Meng Ran wasn't trying to brag about his abilities or act like a know-it-all when he told Thor this.
He genuinely felt that the God of Thunder wasn't fully utilizing his immense power. Over the years, Thor had become increasingly reliant on Mjolnir.
While the hammer did enhance his strength somewhat, it also restricted his development to a greater extent.
It was like Kakashi in Naruto. He was originally a genius ninja who became a Jonin at the young age of 12, but after receiving Obito's Sharingan, he became "Kakashi of the 55s".
He had a pitiful amount of Chakra he could use, most of which was consumed by that bottomless pit of a Sharingan.
Although he used that Sharingan to copy thousands of ninjutsu and became the Copy Ninja whose name echoed across the nations, would his future have been limited to this if he hadn't had that Sharingan?
Meng Ran also hoped that Thor could understand these things sooner, at least so he wouldn't be as helpless as he was in the previous movies when facing his sister, the Death Goddess Hela.
A God of Thunder should have the bearing of a God of Thunder. He shouldn't lose most of his strength just because he didn't have his hammer, not only getting beaten up by his sister but also losing an eye.
Thor listened to Meng Ran's words, pondering them in his heart while watching the ball of lightning in his hand constantly change shape.
Watching the lightning that shifted between the shapes of a bird, a hammer, and then swords, Thor truly understood what Meng Ran was trying to convey.
Thor looked at Mjolnir in his hand and said in a deep voice to Meng Ran, "I have indeed become too reliant on it."
"These years, I've only known how to rely on it for battle, without improving my own strength."
After saying that, Thor said earnestly to Meng Ran, "Demon, thank you. I've gained a lot from this battle."
Hearing Thor's thanks, Meng Ran also smiled and said, "Oh, my friend, you don't need to be so polite. You know, I'm also very grateful for your help."
"If what I said can help you, then that's best. I hope you don't mind my subjective evaluations and thoughts."
The God of Thunder heard Meng Ran's words and stepped forward, putting his arm around his shoulder, and then laughed heartily, "How could I possibly mind? You know, your suggestions have really helped me a lot."
"It's still early, let's go have another drink. Oh, by the way, do you have any methods to improve control over lightning?"
The sky was already getting dark as Thor walked with Meng Ran toward the town, asking him a question.
"I was just thinking, if I want to compress lightning like you do, I need to improve my control."
Meng Ran thought for a moment after hearing the question, then told him some of the little methods he used when practicing.
"Maybe you can try charging a phone, using your lightning power to charge it."
Hearing Meng Ran's suggestion, Thor scratched his head, a little confused, and then said, "Phone? Oh, I remember. Jane uses this thing too, she said she would buy one for me."
It was only after hearing Thor's words that Meng Ran realized he had forgotten that he was an alien and hadn't used a phone before.
Fortunately, Thor had already learned what a phone was through his interactions with Jane and the others, which saved him from having to explain it again.
Meng Ran nodded and continued to say to Thor, "Because the phone is very small and delicate, you need to be very careful to control the amount of electricity when charging it."
"When you can charge a phone quickly and efficiently, that means your control has improved a lot."
"That sounds simple, just putting electricity into that thing called a phone." Thor said as he unleashed a tiny bolt of lightning towards the ground.
Meng Ran shook his head after seeing this and patiently explained, "No, no, that won't do. That lightning you just released, although it looks small, is still too big for a phone."
"It needs to be about this small." He gestured with his finger, indicating the size.
A very thin arc of electricity appeared on his index finger, swirling around it like a strand of hair.
Thor, seeing Meng Ran's precise control, couldn't help but admire, "I see, I'll need a lot of practice to get to that level."
Then he added with a laugh, "To be honest, even when I was young, the lightning I released was much bigger than this."
"And I've never thought about shrinking the power of my lightning over the years. When fighting, I only thought about releasing more and stronger lightning to defeat my enemies."
After speaking, Thor showed a hint of reminiscence and continued, "It really is nostalgic to start learning again. I always had endless lessons when I was young."
Meng Ran patted Thor on the shoulder, interrupting his memories. It turned out that with their rapid travel, the town was already in sight.
"Oh ho, we're here so quickly," Thor said, snapping back to reality.
Then he saw the tavern where he had drunk with Dr. Selvig last time. So, he led the Demon towards the tavern.
"Wow, I remember this place. Last time, many humans were copulating on this roof."
Venom also saw the tavern at this moment and said to Meng Ran through mental communication that only the two of them could hear.
Meng Ran was also deeply moved when he heard Venom's words. He remembered that the roof of this tavern had left a deep impression on him when he was watching over Thor last time.
He wondered if the roof was as lively now as it was last time.
Meng Ran and Thor soon entered the tavern.
The tavern was bustling with activity, many people loudly chatting and drinking large mugs of beer.
Pretty waitresses, dressed in sexy short skirts, swayed their hips as they served tables with trays in hand.
Meng Ran had now returned to his normal size and retracted his monstrous maw.
Although his attire was still eye-catching, most of the patrons didn't pay him much attention in the dim environment of the tavern.
"Good evening, gentlemen. What can I get for you?" the bartender asked warmly upon seeing Thor and Meng Ran take a seat.
Although he found Meng Ran's outfit odd, he had worked in nightlife for years and seen all sorts of people.
He just assumed Meng Ran and Thor were Demon fans, here to cosplay.
