Chapter 3309: Jia Bai Li: Wearing Iron Man

"...... What"

Dumbledore's pupils shrank sharply as he fixed his gaze on the hammer glowing with Lei Guang.

Earlier, he hadn't dodged simply because he was utterly hopeless... but now, this unexpected Lei Guang reignited hope within him once more.

"This destructive power... could instantly kill a red dragon. If that's the case! Even facing a horde of dragons, one would still have the strength to counterattack... but! Who on earth possesses such a spell?"

Dumbledore himself couldn't obliterate a red dragon with a single strike... yet this hammer shattered the dragon's body in an instant.

One could only imagine the terror of its owner.

In today's wizarding world... could such a terrifyingly powerful being truly exist? The hammer shot back with a whoosh, and following its flight path, Dumbledore quickly spotted Thor Odinson standing beside Hermione.

His other hand gripped an axe.

"Not bad."

Jia Bai Li tilted her head, studying Thor's axe and hammer with keen interest; after a moment, she confidently extended her hand, "Could you please lend me your hammer or axe?"

"... That... I personally think Young Lady Jia Bai Li couldn't lift the hammer."

Hermione weakly raised her hand.

"... I think so too!"

Thor nodded deeply in agreement... not to mention Jia Bai Li—even among the many greats in the guild, those who could earn the hammer's recognition purely through virtue... if not absolutely nonexistent, they were certainly rare—hardly one in a hundred.

"How do you know unless you try?"

Jia Bai Li looked distinctly disgruntled.

"Why are you so fixated on Lei Shen's hammer?"

Su Han raised an eyebrow.

"It's the obsession left by watching Marvel! When I saw Iron Man, I had to wonder if I could wear his armor; when I saw Captain America, I wanted to touch his shield!"

Jia Bai Li rubbed her nose, "If I saw Batman, I'd wonder if I could sneak a ride on his Batmobile... now that I've seen Lei Shen, of course I have to see if I can borrow his hammer."

In the guild chat room.

Guild members watching the live stream via Hermione now wore expressions of profound strangeness.

Tony Is Not the Richest: "..."

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "6666!"

Tachibana Hikari: "Wear Iron Man's armor! Ride Batman's car... truly experience the power of technology! *manual laugh*"

"

Dao Ya Zi: "Exactly! We could even wrestle the Hulk, or spar with Superman in unrestricted combat! Feel the thrill of dancing on the edge of life and death."

Expressionless.

"

Kyouya Kamijou: "..."

Ainz Ooal Gown: "..."

Houtarou Ouma: "This is going too far... no matter how you look at it, it's too intense!"

Clark Kent: "..."

Lelouch: "Terrifying!"

Bai Hu Zi: "Now that you mention it... I've met Iron Man... but never worn his armor..."

Bai Hu Zi: "Gurara la la! I feel like I've lost countless opportunities."

Kaitou Kid: "I think... given your size, even a standard Iron Man armor wouldn't fit you... the Hulk-smashing armor... still wouldn't quite capture the right vibe..."

Tony Is Not the Richest: "No problem... I've got nanotech armor now! Size isn't an issue."

Tu Shan Hong Hong: "Technology changes life."

Sakata Ginji: "I'm pondering... those in the guild who can lift Thor's hammer."

Kobayashi: "I'm certain Mr. Ou Er Mai Te has no problem!"

Mikasa: "I agree."

Edogawa Conan: "The human vessels of a few Ultramen in the guild could also try."

Jia Bai Li: "... After thinking it over and over! I'm an angel—I should have every reason to lift that hammer!"

Jia Bai Li's cheeks puffed up in anger.

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "... Touch your conscience! Doesn't it hurt?"

Kill Teacher: "An angel whose halo gets dirty and needs constant wiping?"

Jia Bai Li: "..."

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "666... critical hit."

Joan of Arc: "Look... Headmaster Dumbledore has just appeared!"

Nya: "Yes yes! I'm so excited... I can't wait for what comes next!"

Gao Ban Jing Jie: "Right now, besides watching guild members show off, I want to do nothing else."

Sakata Ginji: "So true!"

Dumbledore landed silently beside Su Han and the others; he stared at Thor Odinson, swallowed hard with a gulp, then turned his gaze to Su Han and the rest.

Especially Jia Bai Li—his eyes held a flicker of confusion.

After a brief silence, Dumbledore spoke frankly, "For some reason... I always feel a strange familiarity about you all."

"Old man! That pick-up line is outdated."

Jia Bai Li rolled her eyes.

Dumbledore's expression became extremely complicated, ""

Su Han stared helplessly at Jia Bai Li and whispered, "Actually, Dumbledore isn't hitting on you... he's telling the truth. He just left out one phrase... a familiar yet terrifyingly frightening aura."

Su Han's keen ears had long since caught every word.

Dumbledore's gaze sharpened as he studied Su Han once more — no longer casual, but with a note of solemn gravity — "…Legilimency."

Su Han did not answer, steering the conversation instead. "The reason you find the auras on these fellows both familiar and strange is probably because! Thor is the God of Thunder from Norse mythology… and Gabriel is the Gabriel from the creation myths of the Bible."
