New Mexico, also known as the Cactus State, the Land of Enchantment, and the Sunshine State, has unique scenery, with deserts, red rock cliffs, and of course, most commonly, cacti everywhere.
The typical desert climate makes it warm and dry, with plenty of sunshine and low humidity, and the wine produced here is also quite famous.
Puente Antiguo, a city in the desert with a population of only over two thousand, an invisible Quinjet slowly landed on the edge of the city.
"I really shouldn't have believed Your nonsense." As soon as he got off the plane, Tony Stark started regretting it.
Racing, beauties, champagne, aren't those better?
Why did I have to come to this godforsaken place?
And, You have a beauty accompanying You, what about Me?
Where is My beauty?
My companion is...
"Sir, should we go back?" Happy asked straightforwardly, carrying the briefcase.
Samuel smiled and said to the dark-faced Tony Stark: "A mountain doesn't need to be high to be famous if there is an immortal!
We are here to see Thor, not for a vacation."
Tony Stark glanced at Christine Everhart next to Samuel.
"Really?
I don't believe it!"
Puente Antiguo was small in scale and population, but its infrastructure was complete, truly a case of "small as a sparrow may be, it has all the vital organs."
In front of an unmarked workshop, Tony Stark looked at Samuel with a face full of suspicion.
"Hey, You're not going to tell Me that this Thor guy is here, are You?"
"Yeah."
Tony Stark turned to Happy and said: "Remember to remind Me never to believe his non..."
Before he could finish the word, he was interrupted by Samuel's clear and resonant shout.
"Son of Odin, God of Thunder, Prince of Asgard — Thor Odinson, come out and see Me!"
"Bang!"
The door was pushed open forcefully, and a long-haired golden man wearing jeans and a white T-shirt strode out.
At the same time, two girls, 'one large and one small', and an old man ran out after him.
"Someone actually came out...
This big guy is Thor?
Besides his nice hair, there's nothing special about him."
Tony Stark muttered inwardly in surprise.
It wasn't just him; Happy and Christine Everhart, as well as Dr. Erik Selvig, Jane Foster, and Daisy Lewis behind Thor, were equally surprised.
Was this 'picked up' lunatic really Thor from Norse mythology?
What he said wasn't nonsense after all?!
"You know Me?" Thor stared at Samuel, then suddenly grinned excitedly: "Great, someone finally recognizes Me!
Friend, I need Your help!"
"Is this guy really that Thor?
He doesn't look like it." Tony Stark complained, shouting at him: "Hey, big guy, how do You prove You are Thor?"
"I, Thor Odinson, Son of Odin, God of Thunder, Prince of Asgard!"
"No one in the Nine Realms dares to impersonate Me, and no one can impersonate Me, because My Mjolnir is unique!"
Thor said confidently and proudly.
Tony Stark looked at Samuel: "What is Mjolnir?"
"Mjolnir."
Tony Stark said 'Oh', and asked Thor: "Where is Your hammer?"
Thor's expression darkened, and he shook his head: "I, I don't know where it is either."
"So You don't have Your hammer now?
Alright, the problem is back to square one, without the hammer, how do You prove You are Thor?" Tony Stark asked, spreading his hands.
"I will find it!
As long as I find it, I can prove My identity and return to Asgard!" Thor said seriously.
Then, he looked at Samuel.
"Friend, help Me find Mjolnir, and You will gain My friendship in return."
Thor's friendship was a good thing for most people in the Nine Realms, and as for his matter-of-fact attitude, it was also taken for granted by the people of the Nine Realms, after all, he was the Prince of Asgard.
But it didn't work with Samuel, after all, he wasn't without Thor under his command, and not just one.
Samuel pouted: "Don't say You are just the Prince of Asgard now, and have lost Your power, even if You were the King of Asgard, Your friendship would be worthless to Me."
"You dare to insult Me, insult Asgard!" Thor roared like an enraged lion, charging over with a punch.
"Careful!"
Samuel thought of Jane Foster warning him and smiled, casually extending a finger to block Thor's fist.
"This, this is impossible?!"
"Sweetheart, You don't even know what's possible!"
Samuel's lips curved slightly, his finger bent with force, and he flicked it gently.
"Whoosh—"
Just like how Hulk flew out not long ago, Thor flew out the same way now!
"Bang!"
Thor fell heavily to the ground, sliding all the way along the ground into the laboratory, and then crashing into the office desk.
"Wow—" Daisy Lewis's exclamation made everyone wake up as if from a dream.
Dr. Erik Selvig and Jane Foster subconsciously turned to check on Thor, only to see Thor floating out from inside, looking defeated and disheveled.
That's right, floating!
His feet were off the ground, as if enveloped by an invisible mysterious force, floating all the way to Samuel's front.
Samuel's finger gently pressed downwards, and Thor only felt an unbearable immense force surging towards him, making him involuntarily fall to his knees with a thud.
"Even Your Father, the King of Asgard, All-Father Odin, wouldn't dare to easily attack Me, do You know why?"
Samuel looked down from above, smiling as he watched Thor, who was seven parts unconvinced and eight parts indignant: "Because I am stronger than him!"
"Impossible! My Father is the King of Asgard, the ruler of the Nine Realms, the most powerful All-Father, You... what are You doing?" Thor's eyes widened suddenly, looking incredulously as Samuel made the gesture he often made.
"Impossible! You can't summon Mjolnir, no one can use it except me! No... no... come here, come quickly!"
Before Thor could finish his rebuttal, he was smacked in the face by Mjolnir flying from a distance. Unable to accept it, he also stretched out his hand, trying to prove that he was its Master.
"Whoosh—"
Mjolnir sped towards him, and with a 'thud', it landed steadily in Samuel's hand.
"No..."
Thor yelled hysterically, but Mjolnir was like a gold-digging green tea girl who had found a rich patron, utterly indifferent to him, giving no response.
"Why? Why is this happening! It's clearly mine, I am its Master, I am Thor!"
Samuel held Mjolnir and said to Thor with a light chuckle: "If You are willing to apologize, I can return it to You."
