"I've already spoken to the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme and Guardian of Earth, about this matter. But now that you've gained the approval of Mjolnir, could you please keep an eye on Thor for me and help him complete his trials?" Seeing that Clark had suddenly fallen silent, All-Father Odin, didn't hesitate and asked with a hint of pleading in his voice.

"Keep an eye on him?" Clark was taken aback. He was somewhat unaccustomed to the pleading tone in All-Father Odin's voice. Clark had never dealt with All-Father Odin before, but Clark had seen All-Father Odin use a phantom to fight Gabriel.

At that time Gabriel, All-Father Odin was the true All-Father, displaying extreme power. Heaven and Angel meant nothing Central City him, and he dealt with Gabriel without hesitation.

But right now, Clark didn't sense All-Father Odin presence. All-Father Odin seemed more like a loving father hoping his child would succeed, and even, in Clark's perception, All-Father Odin exuded a certain humility...

This undoubtedly made Clark somewhat uncomfortable, because none of the father figures Clark had encountered were like this. Neither Jonathan, Jor-El, nor Kara's adoptive father had such expectations. Perhaps this was because Thor, the Son of Odin, All-Father truly disappointed All-Father Odin?

"Has he already arrived on Earth? I'll take care of him. Is this hammer just lying on the ground, waiting for him to find it?" Clark asked, looking at Mjolnir in his hand after regaining his senses.

For Clark, Mjolnir could only be described as "not bad," especially since Clark previously mistakenly believed it was Mjolnir of luck.

Now that he knows Mjolnir is an Asgard artifact, Clark naturally has no intention of possessing it. Of course, if Clark truly intended to, Mjolnir probably wouldn't have recognized his power...

"There's no need to put it in a special place. Although that was my original plan, let's leave Mjolnir with you for now. Let Thor train on Earth first, and then let him go find you to retrieve Mjolnir ..." All-Father Odin, said with a hint of gratitude in his voice.

"When Thor passes the test and returns to Asgard, you can come with him to tour Asgard. I have a treasure vault filled with many treasures from the Nine Realms; you might like it..."

"We'll see. From your description, it seems Thor won't have an easy time passing the test. What does he look like?" Clark shook his head. He didn't believe a person's character could be drastically changed, especially since All-Father Odin seemed willing to subject Thor to trials, yet unwilling to truly let Thor suffer hardship and torment...

"I did something a little trick. Thor didn't come with his hammer. He hasn't arrived on Earth yet..." All-Father Odin's voice was tinged with embarrassment. However, Thor would still need Clark's help to look after him, so he couldn't hide it from Clark. Fortunately, he had already told the Ancient One about it, so it wouldn't be a big problem if one more person knew.

"..." Upon hearing All-Father Odin's words, Clark felt even more strongly that Thor had no chance of achieving any change. In Clark's eyes, this was probably just a prince's adventure, meant to gain wider recognition for his princely status, rather than a true trial.

"Can your plan really give him valuable experience?" Clark hadn't planned to ask, as it seemed like meddling, but All-Father Odin's tone had touched Clark, so Clark finally decided to ask.

"He will indeed undergo trials after arriving on Earth. All I can do is keep it from him and protect his life..." All-Father Odin, sensed the goodwill in Clark's words. He sighed helplessly and said softly, "I can only say that I haven't raised my child well. In these past thousand years, he hasn't truly grown up!"

Clark: ∑( ̄□ ̄*|||A child over a thousand years old?!!

"Let's stick to your plan for now. If there's an opportunity, I'll help him hone his skills!" Clark shook his head in the end, not wanting to take on too much, but Clark would still lend a hand if the chance came.

"Thank you very much, Kryptonian. You will gain Asgard's Eternity friendship!" All-Father Odin, said to Clark with some solemnity.

"Clark?" Just as Clark nodded, Lana's voice rang in his ears. Mjolnir was originally destined for New Mexico, while Clark and Lana were previously in Kansas. It was roughly two states apart, but actually not that far, especially since Clark had intercepted Mjolnir beforehand...

At Clark's speed, such a short distance was nothing more than a blink of an eye; even Lana would have arrived in just a few words.

"What's this? A hammer? Why are you carrying a hammer?" Lana asked, looking at Mjolnir in Clark's hand with some confusion.

The shape of Mjolnir in Clark's hand was somewhat different from that of a normal tool hammer, so Lana was a little confused about where Mjolnir came from and why Clark was holding a hammer and hovering in mid-air.

"Let's go back first!" Clark glanced at Mjolnir in his hand, then at Lana. He was eager to try it out, but worried that Lana might not be able to hold the hammer and would be thrown off the ground by it.

"Oh..." Lana gave Clark a strange look, then quickly followed Clark back to the Kent Farm, where Robet had just returned.

"Can't you just finish the last semester's courses?" Clark said irritably when he saw Robet. "Don't end up not even getting your diploma!"

"Don't worry, it's all thanks to you. Selene has already taken care of all this for me..." Robet smiled and shrugged at Clark, saying softly, "Besides, there's no point in going. We're not going to school anymore, what's the point?"

"Of course, if you insist, I'm not against it. It seems Tony can help with college admissions, but it's really unnecessary. It would just be a waste of time. You're not working and are helping out on the farm, so I certainly won't go to work either..."

"Maybe I'll have to go to work soon..." Clark retorted upon hearing Robet's words.

"Hmm?" Robet and Lana both looked at Clark. A hint of doubt flashed in Lana's eyes, while Robet gave Clark a deep look, which instantly brought Clark to his senses.

"No, I was just saying maybe..." Clark quickly waved his hand and explained softly, "I mainly wanted to refute Robet."

"What's that in your hand? A hammer? It seems to contain a lot of power..." Robet shook his head, looking at Mjolnir in Clark's Clark, and asked to change the subject.

"A divine artifact! This is a divine artifact from Norse mythology. Have you heard of Thor? This is his weapon!" Clark glanced gratefully at Robet, then swung Mjolnir in his hand and said with a smile.

"Norse mythology?" Robet raised an eyebrow. He was undoubtedly more familiar with Greece mythology. As for Norse mythology, the last time he heard about it was when Clark heard that Gabriel was beaten up by Zeus All-Father All-Father Odin Inter-dimensional Space. As for Thor, Robet said he had heard of the Thunder God, but he really didn't know who Thor was.

"Mjolnir? Don't tell me this is Mjolnir..." Lana, who was standing to the side, knew about Mjolnir and Thor. She raised her eyebrows and looked at the Mjolnir in Clark's hand.

"What? You don't believe me?" Clark put Thor's Mjolnir on the ground, pointed at Mjolnir, and said with a smile, "Then try it. Can you lift Mjolnir?"

"Hmm? Even if Mjolnir is heavy, it shouldn't be too heavy for me to lift, right? I could lift a whole building..." Lana thought Clark was probably just kidding her. How could something as simple as Mjolnir be too difficult for her?

"Why don't you try and see?" Clark said with a slight smile, looking at Lana.

"Hmph!" Lana snorted defiantly and reached for Mjolnir. To avoid letting Clark see that she was using a lot of force, Lana didn't use her strength at first. But when she tried to use her strength for the first time Mjolnir didn't budge, Lana knew that this Mjolnir was indeed not as simple as it seemed!

"Crack! Crack!" Lana grabbed Mjolnir's hammer with both hands, while her feet stomped hard on the ground, cracking the earth. Mjolnir remained motionless, as if it were welded to the earth.

"I refuse to believe it!" Seeing this, Lana took a deep breath, somewhat unconvinced, and pushed off with both feet, preparing to fly up with Mjolnir.

With a loud "bang," the ground around Lana instantly collapsed, but Mjolnir still didn't fly up with Lana. Lana's body remained frozen in mid-air, looking at Mjolnir with a somewhat blank expression, and then glancing at Clark.

"Luckily, I didn't let you hold Mjolnir while you were in mid-air, otherwise you would have fallen and gotten hurt..." Clark shook his head, looking at Lana with a smile, and said, "It's a little different from the Mjolnir in mythology. To pick up this Mjolnir, you need Mjolnir approval. Without Mjolnir approval, its weight should be heavier than a planet, or it might be Infinity heavy, making it impossible to lift..."

"Wow, that's amazing! So you've gained the approval of Mjolnir?" Lana asked Clark with admiration. "How do you gain the approval of Mjolnir?"

"He needs to be a righteous and kind person... Hmm, of course there are other conditions as well, probably including a pure heart and a willingness to sacrifice..." Clark recalled what the All-Father Odin had said, but as he spoke, he felt something was off. If only the conditions mentioned earlier were considered, wouldn't that imply that Lana was not righteous or kind? So Clark continued to try to find the missing pieces.

Clark felt that although All-Father Odin had only stated those conditions, there were actually more conditions than he had mentioned. It wasn't that Clark thought there were many righteous and kind people, but rather that, generally speaking, as long as someone wasn't an extremely evil person, they would have a righteous and kind side to them to some extent. All-Father Odin hadn't added any restrictions, there were quite a few people who met these conditions.

As for absolute justice and kindness, Clark felt that he didn't quite qualify; it was just that his sense of justice and kindness was more prominent.

"Clark, you can meet all these conditions? Well, you are Superman! It's not surprising that you can do this..." Hearing Clark's words, Lana's eyes shone with even stronger admiration.

"Is it really that amazing? I don't believe it!" Robet, standing to the side, curled his lip in disapproval. He regretted speaking up for Clark earlier and instead watched how Clark resolved this crisis!

"Don't believe me? Try it!" Clark said to Robet with a smile. "However, even if you're stronger Lana, it won't matter. This Mjolnir isn't something you can lift just because you're strong. When I first touched it, it seemed to react a beat too slowly; I almost got dragged away by it..."

Clark had no idea that the previous situation occurred because All-Father Odin, had just issued the incantation and then hurled Mjolnir onto Earth. Before Mjolnir even hit the ground, a Clark who met the conditions grabbed Mjolnir. Not only did All-Father Odin not expect this, but neither did Mjolnir or the incantation on it!

"Even you got dragged away?" Robet raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes as he looked at Mjolnir's hammer. He then stepped forward, extending his hand and saying with a smile, "Then I'll have to give it a good try. By the way, what's the use of picking it up if it meets the requirements? To smash people with the hammer?"

"You'll gain the Power of Thor, but you don't need to try, nor do you need to activate the Great Ape Power: Wrath transformation. If you can lift it, it won't take much effort, and if you can't lift it, the transformation... it... won't be useful?" Clark was teasing Robet as he watched him complete the Great Ape Power: Wrath transformation while walking, but suddenly he looked at Robet and the Mjolnir Robet was raising as if he had seen a ghost.

At this moment, a look of confusion still flickered in Clark's eyes. If Lana hadn't failed to pick up Mjolnir earlier, Clark would now be wondering if the spell on Mjolnir had failed.

Clark, who watched Robet grow up and become a violent fighting Saiyan, knew Robet's personality best. It was already a miracle Robet wasn't a villain; how could he be associated with justice and kindness? And that didn't even take into account the conditions he had just deduced...
