Chapter 372: Chapter 372
Chapter 372: Chapter 372
The black-clad men standing by Xu Wenwu radiated confidence.
With the power of the Ten Rings, they believed their leader could defeat even Thor, a member of the Avengers. Their confidence stemmed from years of victories won by Xu Wenwu and their unwavering faith in the Rings' might.
Before Hela could speak, Fandral, standing next to Thor, stepped forward and addressed Xu Wenwu. "Hand over the Ten Rings. Such a weapon is not meant for a mere mortal like you." Hela and the others immediately grasped the Asgardians' true purpose.
A flicker of mockery flashed in Hela's eyes as she remarked dryly, "So, you've come for the Ten Rings."
The black-clad men behind Xu Wenwu exchanged angry glances and muttered amongst themselves.
"I thought they were here for something important, but they're after the leader's Ten Rings?" "It's no surprise. The Rings are so powerful that even Asgardians would covet them."
"And calling us mere mortals unworthy-what a joke. They just want to steal the Rings!" Hearing these comments, Fandral frowned.
Xu Wenwu smirked. "If you want the Ten Rings, defeat me first!"
He assumed a combat stance, and the ten golden bracelets on his arms lit up with a dazzling blue glow.
"I must admit, I'm curious," Xu Wenwu said, his gaze fixed on Thor. "Let's see what kind of monster Hela's little brother truly is."
With a confident grin, he added, "Soon, I'll show Hela that her so-called monstrous brother, who can destroy everything, is nothing to me."
Without hesitation, Xu Wenwu made the first move.
With a flick of his right hand, five rings shot forward.
The Warriors Three tensed as the rings hurtled toward them with incredible speed, their impact rippling through the air.
Fandral swung his sword, intercepting two of the rings.
Bang!
The force of the impact sent a shudder through his weapon, forcing him back two steps.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
As one of the Warriors Three, even Fandral couldn't hide his shock at the Rings' power.
"Be careful, Thor! These things are powerful!" he shouted, glancing back just in time to see Thor flung backward by the other three rings.
Crash!
Thor hit the ground with a resounding thud, sending a cloud of dust into the air.
"Thor!"
"Your Highness!"
Sif and the others cried out in alarm.
The five rings returned to Xu Wenwu's arms as he turned to Hela with a mocking smile. "Your brother isn't as impressive as you made him out to be."
The black-clad men burst into laughter, their initial skepticism replaced by amusement.
"This Hela really loves to exaggerate. What monster? What destroyer of worlds? Hilarious!" "Thor can't even stand up to our leader. What a joke!"
Gritting his teeth, Thor stood and muttered angrily, "If my hammer wasn't destroyed, you wouldn't be acting so smug."
Electricity crackled around him as his eyes turned a glowing blue-white. Lightning arced across his body, startling Sif and the others.
"What's this?"
"Has he awakened his divine power?"
A triumphant smile spread across Thor's face. "Now, let's continue!"
Electrified and brimming with power, Thor charged at Xu Wenwu.
Startled, Xu Wenwu instinctively launched five rings from his right arm.
Whoosh!
Thor raised his hand, summoning bolts of lightning to intercept the incoming rings.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The rings' momentum faltered, and Thor easily swatted them aside. They spun back to Xu Wenwu's arms.
The sight left everyone stunned-Xu Wenwu, the Warriors Three, the black-clad men, and even Hela.
Thor's strength, even without Mjolnir, was astonishing.
Realizing this, Xu Wenwu's confidence wavered slightly. No wonder Hela had described her brother as a monster capable of destruction.
"Still, he's no match for me!" Xu Wenwu declared, extending both arms as all ten rings flew forward.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Under his command, the rings attacked Thor relentlessly. Even with his newfound power, Thor struggled without his hammer.
Bang!
A ring struck Thor square in the chest, sending him crashing to the ground once more.
The black-clad men cheered, their leader's dominance reaffirmed.
"Leader, you're incredible! Thor is no match for you!"
"Hela must've been joking when she called him a monster. He's nothing compared to our
leader!"
"With the Ten Rings, no one can defeat you!"
As they praised Xu Wenwu, he directed the rings for another attack.
Fandral and the others leaped into action, engaging Xu Wenwu to buy Thor time.
Clang! Clang!
Even the Ten Rings couldn't overwhelm the combined efforts of Valkyrie and the Warriors Three. Xu Wenwu's attacks were deflected repeatedly.
Seeing this, the black-clad men charged into the fray to assist their leader.
Despite their initial dismissal of the grunts, the Asgardians found themselves struggling due
to the Rings' interference.
Meanwhile, Thor rose to his feet, lightning surging around him. He charged into the black- clad men, scattering them like leaves in a storm.
"Ahhh!"
"Help!"
With Thor's reentry into the fight, the tide began to turn.
Xu Wenwu, now facing an electrified Thor and five other Asgardians, no longer looked so
confident.
