Chapter 343: Chapter 343: The Carnage Demon King
"Clang!" Diana quickly understood Robert's intent, their mutual understanding being quite solid. As soon as she saw Robert charging forward, Diana swung the Sword of the Fire God towards Frigga to hold her back.
At this moment, Robert had already charged forward, his fist aiming at Frigga's head, surging with tremendous power and energy. The force was so intense that even before his fist could reach her, it was already blowing Frigga's hair about.
In fact, Robert could have maintained distance and used his Qi Gong waves to attack Frigga, which would have put even greater pressure on her, allowing him to distract her and alleviate some of the pressure on Diana.
But when Frigga engaged in battle with Diana, Robert found it hard to control his strength to only target Frigga. It was only when Diana was clearly losing ground and Frigga was preparing to capitalize on her victory that Robert found the right moment to launch his attack and disrupt her.
This mode of combat could be sustained against Frigga for a while but not for long, as Diana's healing rate was significantly slower than the damage Frigga inflicted on her. The divine power of Zeus was now completely suppressed by Odin's might.
Thus, to break the deadlock, the full integration of Robert's combat abilities into this battle was essential, seeking an opportunity to turn the tide.
"Boom!" Robert's fist collided with Frigga's palm, the ground of Asgard's Grand Hall beneath her feet cracked open, but at that moment, Robert felt a terrifying force emanating from Frigga's palm, and his body was flung backward.
"Buzz!" As Robert's body was suspended mid-air, a strong wind pressure emerged, as if trying to blow him even further away.
Facing this move, Robert's brow furrowed, releasing his psychic energy to form a psychic barrier, and a Qi barrier also formed around his body, blocking the wind pressure from Frigga.
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
Two successive sounds were heard—the breaking of Robert's psychic and Qi barriers. However, despite the barriers shattering, Robert's body did not fly further back; instead, he stabilized his body in mid-air and forcefully landed, unleashing two Qi Blade Slashes from his hands aimed straight at Frigga's chest and neck!
Compared to hellish beings, the bodies of deities like Frigga still resembled human anatomy. Despite their more robust vitality and higher life rank, such injuries still greatly affected them…
"Hmm?!" So, as the Qi Blade Slashes approached, Frigga's pupils shrank slightly. She felt a strong sense of danger, and while Robert's current moves might not have been as power-packed as before, they posed a greater threat to her!
"Whoosh!" Frigga's longsword met the first Qi Blade Slash, forcefully annihilating it, her sword remaining unscathed. However, the force of the Qi Blade Slash still transmitted to Frigga's arm.
More importantly, after the Qi Blade Slash was annihilated, numerous sharp Qi fragments pierced through Frigga's body, Asgardian divine blood spilling out. The Asgardian soldiers, witnessing this scene, became furiously enraged, their duty being to protect Asgard's royal family and its people. Seeing the Queen of Asgard wounded by Robert boosted the morale of the entire Asgardian army, uniting them as one.
At that moment, Robert's second Qi Blade Slash also reached Frigga. She spun her sword blade in an arc in mid-air, aiming at the Qi Blade Slash...
"Whoosh!" But this time, the Qi Blade Slash was not struck by Frigga's sword; instead, it shattered into numerous smaller Qi Blade Slashes, slicing towards Frigga's body with much greater ferocity than the previous sharp Qi.
If these smaller Qi Blade Slashes struck Frigga, they would do more than merely cut through flesh and spill divine blood—they had previously injured the Archangel Rachel as well!
"Buzz!" Unfortunately, Robert's efforts were thwarted. The strange force that had previously blocked the Sword of the Fire God reappeared. Robert faintly saw something on Frigga's chest emitting light and energy, eventually forming a barrier akin to a psychic shield, successfully blocking the Qi Blade Slash.
However, the Qi Blade Slash was not entirely ineffective. As it was blocked, the object on Frigga's chest dimmed completely, its energy seemingly drained by the Qi Blade Slash.
But at this time, Robert wasn't the only one fighting Frigga. Diana certainly wouldn't miss such a prime opportunity to attack. The moment the light disappeared, the Sword of the Fire God, carrying unstoppable force and divine power, slashed towards Frigga's body!
"Whoosh!" A pool of divine blood charged with divine power was sprayed into the air, far more than the blood from Robert's previous sharp Qi cuts. Yet, Frigga wasn't slain on the spot by Diana. In a critical moment, Frigga dodged the fatal strike to her chest, the Sword of the Fire God slashing through her battle armor and cutting across her waist instead.
Visible at Frigga's wound was a clash of two starkly different forces: the continuous injury from the Sword of the Fire God and Frigga's own divine power resisting each other.
At this moment, a roar erupted from the side. It wasn't just one person shouting; it was thousands of Asgardian soldiers crying out together. Asgard was indeed vast, and its soldiers, considered formidable warriors on Earth, lacked the ability to fly, making their advance across the lengthy Rainbow Bridge take some time.
But now, the Asgardian soldiers had finally caught up. They drew their weapons—spears, swords, long blades, and shields, each weapon shimmering with divine power, a testament to Asgard's enchanted weaponry. These weapons, while not as mighty as Thor's hammer or the sword currently in Frigga's hand, were significantly stronger than the laser weapons developed from Vibranium in Wakanda. Not only were their shields nearly as durable as Vibranium shields in terms of defense, but they also far surpassed Vibranium weapons in offensive capabilities and sharpness.
This was precisely why the Asgardian soldiers were able to forge a formidable reputation throughout the Nine Realms and the cosmos. Without their reliance on physical quality and such a specialized civilizational development, it would have been difficult for them to grow so strong in the universe.
At this point, as the Asgardian soldiers arrived, they showcased Asgard's prowess, firing lasers from their weapons towards Robert, preventing him from launching further attacks at Frigga.
Facing the dense barrage of laser attacks, Robert couldn't entirely ignore them. While he could resist a few hundred lasers, facing tens of thousands was another matter entirely, compelling him to dodge.
"Rumble!" A terrifying explosion echoed across Asgard's gateway, forcing not only Robert but also Diana and Frigga to evade, the ground trembling violently and a vast chasm opening on the battlefield.
Had the ground not been much deeper than the walls, a spatial rift would have emerged there, potentially even more chaotic than the disturbance already caused by the angry Asgardian soldiers.
"You handle them; I can manage Frigga for now, she's injured and her strength has decreased significantly!" Just as Robert dodged the Asgardian soldiers' coordinated assault, Diana's voice reached his ears.
Feeling Frigga's current weakened state compared to before, and noting that Diana was not significantly affected by her own injuries, in fact, her aura seemed to rise due to the ongoing fight, Robert wasted no time. He charged towards the Asgardian soldiers, understanding that the quicker he dealt with these issues, the sooner he could assist Diana.
In an instant, Robert appeared before the Asgardian soldiers. At this close range, they couldn't use their magical lasers without risking hitting their own.
"Boom!" With a punch, Robert directly struck an Asgardian soldier who quickly raised a shield—similar in style to Diana's divine power shield—to block. The shield absorbed the impact, but the soldier was sent flying back into a row of his comrades. While the Asgardian's shield was not much weaker in defense compared to a Vibranium shield, it significantly lacked in terms of force dissipation.
Although the Asgardian soldier blocked Robert's punch with his shield, the force behind the punch was not fully mitigated. Not only was this soldier temporarily incapacitated, but those he crashed into were also rendered combat ineffective.
The Asgardian soldiers indeed possessed great strength, being even more formidable than super-soldiers and equipped with enchanted weapons. This formidable army, if placed on Earth and barring the use of ultimate weapons, could likely conquer the entire planet. Unfortunately, they were still far outmatched by Robert.
"Whoosh!" After dealing with a row of Asgardian soldiers, Robert prepared for further attacks as more soldiers began their counter-assault, their enchanted long swords slashing towards Robert's head.
"Crack!" However, while the Asgardian soldiers' weapons were strong, they were no match for Frigga's sword or Heimdall's Rainbow Bridge Sword. Robert's hand emitted a Qi blade, slicing through the Asgardian soldiers' swords and, in a swift motion, severing several heads.
Blood sprayed across the ground, but Robert felt no disturbance in his heart. These Asgardian soldiers, having chosen to confront him, were his enemies. Regardless of who these enemies were, Robert would not show mercy.
Indeed, it had been a long while since Robert had indulged in such slaughter. Under the influence of Clark and the Kents, Robert had tried to minimize killing to avoid trouble, though demons and those deemed incarnations or avatars of a Demon King were no longer considered human in his eyes. Even so, Robert's movements were relentless, weaving through the ranks of Asgardian soldiers. Their reaction speeds were far from slow, as evidenced earlier when one soldier managed to block Robert's punch with his shield and simultaneously mount an offensive. But once Robert fully unleashed his power, the Asgardian soldiers could no longer keep pace. Every move he made was lethal, targeting the soldiers' vulnerabilities. The soldiers renowned throughout the Nine Realms for their prowess struggled to mount an effective counter against such a skilled killer, although they did not break and flee.
Instead, witnessing their comrades falling one by one, even as their bodies were often beyond saving, the soldiers' rage intensified. They charged at Robert fearlessly, determined to kill this great demon to avenge their fallen brothers and to continue upholding Asgard's honor.
They were ready to sacrifice their lives if necessary!
As Robert faced this tide of enraged soldiers, his actions became even more decisive. The battlefield was chaotic, a testament to the ferocity and bravery of the Asgardian soldiers. Each one, powered by enchantments and armed with lethal weaponry, was a formidable opponent. Yet, they faced a foe whose abilities far surpassed their own.
Robert, moving with precision and deadly intent, seemed to be an unstoppable force. His blows were not just aimed to incapacitate but to kill, a grim necessity given the circumstances.
The clash was brutal. Each soldier that fell did so with honor, believing in the righteousness of their cause. The field echoed with the sounds of combat, the clash of metal, the cries of the wounded, and the roar of those still fighting. But despite their valor and numbers, the soldiers could not gain the upper hand against Robert, whose combat experience and raw power overshadowed theirs.
Meanwhile, Diana continued her engagement with Frigga, seizing the opportunity Robert's distraction provided. She was relentless, her sword driven by both vengeance and duty. Despite her injuries, her strength seemed to swell with each passing moment, a testament to her divine heritage and her warrior's spirit.
Back at the frontline with Robert, the relentless assault by the Asgardian soldiers did not cease. They advanced in waves, each soldier eager to be the one who might bring down this formidable enemy. Yet, with every wave that crashed against him, Robert stood firm, a solitary but unyieldable force amidst the storm.
As the battle raged, the ground littered with the fallen, Robert's mind was clear, focused solely on the fight. Each strike was a blend of technique and raw power, each block a calculated risk. The Asgardian soldiers were strong, but Robert's determination and strength were on another level entirely.
The cries of battle, the clash of weapons, and the determination of the Asgardian soldiers filled the air, creating a symphony of warfare that resonated across the field. Yet, despite their efforts and sacrifices, the outcome seemed increasingly inevitable. Robert's prowess in battle was simply too much for even the bravest of Asgard's warriors.
