American comics: I became a god at the beginning, I chose to practice both science and magic

Ai Cui sighed silently: "Thor, you are still the same."

He had given up trying to explain to Thor what liquid metal was. This guy probably wouldn't understand anyway.

"Let's not talk about that anymore." Thor's expression changed, and he said eagerly, "Since you have armor and weapons, why don't you try a traditional Asgardian duel with me, relying solely on physical strength and weaponry?"

"Hmm?" Dane raised an eyebrow. "Seriously?"

"Of course, if you don't use divine power, it should be difficult for you and me to die with our abilities."

As for injuries?

It is common for Asgardian warriors to get injured during sparring. When Thor was very young, he was stabbed in the kidney during a sparring with Loki, but he was still fine.

The martial people in the Divine Realm are least afraid of getting hurt. Scars are a warrior's medals. As long as the injuries are caused by facing the enemy head-on, it is an honor.

Well, very Mangzi style.

Seeing the nervous look on Thor's face, Dane knew this was the fight he had been expecting.

If you think about it carefully, you will understand that among all the friends Thor knows, Dane is probably the only one he doesn't have to worry about accidentally killing by not holding back.

People like the Three Warriors of Asgard or the Valkyries are actually not worthy enough for him to take seriously, let alone be his opponents.

It is no wonder that Thor is over a thousand years old, but his strength has hardly improved much. When his strength is sufficient most of the time, his strength will naturally stagnate.

No wonder he was so arrogant before and impulsive enough to try to flatten the Frost Giant's hometown by himself.

But Dane made him feel the pressure, which was a good thing.

Because this means that Thor may have the possibility to reach a higher level.

"It's not impossible...but are you planning to fight here?"

Given the strength of both of them, Nidavik is not really a suitable battlefield.

"Of course not. We can go to the world of dark elves."

Dane was a little surprised. Wow, Thor, the guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, has become a sinister person now.

Strictly speaking, Watalheim, the world where the dark elves live, no longer belongs to the current real universe, but is located in another world filled with dark energy.

This dark energy is different from the dark energy in the real universe they are in now.

In the current universe, dark energy refers to a type of matter that is invisible and imperceptible under normal circumstances, hence the term "dark." In modern physics, energy and matter are not clearly separated; they are one and the same.

But in Watalheim, the dark elves can fully perceive and utilize dark energy.

Although their overdevelopment has made Watalheim desolate, the Dark Elves' use of dark energy has profoundly and permanently changed the local environment.

This means that outsiders who do not belong to Wat Alheim will be suppressed to a certain extent when using other forms of power that do not belong to dark energy in the local area, just like dancing with a heavy load.

Thor proposed to fight here, obviously wanting to use this natural magic-forbidden area to minimize the reliance of both sides on divine power, superpowers and other forms of power, and to maintain the fairness of the duel to the greatest extent possible.

He just wanted a hearty, flesh-and-blood fight, but not to be beaten. Even someone as confident as Thor didn't think he could win against Dane, who had used all his skills.

However, if other forces are restricted and fighting is done only with physical fitness, combat skills and equipment of the same level, the final result will be uncertain.

Anyway, Thor thought that if Dane didn't have those weird superpowers and spells, he wouldn't necessarily lose based on pure warrior fighting skills.

Dane finally agreed to Thor's suggestion.

Ai Cui on the side said that he must witness this battle that is destined to go down in history with his own eyes, otherwise he will not be able to sleep or eat.

The three of them entered Wat Alheim through the Rainbow Bridge.

Most of the dark elves here were transferred to Earth by Umbrella several years ago. Now there is no living creature except the deserted scenery.

Aitri didn't know that the dark elves had made a comeback a few years ago and were defeated at the speed of light.

His impression of the dark elves still remained at the time when Malekith was defeated by Bauer and his entire clan was destroyed, so he was not surprised by the dilapidated scene of Watalheim before him.

I just sighed, “This place is shit!”

Staying in this place, even he could feel the discomfort all over his body, just like a fish living in an inner lake suddenly coming to the deep sea, feeling uncomfortable everywhere.

Thor and Dane felt this even more clearly. Their previously light bodies now seemed much heavier, and the power in their bodies that did not belong to this world became sluggish. To use it, they needed to expend greater strength and energy.

But this is the effect Thor wants. Only in this situation can the true combat effectiveness between each other be verified.

After discarding all external divine powers, relying solely on his own control over his body, the use of weapons, and his understanding of combat, who is stronger between him and Dane?

Everyone thinks Thor is not smart, but he has lived for thousands of years, so he can't really be a fool.

He had read Umbrella's physical examination report on Dane back in Sokovia. The report proved that under normal circumstances, Dane's physical fitness was actually roughly the same as his own.

This is not disparagement, but praise.

After all, the Asgardians' natural physical fitness is well-known in the universe. Unless there is a freak like Thanos, few people can compete with them in terms of innate conditions.

Even the Eternals' synths actually have basic qualities comparable to those of the Asgardians. Ikaris is the strongest of the ten, claiming to be invulnerable to swords and guns, but wasn't he still defeated by the mutants?

But if they are the gods of Asgard, then with the support of divine power their physical fitness can reach a jaw-dropping level, and even help them resist some more extreme injuries, just like Superman's biological force field.

Similarly, Thor knew that Dane's previous defense, which was so strong that it was almost indestructible, was mostly due to the cosmic energy in his body. If he lost this cosmic energy, his physical fitness would not be much different from that of the Asgardians, about three times the level of the earthlings.

That's why Thor wants to have a real fight with him, as Thor thinks Dane is like another version of himself.

Therefore, he believed that their fight would enable both sides to make progress in combat.
