"This question reveals an extremely important message," Steve Rogers said solemnly. "I think we all know what it means. The New York Battle has not been avoided, and we still need to prepare for it."
"When you mention preparation, Ivan Vanko actually gave me an idea," Tony Stark spoke up. "When I developed the armor, it was for myself, so I didn't consider the idea of remote-controlled armor. But if we are facing a large-scale alien invasion like the one in the New York Battle, I can develop an army of unmanned combat suits."
"That's a great idea," Bruce Banner said. "This way, even if we end up facing nuclear bombs in the future, you won't need to risk yourself. Let those unmanned suits handle it."
"Facing nuclear bombs?" Tony Stark said, "Isn't the Chitauri portal opened above Stark Tower? I can set up a nuclear bomb there, and when the portal opens, I'll launch the bomb straight in."
"Stark, forget about that idea," Bruce Banner shook his head, "Even if you have a doomsday reason, the United States won't allow you to install a nuclear bomb in your own home."
"I was just kidding," Tony Stark said, "Even if those bureaucrats agree, I wouldn't want to do it. If I really had a nuclear bomb in my home, I'd have 180 pairs of eyes watching me day and night. It would be so annoying. Besides, it wouldn't be a problem to have Jarvis deliver the bomb with an unmanned combat suit."
"Everyone, don't be so pessimistic," Thor interjected, "Believe me, I will find Loki and stop him from making any mistakes. The future won't return to what it was, and the New York Battle won't happen."
"Thor, think back to the video in the quiz space," Steve Rogers said, "Loki taking the throne, Loki's failure, Loki falling into the abyss, Loki's death, and Loki invading New York. Except for the final step of invading New York, every other step has happened, and it aligns with your current timeline. Now you're telling me that the last step will change?"
"I know, but we are different from the version in the video. The video version of us didn't have the quiz space's intervention, so they didn't know the future. We do, and that's why we can change it," Thor said firmly.
[Question nine begins, please prepare.]
[Among the following characters, who can't lift Thor's hammer?]
[A) Jane Foster]
[B) Natasha Romanoff, Black Widow]
[C) Vision]
[D) Bruce Banner, the Hulk]
[Answer this question correctly, and you'll be rewarded with the "Thunder Transformed into a Horse" technique, which allows you to condense thunder into a horse. Riding this horse will increase your running speed by 10 times. Answer incorrectly, and you'll lose one year of lifespan.]
"Thunder Transformed into a Horse?" When this reward was announced, everyone in the quiz space felt that something was off. Tony Stark said, "It's clearly about condensing thunder into a horse, so why use the term 'thunder'?"
"Maybe it's referring to turning thunder into a gaseous state?" Bruce Banner asked Thor, "Thor, do you know how to turn thunder into gas?"
"Never heard of it," Thor said.
"Don't dwell on this. It's meaningless to discuss it now," Steve Rogers said. "We'll know how to do it when we get the 'Thunder Transformed into a Horse' technique. If we answer the question wrong, knowing what 'thunder' means won't help."
"Captain is right. We don't need to waste time discussing this here, so..." Tony Stark's gaze fell on Thor, "Thor, tell us, who can't lift your hammer?"
"Nobody can!" Thor exclaimed.
"Thor, please stop saying that only you can lift the hammer," Tony Stark hurriedly said, "We all know that's not true, no matter how much you refuse to admit it. Captain has lifted it, hasn't he?"
"But... But there are too many people who can lift it!" Thor protested, feeling indignant. "The question asks who can't lift it, which means that, besides the correct answer, the other three people can all lift my hammer. Adding Captain, there are already four people who can lift it! Is this reasonable?"
"That's really unreasonable," Tony Stark said, "After you return to Asgard, you must ask your father why your exclusive hammer has become a tail-wagging little dog for everyone to pet."
"Thor, have you ever thought about one question?" Bruce Banner spoke up at this moment.
"What question?" Thor asked.
"Have you ever thought about why the question told you there are still three people who can lift the hammer?" Bruce Banner asked.
"Why?"
"That's because the question only has four options, and it must have one correct answer, so it only tells you that three people can lift it. Thor, perhaps there are more people who can lift the hammer besides those mentioned in the options."
"No! That's impossible!"
"But Captain is a perfect example, isn't he? He can lift it, but he didn't appear in the options."
"...," Thor was speechless for a moment, then mumbled as if in a dream, "It's not possible, it's definitely not possible."
"Thor, cry later. Answer the question first," Tony Stark quietly recorded Thor's current muttering.
"As for how to lift the hammer, we've discussed it before," Thor calmed down a bit. "But we haven't found the code to lift it, just speculated that it might be related to certain qualities or spirits."
"Thor, we can't help you with this question," Steve Rogers said. "You have to rely on yourself."
"No, Captain, you already helped," Thor said. "Now that I know you can lift Mjölnir, I just need to use you as a reference and see which of the four options is least like you."
"What did you just say?" Tony Stark heard something extraordinary again. "Meow meow?"
"Mjölnir," Thor showed a "I knew you would react this way" expression, "My hammer, it's called Mjölnir."
"Why not just call it 'Hammer,' or 'Big Hammer,' or 'Mallet'?" Tony Stark said.
"You can call it whatever you like, but you still can't lift it," Thor ignored Tony Stark and started analyzing the options. "Who is this Vision? I've never heard of him before. I have no idea who he is."
"It's the same as that Doctor Strange," Bruce Banner said. "Doctor Strange has appeared in the options many times, but we still don't know who he is, and we don't even know if he's a man or a woman."
"Vision, does everyone feel that this name is strange?" Steve Rogers said.
"Indeed, it's very strange. More like a nickname than a name," Thor said.
"The problem is here. In the quiz space's questions, those with nicknames have both the nickname and the name written together," Bruce Banner said. "If Vision is a nickname, then the name should also be included, but it's not."
"So, Vision should be the name," Tony Stark said. "What a strange name."
"This name appears for the first time, and we have no information about it at all, so we can temporarily ignore it," Steve Rogers said. "Let's consider the other three options after excluding Vision."
"Besides Vision, the one who seems most like Captain is probably Dr. Banner," Thor's gaze fell on Bruce Banner, "Dr. Banner has been living in seclusion to avoid hurting others, and he even let go of his beloved woman. Dr. Banner also possesses a spirit of sacrifice. As for Natasha Romanoff, well, I don't know much about her, but I know that the New York Battle and the Ultron Era were both dangerous wars. If she didn't have the determination to sacrifice herself, she wouldn't have participated..."
"Everyone, I'm not good at this," Thor spread his hands, "If I had to choose who is least like Captain, I'd say Jane Foster."
"Thor, this woman may very well be your girlfriend in the future. Are you sure you want to be so disrespectful?" Tony Stark said.
"That future probably won't happen." Losing a girlfriend just like that, Thor, being a straightforward guy, didn't think it was a big deal. "She should be a scientist, it doesn't matter. She's just an ordinary person, and I find it hard to imagine an ordinary person having the spirit of sacrifice or any other qualities of Captain."
"Thor, you're being judgmental based on appearances," Bruce Banner said. "You can't assume she doesn't have the heroic spirit just because she looks ordinary."
"But all I know about her is her appearance." Thor felt a bit helpless. "If I had known she would appear in the question, I wouldn't mind, you know, getting to know her, or, well, making friends. But I don't know anything about her now, so what should I do?"
"Thor, don't rush. You're right," Steve Rogers said. "This question lacks clues for analysis, and none of us can make a choice based on sufficient and logical reasoning. Just go with your feelings."
"Captain's last sentence makes sense to me," Bruce Banner said. "When everything is a mess, intuition is often the most reliable. Especially since you and your hammer have been inseparable, okay, you were separated for a while recently, but it was just for a short time. You've been through thick and thin with your hammer. There must be some kind of understanding between you two. So, who do you feel can't lift it?"
"I feel like none of the four can lift it," Thor said honestly.
"..." Bruce Banner felt like he had wasted his words.
"If I have to choose one among the four," Thor glanced back and forth between the options and finally settled on the name of his future girlfriend, "I choose A, Jane Foster!"
[Wrong answer! One year of life deducted!]
Regarding Thor's hammer, including Thor himself, they all had very little knowledge, so even though they knew the answer was wrong, there wasn't much to analyze.
The group first unanimously condemned Thor for not even knowing his own hammer, and then they gossiped about the name of the hammer, but the space started playing a video.
The first person to appear in the video was Clint Barton, and his eyes were somewhat unusual, with a bluish tint that was far from the normal color. He also seemed lifeless, like a puppet being controlled.
From this appearance, the group immediately understood that Clint Barton was being controlled by Loki using the Mind Stone.
So, they could determine the timeframe when this video occurred—it was shortly after the start of the New York Battle.
The back of a fighter jet was wide open, and Clint Barton was standing there, bending his bow and drawing an arrow. He shot the arrow at the casing of a sky carrier's engine.
After the arrow hit, it transformed, releasing several steel balls that attached to the casing, and there were red lights blinking continuously.
Clint Barton reached for a button on his bow, and with a loud boom, the engine of the sky carrier exploded.
Thick smoke and dazzling flames soared into the sky.
Many people inside the sky carrier were thrown off balance by the explosion.
Among those struggling to keep their footing, Natasha Romanoff and Bruce Banner could be seen falling together.
Steve Rogers and Tony Stark were lying next to each other, and neither of them was seriously injured.
"Put on your armor quickly."
"Alright."
Steve Rogers and Tony Stark got up and hurriedly rushed outside.
"Alarm! Alarm!"
"Attention, everyone!"
The sky carrier's alarm sounded.
"Hill!" Nick Fury shook his head and called out.
"There's been an explosion on the exterior!" Hill stood in front of the computer, checking the situation of the sky carrier. "Engine #3 has stopped functioning!"
"Can the engine be repaired?" Hill left the computer and walked away, asking, "Answer me!"
"The turbines are mostly fine." A young man with a pilot's haircut explained to Hill, "But as long as we're flying, we can't send anyone out to make repairs."
"If we lose one more engine, we're done for." Hill said, "Someone has to go out and repair the engine."
"Stark, did you hear that?" Nick Fury touched his earpiece and said.
"I'll go fix it." Tony Stark's voice came through.
"Coulson, open the defense lock of the containment area, then go to the armory," Nick Fury quickly issued orders, "Romanoff?"
At that moment, Natasha Romanoff was lying face down on the ground, not because she didn't want to get up, but because a large pipe was pressing on her leg, making it impossible for her to get up. Nevertheless, she still replied to Nick Fury, "I'm okay."
At this moment, she had no idea that she was about to have "something" happen.
Next to Natasha Romanoff, Bruce Banner had a pained expression, and he was constantly making low, painful sounds. His transformation was imminent.
Natasha Romanoff suddenly had a sinking feeling, as she knew all too well how terrifying Bruce Banner's transformation could be.
