The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics

Relying on his beast-like agility, the man successfully bypassed the outermost guards after observing the giants' camp for a while.

Perhaps because of their enormous size, these giants didn't pay much attention to small objects, and they didn't often move their gaze downwards.

The man deduced from this that the giants probably lived among creatures of similar size, so they were more accustomed to looking straight ahead.

This indicated that they didn't often deal with humans, indirectly implying that they weren't allied with humans, and the man also smelled a bloody scent hidden in the snow, the scent of human blood.

The bloody scent was strong and fresh, proving that a large number of people had died here recently. It seemed that the humans guarding the meteor had died at the hands of these giants.

Looking at their comfortable appearance in this icy and snowy environment, it was likely that this abnormal blizzard was also the work of these giants.

Tall stature, brutal behavior, and the unknown ability to change the weather, truly a terrifying group of creatures. It was indeed the right decision not to choose a head-on confrontation from the start.

The man crept forward, using the trees of Shennongjia to approach the center of the giants' camp little by little. His goal was the meteor located in the center.

A voice in his heart kept guiding him, so even without a map, the man could accurately move towards the direction where the meteor had landed.

Closer, closer, the man could feel that he was getting closer and closer to the destination.

He had to pass through several lines of defense before finally arriving at the destination, a deep pit. Presumably, the meteor was lying at the bottom.

However, the man encountered the biggest obstacle of this trip, a giant who looked like an ice sculpture. If the giant hadn't been wiping the hammer in his hand, the man might not have even noticed him.

This giant was like a real ice sculpture, composed of a translucent ice-blue crystal from head to toe, with only a red box wrapped inside his chest.

He didn't look like a living creature at all, but he was actually moving. The man could only attribute it to being a creature like a mutant.

The ice sculpture creature was sitting next to the meteorite crater. No matter what angle the man sneaked from, he would definitely be seen by the ice sculpture. The man was considering whether to find a way to subdue the ice sculpture.

Just as the man was running his brain at full power, the ice sculpture spoke.

"Don't hide if you've come."

The ice sculpture put down the hammer in his hand and turned to face the location where the man was hiding.

"You should have been summoned to come here, right? Then the person I'm waiting for should be you. Come out and take the hammer quickly so I can complete my task."

That's right, the ice sculpture sitting next to the meteorite crater was Laufey. He was completing the task given to him by the Serpent, handing the Sky Hammer to the last Sky Hammer Venerable.

Because the Serpent told him that the Sky Hammer Venerable would find his own way here, he simply sat on the ground and waited. He didn't expect to wait so quickly.

The man was startled. He didn't know how he had been exposed. He was clearly still hiding in the woods, and he was very confident in his stealth skills.

Could it be a trick?

The man had just this thought when it was negated, and of course it was Laufey who negated it.

"The current Laufey is extremely sensitive to temperature. To Laufey, you are like a mobile heat source. Laufey can never ignore your existence."

The man was silent for a while, and finally walked out of the bushes. Since the specific location had been discovered, there was no need to hide anymore. This would only deceive himself and would not have any effect.

"Name?" Laufey asked, looking at the short man.

The man was silent for a while and said, "Logan, no surname."

"Okay, Logan, my name is Laufey. As you can see, I am the king of these giants."

Laufey stooped down. Logan, who was only about 1.6 meters tall, was too short for him.

"Presumably you should have been summoned by something. Coincidentally, Laufey's task is to help you get that thing, so Laufey has helped you clear the obstacles."

Laufey gave way, and Logan was able to see the bottom of the meteorite crater. There was no meteorite there, only a short hammer that looked like it was made of stone.

"Go, Laufey's task will be over when you get that hammer."

At this time, Logan hesitated. Perhaps because he had been living in tragedy, he always felt that there was a trap hidden behind other people's kindness.

Looking at the hesitant Logan, Laufey curled his lips unhappily, then stood up, picked up the hammer, and walked towards the other giants.

"Where are you going?" Logan couldn't help asking when he saw this.

"To do the next task," Laufey said without looking back.

"Laufey doesn't have time to wait here for you to make a decision. Anyway, you've already come, so Laufey's task can be considered complete. It's up to you whether you want to pick up the hammer or not."

Laufey left without looking back, and the giants left with him. No one paid attention to Logan. To them, this suddenly appearing dwarf was not worth paying attention to.

In the end, only Logan was left in the forest. After a long ideological struggle, Logan, who was eager to get the answer, finally couldn't resist the temptation and slid to the bottom of the meteorite crater.

Taking a deep breath, Logan reached out and grasped the hammer handle. The next second, purple lightning burst out from the hammer handle.

A terrifying force swept through his body, and then he lost consciousness, but he quickly woke up again.

After waking up again, Logan's view of the world changed. Why should he hide in this deep mountain and old forest, why should he endure so much suffering.

It all seemed like there was an invisible hand, throwing the most torturous things in the world at him, with the purpose of torturing him.

Although the envoys thought so, Logan didn't know who the real culprit behind all this was, so he decided to inflict the suffering he had suffered a hundredfold on others.

Since he didn't know who did it, he would just take revenge on everyone.

If it was before, Logan might not be able to do this, but now he definitely could, because the great Serpent His Majesty gave him new power.

Logan raised the hammer with his right hand, and the adamantium claws in the knuckles of his left hand drilled out with a swoosh, also wrapped in a purple lightning. Logan grinned, looking like a real beast at this time.

Looking at the giants who were orderly walking into the teleportation gate, Logan felt that he could hitch a ride.

…

Zheng Xian looked at the frost giants making trouble in the city and had a headache. He immediately decided to send out all the superhuman teams under his command. At this time, the subordinate in charge of collecting intelligence handed over the latest news.

At this time, not only in China, but also all over the world, creatures that do not look like they are from Earth have appeared.
