Chapter 62: Lifting Thor's hammer

But Thor, who had loosened his palm, didnt know any of that. He only knew that he was very dissatisfied with Bruce, as he thought that he only lost due to his negligence in their previous battle.

But regardless, It was indeed not a good time to fight again, at least not at present. As for Bruce, he didnt say anything after his initial introduction, he merely waited in silence.

The Heart of Justice only needed five to six more minutes to be downloaded under the 1,000 x download speedup. Bruce had everything in control right now.

After seeing Bruce making the first move in reconciling with Thor, Captain America turned his sight to Iron Man, who was the hardest to manage in his eyes.

After all, he was a multimillionaire, so naturally he was proud and unruly in character. At least that was the Captains thoughts on that, which was why he felt that he was very hard to deal with.

Mr. Stark! Said the Captain, staring Iron Man down.

If they wanted to truly have a hope of succeeding as the Avengers, at least they had to have solidarity. So when It came to the seemingly minor scuffle between Thor and Iron Man, he had to intervene before it grew out of hand.

Iron Mans face revealed his dissatisfaction after hearing what Captain America said. This was his natural disposition, moreover he was extremely dissatisfied that Thor snatched Loki away right in front of him.

And now that the Captain was suggesting he shake hands with this guy who looked like he belonged in a circus, he was even more so.

Bruce on the other hand merely stood aside, saying nothing. These superheroess internal problems were the worst problem they had to face when It came to the first generation of the Avengers.

But these things had nothing to do with Bruce. If someone was to be troubled about It, It should be the Captain, not him. In his eyes, the most important thing right now was to improve his strength.

In fact, If It wasnt for obtaining energy value and making the main story progress, he wouldnt even join in on the New York War.

Mr. Stark! Captain America said again after seeing that Iron Man hadnt responded. Meanwhile Thor crossed his arms in front of his chest and stared at Iron Man as well.

Tony Stark. Truly helpless on the matter, Iron Man extended out his hand towards Thor. After all, Captain America was from his fathers generation, who was also a superhero, so he had to show due respect.

Thor on the other hand didnt care about any of that, he didnt like to think much as it is, It wasnt in his nature. Moreover in his eyes, he had seen a lot of people with worse tempers than Iron Man.

At this time, the three big shots of the Avengers were finally at peace, at least on the surface, under Captain Americas lead.

Lets go, the Tesseract still hasnt been found, we still have a lot of things to do. The Captain was also helpless. Iron Man, Thor he just couldnt manage them all. And Bruce was also troublesome, making him mentally and somehow physically, exhausted.

If he had to be honest, he was especially worried about Bruce, he just couldnt see through the guy at all. He didnt even know what his purpose was! But despite all the unknowns about Bruce, he felt that Bruce wasnt their enemy and therefore not a threat to them.

Thor and Iron Man nodded after hearing Captain Americas words and prepared to leave this mountain forest. And for Bruce, their timing could not have been more perfect!

Beep, download complete!

Beep, congratulations, youve obtained the Heart of Justice ability! 

After the system finished talking, Bruce felt an unknown emotion rising up in his heart. This was the so-called ideology of absolute justice and purity which could only be owned by people of noble character being engraved within his heart.

But just as the emotion and ideology rose, they were similarly immediately suppressed down by Bruce.

With the help of the system, this ideology had become one of his abilities, but Bruce had never been a noble person, not before, not now, nor ever will be. On this point Bruce was sure of.

Such an ideology of justice and purity was nothing in Bruces eyes, he didnt care for it at all. If it wasnt for the fact that It was a requirement to lift Thors hammer, as well as it not being able to affect him at all, Bruce wouldnt have downloaded this ability.

He had never thought of himself as a savior of this world. In fact, if one of these days some superhero posed a threat to him or one of his plans, he would kill them where they stood without blinking.

While Thor and maybe even Iron Man fit into that category, they had their uses and were valuable assets in Bruces eyes, especially because he needed them alive to download the abilities he couldnt yet download off of them.

In his previous fight with Thor, he had obtained 100 points of energy value, making him hit his temporary goal of obtaining enough to download Iron Mans Mark 7 Armor.

This was one of the most important things to him now, because as long as he got one Mark Armor, he could continuously upgrade it using energy value. It was really way too worth it!

Bruce decided not to act immediately though, he had enough time and would have plenty of chances to do that soon enough. In the meantime, Bruce set his eyes on Mjolnir.

Now that he obtained the Heart of Justice, he wanted to try out his new ability and if it worked. Without any further hesitation, Bruce walked directly toward Mjolnir. And at this time, all three of the Avengerss big shots saw Bruces strange movement.

What does this guy want to do? Iron Man asked with doubt in his eyes as he looked at Bruce.

I dont know, I have never been able to see through him. The Captain didnt really know how to reply to Iron Man, he could only tell him his thoughts.

As a mortal, you dare try to lift my hammer? Did you know that this hammer was made by my father with the help of the dwarves using a stellar core that was about to die?! Besides me who owns the title of God of Thunder, no one could get Its approval.

Thor knew what Bruce wanted to do, but he didnt stop him. His hammer couldnt even be lifted by other Aesir, so how could a mere human from Earth be able to?

After hearing what Thor said, Captain America and Iron Man also looked at Bruce with interest. No matter what the relation was between them, Thor was indeed a god in Northern Europe.

For one man to hold such powerful strength, the Captain had deemed it impossible, at least that was what he thought before meeting Thor, who changed his views of life itself.

Iron Man was also clear about the terrifying energy contained within the stellar core. It wasnt something a human from Earth could handle.

Loki, who was far away, also saw this scene. He too was interested in Bruce, but the matters regarding Thors hammer couldnt be more clear to him, so he thought Bruce had no chance.

The power within that Hammer was tremendous! It was made by Odin, father of all the gods, and It contained his power as well as his curse!

Meanwhile, at this moment, Bruce had walked up and was standing right in front of Mjolnir. He looked at the hammer in a calm manner, an inexplicable feeling rose up within him that made him believe he could make contact with the hammer in his heart.

This feeling was very special, and at this moment, Bruce was certain that he would be able to lift it.

Listen bloke, I advise you to give up. This hammer could only be lifted by my father and I. My father, being the king of the Aesir and the father of all the gods. So unless your strength is the same as my father, you wont be able to lift it. After all, the gap between a mortal and a god is not so easily closed. Said Thor, very certain of himself.

But at that moment, Bruce grabbed the hammer with his hands and directly lifted it up. With the hammer in hand, he looked at Thor and said, you were saying?
