In the distant world of Jotunheim, Russo, known as the invincible one, overwhelmed the Frost Giant army with his unmatched power.
Seeing his close friend fall in battle, Thor, the God of Thunder, was consumed with rage.
The storm that followed Thor's fury spread out like a force of nature, amplified by the divine energy of Mjolnir.
For a brief period, Thor, wielding Mjolnir alone, was able to defeat the Frost Giant warriors, taking down scores of them with nothing but his strength.
However, as with any battle, even the mightiest warriors can be overwhelmed by sheer numbers.
More and more Frost Giants emerged from the shadows, charging at Thor relentlessly, disregarding their own lives. The onslaught drained Thor of his divine energy and physical strength.
Unable to stand alone against such overwhelming force, Thor was forced to reduce his fighting radius to protect his remaining allies.
As the smoke cleared, Thor realized that Loki was no longer with the group. Gasping for breath, he asked, "Where is Loki?"
Sif and Hogun, both slightly wounded yet still capable of fighting, exchanged uncertain glances before answering: "We haven't seen him in a long while."
A chill ran through Thor's heart. Could Loki have fallen as well?
Thor shook his head, pushing these thoughts aside. There would be time for mourning later. Right now, the battle still raged.
"Sif, Hogan," Thor said urgently, "we have to break through!"
"No," Sif responded firmly, "You need to escape. Hogan and I will cover you."
Thor shook his head in defiance. "I will not leave you both behind."
"Thor!" Sif's voice grew sharper. "If you don't leave now, none of us will survive."
"We'll see about that," said Laufey, the Frost Giant King, observing Thor's faltering strength.
Seeing his opportunity, Laufey advanced to strike, aiming to deal a fatal blow to Thor. With a swing of his massive axe, Laufey moved in for the kill.
But then, a beam of rainbow light descended from the heavens, shaking the ground.
With a mighty roar, the surrounding Frost Giants were blasted backward, and Laufey himself was forced to retreat.
Russell, the hero of the day, had arrived.
Taking in the situation, Russell saw the aftermath of the battle Volstagg lay dead, and Loki was nowhere to be seen.
Russell sighed, muttering to himself, "Looks like I'm a little late."
He lamented the inability to use the portal spell openly within Asgard, for the space fluctuations would surely have been detected and deemed an invasion. Taking the Rainbow Bridge had been slightly slower than anticipated.
He turned to face the incoming horde of Frost Giants, his resolve hardening.
"I will end this war," he declared, his voice booming with authority.
With those words, Russell walked forward, his mental power radiating outward, putting pressure on the advancing Frost Giant warriors. It felt like an invisible weight pushing against them.
"Enough!" he called out. "If you haven't had enough, come at me!"
The Frost Giants hesitated, intimidated by the force they now felt pressing upon them.
Laufey, furious, sneered. "Who dares interfere with the plans of the Frost Giants?"
Without warning, a massive ice beast lunged from the side, its jaws snapping at Russell.
Russell grimaced in disgust, stepping back just in time to avoid the beast's savage bite. He then reached out, slapping the creature on its massive head.
"Don't touch the frost beast directly," Sif's voice cautioned, but it was already too late.
Russell's hand glowed with power, and with a quiet word, he unleashed his [Energy Drain] ability. In an instant, the ice beast's internal energy was drained, freezing it from the inside out. The massive creature collapsed, lifeless, as it was turned into a frozen sculpture, every molecule within it now at absolute zero.
Turning to face Laufey, Russell smirked. "Is this your answer, King Laufey?"
With a violent shift in the air, the clouds above them began to churn. The ground trembled as Russell's mental power expanded, transforming the pressure into sharp, searing blades that pierced the very souls of the Frost Giant warriors.
The ones who could still stand screamed in agony, but most of the Frost Giants crumpled to the ground, unconscious.
Loki, who had been in disguise as a Frost Giant, revealed himself and quietly moved behind Russell to protect him.
Thor and his allies, stunned by the sudden turn of events, watched as tens of thousands of Frost Giant warriors were reduced to a mere fraction of their former strength in seconds.
Laufey's face drained of color as he watched the chaos unfold. Not only had Russell frozen the massive frost beast with apparent ease, but he had also wiped out nearly all of his forces with a single strike.
But Laufey wasn't ready to admit defeat. He glared at Thor and his friends, his voice cold with malice.
"Leave now, son of Odin," Laufey spat, "Take your friends and go. But know this, we are not finished. The war is far from over."
Hogan, having gathered Volstagg's body, joined the others as they regrouped. They awaited Heimdall's signal to open the Rainbow Bridge and return to Asgard.
Just as it seemed like the conflict might be over, Russell's voice rang out once more.
"I said, I'm here to end this war!" he declared, his tone final and unwavering.
The air around them went still as all eyes turned to Russell. Even Laufey, who had prepared to retreat, was caught off guard by this declaration.
"Too much!" Laufey growled, his anger boiling over. He condensed his ice magic into a sword and charged at Russell.
Russell stood his ground, making no move to dodge. The ice sword clashed against his form with a sharp, resonant sound.
Ding!
Laufey's eyes widened in shock as his sword cracked upon striking Russell's unyielding body. The Frost Giant King recoiled, realizing that his blow had no effect.
Russell grinned, his presence growing even more menacing. "My turn," he said, his voice laced with deadly confidence.
With a mighty roar, Russell unleashed a devastating punch that struck Laufey square in the chest, the force of which sent shockwaves through the battlefield.
As the Frost Giant King staggered, Russell's voice boomed, "This war ends now!"
