I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

While it can't be described as invincible, it's certainly powerful enough to walk sideways.

This fostered a proud heart in Steve Rogers that wasn't outwardly apparent.

Tony could understand this thought and feeling very well, because he had also been an arrogant person in the past.

His pride diminished considerably after he truly witnessed the vastness of the universe and learned what it meant to have heavens beyond heavens.

It's simple to get Steve to let go of his pride: show him things and power that he can't comprehend.

Just as Harvey had won him over, Tony could have made Steve understand the current state of humanity sooner, so that he could let go of his pride, but Tony was too lazy to do so.

He would be better off spending that time on research.

※※※※※※※

Harvey also discovered that Captain America Steve Rogers had woken up and was confronting Tony.

Although he didn't hear the conversation clearly, he could tell from Tony's slight movement that Steve hadn't made a very good first impression on him.

Although Tony's personality has changed a bit, as long as you approach him in a friendly manner, even if you can't be friends, you won't let things get too tense. At least you can still have a conversation.

Of course, both of them have proud and aloof personalities, so it's impossible for them to be friendly as soon as they meet.

But when Harvey saw this scene, he was reminded of the Winter Soldier.

Tony's style and abilities are completely different now compared to before.

If Tony finds out that Bucky Barnes, the Winter Soldier, killed his parents, it's hard to imagine Tony going berserk.

There's a saying that goes, "Don't advise others to be kind if you haven't experienced their suffering."

So Harvey will just watch. If Tony is willing to spare the Winter Soldier's life, that's Tony's own mercy. If not, he won't try to persuade or stop him.

However, since Captain America has already woken up, it's already close to June 2011.

So, within three months at most, Thor should be arriving on Earth.

This made Harvey thoughtful; he might have to keep a closer eye on things, lest the Destroyer kill his cash cow, Tony.

Tony is very strong and can go toe-to-toe with Loki, but when he encounters the Destroyer in Odin's vault, Tony's combat power is still somewhat lacking.

Harvey immediately went to focus on playing the game.

It would be easy for him to discover that Tony had left, because the sound of thrusters exploding could often be heard from high altitudes.

※※※※※※※

More than half a month has passed, and it's only June, but the sweltering summer has arrived ahead of schedule.

Just as Stark Industries was holding its usual technology exhibition.

That night, in a wilderness of New Mexico, a storm suddenly appeared in the sky.

Apart from two women who followed an old man and witnessed everything that happened.

Tony in New York also received this message through Jarvis's report.

"Jarvis, you said a beam of light descended over New Mexico?"

It was nighttime, so Tony had stopped working for the day and was relaxing with a drink when he suddenly heard the news and immediately stood up.

"Yes, there was nothing wrong with the weather in the New Mexico wilderness, but then a storm suddenly came and a beam of light shot down from the sky."

Jarvis showed satellite footage as he spoke.

"It's finally here! I've been waiting for so long!"

Tony's eyes lit up with excitement after seeing the video.

Less than thirty seconds later, Tony donned his Iron Man suit and set off for New Mexico.

Although New Mexico and New York are not far apart, Tony couldn't find the other person when he arrived.

"Jarvis infiltrated New Mexico and all the surveillance of nearby cities."

"Check the people and vehicles that have entered and exited within the last half hour, and then report back to me immediately."

Tony looked at the strange symbol on the ground but didn't rush to speak.

Once Tony confirmed that the aliens had arrived, he wasn't worried about not being able to find them.

Tony landed on the ground immediately, looking at the symbols and markings, wanting to use the cosmic translator to find out where this alien was.

However, the originally all-powerful cosmic translator failed when faced with these runic markings.

Tony knew he didn't know them, but Harvey was sure he'd settled things.

"Should I go find Harvey? But wouldn't asking for help like this make me seem incompetent?"

"Harvey said I could handle it, which proves the enemy isn't that strong."

However, the thought of Harvey left Tony standing there, lost in thought.

After hesitating for a while, Tony decided not to contact Harvey. Unless he encountered a situation he couldn't handle, it was better to find a solution himself.

Just as Tony was waiting, the sky suddenly brightened, and another beam of light shot down. "Boom!" The earth shook with a deafening sound.

This time, Tony didn't need Jarvis to remind him; he saw it all on his own.

"It seems that there are more than one uninvited guest."

Upon seeing this, Tony quickly flew towards the point where the beam of light would land.

They were only a few kilometers apart, so Tony arrived in no time. However, he didn't see anyone, but he did see a hammer.

"Jarvis, check if there are any living organisms in the vicinity."

Tony hovered a hundred meters away, looking at the hammer. He didn't immediately approach it, but instead asked warily.

"Sir, exclude reptiles such as lizards and scorpions."

"No creatures matching humanoid life forms were found within a 2,000-meter radius."

Jarvis received the instruction and immediately scanned the area with his radar before speaking.

"..."

After hearing "no," Tony slowly approached the hammer, looking at the hammer that could cause a small earthquake when it fell.

Tony hesitated for a moment, then reached out and grasped the hammer handle, lifting it up with ease.

After picking it up, Tony could clearly feel a force flowing from the hammer into his body.

This unknown power terrified Tony so much that he threw the hammer away.

Harvey, who was looking down, showed a hint of surprise in his eyes when he saw this scene.

Chapter 145 Two Ways to Pick Up the Hammer

Harvey remembered that at this time, Thor's hammer had already been cursed by Odin.

Only those who possess a heart full of justice and great love can earn the approval of Thor's hammer and wield it.

Otherwise, one would need overwhelming strength to lift the hammer by brute force, but if one could do that, there would be no need for Thor's hammer.

Although Tony's strength has increased significantly, it is still insufficient in the face of Odin's curse.

Therefore, the only way Tony could have picked it up was through the first method.

Considering Tony's current ideals and vision, which aim to benefit all of humanity and usher Earth into the interstellar age, it seems reasonable for him to wield Thor's hammer.

Tony looked at the power within him, which had not disappeared. He felt a connection to the hammer he had thrown, as if it were his third arm.

"Jarvis, please contact Harvey for me. I don't know what's wrong with my body."

This feeling terrified Tony, who quickly asked Jarvis to ask Harvey for help.

"Yes!"

Jarvis didn't understand what had happened to his husband's body, but seeing how anxious he was, he didn't hesitate to call Harvey immediately.

Harvey answered the phone in less than five seconds.

"Harvey, please check my body quickly and see if there's anything wrong with me."

When Tony saw the call connect, he looked at it like a lifeline and said nervously.

"Don't be so nervous. What you just picked up was Thor's hammer, Thor's weapon."

"When you take it, it will grant you the power of Thor."

"Since you can lift Thor's hammer, then take it back with you first."

Seeing Tony's anxious expression, Harvey first comforted Tony and briefly explained the situation.

"Thor's hammer, isn't that Thor's weapon from mythology?"

Tony paused for a moment when he heard this rather unusual name.

"Ah."

Harvey nodded slightly upon hearing this, confirming Tony's question.

"Is it really the legendary weapon?"

"But why did Thor's hammer suddenly fall down?"

Tony asked, somewhat puzzled.

"This is not the right place to talk. Call back Thor's hammer. I'll come to your manor later to talk to you."

Harvey spoke up upon hearing this.

How do we summon them?

Tony was somewhat confused by Harvey's words.

"You can come and get it if I don't call you."

"Anyway, it won't cause any problems for your body."

Harvey was speechless upon hearing this. He hadn't taken it, so how would he know how to recall it? However, he did suggest another method.

"As long as there are no problems."

Tony was relieved to hear that it wouldn't cause any problems for his body. He quickly flew over, picked up Thor's hammer, and then flew towards Stark Estate.
