Alex Ray frowned as he read Thor's message asking for help. He wasn't sure what kind of trouble the god had gotten himself into this time.
He couldn't tell if Thor was joking or if something serious had happened.
Thor's current power level came to mind. While not yet at his peak, it was still enough to dominate the Marvel world.
Alex knew that while Thor was strong, he wasn't invincible. Against certain foes, even the God of Thunder could be rendered powerless.
But even if Thor couldn't defeat an enemy, his ability to escape was outstanding. With his speed and strength, retreat was always an option.
Which only made it more confusing—who exactly had Thor run into this time? For him to be so troubled that he'd ask Alex for help?
Still, Thor wasn't the type to cry wolf. Alex had no idea where Thor was now, but he assumed the god was still on Earth. If he had been on another planet, he would've likely called on his father, Odin, not him.
At this point in time, there weren't many on Earth capable of defeating Thor. But… there were some.
Wait—someone did come to mind.
Alex's thoughts jumped to a certain magenta-clad man always carrying a camera: Kadoya Tsukasa.
That guy was perfect for this kind of situation. He could easily beat Thor—without actually killing him.
Alex rubbed his forehead and sighed in exasperation. A bitter feeling welled up in his chest.
Thor always found ways to stir up trouble and give everyone a headache.
He could practically picture it—Thor, in his usual brash manner, had probably assumed his divine powers had fully returned, and went in with arrogance. He must have underestimated Kadoya and said something tactless, earning himself a righteous beatdown.
Alex shook his head. Thor might've had a big mouth and a tendency to offend people, but deep down, he wasn't a bad guy.
Still, his blunt nature often got him into trouble, especially in delicate situations.
But Alex wasn't interested in cleaning up after Thor. Just because the guy had thick skin didn't mean he was immune to pain.
Besides, this had nothing to do with him. He wasn't obligated to help.
With that thought, Alex picked up his cup, took a sip of tea, and continued browsing the newly opened group chat feed.
Everyone in the group was clearly enjoying the drama. Not a single one of them was offering to help.
So Poor That He Only Has Money Left:
"Who's this 'Hammer God'? Is that Thor, the guy who swings the hammer around?"
"Why does he keep asking Alex Ray for help? Ever since I met him, my image of gods has plummeted. But hey, I never had much faith in them to begin with!"
"Better to believe in me—Tony Stark! If you worship me hard enough, I might even toss you a couple bucks when I'm in a good mood. But these so-called gods? Will they pay your rent? Cover your hospital bills? Didn't think so."
Naughty Spider-Man:
"Trust me, get money!"
Strive To Be Better:
"Trust you, get money!"
Next Time I'll Hold You Tight:
"Trust you, get money!"
Good Friends for Life:
"Trust you, get money!"
The Food Delivery Guy:
"Hold up, it's one thing for the rest of us, but Harry, you're loaded. Are you really trying to squeeze cash out of us poor souls too?"
Good Friends for Life:
"Hey, no one can ever have too much money."
So Poor That He Only Has Money Left:
"Okay okay, everyone calm down. I just discovered that this chat has a red envelope feature—but it only works with gold."
"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll toss some out. Gotta rack up some good karma for my future daughter!"
"You have a red envelope waiting to be claimed!"
Alex smirked as he scrolled through the ridiculous thread. Classic Tony—it was totally in character. He hadn't even had a chance to explore the group chat features before Tony found the red envelope function.
Of course, not taking free money would be a crime in itself. If you weren't scrambling to grab red envelopes, something was seriously wrong with you.
Alex tapped to claim one.
A chunk of gold, about the size of a finger, appeared in his hand. He gave it a weigh—roughly 30 grams. That was about two grand on the market.
Why gold? Probably because this group chat pulled members from different universes and timelines. And gold, as a stable and rare metal, had universal value across most of them.
It was a surprisingly logical feature for such a chaotic system.
As the flood of comments praising Tony filled the chat, Alex joined in.
Be My Family:
"The boss is generous!"
Lil' Jackass:
"Unblocked at last! Thanks, boss. Tony, you need a wife? I can be a girl for you if it helps!"
Lil' Jackass:
"Wait, who asked for help just now? It wasn't the Hammer God, was it? Must've been Alex's new buddy. Bet he's great with a hammer. Post pics!"
The Food Delivery Guy:
"You guys are savages. Someone's begging for help and you're all just standing around mocking him."
Strive To Be Better:
"Hey Pietro, love your nickname. If I had your speed, I'd be filthy rich doing deliveries too!"
Naughty Spider-Man:
"Wait—shouldn't we be doing something to help Thor? Is it really okay to just sit back?"
So Poor That He Only Has Money Left:
"He's looking for Alex, not me. I've got nothing to do with it. Besides, I'm halfway through acquiring a baby products company. If any of you need diapers, just name-drop me—I'll hook you up with a 20% discount."
Lil' Jackass:
"I don't know if I can use them. I'm still a baby! I want baby vodka! Wahhh!"
Alex rolled his eyes. Deadpool again.
With zero hesitation, he muted him—this time bumping the ban up to 30 minutes.
Then he sent a message of his own.
Be My Family:
"Thor, you're not dead yet, are you? Come on. I believe in you. You can't beat a human?"
Just checking if Thor was still alive.
A second later, the system displayed:
"Thor has received the red envelope!"
I Am Not the Hammer God:
"I… really can't beat them. These two are brutal… You Kamen Riders are all monsters…"
Alex raised a brow. If Thor had the energy to grab a red envelope, he was definitely still alive and kicking.
But the mention of two Riders threw him off.
He had assumed Thor was fighting Kadoya Tsukasa. But it turned out both Kadoya and Kaito Daiki had teamed up on him.
So it was a tag-team beatdown. Brutal, but fair.
So Poor That He Only Has Money Left:
"There's a video feature in this chat, right? Let's take a look and see what's actually happening!"
