The battle between the shadow and the newly emerged Thor, rocked their surrounding as the shockwave of their clash spread in an omnidirection, blowing away nearly everything away from the fight scene.

'Not yet.'

'I must survive!'

'There's no way I'll let that demon destroy anymore lives!"

The sight of hammer parring the jet tentacles was intense. The shadow fought with the lightning head-on, burnt the nearby flora while the land got dehydrated.

Thor couldn't help but to curse his current state because in the eyes of others, it a one-sided beating as he could only avoid one-third of the tentacles.

Furthermore, the damaged he received felt like hundreds of hammers were smashing his limbs. Even though this world was considered a dream world but the accurate phrase could be a spirit world or dimension.

This is the place where higher species used to meet each other. The fact that Thor managed to survive and stay in this realm was quite a miraculous enough. It was because no one had ever survive such harsh environment.

Legend tells that those who managed to survive will able to transcend their mundane self thus increasing their understanding of the unknown matter.

The berserk youth was rampaging in the forest when its whole limbs frozen unexpectedly. The motionless vessel felt like a marble sculpture from the museum. Although the demon was immobilised, the smoke emitted from his body still constantly producing the fume.

The sound of the blowing wind could be heard clearly as the noise pollution caused by the roaring demon had stopped. The remnant flame from the chaos was still burning the flora which got caught on fire.

Furthermore, the black smoke had created a thick haze that will suffocate any living thing in less than an hour. The vision will be compromised while the breathing rate will increase drastically. The clean air had been polluted by the amount of chemical mixing in it.

Moreover, the scene had caused a stampede which turned some unfortunate animals into carcasses. A few of them had been dead for hours based on the state of the decaying body. The air was being polluted by the stench of the bodies.

"Those foolish humans will never know about it."

"That's is in their nature after all."

"Hmm. I wonder if this is the end."

Julies who was talking to himself eagerly would caused anyone to suspect him as insane. The way he spoke to himself felt like there was another person besides him.

Suddenly, a staff emerged from a burst of light. It was gold in colour and possessed some ancient greek influence on it judging its design. Four pairs of wings spread out from the purple crystal ball while the twin black serpents appeared to be after the crystal as their heads were below their goal.

"Caduceus."

"What do you want?"

Then, the staff answered his question by emitting a yellow light which blinked a few times. Others might find this weird because the staff which is an inanimated object could communicate with human.

Furthermore, an archaic writing was crafted on the staff. If scientists were to examine these writing, they may assumed that the staff had existed before the existence Egyption dynasties. Ordinary people might find this staff as ancient relic which is boring but to some "educated" scholars or scientists would shed tears of joy.

Back to Julies who was annoyed when Caduceus was pestering him non-stop. The sentient staff kept on poking him from almost every direction.

"Alright! I'll do it so stop harrassing me!"

"Even with the power of the raging fire, I still couldn't defeat the Emperor."

"The scar that he gave me still hurt as hell."

The red crystal shine as something exited from it. The serpents suddenly went on to bite the object before gliding toward Julies' waist. Both of them attached themselves alongside the mysterious object onto the waist.

"Let's do this!"

'Wait for me, Indra!'

'I'm coming, brother.'

Thor was wounded as his left knee felt onto the ground supporting his weaken body. His breathing rate was quite fast as if he just complete a marathon run.

'He's…really…strong.'

'How many…times…do I…have…to…cut…that damn tentacles?!'

The armor which he had on him dissappeared leaving only the previous figure of Livius. His left hand held onto the handle of Mjolnir, using the hammer as a support.

The battle between the two ended up badly for the inner Livius as he got pinned down with red liqiud flowing from his wounds. Bruises had covered nearly 30 percent of his bodies while his clothes was torn.

'I need help but who.'

As he was totally immersed in his thought, something shone in his shirt which scared the shadow away. His eyes were widen upon witnessing the newly emerged necklace. Blue light which emitted from it, forced the shadow in the defensive stance.

{Remember Thor.}

{When you're in trouble, this necklace will protect you.}

{Dip it with your blood to call for your brother.}

{No matter how capable a person is, one cannot do everything alone.}

The sight of a bearded man wearing a golden Asgardian armor appeared in his mind. He could only see the sight of the thick red beard as the figure spoke. When he smiled, the sight of white and flawless teeth was revealed.

He could not see the old man's face but the way the latter spoke contained a familiar feeling to the young thunder. The familiar feeling regarding the old man caused Thor to feel some sort of confusion because he did not know him yet his limbs reacted otherwise.

(Whoever you are out there, please!)

(Lend me your power!)

The cry of the thunder shall call forth the "new" ally. A beginning chapter of a new legend is about to be made. The cry shall unleashed the thunder of the world.
