Chapter 123: Against Thor III
As the clash reached its peak, the arena bore the marks of their titanic struggle—craters in the ground, shattered stone pillars, and an atmosphere charged with energy. Dave and Thor stood panting, their bodies battered but their spirits undeterred.
Thor glanced at Mjolnir in his hand and noticed a deep crack running across its surface. For the first time in centuries, his legendary weapon—the pride of Asgard—showed signs of wear. His eyes widened momentarily, but then a hearty laugh escaped his lips.
"You, Dave Garcia, are no ordinary mortal," Thor said, his voice booming. "To damage Mjolnir... it seems the legends of Midgard have yet to catch up to your might."
Dave smirked, wiping blood from the corner of his mouth. "Guess we're even now. But I'm not done yet."
Thor tightened his grip on Mjolnir, despite its fractured state. Lightning surged around him once more, his determination unwavering. "Neither am I!"
With that, Thor leaped into the air, bringing Mjolnir down with a ferocious strike. Dave, anticipating the attack, focused his haki into his fists, his entire body glowing with a fierce aura. As Mjolnir descended, Dave met it with a haki-infused punch, creating a massive shockwave that shook the entire arena.
The crack in Mjolnir widened further, and with a deafening sound, the hammer shattered into pieces, its fragments scattering across the battlefield. Thor was thrown back by the force, landing heavily on the ground, his hand trembling as he stared at the remains of his weapon.
The crowd gasped, stunned into silence. Even the Asgardian warriors who had been cheering were struck speechless by the sight of Mjolnir's destruction.
Dave stood tall, breathing heavily but still composed. His voice cut through the silence. "It's over, Thor. You fought well—but I have faced better. ANd Even gods can fell not to mention their Weapons."
Thor slowly rose to his feet, his hand still holding the broken handle of Mjolnir. Despite his loss, he grinned. "You're right, Dave Garcia. Even gods can fall. And today, you've proven yourself worthy of standing among them."
He extended his hand toward Dave, a gesture of respect. Dave hesitated for a moment before stepping forward and shaking it firmly. The crowd erupted into cheers, their awe turning into admiration for both warriors.
