In a desert in New Mexico, S.H.I.E.L.D. staff had established a temporary research facility. From the sky, it resembled a mysterious symbol, entirely composed of plastic-wrapped white corridors. Agent Coulson, as the highest-ranking agent present, was naturally in charge here. When he looked at Kurohane, impeccably dressed in a suit before him, he felt as if his hairline was receding even further.
"Can you teach me how to use this portal?" Coulson asked, a faint note of desperation in his voice. He remembered the long journey he had taken to get here from Washington. The long drive was fine, but he felt a bit heartbroken about his old car!
"Learning magic depends greatly on talent! If you have talent in this area, people will clamor to teach you. But since you're already this old and haven't met your teacher, you definitely don't have any talent." Kurohane took off his sunglasses and smiled at Coulson, revealing his eight perfect teeth. Under the scorching desert sun, Coulson was almost blinded.
True enough, but this guy is too blunt! Coulson thought, yet he was already accustomed to Kurohane's personality, although he liked to prod at people's sore spots when he spoke, he actually had no ill intentions, he was just lacking in tact.
"Director Nick Fury's meaning is that this hammer that fell from the sky cannot be analyzed with existing scientific methods. You are the only sorcerer he knows and you've also seen alien technology, so he wants you to take a look."
"Understood, take me to see it." Kurohane nodded, then looked up at the hanging basket at the highest point of the temporary research facility, where a dark figure resided. He then pulled Coulson and pointed at the figure above, saying, "The weather is so hot, don't forget to send Clint Barton some iced coffee up there. This isn't a battlefield with fierce gunfire. There's no need for such strenuous work. What if he gets heatstroke? With the medical expenses in the United States, can he afford it?"
"You know Hawkeye?" Coulson scratched his scalp and looked up at Hawkeye sitting in the hanging basket. But he could only make out a dark figure and couldn't see Clint's face at all.
"Natasha told me. They're old acquaintances. How could I recognize... After I saved Tony from the Middle East last time, some people started comparing me to him!" Kurohane smiled, then waved towards Hawkeye. Under the influence of Super Vision, all of Hawkeye's facial expressions were captured. After he confessed the Hydra issue to Natasha, he had already contacted Hawkeye, who said he would make a decision after meeting Kurohane. After all, he had a family, and sometimes decisions made couldn't be too impulsive!
Hawkeye in the hanging basket, the moment Kurohane appeared, all his attention was focused on Kurohane. He felt an extremely dangerous sensation from Kurohane, like seeing an enemy sniper on the battlefield. Especially Kurohane's wide-open gaze, it gave Clint the illusion that his underwear had been removed!
Kurohane and Coulson chatted and laughed all the way to the temporary laboratory. Kurohane merely glanced at the surrounding staff and recognized a large number of Hydra members. For example, the short bald man in glasses sitting in front of the computer, superficially Agent Level 6 Sitwell, was actually a senior Hydra spy, who had far more experience than Kurohane, this rookie. However, after gaining the appreciation of Alexander Pierce, Kurohane's status in Hydra also increased significantly. The two exchanged glances, said nothing, and simply gave a slight nod in greeting.
Coulson led Kurohane to a deep pit, where a silver-white hammer lay. Ever since this thing appeared, countless people had tried to lift it, but no one had succeeded. After S.H.I.E.L.D. took over, they found that the hammer couldn't be moved at all. Three or four high-powered cranes were pulled. Then, they thought of digging the ground beneath the hammer, but discovered that the ground beneath the hammer couldn't be dug. It was as if it had fused with the hammer itself, even impact drills couldn't break the ground beneath it.
The Hammer of Thor, Mjolnir, commonly known as Mjolnir. Thor's lifelong love, loving the hammer more than his own brother, Loki...
The first time Kurohane saw this hammer, he felt a strong magical aura upon it. This magic was completely different from the magic taught by the Ancient One, it wasn't the same system, but the energy essence was similar.
Kurohane was stunned. "This thing is awesome! This is an SS-level weapon in the equipment lottery! The setting that whoever can lift Thor's hammer can gain Thor's power is simply fantastic!"
"That's a hammer that fell from the sky, it has a magical aura... right?" Coulson was about to ask Kurohane's opinion, but Kurohane had already jumped into the pit. He even placed his hand on Mjolnir's handle, apparently preparing to try and lift it.
Although Kurohane is someone who can exchange blows with Abomination, his strength is much greater than an ordinary person's, but not as great as a crane! He's still young and immature. If he wants to try, let him. After all, the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. staff has tried, so he's just one more person! Coulson thought, slightly amused.
Kurohane put his right hand on the handle of Thor's hammer, then easily picked up the hammer and even tossed it around...
Coulson was shocked. "Is this the power of a sorcerer? The hammer couldn't be lifted!"
Kurohane felt the hidden thunder power there, his raised lips were harder to suppress than an AK! He unconsciously lifted the hammer to the sky, and an bucket-thick lightning bolt descended from the sky onto the hammer's head. Kurohane's suit instantly transformed into a set of Asgardian-style armor, and countless small lightning flashes surged around his body. Each lightning strike that hit him added a plate to the armor on Kurohane's body.
Ten seconds later, a magnificent set of chainmail appeared on Kurohane's body. A large red cloak fluttered slightly behind Kurohane, looking incredibly flamboyant!
Coulson and the surrounding S.H.I.E.L.D. members were shocked by Kurohane's sudden transformation. Especially Hawkeye, perched at the highest point, that bucket-thick lightning bolt fell right past him! If it had hit him, his life would be over!
"Agent Coulson, I already know the origin of this hammer." Kurohane said, his voice now deeper, resonating with new power.
