"I want to try again."
Thor suddenly spoke and approached the hammer.
This made everyone immediately turn their eyes to him, full of curiosity.
Could Thor, the God of Thunder who had lost his divine power, once again regain his strength through the support of Thor's hammer!?
Coulson and the others hoped for it and were excited to perhaps finally witness the real Thor!
Thor looked at Mjolnir, who had accompanied him for countless days, and for the first time stood in front of it full of nervousness!
He was both afraid and hesitant.
Mjolnir, I know I was wrong, but I'm determined to change, so please acknowledge me and return to my hand!
Thor pleaded in his thoughts, closed his eyes, and grabbed the hammer's handle with his right hand.
At the moment he tried to lift the hammer, he felt it suddenly move, and a trace of lightning appeared around Thor.
In that instant, Thor abruptly opened his eyes!
"Ha! I did it?!"
Thor shouted with joy!!
But soon Thor realized something was wrong.
Hm?
Just a second after feeling joy, he realized that the hammer was once again completely immobile, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't lift it.
"I still didn't succeed…"
Thor felt helpless.
But fortunately, this time Thor didn't lose confidence, he was only disappointed and thought he still wasn't qualified enough.
After all, just now the hammer did move!
Even if it was just for a moment, it proved that his decision wasn't wrong!!
Coulson, Tony, and the others beside them all shook their heads in disappointment.
Just a bit more!
They had almost witnessed the return of Thor!
"Did I just imagine it? Did the hammer move?" Tony turned to Alaric and asked.
"You didn't imagine it, it moved."
Alaric looked at the sky with a strange expression.
If his feeling wasn't wrong, Thor, who repented and regained his confidence, had already been acknowledged by Mjolnir.
But just when the hammer tried to respond to Thor, some will descended and pressed it down again.
If Alaric guessed correctly, it should be Odin.
So, Odin thinks Thor still needs to be tested?
It can only be said, Odin really knows how to play.
"So, there's no one on Earth who can be acknowledged by this hammer?"
Coulson was disappointed.
"My uncle can." Thor said coldly.
"Ha? Mr. Alaric can!?" Coulson looked at Alaric in shock.
"Can you really?" Tony also exclaimed.
"Why not?"
Alaric stretched out his hand and directly summoned the hammer.
"Oh."
"..."
Coulson, Tony, and the others suddenly fell silent.
Thor was actually right there beside them!?
"You're actually pure of heart?!" Tony looked on in disbelief.
"What do you mean by that?" Alaric gave him a dark look.
"Ahem, nothing, I was just a little surprised."
Tony sensed the threat in Alaric's gaze and immediately toned it down.
Thor looked at Alaric with admiration.
Uncle is truly uncle!
Even Odin's magic has no effect on Alaric!
"Coulson, you guys won't learn anything from this hammer anyway, so I'll take it with me for now."
Alaric said.
"Oh… well… understood." Coulson hesitated, but eventually nodded.
Let Fury deal with this later.
After all, he had no way of stopping Alaric.
"Jane, I'll take you flying~"
Alaric said, hugged Jane, spun the hammer, and flew out suddenly.
"Wait for me!" Tony rushed after them.
Thor opened his mouth, wanting to say, if possible, take me too.
But Alaric had already disappeared.
That made Thor feel like he'd lost a loved one!
It was like someone had taken his girlfriend right in front of him!!
And he was, supposedly, the owner of Mjolnir!!
My hammer!!
"Thor, let's head back first." Sig came over to Thor.
"Thank you, Sig."
In the end, Thor had no choice but to return by car with Sig.
After they left, Coulson began filing his report.
He repeated the story about Asgard that Jane had told him.
"That Jane Foster you mentioned is Alaric's girlfriend?"
Fury asked after listening.
"Yes."
Cold-faced Coulson almost didn't realize that Fury had latched onto the part he said at the beginning, that Jane Foster was Alaric's girlfriend.
Coulson didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Hill, compile a file focused on Jane Foster and everyone associated with her!"
"Understood!" Hill responded seriously beside him.
"Coulson, how credible do you think all of this is?"
"One hundred percent, sir! Jane Foster, as an astronomer, wouldn't tell such a detailed story if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes."
Coulson confirmed.
"Then for now, we'll go along with Alaric, consider Asgard allies, and as for Thor staying on Earth, you'll be in charge of monitoring that."
"Understood, and… that Mjolnir?"
"Since it's Thor's weapon, we won't get involved, we can't use it anyway."
Fury definitely wasn't going to have the whole world trying to lift it.
Whoever lifts it becomes the king of Earth?
Wouldn't that just erase his own authority in front of Alaric?
After all, Thor even calls Alaric uncle, and Alaric definitely wouldn't care much about Thor.
Thor's return is only a matter of time!
But looking at the long term, and with Alaric's words, Fury felt this was a good thing for Earth!
After all, if they have a god on their side, they'll be in a much better position in future crises.
So they should take this opportunity to build a good relationship with Thor!!
It's perfect that this task is entrusted to Coulson!
"Coulson, Thor is your responsibility."
"Understood, sir!"
Fury sighed after putting down the phone.
He didn't expect that, before solving internal problems on Earth, they already had to face threats from the vast universe beyond.
"Hill, notify those researchers, tell them to speed up development of the Tesseract, we need stronger weapons!"
Fury looked serious.
"Understood! But, sir, I found a very good person who might be able to help us."
"Who?"
"Eric Selvig, Jane Foster's colleague!"
Hill handed Fury a tablet; inside was a detailed profile of Professor Eric.
...
Town, Sig's house.
Since Sig's house is quite spacious and has enough space for everyone to live, Alaric, Jane, Tony, and Thor decided to temporarily stay there.
"So you're really Thor, the God of Thunder from Asgard!?"
"Oh my God! You're not a neurotic!!"
"I'm not dreaming, am I!!"
Sig looked at Thor in shock.
"There really are gods in this world? Or outside the planet?!"
Tony also looked like he wasn't feeling well and stared suspiciously.
But Alaric had personally said it all!!
Tony felt that the materialism he believed in had just taken another heavy blow.
