Chapter 217: C210
"It amazes me that such a backward civilization can produce a strong individual like you. However, be warned—a single wrong choice could bring disaster upon you."
Laufey's low voice resonated ominously.
To Wanda, his words were nothing but empty rhetoric. She snorted coldly. The world trembled in response.
As she raised her hands, bloody energy surged outward, spreading like a sentient wave toward Laufey and the Frost Giants. Recognizing the danger, Laufey's expression grew tense.
The atmosphere was saturated with Wanda's overwhelming magical power and Haki. Anyone caught in it would suffer a devastating double blow—both physically and mentally. For Laufey, his own combat effectiveness might merely be reduced, but his army would almost certainly be obliterated in an instant.
Though the Frost Giants were physically resilient and highly resistant to magic, even their formidable endurance paled in comparison to the might of a Sky Father. Laufey had already assessed Wanda's strength—it was on par with the most powerful beings he had ever faced.
Still, Laufey wasn't about to back down. Not when the Casket was within reach. Victory in this war would grant him what he desired most.
With a deafening boom, Laufey raised his right hand to the sky. A massive storm of freezing air and frost erupted, its fury threatening to consume everything. The sheer force of the storm temporarily neutralized Wanda's offensive.
Now, the battlefield transformed into a clash of two worlds: on one side, an endless winter of ice and snow; on the other, a bloody, hellish purgatory. The two realms collided violently, unleashing bursts of lightning and sparks that lit the chaos.
The ground quaked, as though the apocalypse itself had arrived.
The Frost Giant army, Sif, the Warriors Three, and the Avengers could do little but watch. At this level of combat, they were mere spectators, unable to intervene. For the first time, they bore witness to a confrontation far beyond anything human imagination could grasp.
The frost could freeze all in an instant, and a mere glance from either combatant could shatter a lesser being's soul. The upheaval of the world seemed beyond comprehension, leaving onlookers drenched in sweat.
