Chapter 49 - Mjolnir Lands

I stared at the Abomination's approaching head. He was now 20 centimeters away from me. 'Think. What could I possibly do?'

My brain was whirling around like a category five hurricane. I didn't think my body would react in time until...

"UUUURGHHHH!" Abomination screamed.

My bones had grown out of my ribcage. They were no longer bones though, just masses of Titanium. Pain shot through me quickly being suppressed by the adrenaline coursing through my veins.

Abomination staggered back clutching at his head. My Titanium bones were currently retracting back into my body, and it felt like constantly being shot in the same place. My Titanium bones had a hard time piercing through Abominations skull. Because of that, I hadn't managed to touch his brain, but with my advanced eyesight, I could see that his skill was cracked with a chunk of it missing.

I turn my full attention back to my other opponent. Hulk was still trying to press me into the ground with his continuous punches that I couldn't even feel anymore because my hand had gone numb.

Ignoring the pain of a hole in the side of my body, I slowly tried to get out of the hole. It was amazing that even with the floor being Titanium reinforced it was still being bashed in by the Hulk. Even more surprising, my body hasn't turned into a puddle of goo!

I could not get out of the hole, and I knew the only way to get out was to distract or straight out beat the Hulk in physical strength. But my body had a different idea.

My fingers slowly reformed themselves. Nails got longer and sharper, but still made out of Titanium. I will have to upgrade myself to Vibranium in the future.

The thing was I was only calling my skin Titanium because it had the same properties as it. High melting point, color, density nearly everything was the same. But it wasn't real Titanium. My body had only gained some of the traits of it because my body instinctively felt they were beneficial. Or more precisely, my subconscious thought it.

Anyway, I am thinking stray thoughts again. My nails turned into something, akin to claws. There was not any mass gained as they had become thinner and less wide to gain sharpness. I felt it happening and instantly lifted my nails up.

The Hulk did not stop it's pounding, and it brought it's fist down to strike me again but instead of the sturdy and broad metal Hulk expected a painful stinging sensation spread through his hand. Confused by what happened the Hulk lifted it's hands nearly screaming in pain from doing so and looked at what it had hit.

Hulks eyes widened as he saw the sharp nails he had impaled his hands on. Green blood covered them, and Aaron was smirking. Hulk staggered back and ġrȯȧnėd in agony.

I was happy at winning finally but ... That didn't last long. Seconds later, the pain finally registered. It wasn't as bad as the pain of getting this ability, but it was still excruciating. And I felt so HUNGRY!

It was sort of expected as my body was currently healing the wound at an incredible speed. It had to get the nutrients somewhere.

Hulk saw this as an opportunity but held himself back. It was only a training spar after all, and even with his limited intelligence, he could tell that they were both injured and that any further fighting wouldn't get his master any benefits.

"Let's stop now Hulk. Jarvis gets Hulk and Abomination some medical attention. Also, tell Tony to bring me some Vibranium," I said.

"It shall be done, sir. Also, the hammer which nobody can lift you wanted me to look out for in Mexico appeared three hours ago. People are starting to gather there to see if they can lift it." Jarvis informed me.

I smirked. "Good. Also, get me 55 pizzas. I feel I will eat more than usual today." I said with a smirk. I knew it was unhealthy for me to eat so many pizzas, but I was a shinobi. I burned fat off like it was just flicking a fly off your shoulder. "Have you made any progress on finding Kamar-Taj yet?" I asked.

"No, but our camouflaged drones caught people appearing and disappearing through golden portals that appear seemingly out of nowhere. There have also been a lot of people walking into a door in Nepal and then being spotted again several minutes later in a completely different part of the world." Jarvis monotone voice came out of some speakers that I had installed nearly everywhere.

"Good. Keep a record of anyone that exits and enters that door. Do not follow them, though, as that would be useless. Masters of the Mystic Arts can be... Slippery." I said with a glint in my eyes. For years had I been searching for Kamar-Taj. And trust me it was not as easy as going to Nepal and asking everyone you can see about Kamar-Taj. I had multiple people try that on multiple occasions.

I think that the Ancient One knew I was looking but decided not to do anything about it. Her reasons though were still unknown.

"Jarvis also tells Tony to go to that car race..." I said, thinking. It would be beneficial if I could lure out that guy who managed to recreate the arc reactor. Forgot his name though. That's why I hadn't found him yet.

"Yes, sir," Jarvis replied.

"Also find Reed. I will need him to get the portal open again. Actually, I don't need him, but I feel it will take up to much of my time. And right now with Thor and everything else going on my time is precious. So find him and make him work on the Quantum Teleporter." I told Jarvis.
