Chapter 1823

Facts proved that an angry woman is not to be trifled with, an angry Black Widow is even more terrifying, and an angry Black Widow holding Mjolnir is simply unstoppable.

The car appeared instantly over the High Energy Physics Laboratory at a speed comparable to a supersonic fighter jet; as it fell straight down, Coulson was strained by the seatbelt again and let out a painful howl.

Seeing Natasha carried Mjolnir and walked quickly into the High Energy Physics Laboratory; the security guard at the door wanted to stop her, but with a "crack," the guard watched his phone, which was instantly fully charged, spit out a puff of black smoke and slowly fell down.

Seeing Natasha was like a thunder storm; wherever she passed, anyone who looked at her twice was fully charged; one bolt of lightning after another descended over New York, until Seeing Natasha rushed into the lab where Dr. Banner was.

Bruce Banner turned back and looked blankly at the female agent who suddenly rushed in; he just opened his mouth to say something, but only heard a "crack," a thunderbolt descended from the sky, Banner was scorched black, and slowly fell down.

Betty, who had just walked into the lab, let out a scream; Seeing Natasha didn't even pay attention, spread her arms, covered her whole body with the power of thunder, jumped down directly from the second-floor window, drove the car flashing with electric light, and arrived at the hospital where Stark was.

Stark hadn't woken up from his coma yet, and heard two "crack" sounds, and both he and the armor turned black again.

Immediately after, the car landed at the hospital where Lei Shen was; Lei Shen only saw an angry woman walking toward him, holding a familiar hammer in her hand.

"Hey! How can you lift..."

"Crack!"

The Warriors Three of Asgard, who had just arrived at the door of the ward, were stunned; they looked at Seeing Natasha, who was covered in the power of thunder, and then at Lei Shen, who was lying on the bed and knocked unconscious by lightning, and couldn't help but shout, "All-Father above..."

"Come out! Come out! Do you want to try how many more thunderbolts you can withstand?!" Seeing Natasha shouted at the air.

But there was silence in front of her; she knew that the other party's means of hiding were probably far beyond her imagination.

Seeing Natasha took a deep breath, put away the hammer, turned, and walked toward the outside of the ward; the Warriors Three wanted to keep her, or at least wanted to keep the hammer, but Seeing Natasha pretended to raise the hammer to strike them, and the three of them hid behind Lei Shen's hospital bed one after another.

After Seeing Natasha left, the Warriors Three looked at each other; Fandral said, "What's going on? How can this human woman use Mjolnir?"

Volstagg said, "She must have deceived Mjolnir; only Lei Shen the God of Thunder can use his weapon."

"Mjolnir!" Lei Shen, as if he had had a nightmare, sat up from the bed with a start; he looked around the ward and said, "Why did I dream that I was knocked unconscious by Mjolnir?"

The Warriors Three looked at each other again and decided not to tell Lei Shen the truth, but just then, a figure appeared in the ward.

"My dear brother, long time no see, how have you been lately?" Loki walked out of the shadows of the room with a smile.

"Loki?!" Lei Shen looked at Loki in shock and said, "How did you come? What are you doing on Earth?"

"I..." Loki raised an eyebrow and said, "Can't I come to see you? Look at what you look like now, tsk tsk..."

Lei Shen looked at his scorched body; just as he was about to open his mouth to speak, Loki held up a finger and said, "Oh, by the way, a reminder, it wasn't a hallucination that you were knocked unconscious by Mjolnir just now."

"A human lifted Mjolnir, but you were pinned to the ground by it and couldn't move; the All-Father would rather recognize a human woman than you, how pathetic."

With a "bang," Lei Shen punched the bed board; he said with grief and indignation, "That's impossible! Mjolnir is a powerful weapon forged from the core of a star; it won't submit to a human!"

"But that's the fact, what can you do?" Loki reached out and shrugged, saying, "Oh, by the way, tell you some bad news, the All-Father has fallen into a deep sleep, and because of your reckless actions, Jotunheim has launched a massive attack on Asgard."

"What?!!" Lei Shen struggled to climb out of bed.

"Lying to you." Loki rolled his eyes and said, "In fact, Asgard is peaceful without you; the All-Father can finally have a good sleep; you are not the savior of Asgard, whether you go back or not, no one cares about you."

After speaking, Loki walked toward the door, saying as he walked, "I have to go ask that female Lei Shen if she's interested in participating in the next round of Asgard's conquest; after all, she is the owner of Mjolnir now, she has this qualification."

"Rest well, Lei Shen, recover as soon as possible... although it's useless even if you recover."

After speaking, Loki walked out, leaving Lei Shen alone, frozen in place.

"No, it's not like that, I am the best warrior in Asgard, the All-Father needs me, how can I... how can I..."

In the dark, Lei Shen heard a voice—take back Mjolnir, take back the weapon that belongs to him; that human woman is not worthy of possessing the weapon of a powerful warrior; Mjolnir is mine!

"Lei Shen! Lei Shen! What's wrong with you?"

Amidst the calls of the Warriors Three, Lei Shen gradually regained his senses, and against the light, no one saw a strange purple light flash in Lei Shen's eyes.

Returning to the hospital where Stark was, Seeing Natasha received an eye-roll from Nick; Nick put his hands on his hips, looked at his capable subordinate, and said, "I know you wanted to resolve the crisis, but Stark was about to wake up, and you knocked him unconscious again; now it's good, we have to wait until tomorrow morning to get the results."

"Then wait until tomorrow morning; at least I made this killer unable to commit crimes tonight." Seeing Natasha snapped her fingers and said, "I have to go back and rest; I'm afraid I'll have to race against him tomorrow morning; see you tomorrow."

Nick watched Seeing Natasha's figure disappear helplessly, and Seeing Natasha drove back to her own apartment at S. H. I. E. L. D.

However, she didn't intend to rest; she had one very critical thing to do, which was to move Stark's out-of-control armor from the day back to the Stark Group and hand it over to Jarvis for inspection.

The person who could hack Stark's armor was no ordinary person; once clues to the method were found, the scope of suspects would be greatly narrowed, and Jarvis was confident in finding useful clues from this scrapped armor.

However, this matter couldn't be known by too many people; if the military and the FBI also knew that someone could control Stark's armor, they would do whatever it took to get this armor and figure out how to restrain Iron Man.

Now this armor was in S. H. I. E. L. D.'s warehouse; Seeing Natasha pretended to park the car downstairs in the apartment, then grabbed Mjolnir and flew to the roof of the warehouse, intending to enter the warehouse from the rooftop to steal the armor.

But just as she flew to the roof, she saw several figures sneaking in the grass on the side of the apartment building.

Seeing Natasha narrowed her eyes and looked carefully; weren't these Lei Shen and those three Asgardians? What were they planning to do squatting outside the apartment? Could they be planning to rob Mjolnir?

Although the hammer was originally theirs, Seeing Natasha still needed this magical hammer to fight wits with the killer; after all, it seemed that the killer couldn't resist the power of thunder, so this was a sharp weapon in her hand.

As for Lei Shen, Seeing Natasha knew that Lei Shen holding the hammer now was useless; Odin was in a deep sleep, Asgard was not at war, and Lei Shen would just cause destruction everywhere with the hammer; it was better to let her use it to save people.

Thinking of this, Seeing Natasha ignored the people squatting there, successfully entered the warehouse, lifted the armor with the power of Mjolnir, flew to the Stark Group's lab, and handed the armor to Jarvis for analysis.

It was already late at night when Seeing Natasha finished; returning to the apartment, she found that the four unlucky guys were still squatting outside her door.

Seeing Natasha got out of the car, carried the hammer, walked behind the grass, hugged her arms, extended a foot to tap in front, and coughed lightly twice.

Lei Shen seemed to be startled, jumped up with a "swoosh," and then scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

"What are you doing here?" Seeing Natasha asked, knowing the answer.

"Uh, we wanted to come and ask you about this hammer." Lei Shen looked left and right, saying, "That, it actually originally was... I mean..."

"You want to say it originally was yours, but you couldn't lift it, so what's wrong with me lifting it and using it?" Seeing Natasha spread her hands and said, "Don't worry, I'll return it to you, but I really have use for it now; you'd better leave first, or I'll call the agents."

The Warriors Three looked at each other, giving birth to the intention to retreat; they knew this matter was not glorious; originally, what the All-Father said was that whoever could lift Mjolnir would gain the All-Father's recognition.

Lei Shen himself couldn't lift it, but this human lifted it, so they should recognize the other party's identity, instead of squatting outside people's doors like thieves; this was inconsistent with the spirit of honor advocated by Asgard.

"I'm not trying to rob the hammer, I just, I just want to try; I haven't really lifted it; maybe I can lift it?"

Seeing Natasha didn't want to talk nonsense with Lei Shen anymore; she had to go back to the apartment to sleep for a little while before dawn to save enough energy to fight wits with the killer tomorrow.

She didn't pay attention to Lei Shen at all and turned to walk toward the front door, but just then, a figure blocked her path.

The green cloak shimmered with cold luster in the moonlight; Loki raised an eyebrow at Seeing Natasha and said, "Ma'am, no offense, I think you should put down Asgard's property."

Seeing Natasha frowned, but the Warriors Three rushed up and said to Loki, "Loki, you can't do this; whoever lifts it is theirs; this is the rule set by the All-Father; we must uphold honor, not steal."

Loki snorted coldly, glanced at them, looked at Seeing Natasha, and said, "Mjolnir is Asgardian royal property; ma'am, if Earth causes a financial dispute with Asgard because of this, your boss might blame you for it, right?"

"Hey, Loki, don't be so despicable, don't make things difficult for this human girl!" Volstagg stood out, blocked in front of Loki, and said, "Even if we want to talk, we should talk to the human leader; you can't just snatch the hammer; this is losing Asgard's face."

Loki was unmoved, blocked Volstagg with his staff; Seeing Natasha retreated a few steps in alert, Mjolnir shimmering with light.

Loki's staff also lit up with magical light; the Warriors Three were suddenly a bit anxious; they looked at Lei Shen and said, "Lei Shen, say something, we can't use such despicable means..."

"Maybe... maybe Loki has a point." Lei Shen clenched his fists and said, "Mjolnir is the All-Father's; we are just taking it back for safekeeping."

The Warriors Three opened their eyes wide in shock, as if they didn't recognize Lei Shen; Hogun stepped forward and shouted in surprise, "Lei Shen, what's wrong with you? Don't you pursue fairness the most? You can't win a victory through dishonorable means just because a human lifted Mjolnir that you couldn't lift; this is a shame!"

"I... I..." Lei Shen seemed a bit at a loss.

Loki sighed, looked at Seeing Natasha, and said, "Okay, in order to take care of this group of stubborn people, let's each take a step back; you put the hammer on the ground and let Lei Shen try; if he can't lift it, the hammer belongs to you; if he can lift it, you have to return it to us."

Seeing Natasha looked at the circle of Asgardians around her, and finally took a deep breath, walked to Lei Shen, and put the hammer on the ground.

Lei Shen swallowed; he rubbed his hands, moved his wrists, his arm muscles tightened, made a full posture of exerting force, then took a deep breath, and grabbed the hammer handle with both hands.

His strong waist exerted force suddenly, with a "bang," Lei Shen sat on the ground, and the hammer was in his hand.

"I lifted it, All-Father! All-Father! Do you see it? I can return to Asgard!!!"

Just as Lei Shen raised the hammer and shouted with joy, purple light flashed in his eyes, and a ray of the same light flew rapidly along his arm toward Mjolnir.

Suddenly, the hammer began to vibrate violently; Lei Shen grabbed the hammer tightly, but Mjolnir still slipped out of his hand with a "swoosh."

Mjolnir drew a beautiful arc in the air and then landed lightly in... Loki's hand.

"Got you!"

Everyone stared at Loki in shock.

The raven perched on the branch behind Loki blinked; looking through its pupils, Odin, lying in the palace, opened his eyes.

The All-Father remembered the day two Lokis appeared; in the back of the Loki who left, he saw energy far more abundant and powerful than his younger son.

In the Star-Eater Engine, Loki, who was locked in an energy prison, shouted, "Let me out! I am a god of Asgard! How dare you treat me like this!!! You damn..."

Loki's second half of the sentence was swallowed back.

Because the person who appeared outside the cage was Lei Shen, but he didn't look like his stupid brother Lei Shen at all.
