Chapter 81: Jane Foster! The Approaching Storm!
That afternoon...
Su Ye took Jean and left the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.
When they left...
Only Beast Hank and Professor X saw them off...
This feeling of being cold-shouldered was actually very painful; Jean felt a sense of desolation in her heart.
Her departure wasn't something worth being sad about; on the contrary, it was a huge, celebratory event.
The monster in the school had finally left!
They were completely safe!
As she thought about this...
Jean's hands subconsciously clenched, and the [Phoenix Force] within her began to stir restlessly.
Until...
Su Ye's palm grasped Jean's trembling little hand.
"The awe of the weak toward the strong is carved into their bloodlines."
"The difference between them and you is like that of ants and a giant."
"You are a volatile giant; if you lose control even slightly, you will threaten everyone's life."
"They distance themselves from you, loathe you, mock you, and stay away from you—all these are just means of self-preservation."
"When you can control your own abilities as I do, this distrust will disappear."
"They will worship you just as they worship me, and hang your Hero posters in their Room."
Su Ye coaxed her gently, just a little bit more, and he would have been able to pull the bewildered girl into his arms.
"You are right."
"I should overcome the fear in my heart."
"And learn to control this power."
Jean nodded noncommittally in response, casting a look of gratitude toward Su Ye.
In this World, the number of people who were kind to her was pitifully small.
Spending time with Su Ye, a longing for love sprouted in her heart.
But as a naive girl, she didn't know how to express it.
However, when it came to matters of the heart, Su Ye was no novice.
Nick Fury was in the front, driving the car with a dark expression.
He watched the two talking in the back through the rearview mirror.
The distance between Su Ye and Jean was getting closer and closer, and their hands were held together.
Sitting in the front driving, he looked like a third wheel no matter how you looked at it!
Hmm...
A black one at that...
Seeing that the two in the back seat were about to take things further,
Nick Fury perhaps couldn't stand it and slammed on the brakes.
Clunk—!
The car, which stopped suddenly, caught the two in the back off guard.
Jean fell directly into Su Ye's arms, looking around in a daze.
"Fu..."
Su Ye was also stunned for a moment; he was about to start cursing.
But Nick Fury turned his head and made a shushing gesture.
At this moment...
On the originally flat interstate highway, a broken-down RV happened to block the road ahead.
It was a modified RV, looking just like a monster clad in armor!
The RV was filled with various instruments and equipment; it looked eerie no matter how you looked at it!
This was simply too unreasonable...
Nick Fury didn't know what that equipment was for.
But people who drove an RV to the suburbs and lingered in the wilderness didn't look like good news, no matter how you looked at it.
Because some guys who made [Enhancers] loved doing this kind of thing.
This group of illegal operators never minded moonlighting as robbers.
"Don't make a sound..."
"I'll go ask about the situation..."
Nick Fury pulled out the handgun tucked at his waist and, right in front of the two, skillfully chambered a round.
While disengaging the safety of the firearm, he rolled down the window.
Pretending to be an enraged driver, he roared angrily at the RV blocking the road ahead.
"Hey! Bro——!"
"This is an interstate highway, not your living Room!"
"You'd better move your car quickly, right now! Immediately!"
Nick Fury didn't get out of the car; he just poked his head out a little and roared at the outside.
At this time...
Hearing Nick Fury's voice, a blonde woman got out of the car.
She waved at Nick Fury, just about to say something, when her expression suddenly changed drastically.
Because she noticed that Nick Fury was black, she subconsciously covered her wallet tightly.
She looked toward the direction of the RV and called out to her companions.
Soon...
An old man holding a wrench and a rebellious girl holding a stun gun appeared by her side.
Su Ye tilted his head and also saw the scene ahead.
"Why do I feel like we are the bad guys?"
"Is it because of the skin color?"
Su Ye showed a gloating smile, teasing Nick Fury in the driver's seat.
"Mother! F*ck!"
"Do I look like a bad guy!"
Nick Fury's face turned purple with anger; he turned his dark head to look at the two in the back seat.
Jean was startled, her face turning pale, and she nodded almost instinctively.
But on second thought, he was Su Ye's friend, so saying that wouldn't be very polite.
"No..."
"No..."
"You look quite kind-hearted, really..."
Jean said with a guilty conscience, her eyes drifting toward the car window, not daring to make eye contact with Nick Fury.
Even though the other party only had one eye...
"Damn!"
"You bunch of bastards!"
Nick Fury slapped the steering wheel in anger, then slumped into his seat.
He fished out a blister pack of strong antihypertensive pills that looked like milk tablets from his pocket, popped a few, and shoved them into his mouth.
After closing his eyes and relaxing for a while, his complexion looked much better.
Just then...
The three people in front had already walked to the car.
"Hello..."
"Our RV has a small problem."
"It won't start now; could you help us tow it?"
The blonde woman came to the window; she appeared a bit nervous, requesting Nick Fury's help.
"Tow it?"
"Why not call a towing company?"
Nick Fury sneered coldly, even gesturing with the firearm in his hand.
He signaled to the stranger in front of him that he was a tough character and she had better not play any tricks.
However...
Su Ye was stunned for a moment...
Because he recognized the blonde woman in front of him; he had even eaten with her before!
"Dr. Jane?"
"Why are you here?"
Su Ye saw the woman in front of him and greeted her in surprise.
Jane Foster!
She was a scholar focused on researching celestial phenomena and analyzing cosmic wormholes.
Su Ye, as Dr. Cho's boyfriend, had attended some academic seminars with her.
He had seen her several times...
She followed her mentor, Dr. Erik, and was mostly silent.
Sometimes, unable to stand the oppressive academic atmosphere, she would quietly sneak away.
By the buffet area, she would rely on eating to relieve her tension.
That was where Su Ye had met her.
And it happened several times like that.
Over time...
The two got to know each other... they would even critique every dish...
Selecting which was the worst and which was the best food of the night.
It's just that...
Su Ye had not expected to meet this Dr. Jane here.
"Su Ye?"
"Why are you in the car?"
"Were you [kidnapped] by this guy?"
"No! You are the strongest Superhero in the World!"
Dr. Jane walked around to the back seat, greeting Su Ye happily.
It must be said...
The thought processes of these geniuses were always different from ordinary people!
"He is Nick Fury, the big boss of S.H.I.E.L.D."
"He isn't a bad person, but he can't be considered a good one either."
Su Ye explained to Dr. Jane.
What he said was like saying a whole lot of nothing.
"Su Ye, can you do me a favor?"
"Help me move the car."
"Thank you."
Dr. Jane pressed her palms together, pleading with a look on her face.
They were the [Twin Stars] of the buffet area, after all!
"No problem."
Su Ye said with a smile, then slowly raised his hand toward the vehicle in front.
Creak—!
A harsh sound rang out, like the wail of a dying person seeing the God of Death.
The RV, which looked like it was clad in a layer of armor, actually floated in the air and moved toward the side of the road.
"Dr. Jane, where are you going?"
Su Ye asked curiously while sitting in the car.
"New Mexico."
"We tracked an abnormal thunderstorm phenomenon there."
"This has very important research value for me."
Dr. Jane said excitedly, and pulled a notebook out of her pocket.
"Stop, stop!"
"Don't show me that damn thing!"
Su Ye only glanced at the dense mathematical formulas on it.
He immediately felt his head swim and really wanted to close his eyes and take a nap.
"I really don't know how Dr. Cho fell for you."
"She is the recognized cold and proud goddess in our circle."
Dr. Jane complained helplessly, then closed the notebook.
"Fury, do me a favor."
"Fix the car for Dr. Jane."
Su Ye didn't answer the question, but instead said this to Nick Fury in the front.
He hoped to use this method to change the subject and avoid an awkward situation.
After all...
Jean, this innocent, beautiful girl, was still snuggled in his arms...
It's just that...
When he heard this unreasonable request, Nick Fury immediately refused!
"What the f*ck?"
"You actually want me to fix the car?"
"I am the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.; even the President doesn't have the authority to order me around!"
Chapter 82: Event Triggered! Thor is about to descend!
On the interstate highway...
"Pass me the wrench."
Nick Fury's reluctant voice rang out from the bottom of the RV.
He was sweating profusely, struggling to fix the RV.
"Oh..."
Jean raised her palm and activated her telekinesis.
The wrench in the toolbox spun and flew into the bottom of the car.
Bang—!
A dull thud sounded!
Immediately after...
Nick Fury, holding his head, crawled out from under the car, grimacing.
"Damn it!"
"You bunch of superpowered jerks!"
"Can't you just move your precious little hands and pass it to me?!"
He was so angry that the veins on his forehead were throbbing, scaring Jean into retreating quickly and hiding in Su Ye's arms.
"Shit!"
"Dr. Erik, come over and give me a hand."
Nick Fury knew he couldn't count on Jean anymore, so he could only speak to the old man on the side.
As for that guy Su Ye, he didn't want to see that face for now, lest he faint from anger!
Only this guy could make the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. fix a car for a passerby!
This was something even the U.S. President couldn't do!
"Coming."
Erik's face wore an indescribable, complex emotion.
Once upon a time...
Whenever he heard the name [S.H.I.E.L.D.], he would feel a chill down his spine.
Because he had a Dr. friend who had an accident during a gamma experiment.
Whenever he lost control of his emotions, he would turn into a green monster and cause massive destruction.
Ever since he had contact with people from [S.H.I.E.L.D.]...
His friend had mysteriously vanished, and there was no news of him since.
Dr. Erik once speculated that this friend must have been secretly dealt with.
So...
Whenever he heard [S.H.I.E.L.D.], he felt fear.
But now...
The Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. was actually fixing his RV.
The reality was so absurd that he felt like he was dreaming!
"Hey, Dr. Erik."
"Can this black man who is guest-starring as a one-eyed pirate on land really fix our car?"
The rebellious girl who had put away her stun gun tugged at the old man's sleeve and whispered.
"I can hear you!"
"I can even fix a tank!"
Nick Fury glared at the girl and gave the old man a look, signaling him to hurry over.
"Wow..."
"You're so amazing..."
The rebellious girl clapped her hands artificially, provoking him with a sarcastic tone.
"If you do that again!"
"I'll have your mentor deduct all your credits!"
A black finger poked out from under the car, and Nick Fury's angry roar followed.
Scared, the rebellious girl quickly covered her mouth, retreated a few steps, and walked to Dr. Jane's side.
She was a student of Dr. Jane, and the purpose of this trip was to earn more credits.
It wasn't worth offending a big shot like [Nick Fury].
At this moment...
To thank Su Ye, Dr. Jane was treating him to a Coke.
The first sip of ice-cold Coke never gets old.
Su Ye let out a satisfied sigh, admiring the desolate fields around them.
"Su Ye, have you decided which university you want to attend?"
Dr. Jane asked with concern.
Like Dr. Cho, she was also a genius who skipped grades.
She had earned her doctorate when she was only in her twenties.
By comparison...
Su Ye would only graduate from high school in a few months.
According to U.S. tradition...
Usually, at this time, one would need to find someone to write a recommendation letter.
The person writing this letter is usually a mentor or a prestigious person in society.
The higher the status, the more valuable the recommendation letter, and the easier it is to stand out among countless students.
This is a highly unfair privilege...
Even students with poor grades can get into a good university as long as a big shot writes a recommendation letter.
And they can get high scholarships without carrying student loans that take decades to pay off.
Joining a mentor's team and doing odd jobs...
You can make a name for yourself and get a diploma from a prestigious university!
With Su Ye's current connections, he would naturally choose this path!
After all...
His friends were always trying to package him as a genius.
Even though Su Ye didn't go to school much on weekdays.
"I'm not sure..."
"I don't usually pay attention to small things like this."
Su Ye drank his Coke and replied to Dr. Jane's inquiry with an indifferent attitude.
"Then are you interested in coming to the university where I work?"
"I'll write you a recommendation letter."
"I'll be your mentor."
"How about studying stars with me, camping outdoors, and feeling nature?"
Dr. Jane suggested excitedly, her eyes burning as she looked at Su Ye.
Su Ye was a Superhero, and his abilities were so comprehensive!
As long as Su Ye was by her side, safety was guaranteed!
Even if they encountered something like today, Su Ye could easily solve it!
Besides...
Dr. Cho once said...
Su Ye was a great cook, comparable to a chef!
Dr. Jane had long wanted to taste Su Ye's cooking!
"No."
"I like lying on the sofa."
"Blowing the AC and playing games."
Su Ye shook his head and refused the invitation without thinking.
"How do you know you won't like it if you don't try?"
Dr. Jane refused to give up, still trying hard.
Suddenly...
A golden screen appeared in front of Su Ye.
...
[Ding—!]
[Detected an accidental encounter with Dr. Jane, the Thor major event is about to begin!]
[Every decision you make will affect the destiny of everyone!]
[Option 1: Refuse the invitation, get item reward: Casket of Ancient Winters!]
[Option 2: Accept the invitation, get talent reward: Power of Thor!]
...
Su Ye glanced at the system rewards and suddenly realized.
Dr. Jane's trip this time must involve Thor.
If he accepted the invitation, he would inevitably come into contact with Thor.
And Asgard behind him.
And...
The God of Mischief: Loki.
To be honest...
Su Ye had always been curious about the Valkyrie.
Whether these daughters of the gods were as beautiful as they were in anime.
After making up his mind...
"Alright then..."
"I'll accompany you on this trip."
"But I have to send Jean home first."
"And remind Little Wanda to help me look after things."
Su Ye pretended to be helpless and reluctantly accepted the invitation.
"Yes!"
"As soon as possible!"
"I'll send you the location on your phone!"
"By the way, buy some ingredients and let us taste your cooking!"
Hearing Su Ye agree, Dr. Jane clenched her fists excitedly and made a cute celebratory gesture.
"Sigh..."
"I really can't do anything with you..."
"Wait for me here, I'll be back soon."
Su Ye shook his head and held Jean in his arms in a [bridal carry].
His body lifted off the ground and flew rapidly towards the city.
At this time...
Hearing the noise, Nick Fury poked half his head out from under the car.
Watching his good brother leave him behind and fly away with a beautiful girl.
His lips trembled with anger.
"Asshole!"
"You did it again!"
"Take me with you!"
...
Su Ye's seaside Villa...
Wanda was comfortably leaning on the sofa, holding the controller, focusing on playing a tense and exciting dress-up game for beautiful girls.
She kicked off one slipper, revealing her fair, tender little feet, and stepped on a pillow nearby.
In front of the coffee table...
Megan was kneeling on the ground, helping Wanda with her homework.
Suddenly...
A sound of landing echoed outside...
Wanda turned her head, glanced at the window, and then turned her head back.
The door opened...
Su Ye entered the Villa with Jean in his arms.
"There are unworn new slippers in the cabinet in the entryway."
"There is a spare room on the second floor, you can choose one you like."
"Besides me, there are two little cuties at home."
"The cat is called: Hakimi."
"The dog is called: Shield."
Su Ye introduced the family members to Jean.
His voice was not loud, but Megan heard it clearly.
Hearing the Master's voice, she immediately put down the pen in her hand.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Megan ran to the entryway and gave Su Ye an affectionate hug.
"Master, welcome home!"
Chapter 83: Wanda and Jean! Chaos Magic VS Phoenix Force!
At the entrance...
Jean sat on a bench and changed into a pair of orange slippers.
She politely raised her hand, attempting to greet Megan.
But when she saw Megan's face and her human-mimicking smile...
Her hand froze in mid-air, and the expression on her face became stiff.
"She is...?"
Jean stared at the little girl, frowning slightly as she asked in a low voice.
Although she looked very much like a real person, Megan gave her an uncanny sense of being something else entirely.
Like some kind of monster [disguised as a human].
"She is my artificial intelligence assistant."
"You can call her Little Megan."
"She is also a Companion Robot."
Su Ye picked up Megan and spun her around before putting her back on the ground, dotingly rubbing Megan's long blonde hair.
"Artificial intelligence..."
"Robot..."
Jean showed a surprised expression, her small hand covering her slightly parted mouth.
She had only ever heard of such concepts in science fiction movies.
With her doubts answered, she let out a heavy sigh of relief.
Only...
She didn't dare touch Megan at all, deeply afraid of hurting the child.
Su Ye saw Jean's concern, so he raised his hand to pull the girl by the waist, leading her toward the living Room on the first floor.
"Come with me."
"I'll introduce you to another family member."
"She is Pietro's younger sister, named Wanda."
"She is a Mutant, just like you."
Su Ye spoke as he led Jean toward the living Room.
Hearing Su Ye's voice getting closer, a panicked expression appeared on Wanda's little face.
She hurriedly put down her controller and lunged toward the coffee table, imitating Megan by kneeling there to do her homework.
Only...
She wasn't Megan; she didn't have knees made of iron.
As soon as her delicate skin touched the floor, she bared her teeth in pain.
Just then...
Su Ye walked into the Room with Jean.
"Stop pretending."
"I saw exactly what you were doing with my own eyes."
Su Ye gave Wanda a look, mercilessly exposing the girl's little scheme.
"Don't you also make Stark and Banner do your homework for you?"
"I saw it last time you took me there to play."
Wanda muttered quietly with a guilty conscience.
"What did you say?"
Su Ye raised his voice slightly; he hadn't expected Wanda to learn how to talk back.
"Nothing..."
Wanda covered her mouth, shaking her cute little head.
She glanced toward Jean, and her gaze suddenly turned cold.
Because she could feel the Phoenix Consciousness within Jean emitting an extremely strong hostility.
Wanda put down her pen, and wisps of crimson energy coiled around her fingertips.
At this moment...
Jean's face also became panicked...
Because she could feel the energy inside her losing control again...
The next moment...
Brilliant, multi-colored energy surged from Jean's body, transforming into a burning fire phoenix.
Not to be outdone, Wanda manipulated her Chaos Magic and released an energy blast toward Jean!
On one side was the Phoenix Force!
On the other was Chaos Magic!
The moment these two powerful energies collided!
Everything around them, including the Villa, was turned to dust!
Even the ground beneath their feet evaporated into thin air, turning into a massive crater nearly a thousand meters wide!
Jean, with a pained expression, floated in mid-air, trying hard to regain control of her body.
Wanda noticed Jean's abnormality and, like a wandering ghost, flew behind her.
She raised her delicate hand and used Chaos Magic once more to invade Jean's body.
Together, she and Jean forcibly suppressed the violent Phoenix Consciousness!
At this moment...
Aside from Jean and Wanda...
Su Ye was the only one left alive on the scene...
Su Ye had immediately deployed his Biological Field...
He protected Little Megan in his arms, as well as Hakimi, who was perched on his shoulder having switched to the Origin Spinosaurus form!
"Old Wu! Old Wu!"
"Old Wu! Wuu wuu!"
Hakimi chewed gum to recover health while glaring unkindly toward Jean and Wanda.
As for Shield...
This Kryptonian Shiba Inu was directly blown away by the shockwave of the explosion.
With a scream, he flew out of the atmosphere, shoulder to shoulder with satellites in planetary orbit.
However...
Little Megan, held in Su Ye's arms, was still shivering uncontrollably.
Even the internal components of her body were making clattering sounds from the impact.
Could it be...
She was scared out of her wits...
This robotic body was just too fragile.
Once Dr. Cho researched the [Regeneration Cradle] technology...
He would definitely use Vibranium to build a new body for Megan.
[Megan: Family, this is too hard for me!]
[Megan: Who understands the feeling of a horror movie villain being scared to tears by a Superhero!]
...
After regaining consciousness...
Jean looked at the devastation on the scene, clutching her head in guilt as she shed tears of regret.
She had thought that a new environment would help her master this Phoenix Force.
But she never expected...
She hadn't even been in her new home for more than two minutes...
Before the rampaging Phoenix Force destroyed everything...
"I..."
Jean opened her mouth painfully, wanting to apologize through her sobs.
But Wanda patted her shoulder with her small hand.
"It's no matter."
"We can just use Time Magic to revert it to how it was before."
"This isn't your fault; it's that consciousness inside you."
Wanda's gaze moved to Jean's abdomen, showing an excited look of finding a new interest.
She was as excited as an empty, invincible person who had finally found an opponent worth fighting.
"Time Magic?"
Jean was stunned for a moment, her gaze turning to Su Ye.
"That's right..."
Su Ye nodded slightly, an emerald-green magic circle already appearing on his arm.
He made a pressing motion toward the giant crater below.
A massive emerald-green magic circle fell from his palm, completely covering the area destroyed by the two girls.
Then...
As Su Ye turned his palm counter-clockwise...
The time and space they were in rapidly rewound...
Countless particles of dust turned into tornadoes, rushing in from all directions.
Under the watchful eyes of Jean and the others, everything on the scene was restored to its original state.
"magic..."
Jean looked at her surroundings in shock, her face full of amazement.
She had always thought magic only existed in fairy tales!
"Wanda, this is Jean Grey."
"She is the newest member of this family."
"From today on, you will help Jean control her power."
Su Ye took Jean's hand and walked over to Wanda, introducing her.
"Mission guaranteed!"
Wanda playfully raised her hand and gave Su Ye a salute.
Having awakened her Chaos Magic, Little Wanda had also felt how lonely it was to be invincible.
With this big sister's company, she would certainly not feel bored in the future.
"Jean, what do you think?"
Su Ye looked at Jean with a smile, his expression full of expectation.
"Yes..."
Jean nodded excitedly, her gaze toward Wanda also filled with excitement.
After being suppressed for so many years, she had finally met a Mutant companion of the same level.
Not only was the other party not afraid of her, but she could even help her suppress the Phoenix Force.
Although there was a large age gap, she was very happy to become good friends with Wanda!
Seeing the two of them getting along so harmoniously, Su Ye nodded in satisfaction; nothing could be better than this.
He shrugged his shoulders, shooing Hakimi onto the sofa.
He then placed Little Megan, who was in his arms, on the floor beside him.
Now that Jean's accommodation issue was resolved, it was time for him to set off!
He would go with Dr. Jane to New Mexico to meet the Thor of myth!
Thor!
Thor!
He just wondered...
Without using his super powers...
Whether he could lift Mjolnir...
Chapter 84: Kusanagi Blade CT-3 X! More than friends, less than lovers?
On the interstate highway...
Nick Fury struggled to climb out from under the car.
He wiped the sweat mixed with grease from his face and let out a heavy sigh.
Perhaps it was a coincidence...
Su Ye, carrying two shopping bags, happened to descend from the sky to the ground.
"Hard work, I brought you some watermelon soda."
"And bought some fried chicken."
Su Ye used telekinesis to control the watermelon soda in the shopping bag, sending it flying towards Nick Fury.
"Huh!"
"This isn't funny at all!"
Nick Fury bit his lip and opened the pull-tab as if venting his anger.
Perhaps he was truly thirsty, as he gulped down half of it.
"Forget about the fried chicken."
"The car is fixed, and I should be leaving soon."
Nick Fury stretched and walked towards his sedan.
At this moment...
The trunk opened automatically...
Aerial climbed out from inside, taking a look at the surrounding environment.
As if having made a judgment, her body transformed into a motorcycle vehicle.
It was a [Kusanagi Blade CT-3 X] in Gundam color scheme.
The prototype came from the Cyberpunk World.
It was a tribute to the protagonist's motorcycle in the classic anime "Akira."
In the game, it was one of the fastest motorcycles and very easy to obtain.
With its cool, futuristic sci-fi appearance, it had captivated countless players.
The Gundam-colored [Kusanagi Blade], outlined with black lines, had the visual feel of having traveled from a comic book World.
It must be said...
It was the kind of motorcycle that brought a visual impact the moment you laid eyes on it!
And it appealed to everyone, regardless of age or gender!
No intelligent creature could refuse this heavy motorcycle!
This [Kusanagi Blade] slowly drove towards Su Ye and stopped beside him.
"Cool..."
The rebellious girl named [Darcy] had her eyes widened, almost instinctively exclaiming in admiration.
If Su Ye were willing to drive this motorcycle and take her for a ride.
She would be very happy to become his girlfriend!
It was just a pity...
This handsome heavy motorcycle could only carry one person.
What left her even more speechless was that Su Ye shoved the two shopping bags into her hands.
The heavy weight almost dragged the rebellious girl to the ground.
"Heh..."
"A super genius, physicist, and expert in the mechanical field who ranks in the top few dozen globally."
"Using various rare metals, including thirty pounds of Vibranium, with a total value exceeding several hundred million U.S. dollars."
"Plus an invaluable [arc reactor], painstakingly crafted for over four months, just to build this toy for you?"
"If you're happy, the World will be at peace, right?"
Nick Fury crushed the soda can in his hand, his eyes filled with deep resentment as he looked at Su Ye.
"Just tell me if it's cool or not."
Su Ye didn't answer; he just sat on the motorcycle and revved the throttle a few times.
Usually, making fun of street racers was just for laughs.
When you actually encounter a cool motorcycle, who wouldn't want to sit on it and ride a few laps?
"Cool..."
Nick Fury ultimately compromised.
He didn't want to see Su Ye right now; he needed to calm down.
This guy was too extravagant, even more wasteful than that jerk Tony!
He used dozens of pounds of Vibranium just like that!
You have to know!
Even Captain America's Vibranium shield was measured in [grams]!
Nick Fury left in a huff, leaving only Su Ye and the others behind.
"Aren't you getting in the car to join us?"
Dr. Jane looked at the cool motorcycle and asked with a questioning expression.
This trip was nearly three thousand kilometers, which would take dozens of hours by car.
Riding a motorcycle, let alone whether a person could handle it.
It was also a severe test of the motorcycle's range.
"Wait a bit."
"I plan to ride the motorcycle for a while."
Su Ye responded with a smile, then twisted the throttle to the end.
The motorcycle let out a dull roar, speeding along the interstate highway and leaving a long trail of dust!
...
One week later...
New Mexico...
A city called [Old Bridge].
It was located at the border between two states, a rare habitat on the desolate plains.
The RV slowly drove into the city and parked in a pre-rented paid parking lot.
The journey, which should have taken only four days, took Dr. Jane and her group a full week.
The reason was simple...
The food Su Ye made was simply too delicious...
Those foods seemed to have been cast with magic...
You would be completely obsessed after just one bite...
So much so that they stopped and went, always looking for various reasons to have Su Ye prepare a sumptuous meal.
Sometimes, to buy fresh ingredients, they would even take detours just to satisfy their own gluttony.
So much so that...
Su Ye once wanted to leave...
But he couldn't withstand Dr. Jane's desperate pleas.
By the way, she gained five pounds in a week!
Among the group, she was the one who ate the most!
She even figured out how to eat Roujiamo (meat burger) on her own!
The car door opened...
Su Ye was the first to step out, stretching his body as he let out a lazy hum.
Dr. Jane's RV wasn't very spacious for him.
But this journey had finally reached its destination.
...
[Ding—!]
[You have traveled with Dr. Jane and reached the stage of the story.]
[Congratulations on obtaining the talent reward: Power of Thor!]
...
Talent Codex
Name: Power of Thor
Quality: Legendary [Gold]
Introduction: The power of the Thunder God Thor from Norse mythology, may his wisdom be with you!
[Note: The Power of Thor makes your life more long-lasting.]
[Note: The Power of Thor makes your strength stronger as you age.]
...
Gold Legendary!
Su Ye looked at the system reward and was very satisfied.
Such almost free rewards were naturally the more, the better.
Thor was a very powerful Superhero in American comics.
He existed in several forms, and he became stronger as he aged; he was a true god.
The Power of Thor that Su Ye obtained through the system was a talent with growth potential.
With age, this power would become stronger and stronger until it reached the peak combat power of Thor!
"There will be an abnormal thunderstorm tomorrow night."
"We need to get a good rest today."
"We also need to buy some emergency reserve food."
"Su Ye, do you have any plans next?"
"Shall we find a place to sit and have something to eat?"
Dr. Jane was the second to step out of the car, extending an invitation to Su Ye.
Because of Dr. Cho, she had always been restraining her feelings.
But after a week of getting along, their relationship had warmed up.
She didn't want to break that taboo and become enemies with Dr. Cho, so she chose a compromise.
That was to become best friends with Su Ye.
A subtle state of being more than friends but less than lovers.
After hearing this...
He estimated the time in his heart...
Tomorrow was almost the day Thor was banished to the mortal World.
To prevent any accidents, he had better put away those inappropriate thoughts.
"You guys should rest today."
"Leave the reserve food to me."
Su Ye volunteered, taking the initiative to take on this task.
He would rather spend his own money to purchase goods at the supermarket.
Than trust Dr. Jane, this typical White woman, with her taste in selecting food.
Su Ye found quite a few soft cans in the RV labeled [Chinese Food].
Strawberry-filled soup dumplings.
And chocolate sweet and sour pork.
And sweet and salty cheese Mapo Tofu!
Seeing these unspeakable things, Su Ye's head felt like it was about to explode!
He would rather use the Phoenix Force to burn this garbage to ashes!
He began to understand how the Italians felt when they saw pineapple pizza!
These little chefs with whimsical ideas should all be locked in a mental hospital!
[Little Chef: Enjoy it to your heart's content!]
Chapter 85: First Encounter with Thor! For the Glory of the Northern Gods?
The next night...
Dr. Jane and her group were driving a bulky RV, heading towards the wilderness.
In the back of the vehicle...
Su Ye was using the RV's kitchen to cook pork chops with apple.
Despite the wooden board providing some soundproofing, he could still hear the arguing from the front.
"The last seventeen lightning storms have all been predicted down to the second."
"This kind of fluctuation isn't normal; it's like it's being controlled by something."
Dr. Jane's voice rose a few decibels, attempting to suppress the others.
"Jane, you are an astrophysicist, not a weather forecast enthusiast."
Erik continued to persuade her.
"Erik! You are my mentor, you should know about my research!"
"I must go there; this might prove that my hypothesis is correct!"
Dr. Jane continued to retort.
Su Ye listened to the arguing outside, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.
This scene was all too familiar...
If nothing went wrong, Darcy's voice would ring out in a few seconds.
Sure enough...
About seven seconds passed...
Darcy, who was driving, seemed to have discovered something incredible.
"Oh my god!"
"Jane, you'd better come see this!"
Darcy sat in the driver's seat, looking out at the night sky in the distance, her face full of astonishment.
An aurora!
It was a magnificent aurora!
Dr. Jane and Dr. Erik climbed up the ladder to the roof of the vehicle, witnessing the anomaly in the sky.
"Quick!"
"Drive faster!"
Dr. Jane jumped down from the ladder and gave instructions to her student.
For her, this was an opportunity delivered to her doorstep, and she had to seize it!
The next second...
Darcy reluctantly stepped on the gas pedal, driving towards the direction of the aurora.
The RV drove over the uneven wilderness, the entire vehicle shaking.
However...
Su Ye in the kitchen was unaffected...
He was still preparing a sumptuous dinner for everyone...
He used his telekinesis to fix all the objects in place.
They would not shake violently as the RV drove.
It's just that...
There were originally only four plates on the table, but now there was an extra one.
It was as if...
Su Ye had already calculated that there would be a guest falling from the sky tonight.
A minute later...
The RV shook even more violently, and the various instruments outside began to squeak.
A terrifying storm was descending along with the aurora, kicking up a dust storm in the wilderness!
"I'm not risking my life for a few credits!"
Darcy, who was driving the RV, roared in fear.
She slammed the steering wheel, trying to turn the RV around and escape the approaching storm.
"It's okay!"
"We still have Su Ye!"
"He will protect us all!"
"Keep driving forward! Quick! Hurry!"
Dr. Jane held a camera with one hand, recording the abnormal lightning storm ahead.
Her other hand wasn't idle either, as she fought with Darcy for the steering wheel.
"Are you two crazy!"
"If this keeps up, the car will flip!"
Dr. Erik couldn't watch anymore and began to scold the two willful women.
Under their tug-of-war, the RV became a drunken giant beast, rushing to the left one moment and speeding to the right the next.
Suddenly...
A blurry human figure faintly appeared in the core of the lightning storm ahead.
The out-of-control RV, as if it had found its target, drove straight towards that figure!
Bang—!
A dull impact sound rang out from outside the vehicle.
The two who had been fighting over the steering wheel finally stopped their actions.
The faces of Darcy and Dr. Jane turned deathly pale in an instant.
They...
Seemed to have hit something...
Judging from the blurry figure, it looked like a person!
Just at this moment...
The previous hurricane and lightning storm miraculously and rapidly dissipated.
Even the aurora in the sky vanished, returning to a starry night sky once again.
Screech—!
The RV came to a sudden stop.
Dr. Jane and Darcy scrambled out of the car to check.
Dr. Erik thought for a moment and walked to the back of the RV.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Su Ye, are you free right now?"
"We've run into a bit of trouble!"
As soon as he finished speaking...
Dr. Erik heard a scream from outside.
It was Darcy's voice, and the situation looked very bad!
"Got it."
Su Ye's voice rang out from the Room.
He put down the frying pan in his hand, turned off the gas, and then walked outside.
The door opened...
Su Ye and Dr. Erik exchanged a glance, and the two walked off the car one after the other.
On the wilderness...
Jane and Darcy were standing there blankly...
Not far in front of them, a strong man was lying on the ground with his limbs splayed out.
That sprawled-out posture on the ground, combined with his heavy breathing, indicated that he was in a very bad state.
At this time...
Su Ye and Dr. Erik came to the side of the two women.
Golden radiance lit up in Su Ye's eyes, activating his [X-Ray Vision] ability.
"No bone damage, and the internal organs look normal."
"Blood flow is accelerated, but there is no major issue."
"He should just be startled."
Su Ye explained the other person's physical condition to everyone present, soothing their panicked emotions.
Just at this moment...
The tall, strong man on the ground let out a low roar, shaking his body as he stood up from the ground.
"Mjolnir!"
"Mjolnir!"
After the man stood up, he didn't care about his unsteady footing, and while roaring crudely, he started looking for something.
"Mew-Mew?"
Darcy tilted her head, muttering in confusion.
"He must be drunk, don't get too close."
Su Ye stepped forward quickly, shielding Dr. Jane and Darcy behind him.
He watched the tall, manically behaving man in front of him with great interest.
He was nearly one meter ninety-eight tall.
Almost as tall as Su Ye.
He had a burly build and well-developed muscles.
He had messy long golden hair and a scruffy beard.
His expression was fierce, and his pale blue pupils were like those of a bloodthirsty lion!
Thor...
Exactly the same as in the movie...
"Father!"
"Heimdall!"
"I know you can hear me, open the Bifrost Bridge immediately!"
Thor ignored the strange looks from everyone and roared loudly at the night sky.
"Is there something wrong with his [head]?"
Darcy raised her hand, pointed to her own head, and complained in a very low voice.
But Dr. Jane didn't pay attention to her, instead looking at the patterns on the ground.
"What is this?"
"My god, this looks like a pattern!"
Dr. Jane squatted on the ground, starting to study the profound patterns.
Su Ye lowered his eyes, took a curious look, and then ignored it.
The patterns on the ground were the marks left by the Bifrost Bridge, equivalent to a coordinate.
Through this coordinate, one could board the Bifrost Bridge and travel through the nine dimensions.
"Su, is he really okay?"
Dr. Erik, looking at the clearly mentally unstable Thor, confirmed again.
"He's fine."
"My eyes are the ruler."
"Whether there's a problem or not, I know at a glance."
Su Ye smiled confidently, easing the worry in Erik's heart.
He was really worried that their group had hit the guy and made him stupid.
At this time...
Realizing that he seemingly couldn't go back, Thor roared at the sky in a breakdown.
Then...
He suddenly turned his head, raised his strong arm, and pointed at Su Ye in front.
"You..."
"Tell me, which realm is this!"
"Alfheim? Nornheim? Niflheim?"
Thor asked with an urgent tone, stepping towards the group.
Looking at the aggressive Thor, who was clearly coming with ill intent.
Darcy, who was shielded behind Su Ye, quickly raised her stun gun.
"Stand right there, jerk!"
"This is New Mexico!"
She turned on the laser sight, aimed at Thor's chest, signaling him not to mess around.
As the noble Thor, how could he care about a warning from a mere mortal?
"You foolish mortal!"
"How dare you threaten me with such a small weapon?"
"Can't you tell who I am!"
"I am Thor!"
Thor glared at the rebellious girl, not only showing no intention of stopping but instead speeding up his pace.
Su Ye was just about to speak, but the system prompt suddenly appeared.
...
[Ding—!]
[Detected that Thor has lost his divine power and is facing Odin's test. As an accidental intruder, you have become a part of this major event!]
[Option 1: Help Thor, obtain item reward: Bifrost Bridge design blueprints!]
[Option 2: Help Loki, obtain special reward: Loki's knowledge inheritance!]
Chapter 86: Godly Brothers! A God Cursed by Power?
To be fair...
The two options provided by the system both look very tempting.
The Bifrost Bridge is equivalent to spatial teleportation; its utility is maxed out.
Loki is the greatest mage in the Nine Realms, and his knowledge inheritance is quite good too.
It can make up for the basic knowledge Su Ye lacks in the field of magic.
Besides...
Helping these two brothers...
To some extent, it's actually not difficult...
As long as you know what they need, you can prescribe the right medicine.
What Thor wants most is to regain his lost power and return to Asgard.
His demands are the simplest and easiest to fulfill, which fits Thor's straightforward personality.
The God of Mischief, Loki—what he truly wants is the recognition of his family.
He has lived in his brother's shadow since he was a child and always felt that Odin lacked attention for him.
Everything he does, at its core, is just to prove that he is better.
That he, more than the muscular and simple-minded Thor, should be the one focused on and nurtured by their parents.
He is the most suitable heir!
Not letting an idiot like Thor turn Asgard into a mess!
Especially...
When Loki realized that he wasn't born, but picked up by Odin.
He felt betrayed, fell into self-doubt, and became even more eager to prove himself.
He wanted to tell everyone that he only belonged to Asgard.
He even used trickery to murder his biological father: Laufey.
To eliminate future trouble, he even activated the Bifrost Bridge, attempting to destroy the dimension where the Frost Giants lived!
So...
What Loki truly craves is not just the throne of Asgard.
But to sit on that throne to prove he is stronger than his brother.
Thereby gaining his parents' recognition and receiving equal love to his brother.
To be respected by all Asgardians and treated as a Hero.
It's just that...
The more one tries to obtain things through schemes and plots at any cost, the further one ends up from the goal.
Loki still has a chance to turn back for now...
As a transmigrator, Su Ye also knows about Loki's growth arc.
From a comical villain to step-by-step becoming the [God of Stories].
Along this path, he lost too, too much.
Just like his brother, he fell into a pathetic situation.
The stronger one is, the less one can protect the people and things one loves.
Father, mother, companions, lovers, and even Asgard.
The stronger, the lonelier...
An almost infinite lifespan eventually brings only endless pain.
If Tony is a mortal cursed by knowledge...
Then these godly brothers are cursed by power...
So...
Su Ye is very willing to help them...
But the premise is that these godly brothers had better listen to advice.
If reason doesn't work, Su Ye also knows a little Kung Fu Hustle.
If someone ends up dead or injured by then, things might be hard to wrap up.
...
On the scene...
Su Ye looked at the approaching Thor, a smile appearing on his face.
Just as he was about to speak, trying to calm the powerless Thor before him.
The rebellious girl hiding behind him nervously pulled the trigger.
Several wires flew out from the weapon, piercing into Thor's chest.
Before Thor could be shocked that his indestructible divine body could actually be wounded by human weapons.
An extremely strong electric current swept through his entire body!
This young Thor stood at attention on the spot!
"Urgh, urgh, urgh, urgh, urgh!"
Thor stood stiffly, a wailing scream coming from his mouth.
He was electrocuted and collapsed to the ground, his body emitting a burnt smell.
He, the dignified Thor, was actually easily defeated by a taser.
"Darcy, look at what you've done!"
Dr. Erik was furious, scolding his student's student.
"He was the one who rushed over first."
"Between being electrocuted by me and Su Ye's iron fist, he had to choose one."
Darcy spread her little hands, saying with an innocent face.
Being electrocuted is only temporary; getting beaten up would hurt for a long time.
To some extent, she could be considered to have helped Thor, and the guy should be thanking her!
"Alright."
"Stop arguing over such trifles."
"Dr. Erik, you move him to the van first."
"Darcy, get me a drawing board, and some paper and pens."
"I'll fly up and copy this pattern."
Su Ye directed everyone present, signaling them to act quickly.
"Okay!"
Dr. Erik stepped forward, dragging Thor's body toward the RV.
"Received, boss!"
Darcy gave a playful salute, nimbly bypassed Dr. Erik, and was the first to dive into the RV to rummage around.
At this moment...
Dr. Jane was still stroking the pattern on the ground...
Perhaps due to the influence of the abnormal thunderstorm...
The ground where the pattern was located had already become highly mineralized.
It was no longer the barren clod of earth that would crumble with a pinch.
Instead, it had turned into a piece of ore, even showing signs of crystallization.
Even stepping on it would not damage this miraculous pattern.
That level of hardness was probably already at the level of metal.
Soon...
Darcy arrived with the drawing board, paper, and pens.
Su Ye signaled everyone to step back, then flew into the air himself.
Under the moonlight, he saw the pattern below clearly.
His super brain began to function, and his super vision recorded all the details.
His hands, comparable to the most precise cutting-edge instruments in the World, began to sketch.
A few seconds later...
Su Ye landed back on the ground with the copied pattern.
Dr. Jane immediately stepped forward to take it and began to examine it carefully.
"My God!"
"This is a... tree?"
Dr. Jane looked at the pattern Su Ye had copied, shocked beyond measure.
That circular pattern presented a structure of tree trunks extending outward.
Looking closely...
It was like a huge tree...
This pattern was too clear; it didn't look like it was naturally formed.
"Perhaps that friend who calls himself [Thor] can answer for us."
"You know, as a Superhero, one always encounters some strange things."
"magic and miracles exist, and so do the characters in myths."
Su Ye raised his hand and patted Dr. Jane on the shoulder.
Dr. Jane's research direction was to verify the existence of the [Einstein-Rosen Bridge].
That is, wormholes; she had been looking for evidence to prove the possibility of spatial travel.
"Mythical characters..."
"You mean... he really is Thor?"
"Does the Asgard recorded in myths really exist?"
Dr. Jane widened her eyes, like an innocent child who had discovered a new World.
"Is there a possibility that they are actually aliens?"
"When they descended onto this Planet, they were seen by the Nordic natives."
"And the locals used them as prototypes to create Nordic mythology?"
Su Ye revealed a strange smile and voiced his guess.
"My God..."
"Then that guy just now, how long has he actually lived?"
The expression on Dr. Jane's face had turned into horror, clearly unable to accept this answer.
"Even [Omni-Man] has lived for thousands of years, let alone a god?"
Su Ye curled his lip and made a joke.
"Yeah..."
"Maybe Asgard is an alien civilization that has mastered [spatial travel]!"
Dr. Jane muttered to herself, her eyes filled with excitement and a trace of yearning!
This was the closest step she had ever been to the final answer...
As long as she could prove that [wormhole travel] really existed...
She would surely cause an unprecedented sensation in the academic World, thereby influencing generation after generation.
She would win a Nobel Prize, and her name would go down in history!
Her future would thus reach the pinnacle of life!
Chapter 87: Fooling Thor! Thor: Wow, it tastes like Mom's cooking!
Puente Antiguo...
The RV bumped along the road, driving into a paid parking lot.
Darcy, acting as the gofer, started setting up the tent.
This was one of the benefits of a paid parking lot; it counted as half a campsite.
Although everything cost money, at least you could buy firewood and daily necessities.
Dr. Erik also set up a camping table and started laying out the plates.
He had been waiting to eat the [Apple Braised Pork Chops] that Su Ye had made on the road.
Apple Braised Pork Chops...
In some Nordic countries, its status is equivalent to our braised pork belly.
For many people, it's a delicacy carrying the filter of childhood.
The sweet and sour taste of apples can balance the greasiness of pork.
During the stewing process, the apples soften and release their juices, merging with the meat juices to form a sweet sauce with a fruity aroma.
Adding a little spirits, butter, and cinnamon powder can give this dish a rich layered taste.
This is a highly inclusive dish.
So whether it's Eastern dietary culture or Western culinary philosophy, both can overcome the differences in taste and give this dish a thumbs up.
So...
The moment Su Ye walked out of the vehicle carrying the frying pan, Darcy, Jane, and even Dr. Erik cheered.
As the group sat around the dining table, sharing the delicious food, Thor, who had been electrocuted into unconsciousness, sniffed his nose.
He sat up in a daze, crystal-clear saliva dripping from his slightly open mouth.
"Such a fragrant smell, is it Apple Braised Pork Chops?" Thor mumbled in his sleep.
He swayed his burly body and stood up hastily and awkwardly.
Following the open car door, he wobbled out of the closed compartment.
Then...
He saw Su Ye and his group sitting around the camping table, sharing food.
"Come on over."
"I saved a portion for you too."
"Don't worry, no one will electrocute you this time."
Su Ye patted the empty seat beside him, signaling for Thor to come over and eat something.
"Oh..." Thor replied muffledly.
As the Thunder God, he had actually been taken down by a human weapon.
And it was an [Electric] firearm, which made him feel like he had lost face.
He originally didn't intend to pay attention to everyone, secretly wanting to find a way to escape the scene.
However... his stomach didn't listen to him...
The aroma of the [Apple Braised Pork Chops] was simply too tempting!
It reminded him of the grand meal his mother made at the banquet!
So... his stomach and brain reached an agreement...
He bit the bullet, his old face flushed red, and he sat down beside Su Ye.
"This is Earth."
"In the terms of your Asgard, this is [Midgard]."
"Midgard is a Planet that harbors human civilization." Su Ye answered the confusion in his heart using words Thor could understand.
"Midgard...?" Thor was stunned, his expression greatly shocked.
He didn't expect his father to exile him here!
He had descended upon this World thousands of years ago, and the local natives had worshipped him as a god.
But it was desolate back then, and the people were barbaric and backward.
The tribes often broke out in wars over resources.
They were still in the tribal civilization stage of drinking blood and eating raw meat.
Never thought... in just a few thousand years, it had changed so much.
It had even mastered the power of lightning and tamed the iron mount called [Car].
"Let's eat first."
"Shall we chat after you've filled your stomach?" Su Ye pointed to the portion in front of Thor that had been set aside for him.
"Oh..."
Thor swallowed his saliva, grabbed a fork, stabbed a piece of soft, braised pork chop, and stuffed it into his mouth.
He seemed to have been hungry for a long time; he ate like a savage, wishing he could chew the fork to pieces.
However... as he ate, his eyes became moist...
Because the dish Su Ye made made him taste his mother's cooking!
"This..."
"This tastes the same as what my mother makes!"
"My mother makes it with this taste too!"
Thor turned around excitedly, his face filled with emotion and regret.
This god, who was as burly as a bear, was actually tearing up with moist eyes.
"If it's delicious, eat more..." Su Ye's mouth twitched slightly; he knew the food he made was always delicious.
He didn't expect to hear such high praise as [Mom's cooking] one day.
"Mm!" Thor nodded vigorously and continued to bury his head in eating.
After eating a plate of stewed meat, he grabbed a piece of bread from the side.
He dipped it into the sauce at the bottom of the plate to finish the job.
Until... the whole plate was clean, without a trace of sauce left, he stopped, still wanting more.
"Human, you have gained the favor of a god."
"I am Thor, son of the great Odin."
Thor held out a hand covered in breadcrumbs and looked at Su Ye eagerly.
He was a god who repaid kindness; he would keep Su Ye's kindness of a meal in his heart!
"My name is: Su Ye, an international student from the East."
"But they all call me: The World's strongest Superhero."
Su Ye shook Thor's hand and introduced himself as well.
"Oh?" "The strongest?" "Wait until I find my hammer, I must spar with you!"
Upon hearing this, fiery, warlike eyes flashed in Thor's blue pupils.
His combat radar started beeping again, unable to wait to have a battle with Su Ye!
"Mjolnir?" Darcy asked suspiciously.
It wasn't the first time she had heard Thor say this word.
"It is [Mjolnir]!"
"That is a powerful divine artifact forged by my father using the core of a dying star!"
"It can summon thunder and allow me to control the storm!"
"Of course..." "Except for me, no one can lift it!" Thor said with a smug face; Mjolnir was his symbol!
"Oh..." "Is that so..." Darcy and Dr. Erik responded perfunctorily.
They exchanged glances and saw worry in each other's eyes.
This guy's brain must have a problem; he might have run away from some mental hospital.
A trace of suspicion flashed in Jane's eyes too.
But she thought of what Su Ye had said just now. [magic and miracles both exist.]
Although her reason told her this violated common sense, she was still willing to believe the truth Su Ye spoke of.
So she didn't ask any questions, just silently ate the food on her plate, acting as a qualified listener.
"I know where your hammer is, and I can take you there." Su Ye said with a warm smile.
Thor is a straightforward god, without the complex psychological changes of Tony.
If one were to use animals as a metaphor, Tony is like a vigilant fox. Thor is a stubborn donkey.
To reason with him, you have to go along with his personality and say things he likes to hear.
You have to prepare a carrot for him and hang it in front of him before he will move forward according to your wishes.
"Really?" "Su, are you really willing to help me?"
Thor asked excitedly and hugged Su Ye's shoulders.
He wanted to kiss Su Ye a few times to repay this good friend!
"Really." "Rest well first." "Your father is currently in a fit of rage."
"Going back now, you will just get scolded."
"Maybe in a few days, Odin's anger will subside?"
"You are his most proud and boastful child."
"When you go back then, will he still make things difficult for you?"
"Look at how dirty your clothes are; it's time to change them."
"Just stay here for now; treat it as a vacation."
Su Ye said with a grin, soothing Thor's restless heart.
He also pulled a thick stack of U.S. dollars from his wallet and stuffed it into Thor's hand.
Sure enough... Thor was completely fooled by Su Ye, and the impatient expression on his face became a bit softer.
He clutched the U.S. dollars Su Ye handed him, then opened his arms and hugged Su Ye tightly in his embrace.
"You're right!" "I like you, Su!" "We must be destined best friends!"
Chapter 88: Thor's Breakdown! Comparing Himself to a Mortal with a God's Body?
With a mix of coaxing and deception, Su Ye had Thor completely wrapped around his finger.
Watching the once ferocious lion being soothed into acting like a husky,
Darcy and Dr. Jane exchanged glances, their eyes filled with bewilderment.
He really knows how to sweet-talk someone to death...
At this moment, Su Ye looked just like a creepy uncle at a kindergarten gate, tricking a child into eating a lollipop.
They both started to pity this legendary Thor, who had been swindled into acting like a little fool.
Dr. Erik simply ignored everyone, fully immersing himself in the delicious food.
It wasn't just Thor who tasted his mother's cooking; Dr. Erik felt the same way.
In the time that followed...
Because of a shortage of tents, there wasn't enough space for the extra people...
Su Ye took Thor with him and headed to the city...
Although it was called a city, Old Bridge City was at best just a small town.
There weren't actually many people living here; most were visiting tourists.
Because there was no heavy industry and it was close to the wilderness, the stars at night were beautiful.
So, many camping enthusiasts and astronomy hobbyists would come here to travel.
Over time...
Relying on the rise of tourism, the town had also developed some infrastructure.
Some recreational facilities, hotels, and bars had appeared in the town.
Su Ye found a decent hotel and booked a Room for Thor.
Thor walked around the Room once, looking very uncomfortable with a sour face.
He didn't understand human appliances; he had to learn everything from scratch.
Like Su Ye, he hated studying, and his heart started to become restless again.
"Su, do you really know the whereabouts of the [Hammer]?"
"I always feel like you are deliberately stalling for time."
"I want to go back so badly!"
"Listen, brother!"
"You have to help me!"
Thor came to Su Ye's side, scratching his head in anxiety.
"Look at you, getting impatient again."
Su Ye shook his head and looked at Thor with a helpless expression.
"Our Asgard is about to go to war with the Frost Giants!"
"I am Thor, I must go back and smash those Frost monsters!"
Thor made a punching motion, and deep fighting intent welled up in those lion-like eyes.
He craved war, he craved blood!
He craved to establish great achievements and write his own legendary myth!
"Alright."
"I'll take you there."
Su Ye looked at Thor's eager appearance.
He knew that persuasion was useless, so he wanted to strike him hard with the cruel reality.
Only when he completely gives up hope will he be able to settle down and experience the life of a mortal.
"How are we going?"
"Driving that mount called a [Car]?"
Thor raised his right hand above his head, stood on tiptoe, and gestured at the height of the RV.
"No, we're flying there."
Su Ye's lips curled into a profound smile as he raised his hand and grabbed Thor's shoulder.
Their bodies left the ground, hovering in the Room.
"Wow!"
"You can fly too?"
Thor looked at the floating Su Ye, a look of surprise appearing on his face.
A super-powered individual capable of flight certainly wouldn't be weak.
He was looking forward more and more to battling Su Ye after regaining his divine power!
"Let's go."
Su Ye grabbed Thor with one hand and used his telekinesis with the other to open the hotel window.
The two flew out through the window.
Then, they flew westward.
Flying over the city, they headed towards the wilderness a dozen kilometers away.
Soon...
A huge crater appeared beneath them.
The Mjolnir that Thor had been thinking about constantly was resting quietly there.
The upturned handle, like the hilt of the Sword in the Stone, waited for the one destined to wield it.
"Heh..."
"Odin must have read the story of [King Arthur]."
Su Ye teased with a smile.
He brought Thor with him and landed at the bottom of the crater from the night sky.
"Hammer!"
"Mjolnir!"
"Haha! I have finally seen you again!"
Thor's face flushed with excitement; he dashed forward in a few strides while laughing loudly.
Then, he grabbed the handle, attempting to lift Mjolnir again just like before.
But...
Not everything goes as one wishes...
No matter how hard Thor tried, even using both hands and letting out a hysterical roar,
he could not move the hammer even an inch from the ground!
"Mjolnir?"
Thor called out to his exclusive weapon, but received no response at all.
"No!"
Thor roared angrily, unable to accept this cruel truth.
His father had stripped him of his divine power, and even Mjolnir rejected him.
Could it be...
Was he truly wrong...
In a fit of impotent rage, Thor knelt before Mjolnir.
He clutched his head in pain, using his roar to vent the unwillingness in his heart.
Tears streamed down his eyes; this god had never been so fragile.
Just as Thor was grieving, Su Ye walked to his side.
"I knew it would be like this, which is why I told you not to rush and to settle down first."
"If you want to lift him again, you need to think carefully about Odin's good intentions."
"This is a trial..."
"So-called growth is overcoming an immature past."
"I suppose your father, Odin, thinks so too."
Su Ye stood with his hands in his pockets, looking down with pity at the Thor kneeling on the ground in pain.
So gods can kneel too...
So gods can cry too...
Since that's the case...
What difference is there between them and mortals?
Just because they have longer lives, possess powerful strength, and have more advanced technology, is that all?
"What is the point of you saying this useless crap now?"
"Could it be that if I live like you, I can lift the hammer again?"
Like a child who had lost his reason, Thor revealed his most primal aggression, venting his inner rage at Su Ye.
"What if it works?"
"What if..."
"I really can lift the hammer?"
Su Ye didn't mind, instead walking to the front of [Mjolnir].
Mjolnir, ah...
He had long wanted to try if he could lift it...
...
Meanwhile...
S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters...
The command center was already in utter chaos.
Nick Fury stood before a large screen with a dark face and hands on his hips.
The screen displayed an image of that thunderstorm and a meteorite.
Nick Fury stared intently at the hammer, his dark face clouded with worry.
Because...
That meteorite was a hammer.
This meteorite came from outside the sky and crashed into New Mexico.
It carried a strange energy that could affect the weather.
Something of this level didn't look like a coincidence at all.
"Coulson!"
Nick Fury suddenly spoke, calling out his subordinate's name.
"Director, I'm here."
A capable white man walked up quickly, awaiting the Director's orders.
Nick Fury glanced at him, a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
Coulson...
This was one of his most trusted subordinates...
However...
Nick Fury suddenly remembered that someone also seemed to be in New Mexico.
Su Ye...
His good brother...
Could this bastard have predicted something in advance?
That must be why he hitched a ride on Dr. Jane's RV to go to New Mexico.
It must be!
The ridiculous thing is...
Nick Fury had thought the other party was driven by lust!
Thinking of this, he wished he could slap himself!
Damn it!
He had actually misunderstood his good brother's good intentions!
"Forget it..."
"Coulson, you'd better not go."
"Hill, you will lead the team this time."
Nick Fury gave Coulson an apologetic look, then issued the order.
"Let me go?"
Hill felt bewildered and looked at Nick Fury suspiciously.
For this level of matter, it shouldn't be necessary for an Officer of her level to personally go to the scene to command, right?
Besides...
She had other work on hand...
Like supervising the construction site to see when her house would be built.
It had been several months, and it was still under construction; she was about to die of anxiety.
No one wants to keep sleeping at the company, especially in an environment like S.H.I.E.L.D.
Nick Fury took off his command headset, walked to Hill's side, and whispered.
"Su Ye is also there."
"He doesn't know Coulson, but he is very familiar with you."
"Even if you encounter danger, he will protect you."
As he finished speaking.
Nick Fury put the command headset back on and began to mobilize troops, assembling an elite team of Agents.
Preparing to rush to the scene as soon as possible to start the investigation.
"Su Ye..."
Hill whispered softly, a charming smile curling at the corner of her mouth.
An event that could make him take the initiative to get involved must be extraordinary.
This trip...
Might be very interesting...
Chapter 89: Mjolnir! An Epic-Tier Concept-Level Talent?
Inside the giant crater...
Thor, kneeling on the ground, looked up at Su Ye's actions.
Su Ye wanted to pick up Mjolnir?
Regarding this crazy behavior of Su Ye's.
Thor felt very complicated emotions rising within him.
If Su Ye failed, it meant that even he didn't know the solution to the problem.
If Su Ye succeeded, it meant that his advice had some reference value.
But the problem was...
If Su Ye were acknowledged by [Mjolnir], then he would definitely become the new Thor!
At that time...
What would Thor do...
Having obtained the powerful Power of Thor, would he really return Mjolnir?
Without Mjolnir, and stripped of his divine power, what would he, this Thor, do?
Just as Thor was lost in thought, Su Ye felt a subtle sensation.
Because...
He actually perceived a call...
A call from Mjolnir...
It seemed that his talent [Animal Affinity] had triggered passively...
Mjolnir, because of its pronunciation, was often jokingly called "Meow-Meow Hammer" by netizens in his previous life.
Su Ye didn't expect...
That simply adding animal elements literally could trigger the [Animal Affinity] skill.
As expected of an Epic-tier talent; this level of reward already had a hint of a concept-level ability!
Even without super strength.
Even without Odin's approval.
As long as he possessed [Animal Affinity], he could lift Mjolnir just the same!
No!
It was the Meow-Meow Hammer!
Under Thor's blank stare, Su Ye leaned down and reached out to grasp the handle of Mjolnir.
He lifted Mjolnir up with almost no effort.
At this moment...
The [Power of Thor] within him became incredibly excited.
Even the night sky above revealed large patches of black clouds.
Boom—!
Bolts of lightning streaked across the night sky, illuminating the earth below.
Arcs of electricity as thick as a thumb flashed on Su Ye's body.
Even his eyes overflowed with pale blue lightning!
Seeing this scene...
Thor's heart completely died...
Su Ye had actually done it, lifting Mjolnir!
He had even obtained a Power of Thor stronger than his own!
He lowered his head in despair, like a child whose favorite toy had been snatched away.
But...
Su Ye's next action was far beyond Thor's expectations.
In Thor's dazed gaze, Su Ye put Mjolnir back.
It was exactly in the same position as before, as if no one had ever moved it.
"I don't really know how to use a hammer."
"And I think it suits you better."
Su Ye shrugged, using a teasing tone to comfort the dejected Thor.
The Power of Thor on him gradually subsided, looking as if it had never appeared.
Mjolnir had acknowledged Su Ye.
But Su Ye had rejected Mjolnir.
He wouldn't do something stupid like losing a watermelon to pick up a sesame seed.
Mjolnir, and the friendship of the entire Asgard, including Thor himself.
Su Ye knew very well which was more important; he wouldn't do a losing business!
Besides...
Mjolnir was too small...
It felt particularly mini in his hand, and the handling wasn't good...
The Eastern spirit of martial arts made him prefer longer, larger cold weapons.
Or thermal weapons like elemental guns, Iron Man Suit, or super robots.
If he had to use a hammer to fight enemies, he would prefer a Paladin's long-handled heavy hammer!
Only that kind of hammer looked domineering when swung!
It didn't suit his taste in terms of aesthetics or morality.
Since that was the case...
It was better to facilitate a good deed...
"What the..."
"You actually... rejected it..."
Thor said with his mouth wide open in disbelief, speaking the first curse word he had learned since coming to this World.
That was the power of a [Main God]!
This guy Su Ye said he didn't want it, and just like that, he didn't want it?
And...
He rejected this power for the sake of a friend?
Thor's heart was immediately overwhelmed with emotion.
He scrambled up from the ground, rushed towards Su Ye, and gave him a hug!
He pouted his big mouth, preparing to kiss Su Ye a few times, but was dodged by Su Ye one by one!
Nolan's combat techniques made Su Ye feel the joy of [money well spent] for the first time!
It was also the first time Su Ye discovered that his neck could be so flexible!
"Calm down!"
"Listen to me!"
Su Ye pushed Thor away and stepped back a few more steps, calming the panic in his heart.
"Okay, you speak."
"I'm listening."
The straightforward Thor was still grinning foolishly, looking at his friend with glowing eyes.
The moment Su Ye gave up Mjolnir for him, he had already decided.
He must become good brothers with this human who possessed the [Golden Spirit]!
Such character, such power, such cooking skills—he was worth befriending sincerely!
"Damn!"
"What was I going to say?"
"Forget it, let's find a place suitable for chatting first."
"Odin's eyepatch, you're giving me a headache!"
Su Ye rubbed his temples and sighed helplessly.
Distracted by Thor's enthusiasm, he didn't know what to say now.
"Let's go."
"On the way here, I saw a tavern."
"I can already smell the wine, let's go there."
Thor rubbed his hands excitedly; he had never had any resistance to fine wine!
"Alright."
Su Ye agreed to Thor's suggestion.
However...
This time he didn't approach Thor, but used telekinesis to lift him into the air.
It was like the scene in the anime The Lion King where little Simba was lifted up.
Su Ye even wanted to imitate the anime and shout a line.
It was the line sung in the opening song of The Lion King.
[Indigenous language: Oh, look, a lion is born.]
But after thinking about it, he dismissed this stupid idea.
With his tone-deaf voice, it would probably sound worse than Rick's.
A few minutes later...
In a bar in Puente Antiguo...
The dazzling variety of drinks made Thor's eyes widen, and he immediately made a decision.
He would drink every single kind of drink here!
Su Ye was speechless at this; he almost forgot that this guy was a complete alcoholic.
He didn't need to coax him at all; just give Thor a case of beer, and he would pacify himself.
In the bar...
Su Ye drank iced cola while listening to Thor vent his grievances.
In his mouth, Odin became a weak old bastard.
Peaceful life had worn away the bloodiness of this God King.
He had become afraid of war and could no longer lift his gun against former enemies.
He always thought about how to resolve conflicts and reconcile the contradictions between various dimensions.
Su Ye listened silently...
He could actually understand Odin's mood, why he was so angry.
And why he banished Thor to Earth instead of other dimensions.
Odin and his predecessors were monarchs who pioneered and expanded territory.
But now, there were many contradictions between the nine dimensions.
It was not suitable for further expansion...
Therefore...
Odin hoped that his successor would be a benevolent and kind monarch.
Someone who could use his own wisdom to reconcile the disputes and contradictions between the nine kingdoms.
To make the Nine Realms an iron bucket, so as to maintain Asgard's rule.
It was just a pity...
Thor inherited his belligerence, and violence flowed in his bones.
He was an arrogant lion, eager to prove his status through war!
This was exactly what Odin least wanted to see, which was why he was so angry!
If the kingdom were handed over to Thor to rule, this guy would start one war after another!
Making Asgard, along with the nine Worlds, fall into endless suffering!
Therefore...
He needed to temper his son's character and let him experience the life of a mortal!
Let him learn to stand from the perspective of an ordinary person to think about and handle problems!
Only by turning the previous looking-down into equal eye-to-eye contact, only by experiencing the hardships of the human World, could he temper his character.
This was not just a punishment...
It was also a trial...
Su Ye could see through Odin's thoughts; this was a father's love for his son.
It didn't mean that if he said it out loud, Thor would necessarily accept this answer.
Only by bearing wave after wave of blows could he grow.
Su Ye appeared to be comforting, but he had already prepared a stimulating program.
Of course...
This was also for Thor's own good...
This guy's straightforward personality was quite suitable for being a friend.
Getting along with Thor didn't even require using his brain.
Unlike Tony, Banner, Beast Hank, or Ivan—those super geniuses.
They always liked to say things that ordinary people couldn't understand to show their superiority.
Plus, with Thor's near-infinite growth potential, he would definitely be a great help in the future!
Regarding this...
Su Ye was convinced...
Chapter 90: Meeting Hill Again! The God of Mischief, About to Appear?
A heartbroken Thor poured out his woes to Su Ye all night long, drinking two full cases of beer.
Though stripped of his powers, he still possessed a strong physique, yet he couldn't withstand the bone-scraping blade of alcohol.
The next morning... He had finally passed out from drunkenness...
Su Ye took the drunken Thor back to the hotel.
He even gave the hotel staff a $300 tip, asking him to keep an eye on Thor.
If Thor woke up and wanted to go out, he was not to stop him, but to call him immediately.
The staff member took the tip excitedly; it wasn't the money that mattered to him, but Su Ye himself!
Su Ye was the universally acknowledged strongest Superhero! He had fanatical fans all over the World!
This staff member was clearly one of them! A tip from his idol was something he had to treasure carefully! This was a family heirloom!
...
On the sparsely populated morning street...
Just as Su Ye stepped out of the hotel...
he saw several modified black sedans, forming a neat convoy, speeding down the street.
S.H.I.E.L.D....
He knew where these cars came from with just one glance.
Suddenly...
Perhaps having noticed Su Ye walking out of the hotel, one black sedan broke away from the moving convoy.
The modified black sedan performed a stylish drift. After turning around, it pulled up smoothly on the street in front of Su Ye.
The car window rolled down slowly...
The sexy, mature woman sitting in the driver's seat flashed a charming smile at Su Ye.
"Where are you headed, great Superhero?"
"Need a ride?"
Hill was like an older sister next door, teasing the innocent little boy from next door.
"Just wandering around..."
"I imagine you must be very curious as to why I'm here."
Su Ye was no shy, innocent boy; he didn't want to miss an invitation from this older sister.
Besides... the intelligence he possessed... was enough to shock the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. beyond measure...
With that... Hill unbuckled her seatbelt quite readily, got out of the car, and trotted over. She personally opened the passenger door for Su Ye and made a "please" gesture.
"Prince, please get in!"
Her dramatic performance was clearly a joke.
Having spent so much time together, it was enough for her to understand him. She knew Su Ye's personality and his attitude toward friends.
And she was lucky to be one of the friends Su Ye recognized.
"Do you watch the abstract short videos I post too?"
Su Ye sat in the car leisurely, and Hill thoughtfully adjusted the seat for him.
As a result, he sat very comfortably, even wanting to close his eyes and have a nice nap.
"I watch them occasionally."
"For instance, when I'm in a bad mood."
Hill smiled and closed the car door, then trotted back to open the other door and sat back in the driver's seat.
I have to say... the interior of Hill's car carried a faint fragrance. It was like some kind of floral scent, subtle and refreshing.
Su Ye was actually quite enjoying it; since arriving in this World, he had almost never ridden in a car. He didn't even have a sports car of his own, always relying on flying.
Perhaps... he should get a car of his own...
Thinking of this... Su Ye took his phone out of his pocket, opened his YouTube account, and posted an update.
[What kind of sports car is worthy of the World's strongest Superhero?]
After sending the message... Su Ye put his phone away, continued to close his eyes, and waited for Hill to speak first.
"Alright..."
"As the Deputy Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., I have personally taken on a mission."
"You know, I'm usually in charge of command, unless the situation is urgent."
"Around last night, in the border area of New Mexico, roughly in the wilderness near Old Bridge City."
"A very strange meteorite fell, and it looks just like a hammer."
"Although it sounds ridiculous, it is almost exactly the same as Mjolnir from Norse mythology..."
"My great Superhero, do you have any thoughts on this?"
Hill sat back in the car, not rushing to drive, but turned her body to the side, looking at Su Ye beside her.
I have to say... Hill in her Agent uniform, with those enchanting, sexy curves paired with a mature, charming, and beautiful face, was like a direct punch to Su Ye's heart.
Before even tasting it, he was already somewhat intoxicated.
"You're asking for my opinion?"
"What if there is a possibility that it actually is Mjolnir?"
"And that the Thor from mythology has also descended?"
Su Ye said with great interest. He gently raised his hand to tidy up Hill's hair that had been messed up by the wind.
"Are you kidding me?"
Hill frowned slightly, her words carrying a bit of heat. She didn't believe in theology, and Norse mythology was just a legend to her.
"magic is real."
"Gods are naturally the same."
"They come from higher civilizations, and it is faith that grants them divinity."
"As long as the myths about them are still spreading in the World."
"These gods from the stories can use faith to be reborn once again."
Su Ye smiled faintly, telling the truth that shocked Hill.
"My God..."
Hill's eyes were filled with deep shock, and she even began to look Su Ye up and down.
Using Western naming conventions... Su Ye's name, in formal occasions, should be called: Ye Su. Without considering tone changes, when read in Chinese, it is the name of the Son of God!
If... Thor really exists... then... is there a possibility that there is more than one such god? Could the person sitting next to her be that God?
Looking at Hill's dazed expression, with awe beginning to show in her eyes, Su Ye curled his lip; he knew this guy Hill was letting her imagination run wild again.
"What are you thinking about so seriously?"
Su Ye snapped his fingers crisply, forcibly waking Hill from her daze.
"Su Ye..."
"You... you wouldn't happen to be a god too, would you..."
"I joked with you before, I won't go to hell when I die, right..."
Hill looked at Su Ye nervously; as a white person, she was still very reverent about such things.
Yes... not believing in the existence of gods... fearing going to hell after death... these two seemingly contradictory things can actually coexist. People like Hill are a good example.
"Ha!"
"If I were God, Fury would still be working in the fields!"
"Whether he gets whipped today would depend on my mood!"
Su Ye laughed in spite of his anger, dismissing Hill's wild fantasies, and didn't forget to tease his good friend.
[Nick Fury: Motherf...]
[Snap! (Sound of a whip)]
[Nick Fury: Ah! (Scream)]
"It's better not to say things that are unhelpful to unity."
"You know, this is a slippery slope that shouldn't be touched."
Hill gave a dry laugh and quickly stopped Su Ye.
"Alright..."
"I think it's time to tell you some of the truth."
"Thor from Norse mythology has just been settled by me."
"He is staying in this hotel, don't go and disturb him."
"Also..."
"You can conduct research on Mjolnir."
"If conditions permit, collect more data."
"This data will be very useful, believe me."
Su Ye put on the air of a leader, put away his playful expression, and sternly and majestically assigned the mission.
"Very well, Officer."
"We will follow your instructions."
"Is there anything else you need to add?"
Hill also put aside her playful thoughts and listened seriously to Su Ye's orders.
Su Ye rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, and then said with a gloomy face.
"There is one more thing..."
"Thor is not the only god to descend."
"His brother, the God of Mischief, Loki."
"Before long, I'm afraid he will also descend here."
Su Ye's tone was serious. Loki was no ordinary minor villain; this guy had another title! The God of Mischief!
The most terrifying thing about Loki wasn't his magic, but the bad ideas in his head! This kind of guy who likes to play mind games is the most difficult type of Supervillain to deal with!
"Loki...?"
Hill's eyes widened, her pupils beginning to tremble. Her worldview had been completely shattered.
Su Ye raised his hand and patted Hill on the shoulder, not just in encouragement, but also with a sense of pity.
"You'd better pray that your Agents..."
"Can be of some use in front of the God of Mischief..."
"Lest he infiltrates your ranks and you remain kept in the dark..."
