I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

But Thor's hammer, Mjolnir, could claim the lives of hundreds of Chitauri soldiers with each strike.

On the battlefield, every flash of lightning and sparks caused the entire earth to tremble.

"Hahahaha, you bastards, bring more people to spar with your grandpa Thor!"

Thor shouted excitedly, gripping the leather strap on the handle of Mjolnir and shaking his wrist to make it spin rapidly.

At this moment, Thor's hammer was surrounded by lightning, like a rapidly spinning circle of thunder.

Then, he hurled the rapidly spinning Mjolnir into the sky, striking the Chitauri behemoth that had just emerged halfway out of the wormhole.

Thor's hammer pierced through the head of the Chitauri behemoth. A second later, lightning crackled inside the behemoth's belly, and it was blasted into countless fragments by the thunderous explosion from Thor's hammer.

Countless limbs of the Zeta Swiss soldiers, charred black by the lightning, fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

It has to be said that Thor's combat power is simply too formidable.

Compared to the balanced version in the movie, this Thor is more warlike and powerful.

This is closer to Thor's fighting power in the comics.

This was largely thanks to Thor's formidable performance; otherwise, given the current strength of the others, New York would likely have fallen long ago if Thor hadn't provided timely support.

Just as Thor was enjoying the thrill of the battle, he suddenly noticed that the Chitauri soldiers were attacking at a slower pace, and the number of enemies around him seemed to be decreasing.

"What's going on? It suddenly doesn't feel as good as before!"

Thor held a Zeta Swiss soldier's head in his hand, watching as more and more Zeta Swiss soldiers poured out of the wormhole in the sky, with a large portion of them diverting in another direction.

He cursed angrily, "You bunch of cowards, you don't even dare to come to your grandpa?"

But the Zeta Swiss soldiers only glanced at the roaring Thor before heading towards their assigned areas without looking back.

Thor knocked the Chitauri soldier in front of him away with a single blow, then spun Mjolnir in his hand again before forcefully throwing it out.

This time, however, he did not let Thor's hammer slip from his hand; instead, he let the hammer carry him into the air.

He flew high into the sky and looked in the direction in which the Zeta Swiss troops were splitting up.

A man in armor was being relentlessly attacked by Zeta Swiss soldiers.

"Depp!"

Thor said with delight.

However, he immediately noticed that there were even more Zeta Swiss soldiers surrounding Depp than there had been surrounding him earlier.

Moreover, these Zeta Swiss soldiers came from all directions.

It seems that a significant number of troops were diverted from the four wormholes to besiege Depp.

Although Thor greatly admired Depp's abilities, seeing Depp being surrounded and attacked by so many Chitauri soldiers still made him worry for Depp.

After all, he came from an unknown little place like "Gotham City," and a technologically advanced realm at that. Thor felt that Depp's physique was no match for that of an Asgardian.

"Looks like I'll have to help this old friend out!"

Just as Thor was about to go and help Depp out of the predicament, Depp simply removed all his armor, exposing his body to the Chitauri's attack.

"Has Depp lost his mind?!"

Thor exclaimed in surprise when he saw Depp remove his armor.

According to his understanding, Depp had been wearing this suit of armor ever since he first helped him defeat the Destroyer.

That means Depp needs the defensive capabilities provided by this armor to ensure his safety.

But now, Depp has actually removed his armor while being besieged by thousands, or even tens of thousands, of Zeta Swiss soldiers.

Not to mention, more and more Zeta Swiss soldiers are constantly arriving in the vicinity.

This is simply unbelievable. Thor doesn't believe that Depp's physique could undergo any earth-shattering changes in just a few months.

After all, this doesn't conform to the growth pattern of the gods!

Thor then realized that the Chitauri general with the ability to "control everything" also seemed to possess the ability to bewitch people and even possess other people's bodies.

"Could it be that Depp has been possessed by that guy named Ebony Maw?"

Thinking of this, Thor became even more anxious. He immediately urged Mjolnir to fly rapidly toward Depp, hoping to save him before he was killed by the Chitauri.

But just as Thor accelerated, Depp's eyes emitted two white, hot rays imbued with a strong aura of lightning.

The heat rays fired by Depp penetrated directly into the last layer of the Zitalian soldiers surrounding him.

Depp showed no mercy. With his full power, the soldiers pierced by the heat vision were almost instantly vaporized from the waist down.

Watching this long line of Zeta Swiss soldiers whose bodies were vaporized, their heads and limbs falling to the ground with a thud.

Thor, who was advancing with Mjolnir in hand, suddenly came to a screeching halt, his face filled with disbelief.

"Holy crap! What kind of move is that?"

It has to be said that Depp's attack directly killed at least a hundred Zeta Swiss soldiers, and his killing efficiency was no less than Thor's!

Depp's attack was incredibly powerful, at least giving Thor quite a fright.

Thor thought to himself, "Although the Asgardian gods are said to grow stronger with age, reaching their peak power only at the moment of their death."

But it's only been a few months. Even the Asgardian gods couldn't possibly grow to this level all at once, right?

However, Depp's performance has only just begun.

Chitauri, right?

Don't let me see you guys in New York, or I'll kill you all with one look!

Then, Thor saw that the two beams of heat emitted from Depp's eyes, which were initially parallel, gradually began to tilt to opposite sides.

In the end, the two heat rays formed an extremely long straight line, nearly 180 degrees long and almost a kilometer long.

This is one of the special techniques Depp learned from the Homelander clone to use heat rays.

Depp calls it... "Heat Ray - Laying Down Mode"!

At the same time, Depp also saw Thor in the sky.

He greeted him, "Good evening, Thor. I think you can rest for a while now!"

After saying that, Depp flew close to the ground at an extremely high speed. As he moved forward rapidly, the bodies of all the Zeta Swiss soldiers who were touched by the heat rays were vaporized and disappeared in an instant.

Just a second later, Depp had killed at least tens of thousands of Zitalian soldiers.

After flying to the rear of the Chitauri army that was besieging him, Depp performed a low drift and turned back.

Given the density of Zeta Swiss soldiers here, there are almost no surviving civilians left.

The civilians here have either already fled to other cities for refuge, or have long been torn to pieces by the Zeta Swiss soldiers.

Therefore, Depp's attack was completely unrestrained. He carried a heat beam that spread out at 180 degrees and moved back and forth on the ground and in the air at an extremely fast speed.

Just one minute later, all the Zeta Swiss soldiers who had surrounded Depp were wiped out, leaving only limbs and the ugly heads of the Zeta Swiss soldiers scattered on the ground.

After clearing the area, Depp stopped releasing heat rays, got up, flew to Thor's side, and said, "Long time no see, Thor."

Thor snapped out of his surprise upon hearing Depp's greeting.

Looking at the countless remains of the Chitauri soldiers on the battlefield beneath him, Thor was utterly shocked.

Just how many secrets and hidden tricks does Depp have up his sleeve?

Thor didn't know, and didn't want to think about it anymore.

Otherwise, his pride in being the strongest among the younger generation of the Nine Realms could easily be shattered.

"Long time no see. By the way, what kind of move was that just now?" Thor couldn't help but ask.

Depp's eyes flashed, and he said, "You mean this? I call it a heat ray."

"Heat rays..." Thor asked, "Was this very common in your time?"

Depp thought for a moment and said, "Probably... only one or two people would know how."

Anyway... Superman definitely counts, Depp thought to himself.

Thor breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. If this level of move were a skill that everyone on Depp's side knew, it would be terrifying.

After exchanging a few words, Depp resumed his battlefield cleanup mode.

This was a true sweeping advance; no Zeta Swiss soldier could withstand the Depp heat rays for even a second.

Furthermore, Thor was surprised to find that Depp was completely unconcerned about the attacks from the Chitauri soldiers.

Depp let the attacks hit him without showing any signs of injury, and his clothes were not even torn.

This guy's defense has actually increased to this level.

Is this guy... a monster?

If everyone in Gotham City grew up at the same rate as Johnny Depp, that would be absolutely outrageous!

Thor suddenly felt a sense of crisis, as if Asgard's status as the ruler of the Nine Realms was about to be shaken.

However, what Thor didn't know was that although Depp himself wasn't injured, his clothes had already been completely destroyed by the Zeta Swiss soldiers' ray attacks.

The current Depp is merely using Quentin Baker's illusion technology to construct a virtual suit around his body.

Queens, being far from the wormhole portal, has never suffered the carpet-bombing by the Zeta Swiss soldiers.

But now, several squads of Zeta Swiss soldiers have noticed this place and are scouting and slaughtering the remaining humans.

Peter Parker, wearing his self-designed armor, used homemade spider silk to wander between buildings, occasionally taking down the scattered Zeta Swiss soldiers one by one.

He currently lacks any large-scale destructive means or skills, so he is basically relying on his physical abilities to fight against these invaders in a very straightforward manner.

Just as Peter was swinging across the spider silk, kicking a Zeta Swiss soldier through the window, and then kicking him in the chest, making the chest cave in, he suddenly felt a strange sensation coming from the hair on his arm.

This was his newly awakened, still somewhat immature, rudimentary spider sense.

Because Peter's spider sense is still in its early stages, he was unable to dodge the attack coming towards him.

To Peter's horror, a white, glowing rope, crackling with lightning, bound him up and dragged him straight out of the house.

Because he was floating in the air, he couldn't exert any strength at all.

Although his movements were suddenly restricted by the enemy, Peter remained calm in the slightest.

During this time, he has been secretly training people in Hell's Kitchen and doing good deeds.
