"Hello, Thor." Orochi said lightly, "I believe this is our first official meeting, but I don't need to introduce myself. ”

Thor looked at him coldly, his hammer clenched in his hand. Divine power surged, and blue lightning surrounded his body, radiating from the hammer in a filamentous form. Thunderclouds were brewing in the sky, and thunder surged between the clouds, as if heavenly punishment was about to fall at any moment.

"'Nine tribulations buried the son of Odin, although he was not afraid, he was still slaughtered by the serpent'." Thor said coldly, "You are the 'Great Serpent'. ”

"Oh, so you've heard the prophecy." The serpent's long hair fluttered in the wind stirred up by Thor's side, "Then that's easy to say." ”

Yes, this is the fate that Thor is destined to bear, a prophecy that will be fulfilled. There is also a corresponding record in Norse mythology in the human world - Thor, the strongest of the gods, faced the great serpent Jörmungard alone at the time of Ragnarok. Legend has it that Thor struck Mjolnir three times, and the third time he finally hit the serpent, inflicting fatal damage. But at the same time, Thor himself was poisoned by the snake venom of the serpent, and after exhaustion, he died of poison.

This detailed process may have been fabricated by the human beings who recorded the myth, but the prophecy itself and its ending are genuine. Thor, the god of thunder, was destined to die with the serpent, which was his fate and that of Asgard. The Great Serpent knew this, and so did Odin. That's why Odin won't do anything, even if he gives up his life's glory as a monarch and sacrifices the entire court.

Because if he doesn't, then he's going to have to sacrifice his son.

But even so, he eventually lets Thor come over and allows him to face the serpent. Maybe it was Thor's insistence that made him understand that destiny was indisobedient, or maybe as he told Thor, he only thought that his son had died in battle.

Perhaps this is the only way to save Asgard from Ragnarok, and Thor is destined to be the savior.

"That's right, that's me." The serpent's tone softened slightly, "What you just said is indeed a prophecy that connects you and me. But listen, nephew, you weren't born at the time of the incident, but I was the first rightful monarch of Asgard. My brother Odin is a usurper, who has taken everything that is rightfully mine, and who has tampered with the world in his own way to make it what it is today.

Because of his sins, I have been bound for thousands of years by powerful magic that spontaneously shaped this prophecy about you and me. So if you're going to kill me, then it's destined to end up with your life ruined, and Odin tormented – and that's not bad. ”

He paused, and held out a hand to Thor.

"But if you think about it, how much did Odin not tell you?" He said, "Is that stupid, stupid one-eyed guy really worth your life, Thor?" If you and I kill each other, we will all die. But if you and I join forces, we can make Odin pay for everything he has done. ”

The black clouds seemed to be thicker, and instead of dissipating, the electric light only looked more dazzling.

"Odin is going to pay for what he has done in his life? Maybe, but that's none of your business. "Today, at this moment, you're the only one who has to pay, monster!" ”

The current was stored to the extreme, and it crackled around Thor's body. He jumped up and flew forward, the war hammer in his hand wrapped in a thousand thunderbolts and burst out!

"Stupid decision."

The serpent's outstretched wrist flipped over, and the palm turned outward, and the dark green magic light suddenly roared out. The lightning was torn apart, the thunder was engulfed, and the mighty power of Thor's hammer suddenly turned into a broken candle in the wind, completely powerless to resist!

Thor was knocked out of the way. He felt dizzy and his body flipped in the turbulence, and he didn't know how many somersaults he had planted. He struggled to get up, but failed to do so after two attempts. Thor's hammer also fell to the side, bubbling with electricity.

The serpent stepped forward on the rubble of the ruins, approaching step by step like a grim reaper.

There is a huge difference in strength between him and Thor, and it stands to reason that Thor will not be able to kill him even if he tries his best. But the Great Snake knew the power of that magic - even with his divine power for thousands of years, he couldn't shake the seal for half a minute. The prophecy derived from this magic can never be disobeyed, no matter how powerful. So since the prophecy said that he and Thor would die together, then the outcome was absolute, and he had no doubt about it.

"Now you should understand what a stupid choice it is to go against me." The big snake looked at Thor who was struggling on the ground, and said coldly, "It's too late to give up now." We can still ......."

The second half of the snake's words were swallowed back into his stomach. His face changed suddenly.

Scati asked cautiously, "What's the matter, father?" ”

"No......" the big snake frowned, and his face became quite ugly, "Impossible! ”

"What......?"

"Let's go."

There was no explanation, and there was no hesitation. The serpent raised his hand, and it condensed into a dark vortex in the sky—just as he had appeared. The gravitational pull dragged both him and Scati up, sucked into the whirlpool of the black hole, and disappeared in a moment.

The huge coercion disappeared, and everyone's hearts were suddenly relieved.

"Thor," the captain and the Winter Soldier stood up as they put their arms around each other and asked Thor, "what's going on?" ”

Thor gasped heavily, and looked back at him, his face also blank.

***

A dark vortex opened out of mid-air, and both the serpent and the Scati descended from the sky. I saw Dom below standing to the side with his arms crossed, and Michael, who was wearing God's Domain armor, was holding a black hammer. The hammer that was supposed to belong to the serpent was perfectly matched with his armor at this time, and the divine power of the hammer and the original power of the armor were combined under the action of a clever spell, and the powerful divine power that was as boundless as the vast ocean was released from the armor.

The big snake's face was quite ugly: "You! Mortal! What did you do? ”

Dum still stood with his arms crossed, glancing at him contemptuously, as if he was completely indifferent to the power of the Great Serpent's father-level god. Michael held the hammer here, raised his eyes and glanced at him indifferently, and said calmly, "It's finally here." ”

The Great Serpent felt despised or despised by two mortals. A cloud of fire rushed to his heart, and he raised his hand to try to retrieve his hammer. He didn't know what cheating the human had used to take his strongest hammer, but it was his weapon, and he could remove anyone from it whenever he wanted, just as Odin did with Thor's hammer.

However, his hammer didn't respond, and in Michael's hands he didn't even bother for a moment.

"What!?" The serpent was shocked, "You...... What exactly did you do? ”
