In the chat group:
Golden Lion Shiki: "Isn't that Thor of Asgard across from the spatial rift? And his hammer—why did it return to him?"
Whitebeard: "What's wrong with the hammer returning to him?"
Golden Lion Shiki: "That hammer looks like a valuable artifact. Why didn't the purple overlord Thanos take it?"
Lucas: "Thanos didn't want to fight Asgard yet, and Odin was watching the whole time!"
Senju Hashirama: "What is Thor doing here? And looking at his appearance, it seems he didn't come here voluntarily—otherwise, how could he have lost his hammer?"
Senju Tobirama: "Indeed! Looking at Thor's appearance, he seems to have been thrown here by someone. He looks so embarrassed—could something have happened to Asgard?"
Uchiha Shisui: "That's unlikely! Although he looks embarrassed, he doesn't seem panicked. If something were wrong with Asgard, he should be more anxious."
Lucas: "In the future I've seen, he does come to Earth with this attitude. But the timing is wrong now—perhaps things have changed."
Pirate King Roger: "Then what should we do?"
Lucas: "Simple! I'll just go over and ask him."
Sword God Ryuma: "Are you sure this approach will work? You were enemies before."
Lucas: "Don't worry! That guy has a normal brain and is easy to deceive."
In the outside world:
The Space Stone in Lucas's hand glowed, bringing him to Thor's side.
"Who's there?" Thor was startled by Lucas's sudden appearance. He quickly distanced himself and looked at Lucas vigilantly.
"Still remember me?" Lucas looked Thor up and down and asked with a half-smile.
"It's you!" Thor became nervous and more alert.
"Don't be nervous, I don't intend to harm you," Lucas said calmly. "You don't even have your hammer now, so what's the use of being nervous? Of course, even if you had your hammer, it would be useless against me."
"Fine!" Thor thought for a moment and felt that what Lucas said made sense, so he abandoned his futile vigilance.
Lucas asked directly: "Heir of Asgard, why are you here? It shouldn't have anything to do with the Frost Giants!"
Thor asked with confusion: "The Frost Giants? Nothing happen with them. Why are you asking me this? I'm here because I disappointed my father."
Lucas continued: "Why? You are his finest son."
When Thor heard this, a proud expression briefly crossed his face, but he quickly became downcast again, looking at Lucas with dejection: "Isn't it because you?"
Lucas asked: "What does this have to do with me?"
Thor sighed and repeated what he had said to Odin earlier. He then described Odin's reaction and explained the entire situation.
In the chat group:
Sebastian Shaw: "So it turns out that Odin is training his son. But why did he choose Earth for this training?"
Lucas: "Probably because I'm on Earth! Of course, I think Odin has another purpose in sending Thor here—to test my attitude toward Asgard."
Pirate King Roger: "Group Leader, why did Thor come here in the original future?"
Lucas: "In the original future, Thor never met me. Do you remember his state of mind when he first encountered me?"
Uchiha Madara: "I remember! At that time, he feared nothing. Whether facing you or the cosmic overlord Thanos, he challenged without hesitation."
Lucas: "Exactly! In the original future, his arrogance was never checked. So he took it upon himself to attack the realm of the Frost Giants in the Nine Realms, and was eventually punished by Odin and banished to Earth."
Gengetsu Hōzuki: "The result is the same, but the reasons are completely different. Originally it was due to his rashness, but now it's because of his depression. How did he return to Asgard in the future?"
Lucas: "How else would he return? Naturally, his father permitted him to go back."
Senju Tobirama: "So, Odin's attempt to transform Thor failed in the original future?"
Lucas: "You could say that! Coupled with some unexpected situations at that time, Odin hastily ended Thor's exile."
In the outside world:
Thor, the God of Thunder, said with a dejected expression: "I understand the All-Father's intentions, but my heart doesn't obey my commands. Tell me, can I truly become the king of Asgard?"
Lucas patted Thor's shoulder reassuringly: "Don't overthink it. A hammer doesn't mean everything. I'm telling you, there are people in this world who can destroy Mjolnir."
Thor suddenly snapped out of his depression, looked at Lucas and asked in disbelief: "Are you serious? That's Mjolnir!"
Lucas said disdainfully: "Don't mistake me—it's just a hammer. Do you think it's some kind of cosmic treasure? The number of beings who could destroy it far exceeds those who can simply lift it."
Thor was stunned.
Lucas patted Thor's shoulder and said with a smile: "Think about it—why can't other people hold Mjolnir? Apart from the hammer's disapproval, isn't it because they lack the power to forcibly control it?"
Thor's eyes lit up as he looked at Lucas expectantly: "You mean that you aren't recognized by Mjolnir, but your power surpasses the hammer's enchantment. So you forcibly controlled it?"
In the chat group:
Howard Stark: "This is the future king of Asgard? His intelligence is laughable!"
Lucas had to agree—Thor was less like the prince of the Asgard and more like the foolish son of a wealthy landlord.
But considering the territory of the Asgardians, Thor being the stupid son of the landlord's family seemed fitting. After all, the entire Nine Realms belonged to their family.
Sebastian Shaw: "Letting someone with this level of intelligence become master of the Nine Realms—wouldn't the entire region be in danger?"
Sword God Ryuma: "Surely not! If Odin is intelligent enough, it would be safer to change his heir as soon as possible."
Lucas: "Changing the heir? That's difficult! Among Odin's children, Thor is already the best option. What can I say—it's a flawed world. Even the position of God-King is determined by choosing the least bad option."
Uchiha Madara: "So it means we don't need to be excellent, just better than the competition? How disgustingly mediocre."
Howard Stark: "Thor is the best of Odin's children? If Odin can't produce another, more capable child, then Asgard is certainly doomed."
Sebastian Shaw: "Speaking of which, I'm curious. In the original future, did Thor inherit Asgard? After his succession, did Asgard perish because of his incompetence?"
Lucas: "In the original future, Asgard's physical realm was indeed destroyed due to Thor's weakness. But the Asgardian people survived and eventually settled on Earth."
Howard Stark: "Really? With the Sorcerer Supreme on Earth, how could they occupy territory here?"
Lucas: "By that time, Asgard had experienced the destruction of their realm, and half their population was killed during their escape. When they arrived on Earth, their numbers were greatly reduced. They settled in the region where their myths originated—a peaceful corner that lost its former glory."
Senju Tobirama: "So even the Asgardian aren't eternal?"
Sword God Ryuma: "It seems Thor, the God of Thunder, truly is unqualified to inherit the throne."
Golden Lion Shiki: "Shihahaha! Group Leader, do you intend to eliminate Thor in advance for the peace of the Nine Realms?"
Lucas: "Certainly not!"
In the outside world:
Lucas took Thor to find Mjolnir, which had also fallen to Earth. Thor, having regained his fighting spirit, stepped forward confidently and grabbed the hammer's handle. But try as he might, he couldn't lift it.
"Father, why? Haven't I regained my fighting spirit?" Thor, the God of Thunder, was dumbfounded, but instead of losing hope, he was filled with questions.
Lucas studied Thor and explained: "Your power has been sealed by Odin. You can only lift Mjolnir once the seal is broken."
Thor looked at Lucas eagerly and said plaintively: "I can't even sense the seal within me. How am I supposed to break it? He's clearly toying with me."
Lucas laughed: "No, he probably wanted to observe my reaction. I've figured it out—it's 80% likely that my meeting with the Sorcerer Supreme alarmed him. Otherwise, why such coincidental timing? I had just visited Kamar-Taj when you were sent down."
Thor, the God of Thunder, said in confusion: "What do you mean? I don't understand!"
Lucas said: "I can break the seal for you. What will you offer me in return?"
Thor thought for a while and suggested: "There are many treasures in Asgard's vault. I could find a way to get one for you. Of course, the Reality Stone isn't an option."
Lucas was surprised: "The Reality Stone is in your Asgardian treasury?"
Thor nodded and said: "Originally it wasn't there. After I met you, the All-Father retrieved it from somewhere and placed it in the vault."
Lucas pondered this development. It seemed that his metaphorical butterfly wings had caused a change, prompting Odin to reclaim the Reality Stone that had been hidden elsewhere.
