Druid's Marvel Travels

Chapter 75 The Breath of Intelligent Creatures (for further reading~)

Odin, the king of the gods, added a magical spell to Thor's hammer, making it an "unshakable thing" in the eyes of ordinary people.

Although the exact corresponding conditions are not clear, judging from the characteristics of the person who can pick it up, the so-called "qualification" is nothing more than qualities such as justice, perseverance, protection, and sacrifice.

But Oaks does not have all these qualities.

His heart is for justice, and he is strong enough to protect it, but at the point of sacrificing...

He had already sacrificed in his previous life, but the things behind him that he didn't have to think about had troubled him for quite a long time.

So in this life, he must firmly grasp his own destiny.

The unshakable Thor's Hammer proved his positioning for himself.

However, this did not prevent him from clearly perceiving the terrifying power of thunder contained in that hammer.

This is a powerful weapon made of Ulu metal, and the endless thunder magic power makes it invincible——

Unless the opponent has much stronger magic power than it, it is almost indestructible in most cases.

But ordinary people are not even qualified to perceive this kind of power.

The reason why Oakes can feel the existence of this power is precisely because of his attainments in balance spells.

He also has a lot of experience in mobilizing the power of thunder.

"What an amazing creation..."

The Thor's Hammer in Oakes' eyes was different from what Coulson and the others saw.

In addition to the hammer head made of Uru metal, Mjolnir's hammer handle is made of a very special wood.

Oakes could clearly perceive that on the hammer handle, although insignificant, it did exist, the deep natural breath of plants——

Unfathomable!

In this world, theoretically...

The source of the legendary hammer handle material, the "world tree", should be a cosmic phenomenon without entity.

Could it be another strange tree species?
"Your judgment is not wrong, this thing should indeed have an owner."

Oakes closed his eyes to sense the hammer for a long time, and then temporarily suppressed his doubts in his heart, and opened his eyes:

"Colson, I think you have something to do."

"Have you found anything, Counselor Oakes?"

Coulson was refreshed. As expected of Mr. Consultant, he discovered the problem when he first arrived?

However, could it be said that this hammer is like an animal, and the consultant can perceive its thinking?

This is too ridiculous...

"This hammer has its owner's breath left, and there is no doubt that it is the breath of intelligent creatures."

Oakes' serious nonsense made Coulson's eyes twitch:
"Because hundreds of people have tried to pull it out."

It also includes all of us and yourself.

If we hadn't stopped it in time, I'm afraid the handle of the hammer would have been covered with pulp when you came.

The breath of a god-fucking intelligent creature...

"But Coulson, I can say responsibly that this breath does not belong to intelligent creatures on Earth, that is, humans.

You know that I am very sensitive to the breath of life... I can even feel that the two subordinates behind you, the one on the left has a wound on his right index finger. "

Coulson raised his eyebrows and turned to look at his subordinate——

His right hand is gloved.

"Er... indeed, sir."

The corner of the man in black's mouth twitched, and he took off the glove on his right hand. There was indeed a wound on his index finger:
"It was scratched when installing the equipment yesterday, so I found gloves and put them on."

"..."

Coulson turned back silently: "What are we going to do?"

Oakes wasn't entirely fooling him either.

There was indeed a remnant of Thor's magic in the hammer, which was his own thunder power.

Because up to now, Thor has relied on the power of Thor's Hammer to guide the power in his body, but cannot actively release the power of thunder in his body.

Although Sol has now been sealed by Odin and has become a mortal, Odin has not deprived him of his power.

It was just to scare him.

If he was close enough to Thor, Oakes could indeed determine his identity through the power of Thor's Hammer.

It's just that he and Coulson couldn't explain it that way.

"One more thing..."

Oakes returned to Coulson and whispered:

"I heard that you confiscated a group of observation equipment of private astronomers this morning?"

"It's like this, because they were observing not far from this area on the night of the incident——

Among them was Dr. Banner's former colleague, astrophysicist Dr. Eric Selvig. "

When Coulson said this, he smiled wryly:
"It's just that they don't seem to understand what we're doing."

"...Nonsense, what's the difference between what you're doing and what a bandit is doing? Although you paid for it, you have to know that for those real scientists, no amount of money can be exchanged for personally modified instruments and precious data."

After giving Coulson a blank look, Oakes complained:

"If you did the same thing at my place back then, believe it or not, the grass on your grave would be several feet high now?"

"...I'll apologize when it's over."

Coulson's smile became even more bitter. That's right, the guy in front of him was the ruthless guy who wiped Obady's neck in front of Tony, and he was completely different from the cowardly Dr. Selvig.

But later they found out that this cowardly doctor also knew Dr. Banner.

Not only that, but it seems that he has a relationship with a former important figure of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Where is the nearest town?"

Hearing Oakes' question, Coulson came back to his senses:

"It's Guqiao Town, consultant, Dr. Selvig is there, should we block the town?"

"That's too much movement, secretly investigate—see if there are any unknown people who have suddenly appeared recently."

Oakes pointed to Thor's Hammer that was still crooked on the ground:
"Since it is a weapon of intelligent creatures, it is difficult to connect it with non-human creatures, right?

When you arrive in a strange place, what is the first thing you do? "

"Hide and gather intelligence."

Coulson looked enlightened:
"Mr. Consultant, are you saying that the owner of the hammer may be hiding in the crowd? But there was such a big commotion at that time..."

"If he still has the ability to cause such a big commotion, why hasn't there been any commotion these days?"

Although Oakes is very clear that Sol is a reckless guy now, it is completely impossible to hide and collect information...

But at least for this reason, S.H.I.E.L.D. can monitor Guqiao Town to avoid future casualties.

"Secretly prepare the rescue team, and prepare for the worst. If it is Pendragon who comes, draw out his sword in the stone..."

Oakes looked at Coulson's serious face and nodded:
"Then we humans are Saxons to him?"

"...I understand, let's prepare now."

By collecting atmospheric observation data, S.H.I.E.L.D. has confirmed beyond doubt that the hammer came from outside the atmosphere.

In other words, the possibility of this thing coming from an extraterrestrial civilization is extremely high.

Oakes' words prove that this hammer has an owner, and it is not a human being on Earth.

How alien life sees people on earth is completely out of the control of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The only thing Coulson can do is to ensure that the people in Guqiao Town will be evacuated in time if any conflict occurs.

But as Oakes said, the unknown target cannot be alarmed in advance, so it can only be done secretly.

"Consultant... Will this unknown target conform to our human aesthetics?"

Dr. Banner is about to arrive, and Coulson, who came to greet him, is a little worried about whether he can judge the target this time from the appearance.

Oakes twitched the corner of his mouth and touched his chin:

"...Maybe it looks like a shocking hero?"
