Reborn with Steve Stand

Chapter 324: The Confident Confidant of Thanos

"Fang Mo?!"

Upon seeing Fang Mo descending from the sky, Thor is first startled, then suddenly embraces Loki's shoulders and laughs loudly: "Haha, brother, now the strongest support has arrived. You don't have to be afraid anymore, do you?"

"No, I'm even more afraid now."

However, Loki's attitude is completely opposite to Thor's. Rather, seeing Fang Mo makes him more panicked. His eyes darted around restlessly: "I need to find a way to leave this planet quickly."

"Fang Mo, when did you come back?"

Thor, not paying attention to Loki's attitude, excitedly asks Fang Mo: "Why didn't you go to Asgard to have a drink with me when you returned? I thought you were still wandering in the universe..."

"I did go to Asgard."

Fang Mo casually pulls out the Storm Axe from his storage space and kills a few ferocious composite beasts that rushed at him thoughtlessly: "The problem is, I had just arrived in Asgard when Heimdall came knocking, saying something happened on Earth and asked me to come and check."

"What's with this axe in your hand?"

Thor looks at the Storm Axe in Fang Mo's hand and asks, somewhat covetously.

He can't help it. The design of this axe is exactly to his taste. It has a very strong Viking style, a handle almost as tall as a person, double-sided axe blades larger than a wheel, and an overall cold blue metallic texture. In the center of the two blades, a deep blue hook jade-like gem is embedded.

"Oh, this axe."

Fang Mo briefly introduces it: "I had exchanged forging techniques with those dwarves before, right? I made a few weapons for myself afterward, and this is one of them."

"Then your craftsmanship is really good."

Thor sincerely admires: "This is the weapon a real man should use. Of course, compared to my hammer, it might still be lacking..."

"Oh, is that so?"

Hearing this, Fang Mo smiles meaningfully.

"..."

Seeing Fang Mo's expression, Loki suddenly feels a sense of unease and quietly retreats while the two are distracted.

As for Thor.

He didn't really notice Fang Mo's expression.

Or rather, he didn't have time to notice.

Fang Mo had just destroyed all the surrounding transport pods in one strike, which indeed eliminated a large number of composite beasts. However, these creatures are extremely tenacious. A small part of them, although blown up and bloodied, did not die and struggled to continue assaulting the defenses.

Seeing this, Thor can't chat with Fang Mo anymore and immediately swings the Mjolnir to meet the attack.

"I am the son of Odin! For the glory of the Norse gods!"

Thor, filled with majesty, shouted and swung his hammer in a semicircle in mid-air, smashing a synthetic beast's head to pieces with a "thud." He then kicked another synthetic beast flying.

However, there were simply too many of these synthetic beasts.

So Thor had no choice but to raise his hammer and draw a bolt of lightning from mid-air, blasting a dozen synthetic beasts away.

But after the explosion of the transport pod, at least a thousand synthetic beasts fell out. Thor had just cleared a small area when it was immediately filled again by countless beasts. These mindless monsters drooled and crazily destroyed everything in their path. Seeing this, Thor had to raise his hammer again.

But as Thor looked up...

He saw a small blue orb suddenly flying into the sky.

"Hmm?"

Thor was stunned, but before he could react, the clear sky rapidly changed. Heavy, leaden clouds rolled in from all directions, quickly enveloping Sokovia.

Behind Thor, a dazzling electric light suddenly lit up.

Thor turned around sharply, just in time to see Fang Mo surrounded by endless thunder.

Fang Mo, holding a storm axe, his eyes turned lightning-like purple and white, his body emanating a terrifying aura. He suddenly swung the axe forward and shouted.

"The power of Pikachu!!!"

As Fang Mo spoke, the clouds in the sky suddenly brightened.

Then, hundreds of lightning bolts struck down, illuminating the whole world in silver and white.

The deafening explosion followed, like thousands of missiles exploding simultaneously. Everything in front of them, or rather the entire central area of Sokovia, was blasted to smithereens - buildings, flower beds, roads, and the tide of synthetic beasts.

The ground was riddled with craters of various sizes, and the air was filled with a hot wave, the scent of charred corpses and flesh.

"What... is this!?"

Thor watched this scene, dumbfounded.

He looked at the axe in Fang Mo's hand, then down at his own Mjlnir. An absurd feeling emerged from the depths of his heart.

Who is the real God of Thunder?

Even Thor himself felt confused for a moment. Could it be that Fang Mo was the real God of Thunder, and he was just a 'Hammer God', capable of summoning thunder by coincidence?

While Thor was questioning his life, the other Avengers quickly arrived.

They had been fighting synthetic beasts in other districts, but now with that bolt of lightning, all the beasts were wiped out, so everyone gathered together.

"So I guess that lightning wasn't released by Thor, right?"

Black Widow Natasha, seeing Fang Mo, quickly understood and relaxed: "Looks like the Avengers have really all assembled."

"I saw it clearly from above."

Hawkeye jokes for once: "Thor only produced a few sparks, then Fang Mo brought a lightning storm. Now, except for us, there are probably no other living beings here."

"Thankfully, the civilians evacuated early"

Captain America Steve Rogers rubbed his left arm: "These lightning attacks don't distinguish between friend and foe. I used my shield to block it, but my arm is still numb."

"So, Captain, how exactly did you use a metal shield to block lightning?"

Hawkeye couldn't help but ask, emphasizing the word "metal."

"Sometimes, don't blindly believe in science, Barton." Captain America didn't want to explain, just casually brushed it off: "Science is not the ultimate truth... By the way, where's Hulk?"

"Captain, not everyone has a shield like you."

Natasha spoke up: "Hulk just got struck by lightning several times trying to protect me... But he didn't turn back into Dr. Banner, instead he kept roaring Thor's name, his teeth nearly shattered. Maybe the electric current paralyzed his body, he can't stand up for now."

"...Okay."

Captain America nodded: "Then let him lie in the pit to cool off, now we need to figure out how to deal with these alien freaks."

"What should we do?"

Natasha asked.

"Fang Mo." Captain America turned to Fang Mo: "You just summoned those lightning bolts, do you still have the strength?"

"My energy is endless!"

Fang Mo waved his hand: "No need for more words, Captain, let's just do it!"

"...Okay."

Captain America, with a bit of a headache, touched his forehead: "Then the frontal assault is up to you, after all, you are the strongest Avenger."

"Wait, I have to clarify something."

Fang Mo, who was ready to fight, suddenly stopped, and seriously said to Captain America: "Captain, I am not an Avenger, I'm just a former technical advisor for S.H.I.E.L.D..."

"That's not for me to decide."

Captain America said, "Now, the whole world sees you as the strongest Avenger. Even the most vicious members of Hydra tremble at the mention of your name. Of course, we also consider you a comrade..."

"As a comrade, yes, but I simply don't want to be an Avenger," Fang Mo spread his hands and said, "Think about it, can everyone really accept an Asian making American hell jokes? Let me put it this way, Captain, killing 31,646 people is equivalent to saving the oxygen emitted by twenty million trees. And my little Adolf has already planted 3,726,585,982 trees. I'd call him an international ambassador for reforestation..."

"Alright, stop there. From now on, you're no longer an Avenger," Captain America said with a headache, "You're just a mage friend of ours... is that okay?"

"That's more like it."

Fang Mo then showed a pleased smile, "Okay, I'm off to fight. You guys better take care of yourselves. My advice is to hide behind Thor. He's tougher."

After saying that, Fang Mo turned and walked in a direction.

As mentioned earlier, the invaders this time were the Black Order under Thanos. When Fang Mo was in mid-air, he had seen Ebony Maw holding a purple scepter.

Now, after the thunderous bombardment, all the buildings and cover had collapsed.

Black Dwarf, whose stature was similar to Hulk's, also slowly stepped out, holding a metal hammer resembling a ship's anchor, his face full of murderous intent as he stared at Fang Mo. Behind him were an ugly-looking woman with a trident and a tall, thin man with a hood, holding a strange weapon.

Ebony Maw of course noticed Fang Mo.

From the fact that Fang Mo had killed all the synthetics with a single strike, Ebony Maw realized his identity.

According to the intelligence they had gathered, this 'Earthling' seemed to be the enemy competing with their master for the Infinity Stones.

Previously, Gamora and Nebula had infiltrated Earth with the Mind Stone to help Thanos seize the Tesseract, but they failed to get the Tesseract and were captured instead. Plus, the previous battle in Vormir led them to speculate that their opponent had at least three Infinity Stones.

Under normal circumstances, three stones against one would surely be a losing battle.

But Ebony Maw showed no fear, instead, he wore a confident smile.
