Hey, Li Yue, what just happened? Why did that hammer suddenly fall to the ground?"
It was Tony who spoke first, asking Li Yue.
"Uh, I don't know what happened either. I suddenly couldn't lift it anymore."
Li Yue could only make an excuse to appease them.
"So what do you feel now? Didn't you say that after lifting the hammer, you would gain the power of Thor?"
Tony continued to ask curiously.
"What do I feel? The power of Thor? Let me try."
Li Yue had been so busy enjoying the pleasure of absorbing energy that he hadn't really checked his own changes.
Immediately, Li Yue closed his eyes and carefully sensed himself with his mental power. He only felt that the energy in his spiritual sea had increased significantly, and the third star had become a bit brighter.
Li Yue tried to mobilize his own energy to flow down his arm into his palm, while thinking of the moment in Thor: Ragnarok when Thor used his divine power without the hammer, his body enveloped in lightning.
Under the somewhat expectant gaze of those nearby, a faint electric arc suddenly appeared in Li Yue's palm, but it was so weak that it probably couldn't even electrocute a fly.
"So, you built that up for so long, and that's it?"
Tony couldn't help but blurt out a complaint. It was like watching someone prepare for a long time, expecting a big move, only for them to let out a fart.
"Uh, it's probably because I can't use it skillfully yet."
Li Yue was also very embarrassed. He had imagined himself like Thor, enveloped in lightning, like a god descending from the heavens. Unfortunately, the ideal was grand, but reality was a bit awkward… However, Li Yue also noticed some changes in himself, which should have been caused by absorbing the lightning energy just now.
Mjolnir is not just a weapon. It was once Odin's weapon in his youth, then passed through the hands of Hela, the Goddess of Death, until it reached Thor's hands.
Its function is to make it easier for the Asgardian gods to gradually master their divine power. To put it simply, it's a beginner's artifact. Once one can use their divine power freely, it doesn't have much use.
This is why Odin, Hela, and Thor all replaced their weapons in the later stages.
However, the current Mjolnir has been enchanted by Odin, allowing mortals to wield the power of Thor.
And Li Yue should have been inheriting the power of Thor just now, but he was forcibly interrupted by Odin. He also has a physique that can adapt and evolve, so after the baptism of divine power, his body slowly evolved, allowing him to wield thunderous divine power.
However, because Li Yue's body cannot generate thunderous power on its own, he can only use the energy in his spiritual sea to simulate the state of divine power.
And because his body had not fully evolved, the thunderous divine power he produced had only this much power… At this moment, Thor, stripped of his divine power, was running towards Li Yue, but he was dozens of kilometers away from here. How could he run all the way on foot?
Fortunately, Jane caught up with the exhausted Thor in her car, picked him up, and drove towards here.
After Thor suddenly ran off, Jane and her group decided to first retrieve their experimental equipment and data to chase Thor. But upon returning, they found that their equipment and research data had been confiscated.
The people claimed to be from S.H.I.E.L.D. Jane wanted to argue with them, but she was stopped by the doctor. He had heard of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s reputation; a friend of his who researched gamma rays had gone missing after encountering S.H.I.E.L.D., and to this day, it's unknown whether he's alive or dead.
Because Coulson was with Li Yue, he did not participate in this confiscation. The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents didn't even leave Jane and her group any money to replace their equipment.
Jane ultimately ignored the doctor's advice and drove after Thor herself.
And she took Thor towards the direction where Li Yue and the others were… Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the sun had set, and night enveloped the world.
"So, this hammer can only stay here? It can't be taken away?"
Tony was a bit unwilling, but there was nothing he could do. A few hours ago, his Mark VII and F-HK2 armors had arrived, but even with the armor on, Tony still couldn't budge the Mjolnir on the ground.
This was something the usually narcissistic Tony couldn't accept.
"We just need to wait. Uninvited guests will arrive here tonight."
Li Yue smiled mysteriously.
"Uninvited guests? Coming for this hammer? I'll go and strengthen the guard immediately."
Coulson was a bit surprised, but he still prepared to order his subordinates to strengthen the guard and be alert.
"No need, Coulson. The person coming is the owner of this hammer, but the former owner. He has already been stripped of his qualifications."
"You mean that Thor who was banished to Earth? What does he look like?"
Tony asked curiously. He was indeed very interested in this Thor, and the others also showed curious gazes.
"Let's wait and see. I believe it won't be long before he arrives."
...An hour later.
"He's here."
Hearing thunder outside, Li Yue suddenly spoke.
Indeed, someone was forcefully rushing towards the hammer, and the agents who tried to stop him were all knocked to the ground.
And strangely, the originally clear sky gradually began to rain, even accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunder. Staff detected very strong electromagnetic waves emanating from Mjolnir, and they were getting stronger.
Li Yue and Tony and the others watched the surveillance in the tent. On the monitor, there was a tall, strong man, and the agents who fought him were all knocked down within a few moves.
"This is that Thor? He doesn't look any different, just a strong, simple-minded brute."
Tony wouldn't admit that he was a bit jealous of this man's strong physique.
"Should I go and stop him?"
Watching the agents being knocked down one by one, Captain America suddenly spoke, his hands itching for a fight.
"No need, Captain. Alright, Coulson, tell your men to let him pass."
Li Yue's lips curled into a smile. He didn't answer Tony, but spoke to Coulson.
"Don't stop him anymore, let him pass!"
Coulson gave the order.
Thor finally rushed to Mjolnir's side. Looking at Mjolnir standing on the ground, he smiled.
"Mjolnir, I'm here!"
Thor, with a confident smile, grabbed the handle of Mjolnir with his right hand and exerted a little force.
Unfortunately, what followed was rather awkward. His smile froze on his face because he found that even using both hands and all his strength, his hammer showed no reaction.
He finally understood his father Odin's words at this moment: he had been stripped of his divine power as Thor, and now he was just a mortal.
Thor slumped to the ground in despair, allowing the S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel to surround him and take him away without resistance… At the same time, in Asgard, Loki successfully learned of his true identity. He was a descendant of the Frost Giants. He began to question Odin, asking why he hadn't told him earlier!
He also understood why, ever since he was a child, no matter how outstanding he was, Odin, as his father, always favored Thor, and even intended to give the throne of Asgard to Thor.
However, Loki also misunderstood Odin's intentions. Odin's original intention was for Thor to become the King of Asgard and Loki to become the King of the Frost Giants, so that Asgard and the Frost Giants could achieve permanent peace.
This was also why Odin told them when they were young, "You are both born kings." Unfortunately, Odin suddenly fell into the Odinsleep and couldn't explain it to Loki.
