Saul was in a daze.
One can imagine the pressure he was under after being repeatedly abused by a mortal.
Especially when he saw that his beloved hammer ignored him and instead lay obediently in the man's hands for him to play with as he pleased, his heart was bleeding.
If he can't even protect his own hammer, how can he protect the people of Asgard?
No wonder my father was so disappointed in him! I am not worthy of being king at all! A series of thoughts came to his mind, and he completely collapsed.
So when Tony's fist finally landed, he burst into tears.
Only after the other person disappeared from his sight did he gradually calm down, but the disappointment in his heart could not be erased.
Like a ravaged wild dog, he lay on the ground in despair.
A teasing voice suddenly came from behind: "Not crying anymore?"
Thor suddenly stood up and saw the devil-like man.
His fists clenched involuntarily, but knowing the difference between the two sides, he loosened his fists dejectedly and said hoarsely: "What do you want me to return my weapon?"
Tony shrugged and threw the hammer in his hand over.
Thor caught it.
The familiar touch and the surging sense of power that followed almost made Thor cry for joy. He gently stroked the hammer with his other hand, and suddenly he had the urge to swing the hammer and beat the man in front of him up.
But when faced with Tony's half-smile, his expression became depressed again.
He was not the kind of person who did not know what was good for him. The other party had already returned the hammer to him.
The most important thing is that he is not sure whether the Thor's hammer in his hand will really change its mind. What if the other party just hooks it and abandons him, then he will cry again.
Seeing him hesitating there, Tony's smile became more meaningful.
He suddenly remembered what Su Luo had said earlier, straightened his back, stood with his hands behind his back, and said in a masterly manner: "I took your hammer just to make you understand a truth."
"You are the God of Thunder, not the God of Hammer!"
Thor's whole body was shocked, and suddenly something seemed to explode in his brain.
The hand holding Thor's hammer began to tremble slightly. After a long while, he said seriously, "I understand!"
His tone became excited: "This hammer is called Thor's Hammer because I use it, not because I use Thor's Hammer that I am called Thor!"
"Thank you for your guidance. Which ancient god are you?" He stared at Tony and felt that the other's figure became inexplicably taller.
Could he be the reincarnation of his father? Tony glanced at the hammer in his hand and thought to himself, you understand, but you don't even know how to give the hammer back to me.
But thinking that the hammer originally belonged to the other party, and that he had repeatedly bullied him and made him cry, he immediately waved his hands and said, "I'm not a god."
"But," he said instead, "I have something that even the gods are interested in."
Thor narrowed his eyes, looking skeptical.
Thinking of the terrifying strength Tony had displayed and his mysterious methods, he had more trust in him.
"Gods can die too, right?" Tony asked.
This is what he heard from Su Luo.
Su Luo made this judgment based on the fact that the world Tony lives in belongs to the movie universe, not the comics, and there is no reincarnation for the gods of Asgard.
Essentially, they are just aliens with greater power and longer lifespans.
"What?" Thor asked.
"Your father is old now," Tony said calmly, "Do you want to watch him grow old and inherit the throne from him, or let him live another hundred, thousand, or even ten thousand years?"
Thor's face changed slightly as he realized what Tony was thinking.
He asked solemnly: "Do you have a method to prolong life?"
Tony then handed over the wine in his hand and said with a smile: "Drink it first."
Thor took the wine, looked at the man opposite him first, then lowered his head to smell the rich aroma of wine.
After a moment's hesitation, he tilted his head back and drank it.
As soon as he drank the wine, he felt the changes in his body.
With surging vitality lingering in his body, his lifespan had obviously increased.
Thor's expression changed several times, and he finally asked in surprise: "Who are you?"
There are treasures in this world that can prolong life, but each one is of infinite value, otherwise the people of Asgard would not watch their king grow old and die.
Such a precious item was given to him casually by the other party, which inevitably made him feel wary.
Tony pointed to the advertising screen not far away and asked, "You should have seen me on TV."
Thor frowned and said nothing.
Tony raised his chin and said, "Since you don't know, let me introduce myself again."
"I am Tony Stark, Iron Man, the greatest scientist in the universe, proficient in both Eastern and Western mysticism..."
"Let's talk about you first." Tony blinked. "Every day your father lives longer, you will inherit the throne one day later. Maybe you will never become the king of Asgard."
Thor snorted coldly: "We are not like humans who only know how to fight among themselves!"
Tony curled his lips and said, "Are you serious about this nonsense?"
"Don't you know that your dear brother has already sat on the throne and is still hunting you down?"
"And your sister, Hela, who is known as the goddess of death, was suppressed by your father himself!"
Thor looked at him in surprise and suspicion, but when he heard Hela, he became confused again.
Tony laughed and said, "I almost forgot that your father is still hiding the fact that you have a sister."
“But you can go ask him. Hela is much more powerful than you and is now imprisoned in the Death Realm!”
"What on earth do you want to do?"
At this moment, Thor was really scared.
The person in front of him has a mysterious origin and knows so many secrets that he is not aware of. What is his purpose?
"Like I said, I'm a scientist and I like to collect some interesting research materials." Tony smiled.
Seeing that Thor was still skeptical, he continued, "I can give you something that can prolong your life, and even make you stronger than your father, but you have to exchange it for something of equal value."
"Exchange?" Thor was stunned.
"Yes," Tony said seriously, "For example, your father's Eternal Spear, and the Ice Box, Cosmic Cube, and Eternal Flame hidden in your treasure house...including your brother's weapons."
"By the way, the material of the life-extending item in my hand is very demanding. If you want it to work better, you need some blood from your father and others."
At this point, he pointed to the empty wine glass in Thor's hand: "For example, this glass of wine contains the essence of your own blood."
"Oh, and the corpses of your enemies would be great things on Earth. I'll give you a good price for them!"
Thor frowned.
He was quite tempted in his heart.
Compared to inheriting the throne, he didn't want to see his father leave.
"Why?" he asked.
He vaguely realized that the person in front of him obviously had good intentions.
Asgard is not alone.
That shameless younger brother is a more suitable trading partner than him.
"It's your fault that you're a crybaby!" Tony shrugged helplessly.
Thor suddenly clenched his hammer and wanted to smash the other person's mouth again.
Tony didn't care.
Now he is not afraid of this Thunder God at all.
But there is still a problem.
It would be bad if this guy really got irritated and started to doubt his sincerity.
He still needs the treasures of Asgard.
"Just kidding," he laughed, "I can tell you more secrets."
"What?" Thor asked with a dark face.
It is such a disgrace that this stupid and arrogant guy actually called himself a crybaby.
If he really couldn't beat him, he would definitely pin him to the ground and make him call him daddy.
"According to the original history, we will become teammates and protect this planet together." Tony said, "My crybaby friend."
Afterwards, he told what he had learned from Su Luo about the formation of the Avengers, and also mentioned Loki and Thanos.
"Your brother, that little troublemaker, is nothing to be afraid of. You just need to be careful not to let him fall off the Rainbow Bridge this time, and then imprison him and keep a close eye on him. The trouble is the purple potato demon..."
After hearing Tony speak so proudly, Thor wanted to question him, but he could just tell him directly that everything he said was true.
"How do you know this?" He looked extremely serious.
Of course Tony wouldn't tell the truth.
He smiled and said, "One day you'll know."
"If we can really be friends," he added.
