Then one of Scar King's arms was chopped off!
There was no hindrance at all, it was as easy as a hot knife cutting through butter.
And this hand is exactly the arm that Scar King uses to hold the snake bone whip!
As the huge arm rumbled to the ground, in just a moment, Thor's beast-like instinct found an opportunity, so he swung out Thor's hammer fiercely. Thor's hammer Mjolnir flew out wrapped in lightning, and as the lightning flashed, cracks appeared on the hammer of Thor's hammer.
That is the gap after Thor's hammer broke into pieces. Normally, the fragments of Mjolnir would gather together. As long as the 'special effects' were not triggered, it would be hard to tell what was wrong with the artifact. At most, one would think that the patterns on the artifact were a bit unique and complicated. However, as long as the 'special effects' were triggered, the gaps would be completely revealed.
After all, it is a divine weapon. It is not so easy to destroy it.
Otherwise, Odin would not have kept the Frost Box after he got it. You know, this thing can only play its best role in the hands of the Frost Giants. If someone else takes it, it really can't play its full power. For example, after Kai got it, he only made the temperature of the North and South Poles return to a few decades ago. It is impossible to make the whole earth return to the Ice Age. But the Frost Box in the hands of the Frost Giant King Laufey can really make the whole earth return to the Ice Age.
Therefore, in the hands of Odin and Asgard, this thing is at most a magical weapon of decent power, not a big killer. Asgard is not short of this thing, but leaving it in Asgard is the biggest hidden danger.
If this thing returns to the hands of the Frost Giants, they will definitely launch an all-out war again without hesitation.
But if this thing doesn't return to the hands of the Frost Giants, they will hate the Asgardians for eight lifetimes!
Odin has always wanted true peace in the Nine Realms, but it is difficult. Although the Nine Realms were unified under Odin, this unification is more like the ancient Chinese system of control. Controlling the barbarians with the barbarians, governing according to their customs, is different from ordinary prefectures and counties. "Records of the Grand Historian: Biography of Sima Xiangru: Soyin" explains: "Control is the head of a horse; Mi is the earthworm of an ox." "Han Gongyi" says: "Horse is called control, and cow is called Mi, which means that controlling the four barbarians is like controlling cows and horses." The so-called "control system" is a national policy adopted by successive feudal dynasties in multi-ethnic countries towards minority areas with backward social development.
When the ruling power of successive feudal dynasties developed to various ethnic minority areas in the border areas, the first historical fact they encountered was that the political, economic and cultural development of each ethnic minority was relatively backward, so it was impossible to apply the same method to rule. Therefore, the question of what policy to adopt to rule these ethnic minority areas arose. As the ruling power of each dynasty in ethnic minority areas gradually deepened, the policy measures to solve the problem of ruling ethnic minority areas became more and more complete. This is the origin of the establishment of the "Jie Mi System" in ethnic minority areas. In the entire historical process of the emergence and development of this system, the most basic essence has not changed, but in different periods, some phenomena or specific measures have been different. For example, in the Qin and Han dynasties, the indigenous leaders used were given titles of "king", "marquis" and "town chief", which was called "Jie Mi". In the early Tang Dynasty, the Zuojiang, Youjiang and Hongshui River basins in Yongguan were relatively backward in all aspects of economy and culture. The Tang Dynasty adopted a different method from the Guidong area to rule, and established 44 Jie Mi states, 5 Jie Mi counties and 11 Jie Mi villages. These states, counties, and villages used the old nobles among the ethnic minorities to rule politically, maintained the original mode of production economically, and were content with collecting tribute. This was the essence of the "control system."
In terms of politics, it met the wishes and demands of the ruling class, consolidated the rule of the feudal dynasty, and enabled the ethnic minorities in the border areas to maintain peace and stability for a long time, and also brought convenience to the stationing and management of the frontier troops. In terms of military, the vassal prefectures and states were controlled and commanded by the garrisons of the prefectures and states, becoming the reserve force of the Tang military and serving as the reserve army of the feudal dynasty many times. In terms of economy and culture, the vassal prefecture and state system also provided convenient conditions and institutional guarantees for enhancing economic and cultural connections and exchanges between various ethnic minority areas and the Central Plains.
Of course, Odin's methods are cruder than this.
He basically only achieved military conquest, forcing the other side to surrender, or even just verbal surrender, and had no real political power at all.
For example, the frost giants surrendered quickly after losing, but they did so even faster. They would start fighting again when they got back to their hometowns. They would not even bother to pay tribute or even verbally submit. As for becoming a reserve force for the military and acting as a reserve army for the dynasty, that was out of the question.
In this case, Odin's best option is to destroy the Ice Box.
Because this is the optimal solution.
After all, destroying the Ice Box would completely cut off the Frost Giants' thoughts. As for hatred... haha, if the Ice Box is not destroyed, the Frost Giants have not said that they are friendly to Asgard.
But in the end Odin didn't do that.
Is it because they don't want to? Obviously, this thing has limited significance to Asgard. Whether it exists or not, the frost giants will not change their attitude.
Of course it’s because it can’t be destroyed!
This thing is a real artifact. First of all, it takes a lot of effort and the cost is too high to destroy it. Secondly, after it is destroyed, it may cause other troubles if not handled properly, because these artifacts often represent some kind of rule-like power.
For example, destroying the Ice Box and letting its power burst out all at once to create an eternally frozen world would be a lot of fun.
The Atlanteans did this kind of thing in the past. In order to obtain unlimited energy, they went to study the Neptune's Trident. As a result, the power of the Neptune's Trident exploded and directly sank the continent of Atlantis... This is the lesson!
Only the Trident of Neptune is still intact and has not been destroyed. If it were really destroyed, who knows what would happen. It might be a global flood, or even another Carnian alluvial event. (The Carnian flood event refers to a mass extinction event that occurred 2.33 million years ago, during which the climate was in a humid period for more than 200 million years. In addition to causing the extinction of some species, the event also sent dinosaurs to the throne of the king of the earth. Climate warming has led to increased rainfall. As early as the 80s, geologists Mike Sims and Alastair Ruffer discovered that the earth's humid period lasted about one million years. At that time, due to geological upheavals, various volcanic eruptions occurred, and the eruption emitted a large amount of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, causing global temperatures to rise rapidly. Climate change dealt a heavy blow to the diversity of marine and terrestrial organisms, but soon after the extinction event, new species swarmed on the earth and formed a more modern ecosystem. The earth's humid period lasted about one million years. Climate change dealt a heavy blow to the diversity of marine and terrestrial organisms, but soon after the extinction event, new species swarmed on the earth and formed a more modern ecosystem. In short, it rained for a million years... Of course, this is an exaggeration.)
So the Ice Box remained in Asgard and was later given to Kai.
As long as it doesn't fall into the hands of the Frost Giants, there will be no problem!
The same goes for Mjolnir. The artifact is not so easy to destroy. Only the surface is broken. There is no problem with the real core of the artifact.
So Mjolnir is still usable now!
And new features have been developed!
Seeing Thor's hammer heading for the crystal, Scar King didn't care about Kai's Dimension Slash, since it wouldn't hurt and wouldn't kill him. Suddenly, a thick and long tentacle stretched out from Scar King's body and hit Thor hard.
This move was so unexpected.
Scar King had never used it before.
So Thor got hit and was smashed into the ground again.
But the problem is that after Thor's hammer is thrown, Thor does not need to be there to assist, because others are very smart.
So Scar King immediately ignored Thor and moved his tentacles to attack Mjolnir again.
But at this moment, Mjolnir shattered into countless pieces, and each piece of debris, with blue electric light, rushed towards the crystal from all directions!
Scar King and Gel also didn't expect this move, they could actually play it this way.
This is also a new move that Mjolnir developed after she was broken. To be honest, Mjolnir herself didn't expect that she had such a function. It's really useful. After all, in the past, no matter what, it was a one-shot deal. If you hit it, you hit it. If you don't hit it, forget it.
But now it’s different. I’m divided into hundreds of parts, and can attack in various postures and angles. Let’s see how you dodge!
It’s a bit like the fairy flying with swords in the fairy tale.
Although the power may have decreased, the variations have increased.
Even under the development of the Valkyrie leader Brunhilde, there are various ways to play.
For example, when thrown out, it is a sky full of stars, but when it is about to hit the enemy, it suddenly gathers into a complete Thor's hammer and smashes the enemy's head.
Or they can be reassembled, such as turning into a sword, or a whip... Well, it's the Assassin Wu Liuqi's magic sword Qianren, or Shen Gongbao's Sky-Splitting Thunder Whip in Nezha 2. Mainly because Brunhilde is a Valkyrie, and her weapons are smart weapons like swords... She doesn't like hammers.
This made Mjolnir quite distressed.
There are people who don't like hammers!
The hammer is a symbol of a fierce general!
This weapon is relatively simple. In terms of structure, there are three types: long-handled single hammer, short-handled double hammer, and chain hammer. No matter whether it is called a drum-beating golden hammer or an eight-sided plum-blossom bright silver hammer, etc., in terms of structure, it cannot escape the three types I just mentioned. In fact, the history of hammers is very long. As early as the Paleolithic Age, stone hammers used for hunting had already appeared. Of course, most of our knowledge of the performance of hammers during war comes from novels. For example, Huang Tianhua in "The Romance of the Gods", Ma Yuan in "The Biography of Liu Xiu", Wang Shuang in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", etc. You will find that in all Chinese classical novels, the masters who use double hammers or single hammers are basically fierce generals, with extremely high martial arts values, but extremely low strategy values, and they always have personal accidents. Li Yuanba, Pei Yuanqing, and the second prince of the Jin Kingdom in "The Legend of Yue Fei", who originally had greater strength than Yue Yun, ended up running into the wrong set and entering the plot of the King of Gold and Silver Horn in "Journey to the West". Someone next to him shouted at him, and he turned around and was killed.
Stone hammers, bone hammers, metal hammers, war hammers appeared earlier in human history than swords. After all, picking up a stone and tying it to a stick is simple and convenient, and it is quite powerful. From the ape-man to the Neolithic Age, people gradually polished the shape of the stone hammer to be more exquisite and practical. The reason why the war hammer became an important weapon on the ancient battlefield is simple: it is much more destructive to armor than swords. Swords are sharp, but they are often powerless in the face of heavy armor. War hammers are different. Their heavy blows can directly destroy armor, and even cause fractures or internal damage to the enemy. Simply put, swords "cannot cut" armor, while war hammers "smash it flat first." However, since the main function of the war hammer is to break armor, rather than to chop and kill, it is often used as a secondary weapon, paired with main weapons such as spears and bows and arrows.
In short, the hammer is the symbol of the strongest and most perfect. How can a Valkyrie like you not like the hammer? ! !
That human was pretty good, but it was a pity that he already had a hammer, otherwise Mjolnir would have had a bright future in his hands, but there was nothing he could do as he was preempted by another hammer!
Fortunately, it is now back in Thor's hands.
To be honest, although she dislikes Thor, Thor truly loves her, and they are really compatible. If Mjolnir wasn't so stupid, he might really change his mind.
After returning to the hands of a familiar person, Mjolnir immediately exerted 120% of its power.
Countless fragments whizzed towards the huge crystal in a dazzling manner.
At this time, even the snow demon who pressed Godzilla to the ground raised his head and looked over here.
She hoped more than anyone else that someone could destroy that broken crystal!
But at this moment.
Ger surprises everyone again!
The broken arm suddenly moved, and it suddenly turned into a tentacle... alive!
Then he opened his mouth and rushed towards the fragments of Thor's hammer!
However, when Thor's hammer is complete, it possesses unparalleled power and super armor-piercing ability... Blunt weapons are like this. She can smash a mountain into ruins with one hammer. But after it is separated, although it no longer has this ability, it has piercing damage!
This tentacle looks scary, but in the end, that's all it is.
Puff puff!
With a series of strange muffled sounds, the fragments of Thor's hammer easily pierced through the tentacles and continued to fly towards the crystal.
However, their efforts soon came to nothing!
Because the crystal snake bone whip had turned into a real snake and was running towards Scar King quickly!
