Injustice Superman in Marvel

Chapter 120: The King of Runes



Listening to his father's roar, Thor couldn't help but freeze for a moment.

He hadn't seen his father so filled with battle intent in far too long!

In his eyes, Odin's silver-streaked hair and beard seemed to subtly shift in color, transforming into a radiant golden hue like his own!

And the aged father he remembered had quietly morphed into a vigorous king in his prime, brimming with boundless ambition and a thirst for combat—a mighty god-king!

But…

No matter how great his father was, it couldn't conceal the fact that he was now drenched in blood!

Moreover, his father wasn't just coughing up blood—there was a gaping, gory wound in his chest!

Blood spilled ceaselessly from his heart, and unlike Heisenberg, Asgardians couldn't recover with a mere surge of energy.

Gritting his teeth at the sight of his father's chest wound, Thor gripped his hammer and roared back.

"But your injuries are too severe now, Father! And you said that was your final thunderbolt!

Let me handle this, Father. Trust me, I'll defeat Heisenberg and ensure Asgard's sanctity and glory never fade…"

Boom!!!

Before Thor could finish his bold declaration, Odin lunged forward, seizing Thor's stunned face with his right hand and slamming the naive Thunder God to the ground!

Thor struggled to rise, his face scraping against Asgard's soil, but no matter how he fought, he couldn't break free from Odin's grip!

Then, holding Thor down, Odin bellowed at him:

"Tell me, Thor, if you were me, would you be content to die an old god-king on your sickbed?"

Without waiting for Thor's reply, Odin continued:

"If not, then don't defy my will!

Respect my final battle, respect my clash with Heisenberg.

This is the exchange between the mighty, the last communication between victor and vanquished.

It's not an assassination, not a scheme, not an ambush, not exploitation.

This is the most primal and sacred of battles, and both of us are filled with honor!

One-on-one, until death parts us!"

As he spoke, Odin's blood-soaked right hand gripped Thor's hair, lifting the disheveled prince to meet his gaze.

Clenching his teeth, Odin roared at his son:

"Yet you, Thor, with your feeble strength and naive mind, keep trying to halt this sacred battle.

Do you truly think you can match me, or even Heisenberg, for a single second?

I showed you my final thunderbolt so you'd understand how vast your future path could be!

Not so you'd foolishly forget how weak and insignificant you are right now!"

Boom!!!

With that, Odin hurled Thor far away. Even as Thor struggled against the force, he tumbled across the ground for over a dozen rolls before managing to stand.

But as soon as he rose, he saw his father standing boldly, a look of exhilaration on his face as he bellowed:

"And never, ever underestimate the final trump card of an aging Asgardian god-king!

Never!!!"

With a roar, Odin's right hand shot toward his remaining eye.

Before the shocked gaze of countless Asgardians, Odin endured the agony, gritting his teeth as he gouged out his last eye with his bare hands!

As blood streamed from the empty socket, Odin clenched the eyeball in his right hand and raised it high.

"Yggdrasil!!!"

He roared, and an invisible aura descended, linking to the eyeball in his hand.

"I willingly sacrifice my final eye to exchange for one last surge of power! I need this battle, I need to fight to the very end!!!"

Crack!!!

As Odin roared, he crushed the eyeball in his hand, but it instantly turned to ashes, leaving no trace.

Simultaneously, frenzied thunder erupted within Odin, surging through his body.

It first converged on the gaping wound in his chest, then spread to every injury he bore.

Even his empty eye sockets were now filled with infinite lightning.

At that moment, even the thunder within Thor's body began to pulse uncontrollably.

He felt as though he could no longer harness the power of thunder!

It wasn't that he'd lost his strength—it was that, at this moment, the thunder of the universe had found its true king!

Having sacrificed his final eye, Odin, on the brink of death, had truly become the King of Thunder!!!

Now, as thunder coiled around him, Odin's empty sockets fixed on Heisenberg in the distance.

He began to stride forward, each step sending shockwaves of thunder rippling outward like crashing waves.

"Heisenberg!!!"

Odin roared, breaking into a sprint.

In an instant, he charged toward Heisenberg!

"I've long been doomed, but you must witness the true power of the Aesir!

You may claim victory and honor from me, but you must respect my race, respect our strength!

Come, let's fight! I have little time left!

Come!!!"

Boom!!!

With his final word, Odin leapt forward, covering hundreds of meters in a single bound, crashing directly toward Heisenberg's celestial throne.

Heisenberg, his expression grave, rose from the throne. His right foot stomped the ground, shattering the floor around the throne like ripples in a calm lake.

Using this momentum, Heisenberg moved at a speed Asgardians couldn't perceive, colliding head-on with the charging Odin!

Boom!!!

The explosive impact sent over a third of the Asgardians sprawling to the ground, countless walls and buildings collapsing.

Neither Odin nor Heisenberg held back—their fists slammed directly into each other's faces.

Odin was sent flying backward, but this time, Heisenberg didn't pursue, for he'd been thrown even farther!!!

Odin's divine thunder shredded Heisenberg's skin, leaving two bloody gashes on his face.

Heisenberg's punch, meanwhile, knocked out two of Odin's teeth!

Without giving onlookers a moment to react, the two clashed again. The spectators could no longer see them, tracking their battle only through the shockwaves rippling through the air!

Those shockwaves grew farther and farther apart, moving from the sprawling city to the distant mountains!

In mere minutes, mountains crumbled, rivers flowed backward, and the distant sky erupted with endless currents of electricity and bursts of crimson light.

Frozen mountain ruins flickered with crystalline brilliance, while molten lava oozed down shattered slopes.

In the next instant, half a mountain was hurled into the air, crashing toward the thunder-wreathed figures below!

Thor watched from afar, his heart burning with anxiety. The more he saw, the more he realized the strength he'd always prided himself on was nothing more than a child's fist!

Compared to Odin and Heisenberg, he wouldn't last a second!

Like Thor, Loki, standing beside Frigga, stared in shock.

"Father… he's actually this strong?"

"No, you should say Heisenberg is this strong!!!"

Frigga, standing beside him, gasped in awe.

"Odin's state as the Prime King, wielding Asgard's primal power, I've only seen three times!

Once was when he warred against our Vanir, personally slaying my father Njord.

It was then that he took me as his queen.

The second was 3,700 years ago, when the Planet Devourer invaded the Nine Realms. Even in a weakened state, Odin drove him back with a single spear thrust!

And now, this is the first time I've seen him unable to win in this state!

Loki, my son, tell me—who is this Midgardian god? What gives him such boundless, seemingly limitless power???"

Hearing Frigga's words, Loki swallowed hard, then shook his head helplessly.

"I… don't know."

He hesitated.

"I only went to Midgard to conquer it, hoping to force Odin to oppose me.

Of course, now I'm grateful I failed. Against Odin in this state, I'd have died instantly!

In the end, Heisenberg beat me so badly I was seconds from death.

But he spared me, and I pledged my loyalty. Yet even then, I never imagined the gap between us was so vast!"

Loki looked at Frigga, his mother's divine beauty and the white feather in her golden hair—symbols of the Goddess of Wisdom—offering him no comfort.

He asked solemnly:

"Mother, do you know what Odin's final power is? Since sacrificing his eye, his strength makes the entire universe tremble!"

"I don't know," Frigga admitted, shaking her head.

"After all, I'm Vanir. Though I know many Aesir secrets as Odin's queen, he'd never tell me everything!

As for you and Thor, it seems Thor doesn't know either.

I suspect only one woman could know these secrets!"

"One woman?!"

Loki was stunned. He glanced at Frigga and asked softly:

"I've never heard of Odin having another woman after you!"

"Not that kind of woman—I mean his eldest daughter, Hela!"

"Eldest daughter? I have a sister?!"

Loki was truly baffled now, staring blankly at Frigga.

"Are you sure Odin had other children besides Baldur and Tyr?!"

"Yes, it was a long time ago, before my beloved son Baldur was born—or died—and before I married Odin.

Back then, Hela was the Princess of Death, ruler of the Nine Realms' dead, heir to Asgard's power, the Aesir's sharpest blade, destroyer of the Valkyrie, a traitorous god, and a child Odin sealed away with his own hands!"

Frigga shook her head heavily.

"Perhaps only she knows what power Odin's using now. But if I had to guess, I'd call it the King of Runes!

Because after he sacrificed his final eye, I felt the Aesir runes of love and wisdom he gave me tremble in fear.

It seems he's gained supreme authority over thunder through his sacrifice!

At this moment, I believe Odin now has the power to battle even the celestial manipulators of fate!"

Frigga gently stroked Loki's head, sighing uncertainly.

"But no matter how strong he is now, he's already lost.

This state can't last long. In minutes, his rapidly fading divine power and lifespan will rob him of his strength!

And his opponent, that radiant Earthling god-king…

He could probably fight for three days and three nights!"
