Chapter 344: Chapter 344
Just as Arishem the Judge prepared to leave, an unexpected scene unfolded.
His gaze instinctively shifted toward his target, still bathed in the red energy beam.
The fading brilliance around Syd suddenly flared, glowing even brighter than before. Endless light converged in an instant.
In a blinding flash, the brilliance met the red energy beam, completely overpowering it.
The colossal energy was erased in mere moments, leaving no trace behind.
For the first time, a flicker of surprise crossed Arishem's mind.
This Asgardian god should have been out of power-so how?
Where had he drawn the strength to unleash such overwhelming brilliance again? And...
The sheer intensity of the light had grown even stronger.
As the light filled a 200-kilometer radius, the red energy beam vanished as though it had never existed.
Despite his surprise at the display of power, Arishem remained indifferent.
As the light began to dissolve the invisible barrier surrounding him, Arishem spoke in his usual detached tone.
"Asgardian, your strength is unexpected, but this is a futile effort."
With his words, the barrier around him stabilized, its density increasing significantly.
It seemed Arishem had not been using his full power earlier.
The next moment, a new red energy beam, deeper and more intense than before, materialized.
In an instant, it pierced through layers of light, striking the white-clad Syd directly.
Though Syd channeled the energy of the Space Stone and combined it with Sunshine, Divine Speech, and chaos magic, it wasn't enough.
The red energy beam tore through every defense, striking Syd's body.
Even his divine physique, at Level 5, began to disintegrate. Golden divine blood scattered into the void.
Finally, the beam engulfed him entirely, and Syd disappeared within its devastating radiance. Boom!
The beam continued its path, slamming into North America.
The collision triggered seismic activity-volcanoes erupted, tsunamis surged, and disasters spread across the continent.
But what shocked humanity most wasn't the destruction.
It was the death of the White-Clad Hero.
"Even the White-Clad Hero can die?!"
"That red giant is terrifying!"
As the world reeled in fear and disbelief, Arishem, floating in orbit, gazed at the spot where the Asgardian god had fallen without a hint of surprise.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Even if the target was an Asgardian god, it made no difference to him.
Having eliminated this minor obstacle, Arishem's form began to shimmer. Space around him distorted with a ripple of light, and in an instant, he vanished, as though he had never been there.
From afar, Syd observed everything.
His brow furrowed.
"Arishem's power..."
The display left Syd with a sense of impending doom.
If the Judge arrived soon, he might have no choice but to flee.
The vision faded, and Syd returned to reality.
Once back, he immediately resumed training a simplified version of Sunshine, hoping to raise
it to Level 5 before Arishem's inevitable arrival.
Perhaps then, he could change the outcome.

Stark Tower
At this moment, Black Widow and the others wore expressions of disbelief.
"Are we certain about this?"
"Ultron is really gone?"
"Is it true?"
The team pressed Tony Stark for confirmation.
Tony pulled up data on his computer and replied, "Yes, Ultron seems to be gone. There hasn't been any trace of his activity recently..."
Listening to him and glancing at the displayed reports, Thor and the others were stunned.
"Ultron was such a pain to deal with-who could have taken him out?" Hawkeye asked incredulously.
At his words, everyone turned their gaze to Tony.
"Based on surveillance footage from Sokovia, it looks like it was the White-Clad Hero- Thor's brother," Tony said, showing them the footage and glancing at Thor.
The White-Clad Hero?
Watching the footage, Natasha and the others slowly relaxed, their initial shock fading.
If it was the White-Clad Hero, there was nothing to worry about.
To them, only the White-Clad Hero or Messiah could take down Ultron so effortlessly. If it was one of them, it wasn't surprising at all.
Compared to Ultron, the White-Clad Hero and Messiah were the real anomalies.
After calming down, War Machine commented, "Well, that's good. At least the Ultron threat is dealt with. Thor, thank your brother for me."
The others nodded, while Thor scratched his head awkwardly. "I don't even know where he is
right now."
Meanwhile, in a dark and fiery domain, Odin was in conversation with a towering figure.
A deep, unfamiliar voice echoed.
"Odin, you cannot stop Ragnarok. I can feel it—it's about to begin!"
The speaker, Surtur, a fire giant with a body of molten lava and constant flames, growled, "All
shall be consumed in fire. Nothing will escape."
"I am the destroyer of Asgard, its end, and its doom. Asgard will fall by my hand. Not even
you, Odin, can stop me!"
"Until my destiny is fulfilled, I cannot die. You cannot kill me!"
Surtur's words dripped with mockery as he addressed Odin, who stood before him, clad in golden armor and wielding the Gungnir spear.
Odin's expression was grim. He knew the fate of Ragnarok was almost impossible to break.
Since the birth of Asgard, its end had been foretold. He had seen the prophecy long ago.
While Odin had tried to change fate before, every attempt ended in failure.
Even so, delaying Ragnarok was still an option.
His children needed time to grow-this wasn't their time to face Ragnarok.
Raising Gungnir, Odin prepared for action.
Surtur's expression shifted in shock.
"Odin, what are you doing?"
"Stop!"
