Aaron handed it to Coulson.
Coulson immediately felt overwhelmed, with a bad feeling. Looking at the unfamiliar, unknown phone, he hesitated but took it.
"Hello, I'm Agent Coulson of S.H.I.E.L.D."
"This is the White House. For anything else, Nick Fury will tell you. Right now, you must meet all of Mr. Aaron's demands, immediately, right now!"
"Mr. President!!!"
Coulson was helpless. If you have something to discuss, discuss it properly. Why call the President's direct line over a disagreement?
Coulson immediately called Nick Fury.
Soon,
Nick Fury's helpless voice came from the other end of the phone, "Coulson, let him do whatever he wants, just keep an eye on him."
Nick Fury was truly helpless!
The President called him directly and gave him a good scolding.
Nick Fury wanted to retort, "Everything I do is for the safety of the United States."
But the President was even more direct: "You have an opinion? Then discuss it with me? Discuss it with Congress? Discuss it with the Federal Court?"
"And then discuss it with all the generals, marshals, high-ranking officials, politicians, and capitalist magnates?"
Of course, if you talk about the people, then I'm not sleepy anymore!
"After June 5th, let's see who can truly represent the people."
"To tell you the truth, Nick Fury!"
"You and I are nothing. Aaron truly represents the will of all American people, and even the people of the world!"
Good heavens, if I don't let Aaron touch the 084 object, am I an enemy of the world?
I'm protecting American security and maintaining human peace by stopping Aaron, but it turns out I'm standing against the people?
Oh my God, has God abandoned this land? To let an East Asian represent the will of the American people!
Nick Fury was truly helpless.
He could ignore others, but he couldn't ignore the President's words.
At this moment, he urgently wanted to establish the Avengers.
Only by bringing out this supernatural team and placing it under the United Nations could he, to some extent, break free from direct federal government control.
Then he would have some right to speak up.
Nick Fury deliberately didn't think about whether Aaron also represented the will of the United Nations.
Coulson hung up the phone.
His eyes were filled with confusion as he looked at Aaron.
Something wasn't right. In the past, they were the ones who played like this, not giving face to either the FBI or the military.
But now, how come S.H.I.E.L.D. was being casually summoned and reprimanded by an outsider?
"Mr. Coulson, you wouldn't want to go against the will of all Americans, would you?"
Aaron smiled kindly, and without waiting for him to speak, he walked inside with Thor.
My lord, times have changed!
As long as I control the new life, before the formula is leaked, my words are God's will!
Fighting and killing are too boring!
To subdue the enemy without fighting is the highest realm!
Thor followed in a daze.
His mind couldn't process it for a moment, but when he saw Mjolnir, he instantly gasped and ran over.
"Buddy, I finally see you again!"
Behind him, Coulson and the others wanted to stop them but couldn't, watching helplessly as Aaron and Thor approached the hammer, powerless.
Damn it, they were S.H.I.E.L.D.!
These days, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s words don't even carry weight anymore?
"Buddy, thank you very much for your help. Now, I'm going to pick up the hammer and restore my power."
"After that, you will gain the friendship of Asgard and myself, and Midgard and Asgard will also have lasting friendship! Of course, those people are excluded!"
Thor held the hammer and grinned foolishly at Aaron, then changed his expression when he looked at Coulson and the others.
"Now, it's time to witness a miracle!"
Thor tried to lift the hammer, but couldn't.
He looked up at Aaron with an embarrassed smile, "I need to prepare myself mentally."
He took a deep breath, exerting all his strength,
and kept muttering: "Come on, baby! Have you forgotten the days we fought side by side?"
"Don't be like this, I know I let you down by leaving you alone here, enduring a day of torment from those awful Midgardians, but I promise, this is the first and last time!"
"Come on, let's get moving!"
"Please, I beg you, Mjolnir, I am Thor Odinson! At least, 353 give me some reaction!"
The hammer flickered, and in Thor's surprised gaze, it dimmed again.
It still didn't lift.
"Oh no, no, no! You're really just giving me a little reaction?"
Thor was terrified.
"Need help?" Aaron chuckled, finding Thor's appearance somewhat amusing.
Well, he admitted, he was currently building his happiness on the suffering of others.
The more Thor had boasted before, the more embarrassed he was now.
"Ahem, well, there's a small problem at the moment, but believe me, I can handle it!"
"Just as I've defeated many arrogant enemies."
Thor forced a smile, not wanting to tarnish the reputation of the Aesir gods in front of a deity from another realm.
Aaron nodded understandingly, "I know, there are always some bumps in life's journey, that's normal."
"Right, right, right, exactly! But this is just a small pebble on life's path, I'll deal with it quickly!"
Thor still wanted to try.
But Aaron spoke then, "How about I give it a try?"
Thor hesitated for a moment. He actually didn't want to, but he felt it was necessary to let Aaron know the problem wasn't with him.
His father, the King, had placed a spell on it; no one could pick up the hammer.
You can laugh at me if I can't lift it, but if you can't lift it either, then you have no right to laugh at me.
How about letting him try?
"Mjolnir, alright, I promise you, this is the last time I'll let someone else play with you."
Thor muttered and stepped aside, feigning generosity: "I promised you before, come on!"
"Believe me, no one but me can solve this problem!"
"This has the power of the King of the Gods on it!"
Aaron gripped the hammer handle and used a little force. It was indeed very heavy, like a stellar core.
With mere brute force, even thousands of tons of strength couldn't lift it.
But... Aaron wasn't planning to go all out. He wasn't here to lift a hammer.
"Melt for me!"
Thor was still muttering to himself, blinked, and then, the hammer was gone!
He blinked again, "Where's my hammer?"
Coulson and the others were also stunned.
Where's the 084 object?
How did it disappear?
Aaron's right hand ate the hammer?
Thor looked up, "Where did you hide my hammer? Did you pick it up?"
Thor's face was filled with horror.
The good news was, someone picked up the hammer!
The bad news was, that person wasn't him, but another God of Thunder!
Good heavens, so I'm the counterfeit?
As everyone was stunned,
Aaron watched the invisible stream of light pour into his body.
His face showed slight joy.

Chapter 57: Asgard's Vault! A Deal with Loki
"My son's hammer!"
In Asgard, Odin suddenly awoke from his slumber.
"Odin!"
Frigga, seeing Odin suddenly awake, showed surprise, but hearing Odin's muttering, she couldn't help but become anxious.
"What happened? What's wrong with Thor?"
Odin's face was filled with doubt and uncertainty, "I can no longer sense Mjolnir's presence."
He had cast an All-Father's magic on the hammer, a high-level magic superior to ordinary magic.
Its priority was very high.
No matter where it was, he could sense Mjolnir's presence and activate its magic by calling out, causing it to fly back quickly regardless of its location.
Even in distant galaxies, it would only take a little more time.
But now,
he had completely lost all sensation of Mjolnir.
"It seems to have... left our world?"
Frigga's heart tightened, "Did Thor encounter a powerful enemy on Midgard? Oh my, we should bring him back immediately!"
"Thor is fine."
Odin shook his head, "I must immediately question Heimdall. I need to know what happened on Midgard."
This kind of event, beyond his control and completely outside his plan, made Odin uneasy.
Midgard had always been Asgard's backyard.
Why would something like this happen?
Was it those sorcerers' doing?
Are they trying to provoke a war between Midgard and Asgard?
