The roar of the crowd was deafening. Thor scanned the sea of faces, all eagerly awaiting the clash of gods. The air crackled with excitement and the promise of violence.
"Place your bets!" a gruff voice bellowed.
"Who will triumph? The Thunder God or the War Deity?"
"You face the might of Asgard," Thor called out,
his voice carrying over the din. "Are you prepared, Hachiman?"
The Japanese god's eyes narrowed. "I have faced
countless battles, Odinson. This is but one more."
Without warning, Hachiman's hand flew to his sword. The
blade sang as it cleared its sheath, a streak of silver arcing towards Thor's
chest.
Thor brought Mjolnir up, deflecting the blow with a
resounding clang. The crowd gasped.
*He's fast,* Thor thought, readying his stance. *But I've
weathered worse storms.*
"First blood to you," Thor grinned, electricity
crackling around him. "Let's see how you fare against lightning!"
He hurled Mjolnir, the hammer streaking through the air.
Hachiman's blade flashed, barely deflecting the mighty weapon.
"Impressive," Hachiman admitted, his stoic facade
cracking slightly. "But your hammer is not the only mystical weapon
here."
His katana began to glow with an otherworldly light. Thor
recalled Mjolnir to his hand, the familiar weight settling in his palm.
*This will be a battle to remember,* Thor mused, excitement
building within him. *May the worthiest god prevail.*

The clash of steel on uru rang out across the arena as Thor
and Hachiman engaged in a brutal dance of destruction. Sweat beaded on Thor's brow,
his muscles straining with each swing of Mjolnir.
Hachiman's katana sliced through the air, its ethereal glow
leaving trails of light in its wake. The blade found purchase, carving a deep
gash across Thor's bicep.
Thor grunted, pain flaring. "First blood to you indeed,
warrior god."
He retaliated, Mjolnir connecting with Hachiman's shoulder.
The Japanese deity stumbled, his armor cracking under the impact.
*He's strong,* Thor thought, *but I can outlast him.*
"Your hammer packs quite a punch," Hachiman
acknowledged, rolling his injured shoulder. "But can it match the speed of
my blade?"
In a blur of motion, Hachiman unleashed a flurry of strikes.
Thor parried desperately, sparks flying as Mjolnir met katana again and again.
A few cuts slipped through his defense, painting red lines across his chest and
thigh.
Thor's eyes narrowed. *Time to show him the true power of
the storm.*
Lightning crackled around Thor's form, his hair standing on
end. With a mighty roar, he summoned a bolt from the heavens, directing it
through Mjolnir straight at Hachiman.
The Japanese god's eyes widened in shock as the lightning
struck. He raised his katana in a futile attempt to deflect it, but the sheer
force sent him flying backwards, his armor smoking.
Thor advanced, Mjolnir held high. "Do you yield,
Hachiman?"
Hachiman struggled to his feet, his proud posture now
hunched in pain. "A god of war does not yield, Odinson. We fight to the
end."
*So be it,* Thor thought grimly. *May the Allfather forgive
me.*
With a final, thunderous strike, Thor brought Mjolnir down.
The resulting shockwave shook the very foundations of the arena, leaving
Hachiman unconscious in a crater of shattered stone.
Thor stood victorious, but there was no joy in his eyes. Only respect for a fallen warrior.
