Chapter 279: Thor’s Hammer

Finally, there was a lull in the action

The Star Alliance had but one est under heaven – Dei, Poseidon and Zeus

All three remained silent, and watched as the remnants of the previous collisions subsided It was quite an awesome display Even alien species would have been stunned by the incredible result And all of it passed in less tiasp

One of DreamNet’s functions was called the Competition analysis Tool, or CAT For a fee, viewers could download a high-definition recording of the event, calibrated for close scrutiny It allowed you to speed up and slon the action, and view it froles

The set price tag for this session’s video was ten times what spectators paid to be present in Drea to DreamNet’s advertisers, was that they had to pay out a lot to entice God-ranked pilots to participate This was a way to recoup losses

It was due to the steep asking price that, when the battle started, only about a hts were pre-sold If only three fights occurred and a winner chosen, some of the funds would be returned

By noever, those nued One million had since swelled to over seven million Further, about a hundred ht The sheer profit for Dreah to fathom

The one-ar Poseidon and Zeus Everything was quiet, and yet an all-consu sense of anticipation filled the audience It was like a powder keg, the blood in their veins turned to gasoline – they could erupt at any second

Then, Thor was in motion!

Lan Jue was calm as the surface of a lake, but if anyone were able to peer in to the si across his eyes An oppressive aura of power surrounded him

What had started as four on five had changed dramatically with Prometheus’ sacrifice Now the hters were overfloith battle fervor

Thor rushed forward, in what to the untrained eye appeared to be a straight shot However, closer inspection would reveal that the h the air But as Thor charged, the audience was surprised to discover that its electric spear was nowhere to be seen Unarmed, ould Thor’s powerful weapon reappear, they wondered?

As Thor moved, so too did Triton The sea-blue mecha fell in behind his electric counterpart like a shadow Where Thor went, Triton followed precisely It was like they were the same person, the same mecha

One, Poseidon and Zeus were touted as Dreareatest duo There were two-person team battles, but they were rarely done once a pilot reached God-ranked Still, despite their lack of presence in the arena lately, no one could deny their near-perfect cooperation

Those who knew the Monarchs realized that it was no coincidence the two of then! Pro to fruition

Starlord did not stand idly by, and wasas well The Starblade lashed out to the side of hi, while the mecha itself once more adopted an illusory quality The audience looked on as deafening blast of rolling thunder filled the arena

The skies overhead suddenly burst in to blooht was contained in a strange, warped corona of energy Starlord’s suddenwith dozens of twinkling stars – swiped it away

“This is… Thor’s Hammer!” Mo Xiao’s voice cried in astonishment “Thor has made his move Wow! This is the fabled Thor’s Hammer!?”

Each high-level God mecha had its own special moves Some were more passive, and it defined their explosive capabilities, energy reserves and more Others were more dominant on the battlefield Hades, for example, revealed his with the hellfire Cannon

Thor was no exception Aside from his combat abilities from pilot maneuvers, Zeus still had powerful strikes up his sleeves One such terrifying attack was Thor’s Hammer

Anyone who looked in to Thor on any level will have heard of Thor’s Hammer However, the number of people who’ve actually seen it and lived to relate the fact was very close to zero After all, most of the opportunities where Thor would use it have been hidden behind the blanket spectator ban in Drea But even now that they see it, the move was hard to describe All they kneas that after the explosions, the screens went dark

Outside of specialized ineers, Thor’s Haht up enough for a mecha suit to be manufactured in such a way as to make the attack possible Not only was Thor’s Ha power, but it also served as an electro-netic pulse The EMP fried any electrical syste suit controls No defensive or repair procedures could drain away the current in less than three seconds It wasn’t long, but in battles like this three seconds was enough to determine victory or defeat

So it was that Thor finally used his hammer, before the eyes of billions of viewers It had been intangible, indescribable, and e But how in the world was Starlord able to foresee it?

Nearly the ain, Thor’s body had begun to gloith a violet aura of energy In a blink the God of Lightning was before Starlord, punctuating his arrival with an intensive release of explosive power Three piercing rays of electric blue light fired out like a pitchfork They were pointed to the precise spot Starlord needed to go in order to avoid Thor’s Hammer
