More Frost Giants began closing in on Saitama, icy killing intent locking onto that strange bald man.
Thor shouted urgently, "Saitama! Be careful—these guys aren't easy to deal with!"
Saitama glanced at the Frost Giants surrounding him, then at the furious giant leader, and finally lowered his gaze to the shopping bag in his hand.
"Man… if I don't get these hotpot ingredients into the fridge soon, they're gonna go bad…" He sighed, like he'd just made up his mind about something. "Then… I'll just finish this quick."
That casual yet battlefield-shaking blow from Saitama had made the atmosphere strangely eerie. The Frost Giants temporarily stopped advancing, staring at the bald man with fear and confusion. Thor used the opening to catch his breath, gripping Mjolnir tightly as he watched the giant leader's next move.
The giant leader's suspicion gradually turned into pure rage. As an elite warrior of Jotunheim, he couldn't tolerate being treated with such contempt by a Midgard mortal, nor seeing his subordinate crippled (the guy wasn't dead, but that arm was basically ruined). And Saitama's complaint about the ice being annoying was the final spark that lit his fury.
"Ignorant insect! You will pay for your arrogance!" The giant leader abandoned his struggle with Thor and focused all his attention on Saitama. He realized this bald human might be even more dangerous than the God of Thunder himself. He had to use his true power!
The giant leader threw back his head and roared, raising both hands high. Deep-blue frost energy erupted wildly from his body, and the moisture in the air was instantly sucked dry, condensing into countless razor-sharp ice spikes several meters long! These spikes didn't form randomly, they arranged themselves in a mysterious formation, completely blanketing the dozens of meters around Saitama.
"Extreme Cold Ice Prison: Piercing Formation!"
With a violent downward swing of his arms, thousands upon thousands of ice spikes moved like soldiers receiving an order, shrieking as they tore through the air from every direction blasting toward Saitama at the center of the formation! The spikes were so dense there wasn't even a sliver of space to dodge. Each one carried frigid magic capable of freezing steel and piercing tank armor. A wide-area sure-kill technique!
"Saitama! Dodge!" Thor's face changed in shock. He immediately hurled Mjolnir, trying to strike the giant leader's body directly and interrupt the spell.
But the giant leader was prepared. His free left hand instantly condensed a thick frost shield.
THUD!
Mjolnir slammed into the ice shield with a heavy boom. The shield shook violently, splitting with countless cracks, but it stubbornly refused to shatter—successfully blocking the blow.
"It's over…!" Thor's heart sank as he watched that horrifying spike formation swallow Saitama whole. The sounds of impacts, explosions, and freezing overlapped endlessly, and in an instant, a massive thorny forest of interlocking ice spikes rose at the spot—completely erasing Saitama's silhouette. Extreme cold spread outward; even Thor standing outside the formation could feel his hair and brows frosting over.
The giant leader let out a triumphant roar. "Now you've seen the power of Jotunheim, mortal!"
But before his laughter could even fade, a slightly impatient voice came from the center of that enormous ice-spike thicket:
"You made all this ice… now it's even slipperier."
And then
BOOOOOOM!!!!!!!
