Chapter 168 2099
As Mjolnir raced from the distant horizon, he threw himself into Thor's hands.
A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, and the drunken, dazed vagrant transformed instantly into the Norse god of thunder, clad in magnificent scale armor.
The Destroyer Armor is merely a suit of armor; it is only at its most powerful when it is with its master.
It couldn't withstand Thor's thunderous blow for long; Mjolnir, also forged from Uru steel, easily smashed through it as if it were a piece of glass.
This time, however, it showed no signs of recovery after being repeatedly damaged and rebuilt by Joey's attacks.
Ultimately, this farce was a test that Odin set for his willful son.
Fortunately, after some admonishment, Thor finally came to his senses and understood before causing mass casualties.
This may also be due to the subtle influence of Joey in the past, and the final reminder in the present.
Whatever Odin's original purpose may have been, Joey has now helped him achieve it much better.
"Thank you, Superman."
Having regained Mjolnir's approval, Thor stood in mid-air, triumphantly twirling the handle of his hammer. His current spirited demeanor was a far cry from his previous wandering, drunken state.
Born extraordinary, Thor only experienced a few days of mortal life before he understood a truth that had remained uncomprehended for thousands of years.
A single thought by a deity can affect the life and death of countless ordinary mortals, forcing them to act with extreme caution.
"You've done me a huge favor once again."
It's just that Joey can't free his hands right now, otherwise Thor would even like to give him a warm hug, just like when they parted a thousand years ago.
As Joey was still considering how to properly and safely move the half of the building that had been cut up to a new location, another familiar portal lit up, with blood-red light shimmering inside the golden doors.
"Not again?!"
As soon as the impatient Joey finished speaking, a man and a woman, members of the heir family, emerged from the portal, dressed in blood-red trench coats and white close-fitting hunting suits.
Two more vampire bastards from the Heir's family, some unknown, drew hunting knives and whips from their waists and hurled them at Thor, who was floating in the air.
"Prepare to die, Red Cloak!"
His two proudest, strongest, and hungriest brothers had both suffered greatly in this world, and they kept it a secret.
The master weaver was ordered to open a portal to that edge of the universe. As the youngest twin hunter duo in the family, Brix and Bora, the heirs, were determined to see just who this person in the red cloak was!
"This creature is quite novel!"
Confused, Thor didn't stand still. He raised his hand, gripped his hammer, and unleashed his divine power:
"I don't know when you became my enemies—but there's no reason not to kill dark creatures that come to my door."
Boom!
A thunderclap boomed in the sky, and the two members of the heir family who had just appeared, along with the daggers they had thrown, turned to ashes.
Although he didn't know why they attacked him, Thor saw through their dark and evil nature with just one glance. They usually fed on the souls and pain of normal creatures, and even if they killed nine out of ten, they would still miss two.
Moreover, the opponent dared to directly attack Thor, the heir to the throne of Asgard and the god of thunder. This is no ordinary creature, and we must strike hard!
"They probably came with the idea of 'taking action if they see a red cape'."
Joey, who was supporting the top of the Empire State Building from the side to prevent it from collapsing, immediately understood why the two heirs had attacked Thor the moment they stepped through the portal:
"Then you'll be wearing the same red cape as me, and you'll be even more conspicuous floating in the air."
Whether it was those two grunts who didn't even have a chance to announce their names, or the even more arrogant Moron and Damons, their luck was exceptionally bad.
Other beings in the multiverse are not as easy to bully as the good-natured Spider-Man.
Moreover, they are quite disunited—their family certainly hasn't established any kind of "forever family" group chat or similar kinship group.
If they did, they should at least share what the enemy capable of instantly killing them looks like. I'd love to help you deal with these dark creatures that are bothering you, but unfortunately, we must part ways now.
After instantly killing two members of the Heirs, Thor used Mjolnir to contact Heimdall, the gatekeeper of the Bifrost, and ordered him to open a portal back to Asgard.
He was quite certain that Superman didn't need his help, and the changes in Asgard worried him even more:
"You and I both know we will meet again. Forgive me for having to return to Asgard now to deal with my brother and the mess he's made of."
Thor has pondered, both in the past and present, whether it was because he inquired with Superman and learned of Loki's future rebellion that a thorn had been pricking his heart for millennia, leading to his current predicament.
With the hammer in his hand, Thor's thoughts became clearer. Just as Joey knew much about Thor's future back then, Thor now knows much about Joey's future.
It includes both the good and the bad parts.
Even though their friendship was just beginning for one of them, the two looked into each other's eyes and read the same decision.
Both individuals, living in different times and places, made the same choice: to wisely refrain from asking questions.
A celestial phenomenon resembling the aurora borealis illuminated the New York City skyline, and Thor, who had descended upon Midgard, returned to the realm of the gods once more.
Only Yang Yi and Xing Huo remained, looking at each other's faces, especially Joey:
"You son of a bitch! At least help me disperse the crowd inside the building before you leave!"
No, these two successors appeared too casually. Even if they are not afraid of death, they would not just come here to die meaninglessly.
Thinking of this, Joey turned his head to look east, towards Queens, the location of Peter Parker and the other three Spider-Men from another world's temporary residence.
"+!"
If someone says that finding a safe and reliable place to stand for a building weighing hundreds of tons and the people inside is difficult enough, then they must not have seen the internal structure of the Amozzo Core.
Tony had originally planned to have the relevant technical data and a complete core that Cyborg had provided before the trip.
Understanding its internal workings to achieve replication and mass production shouldn't be a particularly difficult task.
It wasn't until he calmed down and studied it carefully that he realized he had been overly optimistic.
This intelligent machine, capable of self-programming and mimicking any superpower, has already gone through countless iterations. Tony's current observation of the core and the original technical data is like trying to understand the construction principles of a fission nuclear power plant by comparing the blueprints of an industrial steam engine.
Both are essentially boiling water, but you can't expect 18th-century scientists to figure out how to use the Ring-239 to compress water vapor into a cylinder!
"I am limited by the technology of this era..."
Iron Man, muttering to himself, finally understood the state of mind his father had when he said those words.
Fortunately, he wasn't Howard; such a small problem couldn't stump the great Tony Stark.
It's just a tiny technological gap, he'll catch up in a month or two!
wow~
The sealed door to the lab was ripped open by Joey, who barged in and immediately interrupted Tony's brainstorming of the analytical algorithm with a frantic shout:
"Could I use your lab, Tony?"
Tony, frowning, didn't stop analyzing the core: "What are you doing? Is it more important than the Amagzo core?"
"To build a portal, Starfire needs to return to her original universe to recharge her lamp ring, while I, without any weapons, am already fully armed." Joey clenched his fists and loosened his joints:
"I'm going to a new world, the year 2099."
