Upon hearing Thor's first words, Steve and Tony weren't too surprised, but when they heard the last part, they exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
Steve frowned and asked, "Your kin?"
"Brother?"
"Another Asgardian, one of the legendary gods?"
Although Steve didn't believe the person in front of him was a god, nor did he think the one Thor mentioned was a god, he didn't argue and continued the conversation.
In the distance, Loki, who was eavesdropping on their conversation, narrowed his eyes, instantly recalling the figure dressed in white who had once shown signs of divine power.
Whatever crossed his mind, his expression grew complicated, filled with jealousy and disappointment...
At that moment.
"Hey," Tony shrugged, "Another actor?"
Tony, never one to care about the mystical, remained a staunch atheist despite all the supernatural events he'd encountered. In his view, even supernatural forces had a scientific basis, just that no one had figured it out yet.
As for gods, he didn't believe in them at all.
The presence of Thor and Loki only reinforced this belief.
How could gods be so weak?
Tony guessed that this so-called Asgardian race was probably just extraterrestrials, not gods at all.
"You!" Thor's eyes flared in anger at Tony's words.
Steve glanced at Tony, signaling him to hold off on speaking.
"Let's put aside the question of your kin for now and focus on Loki," Steve said in a serious tone. "You say you're here to stop Loki's schemes? Prove it to me. Put down your hammer first."
When Steve said this, he wasn't thinking much about it. To him, putting down a weapon was a sign of goodwill.
He didn't consider any ulterior motives, like disarming the opponent to defeat them. His words were sincere.
However, while his intentions were simple, Thor didn't see it that way, and even Tony sensed something.
"Oh, no..." Tony was about to say that asking Thor to put down his hammer wasn't a good idea when Thor, in a fit of anger, swung Mjolnir at him, sending Tony flying.
Boom! Tony crashed into a tree.
At that moment.
"You want me to put down my hammer?" Thor glared at Steve.
Like an enraged bull, Thor leaped high with Mjolnir raised, ready to strike.
As Thor approached, Steve half-crouched and raised his shield.
In the next second, the hammer collided with the shield! Boom! The hammer flashed white, lightning erupted, carrying immense kinetic energy.
But it wasn't enough to destroy the vibranium shield.
The lightning and kinetic energy struck the shield and were immediately reflected back.
Boom, boom, boom! A whirlwind of energy swept through the area, toppling trees and filling the air with dust.
Thor was sent flying, crashing to the ground.
As the dust settled, the three of them struggled to their feet.
"You!" Thor grumbled, filled with frustration.
At this moment, he felt powerless, whether against the man in the metal suit or the one with the shield.
What kind of shield could reflect attacks?
"An actor, huh? Looks like you can't beat him."
Seeing Thor's disheveled state, Tony couldn't resist a sarcastic remark, "Is this what gods are? You claim to be some Asgardian god?"
"Are gods this weak?" "You should change careers. Acting suits you better than being a god."
Thor seethed with rage, wishing he could smash the metal man's mouth shut.
But Tony's words did indeed make him feel a deep sense of loss.
Despite being an Asgardian god, he was struggling against two mortals...
As Thor was feeling down and angry, a round of applause echoed through the silent forest.
"Hmm?"
"Who's there?"
Thor, Steve, Tony, and even Loki, who had chosen to stay hidden instead of fleeing, all froze
at that moment.
Instinctively, they turned towards the source of the sound.
Not far away, on a tree branch, sat a figure shrouded in mystery. It was impossible to tell how
long he'd been watching.
The thought of it sent chills down their spines.
But more importantly, both Thor and Steve, as well as Tony, noticed the figure's attire.
He was dressed in a way that was hard to describe.
Completely black. No, it wasn't just black; it was as if they couldn't see any color at all.
Like a black hole, no light could reflect off the figure's clothing, making him appear as a void,
like the night sky.
Moreover, his face was hidden in shadow, vague and indistinct, as if the night itself had
draped a veil over him.
In short, the figure was utterly mysterious, impossible to discern who or what he was.
Observing them, Syd's lips curled into a slight smile.
The figure in the tree was indeed Syd. To conceal his identity, he had used the abilities granted by his divine power to disperse light from his clothes, preventing any light from
touching them.
This was why Thor and the others saw him as wearing black, yet not, giving him a strange
appearance.
Who is this person?
Tony and the others grew wary.
Glancing at them, Syd's gaze finally rested on Thor, and his voice, altered to sound different,
slowly echoed out.
"I think he's right, Thor. You don't seem like a god."
Before Thor could show his anger, he heard something that left him stunned.
Like a prophecy, the mysterious figure's voice reverberated through the air.
"Are you the god of thunder or just the god of hammers? Without the hammer, you can't
unleash your divine power?"
"The true power lies within you, yet you never seek to unlock it..."
"When you lose the hammer, you'll realize that it doesn't define you..."
Listening to the mysterious figure, Thor felt a bit indignant, wanting to retort, but he
couldn't find the words.
At that moment, he heard one more sentence that left him in shock.
