Superman's Saiyan little brother

Bullets swarmed the skies, attacking the four members of the Immortal Palace, but the four showed no fear. After all, places like Jotunheim may not have developed technological power, but it's not only Earth that has seen technological advancement within the Nine Realms.

It could be said that in the current universe, the differences in technology are not too vast. The mainstream path of technological development, from firearms to nuclear and energy weapons, is fairly consistent across the cosmos. There aren't any overly elaborate or terrifying technological elements.

Thus, firearms, something the Immortal Palace quartet had seen plenty of times, didn't impress them much. Earth's technological level might not be the most advanced in the universe, but it was certainly not far behind either. Firearms simply weren't worth their concern.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

The bullets were quickly blocked by various weapons: long swords, giant axes, and even maces.

Faced with this situation, the Hydra soldiers reacted swiftly, having been prepared from the start, especially after noticing the extraordinary nature of the Immortal Palace group. They wouldn't engage without readiness.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Soon, some Hydra soldiers added attachments to their firearms, and beams of laser energy began shooting out. Hydra had apparently developed a new type of portable laser weapon.

"Hmm? Not simple at all, it seems humans from the Central Court are even more formidable than we thought. But it makes sense, given the harsh environment of the Central Court, one would need to be capable to survive here…" Vostag observed, blocking the incoming energy lasers with a slightly more serious expression.

Even though Hydra's energy weapons were somewhat inferior to Asgard's standard arsenal, they now posed a threat to the Immortal Palace group, pushing energy weapons to a new level.

Thus, facing this new threat, the Immortal Palace quartet started to take things seriously. Sif spoke up, "We can't remain passive. We don't know their origins or their energy reserves. Continuing like this could lead to other dangers!"

Initially unimpressed by Earth and dismissing Hydra soldiers during the initial skirmish, the quartet now faced the energy weapons and chose to take the offensive, realizing that Earth was not the Central Court they once knew.

With a loud "thud!", Sif's voice fell, and she suddenly leaped forward, rushing towards the Hydra soldiers.

This collective long-range attack was flawed. For instance, if the enemy got inside, attacking them without harming one's allies became difficult. This was a tactic Robert had used in Asgard, and with her vast combat experience, Sif also saw through it.

With a "swoosh!" when Sif appeared beside the Hydra soldiers, they were somewhat at a loss. Although they immediately tried to distance themselves, the sheer difference in speed was too great, allowing Sif to easily kill several Hydra soldiers and continue pushing them back.

Faced with this, the surrounding Hydra soldiers hesitated to use their energy weapons, opting instead for tranquilizer bullets. However, Sif's reaction was swift. Knowing that Hydra soldiers possessed energy weapons made her cautious of the tranquilizer bullets, which were a desperate measure used by the soldiers in danger.

"Pop!"

"Pop!"

While Sif blocked the tranquilizer bullets, her offensive inevitably slowed down. She could only manage to kill the two closest and slowest Hydra soldiers, using their bodies to block further tranquilizer shots, but her attack rhythm was disrupted.

But the other three warriors of the Immortal Palace were not just spectators. As Sif charged into the Hydra soldiers, they too rushed forward, launching attacks from different directions.

With the quartet's assault, the previously clustered Hydra soldiers were forced to scatter. With the close distance, they lacked effective means to counter.

Most Hydra soldiers were merely ordinary humans, not even on a superhuman level, and certainly not comparable to the average Asgardian in terms of physical ability, let alone the Immortal Palace group who had grown up alongside Thor.

However, there were indeed strong individuals among the Hydra soldiers, some super soldiers were hidden among their peers, and some beast warriors were also heading their way, ready for combat from the moment the Immortal Palace group was spotted.

"Clang!" In the midst of battle, Fandral's blade was blocked for the first time, not by just anyone, but by a chiseled, towering super soldier, whose arms were equipped with blade arms that looked sturdy enough to successfully block Fandral's attack.

"Hmm?" Fandral's expression darkened when his attack was blocked. He could feel that the super soldier in front of him, although not as strong as an Asgardian, was formidable enough to be considered a threat.

"Be careful! These guys are not simple. Some of them are not mere mortals, and even possess the strength of Asgardian civilians!" With this realization, F

andral kicked the super soldier, warning his companions.

"Thud!" The super soldier managed to parry Fandral's attack, retreating with a wounded but not critically injured body. Fandral was indeed stronger, but not to the extent of crushing or instantly killing his opponent, and facing an enemy not vastly superior, the super soldier was still able to fight.

Especially after the first super soldier blocked Fandral's attack, several more appeared around him, all launching attacks at Fandral.

And not just Fandral, the other three members also faced similar situations. Since long-range weapons had proven ineffective against the Immortal Palace group, it was time for the super soldiers to really test their mettle.

Meanwhile, at the Hydra base, McCarthy, who was listening to the conversation of the Immortal Palace group, was momentarily confused, as he heard the name 'Asgard'.

He couldn't help but feel more familiar with this name now, especially since among the brainwashed soldiers of Hydra, the strongest claimed to be Thor, the God of Thunder.

When Loki appeared at the Hydra base, McCarthy, who hadn't seen Loki's form, saw Thor's performance and even briefly wondered if Thor could indeed be some kind of divine being from Asgard rather than just a secret warrior.

But in the end, McCarthy dismissed these absurd thoughts. After all, mythology is just mythology; it doesn't manifest in the real world. And in the storyline of the real world, Norse mythology had already moved towards Ragnarok, with Thor long dead. How could Thor possibly be the real Thunder God?

McCarthy thought that Thor might originally have been brainwashed or had his perception altered in some way, which made him a bit abnormal. And after being brainwashed again by Hydra, his madness was understandable as long as it didn't interfere with their missions.

But now, hearing the Immortal Palace group's conversation, McCarthy was perplexed. One Thor might be fake, but surely the newly appeared Immortal Palace quartet couldn't all be impostors?

Especially since the Immortal Palace group was even stronger than the super soldiers, they were superhuman beings. There was no need for them to continue acting in battle, right? Or could it be that they were the organization behind Thor's upbringing, sharing the same beliefs?

"Hmm? That might actually be possible!" But as he pondered this, McCarthy began to hesitate. Compared to the reality of Norse gods, this logic seemed more plausible.

Like Thor, who was secretly raised by an organization claiming to be Asgard, to control their soldiers by altering their perceptions.

And this organization learned that Thor had been sold to Hydra, so they sent their soldiers to find him, leading to the current battle.

But now, McCarthy had a new question: "Why then, are their powers greater than Thor's before? It's impossible for them to be more powerful gods, as in Norse mythology, Thor's strength is among the highest..."

Indeed, the current Thor was more powerful than the strength shown by the Immortal Palace group, but before receiving the super soldier serum injection, Thor definitely wasn't a match for the quartet, which was something McCarthy hadn't figured out yet.

"So, should Thor be informed about these things? And with four more formidable individuals, if they were injected with the super soldier serum and successfully brainwashed, could their strength surpass Thor's?" Quickly, one thought after another flashed through McCarthy's mind, and he became excited.

"Let the beast warriors take action!" So, McCarthy quickly made a decision, reasoning that if the potential of the Immortal Palace quartet surpassed Thor's, then Hydra could definitely gain several powerful generals.

Especially once McCarthy completed his undercover mission, he would surely gain the original boss's attention!

Even more so, as he imagined these things, McCarthy's ambitions began to swell. Ah Fu had only taken over Valmont's position; why should he remain undercover? If he could find a way to deal with Ah Fu and control the brainwashed Thor and the Immortal Palace quartet, why couldn't he become the head of this branch of Hydra, instead of just being a mere undercover agent?

Hydra, after all! How could they be called Hydra if they didn't have desires and ambitions? Loyalty could exist, but if one could climb to a higher position, such loyalty wasn't so important!

"Yes!" Quickly, following McCarthy's command, the beast warriors already on their way moved even faster.

On the other side, Sif and the others realized something was amiss, as the surrounding Hydra soldiers had already distanced themselves, and the super soldiers they were fighting seemed not too eager to press their attack, seemingly more interested in pinning them down.

"Be careful, something's not right!" Noticing this, Sif immediately shouted a warning, causing the three brave warriors of the Immortal Palace to become more serious, their years of cooperation and combat experience prompting them to intensify their attacks.

"Pop!"

"

Pop!"

Several super soldiers, despite their combat experience, died at the hands of the Immortal Palace quartet due to the sheer difference in combat strength. Just then, the beast warriors were also ready to act.

"Roar!" The appearing beast warriors roared in unison. Unlike the beast warriors Robert had encountered, these were between failures and successes. They retained their sanity, could understand commands, but were still unable to speak.

Moreover, the beast warriors had not escaped the curse of being short-lived, although not as drastically as to die instantly with any exertion.

"Hmm? What are these creatures? Are they also from the Central Court?!" Hearing the roar, the Immortal Palace group couldn't help but be distracted, especially as they felt a threatening presence after the roar.

If the super soldiers could block their further attacks, these beast warriors were undoubtedly a threat to their safety.

"Don't hold back, let's deal with these guys around us first!" Faced with this situation, Sif shouted, and a surge of immense power burst forth from her.

And not just Sif, the three brave warriors of the Immortal Palace did the same, unleashing their own divine power. It wasn't Odin's power or the power of thunder, but it was enough to significantly enhance the strength of the Immortal Palace quartet.

"Pop!"

"Pop!"

"Pop!"

And with the use of divine power, in just an instant, the super soldiers who had been barely able to block the Immortal Palace group were all slain...
