Thor had finally arrived! Honestly, Rimuru had been waiting for a long time.
By coming into contact with Mjolnir, Rimuru would have the opportunity to master runic magic, which was a considerable temptation for her.
However, Rimuru was not in a hurry right now.
At this moment, old man Odin was still awake and had not yet entered Odin's Sleep. If Rimuru were to approach Mjolnir now, she might just get hammered by Odin.
Although Rimuru possessed [Physical Attack Nullification], her magic resistance truly hadn't been stacked much.
Odin's power was divine power, leaning toward a sacred attribute, which was quite restrictive for Rimuru.
At this time, it was better to be more cautious.
How strong was Odin?
He was a recognized Father-level powerhouse, on the same level as the Ancient One, and once severely hammered Thanos when he didn't have the Infinity Gauntlet.
He once conquered the Nine Realms and collected the Infinity Stones, but later voluntarily gave them up.
In the Marvel Universe, there are three recognized divine powers: Phoenix Force, Chaos Magic, and Odin's Power.
The Phoenix Force is the power possessed by mutant Jean Grey; in the comics, the complete Phoenix Force has never even appeared.
Chaos Magic is the ability of Scarlet Witch Wanda.
When Wanda is conscious, she can hold off Thanos with one hand and destroy the Mind Stone on Vision's head with the other.
The more Wanda is in a comatose or berserk state, the more terrifying her power becomes.
During the House of M event, Wanda once, with a single sentence, stripped 98% of the mutants on Earth of their abilities.
And Odin's Power is on par with the two divine powers mentioned above—its might is evident.
Strictly speaking, Odin's Power should be called the Power of the King of Asgard; it was once called Bor's Power, Odin's Power, and Thor's Power.
Before Odin's demise, he warned Thor that Asgard was never a place—Asgard was its people.
After Ragnarok, Asgard was completely destroyed, but Thor's Power still existed.
Rimuru suspected that the essence of Odin's Power should be a kind of "Power of Faith."
Of course, it could also be a combination of the Asgardian royal bloodline power and the Power of Faith.
Honestly, Rimuru was still very interested in Odin's Power.
Speaking of which, if Rimuru were to drink several large bowls of Thor's fresh blood, could she analyze the root of the Asgardian royal bloodline power?
Just thinking about it felt incredibly exciting!
However, this could not be attempted rashly.
If Odin were to know that Rimuru coveted the power of the Asgardian royal family, even if he were in Odin's Sleep, he would probably jump up, grab Gungnir, and fight Rimuru to the death.
This risk was a bit high. For Rimuru to contend with a master of Odin's caliber, she would at least need to become an Awakened Demon Lord!
However, there was more than one way to obtain Odin's Power.
When Odin threw the Meow-Meow Hammer to Earth, he cast a spell: whoever possesses the qualification and can lift this hammer will gain Thor's Power.
Rimuru had some confidence in lifting the Meow-Meow Hammer!
Rimuru's body may not contain blood, but it contained a vast amount of truth, goodness, and beauty.
Furthermore, if Rimuru hadn't come to the Marvel Universe by accident, she should also be the King of the Demon Country Federation.
This was clearly the destiny of a King!
What is qualification? This is it!
However, such matters required gradual planning; haste makes waste.
New Mexico.
The hammer fell from the sky, creating a massive crater in the ground.
Despite being a very small hammer, no one could lift it.
This bizarre incident quickly fermented and attracted wave after wave of hopefuls.
Unlike the East, in the West, people have a fanatical superstition about things that cannot be lifted or pulled out.
Because this usually proves the qualification of a King!
For example, Arthur pulled out the Sword in the Stone that no one else could, thus becoming the King of England;
Thor lifted the hammer that ordinary people couldn't, thus becoming the King of Asgard!
Everyone was unexpectedly interested in this hammer.
It's like buying a lottery ticket; what if someone could lift it?
This is the difference between Eastern and Western cultures!
In the East, if one wants to prove they possess the qualification of a King, the typical operation is usually "Do not say the stone man has one eye, stir the Yellow River and the world will rebel"; or hide a few blood letters in a fish's belly, with "King Chen X" written on them; or a turtle or a qilin comes carrying a precious book.
As for a certain island nation, the qualification of a King is achieved with a single injection.
After the injection, the King's Power will gather in the right arm, and then one can pull out the Milk Sword that proves the King's qualification! (Indeed, something must be pulled out.)
Facts have proven that those who can pull out a sword will inevitably have the qualification of a King.
Because the prerequisite for pulling out a sword is that you are the child of a King, possessing the King's bloodline.
It's like a Japanese hot-blooded manga: super inspiring before reading, even more inspiring after reading.
Do you think he's an unsupervised wild child?
It turns out he's not only a prince but also the reincarnation of an ancient god—so inspiring that he bursts into tears!
When Coulson arrived, the landing site of the hammer had already become a public carnival.
There were even some shrewd people who came here to sell hot dogs and beer.
They made a fortune in no time!
Every curious person desperately tried to lift the hammer.
A certain old man, who had drunk a bottle of super-potent guarana soda last time, also came to join the fun.
He tried to pull the Meow-Meow Hammer with a pickup truck, but the truck bed was overturned, and the hammer didn't budge.
Coulson was quite experienced in handling such matters.
After some threats and intimidation, the area was smoothly taken over by S.H.I.E.L.D.
In a very short time, this desolate area became a temporary research facility.
The agents naturally didn't forget to try to lift the hammer—facts proved that agents are just agents and have nothing to do with being a King.
After extensive surveying by numerous experts, the scientists not only failed to unravel the hammer's secrets but instead understood its mystery even more deeply.
Leaving aside the hammer's unscientific weight, it was constantly emitting massive amounts of electromagnetic waves, which the system couldn't even record.
When this information was reported to Nick Fury, his hair instantly turned white with worry, even though he had no hair.
A hammer from outer space, landing on Earth, that no one can lift, and constantly emitting massive electromagnetic waves—
It was impossible not to arouse suspicion!
On Earth, hammers generally have only two uses: hammering nails and hammering people.
But whether it's hammering nails or hammering people, these are the most basic and primitive applications of a hammer.
Nick Fury did not believe that a spaceship would need such a hammer, one that could create a crater but no one could lift.
Thinking of the hammer constantly emitting electromagnetic waves, Nick Fury's first thought was—could this hammer be a disguised alien probe?
Recalling the alien invasion of New York that Rimuru had mentioned, Nick Fury's heart sank to the bottom.
His first, and only, instruction to Coulson and the staff was—no matter what, find a way to shield the hammer's electromagnetic waves!
What Nick Fury didn't know was that this command almost caused the world to be destroyed!
