Chapter 169 Who are you?
Earth.
The Rocky Mountains.
Amidst the lush, green mountains, a silver streak and a golden flash collided.
In the instant of their collision, they can appear a kilometer away from each other.
Even so, this was already the speed at which both of them were suppressing their own power as much as possible.
In the sky, with each explosive leap of the silver streak, the occasional flashes of lightning slammed into the earth, leaving streaks of charred black.
Countless forests were struck and burned by such lightning, but a very few survivors were able to find a chance to live amidst the thunderous roar.
Another punch.
Icarus narrowly dodged Thor's attack, and the thunderous lightning instantly tore through the air. In the blink of an eye, the unknown mountain peak was sheared off a small piece at its tip, even though there was no contact whatsoever.
Icarus was in a very dangerous situation, and in doing so, he threw Thor over his shoulder.
However, Thor's ample combat experience allowed him to quickly take control of the situation, and he also managed to pin Icarus to the ground once again.
Icarus tried to fight back, the gold stripes on his blue armor flashing, but he failed amidst an even sharper burst of thunder.
In the end, Icarus could only helplessly accept the fact that he was inferior in skill. He gently patted Thor's hand that was holding him down, which finally made the other party release his grip.
"Alright, I admit defeat. You're really strong now."
Icarus stretched his joints and couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.
Okay, he's always considered himself the strongest of the Eternals, and at one point even believed he could lead the Avengers, but now it seems—
Too young.
Still too young.
Thor let out a hearty laugh and patted the man on the shoulder, his familiar manner resembling that of Gilgamesh sparring with him back in the day.
"You're pretty strong now, buddy. And my current power isn't entirely my own."
At this point, Thor had not reached that abnormal old age state, but still existed here with normal blond hair, even though a few whiskers had seeped into his chin, they were still a healthy brown.
The two playfully wrestled and flew together toward the raft prison.
However, during the flight, Icarus vaguely sensed the worries of his friend beside him.
Compared to John Walker, who stepped into a higher level through his own will, or Bob, who simply cheated without any logic, or even Adam, who became a cosmic god through the underlying rules, Thor has always had a sense of anxiety.
That sense of crisis of not being strong enough was even like the feeling I had when I wanted to follow Thanos to take revenge.
But at that moment, when he picked up the Stormbreaker, he truly felt he could crush everything, and he wasn't intimidated at all, even when facing the six gems.
But now.
He was truly exhausted from facing one enemy after another.
It's not about the mind, but about the physical strength.
His strength did indeed grow rapidly, and with Hanlu's help, he even reached the pinnacle of a single universe.
But as the ten guardian spirits left one by one, you see, even though everything was still the same, in the blink of an eye, he felt that his realm was becoming more and more distant.
He doesn't seem to be as powerful as he imagined.
But he must be as powerful as he imagines.
Thor thought this way; he even suspected that Hanlu disapproved of him because his current strength couldn't keep up with John's, or perhaps Bob's.
As a friend, he wished them well.
But as a soldier, he felt ashamed of being left behind because of his weakness.
That's why he would ask Icarus to be his sparring partner.
After all, Adam, who has become a rule of the universe, is not suitable to fight against in some ways.
Because the opponent wasn't a warrior at all; they were a mage.
Unfortunately, even though Icarus still retained the power of the talisman and had reached the level of a powerful Godfather to some extent, he was still somewhat inferior to Thor, who was radiant and at full power at this moment.
Thor couldn't quite describe his current state. Under normal circumstances, with Stormbreaker, he should have reached the top tier of the Skyfather level.
If I were to reach an old age, I would be able to achieve a size comparable to a single universe—but only in terms of combat capabilities.

Moreover, they are at a huge disadvantage when encountering rules or established, powerful tools.
Only when the power of those ten guardians was infused into him, coupled with the advantages of the Asgardian domain opened by his younger brother, did he have the confidence to truly face those veteran single-target warriors.
However, good news also arrived for him.
Thor was planning to go to the cafeteria for a good meal as usual, and the food supply had indeed been getting better and better lately.
After all, with the large number of various industrial machine tools left behind before the Cold Dew solar term, many people have already begun to get their lives back on track.
They even discovered a wild and untamed land beneath the Antarctic continent, a primeval forest covered by ice sheets, where dinosaurs lived. They even went there and caught a few to taste.
As he moved his hands, he suddenly felt as if he were being summoned by something.
He raised his head and gazed up at the deep blue starry sky.
As the power of thunder flowed into his eyes, he felt as if he had made some kind of connection with something.
It's somewhat like Heimdall back in the day, or perhaps...
He knelt on one knee, began to look up at the starry sky, and held his Stormbreaker in front of him.
In the forest, he began to fall silent and chant.
"Great Odin, Father of the Gods! If you are still here, please give your lost child some guidance, and I wish to reconnect with you."
Thor caught the signal, whether it came from divine power or magic, he couldn't tell.
That kind of elder-like kindness and gentleness subconsciously reminded him of a deceased relative.
but--
When the call began to follow his memory and come toward him, he was surprised to find that he seemed to have called the wrong person.
He felt as if he were being dragged by something, his soul instantly leaving his body, just like when he was soaking in the Minerva Springs and comprehending the Infinity Stones.
This time it's just much stronger and unstoppable.
When he opened his eyes again, it was as if he were in a huge black world.
At the bottom of that endless canyon, his body felt as if it were bearing an immense burden—
Of course, it's nothing compared to his current strength—
But he still raised his head, looking up at the tall, shadowy figure hidden deep in the darkness before him.
He knew very well that the call came from them.
But he didn't recognize them and had no memory of them.
Now, Thor, who is believed to have come here to deceive him under the guise of a family member, is undoubtedly furious.
He roared:
Who are you?
