Chereads / The Arrival of Naruto in the Marvel Universe / Chapter 493 - Chapter 492: Sparring

Chapter 493 - Chapter 492: Sparring

Hearing Charles's words, Thor's heart also settled a bit. At least Charles wouldn't leave him alone in Jotunheim, waiting for reinforcements.

 

Though being alone in Jotunheim was acceptable, having someone else around, along with a bit of sparring, would make the days more enjoyable. After all, Thor enjoyed festivities and combat.

 

"Charles, since we have some free time, how about we spar?" Thor suggested.

 

Charles didn't refuse and agreed. "Sure, let's go outside and spar!"

 

Then Charles and Thor left the Jotunheim palace and arrived at an open space outside.

 

With the major battle over, there were no living Frost Giants around the Jotunheim palace. The area was deserted except for Charles and Thor, along with the remains of dead Frost Giants and Mountain Giants on the battlefield.

 

Facing each other, Charles took out a shuriken from his ninja tool pouch and said, "I'll throw this shuriken into the sky. When it falls to the ground, our sparring will begin."

 

"Okay!" Thor agreed.

 

Seeing Thor's consent, Charles threw the shuriken into the air and stepped back, aligning the distance between them with the shuriken's landing point.

 

As the shuriken flew into the air, Charles and Thor focused their gaze on it. Soon, its momentum waned, and it began to change direction, falling towards the ground. As soon as the shuriken hit the ground—

 

"Whoosh!"

 

With a sonic boom, Charles stepped forward, causing the ground beneath his feet to crack open. He burst out at supersonic speed, creating a shockwave of white air on both side of his body.

 

In the blink of an eye, Charles arrived in front of Thor.

 

Seeing Charles approaching, Thor swung his Mjolnir hammer at him.

 

"Perfect timing!" Charles sidestepped, striking the wrist holding Mjolnir with his right hand. He then followed up with a left palm strike to Thor's chest.

 

"Boom!"

 

Charles's palm struck Thor's chest armor, sending him flying.

 

Thor tumbled on the ground before coming to a stop.

 

Charles stood with one hand behind his back and the other extended forward, striking a pose reminiscent of Bruce Lee.

 

"Continue!" he urged.

 

Thor stood up from the ground, watching Charles's stance. He then leaped into the air with Mjolnir, changing direction towards Charles. He swung his hammer downward at him.

 

Seeing Thor in the air, Charles's eyes turned white.

 

"Eight Trigrams: Empty Palm!"

 

Charles unleashed a palm strike towards Thor in mid-air, his sharp palm wind heading straight for him.

 

"For the glory of Asgard!"

 

Thor lifted his Mjolnir hammer, smashing it directly towards the incoming palm wind. The thunder clashed with the palm wind.

 

"Boom!"

 

After the collision of thunder and palm wind, he attack dissipated in the air.

 

At this moment, Thor descended from the sky, appearing in front of Charles with his hammer emanating thunderous power, striking towards Charles.

 

"Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palms!"

 

Seeing Thor swinging his hammer, Charles stepped back and immediately enveloped Thor within the Eight Trigrams domain.

 

Blue chakra radiated from Charles's palms, forming Chakra Surgical Blades.

 

With his Byakugan, Charles targeted the pressure points and channels of Thor's body, instantly attacking him.

 

"One palm, two palms, four palms, eight palms, sixteen palms, thirty-two palms, sixty-four palms."

 

Charles's palms struck Thor's pressure points rapidly, injecting his gentle chakra into his channels, disrupting the flow of his divine power. His chakra surgical blades cut through his muscles.

 

After completing the sixty-four palms, Charles delivered a final blow, sending Thor flying.

 

As Thor was knocked away, Charles observed his reaction with Byakugan.

 

After being sent flying, Thor still held onto his Mjolnir tightly, and it didn't drop from his grip. He didn't immediately stand up but took a second or two before doing so.

 

However, in Charles's eyes, the chakra injected into Thor's body was dispersed by his divine power in just two seconds. As for the muscles severed by the chakra surgical blades, they quickly healed.

 

This made Charles realize that although Thor hadn't awakened his power yet, his divine power was still accessible within his body. He just couldn't release thunder on his own at this point. However, his physical strength was formidable.

 

Thor, with a displeased expression after being sent flying twice, tossed his Mjolnir towards Charles and charged at him.

 

Seeing the Mjolnir flying towards him, Charles sidestepped, avoiding its direct attack. As Mjolnir continued flying past him, Charles reached out to grab its handle.

 

"Ding! Discovered rechargeable item. Would you like to recharge?"

 

Hearing the system prompt, Charles hesitated.

 

If he recharged Mjolnir now, he wondered if he could upgrade his VIP level by one or two ranks. But he didn't dare to do so at this moment. If he did, aside from Thor seeking revenge, he wouldn't be able to withstand Odin's anger.

 

"No!"

 

Just as Charles was contemplating, he was suddenly lifted off the ground by Mjolnir and flew to Thor's direction in an instant.

 

As Mjolnir was about to return to Thor's hand, Charles relaxed and appeared in front of Thor.

 

Thor caught Mjolnir and immediately swung it towards Charles, who was within arm's reach.

 

"Boom!"

 

A wooden substitution was instantly shattered. Charles didn't have time to dodge, so he used a substitution jutsu.

 

"Leaf Whirlwind!"

 

Charles appeared by Thor's side and kicked directly.

 

Thor was pushed back a step by this kick, and as he saw Charles about to deliver a roundhouse kick, he swung his hammer towards the ground.

 

"Boom!"

 

A large amount of thunder exploded from all around, and Charles was blasted away by the thunderous force.

 

After tumbling in the air for a while, Charles landed on the ground and looked at the thunderous energy still raging around him. Charles directed it into the ground.

 

With all the thunderous energy drained from his body, Charles moved his limbs and found no injuries.

 

With the combination of Might Guy's Eight Gates and Charles's pseudo-immortality, attacks that could be fatal to others only sent him flying without causing any real harm.

 

After the physical battle, Charles realized that Thor's fighting skills weren't remarkable. He glanced at Thor's hammer and conceived the idea of testing weapons.

 

With a thought, the titanium alloy short knife made by Ginny in his storage space appeared in his hand.

 

Charles held the knife and looked at Thor, saying, "Second round, begin!"

 

 

...

 

 

Earth-

 

Kakashi, upon receiving Lord Charles's message, immediately called Coulson.

 

"Agent Coulson, we have preliminarily agreed to your request for trading with other 084 items."

 

"But we cannot be sure if your 084 items are what we need."

 

"So you need to prepare the items and bring them directly to our Agency. We need to see the physical objects to determine their value. If you have a lot of items, you can also choose a place, and we will come to assess their value."

 

Upon hearing Kakashi's words, Coulson thought for a moment before asking, "No problem. When the time comes, you can come over to confirm the value of the items. But what items can you offer for trade?"

 

"After all, it's a trade between two parties, and I need to know what you can offer."

 

Kakashi, recalling the information Lord Charles had transmitted, spoke directly, "There are quite a few items available for trading, all of which your SHIELD would like. Including the body strengthening potions you've been seeking, there are many other special items and potions."

 

"The specific list will be shown to you on the day of the trade, along with an introduction to the actual effects of the items."

 

Hearing that the body strengthening potions were included, Coulson asked another question he was concerned about, "Is there a limit on the quantity?"

 

"Not at the moment, but you also need to have items available for trading."

 

"I understand. I'll prepare the items and get in touch with you later."

 

"Okay!"

 

After informing Coulson, Kakashi hung up the phone.

 

Meanwhile, Coulson opened the 084 item file and began selecting items suitable for trading.

 

It was the first time they were using 084 items for trading, and Coulson was meticulous in selecting items.

 

Some special items were being selected, while those with tremendous power and high danger levels were passed over.

 

Coulson specifically chose items with unique reactions but minimal energy fluctuations, some of which even their own researchers couldn't determine the purpose of.

 

After selecting these items, Coulson began to prepare reports for them, requesting that the chosen 084 items be sent to a secret base located in New York.

 

 

...

 

 

Jotunheim-

 

"Clang, clang, ding, ding..."

 

The sound of metal collision echoed on the battlefield outside the Jotunheim palace. The short knife clashed with Mjolnir, sparking metallic fire.

 

Charles, unafraid of exhausting chakra, wrapped his knife in chakra and swung it at Thor. Only with chakra enhancement could the knife withstand the collision with Mjolnir temporarily.

 

Thor swung Mjolnir in a whirlwind, blocking Charles's attacks.

 

Seeing Thor defending himself tightly, Charles couldn't land his blows with the knife. He immediately switched to the White Fang Blade Style.

 

"White Fang: White Light Blade!"

 

Charles gathered a large amount of chakra on the weapon in his hand and struck Thor with three consecutive slashes.

 

Gigantic white blade beams flew from Charles's short knife towards Thor, seemingly tearing through space.

 

Thor, knowing this was just a sparring match, didn't intend to dodge the attacks. Instead, he directly swung his hammer at the first blade beam, the hammer glowing with blue lightning.

 

"Sizzle!"

 

Mjolnir collided with the blade beam, emitting a piercing sound as if the blade would split the hammer. However, the blade beam was ultimately shattered by Mjolnir.

 

Then, Thor forcefully swung his hammer twice more, shattering the incoming blade beams.

 

At this moment, Charles leaped high into the air and delivered a finishing blow towards Thor on the ground!

 

Thor looked up at Charles descending from above, raising his hammer to meet him.

 

"Boom!"

 

As Charles's hands pressed down with the knife, Thor lifted his hammer to meet him. The knife and the hammer clashed in mid-air.

 

Suddenly, a large amount of lightning surged from Mjolnir, striking the knife blade.

 

"Crack!"

 

The blade made of titanium alloy began to crack.

 

Seeing this, Charles shook his hands violently, and the chakra-wrapped knife instantly turned into countless fragments, propelled by chakra towards Thor.

 

"Swish, swish, swish!"

 

The fragmented knife blades, enveloped in chakra, broke through the blockade of Mjolnir and rushed towards Thor.

 

The sharpness of the chakra-wrapped blade fragments far exceeded their original form. They cut through Thor's armor, leaving numerous wounds on his body.

 

After cutting through Thor's body, the fragments continued their momentum and plunged into the ground, leaving giant blade marks on the earth. These chakra-infused fragments then disappeared into the ground.

 

"Boom!"

 

The ground beneath Thor's feet suddenly collapsed, and he stumbled down.

 

Floating in the air at this moment, Charles watched the damage he caused with a slight smile on his lips. As for the remaining handle of the knife in his hand, he didn't discard it but retrieved it into his storage space.

 

At this moment, Thor wielded Mjolnir and emerged from the underground.

 

"Charles, your weapon is no good, completely damaged. After the rebellion ends, I'll have the Dwarf King forge you a new one."

 

"Now that the probing is over, show me your true strength."
