Use skill on target Star-Lord—Brain Damage!"

In the next moment, Star-Lord suddenly yelled excitedly, "Yes! Ronan is dead! Let's celebrate! Woohoo!" Then, like a character from Tarzan of the Apes, he leaped onto a nearby tree.

Everyone present stared, their faces covered in black lines of exasperation.

Yondu, meanwhile, departed with the Ravagers, taking the Cosmic Orb that Star-Lord had given him without asking any questions. With his wit, he surely knew there was no gem inside…

"Allow me, on behalf of the Nova Corps, to extend our highest respect and sincere gratitude to you. Thank you for saving the planet Xandar!" the Secretary-General of Xandar said, leading a group forward to thank Thor. The Guardians of the Galaxy were included, standing by Thor's side.

"Your strength is beyond belief; you even survived the stone's damage. I believe the safest place for the Cosmic Orb is in your hands," the Secretary-General added.

The true nature of the Cosmic Orb had been exposed, and it was dangerous to keep the Power Stone on Xandar. Many would hunt it down. Since Thor could harness its power, giving it to him seemed the wisest choice.

"Your wife and daughter can rest in peace. Ronan has paid for his crimes." Gamora said to Drax as they walked out of the conference room.

Drax was silent for a moment, then murmured, "Ronan was only a puppet. The true villain is Thanos."

Thor, who was walking ahead, turned and spoke to Groot, "Stormbreaker is essential to defeat Thanos. With Ronan dead, I'm heading back to forge the weapon. Think you can help?"

"I'm Groot."

"Thank you! Do you want to witness the creation of the weapon that will kill Thanos?"

"Of course! But I'd rather witness Thanos's downfall!"

"That day will come."

"Ding, Ronan is dead, and Groot has escaped his original fate. Congratulations to the host for completing the mission related to Groot, King of the Wood Element. Task reward granted!"

"Mission Reward: A unique weapon crafted by Groot, which will only bond with a single individual!"

The spaceship descended on Nidavellir, followed closely by Star-Lord's smaller vessel.

"Well, are you here to forge the battle axe? Wait…is that…?" Dwarf King Eitri came forward to greet them, but his expression changed when he saw Groot.

"A Flora Colossus! By the gods, I never expected any of their kind survived!"

Eitri slapped Thor's shoulder. "You're one lucky man! Legend has it the Flora Colossus are descendants of the World Tree. A weapon crafted from its branches would wield unimaginable power!"

Thor nodded. "Then let's get started."

This time, Nidavellir's facilities remained intact, so they didn't need to pull any emergency levers. They could fully witness the birth of the battle axe.

The complex machinery roared to life, and the energy of the neutron star ignited the furnace. Slowly, the prototype of a battle axe took shape.

Back on Earth, the broken remains of Ultron lay motionless, defeated. The Iron Legion was gone, and Carol, Jane Foster, and Vision stood around him.

Notably, thanks to Thor's advice, Tony had equipped Pietro with high-tech armor, so he was alive and well.

Ultron whispered, "Do you think you've won? This is only the beginning."

A brilliant golden glow shone above Vision's head, signaling the end of the battle. But at that moment, a final robot, programmed long in advance, activated the final stage of Project Meteor, set in motion the instant Ultron fell.

"Boom—"

The city trembled in mid-air, beginning its catastrophic descent toward the ground. Flames roared from beneath as air friction intensified.

"No! I've tried everything, but I can't stop the city from falling, and I can't destroy it!" Tony's frantic voice came through.

This version of Ultron had moved cautiously, slower than in the original timeline…

In the distant east, on Kamar-Taj Square, the Ancient One's eyes focused, as if she could see the plummeting city across the vast mountains and rivers.
