Thor: I get it!
Scenes of his friends fighting for their lives flashed through his mind, and Jane, who had stayed by his side all along, never once left him.
Thor, once arrogant and self-centered, finally understood.
"Run. I'll stop him."
He halted the four Asgardian warriors, who were already bruised and battered, and stepped forward to face the Destroyer himself.
He stared at the terrifying being in front of him.
Though he had lost his divine power, he still stood to block the Destroyer with nothing but his mortal body.
The four warriors supported each other, watching Thor's back. For the first time, they vaguely felt that something had changed in their brother—Thor was different.
However, while Thor was a symbol of courage, he was not one of strategy.
Now just a mortal, he was no match for the Destroyer.
As Asgard's ultimate weapon, the Destroyer launched a single backhanded punch, sending Thor flying several meters.

Blaine sat atop Warehouse No. 3.
His expression gradually turned strange.
"Damn, why does this plot feel so familiar? Isn't this exactly what happened in Thor 1?"
Although some civilians and Jane were missing, the four warriors of Asgard had still been injured by the Destroyer. Thor still stepped forward to stop it.
Even with my little butterfly effect, since I didn't interfere too much, the plot has stayed on course?
Blaine scratched his head.
The four Asgardian warriors gasped when they saw Thor being flung through the air and rushed to catch him.
As a mortal, Thor couldn't possibly withstand a hit like that. A solid punch from the Destroyer would've shattered his internal organs and killed him.
But before they could reach him—
A familiar force erupted.
A storm suddenly surged.
Dark clouds rolled across the sky, tornadoes formed, and thunder cracked overhead.
Lightning flashed violently, and the wind howled.
Countless cargo containers and Thor's body were lifted tens of meters into the air by the terrifying storm.
BOOM!
CRACK!
Suspended at the center of the massive storm, lightning swirled around Thor like a divine baptism. Thunderbolts roared and coiled into him, crackling endlessly. The sight was awe-inspiring, like the wrath of the heavens had descended.
Clutching Mjolnir and clad in armor once more, Thor squinted slightly, his body greedily absorbing the power around him. Arcs of electricity danced across his form, wild and bright. What would kill any ordinary person felt like an extension of his body.
As his strength returned, Thor finally understood.
The "worthiness" his father Odin spoke of was the willingness to sacrifice everything to protect others.
Back in Asgard, Thor had arrogantly wanted to go to war just because the Frost Giants disrespected him. His pride nearly cost him everything. Odin had stripped him of his power and his hammer and cast him to Earth.
But now—when it truly mattered—Thor had faced death alone to protect his friends. And for that, he was worthy again.
Mjolnir, stored in Warehouse No. 3, sensed its master once more. The power returned to him naturally.
With lightning flashing in his eyes, Thor was back.
BOOM!
The four warriors, still leaning on each other for support, looked at the tornado storm with joy.
"Damn it! I knew Thor wouldn't let us down!"
"Thor, the God of Thunder, has returned!"
"Hahaha! Glorious! Absolutely glorious!"

Blaine and Gali sat atop Warehouse No. 3 as the storm raged around them.
Looking at Thor suspended in mid-air, absorbing thunder and lightning, Blaine felt a small sense of pressure.
Thor was undoubtedly one of the most powerful figures in the Marvel cinematic universe. Whether in lore or visual impact, the roaring thunder and dazzling lightning were incredibly cool. Even now, at just the early stage of his return, Thor was already formidable.
Unlike some heroes or villains who had powerful lore but weak on-screen execution, Thor had both.
He was thunder itself. The destructive power he wielded could sweep away everything. He had no real weaknesses. He could hit hard and tank hits. Only Hulk surpassed him in brute strength—and even then, Thor could still fight toe to toe with him.
Sure, he couldn't fly unaided.
But with Mjolnir spinning in his hand, he could launch himself hundreds of meters into the air. His lightning alone could strike from untold heights. When chasing Loki, he'd jumped out of a fighter jet like it was nothing.
So was it really a flaw? Thor certainly didn't care.
Still, Blaine wasn't too worried.
With his current strength and equipment, he didn't feel particularly threatened by Thor.
His lightning arrows, fired from his Elemental Bow, were easily stronger than Thor's. Not to mention the five daily advanced elemental arrows—those could cause real destruction. Their visual impact alone could blind people.
Plus, Blaine had Lvl.4 Diamond Body, which could save his life in a pinch. Even Thor would have to work hard to break through that defense.
As for Gali...
The girl just found everything more entertaining.
Well, maybe a bit greedy too.
"I'm hungry again."
Gali pouted, staring at the lightning-infused Thor. Her mouth watered. She looked like she might pounce and push him out of the way just to eat those bolts of lightning.
In Gali's eyes, everything in the world fell into two categories:
Edible or Not-.
No there was nothing in this world which was not edible for her. Well except Blaine and that too just because he fed her.

A sudden surge of lightning and storm shook the nearby harbor community.
The tornado soared hundreds of meters into the sky, crackling with terrifying power. From great distances, people could see the storm—and some, with sharp eyes or phone cameras, captured the silhouette at its center.
Suddenly, the world erupted in wonder.
Many believed it was a miracle—a god descending.
Some elderly folks even dropped to their knees and began to pray.
In a country like the United States, where religion thrives, such events spark superstition much more intensely than elsewhere.
