Luca, holding Thor's hammer, was pondering how to secretly get his hands on it.
But Thor couldn't stand it anymore.
Whether he was distressed about his precious hammer or simply felt Luca was dawdling too much, he urged directly.
"Hey, kid, are you gonna lift it or not?"
As soon as these words came out, several other humans watching the fun immediately cast strange glances at Luca.
Tony Stark even chimed in with a laugh.
"Pencil Baby, if you can't lift it, let Uncle Tony do it~"
While speaking, Tony actually took a few steps forward, obviously having some curiosity about Thor's hammer for a long time.
But since things had reached this point, Luca couldn't just let go and give up his spot, so he stopped him decisively.
"No, you guys go busy yourselves with serious business. I'm just about to start!"
Saying this, Luca rolled up his sleeve directly, exposing his mechanical arm, and assumed a posture of exerting force.
However, he naturally understood the wonders of Mjolnir. It had long been enchanted by Odin, the King of Gods; only those who were worthy could lift it and gain the power of Thor.
Luca didn't think he possessed the noble qualities of Captain America, so naturally, he wanted to find another way, using some crooked means.
Luca remembered someone discussing in his previous life that although Mjolnir couldn't be lifted by unworthy people, if placed on a thoughtless machine like an elevator, it could still follow up and down as if light as a feather, without crushing the elevator.
The Tuxedo stimulates my muscles to move on their own, so it probably won't be effective.
But if I'm not lifting Mjolnir, and it's just the mechanical arm moving by itself, could I lift it?
Do it as soon as he thought of it.
Luca rested his elbow on the table for leverage, relaxed his whole body, and only his mechanical right hand gripped the handle of Mjolnir firmly, assuming a posture similar to arm wrestling.
Then he directly activated the healing ability of [Sweet Surrender].
You should know that while the healing ability was activated, the internal transmission joint rods of this mechanical arm would move uncontrollably on their own.
Immediately, a faint sound of mechanism movement came from Luca's arm.
At this time, everyone focused their attention on Luca's movements.
The next moment, sure enough, Mjolnir trembled slightly as if being pushed.
However, before a look of surprise could appear on Luca's face...
The originally feather-light Mjolnir suddenly became as difficult to shake as a mountain.
Luca only felt his hand sink.
Then came a crack sound!
The mechanical arm failed to shake the hammer body. Instead, due to the reaction force of the transmission rod, it instantly embedded into the tabletop.
The entire glass coffee table shattered with a loud crash.
Glass shards scattered all over the floor with a clatter. Not only did Luca stagger, but Haro also fell to the ground.
However, Mjolnir, which was originally placed on the table, didn't fall to the ground. Instead, it floated in the air and shook its handle on its own.
As if mocking Luca for overestimating his capabilities.
It wasn't until then that Luca realized.
Right, although it's a hammer, Mjolnir actually has its own consciousness. Even if this little trick bypassed the first check, the hammer itself can completely refuse to be lifted by me.
Actually, what Luca didn't know was... seeing that he could make his precious hammer tremble slightly just now...
Thor's heart trembled nervously along with it, and cold sweat almost broke out on his back.
Fortunately, Mjolnir was reliable enough in the end, saving him from losing face.
Thor reached out and summoned Mjolnir back to his hand, then grinned at Luca.
"How about it, kid? Want to try again?"
But Luca didn't answer Thor's question immediately. Instead, looking at the glass debris on the floor, he said politely to Tony, who was watching the show from the side.
"Sorry, Mr. Stark, your table..."
Before he could finish, he was interrupted directly by Tony Stark, who waved his hand indifferently.
"Don't worry about these. But..."
"Kid Luca, where's the arm I gave you?"
Saying this, Tony stared unblinkingly at Luca's still trembling mechanical arm, with an indescribably strange look on his face.
Although the arm given to Luca didn't use overly high-end technology...
Considering that a young man like Luca might care about external image, Tony spent effort to make the mechanical arm as realistic as a real arm.
Who knew, this kid didn't use the realistic arm he gave him, but got a brand-new mechanical arm from somewhere else.
Hmm, although it doesn't look as good as the one I made, it's not ugly.
But why add so many flashy functions? Glowing green?? Does this kid have chunibyo or something?
At this moment, Tony's mind had drifted to the aesthetics of young people.
On the other hand, Gwen beside him blushed and turned her head away upon seeing Luca's mechanical arm trembling back and forth.
Hearing this, a flash of embarrassment crossed Luca's face.
Arm... isn't this it?
The mechanical arm Tony gave him had long been consumed by Luca as material for [Sweet Surrender], so naturally, he couldn't take it out now.
He could only fabricate a reason randomly.
"The arm Mr. Stark gave was very useful. But I was very curious about the structure of the arm, so I took it apart completely according to the data you gave, made some small modifications myself, and remade this new arm."
As soon as these words came out, not only Tony but even Dr. Banner beside him cast curious glances.
Earlier, Tony had mentioned to him that this boy named Luca seemed to be a good genius.
However, being able to make such an exquisite mechanical arm at such a young age meant achievements not only in mechanical engineering but presumably also remarkable understanding in neurology and electronic information technology.
At this time, Luca also saw the curious look in Dr. Banner's eyes.
Afraid that he would continue to ask questions about the mechanical arm, he decisively changed the topic and said to Thor.
"Mr. Thor, can you let me try your hammer one more time?"
As soon as Luca said this, sure enough, everyone's attention returned to the hammer.
However, at this time, Thor actually didn't really want to let the kid in front of him try again. What if he really lifted it...
But for the sake of face, he had to pretend not to care, put the hammer back on the ground generously, and turned to say to Tony and the others.
"Try as you like. If you want, you guys can come and try too."
However, as soon as he said this, a gleam of cunning flashed in Luca's eyes.
He immediately ordered Haro, who had been "playing dead" since entering the door.
"Haro, you go try~"
