Chapter Seventy-Two: Jane Foster
The debut of Iron Man marked a significant event, heralding a new era. From that moment on, people gradually became accustomed to the presence of superheroes.
In the years to come, Earth would face crises surpassing those of the past millennia, with many previously unknown superhumans rising to the challenge. This is why heroes emerge in troubled times.
However, Thor believed there were still not enough superheroes.
While only a few top heroes are qualified to confront Thanos in the future, Thanos' vast army will require many ordinary heroes to combat.
Otherwise, the overwhelming force of Thanos' army alone could easily overpower even the strongest individuals with sheer numbers.
So, the next step is...
…
New Mexico, Thor's Theme Park.
Once a wasteland, this area had become lively since a hammer fell from the sky ten years ago.
Tourists flock here hoping to lift the hammer, but few succeed. Even an old man named Stan Lee couldn't move it with a car.
Later, Stan Lee, who had the means, invested in creating a park that has since developed into a famous local attraction.
Today, the park had three special visitors.
A girl leading the way had dark hair and an attractive face. Her eyes sparkled with intelligence and a hint of mischievousness.
Although she could easily rely on her looks, she chose to work hard, discussing her research.
Behind her was a girl with slightly less striking features and an older man.
As they entered the park, Thor, sitting on a bench reading a newspaper, looked up.
He immediately recognized the girl, despite never having met or investigated her personally.
Jane Foster—once his girlfriend in another timeline and a female Thor in some parallel worlds!
"This park is so dull, Jane. You're crazy to come all this way!" Daisy complained behind Jane Foster.
"I didn't come here for fun. According to my research, this hammer could greatly benefit my studies..."
"Okay, okay, I get it. You have a soft spot for your ex-boyfriend's hammer!" Daisy teased.
Jane Foster's face flushed slightly before she quickly recovered. "Shut up! How many times do I have to say it? I don't have a boyfriend!"
"Right, your ex-boyfriend's name is Blake, isn't it? I saw you had a suit with his name on it! But it was confirmed some time ago that Blake is Thor." Daisy laughed, exposing her teasing.
Jane Foster looked exasperated. When she was younger, she followed her classmates in their star-chasing phase. But as a straightforward person, she knew little about celebrities beyond well-known figures like Captain America and Black Panther...
That suit was from back then, with the name "Donald Blake" on it, and she had kept it ever since. Daisy saw it during a room cleaning...
As a signature attraction of the park, lifting the hammer is a must for visitors, and Jane Foster and her companions were no exception.
…
At the park entrance, Thor did not rush in. He waited calmly, knowing that his prediction would soon come true.
Suddenly, a massive surge of energy spread out, a vortex appeared in the sky, and a tornado formed instantly with dazzling lightning.
The entire sky darkened, resembling a total solar eclipse. The park's electrical systems faltered, burning out instantly, causing widespread panic.
Only Thor wore a satisfied smile.
I've been waiting for you, She-Thor!
