Chapter 276 Slaying the Mortal Python
The moment Joey grasped Mjolnir, his entire body filled with lightning, he felt as if the whole world had changed.
The combined power of Kryptonian and Thor's power is far more intuitive than the feeling of being one with the Giant of Light.
Feeling as if something within her body had been temporarily replenished, Joey wondered if Diana and the other Old Gods had the same feeling when they used their divine power. If she had to describe it in one word, it would be "lightness".
It was as if he had been standing ever since he awakened his abilities, until this moment when he suddenly sat down.
Looking at the Black Widow before him, mortally wounded and lifeless, Joey had a clear understanding of what was going on.
Reaching the summit had already exhausted all her energy.
The moment she saw Thor return, driven by the obsession to "lift up Mjolnir and protect the Earth," she had already lost her last straw to live.
When Mjolnir bestowed upon Thor the power of the god of thunder, he even came with a suit of armor unique to Thor. Although it fit Joey well, it looked somewhat out of place when combined with Superman's costume.
Fortunately, this set of equipment also came with a crucial item: a ceremonial axe.
With a slight bow in homage to the heroes of this universe, Joey placed the axe in Black Widow's hand, causing her to cross her arms over her chest—a ritual once performed by the Norse gods, where only those who died in battle with weapons in hand were allowed to enter Valhalla.
Unfortunately, this can now only be considered a customary ritual, because Ragnarok is coming to an end, and almost the entire Norse pantheon has perished, let alone Valhalla.
Perhaps in another timeline where Superman doesn't arrive, she will finally lift up Mjolnir and become the guardian of Midgard in this apocalypse.
However, the final outcome will likely remain largely unchanged, as the myth tells of a battle between the god of thunder and the mortal serpent.
They ultimately perished together.
The instant Joey lifted Mjolnir, Jormungandr, who had instinctively attacked the Siberian iceberg due to Nick Fury's clam-picking maneuver, stopped his attack.
The crowd, who had been struggling to hold on, looked up in surprise, as if they had all heard that familiar thunderclap.
Did Natalie succeed?
Jormungandr's roar, echoing through Midgard, answered part of Nick Fury's doubts: "God of Thunder!"
Because the position of Thor was filled, all living beings on Earth understood what the other party meant by this roar that spanned the universe.
This is the battle cry of Ragnarok, the declaration of war by the mortal giants against the god of thunder.
"Thor!"
The giant serpent of the mortal world raised its enormous head and roared, spewing venomous saliva that corroded lakes on the ground. Its body rolled, passing over the small insects that stood in its way, and crawled towards Northern Europe.
His massive tail detached from the Pacific Ocean on the other side, descending and nearly crushing the entire Himalayas.
His response was a bright bolt of lightning from the Scandinavian sky.
The earth trembled, the sun and moon were obscured, and Nick Fury and his companions, who were watching the Mortal Serpent depart, involuntarily held their breath.
A strange premonition arose in everyone's mind: what was about to happen was the final stage of Ragnarok, the final battle between order and chaos.
The apocalyptic battle between Thor and the Mortal Colossi has begun once again.
This battle will determine the future of the entire world.
For Joey, the battle between light and darkness, good and evil, had little to do with him.
All he knew was that he had now obtained Mjolnir and gained the power of Thor. Full of energy, he couldn't wait to start his killing spree.
Even if the one they want to kill is Jormungandr, the most powerful giant in the Nine Realms.
Thor's hammer swept across the clouds, bringing with it lightning that tore the sky apart, and its master was even more like a bolt of lightning than the hammer itself.
Joey, who can move at high speeds without Thor's hammer, set off simultaneously with the throwing of Mjolnir, arriving even before the weapon.
Before Mjolnir could even get there, Joey struck first, slamming his fist into the jaw of the World Serpent.
The unparalleled force caused Jormungandr's head, which had been brimming with fighting spirit, to jerk upwards under the impact of the fist. Visible cracks appeared on its scales, which were several meters square, after this blow.
The World Colossus is a mythical behemoth that encircles Midgard. Its weight is equivalent to the entire universe in which Midgard exists. Even Thor in his prime could only lift a quarter of Jormungandr's body.
But the combined power of Thor and Superman had surpassed all the rules of this world. In Ragnarok, the mortal giants, who were otherwise unshakeable except for Mjolnir, let out an incredulous wail:
"Who are you?!"
This question is not only Jormungandr's doubt, but also Nick Fury's group's. In their plan, it should have been Black Widow who lifted Thor's hammer. Who exactly is this big guy in the red cape who suddenly appeared?
Although the opponent's attire has a strange feel, a mix of futuristic and past styles, at least now Earth once again has a new Thor to fight against Jormungandr.
Nick Fury decisively chose not to dwell on these issues and instead issued orders to the survivors: "This isn't important. While he's holding off the giant snake, quickly heal the wounded. Also, find Natasha!"
"Just a Kryptonian passing through, helping Thor in this universe with his funeral arrangements."
A thunderous roar swept through, and without even looking, Joey grabbed Mjolnir from behind, who flashed like lightning, and, following the momentum of the hammer, continued his charge towards Jormungandr with the body of Thor:
Does it matter who I am?
Jormungandr opened its enormous maw, which blotted out the sun, revealing fangs powerful enough to corrode everything, as if to swallow Joey whole: "You're right."
What this new Thor said is true. In the final stage of Ragnarok, all that's needed is Thor and the World Serpent. As for who Thor actually is, that's really not important.
Mjolnir passed through the spewing poisonous mist, shattered the giant serpent's fangs, and continued its momentum, merging with Joy and hammer, and entered Jormungandr's mouth.
The chaotic magical power that permeated the entire world was momentarily halted.
"The new Thor has been eaten by Jormungandr!"
Nick Fury, who was desperately trying to re-establish contact with Black Widow, heard a scientist scream on the other end of the radio: "What are we going to do?!"
"cold.."
An impatient Nick Fury was about to reprimand the fussy scientist, saying that this was just one round of the contest, and that a battle between gods like this was not so easy to decide.
Before he could even finish saying the word "cold," Nick Fury, who had been feeling a bit short of breath and his chest was tight, suddenly felt a sense of lightness throughout his body.
boom!
Upon hearing the loud thud, Nick Fury couldn't tell whether the muffled sound he heard was an explosion or the ringing of a bell.
All he knew was that the world had changed again compared to before the explosion.
Such a commotion resounded throughout the Nine Realms, the barriers between realms were re-erected, and the frost giants and trolls that had been invading were banished back to the Frost Kingdom of Jotunheim after a burst of rainbow light.
The radio crackled to life: "The monsters are gone! The new Thor has won!"
Upon hearing this, Nick Fury looked up and saw that the Earth Serpent, which had been on Earth, had lost the strength to support its body. Its enormous head crashed to the ground, creating a huge gap in the Ural Mountains. It let out a long roar and then fell silent.
Such immense power even startled Nick Fury. In just one exchange, the newly appointed Thor had already reversed the situation and saved Midgard.
"I'm pregnant!"
Covered in blood, Joey manipulated Mjolnir's lightning and his own heat vision, finally managing to emerge from the mountain-like belly of the World Serpent after countless hardships.
Knowing that his time in this world was limited, he adopted the fastest method: he burrowed into the body of the Mortal Serpent, and a bolt of lightning pierced its heart, solving the problem from the inside.
Looking at the now lifeless World Giant, Joey shook off the snake blood on his body, brandished his hammer, and strode off, preparing to set off to find Zhang Parker and embark on his journey home.
But after taking only a few steps, he felt Mjolnir in his hand becoming increasingly heavy.
Having just dealt with the monstrous worldly python, he then abandoned her, making her feel no longer suitable?
Mjolnir in this universe is truly a divine weapon that is used to start something and then abandoned.
With that thought in mind, Joey smiled and prepared to let go of Thor's hammer. Joey never had the greed to take it with him.
After all, it is the power of Thor belonging to this universe, and the safety of the entire universe in the future must be protected by another qualified Thor.
However, the next second Joey uncontrollably fell to his knees, just as he reached the tenth step.
At this moment, completely exhausted, Joey looked at the bluish-green snake venom coursing through the veins on his body and finally realized what had happened.
Mjolnir still believes he is worthy of being the God of Thunder.
But as the myth says, after killing Jormungandr, the serpent's venom also sprayed onto Thor.
The venom of the Mortal Serpent represents an irreversible destructive power. The God of Thunder barely managed to take nine steps before collapsing and dying.
This is the tragic end of Ragnarok.
