Thor stood up and quickly patted Alex Ray on the shoulder.
"Bro, you finally made it. Thank you again for your help."
Then he glanced at the hulking figure behind them and warned, "That's the Destroyer, an Asgardian weapon. Normal attacks won't do a thing. Only Mjolnir can destroy it. But unfortunately... no one can wield it now except me."
Thor's voice trailed off, his head lowering slightly, frustration plain on his face. He could no longer lift the hammer.
Alex Ray frowned at Thor's words. He looked at him with growing irritation.
"Hammer. Hammer. All he ever thinks about is the hammer. Is he the God of Thunder or the God of Hammers?" he muttered silently.
Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Alex turned to Thor. "You're the God of Thunder, Thor. I told you before, you're not the 'Hammer God.' Stop obsessing over that broken thing. What will you do if one day it's gone?"
Thor opened his mouth to respond, but before he could say a word, the Destroyer fired another beam of red-hot energy at them. Without even glancing at it, Alex waved a hand, conjuring chaos magic that easily dissipated the blast.
He turned slowly toward the Destroyer, eyes narrowing with annoyance. The thing had just interrupted his conversation. That was unforgivable.
With a thought, Alex activated his magnetic powers. Nearby cars and metallic debris levitated into the air, then launched like missiles toward the Destroyer, crushing it under a relentless barrage of steel.
The machine roared in defiance as it was buried, but for the moment, it was subdued.
Confident, Alex turned back to Thor and gave him an encouraging nod, motioning for him to continue.
Thor exhaled deeply. His attachment to Mjolnir was clear, and his voice was serious as he spoke.
"Brother, Mjolnir is my companion. It's fought beside me in countless battles. No one else can lift it—that's the mark of an Asgardian artifact. Each one chooses its master."
Alex gave him a small smile and shook his head gently.
"Thor, you can't lift the hammer now, can you? Doesn't that tell you something? Your power doesn't come from Mjolnir. It's in you. Stop depending so much on that so-called broken hammer."
He leaned closer and added, "And frankly, there are plenty of people who can lift it."
Alex wasn't wrong.
Hela, the Goddess of Death and Thor's sister, was Mjolnir's previous wielder. Thor was just using a hand-me-down. Odin could lift it too. Even Captain America had not only picked it up, but fought with it in battle—better than Thor himself.
And with the system at his side, Alex could lift the hammer whenever he wanted.
He really didn't understand why Thor treasured that hammer so much. It wasn't like anyone else even wanted it.
Odin had only given the hammer to Thor to help him channel his divine power—it was never the source.
Thor's face tightened at Alex's words. Clearly, he didn't want to accept the truth.
"Brother," he said with an edge of anger and disbelief. "I admit you've saved me more than once, and I do consider you a friend. But you can't insult my hammer like that. And you can't joke about it."
"No one else can lift it!" Thor declared again, doubling down.
"No one!"
Thor had convinced himself that he was the only one worthy, that Mjolnir would only respond to him.
Alex didn't argue. He simply stood there in silence… and raised his right hand as if summoning something.
Thor stared, confused at first, then his eyes narrowed with disdain. The posture was familiar—and absurd. Alex was trying to summon Mjolnir?
Thor couldn't help but smirk.
Mjolnir was an Asgardian relic. His weapon. How could a mortal from Midgard possibly control it?
To him, this was a joke. The idea that Alex Ray could wield Mjolnir was as ridiculous as Asgard itself being destroyed.
And yet…
Far in the distance, where the hammer had landed, it began to tremble.
Mjolnir slowly lifted from the ground… then shot across the sky like a comet.
Thor was still standing confidently, arms crossed, watching Alex with amusement—when suddenly something streaked past with a sharp whoosh.
Alex reached out and caught the hammer mid-flight.
Thor froze.
He pointed, eyes wide. "That... that's my hammer. That's Mjolnir! How... how is this possible?!"
He rubbed his eyes as if trying to wake from a dream. But the sight didn't change.
Alex stood calmly, holding Mjolnir with one hand, a faint smile playing at his lips.
"Looks like it's mine now," he said quietly.
It was as if lightning had struck Thor straight in the soul. He stood there, stunned.
"This... this is an illusion! It has to be an illusion!" he shouted. "You're a master of illusion—you must be tricking me!"
Desperately trying to convince himself, Thor forced a smile.
"Bro, I get it. You're trying to cheer me up. But this isn't funny. Now take down the illusion."
Alex said nothing. He simply twirled Mjolnir once in his hand, then casually tossed it toward Thor.
"If it's really yours," he said, "go ahead—take it."
The hammer landed with a loud thud, embedding itself into the earth.
Thor rushed forward and gripped the handle.
He pulled.
And pulled.
Nothing.
The hammer didn't budge an inch.
Thor's expression fell as a terrible thought crept into his mind: Has the hammer rejected me?
Alex's voice echoed in his ears.
"This hammer is just average."
"No—it's worse than average!"
"It's not special at all!
