Whiplash Calls
Loki came to see Thor once. Loki's magic is very deceptive. If Xia Yu hadn't known he was coming back and hadn't paid special attention to Thor, it would have been difficult to detect Loki's arrival with the naked eye.
It's not complete invisibility, but it makes you subconsciously ignore that person—it's a magical phenomenon.
Just like in the movie, Loki tells Thor that Odin is dead because of Thor's unauthorized actions and the threat of war from the Frost Giants.
Their mother, the goddess Frigga, chose to banish Thor to Earth permanently. Thor, deceived and utterly Jane Foster, went back to beg his father to rescue Thor.
I don't know what she was thinking, she was so naive to bring fake documents to rescue Thor, little did she know that not only did they know her documents were fake, but most of the residents of the town had gradually been replaced by S.H.I.E.L.D.. agents.
After giving Thor a chance to escape, Thor accepted his mortal identity and began a shameless life with Jane Foster, even learning to make breakfast for them.
Xia Yu, who was secretly monitoring Coulson, said, "See? This is life. It can make your hairline recede, and it can also make a proud god bow down to make breakfast."
If Coulson weren't outmatched by Xia Yu, he would have genuinely wanted to beat Xia Yu up. You can criticize others, but why bring up his hairline?
Finally, after watching Thor flaunt his affection for over a week, Xia Yu received a call from Natasha. Justin Hammer would be showcasing his drone mechs and weapons at the Stark Expo that evening.
Xia Yu randomly picked a place to take off. The only advantage of being able to fly was that it saved on airfare. Wait, shouldn't S. H. I. E. L. D. have to pay for the S.H.I.E.L.D.?
We went to Tony's house first, heading straight into the basement.
Um... the scene was a bit cringe-worthy.
Because Tony Stark, the mighty Iron Man, is practicing yoga naked—well, Simplified Yijin Jing).
"Tony, do you think practicing like this can help you find that sense of oneness with nature?" Xia Yu leaned against the table by the entrance, smiling as he looked at Tony.
Tony Stark was startled, but upon seeing that it was Xia Yu, he nonchalantly resumed his actions.
"Xia, why are you back? Did your blind date with Hammer end? How's Hammer's physique? Is his chest big?" Tony Stark asked while practicing his martial arts.
"The hammer's story is complicated. It belongs to Thor, yes, the one from Norse Mythology. His father, All-Father Odin, stripped him of his divine power and threw him to Earth," Xia Yu explained simply.
"Are there really gods in Norse Mythology?" Tony asked, something anyone would be curious about.
"I'll talk to you about this in a bit. First, tell me why you practice like this. Do you think you're sexy?" Xia Yu said with a smile.
Tony complained, "It's all because of these few exercises you taught me. Practicing them every now and then helps cleanse my body of impurities from my pores, which is more convenient for me."
"Then please stop practicing. I can expel you from our Sun Moon Divine Cult." Xia Yu circled Tony Stark, preparing to take out his phone.
Seeing Xia Yu's movements, Tony quickly put on his clothes, saying to Xia Yu as he dressed, "This won't do. Although I'm not as strong as you, I can still deliver hundreds of pounds of force with a single punch now, and haven't you noticed I look younger? Enough about me, tell me about that Thor thing."
Xia Yu didn't hide anything and recounted how he picked up the hammer and what happened with Thor and Odin.
Tony Stark scoffed, "What garbage, this 'kingdom of gods'? Their social system and institutions haven't changed in thousands of years. Even the power within their bodies is something they're born with, their ceiling predetermined from birth. Such a race is destined to decline with each generation. They can only fool primitive people by calling themselves gods."
"I think so too, but the power of the All-Father is indeed formidable. I'd like to find an opportunity to go to Asgard and take a look. Also, Tony, they are Earth's natural allies," Xia Yu said.
Tony got up and poured two glasses of juice, then said to Xia Yu, "I was just venting. Actually, I'm quite interested in this primitive form of monarchical society. If I were their king, I would enact a 'first night law,' where the king would have all the brides' first nights."
"That's so Iron Man," Xia Yu laughed and scolded. "You've ruined quite a few girls in your life, Tony. 'First Night Method,' I really don't know how you came up with that idea. By the way, there's a Justin Hammer weapons exhibition today, at your Stark Expo. Aren't you going to check it out?"
"That Justin Hammer guy's weapons aren't anything special, believe me, brother. The Missiles I made with my ass are better than his. The military sent Rhodey to cheer him on, wearing the Armor I gave him, but I can't be bothered to see his arrogant attitude."
JARVIS: "Sir, there's a phone call coming in."
"Put her in, JARVIS, Pepper, is that you? I'm not planning on going today..." Tony was interrupted halfway through his sentence because it wasn't Pepper Potts on the other end of the phone.
"Hey Tony, how are you? I've doubled the speed." It was Ivan Vanko's voice, Whiplash.
"What did you say?" Tony said, then muted the phone and let JARVIS trace the call's origin.
"You told me to increase the rotation speed to generate more energy output, great suggestion." Whiplash's deep voice came through.
"You dead man, you sound pretty energetic," Tony said, stalling for time.
"You too. The history of the Stark Family will be rewritten. What your father did to my family forty years ago, I will do to you in forty minutes." Whiplash's tone sounded arrogant, and Xia Yu knew he had completed his armor.
"I hope you're prepared," Whiplash said before hanging up the phone.
JARVIS only tracked them down to Manhattan, New York.
"Justin Hammer," Xia Yu and Tony said simultaneously.
"Damn it, I just flew from the southernmost part of the United States to the West Coast, and now I have to go to the East Coast," Xia Yu complained, realizing he had genuinely overlooked the location.
Tony took out a tiny metal piece and handed it to Xia Yu, saying, "Miniature earphones. Put them in your ears, and they'll automatically attach. Let's go, there's no time."
The system mission and Tony's words sounded almost simultaneously, "System mission: Eliminate the complete Whiplash Ivan Vanko. Mission reward: 15,000 Points, one system lottery draw."
