"Come on, Stark."
"You know you're wasting your time, right?"
Black Widow watched Tony Stark straining, his face red and his neck bulging, and couldn't help but shrug and laugh.
However, the true meaning of her words was only understood by her, Nick Fury, and Tony Stark, the Diary holders.
After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, this hammer was just difficult to lift, which was a bit strange.
But these Diary holders knew very well that this hammer was an Artifact!
It belonged to Thor!
"I believe things would be different if I changed my 'outfit'."
Tony Stark stopped his attempts for the time being.
What he was thinking, no one knew, but his mouth was still as unyielding as ever.
Black Widow just shook her head, not saying much.
Having been undercover near Tony Stark for so long, she understood his personality quite well.
"No one can pick it up?"
Red Guardian's interest was completely piqued. He walked over, rubbing his fists together, and grabbed the hammer.
"That's because I haven't made my move yet!"
Confidently dropping that line, Red Guardian casually tried to pick up the hammer.
He planned to put on a good show for everyone.
He immediately realized that the hammer didn't budge an inch, and he felt as though he was trying to move a mountain.
"I haven't even started to use any strength yet, and when I really put my back into it, this hammer will definitely!"
"Definitely!"
Red Guardian's voice abruptly stopped, and he could no longer maintain his elegant pose.
He grabbed the hammer with both hands, using all his strength.
However, just like Tony Stark, his butt was about to explode from the effort, but it was completely useless.
"Well, this thing is really quite something."
Red Guardian smiled sheepishly, admitting defeat.
"Who is this 'Long-Haired Nikola'? Did you bring him?"
Tony Stark looked at Nick Fury with a questioning gaze.
The "Nikola" that the playboy referred to was actually the basketball star Nikola Jokic.
Of course, he didn't look anything like Red Guardian, but their plump figures were exactly the same.
"Stark, this is 'Peace Warrior', Eric Joseph."
"Eric, this is Destroyer, Tony Stark."
Nick Fury simply introduced Red Guardian and Tony Stark to each other.
However, the introduction focused on Red Guardian's new identity, or rather, his American identity.
Peace Warrior, Eric Joseph.
"Destroyer, I've heard your name. You're an interesting fellow, but doesn't that thick iron shell make you hot?"
Red Guardian greeted Tony Stark casually.
"Seriously?"
Tony Stark was a little surprised. "I thought you were just full of fat, but it seems your brain is too."
Otherwise, how could he ask such a stupid question?
"You really think putting on an Iron Man suit is just like wearing a metal shell?"
"My father used to talk about you, actually, quite a lot. I never thought I'd actually meet you, Captain."
Shaking his head, Tony Stark ignored the Red Guardian and turned his gaze to Captain America, offering a greeting.
"Mr. Stark!"
Captain America nodded back at Tony Stark.
A strange look couldn't help but appear in his eyes.
Thinking back, when he knew Howard, Howard seemed to be about the same age as Stark.
No, he even looked younger!
Then, after closing his eyes and opening them again, Howard was no longer with them.
And now, Howard's son, who was the same age as Howard, stood before him.
It was a strange feeling, that much was undeniable.
"Coulson, you take point here."
Nick Fury, after everyone had exchanged greetings, wasted no time. He gave Coulson instructions and then left with the Avengers.
They arrived at a temporary base Fury had prepared, where they would keep Red Guardian and Captain America for the time being.
As for Nick Fury himself?
He, Black Widow, and Tony Stark, the other Diary holders, headed to the small town hospital in New Mexico.
"Sir, everything's taken care of. We can leave anytime," Hawkeye Barton, who had used his FBI credentials to navigate the hospital's procedures, reported to Nick Fury immediately.
"Let's go!"
Nick Fury nodded.
Without any further ado, the group, led by Hawkeye Barton, proceeded to a room on the second floor.
"Let me go! You foolish mortals!"
"Do you know who I am? I am Thor, son of Odin!"
"How dare you offend Thor like this!"
As soon as they reached the door, roars, like a beast's desperate cries, erupted from within.
Through the glass window, they saw a man with long, golden hair and a physique as perfect as a bodybuilder, struggling incessantly on the bed.
However, his limbs and body were tightly bound by various straps, so he couldn't break free no matter how hard he tried.
He looked utterly pathetic.
"Don't tell me this guy is Thor."
Tony Stark couldn't help but shake his head repeatedly. The poor kid and "Thor" were completely incompatible!
He was Thor, for crying out loud! And he couldn't even escape a small hospital room?
It was simply too ridiculous.
The playboy couldn't help but glance at Nick Fury beside him. "You wouldn't have gotten the wrong person, would you?"
Of course, that was just a joke.
Tony naturally understood that someone of Nick Fury's caliber wouldn't make such a basic mistake.
Not to mention the detailed information revealed in the Diary, like being knocked down by Jane Foster, getting zapped by Daisy, and then being sent to a mental hospital.
How could he be wrong?
Besides, although no one knew what was going on with Thor, since he could be taken down by a toy like a taser, well, it wasn't surprising that he couldn't escape a small ward.
But there was one thing.
This guy really did completely destroy the image of Thor in Tony Stark's mind! "That's right."
Hawkeye Barton obviously didn't understand what Tony Stark meant. He chimed in, "Ever since this guy was locked up, he's been spouting crazy nonsense about Thor and Asgard."
"Let's go, let's go see our Thor!"
Nick Fury's voice rang out. He beckoned to the people around him and pushed the door open to walk in.
The group arrived in front of Thor.
"Let me go! Let me go right now!"
"I am the son of Odin, I am from Asgard!"
"Do you know what you've done?"
Thor struggled even more violently when he saw people entering, roaring at Nick Fury and the others.
"It's no use getting angry; haven't you realized that after all this time?"
Tony Stark nonchalantly walked around Thor, examining him with curiosity.
"Are you mocking me? Mortal!"
Thor glared at Tony, a little angry.
"No, I'm actually curious."
"Even though I've never seen a real god, shouldn't gods possess powerful divine abilities?"
"Stuff like this."
Speaking of which, Tony Stark tugged at the restraints binding Thor. "Should be like a toy to you, right?"
"Why did you get yourself into this mess?"
The playboy was really curious about this question.
Of course, it wasn't just him; Nick Fury and Black Widow were also similarly puzzled.
Thor stopped his roaring.
Although Tony Stark's words weren't very polite, he was the first person in a long time who hadn't mocked him, treated him like a madman, and instead listened seriously to what he had to say.
"My divine power has been stripped away."
Thor's face showed a hint of sadness, and his voice was also three points lower.
"Sounds like a terrible experience."
Nick Fury stepped forward and said to Thor with a serious expression, "But, that's enough for now, we're here to take you away."
"Really?"
Thor was both surprised and delighted, and also a little caught off guard. "You believe me? You believe I am Thor?"
"It's not belief, it's knowledge."
Black Widow chimed in, "We know you're Thor, and we'll get you out of here. So could you please be quiet for a moment?"
"R-really?"
Thor felt happiness wash over him so suddenly that his eyes started to water. "You must be the smartest and wisest people on this planet, right?"
"I won't comment on them, but I certainly have no problem with that assessment."
Tony Stark didn't know the meaning of humility and readily accepted the compliment.
Black Widow wordlessly shrugged, not bothering to comment.
She walked forward and began to untie all the restraints binding Thor.
Thor was free again.
"Haha, this is great! Finally rid of those things!"
Thor stretched his limbs, feeling great. "Thank you all, Thor will remember your help!"
"You're welcome, Mr. Thor."
Nick Fury gestured for Thor to follow. "Let's get out of here first."
"No, I have something very important to do, my hammer is lost."
"I need to find my hammer!"
Thor finally remembered the important matter and urgently told Nick Fury and the others.
Although he also wanted to thank these wise people who had helped him, finding his hammer was still the priority.
"Relax, I know where your hammer is."
"We can take things slow."
Nick Fury said to Thor again.
"Really?"
"You guys know what I'm talking about? My hammer, Mjolnir, every time I swing it, it summons awesome lightning."
"You guys know it, right? This is so great."
"Buddy, tell me, where's Mjolnir!"
Thor excitedly kept shouting at Nick Fury.
Nick Fury's initial plan was to settle Thor down first, allowing both sides to get acquainted and then gather information.
He wanted to understand why Thor had arrived on Earth with his hammer, and learn more about the impending Destroyer.
However, seeing Thor's current state, Nick Fury knew the god wouldn't be able to contain himself. He had to let Thor get what he wanted first.
"Thor, hold on, I'll take you there."
Nick Fury immediately restrained Thor, who was practically bursting with excitement, eager to fly off.
The rest was a given.
Having just arrived in town, Nick Fury and the others drove out again, heading toward the sealed-off crater.
"Sir."
Coulson, who had received the news early, was already waiting at the scene. He personally led Nick Fury and the others to the location of Mjolnir.
"Mjolnir, it's you!"
"I finally found you!"
Upon seeing the hammer standing in the crater, Thor immediately rushed towards it, his joy akin to that of a child.
The smile on his face could melt even winter's snow; it was that radiant.
Clap!
Without a moment's hesitation, Thor eagerly placed his hand on the handle of Mjolnir.
"Sir, do you think he can really lift that hammer?"
Seeing Thor's actions, Coulson couldn't help but ask Nick Fury, curious and expectant.
Because the facts were already quite clear.
Their superior had made a special trip back, just to let that blond "drifter" try the hammer.
Thinking back to how their superior had told him to keep an eye on Jane Foster several months ago, was their superior already planning this, waiting for the "drifter" to appear?
Although he didn't know his superior's exact purpose, all of this filled Coulson with endless anticipation.
"If anyone has the best chance of picking up that hammer, it's him."
Nick Fury stared directly at Thor, casually explaining to Coulson.
Even the director himself was filled with anticipation.
This was Thor, after all!
How could he not pick up his own hammer?
Not only Nick Fury, but also Black Widow and Tony Stark, who knew Thor's background, were equally filled with anticipation.
But little did they know how much they would be disappointed in the next moment.
Under the gaze of everyone, Thor began to try to pick up the hammer, just like the others.
But immediately.
The confident and matter-of-fact smile on his face froze.
In its place, a look of disbelief appeared.
???
What the hell?
Why can't I lift my own hammer!
This is impossible!
Thor was truly agitated.
He took a deep breath and gripped the hammer with both hands, putting in all his effort, straining with all his might.
However, the result remained unchanged.
The hammer was perfectly fine, not budging an inch.
No matter how hard Thor tried, it was useless.
"No!"
The next moment.
A deafening roar echoed through the scene.
Thor knelt weakly on the ground, gazing up at the heavens and wailing.
