Before Thor could reply, Lucas's fingers sparked with lightning, shooting at the unprepared Thor.
Zzzzt!
Caught off guard, Thor trembled from the shock.
"Lucas, what are you doing?" Thor cried out in pain.
Soon, Thor reacted and exclaimed, "Why can you also use Thunder Power?"
"Because..."
Lucas feigned deep thought and said, "Come with me."
The white glow rapidly spun, changing its destination.
Passing through the white glow, Lucas and Thor arrived on a solitary reef in the middle of the ocean.
At this moment, the sky was covered in dark clouds, with silver snake-like electric currents weaving through them, forming a dense electrical net.
"Thor, you asked me why I can control thunder. I'll tell you now."
Lucas extended his hand towards the sky, activating his talent, Energy Absorption.
The silver snakes in the clouds seemed to find a target. Countless bolts of lightning roared, twisted, and rushed down from the sky.
In the blink of an eye, they struck the unprepared Lucas.
Boom!
The thunder followed, but Thor seemed not to hear it.
He saw bolts of lightning wildly moving across Lucas's body, constantly releasing their power, yet these lightning bolts could not harm Lucas in the slightest.
Thor stared at Lucas, lost in a daze. Even he, without any defense, could not be completely immune to lightning damage.
And a scene that made Thor even more terrified soon appeared.
Lucas took a deep breath, and the lightning snakes on his body poured into his mouth and nose, disappearing inside him. It seemed as if Lucas's body had directly absorbed them.
Who exactly was the God of Thunder?
"Lucas, how did you do that?!" Thor asked again.
"Practice makes perfect." Lucas said, solemnly spouting nonsense.
"As long as you get struck by lightning enough times, you'll naturally master it. To become familiar with the power of thunder, I get struck by natural lightning for a hundred hours every day without any protection, and by artificial high-voltage electricity for another hundred hours."
"Lucas, there are only 24 hours in a day."
"That's not important, what's important is that you need to be familiar with thunder to control it." Lucas interrupted Thor.
He almost blurted out a modified version of Saitama's training method.
"Getting struck by lightning won't make you the God of Thunder." Thor whispered.
The countless enemies he had eliminated with his Thunder Power could attest to that.
Lucas looked directly into Thor's eyes and said, "Thor, ordinary people won't become the God of Thunder by getting struck by lightning because they don't inherently possess that potential."
"But you are different. You are the Asgardian God of Thunder. Within you, there is a vast amount of Asgardian Thunder Power. Getting struck by lightning can better guide the power within you."
"Really?" Thor was skeptical.
He could indeed feel a surging power within him, but after losing his hammer, he didn't know how to unleash it.
"Thor, practice is the sole criterion for testing truth. Whether it's true or false, we'll know with one try."
Lucas grabbed Thor's shoulder and once again activated his talent, drawing down the lightning from the sky.
This time, under Lucas's control, all the lightning struck Thor.
And Lucas was like an insulator. Not a single trace of electrical power was transmitted to him through his hand that held Thor's shoulder.
Crackle!
Electric arcs wildly moved and burst on Thor's body. His lion-like golden hair instantly turned into an afro, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
After a moment, he recovered.
Lucas was not surprised that Thor was afraid of electricity. He had just shocked him.
He was now only concerned if Thor had made any progress in controlling the Thunder Power within him.
"How is it, Thor? Do you feel the Thunder Power within you starting to stir, as if it's eagerly waiting to burst forth from your body?"
Whoosh!
Thor exhaled a puff of black smoke, shaking his head with a somewhat bewildered expression.
Although he looked a bit disheveled from the lightning strikes, with his divine power protecting him, he hadn't sustained any actual harm. However, he also didn't feel any movement from the Thunder Power within him, only a slight tingling sensation in his body.
"That shouldn't be?" Lucas frowned.
He hadn't grabbed Thor's shoulder for no reason. When the lightning struck, he had sensed the flow of divine power within Thor through his contact with him.
In his perception, the Thunder Power within Thor had been activated by the external lightning. Thor had even absorbed a portion of the lightning energy and stored it within his body.
"Come, let's try again."
Before Thor could react, Lucas once again drew down the lightning.
He believed that quantitative change could lead to qualitative change. As long as Thor was struck by lightning enough times, he would surely awaken his Thunder Power.
For a time, countless bolts of lightning continuously struck this solitary rock in the sea.
To ensure Thor's cooperation and persistence, Lucas occasionally used his talent, Energy Absorption, to activate the divine power within him, giving him an illusion.
An illusion that the Thunder Power within him was becoming increasingly active, ready to roar forth at any moment.
Without this enticing illusion, Lucas worried that Thor would give up. After all, although the lightning had caused no substantial harm under the protection of the Thunder Power within him, the pain was unavoidable.
Of course, the most important thing was that Thor's lion-like golden hair gradually turned to charcoal and fell out under the continuous bombardment of lightning.
In other words, Thor became bald.
And Thor's long persistence finally paid off.
After an unknown amount of time, the Thunder Power bursting from within gradually climbed into Thor's pupils, dyeing his eyes a bright silver color.
Thor raised his right hand, gathering the lightning descending from the sky into his hand, and struck the reef below his feet.
Boom!
Thunder roared, and lightning snakes danced wildly.
The reef below shattered in response, and the lightning spread out, extending for dozens of miles.
Fortunately, due to the stormy weather, nearby fish had already left this sea area or dived deeper. Otherwise, after Thor's fish-frying spree, he would likely leave behind a terrifying legend among the fish folk.
"Thor, congratulations. You have finally succeeded in unleashing the Thunder Power within you." Lucas said with a smile.
Thor, having awakened his Thunder Power, was now qualified to be a good tool.
"Thank you, Lucas. Without your help, I wouldn't have awakened my Thunder Power so quickly."
Thor reined in his aura, put away his battle armor, and changed back into ordinary clothes.
Earlier, to avoid indecent exposure, he had no choice but to put on his battle armor.
"You're welcome."
Looking at Thor's bald head, Lucas suppressed a laugh and said, "Anyway, my help to you also comes with conditions."
