Drinking Leads to Trouble

"Can you tell me exactly what mistake you made?"

"I only know that you made a grave mistake. If I don’t know the specifics, I can’t sort out my thoughts and figure out how to help you."

Hearing that Thor had actually been banished to the mortal world, Tony realized this was undoubtedly a major matter and asked in an extremely serious tone.

God King Odin would not live much longer. If Thor could not take over Asgard and continue serving as Earth’s guardian,

then if Earth faced a crisis in the future, Asgard would be unable to help.

Even if Thor was not as powerful as he was in the myths, as Odin’s biological son, his strength was certainly not to be underestimated.

As long as Thor guarded Earth, Tony could venture into space without worry. Therefore, helping Thor return to the divine realm was his duty.

"It’s a long story."

Thor saw that Tony Stark truly seemed willing to help him.

"Then make it short."

Tony spoke up.

"…Because of my arrogance, recklessness, and impulsiveness, I went to Jotunheim and started an ancient war."

"Because of that, the Nine Realms, once peaceful and tranquil, will soon no longer be at peace."

Thor lowered his head, his voice full of regret.

At the time, he had not considered the consequences in his impulsiveness. But after being banished to the mortal world, he had thought about many things and understood why his father had been so furious.

"What the hell have you done? Was peace not good enough?"

Although Tony wanted to help Thor, he was left somewhat speechless upon hearing the reason.

"I drank a little, then got provoked, so I impulsively went there…"

Thor knew just how foolish what he had done was, and lowered his head even further.

"Although I really want to laugh at you, now that I know this, you don’t need to despair too much."

"You still have a chance to reclaim your Godly Power and return to Asgard."

"Otherwise, Mjolnir would not have followed after you and landed near where you arrived on Earth."

Seeing Thor’s dejected appearance, Tony could not bear to strike him down further and comforted him.

"That was what I thought too, but as you can see, I can no longer lift my Mjolnir."

"And less than two days after Mjolnir left my hand, you brought it back."

Hearing Tony’s comfort, Thor was not particularly happy. Instead, he spoke as if he had resigned himself to it.

"There are conditions for lifting Mjolnir. As long as you meet those conditions, you can lift Mjolnir again and regain Thor Power."

"Although I really want to return Mjolnir to you as soon as possible and have you leave quickly,"

"it seems this matter will not be easy to resolve anytime soon."

"Come inside and sit down. Let’s think of a solution."

Seeing Thor’s despondent expression, Tony sighed and spoke.

"You know the conditions for lifting Mjolnir?"

A glimmer of hope lit up in Thor’s eyes upon hearing Tony’s words.

"I don’t know the specifics very well either. Someone told me after I lifted it."

Tony picked up the hammer again and walked toward the villa, looking back as he spoke.

"Who was that person? How did he know?"

Thor was somewhat puzzled.

"He has no intention of meeting you, so I won’t reveal it."

"Let’s discuss how the conditions for lifting Mjolnir are determined."

"As long as we figure that out, your Thor Power will return."

Tony did not reveal Harvey’s name and directly changed the subject.

"…"

Thor was filled with confusion when he saw Tony’s unwillingness to say more, but he followed him inside anyway.

"A guest is a guest. Don’t stand outside. Come in as well."

Just as Jane and Daisy stood there, uncertain whether they should follow, Tony’s voice came from inside.

Jane and Daisy followed them in.

However, compared to her earlier excitement, Daisy became much more reserved once she truly entered Stark Mansion. She only dared to carefully look around and did not dare speak loudly.

Jane, meanwhile, had been thinking about some of the information revealed during Thor and Tony Stark’s conversation.

She felt that, by chance, she had inadvertently come into contact with some unimaginable people and things.

After Tony brought them to the second-floor hall,

"Want a drink?"

Tony directly took out a bottle of liquor and looked at Thor.

"Thank you for the offer, but I’m not in the mood right now."

Thor was tempted, but considering that drinking had already caused enough trouble for him, he shook his head and refused.

"You don’t need to take it too seriously. I think your father banished you to Earth because he wanted you to gain some experience here."

"As long as you succeed, you’ll be able to return."

After seeing Jane and Daisy shake their heads as well, Tony poured himself a drink and spoke slowly.

"But if I fail, won’t I have to stay on Earth forever?"

Thor spoke in a somewhat dejected voice.

"Look on the bright side. Hear the conditions for lifting Mjolnir first. It won’t be too late to feel depressed afterward."

Seeing Thor’s expression, Tony immediately felt this was becoming troublesome, but he still spoke warmly and amicably.

"Then what are the conditions?"

Thor looked at Tony.

"Someone told me there are two ways to lift Mjolnir."

"The first is to possess a righteous heart. Anyone with one can pass Mjolnir’s test and lift it directly."

"The second is to rely on overwhelming strength and forcibly lift Mjolnir."

Tony did not hide anything and explained the conditions.

"Putting the first condition aside,"

"it is impossible to lift Mjolnir through brute force."

"Mjolnir is protected by my father’s enchantment. No one is stronger than my father."

Thor’s expression became extremely serious upon hearing Tony’s words.

"I didn’t expect you to still be so protective of your father after being banished to the mortal world."

"The fact that you feel this way means your hope of regaining your Godly Power is even greater."

"But whether you believe it or not, that person has already proven the truth of both conditions to me."

Tony looked at Thor in surprise and smiled.

"Can someone really lift it through brute force?"

Thor fell silent for a moment at Tony’s nonchalant response before speaking.

"You’ve already proven that you can’t lift it with the second method, so it doesn’t matter whether it’s true or not."

"What we need to study is the first method: what exactly is a righteous heart?"

Tony did not argue further. He sat on the sofa with his drink and looked at Thor as he spoke slowly.
