Li Yue was struck by lightning, but he didn't feel any discomfort; on the contrary, he felt very comfortable. Some strange changes were even taking place within his body.
Moreover, he could feel the immense energy contained within the lightning flowing into his body through the Mjolnir.
It was then absorbed into the starry sky within his mental sea. Most of the energy transformed into blue light particles, orbiting the spherical core of the starry sky.
A small amount of energy was absorbed by the third faint light spot, which gradually brightened as it absorbed more energy.
Li Yue had already closed his eyes, enjoying the process; the energy entering his body was simply too comfortable... Meanwhile, not far from here, in a shop, four people sat around a table. A tall man with long golden hair chugged down the drink in his cup!
"This is good, another one!"
He slammed the cup in his hand onto the floor and shouted loudly.
This action startled the customers in the shop, who all turned their gaze towards him.
A beautiful woman sitting opposite the man quickly apologized to everyone, indicating that he hadn't meant to do it.
"What are you doing?"
"It tastes good, I want another one."
The man said innocently.
"Can't you just ask nicely, be a bit more polite."
Just then, the man suddenly stood up, his face filled with shock.
"This is the aura of Mjolnir!"
"Mjolnir? What Mjolnir?" (This is the original line from the movie; so Mjolnir came from here!)
A girl wearing glasses asked in confusion.
"Mjolnir, it's my weapon. I must go and get it back now!"
The man didn't say much and quickly ran in the direction he sensed it, completely disregarding the vehicles on the road, which drew a chorus of curses from drivers.
"What do we do now?"
The girl with glasses was the first to react and asked...
At this moment in Asgard, the Allfather sat upon his throne, his right hand gripping the Gungnir, the Spear of Eternity, his eyes closed in contemplation.
Recently, his "Odin Sleep" had become more frequent. The divine power of the Asgardian gods was directly proportional to their age; once their divine power reached a certain level, they needed to adjust the divine power within their bodies through sleep. Odin's Odinforce was too powerful, and he would adjust himself through the Odin Sleep at regular intervals.
Odin could feel his end approaching, which was why he was eager to pass the throne to Thor. However, Thor was now just like he himself had been in the past—belligerent and reckless, completely unconcerned with how much suffering his actions would bring to the people of Asgard. The current Thor was not yet a qualified monarch.
So Odin banished Thor to Midgard, hoping that Thor would learn how to become a worthy king.
But the contemplative Odin suddenly opened his left eye, a look of disbelief in his gaze, for he felt that the enchantment he had placed on Mjolnir had been broken. Someone had lifted Mjolnir and was inheriting the divine power of the God of Thunder.
How could Odin allow such a thing to happen? Mjolnir had always been the weapon he bestowed upon Thor; he would not tolerate anyone else laying claim to it.
So Odin directly rose from his throne, raised the Gungnir in his right hand, and brought it down forcefully. An invisible ripple instantly spread out from Asgard, almost instantaneously reaching across the Nine Realms.
Loki, who was about to see Odin at this moment, was shaken by this powerful aura. He had never seen such a sharp and formidable Odin. Only now did he realize how powerful the seemingly aged Odin truly was...
"What has caused the wrath of Odin, Lord of the Nine Realms?"
On a certain planet, a bloody massacre was unfolding. A giant, clad in armor and wielding a double-bladed broadsword, raised his head,
revealing a purple face. He looked into the distance, a hint of confusion on his face, lost in thought.
"My lord, this aura is...?"
"No need to ask further, continue with your work!"
Odin was indeed the supreme power of the Nine Realms; his rage shook countless strong beings. Everyone wondered why Odin, the Lord of the Nine Realms, was so furious. This was the first time Odin had been so angry in thousands of years.
At this moment on Earth, the meditating Ancient One also sensed Odin's aura and instantly understood the reason for his anger. She made several mysterious hand gestures, and the Eye of Agamotto on her chest rotated, emitting a dazzling green light.
Then, she stood up, drew a glowing circle, and stepped directly into it...
At this moment, Li Yue was comfortably enjoying the baptism of lightning, but the Mjolnir, which he held above his head with his right hand (don't ask how a hammer held with both hands became one hand; isn't holding it with both hands an awkward posture?), suddenly felt as if it had transformed from light as a feather to heavy as a mountain.
He simply couldn't continue to withstand the hammer's weight, but that unparalleled force instantly disappeared. Li Yue, however, was horrified to discover that the surrounding environment seemed to have been put on pause. He could see the shocked expressions of the distant crowd frozen on their faces, and he could also see the lightning frozen above his head.
Even after he released Mjolnir, it remained suspended in mid-air, showing no signs of falling. Li Yue couldn't help but think that Newton's coffin lid couldn't hold him down anymore.
Suddenly, a familiar voice entered Li Yue's ears. From within a yellow halo, a figure familiar to Li Yue emerged, dressed in a yellow monk's robe.
"Li Yue, long time no see."
The person smiled and spoke to Li Yue.
"Venerable Ancient One, why are you here? And what's going on?"
Li Yue pointed at the Mjolnir in the air, asking with a look of astonishment.
"It's nothing, I just came to see what caused the wrath of Odin, the Allfather and Lord of the Nine Realms, to force him to act. This is just a small time-stopping spell."
The Ancient One continued to smile, as if she were merely here for sightseeing.
"Damn it, that old immortal Odin really played dirty, saying whoever picks it up is worthy of becoming the God of Thunder. It's all a trick!"
Li Yue instantly understood what had just happened. It must have been Odin's doing that he suddenly couldn't lift the hammer.
However, he only thought these words to himself; of course, he wouldn't say them aloud.
"Um, Venerable Ancient One, will Odin come over and kill me?"
Li Yue couldn't help but feel a little scared. He had ruined Odin's plans; what if Odin silenced him? Although his superpowers allowed him to run, he remembered that Odin's weapon, the Gungnir, seemed to have a characteristic: "once thrown, it will always hit its target." This was specifically designed to counter him.
"Don't worry, Odin is already old and doesn't have the energy to personally deal with such matters."
Indeed, after hearing the Ancient One's words, Li Yue also understood. Odin was about to enter the Odin Sleep, and there would be even more matters in Asgard afterward, so he wouldn't be in the mood to bother Li Yue.
"However, I still advise you, it's best not to touch Mjolnir again."
"I understand, Venerable Ancient One."
"Alright, I'm leaving. Goodbye, Li Yue."
The Ancient One turned and slowly walked into the yellow halo, then disappeared. Suddenly, the surrounding world seemed to come alive and began to move.
To Li Yue's astonished gaze, Mjolnir slammed heavily onto the ground. An invisible wave swept through the surroundings, kicking up countless plumes of dust. The dark clouds above instantly dissipated, as if they had never appeared.
A deep crater was formed in the ground.
The crowd, having recovered, didn't know what had just happened, or why the hammer had suddenly fallen to the ground again.
