Reborn with Steve Stand

"You claim to be a genius sorcerer, don't you?" Nick Fury observed Fang Mo with curiosity and inquired, "Can you decipher Odin's magic and wield this hammer?"

Fang Mo, upon hearing the question, instinctively touched his chin. Undoubtedly, he held a keen interest in Thor's Hammer. After all, he had traversed into the Marvel universe with a burning desire to experience those iconic moments.

"And you should be aware that it is Thor's cherished Mjolnir, the Hammer of the Gods. Who could resist the temptation to lift it?"

"I can lift it," Fang Mo promptly declared, rolling up his sleeves.

As an avid reader of the original work, he possessed an understanding of Thor's Hammer's capabilities. Odin's enchantment dictated that only individuals of noble character, compassionate heart, and the potential to ascend to the throne of Asgard could heft it and harness the power of thunder.

In the original narrative, Captain America, Steve Rogers, proved worthy and lifted the Hammer of Thor during the climactic events of Avengers: Endgame. Empowered by the Uru Hammer and his Vibranium shield, he delivered mighty blows to Thanos, leaving the audience in awe. Marvel's Captain America truly deserved recognition for his extraordinary combat prowess.

Of course, certain viewers speculated that Black Widow, Natasha Romanoff, might also possess the ability to lift Thor's Hammer, yet the original work remained inconclusive on this matter, so let us not delve into it here.

Drawing from these examples, it could be inferred that lifting the hammer necessitated an unblemished character.

After contemplation, Fang Mo concluded that he might not excel in this particular aspect. Although he had fervently pledged his loyalty to righteousness and renounced vices like gambling and drug use, would his commitment suffice?

Fortunately, Fang Mo had Steve as a backup.

As the custodian of the MCU realm, Steve wielded powers akin to those of deities. He stood as an unparalleled force, capable of carrying half the moon in his backpack while moving with astonishing agility. Fang Mo mused that since Thor's Hammer was forged from a dying star and the moon held celestial status, they shared similarities, didn't they?

With this notion in mind, Fang Mo's focus shifted, and Steve materialized behind him like a specter.

However, before resorting to Steve, Fang Mo resolved to test his own mettle. He extended his hand and grasped the hammer's handle with deliberate slowness. In an instant, a purple aura enveloped him, and the colossal strength required to lift tens of tons surged through his being.

Alas, Odin's enchantment proved indomitable. Fang Mo's legs sank into the ground, yet the hammer remained steadfast. Even his attempt to rend the rocks beneath the hammer was futile, thwarted by an imperceptible force. The presence of divine power was unmistakable.

"Unable to do it?" Nick Fury inquired directly, witnessing the scene. "Even you cannot lift this artifact?"

"Silence! Refrain from doubting my abilities!" Fang Mo retorted angrily, seizing control of Steve without delay.

Steve, now equipped with a pickaxe, commenced digging beneath Thor's Hammer. Fractures spider-webbed across the rocky surface, until finally, with a resounding crash, the entire foundation vanished.

The Hammer of Thor lost its support and descended to the ground.

However, in that critical moment, without warning, it appeared as if the hammer transformed into a dropped item, instantaneously absorbed into Steve's being. In its wake, another hammer materialized in his inventory.

"Hmm?" Nick Fury, astonished by the sight, queried, "Where did the hammer go?"

Fang Mo remained silent, completely engrossed in examining the hammer within Steve's inventory.

To be honest, it was Steve's first time collecting resources from the real world, and even Fang Mo himself was mildly surprised as he quickly assessed Thor's hammer.

However, something strange occurred.

The hammer's name in the inventory appeared as "Thor's Hammer," but the rest of the description, including the suffix, constantly transformed into incomprehensible gibberish.

Fang Mo attempted to make Steve use the hammer, but all his efforts were in vain.

No matter if he left-clicked or right-clicked, it seemed as if the item had no presence in his hand at all. It rendered the hammer utterly useless, giving Fang Mo a sensation similar to encountering unfinished mods in Minecraft, where test items lacked functionality.

After pondering for a moment, Fang Mo instructed Steve to return the hammer to him.

This time, the process went more smoothly.

The materialization of Thor's hammer didn't occur, as it already existed as a tangible item in the real world. Yet, the moment Fang Mo picked it up, a powerful gravitational force surged forth.

Instinctively, Fang Mo released his grip, and with a heavy thud, the hammer fell to the ground.

"Hmm..."

Fang Mo stared at the fallen hammer, frustration welling up within him. "Indeed, let's just destroy this thing. Damn it, where's my lava?"

"Hold on..."

Observing this scene, Nick Fury quickly raised his hand to his forehead and cautioned, "Didn't you just lift it? And you claim it's Thor's weapon. Aren't you afraid of angering the gods if you destroy it?"

"It would have been destroyed sooner or later."

As he spoke, Fang Mo directed Steve to dig a pit and prepare to pour lava.

However, what Fang Mo didn't anticipate was that after Steve excavated a one-meter-square pit, a miniature block appeared on the ground.

"Hmm?"

The sight of this block left Fang Mo utterly stunned. "...Damn!"

"What's wrong now?"

Nick Fury was thoroughly bewildered. He even began to entertain the idea that the hammer might be cursed, causing anyone who lifted it to lose their sanity. Otherwise, why did Fang Mo keep experiencing these unexpected surprises?

"It's nothing. How is this even possible?"

Gazing at the small block on the ground, Fang Mo was genuinely astounded. "It didn't possess this functionality before, and my Stand wasn't hit by arrows. How did it suddenly evolve?"

"Can you please express yourself in a way that others can understand?"

At this point, Nick Fury couldn't see Steve or the shrunken block. He couldn't help but rub his forehead. "One moment you're digging holes, the next you're talking to yourself. I'm starting to question your sanity. Should I call a psychiatrist for you or perhaps administer a sedative?"

"Just wait a moment before speaking. It seems I've stumbled upon the secrets of sorcery..."

Naturally, Fang Mo had no time to pay attention to Nick Fury. After all, Steve's ability to gather resources in this world held immense significance. He needed to study it immediately. With a wave of his hand, Fang Mo abruptly interrupted Nick Fury's questioning.

And then, Fang Mo took control of Steve, striding toward the shrunken block.

With a swift "whoosh" sound, the block was absorbed into Steve's being.

At that precise moment, upon glimpsing Steve's inventory, Fang Mo finally comprehended the situation, his face filled with astonishment.
