"From the East, humanity's mightiest warrior, Lu Bu Fengxian!"
As Lu Bu stepped into the arena, the crowd of humans erupted into thunderous cheers.
"This is the decisive clash between gods and mortals, a battle that will determine humanity's fate, the final struggle of Ragnarok!"
"And right in the very first match, we're given a confrontation of legends!"
"The gods' vanguard, Norse mythology's greatest warrior, the berserker of thunder, "
"Thor, God of Thunder!"
"And on the human side, the strongest hero of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, "
"Lu Bu Fengxian!"
…
The cheers grew louder and louder, especially from Lu Bu's former subordinates.
At their head, the strategist Chen Gong was already weeping uncontrollably.
『Heimdall』: This is truly a battle between two of the mightiest beings! The audience's passion has reached its peak!
In the arena, Thor and Lu Bu faced each other in silence, their gazes locked.
From the stands, 『Xiao Ming-ge』 sighed as he watched them.
『Xiao Ming-ge』: These two both look terrifyingly strong…
And indeed, whether it was Lu Bu or Thor, both had towering physiques radiating with raw power.
Xiao Ming-ge himself was tall and lean, standing at one meter eighty-five, but as someone from the modern world, his build couldn't compare to Lu Bu's monstrous strength.
Of course, in his world, raw muscle didn't determine everything.
『Xiao Ming-ge』: That Heimdall really is annoying.
『Carl』: Hah, he's even worse than the Heimdall from my world.
Carl, who came from the Marvel universe, knew a very different Heimdall, the noble guardian of the Bifröst, a righteous and honorable warrior.
But this Heimdall, the referee of the divine arena, openly mocked humanity, even calling Lu Bu a "foolish mortal vanguard."
It was enough to make anyone grit their teeth.
If Carl were in Lu Bu's place, he would've already thrown a punch.
BOOM!
The sound of a warhorn thundered through the arena. Heimdall had blown the Gjallarhorn.
Legend said that once its call resounded, Ragnarok, the war between gods and mortals, had truly begun.
This moment carried the weight of fate.
The gods brimmed with confidence in Thor, their champion, for his renown spread far across the pantheon.
His opponent, after all, was "just a human."
『Heimdall』: The strongest god versus the strongest human, let the battle begin!
He withdrew to the side to continue his commentary.
And yet, to his surprise… neither warrior moved.
Both men simply began striding forward, closing the distance between them step by step.
Not just Heimdall, even the audience grew restless.
Only a few sharp-eyed onlookers realized what was happening: neither cared about the opponent's technique. Both were only interested in the raw clash of strength.
The crowd roared louder.
Meanwhile, in the cross-world chat group, members erupted in chatter:
, , , , ,
『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: (o) So that's Lu Bu and Thor?
『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: Honestly… they're not quite what I imagined.
『Shirley』: Mhm…
『Shirley』: Lu Bu's appearance… is kind of hard to explain.
『Commander of the Great Wall Defense Army』: Agreed.
『Pink-Haired Vessel』: Come on, Lu Bu!
, , , , ,
Back in the arena,
The two closed in, their auras swelling.
Lu Bu spun his halberd several times, then, with a snarl, swung it down with brutal force.
At the same instant, Thor brought Mjölnir crashing forward, lightning crackling around him.
Both were confident.
Both had lived their lives winning battles in a single decisive strike.
But this time…
Sparks flew as weapon met weapon.
The halberd and the hammer clashed, neither giving way. Energy surged in brilliant flashes.
Lu Bu raised a brow, then roared as he poured more strength into his strike, forcing Thor back.
The god of thunder staggered, driven a dozen steps away.
And in that instant, Lu Bu lunged. In the blink of an eye he was upon Thor, leaping high, halberd raised overhead.
Thor raised Mjölnir to block,
CRASH!
The impact shook the arena.
Lu Bu was thrown back by the rebound, but Thor too was forced onto the defensive.
And then it was Thor's turn to charge forward, hammer swinging as Lu Bu braced his halberd to meet him.
Back and forth they went, each clash echoing like thunder, neither gaining ground.
『Heimdall』: Unbelievable! The two are evenly matched, this is an unprecedented development!
The humans in the crowd went wild.
『Crowd』: Go, Lu Bu!
『Crowd』: Amazing, he's fighting a god on equal terms!
Even the gods themselves looked shaken by the scene.
, , , , ,
In the chat group, however, the mood grew strange:
『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: =???? (???*) Uh…
『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: This is what counts as a god?
『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: Honestly… I could probably do this myself!
In her world, gods could casually reincarnate mortals into other realms, or erase her existence outright.
So when she heard the word "god," she imagined overwhelming power beyond comprehension.
But seeing Lu Bu and Thor brawling like mortals in an arena?
『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: I swear, I could take their place!
『What to Do About My Chuunibyou Little Sister』: Yeah… this isn't what I expected either.
『Skyblade King』: +1
『Commander of the Great Wall Defense Army』: +2
, , , , ,
『Xiao Ming-ge』 frowned.
『Xiao Ming-ge』: So this is what counts as a god…
At first, he had been nervous about facing deities.
But now… seeing this?
He was starting to feel confident he could win.
As for Carl, he never doubted. From beginning to end, he believed he could wipe out every so-called god here.
Back in the arena,
After another clash, Thor retreated, lightning arcing across his arms as he gripped Mjölnir.
His body tilted backward, as though he were about to collapse.
『Heimdall』: He, he's lost his balance, he's falling!
『Heimdall』: No… wait! This is his battle stance!
Thor planted Mjölnir on the ground, stopping his fall, and held the pose.
Everyone knew what that meant.
He was preparing a technique.
From the stands, 『Xiao Ming-ge』 blinked in disbelief.
『Xiao Ming-ge』: …What the hell is that?
Those few seconds of buildup, he could've killed Thor a hundred times over using the power of 555 or Kabuto.
『Xiao Ming-ge』: These gods are seriously…
He couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.
And why wasn't Lu Bu attacking during this long windup?
BOOOOM!
Thor's body erupted with lightning.
From the seats of the gods, Zeus smiled faintly.
『Zeus』: The game is over.
『Shiva』: Indeed.
But Carl, with his cosmic hearing, caught their words and chuckled darkly.
『Carl』: Pathetic weaklings.
To him, this Thor wasn't even as strong as the Marvel version he knew.
A move with such a long windup? He could only see it as an act of suicide.
In the arena, lightning gathered around Mjölnir.
Thor's technique had a name, Hammer of the Thunder God.
