Chapter 359 The faster the speed, the louder the sound.
In order not to cause panic among ordinary people, the banquet was held on the plain where Hope tested the "Phoenix Force".
Far from populated areas and with very ordinary scenery, Hope once again demonstrated the power of the "Phoenix Force," causing vegetation to flourish and rise from the ground wherever the flames passed.
Various flowers and fruits were everywhere, instantly transforming this desolate and uninhabited place into a tourist attraction.
"White Queen" watched Connors and the others laughing and joking in the distance. "Iron Man" specially brought over a bunch of stuff from Avengers Tower, including a bar, drinks, a pool table, gambling tables and other miscellaneous entertainment facilities.
In addition, he even brought out a new suit of armor, allowing Connors to fully indulge his passion for Iron Man armor.
Captain America's shield can be used in Connors's hands in all sorts of ways, thrown at all sorts of strange angles and with all sorts of force, and it always bounces back steadily into his hand.
Connors also tried out other things, such as Hawkeye's arrows and Ant-Man's Pym Particles.
The White Queen sat alone in her chair, a glass of champagne in hand, enjoying the breeze. Her thoughts had barely drifted when she heard a series of sounds.
The White Queen's lifeless eyes immediately sharpened, and her body instantly transformed into a diamond-like state before she turned to look at the source of the sound.
"This is what my father said: 'Whoever is qualified to lift Thor's hammer will gain the power of Thor!'"
While Connors was fiddling with the superheroes' weapons, someone suddenly mentioned Thor's hammer, and Thor took the opportunity to explain the magic he had put on his hammer.
It was his statement that drew loud comments from the crowd. After all, it was a relaxed and pleasant occasion, and everyone wanted to see if they were truly worthy of the hammer.
Even the White Queen leaned closer, holding her wine glass, wanting to see what was going on.
Only Namor held his trident with both hands as if he were hugging his wife, looking as if he didn't even bother to glance at the hammer.
"So, anyone who's worthy of it can have the same power as you?" Hawkeye said, mimicking Thor.
"Maybe it's just too heavy for an average person to lift, but we have plenty of strong guys among us. Who wants to give it a try?" Quicksilver called out from the side. "You're right, because Thor has taken this hammer in elevators quite a few times, so it's definitely not ridiculously heavy." Ant-Man nodded in agreement.
"If I use my webs to pull up this hammer, will I become 'Thor,' or will the webs become 'Thor'?" Spider-Man was eager to try.
The three of them were the atmosphere-maker among the superheroes; their boisterous antics immediately drew the other superheroes together.
"Come on, try it out. Whoever can lift the hammer might just add another purpose to our banquet."
Thor, the "God of Thunder," wasn't one to spoil the fun. Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, he simply threw his hammer onto the open ground and gestured for them to enter.
The atmosphere team went first. Quicksilver cracked and stretched his muscles, then took a running start and grabbed the hammer. The superheroes with poor eyesight only saw a flash of silver before Quicksilver collapsed to the ground, clutching his arm and yelling.
"Call the doctor quickly! -- His skin has turned white."
The crowd gasped. Captain America stepped forward, grabbed Quicksilver's arm with one hand and supported his shoulder with the other, and snapped him back into place with a click.
The second one is Spider-Man. This guy went up, grabbed the hammer, and lifted it with all his might, but the hammer didn't budge.
"Hey bro, give me a hand, get bigger." Spider-Man said to Ant-Man, who was watching the commotion, as he flicked his wrist.
Ant-Man nodded, and his body immediately swelled to tens of meters tall, extending one of his arms.
Spider-Man raised his hand and a web stuck to Ant-Man's hand, then he swung in the air, quickly reaching a speed where Ant-Man's palm was drawing circles in the air.
Whoosh!
The spider silk stuck firmly to the hammer handle.
Even with the help of centrifugal force, Spider-Man was still powerless against the hammer.
Ant-Man had been itching to get his hands on the hammer for a long time. He stretched out two fingers and pinched the hammer, but even with his face turning red, he couldn't budge it an inch.
Then the other superheroes took turns, and Iron Man put his Iron Man suit back on, intending to give it a try.
Unsurprisingly, Iron Man also failed, and even Captain America couldn't lift the hammer.
Just when everyone thought no one could lift the hammer today, "Iron Man" suddenly looked around:
Where are they?
Captain America looked around with him:
"Who?"
"The main character today?"
Upon hearing this, Captain America looked around and indeed found that Connors had disappeared.
Inside the mysterious house.
"Do you know what speed can bring?"
Connors and the White Queen sat in the living room of the Mysterious House, watching her forced smile despite her obvious disappointment, and deliberately teased her.
"Speed—" The White Queen blinked and thought for a moment, "Like in the movies, like Fast and Furious?"
"Well, that answer isn't entirely wrong, but I wasn't talking about American movies, I was talking about 'Little Days'," Connors corrected. The White Queen thought for a long time but couldn't answer. She couldn't remember any racing movies from "Little Days," so she looked to Connors for help.
"The faster it goes, the louder it gets, I mean the car," Connors said. "But would you let me drive it for a bit?"
He had noticed the White Queen's low spirits long ago. With his "Athena's Vision," he rarely missed any details. Even if he didn't notice them at the time, he would remember them when he thought back on them later.
She didn't understand the first half of "White Queen," but when she heard the second half, she immediately understood. However, stubborn as ever, she still didn't give a direct answer.
"You should go find Hope, Wanda, and Magee, I—"
Before she could finish speaking, her mouth was covered. The White Queen's eyes widened involuntarily, but when she looked at Connors' face, she chose to slowly close them.
Connors, who possesses the ability to "reach the limits of the human body," can easily soothe the White Queen with words alone, but he remembers someone teaching him this back in China:
Women don't like...
Whether it's the literal meaning or something only an experienced person would understand, Connors chose to listen to advice and swallow his complaints, leaving the White Queen with her unfinished grievances.
Standing, she is like Maitreya with hands clasped; sitting, she is like lotus petals opening. This time, Storm didn't come to compete with the White Queen. In the mysterious house where time had no concept, the White Queen enjoyed herself to the fullest for several hours.
After Connors filled the White Queen's cream puff and left the Mysterious House, he happened to see a large group of people searching for him. Thor's hammer was still on the ground, and no one could lift it.
Thor sat to the side with a smile, letting some Avengers and mutants with itchy hands try to lift him up.
Just when everyone was helpless against the hammer, Connors smiled slightly, stepped forward and grabbed the handle. The superheroes held their breath and stared. Thor's smile remained, but then his expression changed, becoming quite helpless.
Connors gripped the hammer handle and stood upside down:
"Look, the hammer has lifted the Earth along with it."
