Chapter 106. Thor, who never forgot his original aspiration.
The emergence of the immortality factor caused a huge uproar. This time, it was no longer a video that could be faked, nor a false speculation, but a real and tangible object.
Most importantly, it still came from the S.H.I.E.L.D. base.
It's hard to find absolute loyalty in this world. S.H.I.E.L.D. can infiltrate various forces, so naturally there are forces that can infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D., even though most of S.H.I.E.L.D. are Hydra. But there are always exceptions.
A tiny, extremely limited amount of immortality factor flowed into the world, sparking an unprecedented war in the underground world.
The Ten Rings Gang, Hydra, remnants of the Hand, A.1.M., and many other organizations lurking in the shadows, attempting to quietly seize control of the world.
Of course, our military was also involved. As for whether they wanted to protect Thor or take the opportunity to get more blood, that remains to be seen.

"Shit, why were immortality factors stolen? What is S.H.I.E.L.D. all about? Where's Fury? He hasn't shown up yet?"
Even the cunning Pierce couldn't help but lose his temper and curse. He really didn't know what to say about Fury that such a top-secret thing as the immortality factor could be stolen.
Most importantly, even at this point, Fury is still hiding somewhere, not even showing his face. What does this mean? Is he secretly plotting something?
Pierce stroked his smooth skin, the wrinkles on his face had disappeared, and he could feel a surge of vitality within him.
The immortality factor is definitely effective, and very effective, but unfortunately not enough. The immortality factor extracted from a small amount of blood is insufficient to grant a person immortality.
Furthermore, extracting the immortality factor requires not only Thor, but also that hammer. That hammer is needed to unlock the genetic blockade within Thor's body so that a usable blood sample can be extracted.
Getting the hammer isn't that difficult; we can force Steve to hand it over in the name of the greater good. The real issue is Thor's safety.
Initially, S.H.I.E.L.D. experts speculated that Asgardian gods were following Thor to protect him, but later Thor's hammer was lifted by someone other than Thor, and it has even been in Steve's hands ever since.
The determination that it was accompanied by gods is not so accurate, after all, a super weapon that any discerning person could see had fallen into the hands of mortals.
The Protoss wouldn't just stand by and do nothing, would they?
Therefore, Thor is in danger. Although Hydra wants to rule the world, it does not want to destroy it. If something happens to Thor, it will be an unprecedented interplanetary diplomatic incident.
For a race capable of interstellar travel, dealing with an Earth wouldn't be a difficult task.
This is what angered Pierce. It would have been better if the immortality factor hadn't been revealed, allowing him to conceal the truth, transfer Thor, and then trick him into giving blood for testing purposes, a gradual and persistent approach.
This way, Thor won't be harmed, nor will it cause a war between the two stars, and we can obtain the immortality factor, which can be described as a win-win-win situation.
And now?
The more powerful international organizations all knew about it and were sending people to New Mexico, with even more force being deployed.
Hydra's Super Soldier Serum can withstand it, but it will expose some of their strength. Furthermore, Fury, who has been hiding since Thor's arrival, gave Pierce a bad feeling, as if he knew something.
Most importantly, those organizations don't hold back when they start fighting. They don't care about life or death, or alien diplomacy. As long as they get the blood, that's all that matters. If Thor is injured or dead...
The organization most severely impacted was S.H.I.E.L.D., also known as Hydra.
Pierce rubbed his temples, feeling a terrible headache. For the first time, as one of the leaders of Hydra, he had a headache from protecting the world.
After a long while, he finally turned on the communication device in front of him, typed in a few lines of messages, and his expression gradually improved.
Now, the only thing we can do is protect Thor with all our might. In addition, we need to create a false sense of casualties for S.H.I.E.L.D. so that we can demand resources from the World Government.
Whatever Fury has discovered, he's only guessing for now, there are no results yet. If he really has discovered something and still doesn't listen, then he might as well replace the chief.
Pierce slowly disappeared into the darkness.
In New Mexico, Thor huddled in the shadows, his golden hair plastered to his forehead, large beads of sweat dripping down his face, his white shirt clinging to his skin.
He rubbed his eyes, which were stinging from the sweat, and said with a pained expression, "Steve, why do we have to do this kind of training? What's the point?"
Running under the blazing sun? Is that even a human thought? Especially since this is a desert, unbearably hot. What's even more outrageous is running barefoot.
Thinking of this, Thor couldn't help but rub his burning, bright red soles; he had never suffered like this before.
Steve stood under the blazing sun, his breathing long and steady, without a trace of disorder, and not a drop of sweat dripping from his face. He said solemnly, "This is one of the reasons you came to Earth: to experience things you've never felt before."
"Did you ever feel these things when you were a prince in Asgard? Training under the scorching sun, a disciplined lifestyle."
Thor shook his head. He had indeed never experienced these things. His incredibly strong physique gave him a powerful resistance to the natural environment.
Ordinary natural changes are nothing more than a gentle breeze to the powerful gods; they can travel freely through space with ease and survive even in the harshest environments.
Thor asked doubtfully, "But does this have anything to do with the purpose of my coming to Earth?"
Steve looked up into the distance, his gaze piercing through kilometers to see the workers still toiling under the scorching sun. He looked at Thor and said calmly, "This is the life of ordinary people: resting at sunset and working at sunrise, rain or shine."
"I've heard you mention fire giants and frost giants before. From the descriptions, I can tell that they have the ability to influence their surrounding environment."
"Have you ever considered that when war breaks out, the mere alteration of the environment by these giants could kill ordinary Asgardians?"
"Not every Asgardian has the same physical strength as you. Most ordinary Asgardians survive in war by sheer luck."
Steve paused, then asked again, "If you weren't a prince, not Odin's son, but just an ordinary person, what would you want most?"
Thor blurted out, "To become the strongest warrior in Asgard!"
Snapped.
Steve slapped his forehead, realizing he'd wasted his breath. Just as he was about to speak again, many unidentified targets suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
He scooped Thor up from the ground, a hint of excitement in his voice: "Back to the base, Thor. The real show is about to begin."
