This Time, Let's Not Be So Miserable

[System Prompt: Detected new module characteristic. Download permission will be granted after research.]

Fang Mo was taken aback by the system's prompt.

Honestly, he wasn't sure which new module the system had detected. Was it the one he'd already unlocked 80% of, or a completely new one?

Regardless of which module it was, it was definitely related to the two items on the ground.

So, Fang Mo instinctively glanced down at the ground.

In that brief moment of distraction, Loki instantly left a phantom illusion in his place and the real Loki immediately bolted.

"..."

Frigga witnessed the entire event but pretended not to see it, maintaining her panicked expression. After all, Loki was her child, whom she had raised from a young age. As a mother, she would never wish for her child to be in danger.

Fang Mo had also noticed Loki's little trick, but he couldn't be bothered to deal with him. This was Thor's family matter, and it was up to his family to resolve it in the end.

As for himself, he needed to focus on researching the module.

With that thought, Fang Mo plunged the Manyullyn Cleaver into the ground beside him, then bent down to pick up the two divine artifacts, examining them in his hands.

"Hmm?"

Frigga found this scene rather odd.

Loki's illusion was still standing there with its hands raised, yet Fang Mo completely ignored it. He was solely focused on researching the Ancient Winter Coffin and Gungnir, not paying any attention to Loki. Was he overly confident in his own strength?

Or did he, like her, see through Loki's illusion?

After some thought, Frigga couldn't help but speak.

"Who... are you?"

"I'm Thor's friend." Fang Mo studied the divine artifacts in his hand, then looked up and offered Frigga a friendly smile. "Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards Asgard. I'm just very interested in the structure of these items. I'll return them after I've studied them."

As he was speaking, the system prompt sounded again.

[System Prompt: Mastered the extreme cold characteristic of the 'Ancient Winter Coffin'. You have obtained 25% of the new module download permission.]

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this prompt, Fang Mo's expression became somewhat complex.

He was happy, but also conflicted.

He was happy because the ability to unlock modules could be triggered concurrently.

He was conflicted because, to this day, he still didn't know what module the Destroyer Armor had triggered, nor how he could find the remaining 20% of its new characteristics.

"If only I knew the module's name."

Fang Mo sighed. Now that he triggered new modules without even knowing their names, even if he wanted to unlock them, he wouldn't know what to touch.

Take this current module, for example. The extreme cold characteristic gave him 25% new module download permission, and then expected him to blindly guess what the module was...

How could anyone possibly guess that?

"Forget it... At worst, I'll just be a bit clumsy in the future and touch everything I see."

Fang Mo took a deep breath, then handed the Ancient Winter Coffin and Gungnir back to Frigga. "I'm done studying them. Here, I'll return them to you for now."

"Uh, okay."

Frigga hadn't expected Fang Mo to actually return the items. She seemed a bit surprised, but she reached out and took the two divine artifacts. Then, she walked back to Odin's side to continue guarding him.

Fang Mo glanced at Frigga.

As if sensing his gaze, she looked back at him at the same moment.

Honestly, Fang Mo felt quite sympathetic towards Thor.

Aside from Stark, who was forced by the plot to snap his fingers in Avengers 4, Fang Mo's deepest impression throughout the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe was probably Thor.

After all, that guy was truly miserable.

First, his mother was killed by the Executioner, and then his father died not long after.

He finally got an older sister, but she appeared and crushed his beloved Mjolnir, gouged out one of his eyes, and of course, his sister also died in the end.

Even his brother Loki, who was constantly bickering with him and faking his death, was personally strangled to death by Thanos in Avengers 3.

Then, his home, where he had lived for nearly a thousand years... Asgard exploded, and half of his fleeing subjects were slaughtered by Thanos.

After enduring a high-temperature radiation of tens of millions of degrees and forging the God-King weapon Stormbreaker, he still missed his target with the axe, which allowed Thanos to successfully snap his fingers. Thanos even taunted him before escaping. Later, when Thor finally found Thanos, he had already destroyed the Infinity Stones, completely extinguishing all hope.

After that, Thor completely gave up and became a jovial beer-drinker.

As his weight increased, his combat power plummeted. This led to him, in Avengers 4, who could have easily chopped up Thanos with six Infinity Stones, being almost beaten to a pulp by Thanos without any stones.

Later, Captain America picked up his hammer and saved the day in this almost NTR-like manner. Otherwise, he wouldn't have survived until the end.

Then I heard that in Thor 4, even his ex-girlfriend had late-stage cancer.

What the hell... how miserable could Thor possibly be?

Even Fang Mo could barely stand it. Screenwriters, can't you just switch to someone else? Why do you keep picking on one person?

Thinking about it, Fang Mo decided to speak to Frigga. "Uh, well, God Queen... I have a question for you."

"What?" Frigga looked at Fang Mo with confusion.

"Do you want to die?"

Fang Mo asked directly.

"..."

Frigga didn't speak, instead looking at Fang Mo with the gaze one reserves for idiots.

"Ahem, alright, let me rephrase," Fang Mo said, realizing his question was a bit foolish. He touched his forehead and continued, "What I mean is... do you know when you died? Or rather, do you know how you died?"

"Thor's friend, I understand what you mean."

Upon hearing this, Frigga smiled slightly. "I was raised by witches, so I know some things. I guess you, like that Sorcerer Supreme who guards Midgard, can predict some future events, right?"

"I know you're not afraid of death."

Seeing that Frigga was a sensible person who understood immediately, Fang Mo no longer beat around the bush. He spread his hands and said, "But honestly, for a mother to die in front of her children, really... isn't that a bit inconsiderate?"

"It's all fate's arrangement."

Frigga shook her head.

"The last dog-headed creature who claimed to be destiny was beheaded by your son," Fang Mo shook his head. "Destiny can't harm Thor, but you can."

"..."

Hearing this, Frigga was silent for a moment before finally asking, "...You saw Thor suffer a lot in the future, didn't you?"

"For something like this, I suggest you see it for yourself."

As Fang Mo spoke, he slowly got up and walked towards the door. He had said what he needed to say, and now it was up to her own will.

However, as he passed Frigga, he took out an Enchanted Golden Apple and placed it beside her.

"This is..."

Frigga looked at the golden apple with some confusion. She could sense its extraordinary nature; it was a rare treasure worthy of being included in Asgard's treasury.

"This is my goodwill towards you as a mother, and also towards Asgard."

Fang Mo waved his hand and continued walking towards the door. But when he reached the doorway, he suddenly turned as if he had remembered something, "Oh, right... where is Asgard's treasure vault?"

"I'd like to visit."
