Begin from the original form of torture and become immortal

Chapter 1477 Hammer
This small hammer seemed to carry the weight of the entire universe and became a taboo that mortals could not touch.

The hammer's appearance is unpretentious, with no gorgeous decorations nor any ancient runes engraved on it. It just lies there quietly, emitting a faint but not negligible glow.

However, it is this simplicity and ordinariness that arouses people's curiosity and desire deep in their hearts.

The news spread quickly across New Mexico like wildfire, attracting wave after wave of experimenters with dreams and a spirit of challenge.

In Western culture, people always have an almost obsessive belief in objects that seem impossible to move or pull out.

These items are often seen as symbols of some kind of supernatural power or kingly qualities.

The story of King Arthur pulling the Sword in the Stone from the solid stone and being crowned the King of England has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts; and Thor, the God of Thunder, proved his noble status as the God King of Asgard with a hammer that no one could lift.

Today, this mysterious hammer has undoubtedly become the new "Holy Grail" in the eyes of everyone, and everyone dreams of becoming the lucky one chosen.

When Agent Coulson arrived at the scene, the scene he saw was far from desolate.

The place where the hammer fell became a stage for a national carnival.

People came from all directions, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation, as if a feast that would determine their fate was about to take place here.

Street vendors smelled a business opportunity and began pushing their carts, selling a variety of food and beverages, including some magical drinks that claimed to enhance physical strength and stimulate potential.

The aroma of hot dogs and beer intertwined with the noisy sounds around, weaving together a lively picture.

Coulson looked around and saw that everyone, driven by curiosity, took turns trying to prove that they were the one who could lift the hammer.

Some tried their best, their muscles bulging and their faces twisted into expressions of pain and determination; others used machinery, the dragging sound of pickup trucks and the creaking sound of twisting metal came one after another, but without exception they ended in failure.

Even the old man who had been refreshed by a bottle of super-powerful Super Guarana Soda (mixed with highly concentrated gamma-ray-radiated Banner's blood) last time was not spared. When his pickup truck tried to drag the hammer, the entire car body was overturned by the huge force, while the hammer was still firmly embedded in the ground, as if it had merged with the earth, without moving at all.

Dealing with such paranormal incidents requires more than just force or threats.

He quickly organized a team and used the authority and influence of SHIELD to intervene in an efficient and covert manner.

After a negotiation that seemed harsh but was actually clever, the noise in the crowd gradually subsided, and people began to realize the changes that were about to take place here.

Soon, a makeshift research institute rose from the ground in the originally empty wilderness.

The towering fences, strict security measures, and the scientific researchers walking around in white protective suits all reveal the extraordinary atmosphere here.

Inside the institute, there are all kinds of high-tech equipment, from geological analyzers to energy detectors, all designed to uncover the secret behind the hammer.

However, as time went by, instead of solving the mystery of the hammer, scientists became increasingly confused and bewildered. The hammer was so unusually heavy that it far exceeded any known substance on Earth.

First of all, the jaw-dropping and unscientific weight is the first insurmountable hurdle.

Even the most advanced lifting equipment seemed powerless when trying to lift it, as if an invisible force nailed it firmly in place, refusing any mortal touch.

What’s even more surprising is that this force is not static, but subtly adjusts with subtle changes in the surrounding environment, making every attempt like wrestling with an invisible giant, ultimately ending in failure.

What's even more bizarre is that this hammer seems to have its own consciousness, emitting huge amounts of electromagnetic waves all the time. The frequency and intensity of these waves are so complex and changeable that even the most advanced electromagnetic monitoring systems find it difficult to fully capture and record them.

The waveforms of these electromagnetic waves are like a secret language from the depths of the universe, sometimes low and long, sometimes sharp and rapid, as if telling the story of a distant galaxy, or conveying the instructions of some unknown civilization.

Scientists analyzed the data day and night, hoping to find a clue, but what they got was more confusion and puzzlement.

When these shocking news were transmitted to Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., at the speed of light, the dark-skinned boiled egg (although he has no real hair, this nickname is widely known for his iconic bald image) who is known for his calmness could not help but look worried, although there was not a single wrinkle on his face.

This hammer fell from the sky and lay there quietly. No matter how strong a warrior or how well-versed in mechanics a physics doctor is, they cannot shake it at all.

Its existence is like a silent declaration, proclaiming the existence of some power beyond human understanding.

And those electromagnetic waves that are released all the time are more like a silent call to the world, inviting intelligent life forms that can interpret its information to come and visit.

Nick Fury's first reaction was shock, but then deep worry.

On Earth, hammers, as a tool, are usually used for only two most basic purposes: one is to hammer nails to fasten wood or metal tightly together; the other is to use it as a weapon to strike the enemy.

However, no matter which use it is, it cannot explain the strangeness of the hammer in front of him.

It can easily leave crater-like marks on the earth, but no one can lift it, which is obviously beyond any known laws of physics.

Thinking of the electromagnetic waves continuously released by the hammer, a thought flashed through Fury's mind - could this hammer be a carefully disguised alien probe? Once this idea sprouted, it quickly took root in his mind.

After all, a probe that can pass through the atmosphere without being damaged undoubtedly requires a high level of technology and sophisticated craftsmanship that far exceeds the current technological level of the Earth.

With this understanding, Fury began to think about more profound questions: If this hammer is really an alien probe, then what does its arrival mean?
Is it a friendly exchange, or a potential threat?

Is the Earth, the lonely blue planet spinning in the universe, about to reach an important turning point in its history?
