A Taste of the Side Effect

Thor's stupid action amused Li Yue, but also surprised him.

Thor's control on his power as the God of Thunder had been quite rough, far from the level of control that he just displayed!

According to the original timeline, it wasn't until the third Avengers movie that Thor could control his divine power and unleash his greatest potential!

And even then, it wasn't to the point that he could freely transform the shape of his lightning!

Fine tuning of his power couldn't directly translate to combat prowess, but there would still be unexpected benefits.

Li Yue would know; he could only imitate the moves from Dragon Ball that shouldn't have existed in this reality due to his fine control over his power. Although it was still far cry from the original power level!

In the original timeline, Thor had only ever use his power over thunder by attaching it to his weapons or summoning it directly on a target!

Those attacks looked cool and very cinematic, but the actual output was relatively weak. Not to mention, most of the energy of the attacks were wasted in the process, so the efficiency was further lowered.

But the energy ball that Thor had just eaten, the one that he said had no taste, contained far more power than a full-strength attack from Thor plus Stormbreaker in the third Avengers movie!

Most importantly, the fine control would allow Thor to be free from the "Warrior" class. He no longer had to fight the enemy directly with weapons, but he could attack from the distance as a "Mage!"

...

"Haha, sorry to keep you waiting."

While Li Yue was preoccupied with his thoughts, Thor had left the room and excitedly greeted everyone.

Of course, Tony had to deactivate the Dark Room mode first.

"Thor, how do you feel? Do you feel anything strange?"

The Captain's voice was filled with worry. Thor had just taken the serum, after all, and there were too many unanticipated events that followed it.

"Of course I'm fine! I've never felt better! I can clearly feel that my body is full of power, and I can control it perfectly however I wish. It's incredible!

"The serum was indeed very painful as it was administered, but it was nothing for an Asgardian warrior like me! And I already feel that my body is much stronger than before!

"The pain was absolutely worth it!"

Thor was extremely excited. He could clearly feel that his body was much stronger than before! Compared to the rapid increase of strength, the little pain was nothing!

"Haha, Li Yue, did you see it just now? I can catch up to you now!"

Thor immediately went to brag to Li Yue!

Thor had repeatedly tried to replicate Li Yue's dense lightning ball in secret ever since the time he saw it in Odin's Vault. Unfortunately, his control of his divine power was much too crude, so he couldn't quite do it!

He couldn't even focus the lightning in his palm without it dissipating.

Thor had been quite discouraged by this situation, but he never thought that his wish would come true today.

He had never paid attention about the serum, after all, so Thor felt like a golden lottery ticket had fallen from the sky!

"Well, well, Thor, if you're alright, shall we talk about how you just destroyed my villa's roof?"

Li Yue was a little speechless at Thor's bragging, but before he could say anything, Tony suddenly interrupted with a demon-like smile!

"This... uh... sorry, I suddenly feel a little pain in my stomach. I need to go to the bathroom!"

Just as Thor was thinking of how to escape Tony's wrath, he suddenly felt a pain in his abdomen.

It was an unusual, explosive pain, as if a volcanic eruption is tearing the earth apart! Thor didn't dare wait for even a second longer, afraid that even a moment would end in an—

"Urk!"

Thor quickly ran outside while holding his stomach, leaving behind a trail of weird sounds and indescribably pungent smell!

Thor's speed was so fast that it might have broken through his limit, a feat that he might never surpass in the future!

"Jarvis, direct Thor to the nearest bathroom in the villa! Nothing good would happen if he couldn't hold it! Also, replace the air in this room—his fart was so smelly!"

Tony ordered Jarvis while covering his mouth and nose!

"What's wrong with him? It didn't seem like he was just avoiding your question."

Li Yue also held his breath to avoid the smell! He was a little curious: Thor did not look like he was pretending.

If he was pretending, there wasn't any need to go so far as to use divine power to accelerate his legs!

The others also covered their noses in an instant, finding it hard to breathe!

Thor disappeared like a lightning without even finishing his sentence! They could all guess what made Thor leave in a hurry!

They could only imagine how bad Thor's situation was, with his speed!

"Haha, it's fine. This is normal. It's just a side effect from the serum. It seem to have successfully enhanced his physique and his ability to summon lightning!

"But it was technically a failure, so he would have to go to the toilet immediately! He did a good job holding on. I thought he would go to the bathroom right after exiting the room!"

The air in the room was finally refreshed, and Tony explained Thor's situation in detail!

"Hah, just consider it a small payback for destroying my villa!"

Tony recalled the little white mouse that he experimented on. Its condition was very similar to Thor! Considering how the little mouse struggled, Tony could only pray for Thor silently!

I hope he can survive these trying times!

...

"Uh... Stark, if the serum failed on me, would that also happen to me?"

Captain America looked at where Thor had disappeared to with a concerned expression, and then asked to Tony with an uncomfortable voice! He had hoped that Tony would give him a negative answer, but expectations rarely match with reality!

"Sorry to tell you this, Cap, but with your physique, I think you'd have even worse time than Thor!

"So, you have to think about it carefully. Do you still want the serum? I can guarantee you, there is no other danger besides this side effect!"

Tony ruthlessly tore down Captain America's last hope, and the Captain's expression instantly darkened!

Even with Thor's powerful physique, he was unable to endure the "volcano that sunders the heavens and earth." He was a little doubtful that he could reach the bathroom in time!

"Bring it on!"

Despite the fear from such horrifying possibility, Captain America was not the type to retreat! He gritted his teeth, as if preparing for battle, and entered the experiment chamber!
