Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 97 Hammer and Arm (Second Update)

Luca, while holding Thor's hammer, was thinking about how to secretly get his hands on it.

But Sol couldn't stand it.

Whether he was worried about his precious hammer or simply felt that Luca was dawdling too much, he simply urged him on.

"Hey kid, are you going to get it up or not?"

As soon as he said this, the other humans who were watching the spectacle immediately gave Luca strange looks.

Tony Stark then laughed and added.

"Little pencil, if you can't lift it, then Uncle Tony will have to do it~"

As he spoke, Tony actually took a few steps forward, clearly having long been curious about Thor's hammer.

But since things had come to this point, Luca couldn't just give up his position, so he decisively stopped him.

"Wait, you guys should get back to your business. I'm just about to get started!"

As he spoke, Luca rolled up his sleeves, revealing his mechanical arm, and struck a pose as if he were putting in force.

However, he naturally understood the wonders of Thor's hammer. Odin, the king of the gods, had long ago cast a spell on it, and only those who were qualified could lift it and obtain the power of Thor.

Luca doesn't believe he has Captain America's noble qualities, so he naturally wants to take a different approach and do some crooked things.

Luca remembered that in his previous life, people had discussed that although Thor's hammer was something that unqualified people could not lift, it could still move up and down as easily as an elevator, a machine without any thought, without damaging it.

'The tuxedo was meant to stimulate my muscles to move on their own, but I doubt it's very effective.'

'But if I weren't the one lifting Thor's hammer, and the mechanical arm just moved on its own, wouldn't it be able to lift it?'

Do it when you think of it.

Luca braced his elbow against the table for leverage, his whole body relaxed, except for his right mechanical arm, which gripped Thor's hammer handle tightly, in a posture similar to an arm wrestling match.

He then immediately activated [Sweet Captive]'s healing ability.

It's important to know that when the healing ability is activated, the transmission joints inside this robotic arm will move uncontrollably on their own.

Immediately, a faint clicking sound came from Luca's arm.

At this moment, everyone focused their attention on Luca's movements.

The next moment, sure enough, Thor's hammer trembled slightly as if it had been pushed.

However, before Luca could even show a look of surprise on his face...

Thor's hammer, which was originally as light as a feather, suddenly became as immovable as a mountain.

Luca suddenly felt a weight on his hand.

Then came a 'click'!
The robotic arm failed to move the hammer; instead, due to the reaction force of the transmission rod, it instantly embedded itself into the tabletop.

The entire glass coffee table shattered instantly.

Glass shards scattered across the floor with a crackling sound. Luca stumbled and fell, and Haro followed suit.

However, Thor's hammer, which was originally placed on the table, did not fall to the ground. Instead, it floated in the air and shook its handle on its own.

It was as if they were mocking Luca's overestimation of his abilities.

It was only at this moment that Luca realized what was happening.

'Yes, although it's a hammer, Mjolnir actually has its own consciousness. Even if it manages to bypass the first detection, the hammer itself can easily refuse to be picked up by me.'

What Luca didn't know was that he had just witnessed Luca making his precious hammer tremble slightly.

Thor's heart pounded with tension, and cold sweat broke out on his back. Fortunately, Mjolnir pulled through in the end, preventing him from losing face.

Thor reached out and pulled Mjolnir back into his hand, then grinned at Luca.

"How about it, kid? Want to try again?"

However, Luca did not immediately answer Thor's question. Instead, looking at the broken glass on the ground, he politely addressed Tony, who was watching the scene unfold.

"Excuse me, Mr. Stark, your desk..."

He was only halfway through his sentence when Tony Stark interrupted him, waving his hand dismissively.

"Don't worry about that. But..."

"Luca, kid, where's the arm I gave you?"

As he spoke, Tony's gaze remained fixed on Lucan's still-trembling mechanical arm, a strange expression on his face.

Although the arm given to Luca at the time did not utilize any particularly advanced technology.

However, considering that young Luca might be more concerned about his appearance, Tony put a lot of effort into making the robotic arm indistinguishable from a real arm.

Who would have thought that instead of using his own realistic arm, this guy somehow got hold of a brand new robotic arm.

'Hmm, although it doesn't look as good as the one I made, it's not too bad either.'

'Why did they add so many fancy features? And it even glows green? Does this kid have some kind of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) disorder?'

At this point, Tony's mind had already drifted to the aesthetics of young people.

Gwen, on the other hand, blushed and turned her head away when she saw Luca's mechanical arm shaking back and forth.

Upon hearing this, Luca's face showed a hint of embarrassment.

'Arm. Isn't that it?'

The mechanical arm Tony gave him had long been used by Luca as material for [Sweet Captive], so it was naturally impossible for him to take it out now.

I could only come up with a random reason.

"The arm Mr. Stark gave me is very useful. However, I was very curious about the structure of the arm, so I disassembled it completely according to the information you gave me, and then made some minor modifications to remake this new arm."

Upon hearing this, not only Tony but also Dr. Banner, who was standing nearby, cast curious glances at him.

Tony had mentioned to him before that this boy named Luca seemed to be a promising talent.

However, to be able to create such an exquisite robotic arm at such a young age is not only an achievement in mechanical engineering, but also suggests a considerable understanding of neuroscience and electronic information technology.

At this moment, Luca also noticed the curious look in Dr. Banner's eyes.

Fearing he would continue to press her about the robotic arm, she decisively changed the subject and spoke to Thor.

"Mr. Thor, could I try your hammer one more time?"

As soon as Luca said that, everyone's attention was drawn back to the hammer.

However, at this point, Thor was already somewhat reluctant to let the kid try again, in case he actually managed to pick it up.
However, out of pride, he had no choice but to pretend to be indifferent, casually putting the hammer back on the ground and turning to Tony and the others.

"Feel free to try it. If you'd like, you can give it a try too."

However, as soon as he said this, a sly glint flashed in Luca's eyes.

He immediately gave the order to Harlow, who had been 'playing dead' since entering the room.

"Hello, why don't you give it a try?"
