[Sorry about yesterday, took a sick day off!]
Tsunade: "The C-virus has the power to turn people into zombies, and these zombies can evolve by consuming others."
Nick Fury: "What?! Such a terrifying virus exists?"
Orochimaru: "Heh heh, Tsunade, you're oversimplifying it. It's not just about turning into monsters; it's about fostering a new kind of evolution."
Tsunade: "Orochimaru! You're here too?!"
Orochimaru: "I don't know how, but suddenly I could see this screen and communicate with all of you. So, this is your secret? The powers we obtained earlier came from here, didn't they? Fascinating."
Garp: "This is the first time I've encountered something like this. By the way, Orochimaru, what do you mean by 'new evolution'?"
Orochimaru: "The C-virus can reconstruct biological genes. Zombies are merely the result of inhaling a diluted form of the C-virus. However, if injected with the full version, one doesn't become a zombie but rather evolves into a Javo—a being with higher intelligence and strength, incredible regenerative abilities, and the potential for further evolution."
Orochimaru: "After injecting the C-virus, I evolved beyond humanity, gaining unimaginable power!"
Clint Barton: "Is it just me, or does this guy sound like some kind of cult leader?"
Jiraiya: "He's always been a bit creepy."
Orochimaru: "That's your ignorance talking. I'm simply sharing my research findings."
Natasha Romanoff: "He's a bit like Tony Stark, isn't he?"
Tony Stark: "Hey! That's not funny."
Tsunade: "Whatever you call it, those zombies and Javos are mindless puppets, lacking any true consciousness. They're less than human."
Orochimaru: "That's because I only gave them a low-grade version of the C-virus. With a full dose, they wouldn't be. Moreover, if most of the world were without individual thought, wouldn't there be no more conflict? Wars happen because of differing ideologies. If the world were controlled by a single will, there would be no war."
Diana: "Are you joking? Controlling the world's thoughts? What kind of madman are you?! What gives you the right?"
Tony Stark: "She's right. If you tried to control my thoughts, I'd make sure you regretted it. Without individual thought, this world wouldn't exist as it does."
Orochimaru: "But it's precisely because of uncontrolled thoughts that conflicts and wars persist. My vision is one that few can accept, but that's irrelevant. I'll continue mass-producing the C-virus and eventually control the world."
Jiraiya: "I'll stop you!"
Orochimaru: "We'll see."
Natasha Romanoff: "Wow, where did this creepy psychopath come from?"
Rhodey: "Glad he's not in our world; that would be a nightmare."
Nobita: "ZZZZZZ"
Suddenly, a string of "Zs" appeared, leaving everyone puzzled. What was happening?
Luffy: "Nobita, what are you saying?"
Nobita: "ZZZZZZ"
Zoro: "I think he's actually asleep."
Doraemon: "Sorry about that. He came home from school and fell asleep right away."
Nick Fury: "Can't you wake him up? These Zs are blocking the screen."
Doraemon: "It's tough to wake him once he's asleep. He was supposed to do his homework first, but skipped it again. He ended up staying late at school to finish his work today. This bad habit of his is hard to break."
Doraemon: "Does anyone have suggestions on how to fix this?"
Garp: "Easy, throw him into the wilderness and see if he dares sleep then."
Everyone fell silent at Garp's suggestion, except for Luffy, who shuddered at the memory.
Garp: "But seeing all these Zs makes me want to..."
Garp, Luffy, Zoro: "ZZZZZZ"
Nami: "Why is sleepiness contagious through the screen?!"
Sengoku: "Garp! Stop embarrassing yourself!"
Rhodey: "Are these guys for real?"
Thor: "Hey, Loki, Father, are you there? Can I come back now?"
Odin: "Thor, not until you've reflected on your actions!"
Thor: "No way!"
Tony Stark: "What's this about? Kicked out of your home?"
Thor: "How did you know?"
Tony Stark: "So it's true, huh?"
Clint Barton: "By the way, something fell in the desert in Mexico a few days ago. It was that hammer Thor used in the last broadcast."
Clint Barton: "The strange thing is, no one can lift it, not even Thor. How could you lift it before and now you can't?"
Thor: "My father stripped me of my godly power."
Loki: "Thor, just accept your punishment."
Thor: "Waaah!"
Nick Fury: "What?! Asgardians on Earth?!"
Fury was taken aback by the revelation. He had witnessed Thor's power during the previous broadcast. Such a powerful being on Earth could be either a blessing or a curse. But now that Thor was powerless, it might be worth reaching out to him.
"Natasha, you're coming with me to Mexico."
Fury quickly made his decision.
...
Kamar-Taj
The Ancient One was unsurprised. She had foreseen this.
...
A Bar in a Small Mexican Town
Since Thor had been unable to lift Mjolnir, he had been drowning his sorrows in alcohol at the local bar.
"Thor, you really should drink less. Remember, you're spending someone else's money," Jane Foster reminded him.
"Oh, sorry."
Thor finally acknowledged, glancing at Ryner, who was sharing drinks with him.
"It's fine. I can afford it."
Ryner didn't mind. The money from the broadcast editing system was substantial—millions from the last payout alone. Treating Thor to drinks was no big deal.
"Thank you, Ryner. You're a good friend. One day, I'll take you to Asgard!"
Thor was visibly moved, clinking glasses with Ryner. Since falling to Earth, he had been penniless, relying on Ryner and Jane Foster for everything.
After taking a sip of his drink, Ryner glanced at the screen.
From the audience's perspective, this was quite interesting, though it felt a bit like public shaming.
As everyone chatted, the broadcast continued.
...
"The next SCP to be predicted is called Between the Stairs," the electronic voice announced.
