"Damn it! This is really bad now!"
Tony Stark stared in horror as the massive meteor descended closer and closer to the earth, his expression utterly grim.
If the meteor couldn't land inside the blood pool and instead struck the ground directly…
Who knew what kind of catastrophe would result?
After all, this was the meteor described by the system as powerful enough to pierce the Earth!
It might actually destroy the planet!
The thought alone made Tony want to punch himself—
Why did he pick such a reckless and uncertain method?
Right now, the one looking even worse than Tony… was Strange.
He, too, realized the terrifying consequences.
Let's not forget—he was the one who had used the Apocalypse Revelation Staff.
If it truly led to Earth's destruction…
Then he would be the one to blame for obliterating the planet!
The crushing weight of that guilt seized every single cell in Strange's body, paralyzing him with unbearable pressure.
It felt like his very life could shut down at any moment.
The two of them now looked so pale, they didn't even resemble living humans.
"Those two idiots…"
From a distance, the Ancient One, who was currently taking down a thousand-meter monster, sighed helplessly when she noticed what was happening.
She was about to go resolve the meteor problem herself—
But someone was even faster.
Whoosh!!
A sharp, powerful slicing sound tore through the sky.
Part of the massive meteor was instantly sheared off!
Before anyone could react—
More sword-light arcs appeared in the sky, instantly cleaving off the excess portions of the meteor that couldn't enter the blood pool.
And then—
Countless sword beams formed an enormous net, shredding all the excess debris into fine dust!
Everyone was left stunned by the sudden development.
Even though it was over, their minds replayed the scene on loop.
"It's Lord Odin!"
An Asgardian soldier shouted excitedly.
Immediately, all eyes turned skyward.
There—
Odin hovered atop a flying steed.
His battle robe outlined a body that, though aged, still carried the strength of youth.
His red cloak billowed in the wind, his posture noble with the raised Odin's Sword, and his dignified gaze that radiated authority without anger—
In this moment, Odin looked every bit like a god descending from myth to save mortals.
A figure to revere.
Boom boom boom!!
Right then, the meteor pieces—now the perfect size thanks to Odin's cuts—crashed straight into the blood pool.
Exactly into the center.
"Whooo… whooo…"
Seeing this miraculous turn of events, both Strange and Tony couldn't help but breathe huge sighs of relief.
Their eyes remained locked on the blood pool, anxiously waiting for the result.
If not for the monsters still attacking, the others would've gathered to witness the outcome as well.
"What's going on in there?"
Tony peered suspiciously into the blood pool.
He'd imagined an earth-shattering explosion the moment the meteor struck—
But it was strangely calm.
As if someone had simply tossed a rock into a pond.
"Don't tell me… it did nothing?"
Tony couldn't help but question if this so-called planet-piercing Apocalypse Revelation Staff had even worked.
"How should I know? I've never used it at full power before!"
Strange turned red with embarrassment and snapped back.
In truth, he was just as unsure. He had never dared use the staff at full power before. He had no idea what kind of effect it should have.
Blub blub blub!!
Suddenly, the blood pool began to bubble violently.
Bits of strange, mangled limbs and mechanical fragments floated to the surface—
And then massive monster heads began surfacing, each bearing the unmistakable look of painful death.
"It worked!"
Strange cried out with joy.
"It did! Looks like the meteor smashed a ton of monsters on the way down!"
Tony added excitedly.
BOOOM!
Just as he thought it was over—
The blood pool suddenly erupted in a massive red tidal wave, shooting into the sky like a geyser.
"Uwoooooooo!!!"
A terrifying, guttural roar bellowed from the blood pool—
And from its depths emerged a massive creature over a kilometer long.
Its body was entirely crimson, covered in pustules and freakish whiskers. It resembled a grotesque giant red snapper.
The monster spewed blood as it roared, flailing its enormous fins.
With every flap, the sheer force and frequency of the fin strikes launched droplets like high-speed projectiles—
Each one triggering massive chain explosions upon impact with the ground!
There was a gaping hole in the monster's back—likely from the meteor strike.
"Damn it! It's still not over!"
Tony cursed as the monster emerged.
"What now?!"
Even a weapon said to pierce the Earth had failed to completely stop the blood pool from spawning horrors.
Strange grew more and more desperate.
He quickly scanned the battlefield, searching for the Ancient One.
At this point, he felt only she could help.
Whiiiirrrrrr!!!
But in the very next instant—
A brilliant spear of light pierced through the sky and stabbed straight through the fish-like monster's head.
The grotesque behemoth immediately collapsed—
lifeless.
The owner of the light spear was—
Odin.
He had summoned it using Gungnir, the Spear of Odin, to finish off the creature.
"Heimdall!"
After slaying the beast, Odin suddenly shouted toward the sky.
"Aim at the blood pool—initiate the Bifröst!"
Far away in Asgard, Heimdall actually heard Odin's voice.
He immediately thrust his sword into the mechanism and pulled it down hard.
The Bifröst was not just a tool for transportation—
When necessary, it could act as a planet-destroying beam, scalable to only target specific zones.
And the vast, bottomless blood pool—
was the perfect target for such overwhelming force.
In the next moment—
Asgard fired a colossal beam of rainbow-colored light, cutting across the cosmos and entering Earth.
From activation to impact took only a few seconds.
The Bifröst descended like a waterfall, crashing directly into the blood pool.
"RUN!!"
The Asgardians, seeing the light, instantly understood what was happening and scattered away from the blood pool!
"What the hell is that?!"
Tony shouted in disbelief.
Beside him, Odin stood resolutely.
Even though he was near the Bifröst's impact zone, he didn't budge—
his gaze fixed on the blood pool.
The Bifröst was his ultimate trump card.
If even this couldn't stop the blood pool…
Then there was truly nothing more he could do.
"Good. Cease fire!"
After the Bifröst beam bathed the blood pool for a while, Odin gave the order to Heimdall to stop the bombardment.
