Thor swore that this was the first time he had ever seen an Earthling reveal his identity so calmly!
The equipment this person was wearing looked anything but ordinary, and his presence was imposing. Was this guy not putting Thor in his eyes at all?
So, if you don't strike first, at least you need to regain your dignity, right?
Thinking that, Thor weighed Mjolnir in his hand, eager to give it a try.
At the same time, Black Widow aboard the Quinjet suddenly received a call.
After answering it, she switched the aircraft to autopilot—and jumped out!
At this altitude, ordinary agents would never dare to do such a thing. After all, they were agents, not someone with Captain America's physique!
But today, Black Widow had come prepared—fully equipped with individual combat gear from Antarctic Military Industries!
"Whoosh!"
She landed to Iron Man Tony's left.
"Tony, stop!"
Then, without waiting for Tony's response, she turned to the God of Thunder on the opposite side.
"Thor, please don't continue causing trouble on Earth!"
Thor didn't know Black Widow, but the moment he heard the latter half of that sentence, he immediately calmed down.
Language could be strangely persuasive. For example, when he heard the phrase 'don't cause trouble on Earth', his mind instantly recalled his father's teachings.
"Alright."
He glanced at Black Panther T'Challa and said nothing more.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, Captain Rogers strode forward, grabbed Loki with one hand, and walked away.
Rogers' actions represented S.H.I.E.L.D.
So many people had rushed here—everyone had come to capture Loki. But as for who should take custody of him afterward, no one had really thought about it, nor had they received any specific orders.
As for Black Panther and the others, they were simply acting according to what Xu Dan had told them that day—they just wanted to do something for humanity.
Loki being taken into custody by S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't really matter.
As long as this scourge was dealt with!
The crowd gradually dispersed.
What they didn't know was that Loki, now captured, wasn't panicked at all—he was actually a little pleased!
Because in the cunning god's plan, being captured was an inevitable step!
He was no longer the "scourge," but a "god" preparing to toy with Earth.
The real "scourge" had already obtained the materials needed to build the Cosmic Cube activation device and had fled toward the hidden base!
Even without Loki's direct command, they would still carry out everything to the letter!
Then, once the Chitauri army arrived, his plan would be complete!
"Wait—I'm coming with you!"
Just as the Avengers were about to leave, Thor stopped them.
Natasha and Tony exchanged a glance and nodded.
"Then let's go."
This was an order from above—Nick Fury's approval.
Although Tony didn't quite understand why Fury wanted to bring Thor along, bringing him didn't hurt anyway!
Iron Man was confident.
Although he was usually addicted to gaming, he had gained a great deal of inspiration from Xu Dan's games, leading him to develop even more powerful weapons and equipment!
————————
By the time they returned to the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, it was already the next day, and the scepter had been taken into the research lab.
Calling it "robbed" wasn't quite accurate—it had been seized.
Humans had always been intensely curious about alien technology, especially after Nick Fury personally witnessed Loki casually brainwashing Selvig and Hawkeye with the scepter.
That raised another question—
Where had the Cosmic Cube gone?
That question could only be answered by Loki.
Nick Fury led the escort team and locked the shackled Loki inside a containment cell.
Originally, this cell aboard the Helicarrier had been prepared for the Hulk—in case Banner lost control and destroyed the entire ship.
But now Bruce Banner belonged to Xu Dan.
You could try poaching talent elsewhere, but stealing Xu Dan's people? Go ahead—try it.
Thus, this containment cell had been repurposed for supervillains.
So-called supervillains were the opposite of superheroes—criminals with extraordinary powers.
The first requirement of this cell was durability.
On that point, Nick Fury was extremely confident.
Not to mention Loki's relatively frail physique—even if the Hulk went berserk, he might not be able to break out of this cage!
Secondly, the cell was fitted with aggressive suppression systems—it was essentially an electrotherapy chamber.
Nick Fury stared at Loki through the containment glass, his single eye filled with mockery.
"Now," he said, gesturing toward a red button, "you are the ant—and this is the boot."
The relationship between ants and boots was practically a sociology problem.
Recalling Loki's smug words when he seized the Cosmic Cube, Nick Fury now felt a surge of vengeful satisfaction.
The roles had been reversed!
Motherf—
Hearing this, Loki smiled unconcernedly.
He didn't think he was an ant at all—because he was here precisely because he wanted to be here.
Nick Fury found that smile infuriating and nearly shot him on the spot.
Suppressing his anger, he turned to the side and said, "Natasha, interrogate him. Give him a few extra rounds of electrotherapy—you should be able to get something out of him. This type thrives on pain."
"Understood."
Black Widow went off to interrogate Loki, while Tony naturally headed to the lab to analyze the alien tech.
However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out the scepter's true function.
What exactly was this thing for?
He needed help.
And when it came to helpers, only one person came to mind.
Tony immediately pulled out his phone and dialed Xu Dan.
"Hey, man. I've got something here—you're definitely going to be interested."
"What is it?"
"A stick."
Without wasting words, Tony turned on the camera and sent an image of the Mind Scepter to Xu Dan.
The virtual game helmets had already been released. Although the game itself hadn't officially launched yet, players could already begin creating their characters.
At that moment, Xu Dan—who was reviewing player registration numbers in Antarctica Company's backend—froze slightly.
"…The Mind Stone."
"Mind Stone?" Tony stared at the scepter suspiciously. "You're calling this a gem?"
"Idiot."
Xu Dan left only that single word before cutting the connection.
Then he immediately stood up.
"Red Queen, prepare for takeoff. Target—that."
He had heard earlier that something had happened at S.H.I.E.L.D., but he'd been too busy to pay it much attention.
He hadn't expected it to be this.
