The scientists were confused and looked at Eldrin.
Clap!
"Pack it up guys, The Emo Magician has lost it, this guy cannot be Thor; he cannot even beat a single super soldier" said Tony Stark, clearly not convinced.
But Thor did not appreciate the insult''I will have you know, I'm one of the strongest Asgardians. "
"He speaks the truth, Thor is the second Strongest Asgardian only weaker than Odin himself" said Eldrin, and then turned to Thor" But apparently you have been stripped of your strength. "
Thor nodded as regret washed over him, but then he remembered his purpose for coming here, and said to Eldrin''Now if you don't mind, I've got to regain what rightfully belongs to me"
Thor then walked towards the hammer.
Tony was about to stop him when Eldrin said, " There's no need to interfere, just watch"
Thor, already having grabbed the hammer with confidence tried to lift it.
Hhm!
Hhm!
But it was futile; the hammer did not move whatsoever.
"May I try?" asked Eldrin curiously, who now stood beside Thor.
But Thor said with a serious expression.
"You may try, but to lift this hammer you need to be wor-"
Thor could not finish his sentence due to the immense shock from what he was seeing.
Eldrin had already lifted the unliftable hammer, inspecting it and testing its weight by swinging it.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Each Swing had enough power to cause gusts of wind.
Eldrin then turned towards Thor and said''A remarkable weapon indeed''
Thud!
Eldrin gently put down the Hammer and said seriously to Thor.
"From what I understand, to wield this hammer you need to have a noble heart"
He then asked.
"Did something happen that corrupted your heart, making you unworthy to wield it?"
Thor's eyes widened as he remembered the last words his father spoke.
"Through your arrogance and stupidity, you have opened these peaceful realms and innocent lives to the horror of desolation of war, YOU ARE UNWORTHY OF THESE REALMS, YOU ARE UNWORTHY OF YOUR TITLE, YOU ARE UNWORTHY!!"
Eldrin looked at the downcast Thor, who was now walking away and shook his head, but then his gaze froze as he spotted something on the ground: it was a few drops of blood.
He turned to look at the scientist and said''If possible, please collect those few drops of blood, they will be invaluable"
One of the scientists rushed out, carefully collecting the blood and putting it in a vial.
3 days later~
May 1 2011
Mexico, just like the other countries has been completely transformed into a futuristic city, improving the living conditions of everyone living here, one of the many benefits of being part of the human empire.
A lone figure could be seen walking while looking around in awe at the passing floating electromagnetic cars, motorcycles, and even buses, if you look for long enough in the sky, you could occasionally see giant spaceships flying toward the stratosphere.
And it wasn't only the technology that astonished him, but the people too; they all looked like models, tall, strong, beautiful, handsome, the ugliest he had seen were still above average, and absolutely no one was fat here.
Note:97% of humans in the human empire have been enhanced.
They looked and felt vastly superior to the humans of the past from the last time he had visited.
"What in the nine realms happened here" muttered Thor in shock.
But a familiar voice answered.
"Such a change is due to the unity of the whole of humanity, what you're seeing now is one of the many things that have changed"
Thor looked at the familiar man beside him, unfazed by his sudden appearance and said.
"It's you again, strange man, I must admit, I'm impressed by humanity's progress, but I have travelled many worlds and many realms, I have seen civilizations with power beyond even humanity's current understanding"
Eldrin answered with understanding.
"That is indeed true, although our power has grown, it's still inefficient, perhaps it could take a few more decades for us to possess enough power to defend ourselves from the civilizations you speak of"
Thor thought that was unlikely, but he did not speak his thoughts out loud and asked.
"You seem like a strong warrior, although gentle, you seem to hold immense ruthlessness too,i have lived for more than a thousand years which is why I can tell"and after a moment he asked.
"What is your name?"
"You could call me Eldrin"
Thor nodded, but then turned to look with wide Eyes at four figures clad in Asgardian armour, looking around as if searching for someone, and Thor shouted with joy towards them.
"Fandral, Hogun, Volstagg, Sif, what are you doing here?!"
The four people clad in armour rushed towards Thor when they saw him, giving him a brotherly hug.
As they hugged, Thor said seriously.
"You shouldn't have come here; you committed treason"
But one of the warriors who was a young woman called Stif said.
"That is not important, you would do that for us too" but then she remembered something and said seriously.
"Loki has taken over the throne"
When Thor heard that, his gaze grew serious and asked''What about father''
Stiff answered with a solemn tone.
"He fell into slumber, leaving only Loki himself to take over Asgard"
Suddenly, the city's force field activated due to a hurricane of unknown origin near the desert.
In New Mexico's biggest headquarters of the human empire.
Futuristic aircrafts of all kinds could be seen departing towards the location of the hurricane.
Inside one of them, were 100 Spartans equipped with Sleek futuristic arc reactor-powered firearms.
The leader looked around at the sitting Spartans and said"Get ready for combat" but then looked at the distant hurricane being constantly struck by the military's arc-powered cannons.
"Though it might not be necessary"
Back to where Thor is at.
"LOKI!!" Shouted Thor in anger as he looked towards the familiar hurricane.
Thor then turned towards Eldrin and said in a serious tone.
"Eldrin, evacuate your people as fast as possible, I will hold back the destroyer" said Thor with a Steel resolve.
Eldrin wanted to tell Thor that it was unnecessary, knowing humanity's current capabilities, but held back, knowing that this was Thor's chance to regain his powers''I'm afraid that's not possible, all our manpower is currently focused on the threat, leaving us no time to speed up evacuation''Eldrin lied.
But Thor had already started running towards the Destroyer, determined to protect the people of this realm.
As he was running, he spotted a particularly futuristic bike and muttered, " That will do''
Minutes after, he reached the edge of the barrier riding through a hole in it which was purposely opened By Eldrin.
WHOSH!
Thud!
A flying hammer landed in Thor's hand, causing the man to start emitting Thunder from all over his body.
