I'm a hero in Marvel

Chapter 42: Indescribable

"What?!" Lan stared at Li Jie with eyes wide open in disbelief. "Are you saying this is Thor? Wait, I seem to remember he wasn't like this before!"

"That's the problem, Lan. Due to some irresistible reasons, he has become like this now." Li Jie patted Thor's fat belly gently.

The fat on Thor's belly trembled as Li Jie slapped him, like the ripples caused by a stone thrown into a lake, and the layers of fat showed amazing elasticity.

"Oh my god." It was the first time that Li Jie saw Lan lose her composure like this. This usually calm girl showed complex and indescribable emotions for the first time.

"I remember that Thor was banished to the mortal world by Odin because he wanted to learn humility. But now he looks like this..." Lan stopped talking halfway.

"Yes, that's what you saw. I think the first priority is to help him get back in shape." Li Jie sighed helplessly. Now people who have seen Thor's original appearance can't believe that the fat man in front of them is the once mighty Thor.

This is the result of Li Jie's strict control of Thor's diet and urging him to exercise these days. In fact, he has lost several pounds.

Li Jie has not returned the house he rented for Thor because he doesn't know when Valkyrie will come back. If the Valkyrie of Asgard returns, he must prepare a place for her to live.

However, Li Jie had already moved all the fitness equipment prepared for Thor from that house, including spinning bikes, treadmills, and various dumbbells and barbells. For this purpose, he had to rent a large pickup truck to transport these things.

"Why can I only eat these at noon? Didn't you say there would be meat today?" At lunch, Thor stared at his plate with resentment on his face. There were only a few slices of grapefruit, boiled green beans, diced apples and a small amount of egg white.

To be honest, such food is really hard to look at. Even Lan, who is not very picky about food, can't help but frown. She looked at the black and sticky dish in front of her, and a strong sense of discomfort surged in her heart. These foods look unappetizing and even a little nauseating. Lan couldn't help but doubt whether this can really be called food? She felt that she could not treat it as a full meal anyway.

But Li Jie ignored Thor's complaints, served Lan the lunch he prepared, and said, "Shut up, because you stole food yesterday! Don't think I don't know that you got money from somewhere yesterday and bought fried chicken legs! Now you are more capable and can steal money! Five dollars were missing from my wallet yesterday, you didn't take it, did you?"

"I didn't steal it! Absolutely not! I picked it up from the ground! I am the God of Thunder! How could I possibly do such a despicable thing as stealing? This is simply an insult and slander to my reputation!" Thor argued loudly and righteously, his voice as loud as a thunderstorm echoing throughout the space, as if to deafen everyone's ears. His face was full of anger and grievance, his eyes were wide open, staring at the person in front of him, as if he wanted to see through the other person with his eyes. His body was also trembling slightly because of excitement, and he held the thing that was suspected to be stolen goods tightly in his hand, as if he was afraid that someone else would snatch it away.

"If you find something that doesn't belong to you, you should look for the owner or hand it over to the police. This is something even a six-year-old child understands. You are just quibbling!" Li Jie said to Thor mercilessly.

Lan's mouth dropped open because of what she saw. She couldn't believe what she saw. This scene was just like a father scolding his child! You know, Thor was not like this in the past! He was always so rude, reckless, and always thought highly of himself, as if the world should revolve around him. However, now, this scene completely overturned Lan's perception of Thor.

Of course, as the most noble prince of Asgard and the god of thunder who has never tasted defeat in his life, Thor naturally has his own pride and self-esteem! This is a fact that no one can deny or accuse! After all, how could such a powerful and majestic existence as him not have the slightest arrogance? You know, he is the hero who once defeated countless powerful enemies and defended the glory of Asgard by his own strength! So, no matter who it is, no one should have any doubts or accusations against this great god of thunder! On the contrary, we should give him enough respect and admiration! Because only in this way can we be worthy of his extremely brilliant record and supreme status!

But Li Jie scolded Thor like this and trained him in a way that was almost abusive, but the prince of Asgard did not resist? This was incredible! You know, when Thor got crazy, he was not afraid of death.

Lan was full of curiosity and doubts. She couldn't understand how Li Jie could subdue the extremely powerful Thor. Thor is the god of thunder in Norse mythology! He has endless strength and courage, and he also controls the power of thunder and lightning. It can be said that no one can defeat him. However, such a seemingly invincible existence was easily subdued by Li Jie, which made Lan feel incredible.

Lan couldn't help but recall every little bit of her time with Li Jie, trying to find some clues or hints. But no matter how hard she thought, she had no clue, because in her impression, Li Jie had always been a very ordinary person, and he didn't show anything special. Could it be that Li Jie had hidden his true strength? Or did he have some secret weapons or special skills? The more Lan thought about it, the more confused she felt, and at the same time, she developed a strong interest in Li Jie. She decided to ask Li Jie when she had the chance to see if she could get an answer from him. After all, for a person with a strong curiosity, unknown things are always full of attraction and challenges.

"Don't worry about the fat guy, Lan, let's eat first." Li Jie had already prepared Lan's lunch. After the last dinner, he found that Lan didn't like those dishes, so he guessed that her taste might have been formed when she was in Kamar-Taj.

So when he went to Gu Yi to get the space ring he made, he specifically asked Wang what Lan liked to eat. Because Wang played a role similar to a butler in Kamar-Taj and knew these things very well.

When saffron is soaked in water and cooked, the rice turns golden yellow, which is Lan's favorite staple food. There is also fresh yak meat stewed in clear water, which can be eaten directly with soy sauce and vinegar.

In New York City, yak meat is out of the question, and even freshly slaughtered, unfrozen beef is hard to find. Li Jie went to several restaurant suppliers before he found one that sold fresh beef.

Because fresh meat is required for beef stew, the taste of frozen meat is much worse. Lan is not picky about food, and these two are her favorites.

Li Jie felt that it was not difficult to meet this need, so for today's lunch, he prepared Lan's favorite food and added some simple vegetables.

Lan glanced at the food prepared for her, raised an eyebrow, smiled and said to Li Jie: "Thank you."

Li Jie waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, it's just a small matter."

In the afternoon, when Thor started his weight loss training, Lan understood why Thor, who originally had a hot temper, would listen to Li Jie so much.

Thor pedaled the spinning bike frantically, and if he relaxed, Li Jie would shoot him directly with a gun loaded with rubber bullets.

"Hurry up, you idiot! Didn't you have lunch? Why are you so slow?" Li Jie quickly packed his things while constantly urging Thor. His tone was very sharp and aggressive, which made people feel uncomfortable. Thor stood silently aside, lowering his head and saying nothing. His face was a little pale, and he seemed a little scared and nervous.

"I really didn't have lunch! If you call that lunch!" Thor yelled back while riding his bike.

"Oh, so what? Thor? Don't think you are still Thor now! Thor!" Li Jie didn't give Thor any face.

"You are just a useless fat guy now! All you do all day is drink Coke, eat fried chicken, and watch boring entertainment programs! If you are too lazy to move, just say so!"

"I can make you a useless person in comfort! I can supply you with enough Coke and fried chicken every day. I can also teach you how to play online games! Do you know how to play online games? Oh, I guess you don't, but I can guarantee that you will find it very fun once you learn it!"

"Then you can become a happier fat otaku! I will install a lot of food delivery apps, and you can sit in front of the computer all day long, playing games and eating fried chicken! You don't have to do anything until your brain bursts one day! I promise you will live a happy life! You are just a useless waste anyway!" Li Jie spoke without mercy.

Lan's heart almost jumped out of his throat when he heard what Li Jie said. Was Li Jie deliberately looking for trouble? No matter if Thor was the god of thunder or the son of Odin, even an ordinary person couldn't stand such sarcasm and insult, right?

As expected, Thor was furious. He stopped his spinning bike and rushed towards Li Jie aggressively. At this moment, he no longer cared whether he would be beaten or not.

"Say it again if you dare!" Thor was fat, but his strength was undiminished. He grabbed Li Jie by the collar, pulled him in front of him, and stared at him with murderous eyes.

"Am I wrong?" Li Jie raised his mouth corners, revealing a mocking smile, his eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Thor closely, as if trying to see through his innermost thoughts. Then, he said in a contemptuous tone: "Don't forget your current situation, you poor guy! Trapped on this small earth, far away from your hometown and the source of your power, do you really think you are so great, Thor?" His voice was full of disdain and contempt, as if Thor was just an insignificant existence, not worth mentioning at all.

"No! You are not important! Not at all! Never important!" Li Jie did not give in, as if he wanted to completely erase Thor's value: "Look at Asgard without you. Look at Asgard. What's the difference between Asgard and Thor?"

"No, nothing has changed. Apart from your parents, I don't think anyone will miss you much except the tavern owner. I heard that you used to go to the tavern every day and spend a lot of money on honey ale."

"I think the patrols in Asgard should be thankful now. There is no more crazy drunk prince. Every time you drank, you would fight with others and make the streets a mess. You must have caused a lot of trouble for the patrols. Because you are the son of Odin, they must not know how to punish you."

"Oh, and there are those goddesses of Asgard!" Li Jie's tone was filled with a hint of surprise and dissatisfaction, he continued: "Valkyrie once told me that you don't seem to be welcomed by them. I heard that you have serious discrimination against women, and this discrimination is reflected in all aspects. What's more outrageous is that you don't allow Valkyries to step onto the battlefield, just because they are women! This is simply ridiculous!" Li Jie said, shrugged helplessly, expressing his incomprehension and disgust with such behavior.

"Of course, when talking about the battlefield, we have to mention your record of winning hundreds of battles. Thor, the God of Thunder, is so majestic! You have never been defeated in your life, and your reputation is known throughout the universe." Lan felt that Li Jie was not complimenting him, but more like sarcasm.

"But I heard from Valkyrie that your fighting style is always charging ahead. Hmm? I find it hard to believe that a general commanding tens of thousands of troops would give up commanding the entire army and charge forward like an angry wild boar. To be honest, I really doubt the authenticity of your record. Of course, maybe you specifically pick tribes that are easy to deal with? By the way, are there any [strong men] taller than 1.4 meters among your opponents?"

Lan looked at Li Jie in surprise. She didn't expect Li Jie to be so venomous. Thor had been pushed to the edge of collapse by Li Jie's sarcasm, but he didn't do anything yet, because every word Li Jie said was heart-piercing.

Li Jie ignored their reactions and continued, "By the way, I just came back from Master Ancient One. Guess what, Loki won another battle. He suppressed the Frost Giants and Dark Elves at the border. Well, Loki used to be your deputy, right?"

"To be honest, I doubt it. Who is the deputy to whom? I always thought that Loki was helping you clean up the mess. All you did was charge mindlessly, right? Yes, even if you had divine power before, it didn't really do much. I think you could probably find a group of wild boars to give you divine power and put on armor to do your job."

Li Jie said so many sarcastic words in one breath, and each one hit the heart. Lan watched Thor go from being furious to gradually weakening his momentum, and then to his current dejection. She finally understood why Li Jie could make Thor so obedient. This guy is also scary even if he doesn't use violence!

"So, fat guy, what else do you want to say? As a waste, you have lost even your only capital. What qualifications do you have to lose your temper with me, the person who helps you?" Li Jie pushed Thor away and straightened his collar that was messed up by him.

"Are you not convinced? Do you want to be a useful person? Let me tell you, if you still think this way, even if you get Thor's hammer, you are still a useless Thor. I am serious."

"What should I do? What should I do?" Thor's face was filled with despair and helplessness. His body was shaking slightly, as if he might collapse at any time. Li Jie's verbal violence was like a powerful shock wave, hitting his heart hard, making him unable to bear this huge pressure.

Thor's eyes became empty and he stared blankly ahead, seemingly losing the ability to perceive the world around him. His mind was completely confused, and Li Jie's evil words kept echoing in his mind. These words were like sharp swords, piercing his heart again and again.

At this moment, Thor felt as if he was in an endless dark abyss. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not escape this terrible predicament. His confidence and courage had been completely crushed, and his original strong will was gradually disintegrating. Faced with such a cruel reality, he didn't know how long he could hold on, nor did he know how to go on in the future.
