Seizing Mjolnir (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

"Dear viewers, we meet again."

The helicopter circled several kilometers away from New York Plaza.

"It's an honor to once again witness the heroic figure of our human champion, Superman, today."

The reporter narrated from inside the helicopter, while the cameraman beside him adjusted the lens accordingly, zooming in for a close-up of the distant figure.

"And across from Superman is a fellow who calls himself the God of Thunder."

The cameraman followed the cue and panned the lens to another figure.

"He dares to challenge our hero! Is this bravery... or ignorance?"

"Now, let us witness together—between these two fighters, who will ultimately claim victory."

"Personally, I stand with our hero, Superman. He is the strongest, and he will surely win!"

"Now, let's watch and see!"

As the reporter wrapped up his opening, the cameraman switched to a wide-angle shot, capturing both figures in the sky.

"Ah!"

At the same time, as Peter's eyes gathered a chilling red glow, Thor could no longer hold back and let out a furious roar.

With Thor's roar, the dark clouds gathering in the sky began to churn violently, as if brewing an unimaginably terrifying power.

Crack!

A thunderclap that shook heaven and earth exploded, and a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket struck Mjolnir in Thor's hand.

Wild thunder and lightning coiled around the silver hammer.

The next moment, Thor pointed Mjolnir without hesitation at the figure across from him.

There was no tentative probing before the fight; Thor immediately unleashed his strongest Thunder God Power.

Determined to crush his opponent with overwhelming force.

But as Mjolnir erupted with a torrent of savage thunder energy, Peter across from him acted just as decisively. The crimson light building in his eyes burst forth in an instant.

Two blazing red beams, as scorching as flames, shot forward with devastating force, meeting the silver lightning head-on.

In the blink of an eye, the two attacks collided without a doubt.

Boom!

The instant the two energies touched, a deafening explosion tore through the air.

Then a powerful shockwave rippled outward, visible to the naked eye, sweeping across the surroundings.

Even the helicopter, still circling miles away, was caught in the blast, rocking like a tiny boat on a raging sea, nearly capsized.

"Quick, get farther away!"

They had thought this distance was safe, but now they wasted no time retreating further.

As the terrifying shockwave spread, the two energies remained locked in a stalemate in the void, refusing to dissipate.

As the saying goes, in a beam clash, the left side always loses.

But now, on the camera feed, it was clear that the red, flame-like energy on the left was overwhelmingly dominant.

The wild silver lightning was steadily shattered by the crimson pillar.

Within mere seconds, the silver lightning could no longer hold.

The blazing red beam consumed the entire sky and, without losing momentum, struck Thor's body in midair.

The immense force hurled Thor several kilometers away.

The impact was so violent that he lost his grip on Mjolnir, which slipped from his hand and plummeted toward the ground.

Thud!

Mjolnir crashed into the earth, blasting a deep pit several meters wide into the hard ground.

"Director, should we...?"

Coulson eyed Mjolnir, which had landed not far from them, a hint of temptation in his voice.

"Everyone else, stay on alert. We're going to take a look."

Nick Fury didn't hesitate. He knew exactly what a hammer like Mjolnir represented.

"Is this... Mjolnir?"

Standing at the edge of the pit, staring at the silver hammer at its center, a strange urge stirred within them.

Captain America slowly walked toward Mjolnir, a look of eager anticipation in his eyes.

"Captain..."

Watching Captain America seem to reach for Mjolnir, Coulson couldn't help but feel a bit worried.

But Nick Fury said in a low voice, "Let him try."

The next moment, without any hesitation, the Captain placed his right hand slowly on the hammer's handle.

Hammer of the Gods (Mjolnir)

Instantly, Mjolnir began to tremble faintly.

"Could it be... he can actually lift it?"

Staring at the scene before them, Nick Fury and the others were stunned with disbelief.

The surrounding song still echoed, but Mjolnir suddenly seemed to answer some call, shooting straight into the sky and vanishing.

"Ahem, I hadn't even used any force yet—it flew off on its own!"

Captain America looked at his empty right hand, a hint of awkwardness on his face.

"Overreaching."

In the sky, watching Thor get sent flying in an instant, Peter's expression remained calm.

If this were after the end of the Avengers, when Thor had fully awakened his Thunder God Power and wielded Stormbreaker, he might have had a sliver of a chance against Peter as he was now.

But this Thor, to Peter, was simply... too weak.

"With this time, I might as well see what's happening over there."

Peter slowly turned, looking toward the direction that had caught his attention. Something there still drew him in, and the feeling was growing stronger.

Yet just as Peter was about to fly over and investigate—

A sharp sound of something cutting through the air came from behind him.

"Can't let it go, huh? Fine, I'll play with you a little longer."

Turning around, Peter watched Thor spinning Mjolnir in his hand, charging at him at supersonic speed. His gaze gradually turned cold.

Valhalla I am coming...

With the stirring background music, the Thunder God seemed to gain a buff, his divine power fully awakened.

His eyes were now filled with silver lightning, and countless arcs of electricity danced across the silver armor on his body.

Behind him, a stretched tail of silver lightning made him look like a meteor streaking across the void.

When he was still a few hundred meters from Peter, he abruptly stopped spinning Mjolnir.

The silver hammer pointed straight ahead, and Thor, at supersonic speed, carrying terrifying momentum and an unstoppable will, crashed directly into Peter in midair.

Facing Thor's rapid charge, Peter still looked relaxed, only raising his hand slowly with a slightly cold gaze.

Bang!

The speeding Thor slammed precisely into Peter's figure.

But the impact, which should have been earth-shattering, showed none of its expected force.

Not only was the sound faint, it was far less impressive than the clash of their energy blasts moments ago.

With just a soft thud, Thor's rushing body was brought to a halt.

"How is this possible?"

Thor, with Peter's single hand gripping his throat, still had lightning flickering in his eyes. Staring at Peter, who held him so easily, his gaze was filled with disbelief.

"No, I refuse to believe you're this strong!"

Intense unwillingness seemed to drive Thor mad. He swung Mjolnir directly at Peter's head with all his might.

But this time, there wasn't even a faint sound. His full-powered strike was again caught by Peter's single hand.

"No, that's my Mjolnir—give it back!"

Even the hammer in his hand was effortlessly taken by Peter.

Whoosh!

Casually tossing Thor's body toward the ground, Peter looked at Mjolnir in his hand with interest.

Boom... boom!

But hearing another loud crash besides Thor's fall, Peter's gaze snapped to the distant explosion, and the coldness in his eyes grew sharper.

His hand gripping Mjolnir slowly began to tighten.
