"Alright, alright. You don't have to be so angry about it. Say, let me give you a copy of my shield generator blueprint! I'll even help you apply the efficiency tweak to the barrier above Wakanda! Be thankful that you can have my prized expertise on your disposal!"
Tony knew that he was in the wrong, so he told T'Challa his compensation plan!
Of course, T'Challa was right. Back when Tony visited Wakanda that one time, he had taken fancy to the flying vehicle technology used in there, so he had Jarvis secretly hack into Wakanda's system!
While looking for the schematics for the flying devices, Tony ended up discovering a wealth of advanced technologies within the Wakandan database. Someone like Tony obviously wouldn't miss the chance to secretly copy all of those information!
Including, but not limited to, this energy shield technology.
There were obviously many more technical information that Tony hadn't had the time to play around with because he had been too busy with analyzing the serum!
He took particular interest in the energy shield technology a few months ago because he thought that he could incorporate it to his nanotech armor, so he spared some time to tinker and improve it!
And the result is in front of everyone's eyes!
"Bah! Who cares about your so-called expertise!" T'Challa snorted dismissively!
But he wasn't entirely opposed to the idea. After the years he spent as the acting Black Panther, he had gained new perspectives! He didn't believe that Wakanda should continue its total isolation!
The problem was that he was still only the prince of Wakanda. He cannot make such a major decision!
...
"Tony, what is the Dark Room mode? What did you make this special mode for?
Li Yue was still confused as he watched Thor being surrounded by energy shield.
(T/N "Small Black Room" is re-translated into "Dark Room," apparently it was a reference to a browser game)
Li Yue didn't think that the shield would be able to withstand a full-power attack from him, but it would probably hold back someone at the level of Thor and Hulk for a while!
"Cough, cough. Well, naturally, I need to be prepared for interacting with non-human beings like you. Think about my villa! Who knows when you people would suddenly rampage and tear my beautiful villa to ruins!
"Just look at Thor! It's a good thing that I was prepared, otherwise my villa would be destroyed!"
Tony answered Li Yue, as if it was obvious!
"Well, it's quite impressive! You could probably block some of the weaker people with this shield. Although, I'm afraid that it would only take a few punches from Hulk to break it!"
Li Yue glanced at Banner beside him!
"I concur with Li Yue. As the one who understands Hulk's terror the most, I think that there is almost nothing that can stop it! This kind of shield can probably hold for a few seconds before it can tear it apart!"
Banner suddenly had a traumatic flashback of Hulk and its immense strength, but he then snapped back to reality. "The only exception being a pervert like Li Yue!"
He still remembered the vivid fear that he inherited from Hulk after Li Yue utterly dominated it!
...
The discussion didn't really continue after that. Tony's protection was enough to ensure their safety, so they didn't feel any need to get away and seek a safe place! They instead continued to observe Thor's state!
Thor's entire body was completely enveloped by dazzling silver lightning, his sun-like radiance hurting the eyes of his observers!
They had no way of knowing that the sky above Tony's villa was covered by thick, rolling black clouds, covering the sunlight in an oppressive darkness!
Two observers in black suits not far from Tony's villa was shocked by the change in weather!
"What's going on? The weather was so clear just a few minutes ago, how did it suddenly become so dark?"
"Calm down! Don't you know who we are monitoring right now? Asgard's God of Thunder is in the villa. This is probably his doing!!"
The other agent was rather casual about the apocalyptic scene!
"I...see. I've only heard of Asgardians, I didn't know much about them. I was just transferred because I had a mission nearby!
"Should we report this situation?"
The shocked agent asked to their calm colleague!
"I don't think it's necessary. The thunders are loud, but the rain is small! The cloud had been gathering for half a day, but there wasn't a single bolt...of...lightning…"
Boom... Crack!
Just before the calm agent could finish his sentence, a booming thunder drowned his voice! It was like a bomb had dropped right beside them, exploding with a deafening blast!
It was as if the rolling dark clouds were all a prelude for this single bolt of lightning. The dazzling light seemed to split the sky in half, dissipating the dark clouds!
The sky then returned to its clear state, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion!
"That...we should report that one!" The agent stuttered in shock!
"Hey, boss, there is a special situation here. A bolt of lightning struck the villa. What should we do next?..."
...
The people inside the villa were also surprised by the lightning!
Li Yue clearly saw a pillar of lightning slamming directly on Thor's head. Tony's energy shield held no chance against it!
"Ah!"
The lightning continuously struck Thor's body! It was completely absorbed as Thor roared! The experiment table was immediately destroyed into smithereens!
"My villa! Thor, you idiot!"
Tony yelled in exasperation as he saw a massive hole formed in his villa! On top of that, much of the facilities in the villa were damaged by the lightning!
"Well, Thor should be fine even with lightning that size, right?"
Then again, Tony had demolished and remodeled the villa many times before, so his frustration didn't last all too long. He instead began worrying about Thor!
"Hehe, do you really think that a God of Thunder would be hurt by a lightning?"
Li Yue was a little speechless. Thor was God of Thunder, no matter how strong the lightning was, he would be unharmed!
Although, Li Yue couldn't help but think of that time Thor got electrocuted by Valkyrie in his third movie! It was hilarious!
Supposedly, the director of that movie rectified the rumored discrepancy by claiming that Valkyrie used neurotoxin to incapacitate Thor! But Li Yue didn't think that makes sense either!
...
The lightning surrounding Thor finally dissipated. No, instead of dissipating, it was gathering in Thor's hand!
The dazzling lightning gathered in Thor's hand seemed to have its own thoughts, constantly surging and changing forms!
Thor also seemed to suddenly woke up. He looked at the lightning in his hand. He turned it into the shape of Mjolnir and waved it a few times, before changing it into the shape of the Stormbreaker and waving it again!
He took some time happily experimenting with the shape of various weapon!
Finally, he changed the lightning into the appearance of his father Odin - Gungnir, and slammed it on the ground. A shockwave and tremor swept in all directions!
"Haha, that's right, there's also that!"
Thor changed the shape of the lightning from Gungnir to Li Yue's weapon, the Trident Halberd!
"Having fun, are we, Thor?"
Li Yue was speechless when Thor shaped the lightning into his own weapon! The room wasn't soundproof, so Thor can hear him!
"Hehe, alright, alright!"
Thor noticed Li Yue's impatient tone and quickly dispersed the lightning version of "Trident Halberd" in his hand. He then slowly formed a small ball of lightning in his palm!
"Haha, Li Yue, look, I can also do this now!"
Thor bounced the ball of lightning around like a happy puppy! He then opened his mouth and ate the lightning ball!
"Li Yue, you lied to me. What chicken flavor; it doesn't taste of anything at all!!"
