I Became Spider-Man's Cousin in Anime Crossover

Chapter 196 Thor got electrocuted again!

It has to be said that although Thor has a silly personality and is always prone to comedic behavior, he doesn't seem very reliable.

However, as the next heir to the throne of Asgard, Thor, who has been fighting on various planets for thousands of years, has accumulated enough combat experience to defeat most ordinary Earthlings in one-on-one battles even without his divine powers.

Furthermore, Riley's arrangements clearly showed that he deliberately went easy on Thor.

Thor, who had been charging recklessly, was soon led by the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. to the deep pit where Thor's hammer was located.

"So, you're the leader here? One of the people of Midgard? But the clothes you're wearing, back home, make you look more like a clown performing at a banquet to entertain everyone... Hmm, considering your weak strength, I think this outfit suits you quite well."

Of course, due to his arrogant and conceited nature, he still did not restrain himself in the slightest.

Thor, whose advance had been remarkably smooth, not only failed to suspect anything amiss, but instead believed it was a sign that he was getting closer to his precious hammer and that his divine power was gradually returning!

Therefore, even when Riley and the others appeared from the second floor, they quietly looked down at Thor.

Thor showed none of the panic and tension one would expect when surrounded by people.

Instead, he looked around and sized himself up for a while, then put his hands on his hips and smugly mocked Riley.

Before Riley could respond, the others around him suddenly turned sharp and friendly, staring intently at Thor.

Thor, completely unaware of the trouble his careless remark would cause him, chuckled and lowered his head, reaching for the hammer handle.

He plans to fulfill his promise to Jane after regaining his divine powers and help her retrieve the research data that was forcibly seized by S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Unfortunately, I'm very busy and don't have time to continue enjoying your performance, so I'll be leaving now... Hmm? Strange? Why isn't it moving? It's always been going smoothly before..."

Unfortunately, Thor, who was banished to the mortal realm, clearly failed to understand his father's good intentions.

Even as the "God of Thunder," Thor was easily defeated by an ordinary Earthling with a stun gun. Thor still didn't learn his lesson, only believing that the loss of his divine power was what made him so "weak."

Therefore, with his arrogant and self-centered personality remaining unchanged, Thor naturally could not gain the approval of Mjolnir.

So much so that when he habitually exerted force, Thor's hammer remained completely still, and he was unable to regain his divine power, causing Thor's bright smile to freeze on his face.

"Ahem, the rain must have wet the hammer handle, and I used up a bit of energy running in, so it's a little slippery and I can't get a good grip... Just a moment, it'll be fine soon... Come on, baby, you recognize me, right? Come to Daddy's...!"

Of course, Thor wasn't the only one who was incredibly embarrassed by this sudden turn of events.

Even those who had been looking forward to seeing the deity were stunned.

Thor then noticed that the gazes directed at him were beginning to carry a hint of mockery and disdain. It was as if they had already regarded him as an "imposter" based on their earlier "mistake."

This made Thor feel utterly humiliated, and he couldn't help but cough a few times awkwardly and pretend to stretch his muscles.

He then gripped the hammer handle again, muttering under his breath, trying to rouse Thor's hammer and make it recognize him as its master.

He gritted his teeth and, like in a tug-of-war, used both his hands and feet to exert all his strength, trying to lift Thor's hammer.

"Damn it... Answer me! You stupid hammer! I am Thor, the God of Thunder—!!!"

Even after his hands, which had been strained excessively, began to ache and swell, his beloved hammer showed no response whatsoever.

Thor, who had never before felt so clearly insignificant and powerless since birth, was clearly unable to accept the cruel reality of being rejected by the hammer. Accompanied by the thunder and lightning of the rainy night, he couldn't help but raise his head and roar in impotent rage.

Then the next second...

Max, almost instinctively, raised his hand and fired a small burst of electricity, which made the creature "happy" enough to dance on the spot before it finally collapsed onto the muddy ground and fell into a peaceful sleep like a baby.

"...Uh...Guys, let me explain? I was just startled, I really didn't mean to disobey orders...?"

That's why Max, who was originally on high alert and ready to fight in his elemental form, was deeply shocked by this scene that far exceeded his expectations.

Until everyone else present began to stare at Max with strange looks.

Realizing he had messed up, Max felt immense pressure. His lips twitched, and he gestured helplessly, trying to explain to Riley as if he were about to cry.

"Spider-Man, please believe me! He just said he is Thor! I thought the lightning he just summoned was a signal to attack us... I never imagined the legendary Thor would be so fragile, and even get electrocuted!"

"Pfft... Of course I believe you, Max. After all, in this world, there's not just Thor who gets electrocuted. There are also those who always have time stopped by others, yet they themselves don't possess that skill. Even the only precious tool that can rewind time and save lives is flushed down the toilet—a time-traveling king who doesn't know how to use it in crucial moments..."

Fortunately, Max's sudden attack, though unexpected by Riley, was clearly a result of the magnitude of the electricity Max had released. He had remembered Riley's words and deliberately held back. He simply wanted to interrupt Thor's spellcasting and didn't intend to cause him any real harm.

So, faced with this famous scene where Thor, the god who wields the power of lightning, was once again electrocuted and knocked unconscious, Riley, who couldn't help but chuckle, didn't blame Max. Instead, he gently waved his hand to soothe Max's anxious emotions.

"However, next time, we hope you can discuss it with us before you take action, so we can be prepared and cooperate with you more easily, okay?"

"Okay, little spider, I got it! I'll be more careful next time!"

After Riley finished speaking, Max finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded vigorously, carefully noting down what Riley had said.

As for the time-manipulating master that Riley mentioned, who can have time stopped by others...

Max and everyone else present just thought Riley was joking.

After all, no matter how you look at it, according to normal logic...

If such an outrageous individual truly exists...

How could someone like that possibly earn the title of "King of Time"?
