"Kacha, boom …"
Accompanied by a sudden thunder, a large group of dark clouds quickly shrouded the night sky, covering the research facility below with white light.
At this moment, a dark figure, under the cover of the dark clouds, quickly ran to the barbed wire fence on the southwest side of the temporary research facility, squatted down, and pushed the shape of the barbed wire inwards with his fingers.
This dark figure was none other than the tall man who called himself Saul!
Under his tremendous strength, soon, a small opening big enough for an adult man to crawl through was created. Then Saul crouched down, and like the drill in military training, he moved his body through the barbed wire fence and entered the boundary of the temporary research facility. Then he got up again and hid in the shadows.
Almost at the next moment when Saul hid, a military jeep quickly drove to the gap, stopped, and two fully armed UA soldiers walked out of it.
"Over there." One of the soldiers said while shining a flashlight on the fence.
However, as soon as his voice fell, Saul's figure suddenly appeared next to another soldier behind him. He grabbed the soldier's raised rifle with one hand and slammed his elbow into the soldier's cheek.
"Bang!"
The soldier's eyes rolled back and he immediately fainted.
After taking care of a soldier, Saul didn't hesitate. He hurriedly waved the cloth gun in his hand and fiercely whipped the face of the soldier who had turned around to check after hearing the noise. The soldier was knocked unconscious with a single blow.
Then Saul picked up the soldier's black rainproof cloak and put it on himself. He walked to the temporary research facility as if he was "one of us."
However, before he could even take a few steps, a noisy alarm rang throughout the entire temporary research facility. The personnel began to patrol, searching for strangers who did not belong to the team.
"Kacha ~"
At this time. Another clap of thunder could be heard, and as if to protect Saul, a heavy downpour suddenly fell from the sky.
Saul, who also thought that God was helping him, chuckled softly. He stopped hiding and jogged towards the nearest passage.
"Enter the south passage!" An agent who just happened to discover his behavior reported through the radio.
Immediately, a large number of security personnel began to rush to the south passage.
But at this moment, it was as if Saul had been possessed by Rambo or a Marine. He displayed extremely high-end close combat skills. He knocked down the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who rushed to the scene and rushed toward the Mjölnir stored in the center of the facility.
"Do you need me to go over?" The Voice-Mimicking Bird asked.
"Wait, I want to watch." Agent Coulson, who was arranging the defense through the radio, said softly.
"Watch what? Watch how he defeated those agents? "The Voice-Mimicking Bird asked.
"Everything." Coulson turned his head and looked at the Voice-Mimicking bird beside him.
While the two of them were talking, Sol had already broken through the layers of obstacles and arrived at the core of the temporary research facility, standing beside Mjolnir.
"All of you, stop." Coulson, who saw Saul's expression and movements through the monitor, picked up the walkie-talkie again and ordered.
"You think he can lift that hammer?" the Imitation Bird asked curiously.
"I don't know," Coulson replied. "But there's no harm in trying, right?"
The Voice-Mimicking Bird heard this and shrugged slightly, just like Coulson. It stared intently at the monitor in front of it.
Under everyone's gaze, Saul reached out and grabbed the handle of Mjölnir. His face was full of joy and contentment as he lifted the hammer … But the next moment. The expression on Saul's face changed because, just like other people who wanted to pick up the hammer, no matter how hard he pulled, the hammer would not budge. It was as if the hammer was tightly connected to the ground and did not move an inch. It did not show any signs of what he expected at all.
Saul's face was full of frustration and frustration. He looked up at the sky and roared as if he was venting his anger. Then, he knelt down beside Mjölnir. He let the agents who received Coulson's order take him down.
"A hammer … Speaking of which, there seems to be a hammer-type artifact on Earth." Sei Itō stood on a high ground somewhere outside the temporary research facility. He looked down at the scene below and whispered to himself.
"If I have time, I can go to Antarctica and look for it."
Thinking of this, Sei Itō did not hesitate. He immediately moved and disappeared from the spot. The next moment, he appeared in the sky above the Antarctic continent. Then, he released his mental power and explored the entire Antarctic continent.
Under Sei Itō's careful exploration of the majestic mental power covering the entire Antarctic continent, almost instantly, a cement castle similar to the Nazi castle of World War II appeared in his mind through his perception.
Sei Itō withdrew his perception and only left a part of his mind to lock the location of the castle. "I have to say, the human technology in the Marvel world is powerful. It's even more terrifying than the legends of World War II in the main world. They actually had the ability to directly build a house near the center of the Antarctic continent at that time." Then, his figure flashed again and appeared in front of the castle.
The shape of the castle was similar to the bunkers of World War II, but it had a Western castle feel. The whole castle was built of cement. The walls were about 30 meters high and 20 meters wide. The whole castle only had an alloy gate in front of it as a normal entrance and exit. However, in the extremely cold environment of Antarctica, the entire castle had been frozen. The surface was frozen with thick ice, making the whole castle look like a huge ice amber.
Around the castle, wooden shelves that resembled crosses were erected in a disorderly manner within a radius of tens of meters. Although they were also frozen by the ice shell, one could still vaguely see their original purpose — to be the fulcrum of the defensive barbed wire fence, and not some tombstone of the dead.
At this time, Sei Itō stepped forward and reached out and pressed on the ice wall in front of him. Without any movement, the entire ice wall melted at a speed visible to the naked eye. The alloy door inside was exposed.
Then, Sei Itō stepped forward again. He pressed his hand on the alloy door, but there was still no movement. The entire door melted, turning into a pile of molten iron that flowed to the ground, revealing the pitch-black and cold space behind the door.
It was a spacious hall that was about the size of a basketball court. There were no decorations in the hall. It was empty and filled with ice crystals. A golden-handled sledgehammer that was about half the height of a person stood diagonally on the ground. It exuded a faint holy light.
Seeing the sledgehammer, Sei Itō smiled gently and stepped in front of the sledgehammer.
The sledgehammer was about 1.2 meters long. The handle was made of a round wood as thick as a child's arm. The head and tail were wrapped in a layer of golden round head. A straight length of 27 to 28 centimeters and the widest part of the sledgehammer had a diameter of 15 centimeters. It looked like an oversized solid weight. A golden ring that looked like a Western-style rapier guard supported part of the sledgehammer head. It was also for the wielder to carry.
And on the golden ring at the end of the sledgehammer's handle, a secret text written in Runes flickered with a magical light, reminding the person who came to see the sledgehammer's identity.
"Only a true Venerable can wield Skadi's Hammer."
Skadi, one of the goddesses in Norse mythology. Her main priesthoods were hunting, skiing, winter, and mountains. However, she was most well known for her identity as the Goddess of Winter.
"The divine weapon in the Marvel World, the hammer. She loves these messy conditions. "Sei Itō, who had taken in the Norse sacred text, curled his lips and thought to himself.
But that was just a thought. He really didn't reach out to take the hammer. This was because Sei Itō still remembered clearly that the daughter of Red Skull in the original work, Red Skull, had obtained the divine power of the Goddess of Winter because she had picked up the hammer and become the Goddess of Winter. Becoming the Winter Goddess … Although Ito Seiji believed that the last point was unlikely, considering the messed up nature of the Marvel Multiverse, Ito Seiji still maintained the mindset that he would rather believe it than not, and was ready to give such a rare opportunity to his women.
Then, Sei Itō began to recall the suitable candidates to inherit the divine power of the Goddess of Winter and become the Goddess of Winter's women.
But after thinking for a long time, Sei Itō finally chose five people who didn't meet the requirements. One of them was the Sleeper who was originally prepared for Helibel to absorb — Serafina, who had also been invaded by the divine power of Poseidon. The second was Saint Seiya, who was born in the same world as her. The third was Athena, who was born in the world of KOF. The fourth was Yagami Gale, who was born in the world of Magical Girl Naia, and the last was Ossola, who was the pope of the Saint Church under Sei Itō.
Among them, Serafina's attributes were the most suitable because of her birthplace. Saint Seiya and Athena were more suitable because they were both experts. It should be easier for them to adapt to a weapon like the hammer. Yagami Gale had the help of the Book of Night, so it should be easier for him to inherit the hammer. Moreover, most of the large-scale attack spells she knew were ice spells. Using the hammer of the Goddess of Winter and her divine power complemented each other better. As for Ossola, it was purely to give her a chance to become a god.
Of course, apart from them, Wahwa, who had cultivated the Book of the Chaos in the Legend of Son of Heaven, was also suitable. However, her attributes and system were too different, so she was sold outside.
As for the others, Sei Itō really couldn't figure out which parts of them were compatible with the hammer of the Goddess of Winter. This was also an inevitable limitation of this type of Divine Artifact. Although it was simple and could grant great power when picked up, it wasn't as good as the captured gods themselves. Even if they couldn't find a suitable person, they could still use their divine body and divine soul to refine the essence of power and transform everyone.
Sei Itō then pondered for a moment. Still unable to decide who to give the hammer to, he had a thought and summoned Saint Seiya, Magong Athena, Yagami Gale, and Ossola to his side.
As for Seiya, she was still in a state of hibernation because she hadn't been healed yet, so she wasn't summoned together.
"Big Brother."
"My Lord."
"Alright."
Yagami Jifeng and the others who had just appeared called out to Itosei in their own unique way.
"Sss, it's so cold," Yagami Gale said as he hugged his shoulders and shivered. Then, like a chain reaction, Athena Asamiya and Ossola Asamiya also trembled. On the other hand, Saint Seiya wasn't affected too much due to the power of the mini universe. She only felt a little cold.
"It's my fault." Seeing the state of these people, Ito Sei apologized, and then with a thought, he set up a Domain Enchantment around his body, repelling the cold air from the outside.
"Big Brother, where is this place?" Yagami Gale, who felt much better immediately, looked around curiously and asked.
"Deep in the south pole of Earth in a certain universe." Sei Itō explained. Then, he looked at Skati's Hammer in front of him and continued, "Do you see this hammer?"
Yagami Gale and the others turned to look at Skati's Hammer.
"This is the hammer of Skati, the Goddess of Winter in Norse mythology. In this world, the Goddess of Winter's Divine Power is sealed in it. Anyone who can pick it up will inherit the Divine Power of Winter and become the new Goddess of Winter. Although I have reservations about the last condition, in order to prevent unnecessary losses, I called out the few of you who are most likely to pick up this hammer in my heart. "
"Now, it's up to your luck," Sei Itō said.
After hearing Sei Itō's explanation, Yagami Gale and the others looked at each other and saw the shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.
"Forget about me. I'll be satisfied as long as I serve My Lord and help him manage his church. As for becoming a God, I'll leave it to you guys, "Ossola shook her head and said to Yagami Gale and the others with a smile.
"I'm a Saint Seiya of the Goddess. Although I desire power, I won't seek external power. Moreover, I'm not used to using a weapon like a hammer. I'll give up," Ossola said.
"Erm … I'm a superhuman. I don't think it's compatible with Divine Power. Like this sister, I don't know how to use a weapon like a hammer. Sister, it's better for you to pick it up. " Athena Ma Gong also declined. However, she didn't sound determined. It wasn't that she wanted to become a God and coveted the power of a God. After all, Ma Gong Athena was one of the few pure people in KOF's world. Instead, she seemed to be curious about what Sei Itō was talking about and wanted to give it a try but was too shy to do so.
"Is this really okay?" Yagami Jifeng looked at the three unfamiliar sisters and blinked a few times. Then, he turned to Ito Sei, who had a nonchalant expression on his face.
