The 3D stereoscopic view had one limitation: it could only display surface-level perspectives and could not penetrate too deeply underground.
Its underground range was only about one-tenth of its horizontal range.
In other words, he could see only around a thousand ters beneath the surface.
And at roughly a thousand ters underground—there was actually a sealed tripod cha.
Good heavens. Were aliens invading Earth again… again?
[Anomaly Object Martian tripod cha discovered. Gained 100 Anomaly Points. Current Anomaly Points: 500 / 3,600]
After carefully observing the tripod cha, Luke felt an increasing sense of familiarity.
"Aren't these the Martians from the Tom Cruise version of War of the Worlds?"
Luke rembered that in the original work, these Martians were soft-bodied creatures with tentacle-like limbs, similar to mollusks. As the environnt on Mars grew increasingly harsh, their species faced the threat of extinction.
As a result, they formulated an invasion plan targeting Earth, secretly deploying their tripod cha to the planet many years in advance and waiting for the right mont to begin their assault.
However, in the movie, these aliens were not Martians, but invaders from a distant star system.
They cultivated multiple planets, including Earth, and periodically descended upon them to harvest life, using human blood as a resource to breed their species.
Yet, judging from the anomaly notification, these invaders were indeed Martians.
They used a form of high-energy transmission technology, disguised as lightning, to transfer themselves into the tripod cha and officially ignite the War of the Worlds.
These tripod cha were equipped with high-temperature heat rays and powerful force-field shields, capable of isolating them from human weaponry and effortlessly annihilating buildings and living beings.
In the movie, they overwheld the military forces of multiple nations at terrifying speed, slaughtering tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of people.
Humanity was utterly powerless to resist.
However, these aliens ultimately died off on a massive scale because, after inhaling human blood, they were unable to immunize themselves against the various technologies and bacterial viruses contained within it.
Humanity eventually won the war.
Luke quickly recalled the relevant details.
"Tch. Now any Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to invade Earth. They're really asking for death."
Luke glanced at it and lost interest.
These low-intelligence, trash-tier aliens couldn't even rank among the many civilizations that attempted to invade Earth. At best, they could only be considered cannon fodder before a true large-scale invasion.
If they couldn't even conquer an ordinary Earth,
then in a mixed universe that had fused countless worlds, including Marvel, their chances were even slimr.
Thor didn't notice anything unusual. After casually smashing a flying shark that seed to be aiming for a buffet, he said nonchalantly,
"I admit Midgard is a little more dangerous than I imagined, but only a little, you know."
"Overall, Midgard is still quite peaceful."
"After all, with us Asgardians around, those riffraff couldn't possibly harm Midgard."
Luke raised an eyebrow when he heard that. "Are you sure?"
Thor replied without hesitation, "Of course. Heimdall is still watching."
Thor waved toward the sky, as if greeting Heimdall, the guardian of the Bifrost.
Buzz—!!
Across the entire world, all networks were breached almost simultaneously.
Shockwave's figure appeared at the sa ti on televisions, computers, and large public screens everywhere.
"Luke, we have arrived!"
"I am Shockwave, supre commander of the Decepticons, from the great Cybertron."
"Earthlings, you have thirty minutes to hand over Luke and the Cybertronian relic, the AllSpark."
"Otherwise, our allied legions will descend upon Earth and annihilate all of humanity!"
"The countdown begins now!"
Shockwave's image shifted into a thirty-minute countdown tir.
Before anyone could react,
the ground in multiple regions across the globe began to tremble simultaneously.
Imdiately afterward, gigantic cha resembling three-legged octopuses, each standing nearly twenty ters tall, burst out of the ground one after another.
Several active tentacles also dangled from their abdons.
The tripod cha stood silently in the streets, waiting for the final countdown to begin.
"The person they just ntioned… that's you, right?"
Thor scratched his head, looking sowhat bewildered at the tripod cha about two hundred ters away.
"That's right, but I have a question for you. Didn't you say Asgard was protecting Earth? When did they arrive? Didn't Heimdall see them?" Luke pointed at the cha and asked calmly.
"Uh… well…"
Thor's eyes darted around. Then he seed to hear sothing and steadied himself, saying, "That's easy to explain. These damned Martians must have been planning to invade Earth before Heimdall took his post."
"My father ascended the throne more than four thousand years ago and unified the Nine Realms over two thousand years ago. Heimdall beca the guardian god around that ti."
"Since taking the post, Heimdall has been diligent and hasn't closed his eyes for a single mont."
"So it's reasonable to assu they've been lurking on Earth for at least two thousand years. Perhaps it was the deterrence of us Asgardians that prevented them from launching the invasion."
"Yes, that's exactly it!"
The more Thor spoke, the more animated he beca, even convincing himself.
Luke suddenly interjected, "Don't Heimdall's eyes get dry?"
Thor paused, staring silently at Luke.
I'm praising Heimdall's dedication, and you're worried about whether his eyes get dry?
But thinking about it carefully… why don't Heimdall's eyes get dry?
Thor tried a no-blinking challenge himself and finally reached a conclusion.
"That's a very good question. I'll ask him later."
"Ahem, let's get back to business."
Thor's expression turned serious.
"There's sothing you probably don't know. The Bifrost Bridge, which we use to transport armies, has been destroyed. At present, Asgard no longer has the ability to support the Nine Realms or launch large-scale military interventions."
"Therefore, from today until the Bifrost Bridge is repaired, Earth may face countless invasions."
"Now… you'll only be able to rely on yourselves."
Luke shrugged indifferently. "No big deal. It makes no difference."
"By the way, who destroyed the Bifrost Bridge?"
Thor's mouth twitched, and he silently turned his head away.
"You?"
Thor raised his hamr and began spinning it rapidly. "I'll deal with that big guy first. We'll talk later if anything cos up. Bye!"
Boom!!
Thor shot forward like a cannonball.
He slamd heavily into an invisible air wall about thirty ters away from the tripod cha.
The tripod cha instantly turned its head, its elongated mouth spewing out a searing white beam. Heat reaching hundreds of thousands of degrees blasted into Thor, sending him flying thousands of ters and kicking up thick clouds of smoke.
That attack would have instantly disintegrated an ordinary person, but Thor, the God of Thunder empowered by Mjolnir, had once endured neutron-star-level energy in his pri. Naturally, he had no fear of this level of assault.
He brushed himself off, completely unhard.
"Is that all you've got?"
Thor laughed mockingly, raised his hamr, and charged forward once more, simultaneously summoning several bolts of lightning to strike the tripod cha viciously.
Concentrating all his power,
Thor finally managed to break through the tripod cha's force field shield, instantly shattering the octopus-like head and the alien inside into dust.
The tripod cha crashed to the ground with a deafening boom.
A few seconds later,
Thor flew back to Luke's side.
He was slightly out of breath.
"Buddy, you guys are in serious trouble this ti. The destructive power of this thing isn't much weaker than the Destroyer armor."
"Although the cha itself is relatively fragile, their force field shields are extrely troubleso. Maybe only by detonating nuclear weapons around their shields would there be a chance to break through."
