Chapter 105: I Know You, You Are...

Considering the timeline, the events of "Thor" are about to begin. The Destroyer Armor, while formidable to ordinary people, is easily dealt with by him now, requiring just a few strikes of Mjölnir to overcome.

Once this issue is resolved, it will be time to return Sif to her home and deal with Loki...

However, from what the Ancient One foresaw, the Destroyer Armor likely caused significant casualties, akin to the destruction of a small town in the original story. So, it's important to stay vigilant.

Thor is uncertain when the Destroyer Armor will appear and where exactly in "Thor 1" it will manifest, given that he has been on Earth for decades.

Nonetheless, Loki is known for making a grand entrance. Sending such a powerful being to Earth on his behalf would surely involve a dramatic buildup, consistent with Loki's showy personality.

If only someone could detect it in advance...

Find an astronomer!

Thor thought about it for an hour and finally reached a conclusion.

"You were just looking for an excuse to criticize your official partner, weren't you?"

The System ruthlessly exposed Thor's intentions.

Thor: "...the system talks too much!"

In Asgard, Loki was silently counting the days.

"According to last year's timing, there should be two months left, barring any accidents!"

In two months, it will be the day of the Eye of Odin.

I, Loki, the god of mischief, want everyone to know my name!

"Jingle Bell...…"

The phone rang; it was Nick Fury, and Thor answered.

"What? You promised to let Ms. Maria Hill resign and join my command?"

Thor's first sentence almost made Nick Fury hang up, but he refrained.

"There's something very important; I hope you can assist."

"No," Thor said, already guessing that it was probably about...

Nick Fury said in a serious tone, "If you agree, Washington might reconsider your previous request."

The so-called request is definitely not as trivial as poaching Hill; the original request to join the Avengers is a significant matter.

"If you don't help, what happens if you refuse?"

Nick Fury was frustrated. He knew he couldn't come empty-handed, but he lacked the authority to agree to that condition, even as SHIELD Director.

He missed the Thor who had been helpful and proactive in "Captain Marvel"...

He didn't realize that Thor was willing to act purely to trap the Ancient One, and Carol's friendship was still valuable—her communicator was still in his possession.

As for the Hulk? Communication with the current one was not possible.

Seeing Nick Fury's predicament, Thor suddenly said, "I can offer a chip, but I need a guarantee."

Thor wanted legal assurance. As long as Washington agreed, he wouldn't mind using Mjölnir to enforce the terms if necessary.

Nick Fury was silent for a few seconds before finally nodding. "It depends on how substantial your chip is."

"Tesseract. Will that suffice?"

When the stakes are high enough, many principles become negotiable... After Nick Fury's report and some discussion, permission was granted.

"We should meet and discuss."

It was the same café as before, but this time Nick Fury brought not Maria Hill, but a young man in his twenties with an Asian appearance.

"Huh? Why the change?"

"Oh, Hill happened to be busy, so I didn't ask her to come. I just brought along the new recruit."
