Stuttgart, Germany.
Captain America jumped from the quinjet, but besides the mess at the scene, where was Loki?
"Natasha, have you seen Loki?"
Inside the quinjet, Natasha said, "Loki just turned into a blur of light and disappeared!"
"Were we tricked?"
Captain America felt like he was punching with all his might, but there was no target, just hitting the air.
Just then, all electronic products on the street were hijacked again.
The big screen showed a war!
In a military Base, heavily armed troops were fully engaging Loki.
Da da da da da!
Gatling bullets continuously poured onto Loki, but they didn't even ruffle Loki's clothes.
"Is this Earth's weaponry?"
"Are you tickling me?"
Through the screen, everyone could feel Loki's ease.
Gatling, that was a Gatling!
Click! Click!
With the sound of tracks and the roar of engines, everyone quickly saw columns of tanks, all aimed at Loki.
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
Even through the screen, everyone could feel the Commander's immense rage.
Loki's face still held a smile, and a brilliant blue energy beam shot out from the Mind Stone.
Boom boom boom!
A series of explosions occurred in the tank positions, and large amounts of orange-red flames rose up.
All tanks were instantly destroyed!
Watermelon grenades, fuel-air bombs, flamethrowers—various weapons had no effect in front of Loki!
Helicopters were destroyed as soon as they appeared, becoming mere decorations.
In just two or three minutes, a military Base was directly overturned by Loki alone.
The entire Base was filled with smoke, and seriously wounded, even fallen, soldiers could be seen everywhere.
With endless wreckage, sky-high flames, and smoke as a backdrop.
Loki once again raised his staff, saying with extreme arrogance, "Half the time has passed, and there are still twenty-four hours until the final Death deadline."
"For your future King, I am merciful, I will give you a reminder first, to prevent you from harboring unrealistic fantasies!"
"The oceans belong to the Chitauri, and the land and Earthlings belong to me, King Loki!"
"Do not feel indignant, learn to be grateful, were you not born to be this way?"
"This is the truth humanity has not dared to speak, the Declaration of Independence is a falsehood, freedom and equality are lies meticulously woven by humans, when have the rich and commoners ever been equal?"
"They have deprived you of the joy of life!"
"You madly pursue power, pursue status, you yearn to be enslaved, in fact, your bones are full of servitude, and sooner or later you will submit to your rulers!"
Loki's speech ignited the fury of all the people in front of the screens, and many cursed him loudly.
But what good was cursing from behind a screen?
Looking at the mountains of corpses and seas of blood serving as the "background," many people involuntarily swallowed, their eyes flashing with strange light.
For years, under the influence of various entertainment films, Earthlings already had a deep fear of aliens.
Now, Loki's battle had directly reduced the army's combat power to dust.
Compared to the army, the public gained a clearer impression of Loki's combat power.
If Loki alone was so strong, how strong would the Chitauri army behind him be?
How could the human army have any chance of winning against such a powerful Universe army?
Even the best-equipped U.S. Army, the most experienced U.S. Army, was now covered in a layer of psychological Shadow.
Could such an enemy truly be defeated by mere mortals?
Loki succeeded; he successfully planted a seed of failure in the hearts of both the military and the civilians.
Helicarrier.
A group of S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents watched Loki's outrageous remarks at the military Base, their hearts burning with anger, but more than that, they felt powerless.
Asgardians were truly too powerful; Earth's conventional weapons simply couldn't kill him.
The profession of Agent wasn't as glamorous as in movies.
Who knows how many Agents died directly in their first mission.
Even the King of Agents would get injured, would bleed, and a bullet to the heart would cost him his life!
Agent Hill worried, "Director, Loki's arrogance must be suppressed quickly. Voices have already appeared online, advocating for negotiations with Loki and the Chitauri for peace and to reduce casualties!"
The voices on the internet ultimately didn't represent much.
Such brainless ideas about initiating negotiations were certainly a minority at the moment.
But they clearly reflected the public's mentality—they were afraid!
Nick Fury looked at Tony Stark, "Choosing to evacuate New York City citizens in advance, Rimuru must have foreseen the Chitauri's arrival in New York."
"But our civilian evacuation plan had just begun when Loki turned it to his advantage. Stuttgart also severely outmaneuvered us, showing his cunning and treachery."
"Not long ago, S.H.I.E.L.D. received Loki's character analysis from think tank experts. Second, he is flamboyant and loves to be the center of attention."
"Now that most New York City citizens have evacuated, his desired audience is gone. So will he still open the portal in New York?"
Everyone fell into deep thought. If he didn't open the portal in New York, where would he choose?
Tony Stark: "Not necessarily. Since he can hijack the the world network, if he wants to show off, he can do it in any city, and New York is also an option."
Banner's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Exactly, he can hijack the network, so it's the same in any city. Given Loki's flamboyant character, even if he has an audience, he'll choose a good stage. Not just any small rural town, New York, Washington D.C. are highly likely. The stabilizer iridium element for opening the portal is already there, so opening the door only requires energy, sufficient energy—"
"Shit, my Stark Tower!"
Tony was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, instantly bristling and running towards the place where his Mark suits were displayed.
Nick Fury also immediately activated his earpiece, "Natasha, Captain, Loki might be at Stark Tower, fly directly there!"
Natasha: "Yes!"
Nick Fury: "Mei, you pilot the quinjet and take Hulk over!"
Agent Melinda May: "Yes!"
Nick Fury: "I still have some of the bullets enchanted by Rimuru here. Coulson, you lead a sniper team and find an opportunity to hit him hard!"
"Remember, do not use mobile phones or the internet. If you must communicate, use primitive telegraph!"
Coulson immediately took the order and left.
Suddenly, the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. became busy.
