Chapter 46: Artificial Sun + Nano-Suit = ?
Watching the figure vanish into the void, Peter waited in place for a moment.
"Hmm? She's still not showing up?"
After waiting a while and seeing no one appear before him, Peter felt a bit puzzled.
"Why is it that in novels, the protagonist who transmigrates to the Marvel world gets noticed by her almost instantly, but when it comes to me, she seems to be avoiding me?"
Peter found it strange but didn't keep waiting.
Instead, he gathered the scattered fragments of Mjolnir from the ground and, under the reverent gazes of everyone present, soared into the clouds and departed with effortless grace.
As Peter left, atop a nearby building, a golden spark like welding fire slowly materialized before a figure in a yellow monk's robe.
The spark grew with the wind, rapidly expanding into a yellow portal about two meters in diameter.
The Yellow-robed Monk stepped slowly into the portal, and the faint, peculiar black rune on his brow vanished along with him...
"Finally... is it over?"
Watching Peter's retreating figure signaled that the day's events had come to a temporary end.
But the hearts of those present could not calm down for a long time.
First, there was a Superman who rivaled a God Among Men.
Then today, two beings claiming to be gods appeared.
The God of Thunder was manageable—his strength didn't seem overwhelming, at least humanity's top-tier weapons could threaten him.
But the old man who arrived later was terrifyingly powerful; the aura he exuded seemed capable of instantly crushing the will of ordinary people.
The rapidly changing world left even Nick Fury with a throbbing headache.
"Director, what do we do now?"
Coulson, too, felt his worldview crumbling and could only place his hopes in his director.
"Send people to clean up the battlefield. Notify the Disaster Control Bureau to handle post-disaster reconstruction."
Nick Fury gave the order slowly, then stared into the sky for a long time.
"Also, gather all energy experts from the agency and around the world. Fast-track the second phase of the Tesseract research plan."
"The cosmic war has begun. We don't have much time left..."
Staring into the void, Fury's eyes glimmered like starlight.
"As for him..."
Then Fury turned his gaze to Captain America.
"Just let me find a place to rest for a while. I don't think I can accept a world that's changed this much in such a short time."
Having just woken up and not yet had a chance to truly experience this new world, even the strong-willed Captain America found it hard to bear such a massive shock.
Meanwhile, in Asgard.
A beam of light shot from distant Earth, and the Bifrost slowly ground to a halt.
Two figures suddenly appeared within the Bifrost's mechanism.
Boom!
But right behind them came two red energy beams.
They instantly pierced through the spherical device of the Bifrost.
"Prince Thor..."
Heimdall, seeing Thor carelessly thrown to the ground by Odin, ignored the damaged Bifrost and rushed over to help him up.
"Hmph. Who gave you permission to go to Midgard? Have you forgotten my decree?"
Looking at Thor, Odin's face turned extremely grim as he barely suppressed his rage and berated him.
Everything today had been caused by Thor's unauthorized trip to Midgard.
"Father... my Mjolnir... it's shattered..."
Facing Odin's fury, Thor seemed lost, muttering to himself.
"Hmph. That human was right. You've long forgotten your noble bloodline and the divine blood flowing through your veins!"
Seeing Thor dejected and still grieving over the loss of Mjolnir, Odin's eyes burned with intense frustration.
"Mjolnir was only meant to help you control your power more easily, not to make you some... God of Hammers!"
Recalling that title, even knowing he had indulged it, Odin couldn't help but feel furious.
"Father, I... was he telling the truth?"
Hearing his father's rebuke, Thor's dazed eyes finally regained some light. Remembering what that human had said—that he was the true God of Thunder—a spark of hope ignited in his heart.
"Hmph. As a prince of Asgard, you must face your failure bravely and wash away your shame with your own hands!"
"Not like this, lost and dejected!"
Odin watched Thor, who had finally regained a shred of confidence after being struck down, and his tone softened slightly, though it remained stern as he lectured him.
"But what happened today has made me realize anew that you are not yet ready to lead all of Asgard..."
"All-Father..."
Seeing that Odin seemed to have made a decision, Heimdall, who was supporting Thor, wanted to plead for him.
"Do not plead for him. This is the punishment he deserves."
Odin cut off Heimdall's words before he could speak, pointing Gungnir at Thor as golden divine power surged forth.
The next moment, Thor was blasted away by the divine power, his figure vanishing instantly.
"Now, let him reflect on his mistakes beneath the World Tree."
Having temporarily banished Thor from Asgard, Odin seemed to age even more in that instant.
Heimdall watched Odin walk toward his palace with slow steps, feeling that his aged back no longer stood as tall as before.
"Oh, and once he can fully master his own divine power, take him to Nidavellir and have the Dwarf King forge him a new weapon."
Odin, without turning back, gave the order to Heimdall as he left.
Earth. Peter, having left the battlefield, first went to the place that had drawn him in earlier.
"It really is because of the Artificial Sun!"
Looking at the laboratory, now a pile of rubble completely destroyed by the failed Artificial Sun experiment's explosion, Peter confirmed his guess in his mind.
"Artificial Sun..."
Even though it carried the word "artificial," the energy radiation it emitted seemed capable of enhancing Peter's power just like the real sun.
Though its efficiency naturally couldn't compare to the real thing.
"But if I could keep an Artificial Sun like this by my side at all times, wouldn't I be able to constantly strengthen myself?"
A wildly crazy idea suddenly popped into Peter's mind.
He couldn't carry the real sun around with him, but an Artificial Sun seemed feasible.
"A new combo: the Artificial Sun plus the Nano-Suit..."
"Looks like I'll need to make some special preparations..."
As he thought, Peter's figure vanished into the air, speeding toward the Antarctic laboratory.
Opening the door atop the fortress, "Great! The time for the Nano-Suit to fully cover the body has been reduced to five seconds."
"We finally did it!"
Walking slowly into the lab, Peter heard an ecstatic voice coming from inside.
"Mr. Superman, the Nano-Suit you needed has already been..."
Seeing Peter walk into the lab just in time, Reed said excitedly to him.
"Sorry, but you might have to work overtime and revise the Nano-Suit's design..."
At that moment, Peter instantly turned into a heartless capitalist.
"But by then, you'll probably have two new colleagues..."
