The boy stared at thor's hammer as if in a daze, muttering to himself. Thor couldn't hear him clearly due to the distance.
Thor felt the boy posed no threat, so he stepped forward, preparing to pick up thor's hammer, muttering, "Hey, boy, you'd best stay away from me, or you might get struck by lightning later."
The boy suddenly looked up, his voice growing louder, accompanied by a faint rumble of thunder.
As he continuously waved his hands, thor's hammer was no longer still; lightning surged, and it floated upwards.
Thor stood rooted to the spot, dumbfounded.
"Holy crab!!!"
thor's hammer floated in mid-air for a second before falling back down, but even that brief second had a tremendous impact on Thor.
He rubbed his eyes, thinking he must have been mistaken.
Chu Yang stroked his chin, lost in thought.
He had just deciphered a small portion of the magic Odin had left on thor's hammer, which was why the warhammer had reacted.
But it was only a small portion, not enough to control it freely.
Chu Yang was about to try again when Thor interrupted him in time.
"Hey, hey, hey, stop!"
"That's my hammer!"
Thor quickly stepped forward to stop Chu Yang's actions and asked, "How did you do that?"
Looking at the man's flowing golden hair and explosive muscles, Chu Yang knew this man was Thor.
"This hammer's power is restricted by magic. I wanted to see if I could unseal it," Chu Yang said truthfully.
"This is my hammer, no one can cast magic on it…"
Thor suddenly remembered what his father, Odin, had said when he banished him.
You are not worthy of being king!
Thor's expression immediately turned grim. He turned around, reached out to grasp thor's hammer, and tried to lift it.
The result…
thor's hammer seemed to weigh a thousand tons; his muscles bulged, and he exerted all his strength, but he couldn't budge it an inch.
He was not worthy of wielding thor's hammer!
Realizing this fact, Thor deflated like a punctured balloon, utterly dejected.
Rain mixed with mud covered Thor's entire body, making him look extremely disheveled at this moment.
He slowly looked up, just about to shout.
"Are you asking why?"
Thor turned in surprise to look at Chu Yang. How could this mysterious boy know what he was thinking?
"I deciphered part of the inscription. It says, 'Whosoever be worthy, shall wield this hammer, and possess the power of Thor.'"
"You said this is your warhammer, so, are you Thor?"
Chu Yang smiled, "Or rather, were you Thor?"
Hearing the word "were," Thor was very disheartened and said with a bitter smile, "Yes, I was a god."
Chu Yang asked again, "Why did you lose your worthiness as a god?"
"I…" Remembering his past actions, Thor was speechless.
He didn't really want to admit that his father, Odin, had stripped him of his powers because he was disappointed by his arrogance and stupidity.
"I see weakness on your face. You seem to lack the courage to admit some facts?"
Chu Yang's words startled Thor again.
"Alright, that's enough idle chatter. You trespassed into the research lab and injured so many agents. We have reason to detain you."
Phil Coulson appeared with a large number of soldiers and agents, subdued the battle-weary Thor, and locked him up.
He looked at Chu Yang and asked, "Do you really believe he's a god? Such a… down-and-out god?"
Chu Yang chuckled, "He's either a god or a lunatic, which do you choose?"
Phil Coulson sighed, rubbing his head, "I don't really want to choose either."
"Approach him with some sincerity. He doesn't seem to have much cunning, so you should be able to get something out of him." Chu Yang patted Phil's shoulder, yawned, and prepared to go to sleep; deciphering magic inscriptions had exhausted him.
"Sincerity again?" Phil Coulson frowned. This word had been appearing frequently within S.H.I.E.L.D. recently.
A moment later, a figure suddenly appeared in the room where Thor was being held.
The second son of King Odin.
Thor's brother.
Loki.
However, he was not Odin's biological son; Odin had found him on the battlefield during a war with the Frost Giants.
Now Loki knew the whole truth, and he felt that his father had always favored Thor because of their blood relation.
Feeling that he had no chance of inheriting the throne, Loki chose to betray Asgard and ally with the Frost Giants.
It just so happened that Odin had fallen into a deep sleep at this time.
Loki temporarily assumed the throne and ordered that no one be allowed to bring Thor back from Earth.
However, he himself secretly came to Earth, precisely to deceive Thor.
"Due to your arrogance, Asgard is once again at war with the Frost Giants. Father, advanced in years, could not bear such a tremendous blow and has passed away."
"Now, I have inherited the throne and signed a truce agreement with Laufey, on the condition that you are permanently banished. From now on, you can never return to Asgard."
The news of his father's death dealt Thor a far greater blow than the one he suffered when he couldn't lift thor's hammer.
Thor broke down in tears.
Loki turned his back, a slight smirk on his lips, then vanished from the room.
The God of Mischief was most skilled at lies.
The simple-minded Thor could never have imagined that his beloved brother would deceive him with such a matter.
Chu Yang, refreshed after a nap, prepared to continue researching thor's hammer.
Asgardian magic was very special, and by analogy, it significantly improved his own magical attainments.
Chu Yang felt that if he could thoroughly understand the inscriptions on thor's hammer, his wandless casting ability could be elevated to Dumbledore's level.
At that time, casting the Unforgivable Curses would be effortless.
Halfway there, Chu Yang remembered the dejected Thor.
So he made a detour, brewed two cups of coffee, and went to the room where Thor was being held.
Upon entering, he found Thor's mood even more somber than before.
"Not being able to pick up that hammer has made you this depressed?"
Chu Yang directly released Thor's restraints and handed him the coffee.
"It has nothing to do with mjolnir…" Thor held the coffee, his voice filled with sadness, "My father, the King, has passed away, and it's because of my selfishness and foolishness!"
A knowing look flashed in Chu Yang's eyes. It seemed that Loki, that little liar, had been here.
He then asked, "There's a lingering scent of magic here. May I ask who has been here?"
Thor looked up in surprise, "You can actually sense Loki's magic? He's the most powerful spellcaster in all of Asgard, besides my mother!"
"Loki." Chu Yang raised an eyebrow, smiling, "According to Norse mythology, you should be Thor, and your father is the legendary King Odin."
Thor nodded, "Yes."
The door to the room opened again.
It was Phil Coulson.
Seeing Chu Yang there, he said with surprise, "I thought you'd sleep until tomorrow morning."
Chu Yang chuckled, "Curiosity woke me up."
Phil Coulson nodded, "Understandable. Both scientists and mages are fascinated by knowledge."
"However, I hope you won't unilaterally unlock a prisoner's electronic shackles next time."
"My apologies." Chu Yang shrugged, "His current mood needs a hot cup of coffee to comfort him."
"His 'father, the King' Odin, has passed away."
Phil Coulson scratched his head, "He's not just a god, he's also a prince?"
Suddenly, Phil Coulson felt something was off, "Who did you say? Odin? The Odin from Norse mythology?"
Chu Yang nodded.
"That's right, the one you're currently tying up is the famous Thor."
Compared to Norse mythology, Americans prefer Greek mythology and have produced a large number of related films and television works.
They like to combine American elements with Greek mythology.
Making people from other countries mistakenly believe that Greek mythology is unique to the United States of America.
In this regard, their kimchi-eating son has learned well.
As for Norse mythology, most people have only heard of it and don't really understand it. Whenever the King of Gods is mentioned, everyone subconsciously thinks of Zeus instead of Odin.
Connecting it to mythology, Phil Coulson felt it was all very dreamlike at the moment, but the next second he felt Chu Yang was talking nonsense.
He wasn't even very willing to believe that Thor was a god, let alone believe he was Thor.
"Loki just visited."
Chu Yang dropped a bombshell.
"Impossible."
Phil immediately shook his head, "There are monitors everywhere here."
