American comics: Starting with Luke the Maker

The dark warrior had already realized that he had probably been tricked by Loki this time. Of course, perhaps even Loki didn't know that there would be this level of guarding power here.

Although that possibility was unlikely.

What the dark warrior couldn't quite figure out was, if you have such powerful technical capabilities, why didn't you add a layer of defense to your own territory? Did you have to wait until we had almost completely destroyed everything before you suddenly released these creations?

Even more incomprehensible to him was, how had Midgard, the weakest of the Nine Realms, grown its technology to this extent? How did they develop under the nose of Asgard? And how could Odin allow them to rise?

However, the dark warrior didn't have extra time to think further. The pressure brought by the two light and dark giants had already left him temporarily unable to attend to other matters, distracting him from thinking about anything else.

After consuming the Aether energy within his body to activate the dark armor, the dark warrior's strength had been amplified to a terrifying level, but even more terrifying was that the two giants opposite him could actually keep up with his strength amplification!

This was simply a challenge to the dark warrior's powerful psyche.

Even Odin might not dare to directly take the full-power Aether energy and dark armor's fierce attack head-on, but the light giant in front of him had taken his bursts three times in a row and still looked unscathed.

The dark warrior could feel that the other party was using some unknown mechanism to weaken and absorb his attack through this energy barrier, but this mechanism was different from Asgard's magic and the energy systems of the other realms. The dark warrior's rich combat experience was useless in the face of completely unfamiliar power, and he could only spend time gradually probing for loopholes.

Unfortunately, the dark warrior realized that the other party was unwilling to give him time to probe.

The lava glow on the dark armor's patterns slowly subsided once again.

For the dark warrior, the dark armor and Aether energy not only meant amplification, but also represented pressure. Even among the dark elves, not everyone could become its carrier and use the dark armor. The combination of the two would certainly elevate a person's strength to a very high level, but correspondingly, they would also bear the pressure brought by the amplification.

Even though he was considered the most powerful individual among the dark warriors, his body could not support him in maintaining the activated state of the dark armor throughout. His body and mind needed time to breathe.

The same was true for the light giant. After the light shield disappeared, it would fall into a momentary period of weakness and stiffness, which was the best opportunity to target it. Unfortunately, according to the previous two experiences, at this time, the dark giant would take the opportunity to enter and entangle and suppress him, giving the light giant time to recover.

This time, the dark warrior was also prepared to deal with the dark giant's impact, but what made him uneasy was that the other party's black double-headed long hammer did not fall on him this time, but instead slammed heavily on the ground.

The dark warrior's heart sank.

Although the dark giant's performance had always been just its brute force and the crushing power of the hammer itself, after seeing the light giant's ability, the dark warrior speculated that the dark giant should also have a similar ability.

The hammer struck the ground, as if it had struck a dark void. The hammer sank into the ground, which had been dyed black by the power of darkness, and black chains shot out from the ground where the hammer was, winding forward and plunging their tips into the night sky.

Clang!

The black chains vibrated, as if pulling something heavy from the void with force. A heavy, black door, three meters high, was faintly visible in the void.

Seeing the increasingly solidified and real dark gate in the air, the dark warrior's heart was alarmed. He didn't know what the dark gate that the dark giant had summoned from the void was for, but he knew very well that he couldn't let the other party successfully summon this gate.

So, regardless of the burden on his body, he forcibly activated the dark armor once again. Feeling the immense force within his body, as if it were about to burst, he forcibly swung his fist.

The body, which had not yet recovered, creaked and groaned in the face of the power that forcibly surged into it. The bones and muscles, which had been tough in the past, now brought the dark warrior incomparable fragility and distension. He seemed to [hear] the sound of muscle fibers breaking under the surge of power.

A child was wielding a heavy weapon that he could not control.

This was the dark warrior's current physical state.

Facing the dark warrior's fist, the dark giant ignored it, because the light giant had already stood in front of the dark warrior. The golden spear charged forward, deflecting the dark warrior's fist.

By the time the dark warrior stabilized his body and charged forward again, the door that had been faintly visible in the void had solidified and been summoned into reality.

The Gate of the Dark Hell.

Creak!

The heavy iron door slowly opened inward, and an invisible suction force came from the crack in the door. As the door opened wider and wider, the suction force inside the door increased without limit.

In just the blink of an eye, everything facing the wide-open Gate of the Dark Hell, except for the two light and dark giants, was subjected to a strong, black hole-like attraction.

The dark warrior, who was closest to the Gate of the Dark Hell, was almost the first to face this suction. His arms slammed heavily into the hard ground beneath his feet, trying to fix his body in place, but the entire ground crumbled like a biscuit in the face of the black torrent. His body slid uncontrollably toward the direction of the door.

Even though the dark warrior had tried his best to break away from the attraction of the Gate of the Dark Hell, it was to no avail.

As the door opened wide, his entire body, along with the crumbling ground beneath his feet, flew toward the Dark Gate.

Two thick arms stretched into straight lines, grabbing the two sides of the Dark Gate. The dark armor on the dark warrior's body seemed to be burning, its patterns brightly lit. Relying on his hands to grab the doorposts of the Dark Gate, he temporarily stabilized his body. But the strong suction force swallowed everything in front of it into the dark door.

The ruins of buildings, the firelight caused by the explosion.

In the eyes of outsiders, wisps of flames snaked into the Dark Gate under its attraction, and the surrounding building fragments were also sucked over, hitting the dark warrior who was blocking the front of the door one after another. Each fragment made the hand he was holding on the doorpost loosen a little. Finally, in the dark warrior's unwilling and angry roar, his entire body, along with piles of debris, was completely swallowed by the Dark Gate.

The dark giant raised its long hammer. The Dark Gate closed, the chains retracted, and everything gradually disappeared from reality to illusion. If it weren't for the mess around and the disappearance of the dark warrior, it would have been as if nothing had happened.
