Located three kilometers east of Old Bridge in western America.
A military tent area has been set up here, and dozens of agents from the S.H.I.E.L.D. are patrolling and keeping watch on the perimeter.
At this moment, Coulson and Barton were inside the tent where Mjolnir was kept, observing the hammer that had fallen from the sky but no one could lift it.
"Do Alien all like playing with hammers?" Barton joked.
"It might be their weapon."
"Using a hammer as a weapon? That reminds me of the dwarfs in Fairy Tale tales."
"Perhaps the dwarfs in Fairy Tale tales really exist, except they're Alien."
As the two were chatting idly, the alarm suddenly went off at the temporary base.
The piercing alarm startled both of them, and they quickly sprang into action.
Hawkeye ran straight out of the tent, flipped over and jumped onto the watchtower, nocked an arrow, and began surveying the entire camp.
His exceptional eyesight allowed him to quickly spot a figure wearing a hospital gown.
This was a burly man with long, golden hair. Despite wearing a hospital gown, it did not hinder his movements in the slightest.
This burly man moved with sharpness, his attacks were cunning and precise, clearly a skilled fighter honed on the battlefield.
"I've locked onto the target. Should I shoot?" Barton asked softly.
"Wait," Coulson's voice came through the earpiece.
"His target seems to be the hammer; let's see what the other side is up to first."
Barton kept his arrows aimed at the burly man until the man entered the tent.
Coulson stood not far from the hammer with two Undead Skeleton by his side. Having two Undead Skeleton by his side gave Coulson a lot more confidence.
He knew exactly how powerful those two Undead Skeleton were.
It's no exaggeration to say that even if they encountered Hulk now, these two Undead Skeleton could hold their own. While they might not be able to defeat Hulk, it would be difficult for Hulk to defeat these two Undead Skeleton as well.
In particular, a melee attacker and a ranged magic controller make for a perfect Combat combination.
The burly man who barged in didn't even glance at Coulson; his eyes were fixed on the hammer, a silly grin on his lips.
" Mjolnir, so you're here." The burly man said as he approached the hammer, grabbed the handle, but the next moment, his expression changed drastically.
His initial innocent smile turned to terror; he switched from using one hand to both, struggling to pull for a long time...
"No!"
The burly man looked up at the sky and roared, his expression one of pain, disbelief, and utter despair.
Watching the burly man's spectacular performance, Coulson's lips twitched.
Looking back at the two Undead Skeleton, he realized they showed no intention of attacking the burly man, and knew he wasn't a bad person.
Therefore, unlike in the original storyline, they did not control this burly man, who is Thor.
"What's your name? Do you know where this hammer came from?" Coulson asked.
Thor didn't speak; he was now completely immersed in despair and disbelief, like a child who had lost his toy.
"You're quite skilled. It seems you've undergone special training. Let me guess where you received your training? Chechnya? Afghanistan?"
"I am Thor Odinson, son of All-Father Odin, the Lord of the Nine Realms. This is Mjolnir, also known as Thor's Mjolnir in Midgardian."
Coulson instinctively wanted to retort, but after glancing at the two Undead Skeleton behind him, he swallowed his words.
"So, you're Thor?"
"My father Deprivation me of my Divine Power; I angered him and was exiled to Midgard."
Midgard?
"That is, Earth. Midgard is Earth's name in the Nine Realms."
"Let's go, I think we should have a drink. I'm very interested in the Nine Realms."
Thor stood up, feeling somewhat dazed.
Just as the two were about to leave, the two Undead Skeleton suddenly launched an attack.
Before Coulson and Thor could react, the Skeleton Warrior slashed at the air.
A scream rang out as a handsome young man in a magnificent robe was slashed out of thin air by Skeleton Warrior.
This strike completely caught everyone off guard.
" Loki?" Thor exclaimed.
Loki staggered back a few steps in pain, dodging the Skeleton Warrior Skeleton Warrior's second strike, but not his third.
It wasn't that he didn't want to dodge, but the Skeleton Mage simply used Ice Cone to freeze him in place.
Fortunately, Loki was the son of Frost Giants and had extremely strong resistance to ice, so he was able to break free from the Freeze grip instantly.
Holding the shoulder that was almost chopped in two, he vanished from the spot in an instant.
A pool of blue cesium blood and a fragment of armor lay on the ground.
A knife to the ribs, a knife to the shoulder—these two cuts nearly killed Loki.
Thor was dumbfounded, while Coulson was somewhat frightened and gave the two skeleton soldiers a grateful look. If it weren't for them, he would probably be dead if this hidden enemy had made a move.
Of course, I'm most grateful to Ling Yi Ling Yi. I'll definitely treat him to a drink when we get back.
"You hurt Loki, that's my brother!" Thor roared angrily.
"Wait, Thor, I think I can explain."
Thor assumed an attack stance, but did not actually make a move.
He may be simple-minded, but he's not truly stupid. Loki may be a bit weak, but he still possesses Divine Body.
These two strange-looking Midgardian almost killed Loki; such terrifying attack power is definitely not simple.
Besides, he's lost his Divine Power now; wouldn't charging in now be courting death?
But the proper stance must be taken; after all, Loki represents Asgard, and he needs an explanation.
"Prince Thor, could you tell me who that person was?"
" Loki Odinson, my brother, the Second King of Asgard."
Thor said in a very unpleasant tone.
Coulson thought for a moment. Loki, isn't that the God of Mischief? The main villain in the Myth, no wonder he was attacked by Undead Skeleton.
"I don't understand, since Loki is here, why doesn't he just show himself instead of Invisibility?"
Coulson could tell that this Thor was a bit simple-minded, so he decided to guide him a little.
As a Level 8 agent of the S.H.I.E.L.D., he was well-informed and had seen all sorts of conspiracies and schemes. He almost instantly guessed the power struggle between Loki and Thor.
Seeing that Thor didn't answer, Coulson continued to ask.
"So, what is the current situation of All-Father Odin? Can you tell me?"
"Father must have fallen into a deep sleep; he needs to maintain his Divine Power through slumber."
So Odin was hibernating—no, I mean, asleep— Coulson became even more certain of his guess.
Besides, this Thor really doesn't seem to use his brain much; he actually fell for such a simple line of questioning. Well then, I won't be so polite.
"So, in all of Asgard, Loki is the one with the most say, right?"
Thor frowned and fell silent again.
" What If...? you can never return to Asgard, then Loki will surely ascend to the throne."
Thor said somewhat angrily, " Midgardian, don't Sow Discord. There's nothing strange about Loki ascending the throne."
Coulson dropped the subject, and Thor lowered his attack stance; clearly, Coulson had achieved his goal.
Even if Thor were stupid, he could probably guess Loki's purpose.
Loki, who once held absolute power in Asgard, is now stripped of his divine powers and stranded on Earth. This presents the perfect opportunity for Loki to seize the throne.
Thor may not like to use his brain, but that doesn't mean he's brainless.
Even a pig that has lived for thousands of years would have become a spirit by now, okay?
Led by Coulson, the two arrived at a special rest area. Upon hearing that Thor wanted to drink, Coulson even prepared a large quantity of Dongfang Bai) for him.
The two chatted and drank, and soon Coulson had a pretty good understanding of Asgard and the Nine Realms.
Meanwhile, a dramatic change is taking place at the S.H.I.E.L.D. in New York City.
Natasha and Nick Fury's investigation finally alerted Alexander Pierce, the supreme leader of Hydra, who was hiding within the S.H.I.E.L.D..
Compared to Nick Fury, Alexander Pierce has a much higher level of control over the S.H.I.E.L.D.; every little thing he does is known.
In reality, Nick Fury was unaware that the force hidden within the S.H.I.E.L.D. was Hydra.
But that's not important. What's important is the Alexander Pierce doesn't do something, his identity will be discovered sooner or later.
Although it's unknown how Nick Fury discovered it, Pierce can't gamble.
On Sixth Avenue in New York City, a massive, black SUV was slowly driving along the road.
Ten Undead Skeleton sat in the back of the vehicle; only a specially modified large SUV like this could carry so many people.
Nick Fury is going to investigate a S.H.I.E.L.D. outpost. According to Coulson's list, the person in charge of this base is on the list.
This gave Nick Fury a sense of urgency; he always felt that something big was about to happen.
He casually glanced around, a instinctive reaction from a top-tier agent.
Nick's pupils contracted; something seemed off about the surrounding road conditions.
The previously congested road was now completely empty of private cars; instead, he was surrounded by several patrol cars on all sides.
Suddenly, the patrol car in front braked sharply, forcing the SUV to a stop. Immediately afterward, the patrol car behind crashed into the rear of the SUV.
"System, contact the headquarters of the S.H.I.E.L.D. immediately!" Nick Fury knew something was terribly wrong and shouted immediately.
"Sir, the signal in the vicinity has been blocked."
Suddenly, a burst of gunfire rang out, bullets striking the vehicle and bulletproof glass with a crackling sound.
"Sir, the car body is 10% damaged."
Nick Fury's eyes were sinister, a Bloodthirst glint emanating from his One-Eye.
"Guys, help me kill the enemies outside." Nick Fury didn't use the vehicle's weapons, but instead turned to look at the Undead Skeleton.
Seeing all the Undead Skeleton' eyes glow red and enter Combat mode, Nick Fury immediately commanded the vehicle's intelligent system to open the rear door.
Five Skeleton Warrior and five Skeleton Mage swiftly leaped out of the SUV, transforming into Daodao light as they pounced on the enemies outside...
