"Holy shit, it's Thor's hammer ...I think!" Jin said to himself as he went around to look at the relic. "Is it possible for me to hold it?" He asked the old servant and the latter did not reject his request. After all, he was the new successor to the Moon King.
Jin took a long good glance at the hammer before putting his hand on it. He knew that if this so called Moon King had managed to kill a monster of a celestial named Thor, he was no ordinary Moon King. Yet at the same time, this must be extremely grave news to the Norse Celestials since they not just lost a major god but a powerhouse at that.
Unless the mythologies did not correspond to the ones Jin knew, they must be extremely angry to this particular world.
Perhaps, they could keep this under wraps for the past 2000 years but it might not have been the case anymore. The loss of such a powerhouse celestial would definitely cause them to move in at a pace where annihilation is inevitable for this planet.
At the same time, Jin also remembered how Thor's hammer would only respond to the one who was righteous, or to put it simply, worthy to wield it. So, when Jin heaved a deep breath in hopes that he did not get electrocuted the second he touched it, he secretly hoped that he was worthy despite all the things he had done.
Yet, when he held onto it, all he could feel was a strong burst of hatred permeating through the hammer as if it was going to bite him whole if he was not careful. This was not some worthy hammer. It was filled with so much bitterness that could not be compared even with any demon's emotions at all.
But because of all the training that Jin had gone through and the fact that his Maqi was still active, he had decided to brave through this hatred and fight against it so that he could understand the meaning, the emotions and perhaps the thoughts of this leftover legendary relic.
"That fucking bastard! Just because he can make a brand new relic, he had to throw me here just to escape this place!" The Hammer shouted and suddenly realised that despite being blinded by anger, misery, hatred, and desperation for being stuck in this state for so many years, he finally saw that there was someone holding him.
"WHO IS THIS?" The Hammer boomed and instead of letting go, Jin calmly said his name.
"Jin. Outsider."
"Outsider?" The Hammer calmed down a little or maybe got a little hopeful, something which he had not felt for the past two thousand years. "Does that mean that I can get out of this fucking place?" It did not care why the person who was able to hold him was able to communicate with him but at this point, he did not care.
"Depends on your definition. If you mean this musky looking room, then yes. But if you mean from this world, then perhaps not now." Jin said with a shrug and it seemed that he really was not 'worthy' as he was not able to lift up the hammer. However, as he was conversing telepathic with the hammer, he did not let go of it.
In the meantime, the old servant was in awe as he never expected someone or anyone, let alone a potential Moon King candidate to be able to hold on to the hammer for this long.
"How do you know I am celestial when you are an outsider? Have you had contact with one of us before? I erm mean, my master's kind before?" The hammer suddenly got suspicious.
"You could say I got into the same situation as you. If I am not wrong, you were left here right?"
"Thrown against a giant elemental rock, allowing my previous master to flee."
"Well, Mr Discarded, I was teleported because this group of celestial think that it would be fun to throw me to some virtual reality world, causing my body and soul to separate for quite some time."
"Huh, then how did you get it back? Wait a minute. Now that you mention it, your body do seem to have a familiar smell now that I concentrated sensing you."
"My friends were able to retrieve me. Then my soul got connected back through some heavy carrying support from my comrades...although the said comrades now throw me here for me to survive myself. They said it was for some trial."
"Lol. Then they aren't really your friends then?" The hammer asked, now starting to feel a little empathy not just for Jin but also able to connect with him.
"Nah, this trial was necessary to prepare ourselves against a possible attack from the Celestials. One of my erm...colleagues had their world wiped out due to a whim from Ares."
"Erm...yeah. Such things do happen... They needed it for the annihilation trial. My master did the same when he came here."
"Why though, aren't they strong enough? And I thought they have the only chance to do this trial...if my knowledge is not lacking." Jin asked.
"Nah, the trial can be done many times. You just need to know the loopholes to do so. But power begets power, ya know? From what I know Demons also do this."
"Yea, I had been sent here by a colleague with some demonic background," Jin said and the Hammer laughed followed by him.
"So, what do you propose fellow temporarily discarded?" The Hammer asked.
