The Giants of Light in the Marvel Universe

"So we're done?" Fury asked.He didn't care about the zeros on the check he had just handed out, since it wasn't his own money anyway. "Hiring a consultant" is a public matter, so it must be spent on public funds.

Besides, compared to the kickbacks he gets every year from the funds allocated by the council, this money is not even a drizzle

In fact, Richard talked to him about the compensation, and Fury found it more reassuring.Because since the other party is willing to collect money, it means that the other party is willing to abide by the rules and systems established by humans-even if the other party does not have to do so at all.After all, with Richard's real ability, things like money are simply dispensable.

After receiving Richard's affirmative answer, Fury said: "Then we will arrange agents to pick you up tomorrow to the scene where Thor's Hammer fell in New Mexico." After speaking, he stood up, hesitated a little, and asked again, "So Now can you share your real reason for agreeing to be there so flatly?"

Of course he could see that Richard hadn't agreed to go because of the check - obviously it couldn't be because he, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., had personally come to invite him.Due to the other party's lukewarm attitude towards S.H.I.E.L.D., Fury knew that he didn't have that much face.

Then he must have some other reason.

Richard thought for a while, but didn't answer the question directly: "I just mentioned the owner of Thor's Hammer, Thor of Asgard, do you know his identity?"

Fury tried his best to search his limited knowledge of Norse gods from his brain, and then said: "I know he is the god of thunder or the son of Odin?"

"That's right, and Odin is the king of Asgard, and he is called the 'Father of the Gods' in mythology. So you can imagine what kind of strength he has, so let's say so. If Odin has a whim one day Attacking the earth, there is absolutely no chance of winning with human military power."

Hearing what he said with certainty, Fury couldn't help wondering: "Is it so powerful?"

Fury was thinking just now that Thor's main weapon is just a hammer, so the battle in Asgard must be based on cold weapons?What is there to be afraid of a group of barbaric tribes wielding knives and swords?

If Richard knew what Fury was thinking, he would just sneer.Heh, do you know that there is a man in a red cloak next door who can tear down your mothership with just fists without even using a hammer?

Although Fury didn't know the combat power of the Asgardians, he knew how powerful the transformed Richard was.If Richard told him that Odin could easily sweep the earth's army, then he felt that the credibility should not be low.

"But there's a reason why they didn't go to war with Earth?" Fury said.

Richard nodded: "Yes, not yet and only temporarily."

"How to say?"

"It is said that Thor and Thor's Hammer are inseparable. He never lets his weapon out of his hand for too long. But now that the hammer has been lying in New Mexico for so long and Thor hasn't appeared, what do you think might be the reason? ?”

This situation is easily reminiscent of some oriental swordsmen or warriors who "the sword is in the man, but the sword is dead". Fury also naturally related: "Does this mean that its owner is dead?"

"That's the worst possibility. But if you have some understanding of the situation in Asgard, you can easily guess that it might involve a coup d'état."

"coup?"

Richard nodded: "Yes. The Norse legends on the earth generally believe that Loki, the god of tricks, is Odin's brother, but he is not. Loki is Odin's son and Thor's brother, and has coveted the throne for many years But God King Odin is not optimistic about him, on the contrary, Odin has always wanted to pass the throne to Thor”

Fury understood: "You mean, the hammer fell to Earth probably because of a court conflict in Asgard?"

"Yes, and there is a high probability that Thor himself is also on Earth. Since he has not summoned his hammer back for a long time, it means that something must have happened to him."

Although this is still somewhat different from the facts of the movie, it is not too bad.

"But it has nothing to do with us, does it?" Fury folded his arms.He felt that whether it was a coup d'état or a court struggle, anyway, the role of the people on Earth was to eat melons, and a group of gods couldn't beat them when they fought.

"It was originally like this, but the situation is different now." Richard said, "It would be fine if Thor won in the end and succeeded in taking power, but Loki belongs to the type with more ambitions." If Loki really grabs the throne in the end, if the first thing he does is to lead the Asgardian army to attack the earth at the center of the nine kingdoms, then I will not be surprised at all."

Fury looked a little dignified.

"And even if Loki failed to snatch the throne, Odin's most precious son Thor had an accident and hiccupped on the earth." Richard paused, "Let me just say that, but everything that involves When it comes to his son, the old man is a real grump."

Chapter 69 The boss is going on a business trip

Well, this is actually Richard's intentional scaremongering to make SHIELD realize the seriousness of the matter, but it is not all true.It is true that the old man Odin protects the calf. When Odin made a comeback in the comic book "Origin of Fear", he even dragged people from all over the world to kill him in order to save the life of his precious son Thor. The snake in the atrium was buried with him.

But you think, how could Odin, who is so protective of the calf, really let his precious son be thrown to the earth in such a powerless state?Isn't he afraid that Thor will be involved in some "savage native" conflict, and he will belch directly if he accidentally eats a bullet or something?

Therefore, there is a high probability that Thor seems to have lost his divine power and is in a dangerous situation, but in fact he is still covered by his father. It is not so much that he was demoted to the mortal world to receive punishment, it is better to say that he came to experience the hardships of the people in a private visit. On the way By the way, it's not flattering to captivate the fascination of a beautiful girl in the world.

If you want to talk about evidence, haven't you seen the movie where Thor beats the Destroyer armor of God's Realm to the point where he is almost dying and can fight back?Seeing that Thor was about to die, the hammer immediately flew over by himself. Thor regained his supernatural power and at the same time recovered his blood to replenish his demons, and he was resurrected in full state. Loki tried his best to remotely control the Destroyer. After spending so long on the output, the damage was all for nothing in a blink of an eye, and Loki was so angry that his mentality exploded.

As for if Loki really succeeds in usurping power, it is really possible to bring the Asgardian army to capture the earth, but that possibility is actually not great.In the movie Leodin appears to be comatose and the palace completely under Loki's control, but Richard believes that is not the case.That old guy Odin has a lot of eyes, Loki is so happy to jump, but he doesn't know that all his actions are under the control of his father from the beginning to the end, and he has no possibility of success at all.

So although what Richard said to Fury was correct in terms of pros and cons, it was more deceitful.After all, today’s Marvel is no longer the Marvel of movies. With him as a little butterfly, God knows if the plot will change. For example, Thor really died on the earth or Loki really won the throne. no way.So he had to do his best to exaggerate the seriousness of the matter to Fury and make them take it seriously.

As for his own real reason for wanting to go to New Mexico, well, he just wanted to see the hammer.

"Anyone who can lift this hammer can get the same ability as Thor." Although Thor's Hammer is a very picky and willful hammer, Thor is not the only one who can lift the hammer.In various time and space in various comics, many people have raised the hammer, such as Captain America, Black Widow, physicist Jane Foster, Vision, X-Men's Storm

Oh, by the way, there are also the Big Three of the Justice League in DC next door. Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman all raised Thor's Hammer when they came here to visit.What's interesting is that Wonder Woman raised her hammer when she was fighting against Storm. After thinking about it, she felt that it was not a real skill to win with Meow Meow's hammer, so she threw the hammer away again.

Princess Diana said the hammer could be lifted, but it wasn't necessary.

In short, this is a picky but in fact very casual hammer, commonly known as "thousand people swing"

Considering the conditions of all those who have ever lifted Thor's Hammer, in addition to possessing noble qualities to convince the hammer, possessing certain special powers is also possible to bypass Oxia's spell on the hammer and directly pick up the hammer, for example Vision is just that.There is also Hela in the movie "Thor 3", whose divine power is strong enough to not only ignore the spell and directly grab the hammer, but even crush it with bare hands.

Richard thought that although his current level of power awakening is very low, what he has at the root is Noah's light, a god-level existence in the Ultraman worldview.Although he doesn't know what level Ultraman Noah is in the Marvel system, he feels that no matter how you say it, it is more than one level higher than Odin.

So logically speaking, he felt that the probability of him being able to lift Thor's Hammer was quite high.

Even if Marinate didn't invite him, he still planned to wander around New Mexico to see the hammer.Since you can also make some extra money from the marinated eggs along the way, why not do it?

Richard didn't know how much Nick Fury believed in this flicker. Anyway, the expression on the face of the marinated egg was quite dignified when he left. Those who didn't know thought that the third world war was imminent.In the end, Lu Dan confessed that a special agent would be specially arranged to pick him up tomorrow, and then hurried away without looking back.

That night, after Jessica returned, Richard announced to his two lodgers: "I may have to go on a business trip tomorrow, and I may not be home for a few days."

Jessica subconsciously asked, "Going to Nepal?"

She thought of the "Nepal Travel Guide" that Richard had been flipping through in his office during the day.

"No." Richard shook his head. "To New Mexico."
