Chapter 102. Thor's Power Advanced Experience Version

Thor's eyes welled up with tears. His beloved Mjolnir had been transformed, held in someone else's hands, and even changed into something someone else liked.

Myrnier's clear sense of joy felt like a thousand needles piercing his heart, while simultaneously darting back and forth within it.

The pain is unbearable. It is the pain of losing a partner, the pain of loving someone who has given their heart to another, the pain of betrayal.

The once arrogant Thor slumped to the ground, his expression contorted, tears streaming down his face.

"No!!! My Mjolnir!!!"

Thor bravely got up and ran towards Steve, wanting to take the familiar yet unfamiliar shield with both hands.

Seeing Thor's devastated state, Steve instinctively handed him the shield.

next moment.

boom!

As if a meteorite had fallen, or as if a god had perished, the shield crashed to the ground along with Thor.

Clearly, even with a different appearance and enhanced essence, Mjolnir still doesn't acknowledge our Thor.

"No!!!!!"

The heart-wrenching roar pierced through the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. base, leaving all who heard it heartbroken and looking on with puzzled eyes. Who could have made our alien prince so sad?

Thor lay on the ground, straining with both hands, frantically trying to lift the shield.

Unfortunately, the shield was like a block of ice that would never melt, and no amount of Thor's enthusiasm could melt it even a little.

Finally, he was exhausted. He let go of the edge of the shield, fell backward, and lay on the ground. Tears streamed down his face, and he looked like a dead fish.

"Thor, you—" Steve stepped forward, ready to comfort the grief-stricken God of Thunder.

"No, you have no idea how I feel." Thor seemed to have guessed what Steve was going to say and interrupted him directly.

"Mjolnir has been with me for thousands of years. It was born in the heart of a dying star, and the branches of the World Tree gave it life. It is a witness to history. It is not a hammer; it is my partner, my brother."

"He and I fought side by side in the Nine Realms, protecting the peace of the Nine Realms."

"But now—"

"It's dead!"

Thor wanted to punch the smiling messenger of the gods in the face, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. He hated his own weakness; how could he not even be able to throw a punch?

They just watched helplessly as the murderer "killed" their partner.

Ji Yuan glanced at Thor with a strange look, not expecting the guy to be so sentimental. He said in surprise, "Who told you Mjolnir died? It just got stronger, but it still doesn't acknowledge you."

Thor was quite happy when he heard the first sentence. It turned out he had become stronger, not gone. Haha.

Hearing the last sentence made him feel even worse. So even if he had grasped the true meaning of the Father of Gods, he still didn't approve of him?

He stood up quickly, took the tissue Peter handed him from somewhere, wiped his face haphazardly, and gave an awkward smile.

"As you know, Mjolnir is my good brother who fought in the Nine Realms. I'm sorry, I lost my composure a bit."

Ji Yuan shook his head and smiled, then reached out and took the shield from the ground into his hand. With a thought, Mjolnir began to transform rapidly.

Swords, broadswords, spiked clubs, long staffs, armor, spatulas, Gatling guns—

In short, under Ji Yuan's blessing of light, Mjolnir underwent a qualitative change, gaining not only the power of Thor but also the power of light.

Holding Mjolnir will grant you the blessing of light; wherever the light shines, you will be invincible.

It also has the ability to change its appearance according to the user's wishes, and can be described as having everything from tableware to weapons.

Thor, standing beside him, was so amazed by the many changes his Mjolnir had undergone that his eyes practically shone with pride. He was already imagining how cool it would be to fight on the battlefield with the brand-new Mjolnir.

But what Ji Yuan said next poured cold water on his enthusiasm: "Mjolnir's selection criteria have changed; you probably can't use him anymore."

His selection criteria have become—well, more stringent—so you probably won't be able to use them.

Inspired by magical blessings, Ji Yuan further enhanced his ability to manipulate thoughts, creating a kind of Ultraman-style "I Think Power" that allows one to have whatever one wants.

However, it is not mature enough yet, and its integration with the rules of the universe is not harmonious enough. Some minor problems have occurred during the activation of its abilities.

Mjolnir has been enhanced, that's for sure, but the recognition mechanism has changed. Now, its recognition mechanism requires the holder to possess the "Light of the Fittest" to lift and use it.

As it stands, only Steve can use it. Ji Yuan is really afraid that if he wants to make changes without any loss, he will destroy it. This hammer has already merged with the rules of the universe to a certain extent, and rashly changing it is likely to cause it to collapse.

Thor was stunned, completely dumbfounded. The fantasy he had just had could no longer become a reality. His hammer was still far away from him, but at least it was still "alive" and had a partner he recognized.

He swayed as he sat on the stool, his shoulders slumped, his head heavy, as if a dark cloud was hanging over him, making him look extremely depressed.

"Maybe being a mortal is fine too. Without the hammer, I'm nothing."

Steve couldn't bear to look at Thor like this anymore. A person's will should not be based solely on tools, but on themselves, on their own being.

From the few words he had just heard, he knew that this Thor's lifespan far exceeded that of mortals, and that he had left behind many legends in the Nine Realms.

But Steve doesn't think that just anyone holding a hammer and unleashing lightning can be called Thor. From the wisdom of the Allfather, Thor is called Thor not because of a hammer, but because of who he is.

So Steve put his hand on Thor's shoulder and said in a gentle tone, "Thor, a person's worth is not tied to their weapon. I don't know what you've done, but I'm sure you're called Thor because of a hammer."

"If it's just because of a hammer, then why not call you the God of Hammers, but the God of Thunder? Because a hammer can generate electricity, so why not give the title to the hammer?"

"Yes." Ji Yuan also stepped forward. "Thor, have you ever wondered why it's only called Thor's hammer when you're using it?"

"When your enemies hear the name of Thor's hammer, the first thing they think of is you, and only then will they think of the hammer itself."

"Although it can unleash the power of thunder, why is it only called Thor's hammer when you use it? When others use it, it's just called Mjolnir."

"You must understand that the storm and thunder are your own divine nature, not bestowed by the hammer. They are merely tools to guide you in using your own power, not your power itself."

Thor's gaze shifted, because what the two said made perfect sense, and he had a feeling that this messenger of the gods seemed to know him very well.

"But if I can't lift the hammer, I have no power at all. Maybe I really am the god of hammers, but I just happen to be able to generate electricity." It made sense, but without power, there was no power. He raised his head and lowered it again, his mood still depressed.

Ji Yuan shook his head. This big oaf is really something. No wonder he only grasped the essence of power under those circumstances in the original story. It seems we need to let him experience it ahead of time.

"Thor, see your own true nature!"

A loud and solemn voice echoed in the room, like a divine whisper, or perhaps an echo of one's own voice.

Thor looked up and a warm light shone before his eyes. He felt a surge of power within him, a feeling that seemed to have existed for a long time but had never truly manifested.

next moment.

An incomparably powerful force surged through Thor's body, and azure light appeared on his skin. His eyes blazed with intense light, and an unprecedented power emerged from the depths of his heart.

He instinctively shouted at the top of his lungs, "I am Thor!"

However, he only managed to utter the first two words before losing his strength and collapsing instantly, because Ji Yuan had taken away his advanced experience qualification.

However, Thor did not lose his power or feel disappointed. Instead, he looked at Ji Yuan with great shock and anticipation. He could feel that the power originated from within his own body, and that absolute sense of control was undeniable.

Just as he had thought, the Allfather had sent him to Midgard so that he could truly control his power. Perhaps Mjolnir's change was also within his father's expectations.

He sighed inwardly, "To follow such a valiant warrior is not an insult to Mjolnir. Indeed, as clever as I am, I have already seen through everything. The true power is here!"

Thor looked earnestly at Ji Yuan, his previous gloom and disappointment vanishing, and said in a loud voice, "Envoy Ji Yuan, teach me!"

Ji Yuan gestured towards Steve with his chin: "Just follow Steve, he'll teach you how to comprehend the power within your body."

Steve turned his head and gave Ji Yuan a look, the meaning of which was self-evident: how could a mortal who had been lucky enough to be favored by the gods teach the gods to comprehend power? Wasn't that just a joke?

Ji Yuan also gave Steve a reassuring look.

In fact, after briefly awakening Thor's power, he sealed it away again. The way to break the seal was to comprehend what the way of the king is.

Actually, it's not much different from realizing how to lift a hammer, except that one is lifting an external hammer and the other is lifting the inner self. Awakening your power sooner might bring about different changes.

"Alright, Steve, I'm heading back now. Remember our plan," Ji Yuan reminded him.

Steve smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, Doctor, everything is going according to plan. With Thor around, we're even more confident about this."

Thor's gaze darted back and forth between the two men, puzzled. What plan?
