In stark contrast to Loki's breakdown, a look of wild ecstasy quickly appeared in Peter's eyes.
At this moment, a system notification was echoing in his mind:
[Detected Gold-tier item: Destroyer!]
[An artifact crafted by the All-Father Odin with countless painstaking efforts. Although it requires divine power as a driving energy source to unleash its maximum combat power, even without divine power, its infinite restoration characteristic can allow the user to turn danger into safety time and time again.]
[Sacrifice to obtain sacrifice points: 70,000! Do you wish to sacrifice it?]
Wow~ Gold-tier Legend!
The moment he saw the price tag of 70,000 sacrifice points, Peter's eyes lit up immediately.
This was undoubtedly the largest single income he had received since obtaining the system!
With a price tag as high as 70,000 points, this single haul surpassed his hard-earned gains from the previous month!
It made him, who had originally been set back to square one, experience the feeling of sudden wealth once again.
Without the slightest hesitation, Peter directly muttered in his heart:
"Sacrifice!"
Although this Destroyer was quite tempting, firstly, it really didn't suit Peter's aesthetic.
Secondly, its functions overlapped with the Witch Rider armor.
More importantly... this thing wasn't even Peter's to begin with!
If he didn't sacrifice this armor now, once that old fart Odin regained consciousness, he would definitely take the armor back directly.
By then, he could only watch helplessly as the treasure in his hands flew back to someone else's treasury!
Therefore, sacrificing it immediately was the choice that maximized his benefits!
Hum~!
Accompanied by a strange spatial fluctuation, the next second, the Destroyer vanished into thin air, without leaving even a single scrap of Uru metal behind.
This scene left everyone present completely dumbfounded.
Fandral couldn't help but rub his eyes, thinking he had seen things.
As for Sif... her eyes weren't just lingering on him; she was practically shooting hearts out of them!
To be able to completely destroy an artifact like the Destroyer.
It's love~ Oh no, I can't hide my gaze~!
However, before she could make a move, another beautiful figure had already acted a step ahead of her:
"Peter, are you okay?"
Who else could it be but Natasha?
Peter's previous "faked death" was just to tease Loki, but he hadn't expected to reap an unexpected harvest!
Facing Peter's "death," Natasha could no longer hide her inner feelings, completely revealing her favor and concern for Peter.
This also allowed her to see her true feelings for Peter clearly.
She wasn't trying to test her charm on him, nor was it simply hormones controlling her brain.
She had truly fallen in love with this powerful and domineering big boy.
Therefore, facing Peter's resurrection, Black Widow could not control her emotions at this moment.
At this moment, she completely ignored the gazes of others, wanting only to confirm that her beloved was truly safe and sound!
Facing the scorching gaze of a stunner like Black Widow that was almost enough to melt a person, Peter was somewhat unable to handle it.
Just as he was hesitating about how to handle her unmasked concern, a seven-colored light descending from the sky helped him out of the awkward situation.
The Bifrost Bridge!
The moment they saw the Bifrost Bridge, Sif and the others couldn't help but perk up.
They thought Heimdall had sensed something wrong and had specifically sent troops to support them.
But when the light dissipated, their expressions instantly turned extremely ugly.
Because the "army" that had descended before them was none other than a group of blue-skinned, red-eyed Frost Giants!
Especially when he saw the face of the leader, Thor couldn't help but clench his fists!
"King of the Frost Giants" Laufey!
Laufey, having descended to Earth, greedily took a breath of Midgard's air, his cold gaze sweeping across the surroundings.
"Revisiting an old place always brings up some unpleasant memories."
His voice was hoarse, like ice cubes rubbing against each other, and his tone was filled with high-and-mighty arrogance.
"Although a millennium has passed, this place remains a rich Planet. Perhaps after I regain the casket of ancient winters, the road to the Frost Giants' revival can begin here."
Seeing his disdainful and arrogant demeanor, Thor and the others finally realized how punchable their own attitudes had been before.
Thor's explosive temper was instantly ignited:
"Laufey, how dare you violate the All-Father's decree and appear in Midgard?"
"Hm?" Laufey instinctively turned his head to look, and intense killing intent immediately appeared in his eyes:
"Who did I think it was? So it's that little princess who only knows how to cause trouble? Don't be impatient. After I capture that Midgardian named Peter Parker, you'll be next!"
Hearing Laufey directly call out his name, Peter was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized that this was another one of Loki's tricks.
Seeing that the Destroyer was ineffective, he just called all the Frost Giants to Earth, huh?
It seems that the dual-god resonance state he displayed really made this guy Loki quite envious.
He didn't even care about acting in front of Odin and Frigga anymore.
Thinking of this, Peter narrowed his eyes unconsciously.
Since you have already actively invaded Earth, and you're coming for me, too.
It would be a disservice to myself if I didn't fleece you for all you're worth!
Come to think of it, this guy's blood should also be worth quite a lot of sacrifice points!
With that thought in mind, Peter made a decision instantly.
He stepped forward, shielding the others behind him, and asked:
"Did Loki send you?"
"That brat doesn't have the qualifications to order me around; it's just a transaction."
Because the Grit on Peter had dissipated, and he wasn't using the dual-god resonance, Laufey didn't think there was anything special about Peter, and his tone was naturally extremely contemptuous:
"Vile mortal, be sensible and come with me directly. At least you'll suffer less, and fewer of your kind will die."
Facing Laufey's contemptuous words, Peter chose to respond directly with his fists.
Whoosh!
Stepping on the Moonwalk, he instantly appeared in front of Laufey, his fist, covered in Armament Haki, striking straight at the other's face.
Laufey was taken aback by the speed Peter burst out with, but after all, he was someone who, in his youth, could go head-to-head with Odin for a period of time using the casket of ancient winters.
Therefore, he reacted quickly, swiftly raising his arm to attempt a block.
Clang~
A loud sound that made people's eardrums ache rang out, and following that, Laufey involuntarily took half a step back.
Such great strength!
A trace of astonishment flashed in Laufey's eyes.
But this astonishment was quickly replaced by annoyance.
Did he, the dignified King of the Frost Giants, not need face?
To be repelled by a lowly Midgardian, if such news were to spread, how would other races in the Universe view them, the Frost Giants, in the future?
He must make this Midgardian pay the price; he must wash away this shame with his blood!
With this thought, Laufey let out a roar, and bone-chilling frost quickly condensed on his arm.
This frost, like maggots on a bone, spread along Peter's fist, and in the blink of an eye, it completely froze most of Peter's arm!
