"So, next up is a choice between two."
Seeing both hammers being so proactive, Thor became arrogant and started boasting.
"So, whichever one can allow me to re-awaken my power and become the true God of Thunder again, that one is my mjolnir."
The golden hammer and the silver hammer flew over simultaneously. Thor's face lit up with joy, and he stretched out both hands, grasping both hammers at once.
In an instant, he felt a familiar aura emanating from both hammers.
That was his power!
But for some reason, he felt like these two hammers were slightly unfamiliar in his hands.
"Did you use a Clone technique?"
"It seems like... they are both my hammers?"
Thor wondered, swinging them, and lightning crackled loudly.
"But I can be sure that the unremarkable hammer is definitely not my beloved mjolnir."
Hearing this, mjolnir flew into Aaron's hand, as if throwing a tantrum.
Aaron's expression was strange as he watched Thor's smug look while hugging the two hammers.
So this is the kind of God of Thunder you are.
Having one on each arm, huh?
Not only did he fail to recognize the real mjolnir, but he also denied it and favored the other two hammers right in front of it?
Aaron asked, "In that case, mjolnir belongs to me?"
Hearing this, Thor grandly swung the hammers. "That wasn't my mjolnir anyway. Take it if you want it."
"I have two hammers now."
"But... which one is the real mjolnir?"
Watching Thor's puzzled look, Aaron's lips curved up.
After the primal furnace refined it, it could extract its characteristics for Aaron. At the same time, Aaron could freely manufacture mjolnir.
This mjolnir was the previous replica, identical to the original. The enchantment on it was also the same.
If Thor got his hands on it, he still wouldn't be able to lift it. But Aaron could use it directly. After obtaining [Asgard's God King], he could even change the divine enchantment on it and bestow it upon someone he approved of, allowing that person to also gain Thor's power.
Don't be fooled by the fact that the two hammers in Thor's hands possess Thor's Power, can fly, and have sentience.
In reality, they contain extremely high levels of gold and silver content. They only have a small amount of uru metal mixed in.
The power they possess is weak. Combined, they are still inferior to the true mjolnir. Furthermore, due to the material issue, they are "glass cannons" and would genuinely shatter upon impact.
It's just that Thor doesn't have a clear understanding of his own strength, and mjolnir usually felt as light as an ordinary hammer in his hand, which is why he didn't notice the anomaly.
Or rather, Thor noticed the anomalies but didn't pay them any mind.
Because he had gained a slightly weaker version of his power and regained the qualifications of the God of Thunder.
Playing around is fine, but when it comes to the crucial moment... heh heh.
Aaron was looking forward to this. He originally wanted to see if Thor could recognize mjolnir, but now it seems...
"Meow-Meow Hammer, from now on, I am your only true master, right?"
Mjolnir "obediently" nodded on its own. Due to "excitement," the hammer body even trembled slightly.
When it was refined by the primal furnace, it didn't notice the changes to itself, but it felt a sense of fear.
Mjolnir originally had no such emotion as fear. No matter what enemy it faced, it would charge forward fearlessly, even if it meant being shattered. But in front of the primal furnace and Aaron, it felt fear.
Seeing this, Thor burst into another round of mocking laughter. "Hahaha, is your hammer afraid? But my mjolnir absolutely isn't. They are both the best. I love my mjolnir the most."
Thor clanged the hammers together twice, the sound was quite crisp. A trace of violent lightning also flashed.
Amidst the brilliant lightning, Thor failed to notice that the points where the golden hammer and the silver hammer collided had slightly deformed.
"This sound is as crisp as ever. Didn't you want to try? Shall we play?"
With two hammers in hand—double the joy, double the strength—Thor felt capable again.
Although he noticed the sound of the hammers was slightly different from before, he paid it no mind.
Coulson and the others nearby were dumbfounded.
Three hammers?
Lightning?
Thor, who was originally an idiot, suddenly mastered the power of thunder?
And Aaron, the river god?
What in the world is going on?
As they recalled, wasn't Aaron the CEO of Osborn Industries, the billionaire who had recently overshadowed Tony and was the most prominent figure?
Oh, and possibly Superman?
But now... how did he become the river god too?
Aaron ignored their confused state. Just as he was about to reply to Thor, his expression suddenly shifted.
He looked toward the other side, where there was no one. His gaze penetrated layer after layer of obstruction, reaching the perimeter of the temporary base.
"We can deal with the fight later. Right now, I need to handle something."
"You can wait here, or you can find my driver and have him take you to the town. In any case, wait a bit. I'm going to buy some oranges."
After giving his instructions, Aaron flashed, transforming into the wind as he departed.
"Where did he go?"
Coulson and the others looked left and right, only seeing a piece of hanging cloth slowly drifting down in the distance.
Thor's eyes widened, and he muttered, "Could he also be the God of Speed?"
Meanwhile, outside the base.
Aaron appeared on a piece of empty ground as if teleporting.
"Loki, you're just watching from outside. Aren't you going to come in and play?"
A figure suddenly materialized in the spot that had been completely empty moments before.
"Midgardian, you can actually see through my magic?" Loki's eyes were wide, and his voice was full of shock.
"Magic? Is it impressive?"
Aaron scoffed with a laugh, and as he spoke, he suddenly disappeared.
Loki blinked, his expression shifting between shock and doubt. "Did he leave? Or... is he invisible?"
"Hmph, to pull such petty tricks in front of a god, how utterly senseless."
Loki raised his hand and instantly cast a revealing magic. The principle of this magic is to disrupt nearby light, easily destroying invisibility magic.
However...
"What?!"
"He didn't materialize?"
Loki looked around, but he still couldn't see Aaron.
"Is that the extent of your capability?" Aaron's voice suddenly came from behind him.
Startled, Loki immediately spun around. Looking at Aaron, who had suddenly appeared, he felt the urge to retreat and wanted to slip away immediately.
This Midgardian has some real skill.
Loki snorted, "I had already noticed you behind me. I merely chose not to expose your trick."
"Mortal, remember this: the one before you is the Nine Realms' foremost sorcerer, the lord of the nine realms—Loki."
Aaron waved his hand. "Go tell that to other people. Other Midgardians won't know, but if you happen to run into a bald person in a yellow robe, you'd better not say it to her either."
Loki's invisibility magic was indeed quite good, but in front of Aaron's eyes, it was full of flaws.
Can you absorb light? What about thermal energy? Kinetic energy? The wind? What about the pheromones the body emits? The distinct scent? The vibrations when you walk? Can you block all of that completely?
You can't, can you?
But I can.
Of course, Aaron never underestimated magic. But that didn't mean Loki could draw his attention.
It's true that Loki has great magic potential, but he lacks focus.
If he just gave up those two daggers and focused solely on magic, he might actually have become the Nine Realms' foremost sorcerer.
But now... sorry, nobody acknowledges that.
