A sudden flash of golden light.
That legendary Spear of Eternity that never missed its target—Gungnir.
Carrying the divine power accumulated by All-Father Odin over thousands of years, carrying the monstrous hatred of a father grieving for his beloved son.
It tore through the air, twisted space.
Appearing before Frieza's forehead with a speed surpassing reaction time!
That was a strike capable of piercing stars!
Even Thanos, facing this spear, would likely have his heart pierced through.
However.
Ding.
A crisp, somewhat surreal metallic impact sound rang out abruptly on this battlefield filled with shouts of killing.
Time seemed to be paused in this moment.
Everyone's gaze involuntarily focused on that white figure in mid-air.
Frieza still maintained that elegant standing posture, not even taking his other hand out of his trouser pocket.
He merely raised his right hand slightly.
Extended two fingers.
Index finger, and middle finger.
As if clamping a weightless toothpick.
That Spear of Eternity, containing the power of causality and unstoppable momentum.
Was clamped steadily between those two fair, slender fingers just like that!
The spear tip was less than a centimeter from Frieza's forehead.
The violent golden divine power on the spear shaft surged madly, trying to break free from this hand's restraint, emitting bursts of unwilling humming sounds.
But no matter how it struggled.
Those two fingers were like the sturdiest pliers in the universe, not budging an inch.
"Oh my, my..."
Frieza tilted his head, looking at the spear tip close at hand, a playful smile appearing on his face.
"Isn't this that one-eyed old man's walking stick?"
"Such a valuable item, how can you throw it around casually?"
"If it smashed some flowers or grass, or poked a hole in this Emperor's new clothes, could you afford to pay?"
Before his voice fell.
Frieza's fingers applied slight force.
Snap!
A burst of purple Ki rebounded along the spear shaft.
Gungnir emitted a wail, the golden light upon it dimming instantly.
Like a dead snake with a broken spine, it drooped down weakly.
"Giving it back to you."
Frieza flicked his hand casually.
Whoosh!
Gungnir flew back faster than it came, stabbing ruthlessly back, sinking in up to the hilt!
Rumble—
Dust cleared.
An aged yet incredibly majestic figure walked slowly out of the shadows of the hall.
Odin.
But his appearance at this moment made everyone suck in a breath of cold air.
He was not wearing that iconic golden armor.
Instead, he was draped in a grey cloak emitting an ancient aura. In his single eye burned a blue divine fire that seemed capable of incinerating the Nine Realms.
And beside him.
Hovered two suffocating divine artifacts.
On the left, a tall, hideous, empty shell of armor made entirely of Uru metal, with raging fire burning inside—
The Destroyer: Ultimate Form!
On the right, a greatsword exaggeratedly huge, its blade engraved with countless Runic symbols, emitting an aura of destruction—
Core of Asgard · World-Ender Greatsword!
"FOLIZA!!!"
Odin let out a roar, sounding like thunder, shaking the entire continent of Asgard.
"You killed my beloved son! Destroyed my Midgard! Insulted my Realm Eternal!"
"Today, even if I have to sacrifice all of Asgard, I will tear you into ten thousand pieces! Banish you into the endless void!"
Facing this monstrous hatred.
Frieza merely clapped his hands lightly, a look of interest appearing on his face.
"Oho?"
Frieza's gaze swept over the Destroyer and the World-Ender Greatsword.
"Are these your trump cards? Old fellow."
"I have to say, your new toys do look much more pleasing to the eye than that hammer which only discharges electricity."
Frieza extended a finger and tapped towards the flaming Destroyer.
"That tin man looks quite sturdy; it should be good for use as a punching bag."
"As for that sword..."
Frieza licked his lips, a trace of greed flashing in his eyes.
"Barely worthy of this Emperor's collection room."
"Arrogant demon!"
Odin was furious; he waved his large hand.
"Destroyer! Kill him!"
BOOM!
The Ultimate Destroyer armor moved instantly.
It made no superfluous movements, just snapped its faceplate open.
HUM————!!!
An incredibly thick orange beam of destruction, containing the energy of Asgard's entire leyline, spewed out instantly!
The power of this beam was even more terrifying than the main cannon volley of Thanos's fleet earlier!
Where it passed, visible cracks appeared in space!
"Hmph, this boring trick again."
Frieza snorted disdainfully.
He still had no intention of dodging.
Just slowly extended his right hand, palm facing forward.
Intending to block this strike casually like he blocked Captain Marvel before.
"Stop for me!"
Frieza's palm collided fiercely with that beam of destruction.
Zzz—!
Two terrifying energies clashed fiercely in the air, kicking up sky-filling sparks.
However.
The next second.
Frieza's originally relaxed expression suddenly changed slightly.
"Hm?"
He felt a resistance.
A pushing force that, although weak, definitely existed!
That beam was not instantly deflected or annihilated as he expected.
Instead, it was constantly impacting his Ki shield, even making his palm feel a slight heat!
"A little interesting..."
Frieza's scarlet eyes narrowed slightly.
"It seems this pile of scrap metal is a tiny bit harder than I imagined."
"In that case..."
The muscles on Frieza's arm bulged slightly.
"Hah!"
He waved his hand violently to the side!
That beam of destruction originally aimed at his face was forcibly redirected by him!
Whoosh—!
The beam flew past Frieza's body towards the distant starry sky.
RUMBLE————!!!
A few seconds later.
In the sky of Asgard, a fireball brighter than a star suddenly lit up!
That was...
A small moon not far from Asgard!
The moment it was hit by the deflected destruction beam.
That moon was like a watermelon hit by a bullet, exploding directly in space!
Turning into countless burning fragments!
One hit, planet busted!
The entire battlefield fell silent instantly.
Even Thanos, who was beating up Hela, paused his movements, looking up at that terrifying explosion.
"Th... What level of energy is this?!"
Thanos was shocked.
That thing looking like a tin toy actually possessed planet-destroying destructive power?!
"Ohohoho..."
Frieza looked at the splendid fireworks, shaking his somewhat hot palm.
He turned his head, the look in his eyes towards Odin finally changing.
No longer that contempt for ants.
But with an added trace of...
Excitement of seeing an interesting prey.
"Not bad, truly not bad."
Frieza adjusted his tie which had been messed up by the strong wind, a cruel smile curling his lips.
"To make my hand feel a little heat, old thing, you should be proud."
"It seems you are truly prepared to go meet your foolish son."
Frieza slowly floated out of the hover pod, his toes touching the void.
A purple aura even more massive and terrifying than before exploded from his body with a bang!
"Since you brought out such toys..."
"Then for this Emperor to get a tiny bit serious is also a form of respect to you, right?"
"Come on, Odin!"
Frieza crooked his finger at Odin.
"Let me see how much oil can still be squeezed out of your old bones!"
