He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 165 The Scholar Saul (Second Update)

"You mean this was all Loki's conspiracy?"

After hearing Li Chuan's brief analysis of the situation, Thor stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Although his younger brother liked to lie and use the illusion magic he learned from his mother to trick others, he probably wouldn't do something like this.

"Why did the Frost Giants choose to steal from the treasury when you were enthroned? Without someone familiar with them, how did they manage to sneak from Jotunheim into Asgard without Heimdall's notice?"

And think about it, with Odin's power, would he die so easily? You must know how much your mother loves you, how could she agree to keep you in exile?

Who ultimately benefits from all of this? It's your brother Loki, who ascended the throne that was rightfully yours, and all of this was told to you by Loki, so there's no way to verify it.

Think about it carefully. Given your brother's personality, is he capable of doing something like this?

Li Chuan's string of words completely stunned Thor, leaving him speechless and dumbfounded.

It took him a while to finally react, and he slammed his fist on the table angrily, saying:

"Damn Loki! If he did all this, I'm going to give him a good kick in the ass when I get back!"

"You really love your brother."

Upon hearing this, Li Chuan immediately rubbed his forehead.

For an ordinary person, if their younger brother plots against them and rebels, they would be imprisoned for life, even if they weren't killed outright. But for Thor, it was just a kick in the butt.

"What do we do now? If I can't get Thor's hammer back, I won't be able to return to Asgard."

Recalling how he had tried for a whole day and night to pull out Thor's hammer, Thor immediately slumped down again.

Without Thor's hammer and divine power, he was just a stronger mortal, no match for Loki.

Li Chuan tapped the table with his hand, thought for a moment, and replied:

"Based on my observation just now, your Mjolnir should be enchanted with a very powerful spell, but I am not strong enough to break it. However, I suspect that you need to make some changes."

"Me? What do I need to change?"

Thor was completely bewildered.

Li Chuan raised his finger and pointed at Thor:

"You need to recognize your mistakes."

"I already know I was wrong. I knew it when Loki came to me last night. Although he was lying to me, I understand that I was impulsive when I went to Jotunheim."

Saul gulped down the beer in his hand.

Seeing this, Li Chuan shook his head:

"No, you just feel that you acted impulsively, but you don't think there's anything wrong with starting a war with the Frost Giants. You still think about solving everything with violence, and that's the problem."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Li San next to him, and Li San nodded and handed him the books that he had bought at a nearby bookstore as requested.

"War and Peace, Les Misérables, A Farewell to Arms, Doctor Zhivago, and The Last War."

"What are you going to do with these?"

Thor looked at the books piled on the table, a look of confusion in his eyes.

Li Chuan smiled:

"Of course you should read them. You should start reading these books carefully from now on. If you can understand them, you will realize the cruelty of war and the meaning of peace."

That way, you might be able to lift Thor's hammer again and regain the power of Thor!

He's neither a philosopher nor a confidante who can make Saul realize the truth, but that's okay. There are many world-famous works that depict the cruelty of war, and I believe Saul will be changed after reading them.

The next morning, at the giant pit, fifty miles from Old Bridge.

"How did your reading go yesterday?"

Standing before Thor's hammer, Li Chuan asked Thor a question.

"Every general who drives history forward is nothing more than a slave to history."

Thor stood there, his expression somewhat solemn:

"I finished reading 'War and Peace' and 'Les Misérables' yesterday. I feel that my soul has been cleansed and many of my thoughts have changed."

Father is right, I do indeed have many shortcomings.

"Great, try picking it up!"

When Li Chuan heard Sol say that, his eyes lit up. He felt that there might be a chance.

Thor nodded, placed his hand on Mjolnir, and began to exert force:

"Mjørnir!"

With a roar from Thor, Mjolnir began to sway slowly, as if Thor might pick it up at any moment.

However, one minute, two minutes, three minutes passed, and Thor's hammer only wobbled. No matter how hard Thor tried or how much he roared, he still couldn't lift it completely.

"Why? Why did this happen?"

Thor released Mjolnir, squatted on the ground, and started drawing circles with a look of utter despair.

Li Chuan frowned as he looked at Thor's hammer, then patted Thor on the shoulder:

"There was no movement before, but now at least there's been some movement, which means it's working. Maybe you haven't read enough books. After all, you've only been reading for one day, and you've only read two books."

"Really, it's because I'm not well-educated, you're not lying to me, are you?"

Thor's face lit up with hope again; Mjolnir had indeed moved just now.

"It's because I haven't read enough. If I read a few more books, especially philosophical ones that reflect on life, I should be able to pick them up sooner or later."

Li Chuan nodded in affirmation.

Thor immediately turned around:

"Okay, I'll go back to my studies now!"

"Wait, I have another method you can try first. If it doesn't work, then you can go back to school."

Perhaps if Thor went back to read for ten or fifteen days, he might actually have a change of heart and summon Mjolnir again, but it would be too late, because the Destroyer would probably be coming soon.

"What method?"

Thor turned back.

Li Chuan took out the Elder Wand and chanted a spell at Thor:

"The soul leaves the body!"

A beam of magic struck Thor, and a look of happiness immediately appeared on Thor's face.

"From this moment on, you will have an intense hatred for war, you will yearn for peace, you will yearn for peace from the bottom of your heart, your heart will be filled with a sense of justice, you will protect the weak, even at the cost of your own life, you are a truly compassionate god."

Li Chuan launched into a mental discourse on Thor, who immediately nodded in agreement:

"Yes, that's who I am, and that's what I have to be!"

"Alright, now go get your Thor's hammer."

Li Chuan gave the order to Sol.

Thor walked to Mjolnir, slowly reached out and grabbed the handle, then pulled hard, and the hammer was actually lifted off the ground.

"I didn't expect it to actually work!"

When Li Chuan saw Thor pick up Mjolnir, his eyes lit up.

However, the next second, a powerful burst of lightning suddenly erupted from Thor's hammer, knocking Thor unconscious and causing him to fall to the ground in the same spot as before.

"Okay, it seems this method won't work."
