Just when the SHIELD people started facial recognition again to try to find Loki and his group again, Loki, who was "already" dead, suddenly appeared in the place where Barton and others were hiding, holding the Mind Gem Scepter.
"How's the construction of the portal going?"
"You're still alive? Oh, I mean, Agent Barton saw through the surveillance camera nearby that you were killed by a 'mortal'. A knife stabbed through the heart, quickly and fiercely. The video didn't show clearly how that guy suddenly appeared next to you. It was like teleportation?" Dr. Eric Shavig put down what he was holding and said in surprise.
At this time, Patton also came down from a high place, swung his hand hard, and aimed the specially made compound bow at Loki.
"Agent Barton, I admire your vigilance, but the one who was killed was just a clone of me. Now, immediately, put down your weapon!"
Boom!
Loki raised the scepter and dropped it gently, but the invisible spiritual energy still made Barton and others suffer.
"Doctor Shavig, do you want to taste this pain too?"
"Of course not, my Lord."
Eric Schalvig immediately performed an awkward formality.
The bewitching magic that Loki cast with the Mind Gem Scepter was not to transform the puppet, but to lock up the consciousness of the original body and reshape another consciousness, or personality. This new consciousness or personality would have everything of the original body, including knowledge, memory, ability... Of course, some new false instructions would also be added to make it obey.
This is a very clever method, but Loki has only had the scepter for too short a time, and its true abilities have not yet been fully explored.
"Great, now tell me how it went?"
"With the iridium raw materials brought back by Agent Barton, we have completed the preliminary preparations. The equipment for the portal will be ready soon. The remaining issue is energy. To open a wormhole that can allow your entire army to pass through requires a large and stable supply of energy."
"Doc, I assume you've already chosen your target, right?"
"Of course, but before we fully open the portal, we need to divert attention to prevent anyone from causing damage."
When this matter was mentioned, Loki couldn't help but feel a little annoyed!
The madman who came out of nowhere completely disrupted his plan. He originally wanted to go deep into the enemy's interior and destroy the opponent's base in one fell swoop, but there was a madman who looked like he would not stop until he killed him.
With no other options, he had to use the remaining clone and his overly 'naive' brother to create internal strife in order to eliminate the opponent's power.
But in the end he still failed to achieve his intended goal. Thor was unable to kill those people to "avenge" him. What a pity!
But despite this, the seeds of distrust have already been planted. The next step is to find ways to fertilize and water them so that the seeds can take root, sprout, and eventually break through the soil!
So Loki, who was thinking of some conspiracy, immediately turned around and looked at Patton who was standing obediently beside him.
"Now they think I'm dead, so it's not appropriate for me to show up again. How about leaving the follow-up plan to you, Agent Patton? After all, you're the one who knows the enemy best among us."
Patton nodded immediately, his dark and strange eyes filled with cold murderous intent!
. . . . . . . . . .
"Dr. Banner, how's the progress?" Nick Fury walked in and asked.
"The search model has been completed and is scanning for search signals. Once we have results we can narrow the range to within 800 meters." Dr. Banner said after looking at the 40% progress on the computer.
At this time, Dio suddenly said, "Tony, are you sure the other party is not in Stark Building?"
Tony, who was working nearby, said helplessly, "This is the third time you've asked me this. I've already directed satellite surveillance there. If the Cosmic Cube appears there, I'll find it immediately."
Could it be that this incident happened again because of him
Dio remembered clearly that the portal finally opened on the roof of Stark Building, but now it seems that this is not necessarily the case.
Because the energy device to activate the Cosmic Cube does not necessarily have to use the Ark Reactor, Tony has already said this before. As long as there is enough energy to heat the Cosmic Cube to 120 million degrees, they can achieve their goal of activating the device.
Otherwise, everyone would have been waiting in Stark Tower to catch the turtle in the jar.
But if it's not Stark Tower, where else could it be
Dio had previously tried to use the power of [Hermit Purple] to find Loki, but was blocked by a more powerful force. If his guess was correct, it should be the power of the Mind Stone.
It’s not that the old guy’s stand-in is useless, it’s just that the abilities of the Infinity Stones are too buggy.
At this moment, Tony, who had been trying to crack SHIELD's confidential files, suddenly asked, "Wait a minute, what is 'Phase 2'?"
"A weapon... ? I guess." Dio answered subconsciously, and then shrugged.
Then Captain America came in with something in his hand. "To be precise, 'Phase 2' is SHIELD's plan to use the Cosmic Cube to create weapons. Sorry, the computer is too slow for me."
Nick Fury was about to explain something when he saw Tony turn the panel around.
"Maybe you should look at this explanation."
Above is S.H.I.E.L.D.'s complete plan to use the Cosmic Cube to create weapons of mass destruction.
"I want to know why." Dr. Banner also stood up.
"because of him!"
Nick Fury pointed at Thor angrily and helplessly.
"A few months ago, an alien came to Earth, sparked a fierce battle, and razed a small town. Not only did we know that there are other life forms in the universe, but we also found that we are just scum with a combat power of only 5 compared to them..."
"Excuse me, the description of a weakling in combat does not include me." Dio stood up and said.
"But you can't do anything with that giant 'tin can' either!"
"No, I conquered it in the end."
"Wait a minute, are you talking about the Destroyer? I remember I was the one who defeated it in the end." Thor interrupted.
"Apparently your information is too outdated. Just when you left Earth and returned to Asgard, the 'tin can' was resurrected again, and this time it was me who caused it to completely freeze."
"That's a shame. I should have been more ruthless."
"Hey, hey, hey! I remember that this wasn't the issue we were discussing just now, right?"
An internal conflict was unexpectedly led astray by someone without anyone noticing, and at the same time a new crisis began to emerge.
