Regarding option B, everyone analyzed it under two different scenarios.
One scenario, proposed by Black Widow, was that the Aether was still on Vanaheim. Under this circumstance, it could naturally be ruled out without a doubt.
If the Aether wasn't even on Earth, how could it possibly be inhabiting a scientist on Earth?
The other scenario assumed that the Aether had been transferred from Vanaheim to Earth. Through Tony Stark's analysis, this scenario also had many inconsistencies.
It was also ruled out by everyone.
So, in summary, option B could indeed be ruled out.
"Great! Then the answer to this question is out!" Thor's face immediately lit up with excitement. "This is a question about me, so I get to answer, right?"
With that, Thor was eager, rubbing his hands together, wanting to give the answer.
"Thor, we haven't ruled out option D yet. We don't know if Jane Foster can actually lift your hammer!"
Hawkeye Barton reminded Thor.
"No, Barton, in my book, D is off the table!" Thor replied to Hawkeye Barton with absolute certainty.
"I choose A!"
Immediately after, Thor stopped paying attention to everyone else's opinions and directly announced his answer to the big screen.
No one was surprised by this. Thor was, in fact, a very proud individual, sometimes even more so than Tony Stark.
The idea of an ordinary human scientist picking up Mjolnir was something Thor simply couldn't believe.
[Correct Answer!]
Fortunately, Thor got this question right; option D was indeed not the correct answer.
"Yes! I knew it! I said D couldn't be right!" Thor couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh, the smugness on his face almost overflowing.
[Congratulations to the respondent, Thor Odinson, for receiving the reward: Lightning Style: Chidori Sharp Spear!]
Immediately afterward, the system began to distribute the reward, and some relevant information immediately appeared in Thor's mind.
At the same time, his body also naturally underwent some changes.
In an instant, Thor had mastered that Lightning Style technique perfectly.
"Chidori Sharp Spear? This is practically tailor-made for me!" Thor looked very satisfied and kept clapping his hands and laughing.
"Chidori Sharp Spear? What a strange name."
Tony Stark couldn't help but stare curiously at Thor, asking, "So Thor, what kind of ninja technique is this? Frankly, I've never seen one before."
The others present were also very interested, wanting to see what kind of ninja technique the God of Thunder had just acquired.
"Watch closely!"
Thor laughed heartily, and then with a thought, tiny arcs of electricity crackled across his body.
In the dazzling, radiant light, a long blade purely made of lightning condensed out of thin air.
Looking at it, it was just like Nick Fury's plasma lightsaber, so dazzling and eye-catching, full of a unique kind of beauty.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
And with Thor's control, the lightning blade grew larger, smaller, thicker, and longer, able to undergo all sorts of changes at will.
Everyone present watched with admiration.
Swoosh!
Thor casually swung his blade, and a dazzling flash of light sliced through the air. Several large trees around him were cleanly cut in half, demonstrating its incredible power.
"Thor, is this ninjutsu?"
Dr. Banner couldn't help but ask in amazement. This ninjutsu was quite different from what he had imagined.
"Yes, this is the Chidori Sharp Spear." Thor nodded, explaining to Dr. Banner.
He then added, "But it's not the ninjutsu that's strong; it's me who's strong. This ninjutsu just helps me better control the power within me!"
Thor wasn't just bragging.
The Lightning Style ninjutsu in his hands far surpassed what those ninjas from the Naruto world could do. After all, how much chakra did those ninjas have? They couldn't possibly compare to Thor's godly power.
The Chidori Sharp Spear, when used by Thor, was on a completely different level than Sasuke's. The two weren't even in the same league.
Forget about the sheer power difference for a moment. That sharp spear only lasted a moment in Sasuke's hands, but in Thor's, he could use it for the entire Battle of New York without issue.
After all, the current Thor had unleashed his full potential!
"Stark, do you think my lightning blade could cut your armor in half?" Thor turned his head, leering at Tony Stark with a cocky expression.
"Based on theoretical analysis, your lightning blade has more power and sharpness than Aldrich Killian's energy hand, so..."
Tony Stark shrugged. "As of now, my armor can't withstand your lightning blade, but!"
There was always a "but."
"But! I won't just stand here like an idiot and let you slash me. I'll knock you away before you even swing your blade!"
"Secondly! These are just some of my early, not-so-refined armors, that's all! Compared to these crude versions, Thor, is that all you've got?"
"Also, didn't I tell you before? My future nano-armor can even withstand the power of Thanos' Infinity Stones?"
In the arena of showing off, ten Thors couldn't hold a candle to Tony Stark.
[Answer Complete, Now Playing Answer Analysis!]
The answer analysis began, and everyone present temporarily collected their thoughts, focusing their attention on the upcoming video.
The first thing that caught their eyes was a place resembling an abandoned building.
On the empty road, three people – a man and two women – were cautiously walking forward, as if searching for something.
These three were none other than the astrophysicist Jane Foster, Jane Foster's assistant and good friend Daisy, and a nameless supporting intern.
Whoosh!
A sudden commotion erupted, startling the group. They quickly turned around, only to see a flock of birds flapping their wings overhead.
On the wall behind them, shadows of several people running past quickly flickered.
A full-on slasher horror film vibe.
And in the process, the faces of three people appeared within the frame. The face of one of them immediately caught the attention of everyone present.
It made everyone feel very surprised and shocked.
"It's her! That woman from Asgard!"
Tony Stark exclaimed in surprise, "Didn't that woman have the Aether?"
But the answer to this question was clearly A, infected by an unknown substance, could it be...
Everyone quickly realized, those unknown substances were actually the Aether?
The Aether was really on Earth?
So, all the previous analyses of option B were completely wrong?
"It's okay, we're Americans!"
Daisy's voice rang out as she raised her hands, calling out to the direction where the figures had flashed.
"You think that'll make them like us?" Jane Foster quipped, a little speechless.
But who would have thought, this move actually worked.
The figures hidden in the shadows all walked out, surprising everyone present. It turned out they were a group of children.
"They're just kids!" Jane Foster and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you the police?" One of the girls, with long hair draped over her shoulders, cautiously stared at Jane Foster and the others, asking.
"No, we're scientists! At least, I am!" Jane Foster explained to them.
"Thank you! We found it by accident," the girl continued, addressing Jane Foster.
"Can you show us?" Jane Foster asked, her eyes filled with anticipation.
The children exchanged glances and agreed to Jane Foster's request. They then led Jane Foster and the others to a mud tanker.
Everyone watching the screen was astonished because the several-ton mud tanker was floating in the air, its four wheels off the ground!
"This… magnetic levitation?" Tony Stark immediately made a basic judgment.
But then, something even more surprising happened.
Because one of the black boys lightly lifted the mud tanker with his hand, and the entire tanker flipped over, as if it were a balloon.
"No, it's a special gravity field!" Tony Stark immediately made another, more reasonable judgment.
Following that, the children led Jane Foster and the others up the stairs, retrieved a glass bottle, and tossed it down.
Whoosh!
The glass bottle immediately plummeted downwards, but when it reached a certain point in the air, it mysteriously vanished.
This scene left everyone present in awe.
However, what came next was even more astonishing.
"Where did it go?"
Jane Foster asked the children, her face filled with surprise.
The children, with knowing expressions, pointed upwards. Jane Foster and the others couldn't help but look up.
Whoosh!
The glass bottle, which had disappeared, suddenly fell from the sky, dropping back to the place where it had vanished before, and disappearing again.
Then, it fell downwards from where it had appeared in the sky.
Again and again.
Everyone present was seeing this "spectacle" for the first time.
Jane Foster also conducted an experiment. She then picked up an instrument, glanced at the readings, and a look of surprise appeared on her face: "These readings last appeared in..."
"New Mexico!" Daisy chimed in.
New Mexico?
Everyone in front of the screen couldn't help but be moved. New Mexico, wasn't that where Thor descended to Earth?
Was this a coincidence?
Or did the two have some kind of connection?
With this question in mind, everyone continued to stare intently at the images on the big screen.
Jane Foster was holding the instrument, checking the data while exploring and searching within the building.
Finally, she arrived outside a room.
But at that moment, a mysterious suction force suddenly appeared, pulling Jane Foster forward and slamming her towards the room.
Just as Jane Foster was about to hit the wall, a burst of energy fluctuation arose, and she instantly found herself in another space.
Jane Foster herself didn't know what happened, but everyone present saw it clearly: Jane Foster was no longer inside the building!
Everyone became even more surprised and curious. What exactly was going on inside this abandoned building?
Truly bizarre!
But according to the description in the title, Jane Foster should have been infected with that "unknown substance" here, right?
Their guess was correct. After a moment of panic, Jane Foster cautiously began to explore this space.
Soon, she saw a mass of glowing red light within a stone crevice.
Not only that, but the mass was also wriggling constantly!
The thing was alive!
"This is the 'unknown substance' mentioned in the title, right? Could it be the Aether?" Dr. Banner speculated.
Everyone present also suspected as much.
If that were the case, it would explain why the Dark Elves' weapon appeared in Asgard.
Their guess was correct; that mass of red, unknown substance was indeed the Aether.
Jane Foster was staring at the Aether with a face full of curiosity, like a scientist who had encountered a superb research subject. But then, an unexpected event occurred.
Whoosh!
The Aether suddenly surged into Jane Foster's body.
Jane Foster swayed twice, then went limp and collapsed onto the ground.
When Jane Foster opened her eyes again, she found herself outside the abandoned building, no longer in that strange space.
Jane Foster looked around and then cautiously walked out, only to find the area had been cordoned off.
Several police cars were parked there, and some officers were moving back and forth, conducting investigations and taking notes.
"Jane!"
Daisy saw Jane Foster and hurried over.
"Did you call the police?" Jane Foster asked, a little reproachfully.
"What else could I do?"
"Don't call the police! If you call the police, they'll notify the FBI, and then S.H.I.E.L.D. will descend from the sky and turn this place into Area 51."
"Jane~"
"We found a stable gravitational anomaly field that we can study freely, and our opponents are just a bunch of ten-year-olds!"
"Jane! You've been missing for five hours!"
"Huh?" Jane Foster was startled.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
At this moment, it began to rain.
However, what was strange was that the rain seemed to have a soul, and it automatically avoided Jane Foster and Daisy.
A "safe zone" formed around the two of them, where no rain fell. Outside of the safe zone, the rain poured down.
It was truly bizarre.
