"No plans survive first contact with the enemy."

-Helmuth von Moltke

...

Eidolon P.O.V.

I was never a wildly patriotic person. My two motherlands are full of problems and things I'm not very proud of, but if an outsider spoke badly about both the U.S.A and Brazil I would be a little angry.

So this is the first time I feel this anger that seems to burn from the bottom of my being. My city, my country, my planet... It's being invaded. And that bothers me... Very, very much.

In a second I take out my surroundings. Destruction, fire, raining debris, people panicking... Well, my entry seems to have caused a little pause in this part of the battlefield. I think I made an impression... Serious, dude?! You're filming me instead of running away? Kids those days... *Sigh*

Even though I'm still pissed off with this invasion, a part of me knows this is a great opportunity as it's the best time for my debut.

I could have started heroing a long time ago. But all I was going to win would be the title of "Mutant Menace" by J. Jonah Jameson. I see how Spider-man is treated despite him constantly saving people.

A smart man learns from his mistakes, a wise man learns from the mistakes of others. That's my main motto in the Marvel world.

I might save a few people here and there, but in the end, people would find a way to hate me and blame me for some reason.

To this day people still think that super villains only appear as a response to Spider-man vigilante activities.

But this invasion... I have zero involvement with this shit. I'm only here to help. People will blame the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, The government, and Loki. But only idiots will blame me for that. *Sigh* Okay, forget that I said this... I know I'm still going to get some of the blame anyway.

I can't underestimate human stupidity.

But this situation is already the best-case scenario.

Making a good first impression here will jumpstart good changes in how mutants are viewed by the public.

Looking down I spot the heroes of the moment. More people than in the movie... Maybe that's why this invasion seems to be much worse than expected. Some sort of cosmic balance.

It has the expected heroes like Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye and I've seen Iron-man flying before. No sign of Thor and Hulk for now. But there are extras that didn't appear in the movie, but that I hoped would help here: Ant-man and Wasp, Susan Storm and the Thing. Reed and Human Torch must be somewhere else. Spider-man should be helping as he can away from here as well.

And maybe more reinforcements will appear, but better not to be optimistic...

As I slowly float to the ground I wave my hand down and crush all the chitauri soldiers on the street.

"Eidolon. Here to help." I say hand signaling to myself as I address Captain America. "Situation?" I speak simply, he looks confused for a moment. Maybe a little dazed by my sudden entrance, but he proves to be an experienced soldier and starts talking.

"Alien invasion by the Norse god Loki and an unknown woman. They are using an artifact called the Dodecahedron to open two portals to bring their armies here." Captain America quickly and efficiently reports the situation to me.

Two portals? An unknown woman? Dodecahedron? Whatafuc- Oh no.

Now I remembered.

The MCU's Cosmic Cube or the Tesseract is very different from its comic book counterpart. In the comics, the cube is an artifact that connects to the Beyonders' dimension, giving reality-warping powers to whoever uses it. Honestly, I've seen a lot of discussions in my past life about which weapon is stronger: The Cosmic Cube vs The Infinity Gauntlet.

The fact that the Space Stone is probably in this "Dodecahedron" or whatever... Is an indication that the real Cosmic Cube, an object that can reshape the universe is out there... In the universe. It can be retrieved by anyone at any time. And there's probably nothing I can do about it.

Holy shit...

Ugh... I can feel a headache already.

Let's think about this later. This time there are two portals and...

"An Unknown Woman?" I ask.

"We don't know who she is. She is helping Loki and is dressed in green..." Captain America replies.

Hela? In the MCU she is the daughter of Odin, but in the comics, she is actually Loki's daughter. So it wouldn't be strange that she's helping the God of Mischief.

"The Woman can brainwash people, especially men. Be careful. Is not a good experience" Hawkeye talks next to me, as he shoots an arrow at a chitauri in the distance.

Hmm? That doesn't seem to be Hela's style... Amora!

I see, that makes sense. There's no cube here. And no scepter either... This universe is like mending with the comic elements. Filling the gaps... Amora is replacing the role of Loki's Scepter.

If you think about it, it's logical that Thanos wouldn't give an Infinity Stone to someone to go and retrieve another Infinity Stone... So the mind stone is out there in the universe too. Ugh...

"I see... I will be careful. Thanks for the warning." I wave my hand casually and bring a Chitauri Soldier who is still alive to me telekinetically. Captain America and the other heroes seem confused by my actions.

I hold the chitauri soldier in the air and make him look at me. He only grunts and hisses.

"Can you understand me?" He doesn't react. He just tries to swing his arms to hit me.

I try to get into his mind, but all I get is simple things like "Kill", "Obey" and things like that. Not words, just these instincts ingrained in his mind.

I draw his own weapon into my hand and aim it at his head. The universal sign of threatening someone. Everyone understood this.

But the reptilian soldier doesn't seem to care and continues to try to attack me.

"It seems that communication and understanding are impossible..." I speak lightly before squeezing my hand and breaking his neck.

Not caring about the gruesome sound that made Invisible Woman and the Thing flinch. I quickly and professionally move the subject in the air to observe it.

Even disassembling him a little.

"Looks like they're disposable soldiers... A reptilian humanoid alien that has over 70% of its body replaced by cybernetic implants." I say to everyone.

I attract another chitauri soldier that is already dead and compare the two.

"Exactly the same... Maybe clones, so they must produce these guys in batches. Do you guys know what that means?" I ask.

"It means that it is possible that there is an astronomical amount of them." Hank Pym is the only one who answers. Making everyone show grim faces.

"Who is handling the portal?" I ask.

"Reed Richards went with Human Torch and Bruce Banner to try to close the equipment that is generating the two portals." Captain America responds.

"Good..." I say as I finish disassembling the chitauri specimens. "The core of their exoskeleton is in the cervical spine. If you get the chance, a good hit here should make them useless. But the metal that makes up their armor is stronger than usual... So it's not a weak point per se." I report, it seems that's all I can figure out with what little time I have. Better start moving... I'm telekinetically destroying enemies from a distance, but it will be more efficient if I go to fight soon.

"I will deal with the second portal. Which is to the north, right?" I say.

"Yeah. How do you know?" Natasha ask.

"I can feel the cold coming from that direction. If my guess is correct Loki has connected this second portal with Jotunheim. Whatever army he's bringing will be bad enough, but the absurd cold weather will kill people much faster and it's harder to defend too. You can't punch the cold." I say.

I turn to Hawkeye and ask. "Needs a ride to a high point?" I move my hand and stop a Chitauri Chariot that was flying at high speed above us.

Making the flying ship land I destroy the pilots and take the weapons intact and throw them to the Black Widow.

"This should be more efficient than your current weapons."

She holds the energy rifle and gives an appreciative look.

"Oh~ How did you know that was exactly what I wanted for my birthday?" She talks while testing the weight of the weapon.

"There's more in the flying ship. And grenades too..." I say.

Hawkeye sighs and speaks. "What did you do? You can't give these News Toys to a unsurpervised kid like that... Have you checked the age restriction?" He says jokingly but looks a little worried and is slowly backing away from the Black Widow.

It appears that their relationship is like the MCU.

"Piss off Clint. Just because he is a man that knows how to give gifts to a woman, you don't need to be jealous." The red-head spy responds looking affronted. "I like you already, new guy." She says a little flirty to me.

Ugh... Now I know why she and Shego don't get along. They're very similar.

Rolling my eyes beneath my hood I turn around and say "I'm going now. I'll lighten up the burden here a little before heading north."

Captain America nodes. "I'm counting on you." He says.

I just nod and take a flight straight to the skies.

hehe. Captain America is counting on me... How cool is that??

From my appearance until now, only a little over a minute has passed. It's not long, but I know many have died in the meantime. But it was necessary to get in touch with my colleagues for today.

Reaching a good altitude, high above the skyscrapers, I stop and watch the large number of chitauri pouring out of the portal.

Hmm. This portal is directly connected with the vacuum of space, I can observe some drastic atmospheric changes close by. But not as much as expected if a literal hole in the fabric of space opened directly into our troposphere.

That portal must be stabilizing the surrounding area in some way. I'm curious... But now is not the time.

Starting to shrink, bringing my arms and legs closer to my body, I start to attract all nearby enemies.

The space around me distorts a little as all the chitauri are caught in my gravitational field. When I accumulate enough power I release my omnidirectional Force/telekinetic blast in the sky.

BOOOM

I think 40% of the enemy army has turned to dust with this. A large area around me is empty. I don't waste much time and start flying towards the second portal. This help is all I can do for now to avoid casualties in this area.

*beep*

My communicator beeps.

"Yes?"

I hear Isabella's voice "Master Eidolon, I would like to report that Huntress and Lady Jade asked to be teleported to help against the invasion" She remembers referring to me as Eidolon when I'm in my suit.

Oh~ Helena I can understand, but Shego going out of her way to help?

Frankly, I intended to make Shego responsible for my villainous activities. And Helena with anti-hero activities. But I think this is already blown up when they came into contact with Hawkeye and Black Widow.

I'll give the role of anti-hero to both of them.

In the future, I will have to find someone to handle my shady business.

"Help them with whatever they need. And bring them back if they end up in imminent danger." I talk while flying and slash enemies with my Blade Arms.

"Understood."

"And I want you to do some things to me..." I say to Isabela as I adjust my plans.

...

Carvalho Residence, Minutes early.

Shego P.O.V.

"Oh, no~ that looks bad... Anyway, I'm going to sleep." I say as I turn away from the window.

"Isabella, please bring my things." Helena says without taking her eyes off the window.

After a second of hesitation, Isabella opens a portal and brings out three suitcases.

Helena opens them without hesitation, revealing the contents.

One of them has her new costume, made of Unstable Molecule, and finally covers the entire body of the slut. Who lets the belly button exposed? Are you some kind of dancer?

In the other suitcase, there are three crossbows. Of different sizes. The medium one is the size of Helena's old crossbow. The smaller one is for the forearm and the big one is fucking huge.

I remember Hector muttering something about a woman and laughing at a joke that only he understood while doing the crossbows.

'Hehe. Just like Vayne... Bruce Vayne. Pfft Everything falls in place.' He is weird sometimes.

The third suitcase is full of bolts that do different things like electrocuting, exploding, and with trackers.

"Are you gonna be out there?" I can't help but ask the obvious.

"Yeah. You don't?" She shots back.

"Nah… Hector got this. If he wanted help he would ask." I answer.

"I will contact Master Hector of your decision, Miss Helena." Isabella speaks to the side.

Hah. Typical... Isabella is a snitch. Good to know.

But I'm starting to feel left out? This isn't right...

I can't let this woman surpass me.

"Isabella, bring my things too." I speak.

Isabella gives me a look before opening another portal with my suitcase. Only one... Hmpf, I'm just more frugal, is not because Hector likes Helena more.

Dressing quickly, I prepare to impress Hector.

"Have you changed your mind?" Helena asks with a raised eyebrow.

Like I will let you take the lead, bitch.

"Yeah. I can't let people conquer MY world before me. It's an insult to me and the future world order that I will establish... how dare they." I answer simply.

She just rolls her eyes. "We're not going to play. This is serious." She says seriously.

"I know, I know... Be a hero, right? Easy... Just kick ass, look good and... another thing that I forgot, but it shouldn't be important..." I reply dismissively.

"...Save people, maybe?" She speaks a little in disbelief.

"Yeah, yeah… That's it. It was on the tip of my tongue." I look at my nails. I hope they don't break, it would be a bigger disaster than this invasion.

I put on my gloves after removing my ring which changes the color of my skin and then my mask.

"Drop us off, Isabella." I say setting my hands on fire to test my powers.

A portal appears and Helena and I jump in without hesitation longer.

...

Morlocks Sewers, Third Person P.O.V.

The underground is shaking. The surface explosions are reverberating throughout the place.

The mutants that inhabit the sewers are nervous and getting ready to send someone to investigate.

But before they could proceed, a person simply appears out of nowhere in front of the Morlocks.

It is the figure of a woman wrapped in black mist. After a while, she reveals herself to be a tall woman in a maid uniform. But her face and hands are still made of black mist, her eyes are the only thing you can identify on the face without features. Her eyes are just two purple slits...

"Who are you?!" Callisto asks putting herself in front of the non-combatants. Mikhail advances to stand beside her, ready to fight.

The fact that the newcomer is in a maid's uniform took the tension out of the Morlocks, but they still haven't let their guard down.

"Greetings, I'm... The Caretaker..." The woman who is obviously Isabella speaks as she hesitates a little. Her alias is something she and Hector hadn't decided on yet... Many names have been suggested as simply "The Maid", "Mama", "Housekeeper", "Hestia" the greek goddess of hearth and home... But Hector gave up on that idea at the same time he proposed because he doesn't want to have any connection with these crazy pantheons of gods.

By the way, Shego suggested "Dommy Mommy" but it wasn't accepted either...

So Isabella has now decided on "Caretaker", which she thinks fits nicely and she doesn't really care too much anyway.

"I'm here on behalf of Eidolon to say a few things…" Isabella continues.

Knowing she came on Eidolon's orders made most relax.

"First of all, these disturbances you are feeling are due to a battle taking place on the surface. The details you will know in the future, but you need not worry. Eidolon will do everything to make sure you guys are not affected." Isabella pauses to take a look at everyone's reaction before she continues.

She talks calmly and gently as if she is convincing children to behave.

"You must be Mikhail." Isabela says turning to the big Russian.

"Yes." Mikhail confirms unnecessarily.

"Eidolon said that the battle now is a good opportunity for your redemption... If you're willing..." She says while narrowing her eyes.

Mikhail is dumbfounded for a second before showing a serious expression.

"I will trust in the judgment of the Leader." He says.

"...good. Guide me to Machia. Eidolon said to get him too."

"Follow me." Mikhail speaks before starting to head towards the Eidolon makeshift room.

Isabella gives a deep bow to the rest of the Morlocks and says goodbye. "Just stay calm. Everything will be alright. Words of Eidolon." She speaks before starting to follow Mikhail.

On the way, Isabella explains the situation in more detail.

"On the alien invasion?" Mikhail asks a little absentmindedly.

"You don't look very surprise..."

"I have seen my fair share of crazy things, my lady. We are here."

The two arrive at the entrance of a large room, and the four-meter-tall Machia appears to be sleeping. But as they approach he lifts his head and sniffs the air a little.

"Master's maid..." He says.

"Yes… Machia. Master is fighting..." Before she even finished speaking the man giant started to rise.

"...The Master has given you a mission, Machia. Activate your necklace." Isabella speaks.

Machia reaches for the Palantír, which rests on his neck. The moment he touchs and thinks about talking to Hector he hears a voice in his head.

"Machia... Are you listening to me?"

"Master..."

"My dear Machia..." He hears Hector's soft voice. "Aliens are invading the world that is meant to be mine, Machia. This can't stand..." A little anger oozes from the voice in Machia's mind.

"The maid will teleport you, Machia. Destroy the enemies and protect my world and the people who live in it..." Phrasing is important in dealing with subordinates. Hector knows this very well.

Machia is no hero material, so he has to adapt.

Images begin to appear in Machia's mind. Whose enemy is it and to protect and avoid do as much destruction as possible.

After a while Machia turns to Isabella.

"Bring me there, little friend..."

"Okay… Do you want a mask Mikhail?" Isabela says as she hands a communicator to Mikhail.

"No..." Mikhail says as he puts the communicator to his ear. "I don't have a life other than this one... And I want... My little brother and sister to be proud of me... When their big brother saves the world." He speaks determinedly.

Isabella only nods. "Alright." Mist begins to spread when Isabella opens another large portal.

...

North of New York

"Loki, stop this madness at once!!" The angry God of Thunder yells at his adopted brother.

The region where they are has already become a land of ice and snow.

Thor is doing his best to control the weather and hold off the cold to the humans have time to evacuate.

But even with his efforts, Thor knows that many will die. The chilly winds of Jotunheim are not something a normal person can shrug off.

"I'm just making my own destiny, foolish brother. Unlike you who were born with the throne in hand, I am having to earn it by my own abilities." Loki speaks condescendingly.

He feels very secure and that everything is in his control, as a small army of Frost Giants stands between him and Thor.

"A throne built on the corpses of innocents!" Thor spat "Is this the kind of king you want to be, Loki?!" Thor rants furiously as he sends a Frost Giant flying with a Mjolnir strike.

"What do you think Odin's throne is made of?! Underneath all that gold is blood and dead bodies too, brother. You can't be so naive that you don't know even this…" Loki says.

"I will stop you! And make you see sense!" Thor exclaims before spinning Mjolnir and lunging towards Loki, His red cape billowing behind him.

"Ah~ Ah~ Ah~ Are you sure that you want to do that?" Loki wiggles his index finger before making a woman appear in front of him.

The woman is gagged and tied in green ropes of magic.

"Jane! No, it can't be! This is one more of your tricks, Loki?! You're going too far! "Thor speaks furiously.

He'd spoken to Jane on the cell earlier. While on the Helicarrier with the other heroes. While the scientist's Reed, Banner, Pym and Stark worked to locate the Dodecahedron.

She is safe at that time.

It can't be Jane!

But how does Loki know about Jane?

"Are you sure that you can risk?" Loki says opening a portal that glows green beside him.

The portal connects with the rooftop of some building. To Loki, Thor is the only one who can stop him now. If he can keep Thor busy he can stop the pesky humans who want to destroy the machine Selvig created to channel the energy of the Space Stone.

"What will you believe Thor?" Loki says before throwing Jane off the high place he is standing on. He doesn't even look at her as he crosses the portal to plot with the other heroes.

Thor has to stop Loki, but even if it's an illusion. Even if he proves that Jane isn't real.

Thor can't risk it.

Electricity runs through his entire body. Thor has never pushed himself as hard as that moment when he launches himself into the sea of ​​Frost Giants to capture Jane before she meets a horrible fate.

"Aaarghh!!"

Thor flies really fast, but he won't make it in time. Expertly he swings his Hammer making a gust of wind which goes against Jane, stopping her fall enough to him catch up.

Meanwhile, he hits several Frost Giants in the way.

He doesn't realize, however, that many more Frost Giants are already moving deeper in the city. Don't caring about him at all.

Rolling a little on the ground with Jane in his embrace Thor finally stops and looks at her to make sure that she is okay.

He is glad he came to save her. The sensation of her body is not an illusion. It's real.

But before he can get a good look at Jane, she glows green and an object the size and shape of a football ball appear in front of him.

'The Warlock's Eye...'

It's all that his mind registers before everything goes blank.

...

Amora stands up triumphantly.

The plan is a success. She has to admit that Loki is pretty good with lowly tricks and schemes.

Removing the illusion that makes her look like the mortal lover of Thor, she waves her hands, ending the spell.

Using the image of a lowly woman is humiliating for her. And to see Thor disregard his own safety for other woman that is not her prick her right where it hurts.

She will make Thor kill Jane with his own hands to prove that he loves her more, much more than that Midgardian harlot.

Amora's mind control is different from normal. She doesn't turn the men she controls into mindless puppets, she changes their sense of priority. Making her the person most loved by them.

That they will do anything for her.

"Thor, get up." she orders.

Thor opens his eyes that glow green for an instant before reversing to their normal coloring of blue.

He gets up and faces Amora.

"Tell me, Thor... Who do you love the most?" she asks, unable to stop her heart from beating faster in anticipation.

"You, my love. Amora is the one that I love the most." Thor speaks sincerely.

A smile blooms on Amora's beautiful face.

"Yes, my dear. Finally, you come to your senses..." She says sultrily as she approaches Thor and hugs him.

Thor instinctively leans forward and kisses her.

Amora allows herself to get lost in the moment.

After some time she reluctantly separates from Thor and speaks. "Thor, my love. Go help your brother a little and come back to me later. No need to seriously help, just put on a show that's helping. Loki little rebellion will be over when Odin comes. But WE, we are together Forever."

With a peck on the lips Amora bids farewell to Thor and prepares to abandon Loki and Midgard.

Now that she has everything she needs, she no longer has to waste time here. It needs time for the spell to ingrain in Thor mind and become immovable. She doesn't want to be here when Odin's wrath falls on Loki.

By the time Odin remembers Thor, it will be too late.

While Amora is thinking about the bright future ahead, space shifts close to her.

Pain assails her neck when she sees a figure in a black mantle appear out of nowhere and punch her throat.

Faster than she can react Eidolon reaches out and uses [Larceny] to steal the Warlock's Eye that was floating near Amora, and stores the artifact in the Inventory.

"Yo-*Cough* *Cough*" Amora can't speak but raises her hands glowing green, making Eidolon narrow his eyes.

'So she can still use magic without chanting or something? The games lied to me...' Eidolon thinks as he clenches his fist crushing Amora's hands together telekinetically, breaking some fingers in the process.

"Aaah!!"

With a kick to the solar plexus, Eidolon sends Amora flying away. He jumps and descends at high speed with his foot directly in Amora's face.

BAM!

Amora twitches in pain, but she was still conscious.

Eidolon wants to see if in the case of Amora passing out, her control over Thor will disappear.

Removing his foot from Amora's face he sees that her face is a mess... Broken nose and teeth. All bloody...

There is no pity in Eidolon's eyes as he moves his foot to the green dress she is wearing and begins to clean the sole of his foot.

"Yeew~ I just step on shit..."

Amora listening to this gets so angry that she almost passes out.

While Eidolon is pondering what to do next he hears thunder and quickly moves away.

Crack~

Thor has returned.

He heard Amora's muffled screams and returned to rescue her.

He looks furious and quickly moves to Amora's side to take care of her.

His concern is on a par with what he showed when he thought it was Jane who was falling to certain death.

"KILL HIM!! KILL HIM!!! I WANT HIM DEAD!!!!" Amora shrill wildly as she points to Eidolon who watches the situation calmly but with a thousand thoughts crossing his head.

Thor protectively hides Amora behind his back and turns to face his new enemy.

Before Thor could attack, Eidolon made the first move.

He stomps on the ground, causing walls of ice and earth to cover his body. Thor looks on cautiously, but Eidolon attacks from an unexpected place.

He appears in the space between Thor and Amora. The God of Thunder turns around quickly but comes to face with a palm of a hand extended in front of his face. A massive air pressure attack sends Thor flying.

Eidolon doesn't stop and attacks Amora, who looks shocked trying to understand what's going on.

Her beautiful face is ruined, her enemy throwing Thor away and is going to attack her. All of this shattered all expectations of what the day should have been like.

A well-placed punch in her stomach makes her fly very, very far.

While in the air Eidolon reaches out and fires another [Air Cannon] to send her even further away.

He then ignores Amora and turns to Thor who has already stabilized and tries to fly to rescue Amora again.

When Thor passes him, he is yanked back because Eidolon grabbed his cape from him. "No capes." Eidolon speaks before slamming Thor to the ground.

Eidolon sends a quick communicator message to his allies to take care of Amora and gets in Thor's way again.

"YOU DARE!!" Thor yells at Eidolon.

"In this world, there are things I don't want to do and things I can't do... There's nothing I don't DARE do." Eidolon replies calmly.

At that moment, the Frost Giants that were nearby rushed to attack Eidolon.

Previously, they ignored everything else because of the orders, but now they know that this Midgardian in black is an Enemy, and they're going to kill him.

But before they had the chance to land a hit on Eidolon, a huge mental shockwave is exuded from Eidolon's body and hits everyone.

Eidolon Haoshoku no Haki is unleashed at full force targeting Thor, but also rendering all Frost Giants unconscious.

Thor isn't affected much however. His cape and his hair sway wildly and his face become serious but he stays awake.

'As expected...' Eidolon thinks while keeping his eyes fixed on Thor, without even a spare look at all the giants that fall to the ground like a sack of potatoes.

'Little tricks will not work...' Eidolon concludes as he grabs his mantle with one hand and pulls it out.

Revealing for the first time in the world of Marvel his body underneath. His White hair is tied in a man-bun, eyes that change colors, black and white UMF suit that exposes his muscles.

The mantle will only get in the way of the fight.

Thor tightens his grip on the handle of the Mjolnir and lowers himself into a combat-ready stance. The display from before proved that Eidolon is not a simple opponent.

All of Thor's instincts are saying that this mortal... No, this warrior is dangerous. And he will have to take it seriously.

Thor still has all his mental faculties. Amora's mind control just made him love her more than anything.

But Thor is still Thor.

Eidolon stretches a little.

'Hmm... I've never considered myself a battle junkie, but I can't help but get excited about having a serious fight with Thor... Is Katakuri affecting me? Whatever...'

Crouching down Eidolon lunges toward Thor using 100% [One For All] from the start.

He spins to give Thor an axe kick with his right heel.

Thor reacts quickly and raises his forearm to defend himself, but to his surprise, he doesn't feel the impact of the attack.

Eidolon made his foot intangible until it touched the ground, where he shifted his stance and delivers an uppercut on Thor's chin sending him high into the air.

'The sky is his battlefield, but I can't fight him on the ground...' Eidolon thinks before ducking and following Thor.

Thor quickly recovers and prepares to fight back. He doesn't seem to have been much affected by the punch from before.

The greatest battle the modern world has ever seen is just beginning.

...

In another place on the battlefield.

Captain America throws his shield hitting four chitauri soldiers with the rebound.

He previously lost 10 bucks to Fury because he bet nothing else would surprise him. Now he is glad that is a one-time only bet.

The helicarrier, people with powers, Norse gods and that Eidolon guy who arrived as backup.

He and the others had just arrived to fight this alien army when faster than a bullet something crashes into the front of one of those whale-like air ships.

That he's a friend is all Steve Rogers needs to know before he quickly briefs the situation to the newcomer. Every help is welcome. And later he realized that it is a great help.

When Eidolon takes to the Sky and wipes out a good portion of the enemies before heading to the place that no one but Thor, and maybe the Hulk, can approach.

But even so, he is finding himself greatly at a disadvantage here.

"We really need backup here." He speaks on the communicator.

"We ARE the backup." Stark speaks in a not-so-serious tone.

"The army will take too long to mobilize here, and these streets are not meant to be a battleground." Natasha Romanoff responds.

"*bzzt* We can help" Steve Rogers hears the voice of an unknown woman.

Before he can question who she is, black fog rises high and a giant arm comes out of nowhere and pierces one of the Leviathan Chitauri.

The arm effortlessly destroys the whole thing.

The black fog that proved to be a portal expands and a giant just in pants emerges. He is at least 30m tall and has another man on his shoulder.

"Eh~ Banner, why didn't you say that you invited your cousin? I would have cleaned... The whole place is a mess. I'm ashamed." Stark speaks into the communicator, shock apparent in his voice.

"I don't know this guy." Bruce Banner responds, still as Bruce Banner because he is helping Reed.

"So is your love child, Dr. Pym? Did you see that Janet?" Tony continues but is interrupted by another female voice.

"Argh, you're annoying. Just go shoot you 'pew-pew' lasers and shut up, iron-briefs."

"Wai- How is this line being so easily invaded like this?" Tony asks.

"It's not that hard to hack... Since the incident with Ivan Vanko, I thought you'd be more careful, Tony. But it looks like you haven't learned from your mistakes." A voice that is now recognized as Eidolon's speaks.

"Hey!" Tony speaks affronted but Captain America interrupts him to talk about more serious things.

"Are they your friends, Eidolon?"

"Yes. You can trust them. There's another two, you'll see." Eidolon talks and that's all Captain America needs to hear.

"By the way, I have bad news and very bad news." Eidolon continues "The bad news is that I lost Loki, he teleported somewhere. Be careful." He warns.

"Can you not say the 'very bad news' then?" Clint asks hopefully.

"Thor is being mind-controlled."

Everyone's expressions freeze.

This is bad.

Eidolon continues. "I separated him from the sorcerer woman. I sent her flying towards Central Park, more or less... I advise the ladys to deal with her. Seems like she's better at mind control in men. And I stole her artifact." Eidolon speaks. "Lady Jade and Huntress, go deal with her."

"Roger."

"Okie-dokie"

Everyone hears the voice of the two women from before.

"Natasha, Mr. Storm go help. All men stay away from Central Park. We cannot make the situation worse." Steve Rogers speaks.

"I'll keep Thor busy. I need to concentrate." Eidolon speaks before cutting off his own communication.

Steve Rogers looks up to the sky and sees storm clouds forming and loud noises of explosions and thunder in the northern part of the city. Where Eidolon and Thor are fighting now.

He can only put his trust in someone that he doesn't even know.

...

In the Stark Tower.

"This is not a force field. Space has been condensed in this area and is repelling any external forces. How can we penetrate it?" Bruce Banner talks while adjusting his glasses.

On their side, Reed uses a tablet-sized device to scan his surroundings.

Human Torch tries to attack the force field, but it all proves useless.

Dr. Selvig lies unconscious on the floor.

"Maybe we don't need to penetrate it..." Reed speaks in contemplation.

"Or we can use the strength of the Big Guy. There's nothing better than a hard enough slap on any electronic device, my father used to say." Johnny Storm speaks from the side.

Bruce just ignores him. Turning into the Hulk is a one-way road, only to do it when "Bruce" is no longer needed.

"What is on your mind?" Bruce asks turning to Reed Richards.

"Perhaps we can make the machine itself change the direction of it's repelling space..."

"...Changing the direction of force application inward rather than outward." Bruce's eyes light up "Causing the machine to exert pressure on itself, until it destroys itself. The materials it is made of are not very resistant." He says.

"Yes" I need to take some things on my lab. Johnny, help me." Reed speaks as he starts to hurry.

He then turns to Banner and nods gravely.

"Now it's a good time to get angry, Doc." Human Torch says.

Bruce removes his glasses and approaches the edge of the rooftop.

"That's my secret... I'm always angry." And it leaps to the battlefield below, growing and turning green as it falls.

When he hits a Leviathan's head, the transformation is already complete.

Raising his fists high, he hits the Leviathan again, finishing its destruction.

"HULL SMASH!!!" He yells before jumping towards more enemies.

...

"I have never been so happy to see muscular shirtless man in my life." Clint talks from the top of a building as he knocks down two chitauri chariots with his arrows.

His joke makes Natasha laughs, as he uses a chitauri weapon to take down more enemies.

A green object passes over her at high speed, hitting a chitauri chariot that was trying to ambush her.

She looks in the direction the missile came and finds the woman she faced at Oscorp.

"You owe me one. Two if you consider I spared your life last time." Shego casually talks while making the RPG made with Miss Militia's Power disappear.

"You..." Natasha narrowed her eyes.

"Calm down, calm down... We are in the same side." Shego says as she sets her hands on fire and attacks a nearby chitauri.

Considering the big picture, Natasha decides to put the enmity aside for now.

"I will make you pay some day." She says before shooting again.

"Aah~ If I got 25 cents for every time a red-head spy told me that I would have 50 cents. It's not much but it's weird that it happened twice..." Shego says as she rolls her eyes and starts to put in a little more effort to impress Hector.

"Hello, ladies~" human Torch hovers nearby and swoops down to flirt with Shego. He's tried it before with Natasha, but he hasn't had much luck.

And a woman with the "Black Widow" moniker has a lot of red flags, even though he thinks it would be Worth.

"Do you have a name? Or I can call your 'Mine'?" Human torch says to Shego.

Shego take a look at him and speak. "Sorry, handsome. I'm trying to snare a high-value man. I don't have to matchstick. Even though a matchstick usually lasts less than a minute."

"Ouch~ Fiery, huh? Like you see.. I like that." Human torch says while pointing to his own burning body. "here, take my card. I know we don't have time for that right now." He says while playing a card with his number.

"Do you really have a fireproof card Only to pick on girls?" Shego asks while looking at the card.

"Yeah."

"You know, You have no chance. But I can recommend my friend..." Shego smiles mischievoly. "A Woman with a crossbow in purple. You can go flirt with her. Be forceful... She likes it. The more forceful the better. It proves you are really interested." She says.

"Oh. I will keep that in mind. Bye. Don't miss me."

Shego laughs before scoffing and turning the card to ash with her corrosive flames.

She then starts going in the direction of Central Park.

...

High in the sky.

The battle between Eidolon and Thor is continuing.

The two clash at high speed. The shockwaves of their attack destroys any chitauri that flies nearby.

Eidolon has already landed some good attacks, but Thor only suffered minor damage.

On Eidolon's side, he still proves himself untouchable.

Dodging multiple lightning bolts in the air Eidolon counters with a colossal Explosion. That explosion would be enough to destroy a building, but Thor emerges from the smoke just a little dirtier.

'That's complicated...' Hector thinks as he maneuvers through the air.

He punches the air, seeming at first to be a useless action.

But a black circle appears below Thor and from the circle a giant black Mochi arm appears and hits Thor from an impossible position.

Eidolon punches again, but this time the circle appears from above and another punch hits Thor. They are crushing Thor between two punches.

Thor tries to break free, but Mochi is sticky. The black mochi then begins to change and morph into a ball, trying to capture Thor.

Thor's eyes glow blue before electricity is emitted throughout his body. A large thunder hits him like it's reloading his power. The energy is directed omnidirectionally and vaporizes the mochi, freeing Thor.

'*Sigh* If things were that easy, it wouldn't be Marvel...' Eidolon continues with his attacks.

Thor is proving himself to be a tough nut to crack, as expected. He is Strong, durable and surprisingly very fast ... All his attributes are high than Eidolon.

But Eidolon has two advantages. His move set is ridiculously big and he knows Thor.

Not to mention he has something he's unmatched.

His dodge skills from... He is basically untouchable.

Haki, danger sense, spider-sense, the Force and many others.

Thor has so far failed to hit Eidolon even once.

Even with fast attacks like literal bolts of lightning, Eidolon is still unscathed.

But even though he's doing great, Eidolon is worried inside.

The truth is that he is fighting on several fronts.

First of all, he's directly fighting Thor. And he is concerned about the destruction of the city and people's lives.

Though Thor sticks to his principles, and doesn't target innocent lives, he's not holding back.

Second, there is a battle in his mind with Thor. Eidolon is trying to use Telapathy to reverse the brainwashing. But Thor has a mind tempered by hundreds of years of life.

The effort is proving futile.

Third, he is Wrestling control of the Weather. His efforts are almost pitiful too. Compete against the God of Thunder, but he's lowering Thor's influence a bit.

Eidolon is also fighting on a completely disadvantageous battlefield, but he can't help it.

...

Helena looks up to the sky and sees the results of the battle.

Lightning, explosions, pillars of fire, shockwaves that shake the clouds.

It looks like a scene from the apocalypse.

But she is not surprised by the battle. She saw things like this already in her old world.

She is surprised at the level of strength Hector is displaying.

This is almost a Superman vs Shazam level of fight. And Hector is just a 16-year-old teenager.

She can also see that he has excellent control, the city is almost unaffected by the battle.

"Damn... Did you know that he is this Strong?" She hears Shego's voice behind her.

"No... He is not the type to flaunt his power." Helen responds.

"Hmm~ That is hot..." Shego says looking at a blue pillar of fire that looks like a huge laser.

The fire cuts through the skies, destroying a good part of the chitauri army.

She notices that he is helping even during his fight.

"By the way, I'm talking about Eidolon AND the fire..." Shego adds unnecessarily making Helena roll her eyes.

...

"So... I know Thor and Loki... But who is the Other god?" Tony asks on the communicator watching the battle.

Even he is forced to fly low because of the fight. The shock of the blows is enough to destabilize his flight.

He swears to himself that he will improve his suits.

"I think the other is a human…" Natasha says.

"Are you sure?" Tony asks as he sees Eidolon flying so fast and punching so hard it breaks the clouds Thor had just gathered.

"No…" is the only answer he hears.

Steve Rogers has previously said that he believes there is only one "God" and that he wouldn't dress like that.

But now he knows that even though Thor and Eidolon aren't gods, they're close enough not to matter.

Because when gods fight, the mortal suffers.

The struggle that is taking place in the sky is of a level that no one can interfere with. Maybe the Hulk... But the Hulk doesn't know how to fly.

And when Steve Rogers thinks about it, he sees the Hulk jumping high enough to meet the two combatants.

His trajectory meets the point where Thor and Eidolon will clash again.

Everyone watching is curious about the result.

But as if combined, the two turn towards the big green guy and hit him with an attack.

" "Don't interfere" " The voice of the two reverberates, before they return to fight.

The battle moves to another part of town where Steve Rogers can no longer observe.

Hulk is sent flying to the ground like a cannonball.

"Did these guys just bitchslap the fucking Hulk?" Human Torch asks in disbelief.

"I think so… Oh no. The big guy is angrier now. Oh, thanks god he is gonna vent in the ice giants." Stark speaks.

This is at least good news.

...

After a while, everyone hears a loud sound and looks up.

Eidolon and Thor had a huge direct confrontation. The biggest till now. The air distorted on impact and the two were sent flying in opposite directions.

Thor is sent flying diagonally towards the sky, but Eidolon is heading towards the ground.

Straight into a building.

At that speed and knowing how tough his body is, no one has any doubts that the building will be destroyed.

But Eidolon recovers and spins around in the air, when he touches out the building he doesn't go through the building like everyone expected.

The building acts like it's inflatable or made of rubber.

It distorts and ripples appear on the surface. The building even sways.

Eidolon used Gentle Criminal power [Elasticity] very quickly and now using his new foothold to propel himself towards Thor who still hasn't recovered from the previous clash, he starts to dominate the flow of battle.

Despite the advantage, Hector is worried.

His win condition is to release Thor from the brainwashing and not win the fight or kill Thor.

The problem is, that he has no idea how to do it.

Kill Amora?

Thor currently loves Amora more than his own life, most likely Thor would get angrier and try to avenge the bitch.

Destroy the Warlock's Eye?

He's not sure it will work that way. He can't risk it. In the worst case, the spell will become unbreakable without the artifact.

In fact, Hector is still hoping that Odin or The Ancient One will show up to free Thor. But with every second that passes, that hope wanes.

Eidolon's side eyes quickly a certain part of New York. The direction he's looking is where Bleecker Street is, which is where the New York sanctum is located.

He strangely doesn't see any chitauri there. The area is suspiciously empty.

'Mirror dimension, huh?' he thinks.

'Tch. I should have swallowed my pride and gone to learn magic from Ancient One. But there's no medicine to regret...'

The battle continues with Eidolon dominating it. Hector is already thinking about switching to another, more risky plan... Because he can't keep this stalemate for long.

Thor almost doesn't receive injuries and Hector doesn't even receive attacks. This is the kind of fight that can take days.

But at this moment, something happens.

Just below the fight, a building explodes.

Hulk literally walks through the walls while holding a Frost Giant which he uses to hit another Frost Giant.

The problem is that there were still people in that building and on that floor. These people start falling straight to the asphalt because of the tilt of the building.

But before they fall, an unseen force catches them and sets them almost gently to the ground.

High in the sky, Eidolon has his hand outstretched toward those civilians.

This isn't the first time Hector has saved civilians while fighting Thor.

During the battle, he deflected lightning away from the city and saves some people.

How did he do it? The Force can redirect energy. Like Yoda who condensed Palpatine's Force Lightning. Only instead of condensing, Hector only "slapped" the lightning away in a harmless direction.

His force user template, Starkiller is not the best with subtle things. He was created to be a walking nuke, so Hector lacks Much of the skills that the true master of the force has.

But improvising with martial arts (and imitating a little Garou and Bang from OPM) Hector deflect Thor's attacks.

But this time was different.

Eidolon focused a little too much on saving all those civilians and Thor didn't let the chance go.

Even with all the powers to prevent it, Eidolon was a millisecond too late to dodge the Mjolnir that was heading for the side of his face.

Thor swings at full power and connects.

But Eidolon is no slouch either.

Quickly becoming intangible, he let the hammer pass over the rest of his face harmlessly.

But the hammer had hit a little his first layer of skin. The impact makes Eidolon fly like a bullet to the ground with a broken jaw.

*boom*

Hector has enough presence of mind to remain intangible and phase through the buildings he would crash into. But he's not sure where is up and where issown, so after a while, he calculates it becomes tangible again so he can use the ground to stop being sent too far.

He can't let Thor alone.

Eidolon crashes into the street but doesn't stop. His body keeps going through cars and doing a vast scar on the concrete.

Anyone who sees it cringes.

After a period of silence, Eidolon stands up as if it nothing happened. Putting his jaw back in place he lets all dirt fall out his body because of a little power called [Always clean], which prevents dirt from sticky on him.

Many teeth have been broken and Hector's mouth is full of blood. Because of the mask, he can't spit, so he just literally swallows his own teeth.

Looking at Thor, who also watches him too, in the sky. Eidolon says.

"Okay... The child gloves are off now and the warm-up is over." After saying that, he removes the Sword of Actuation from his inventory.

The blood-red eldritch sword gives the creeps to the onlookers and even Thor himself feels uncomfortable looking at the sword.

Thor Instincts feels that Eidolon is now many times more dangerous. The air around him, his posture, the gaze, and the sword. Everything screams that if Thor doesn't give his all... He could die.

For those who don't know, the Sword of Actuation is a weapon made to kill the Godhand in the Berserk manga. Those of you who have read it know, that the difference between the powers of the antagonists, the Godhand, and Berserk's Main Character, Guts, is so ridiculous it's almost despairing.

The Enemy of Guts is literal gods who control fate, souls, and causality.

"Thor... Don't worry. I will not give up on you." Eidolon says "One day in the future, we will drink and laugh about the time that you were brainwashed by a bitch witch."

The Sword of Actuation, which was made to fight beings that are so strong that it seems hopeless to fight against them. This sword has been improved and evolved with the help of Gacha cards.

In simple terms...

*ziing*

Eidolon disappears and appears behind Thor. Thor moved fast and managed to avoid a bigger wound, but an ugly scar that runs from his cheek to his ear appeared and blood is spilled. Even his helmet was destroyed.

... The Sword of Actuation is a God-slaying weapon.

"I will try not to kill you... And you try not to die." Eidolon speaks coldly before attacking again.

...

A.N.: Sorry for the delay.

I would post early, but I had a problem.
