I Became Spider-Man's Cousin in Anime Crossover

Chapter 220 Riley: So strong, too strong... I activate, Magic Cylinder!

"Mjørnir—!!!"

At first, when Thor witnessed Mjolnir being shattered without warning right before his eyes, he instinctively let out a desperate cry. He felt as if half of his soul had been stolen from him, and his vision went black for a moment. He almost coughed up blood on the spot.

But it wasn't until that silver-white figure drew a graceful arc in the air and came to an abrupt stop in front of Thor that things changed.

Thor was then taken aback to realize...

The hammer that shattered Thor's hammer was actually another one!

By this point, even if Thor's brain was completely malfunctioning, he could still belatedly realize, based on what he had seen with his own eyes, that what the Destroyer Armor had been holding earlier was nothing more than a counterfeit!

Otherwise, why would Max have so readily abandoned it and so readily withdrawn from the battlefield, feeling ashamed of his inferiority?

Isn't it all about manipulating the situation, creating a disadvantageous situation within a controllable range, and stimulating Thor to complete his self-awakening?

Consequently, since "Mjolnir" is merely a shell without any of Thor's functions, it's no wonder that no matter how hard Thor tries to call out to it, there will be no response!

So much so that when Thor finally understood what had happened, he looked at the original Mjolnir, which was hovering quietly in front of him and had never flown into his palm.

Thor, who has spent over a thousand years with his beloved hammer, how could he not see it...?

It was clear that Mjolnir was angry and blaming Thor, as his master, for not seeing through that seductive and shameless woman's disguise!

If Thor hadn't been in a life-or-death emergency...

Mjolnir, which has been consistently neglected by Thor, will probably have to turn a blind eye and pretend not to hear, continuing to ignore Thor's summons!

"Mjørnir! You're alright... cough cough, I mean, you finally responded to me, old buddy! I knew it, what it was holding all along was a fake—!!!"

Thinking of this, Thor, who had remained calm and composed even when facing the threat of the Destroyer armor, now seemed like a cheating husband caught red-handed by his wife. Facing the silent gaze of Mjolnir, he suddenly felt a cold sweat break out on his back.

He couldn't help but rub his hands together, stammering as he tried to explain himself.

"A perfect opportunity... Let them all turn to ashes—!!!"

Meanwhile, Laufey, who had just taken the blame for Loki and assumed the role of the mastermind, didn't understand why a second Thor's hammer had suddenly appeared in front of him.

But Laufey could also see that Thor's attention was entirely focused on Mjolnir at that moment.

Unlike Loki, Laufey would truly stop at nothing to kill Thor once he got the chance!

That's why, the moment Laufey controlled the Destroyer armor lying on the ground and raised his head...

The energy stored within the Destroyer armor, under Laufey's control, transformed into a dazzling beam of energy. It hurtled straight towards Thor at maximum power!

The Destroyer Armor, in itself, was created as the ultimate weapon with the Celestials as its hypothetical enemy...

With such a full-force attack, Thor wouldn't be able to withstand it at this point in time...

If it is not stopped, the entire Earth will probably be pierced through in one blow and turn into a brilliant firework in the universe!

In this situation, if Thor were to lead the Asgardian quartet directly into the depths of space, he might be able to save his own life before Earth explodes, thanks to the unique physical characteristics of Asgardians.

But if that happens, the few new friends I just met on Earth, especially Jane Foster with whom I've just developed feelings, will surely die along with the Earth, and I'll never see her again!

This was clearly unacceptable to Thor, who had just lost Loki!

Therefore, even though Thor sensed the danger and knew that even if he went all out, he couldn't stop this terrifying energy beam.

But Jane Foster, who stood behind him and placed all her hopes on him...

Thor reached out and grabbed Mjolnir. He stood resolutely in place, prepared to withstand the Destroyer Armor's terrifying attack while desperately trying to deflect it off its original trajectory and into the depths of space!

"To protect the weak, you choose to fight to the death... Yes, Thor, now you look like a true god."

"However, leave the rest to me."

At this critical moment, Max, who had been silently watching the show, appeared silently beside Thor. As a series of binary green numbers appeared on his body, they quickly transformed into Riley's appearance.

He then patted Thor on the shoulder, and in a serious but joking manner, tossed the unsuspecting Thor behind him.

Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, he used his supersonic hand speed to pull the mechanism, changing the magenta camera worn on his waist from horizontal to vertical. He then took out several uniquely shaped cards from a card holder hanging on his side.

"Let me see which one to play this time... Wait, why is there even this? Although they're all 'cards'... can this thing really be used? Hmm, I'll give it a try. Anyway, I have the Dog Talisman, so I can just tough it out myself."

After squinting and examining the card, Riley's gaze suddenly turned strange. He muttered to himself as he changed his hand, which had been reaching for the first card, to pull out the third.

"So powerful! Absolutely too powerful! Well then, I'll activate this card—!"

Blinking his eyes and feigning innocence, Riley praised the power of the Destroyer Armor while simultaneously flicking his wrist downwards, elegantly inserting the chosen card into the magenta camera. He then forcefully pushed it back into its horizontal position.

The entire sequence of actions was executed flawlessly, and before the attack could hit Riley, the magenta camera emitted a uniquely timbreeding announcement.

"Trap Mastery..."

"Magic Cylinder!"

Almost the instant the announcement was made, two strange cylinders, covered with question marks, appeared in front of Riley, seemingly floating in mid-air.

Like a vast ocean embracing all rivers, it completely absorbed an attack powerful enough to destroy an entire planet.

Without giving Laufey any chance to react, it used the exact same force to completely "return" the energy it had absorbed to the Destroyer Armor from another cylinder placed next to it!

In just a single breath, Riley not only switched between offense and defense...

Furthermore, the supposedly indestructible Destroyer armor collided violently with its own highest-power energy beam, instantly turning both into nothingness.

Just like in the story of contradictions, the strongest shield and the sharpest spear ended up destroying each other!
