Chapter 97 - Chapter 97: The Mother's Touch

World of ??????????

Athena and the river god kept circling a dog.

"Thor, will you end up with a beer belly?"

The dog Thor looked solemnly at them and pressed the button on his body.

"I am Thor! For the glory of the Northern God!"

Athena chattered endlessly, even rubbing the dog Thor's belly!

Boom!!!

A thunderbolt struck Athena, leaving her charred on the outside but tender inside!

"I am Thor! For the glory of the Northern God!!!"...

Norse Mythology World

In the temple, Thor's corners of mouth kept twitching. The Thor from another world had fallen so low!

"I wonder what that beer tastes like..."

The usually aloof God of Thunder now had something to say...

Super God World

Thunder God Yan was surrounded by many sisters.

"Yan, can you hold your liquor?"

Angel Yan could only respond awkwardly. If she developed a big belly, she'd only meet a true love male god—

like those reading male gods in the world!...

Many thunder gods from parallel worlds vanished, planning to hide for a while.

From their respective believers, they discovered offerings now included boxes of beer!

As a result, Dionysus, the god of wine, directly lost his faith...

[Screen Continues...]

[Thor was happy to see his old friends...]

[But Rocket Raccoon's explanation of their mission suddenly triggered Thor, who collapsed into a chair...]

["We need you... Thor..."]

[Banner looked at Thor sincerely. Their strength was always far apart...]

["There's beer on the ship..."]

[Thor's eyes lit up. He looked up, eyes red, and asked tearfully, "What brand?"]...

Asgard

Thor's cheers grew quieter, while Dionysus' grew louder.

Thor's face darkened like Rhodes'...

[On Screen...]

[Tony and the others watched Hawkeye vanish, then return successfully seconds later...]

[In the first experiment, Hawkeye had traveled to the past and back...]

[So the team planned to assign times and places to find the Infinity Stones...]

["Let's start with the Aether..."]

["Thor, what do you know?"]

[The Avengers turned to see Thor motionless—lying aside in sunglasses, beer in hand, the other hand in his pants...]

[The tense atmosphere turned awkward...]

["He fell asleep?"]

[Rhodes said with certainty, "No... no... I'm sure he's dead..."]

[Awakened, Thor removed his sunglasses, rubbed his eyes, puffed out his belly, and began his tale...]

["I brought Jane back to Asgard... took her to meet my mother..."]

["My mother was killed... then..."]

[Thor's expression dimmed, his voice choked...]

[The Queen's death had hit him hard. If not for losing those around him, he'd never have become a true King of Gods so quickly...]...

"Frigga, I will protect you."

Odin's aged hand gripped Queen Frigga's tightly.

He was furious. If the Queen had died naturally, he wouldn't be angry. But now he knew she'd been murdered!

The Lord of the Ten Realms!

The All-Father was enraged!...

[The Avengers stood on the time platform, ready...]

[Black Widow shook with excitement, smiling...]

["See you in a minute, everyone!"]

[They instantly entered the quantum realm, shuttling through time...]

[Next second...]

[New York City, 2012—when Loki first led Thanos' army to attack Earth...]

[Tony and the others emerged in a nearby alley...]

[As they discussed assignments, the past Hulk dropped from the sky, lifted a car, and slammed it into a soldier!]

Bang bang bang!!!

Roar!!!

[Hulk was as gleeful as a giant child!]

[His violent appearance shook everyone, making Banner cover his face in embarrassment...]

[Captain America said abruptly, "How about you go smash something and get it out of your system?"]

[Hulk smashed a few things, pretending to be fierce...]...

"I don't know why, but I miss the old Hulk!"

"Alas, we'll never see Hulk's wicked grin again..."

Such is human nature—never cherishing what they have until it's gone...

[Hulk arrived at the Sanctum Sanctorum, where he saw the Ancient One destroying Thanos' troops...]

[Seeing her attire, Banner knew she was a sorcerer. "I'm looking for Doctor Strange!"]

[The Ancient One calmly replied, "You're five years early..."]

[But Hulk spotted the Time Stone on her chest and made a move...]

[Before he could act, the Ancient One punched his soul out with one palm!]

[Banner and Hulk were separated instantly!]...

Thanos, watching from off-screen, shuddered at the sight of this bald figure.

Fortunately, he hadn't confronted her personally—or he'd have been finished.

Who could withstand that palm? Luckily, his future opponent didn't know this move!

But Thanos wasn't worried. Once he had the Soul Stone, he feared nothing!

The Avengers were astounded.

"Fake! Who is that? She separated you with one palm!?"

"She knew Strange would become a sorcerer?"

Banner also stared in disbelief...

Inside the Sanctum Sanctorum

"I didn't expect to be exposed so soon..."

The Ancient One pondered. The timeline was completely broken, and the future had grown immensely complex.

This change might be good for the world.

Some might escape, no longer bound by fate...

[The scene changes...]

[Outside Loki's cell, Thor in a red cloak and Rocket Raccoon crept through...]

[They hid behind a boulder, watching Jane enter a room...]

[Rocket jumped down, turning to Fat Thor. "Okay, let's do it, Fatty!"]

["You distract her, and I'll shoot her from behind!"]

["We'll extract the Reality Stone and run!"]

[Thor sniffed, his voice deep...]

["I'll be back soon! There's a wine cellar over there!"]

["My father always kept a huge barrel of ale!"]

["I'm going to see if I can sneak a drink..."]

[Thor walked away from Rocket...]

Boom!!!

[A door slammed shut, startling them. The God of Thunder cautiously looked over—and his heart trembled...]

[A figure he missed dearly appeared before him...]

["Who's that fashionable aunt?"]

["My mother... she dies today..."]

[Thor's lips quivered, his eyes blurry. "I shouldn't have come... I shouldn't have... What a bad idea!"]

[Rocket waved at the panicked Thor...]

["Come here..."]

[Thor slowly approached...]

Slap!

[Rocket raised a paw and struck Thor, angry. "You think you're the only one who's lost someone? What do you think we're doing here?"]

["I know you miss your mother, but she's gone! She can't come back!"]

[Thor rubbed his eyes, wiped away tears, and slipped away unnoticed...]

["Thor! Ah!"]

[Rocket clenched his paws, furious, but had to proceed alone...]

[Meanwhile, Thor followed Queen Frigga, watching her secretly...]

[The Queen seemed to sense this and dismissed her attendants...]

["What are you doing?"]

[Her voice suddenly came from behind Thor, making him jump and scream...]

Ah!!!

[Both were startled...]

["It's better to leave sneaky stuff to your brother..."]

Loki: "?"

So I only do sneaky things??...

[Thor, terrified, covered his face with his clothes. "I'm not sneaking... I'm just preparing for a walk..."]

[The Queen looked puzzled at her son's behavior, leaning closer...]

["What are you dressed like?"]

[Thor lowered his head, fidgeting with his clothes...]

["I've always dressed like this... it's my favorite outfit..."]

[The Queen reached out, stroking Thor's cheek, finding the child before her strange yet familiar...]

["What's wrong with your eyes?"]

[Thor gripped her hand tightly. "Oh, my eyes... remember the Battle of Rohajin?"]

["I was struck by a sword..."]

[He gestured like a guilty child, explaining incessantly...]

[The Queen smiled, pushing back Thor's long hair. "You're not the Thor I know... are you?"]

[Thor with a wry smile, "I am..."]

[Queen Frigga shook her head, gently caressing him. "You must suffer a lot in the future..."]

["I didn't say I came from the future..."]

["I was raised by witches... child... I can see things beyond what eyes perceive..."]

[At this, Thor could no longer hold back. Tears burst forth, and he sobbed: "I really am from the future..."]

[The God of Thunder hugged the Queen tightly. In this moment, he wasn't the King of Gods or the God of Thunder—just a child longing to see his mother...]
