"In other words, being able to lift the hammer grants you the power of Thor."

"What?" Coulson quickly looked at it as well. "Why would such words be engraved on Thor's personal weapon? Isn't Odin just inviting everyone to steal his son's things?"

"Who knows?" Bai Ye shrugged and said, "Perhaps Odin has developed Alzheimer's?"

Anyway, Bai Ye remembered that when Odin planned to banish his son Thor to Earth, he whispered to Mjolnir, "Whoever can lift the hammer, if he is worthy of the task, give him the power of Thor."

So here's the question: what would happen if you put Thor's hammer on an elevator?

"Alzheimer's disease..."

Coulson and Jane looked at Bai Ye speechlessly.

If Odin, the king of the gods, really existed, how could he possibly suffer from something like Alzheimer's disease?

Seeing the disbelieving looks on Coulson and Jane's faces, Bai Ye couldn't help but shake his head—alas, such is the wisdom of mortals. Odin really can suffer from Alzheimer's; it's only a matter of time.

Selvig said, "Perhaps Odin wanted to keep his son alert and ready to face challenges, rather than grooming him into a lazy and useless person."

Daisy: "Then what if Thor accidentally dies because of this? That would be a huge problem."

"..."

Coulson: "Mr. White Night, you said that the inscription here states that lifting Thor's hammer will grant one the power of Thor. So, what kind of person can lift this hammer?"

Bai Ye thought for a moment and said, "It's probably someone with noble character, a pure spirit, fearless courage, great love for humanity, and a willingness to dedicate themselves and make sacrifices—in short, someone with a childlike heart..."

Coulson was completely bewildered.

Is it really possible for someone to possess a completely righteous and kind heart without any dark side?

By this standard, perhaps no one on Earth could lift Thor's hammer.

A childlike heart is probably something that only exists in fantasy, like in movies!

Even Coulson's idol, Captain America Rogers, couldn't guarantee that the Captain would fully embody this kind of character.

"Yes, I feel that these qualities are tailor-made for me, so if I give it a try, I might be able to lift Thor's hammer."

Bai Ye continued.

Coulson: "..."

He glanced at it sideways.

If even you can be considered to have a pure heart, then every single one of our S.H.I.E.L.D. agents can be! Even the director might be.

If we change the standard for lifting Thor's hammer to the scum and shameless people in this world, then you would definitely have been among them, right?

Bai Ye stared at Coulson: "What kind of look is that? I feel like you're offending me!"

Coulson sighed, "Who do you think you are? Don't you have any self-awareness?"

Bai Ye: "Alright, let me ask you this: you've definitely tried to lift Thor's hammer, right? Did you manage to lift it? No, right? Don't assume others are like you just because your own morals are questionable! We're not the same!"

Coulson was speechless.

Because he had actually tried to lift Thor's hammer, but couldn't at all, so according to Bai Ye...

“Mr. White Night, let’s change the subject,” Coulson said. “You said Thor is currently on Earth. Could you provide some relevant information to help us search for him?”

Bai Ye said, "I don't know, I've never dealt with Thor."

Jane hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

She suspected that the blond man she had bumped into earlier might actually be Thor.

Because that guy kept shouting in the hospital that he was Thor, the God of Thunder, and the son of Odin.

but……

If he really is Thor, how could he be knocked unconscious by a stun baton?

Out of caution, Jane decided to remain silent.

Because dealing with a violent organization like S.H.I.E.L.D., doing the right thing might not bring any credit, but doing the wrong thing could lead to very bad things.

I do not seek to achieve nothing, but only to avoid making mistakes.

As an agent, Coulson was adept at reading people and noticed that Jane's expression was different, but he seemed to have misunderstood something:

"Mr. White Night, Miss Foster, may I invite you to join me at the camp to study Thor's hammer?"

"Invite us? Why?"

“Mr. Bai Ye, you have some knowledge of the occult that is not widely known, and Miss Foster is a very capable scientist. So if you join our research, it may be of great help in solving this problem.”

"Coulson said."

Moreover, Coulson knew that Selvig was a leading scientist in the field of gamma rays, and that S.H.I.E.L.D. was looking to collaborate with him, so he could try to make contact with him now.

"Miss Foster, please rest assured, with Mr. White Night here, we cannot restrict your personal freedom."

……

Asgard, Odin's Treasury.

Loki stood before the Frost Giants' most prized possession, the Casket of Ice.

He hesitated slightly.

But in the end, she still reached out her hand.

He picked up the box of ice.

"lay down--!"

Suddenly, a sharp shout rang out from behind Loki.

He didn't need to turn his head; it was a familiar voice—of course, it was his father, Odin, the king of the gods.

Loki stared in disbelief at his arm, which had turned ice-blue from touching the Ice Box.

Am I cursed?

"No!"

Loki gradually lowered the Ice Box:

"So who exactly am I?"

Odin: "You are my son!"

Loki turned around, his entire body transformed into the shape of a frost giant from touching the Ice Box:

"What else?"

He walked toward Odin:

"The Box of Ice, wasn't that the only thing you took from Jotunheim that day?"

Odin remained silent for a long time:

"No! After the war, I went into the temple of Jotunheim and found an infant, a descendant of the frost giants, abandoned, suffering, and left to fend for himself. He was Laufey's son..."

"Loufi's son?"

Loki was filled with a sense of absurdity. Since childhood, he had always believed his father that one of him and his brother Thor would one day inherit his throne.

He looked at his brother with anticipation, eager to compete with him, to vie for the high ground with Thor. The throne wasn't important; what mattered was that Loki knew he and his brother were equally valued by their father Odin, that they were equals. Loki had actually been pursuing this for a long time—equality between himself and his brother Thor, equality in their father's treatment of both brothers, rather than favoritism towards Thor.

But Loki was wrong. Odin never intended for Loki to inherit the throne; he was never qualified. Odin had always favored Thor. This left a deep scar on Loki's heart. He knew he would always be his brother's shadow, never receiving his father's favor, or even the same love as his brother. Odin's constant bias towards Thor led Loki to become corrupted.

However, he originally only wanted to prank his brother, to deprive him of the right to inherit the throne, and to make him like himself, unable to inherit the throne and not valued by their father. He wanted equality.

Now he discovers that he is not Odin's child at all, so Odin has never had any reason to acknowledge him or treat him as an equal to Thor.

Odin: "That's right."

Loki was at a loss, and then angrily questioned:

"Why? You've killed countless frost giants, why are you taking me with you?"

Odin: "You are just an innocent child,"

Loki couldn't believe that Odin, who had fought his way to become the ruler of the Nine Realms, would be such a soft-hearted person.

"No, you took me away for another reason. What is it?"

"tell me!!"

Odin looked at Loki: "I hope that one day, Asgard and Jotunheim will unite and form an alliance, bringing lasting peace, through you."

"what?"

Odin: "But all of that is irrelevant now."

"So, I'm just yet another stolen souvenir?" Loki sneered, "Trapped in Asgard, waiting for the day I'll be put to use?"

Odin exclaimed in exasperation, "Why are you misinterpreting my meaning?"

In truth, Odin loved both Loki and Thor equally. Because he wanted to train Thor to become the king of Asgard, he favored Thor. But in Odin's heart, Loki and Thor were always the same. His mistake was simply carrying out that plan from back then. Although Odin did not prepare the position of god-king for Loki, he did prepare the throne of Jotunheim, which was equal to the position of god-king. In Odin's heart, the two brothers were always equal.

"You could have told me my identity from the beginning, why didn't you?"

“You are my son! I just want to protect you from the truth.”

"What? Because I'm the monster that parents use to scare their children before bedtime?"

"no……"

Odin felt dizzy and collapsed weakly to the ground.

—Odin's lifespan is nearing its limit. In fact, as Odin entered his later years, he needed to enter Odin's Sleep periodically to prolong his life.

"Now everything makes sense. Why have you favored Thor all these years..." Loki's face contorted with rage: "Because no matter how much you say you love me, you will never let the Frost Giant ascend the throne of Asgard!"

Loki, however, saw that Odin was already lying on the steps, unconscious.

He panicked too:

"Guards, guards, hurry, help me!"
