This guy's brain must be messed up!
Loki had no idea what this dude was thinking!
He was just talking about forming an alliance with Death Goddess Hela, then suddenly turned around and snatched the Mind Staff from his hands. Is this something a sane person would do?
"Hydra, Hela..."
Loki glared at the disappearing figure, gritting his teeth in hatred, the viciousness on this Evil God's face no longer restrained: "Idiot, that staff isn't even mine. The guy's stuff isn't that easy to steal..."
That was something Thanos gave to him!
And the Chitauri leader had specifically mentioned the importance of this staff when handing the Mind Staff to him. Losing it would incur the wrath of Thanos!
Just wait and see!
The so-called Death Goddess Hela and her army of Hydra!
If they want to take Thanos's Mind Staff, they'll have to bear Thanos's wrath!
Although it seemed Hela and her Hydra didn't care about Thanos's power, Loki didn't think they had the strength to challenge the overlord standing at the pinnacle of the universe!
The entire banquet hall fell into chaos when Loki was attacked. Naturally, some panicked and fled, while others tried to help send Loki to the hospital...
"Get lost!"
Loki furiously cursed the crowd away!
Now that the Mind Staff was suddenly snatched by Hydra, his plan was forcibly aborted before it even started; he couldn't continue exposing his presence here...
Loki originally planned to use the Mind Staff to incite chaos within the Avengers Squad, but now he must change his plan. He has to prioritize using the Tesseract to bring the Chitauri into this world and inform their leader about the Mind Staff being stolen...
As long as the Chitauri occupy Earth...
There will naturally be ways to recover the Mind Staff!
"Loki!"
Misfortunes never come singly; just as Loki was lost in thought, a group of oddly-dressed people suddenly entered the hall!
The S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Avengers Squad!
Since discovering Loki's whereabouts, the entire Avengers Squad immediately took off in a Quinjet, reaching here in less than half an hour.
"Loki!"
Steve Rogers quickly dashed up the steps!
Tony Stark, piloting his Iron Man suit, instantly flew to Loki's side, a line of missiles aiming at Loki from his arm!
"What's up with this guy being injured?"
Tony Stark glanced at the wound on Loki's shoulder and turned to his comrades: "Hey, need me to call an ambulance for him?"
"No, just take him."
Natasha shook her head, took out her handcuffs, and cuffed them to Loki's wrist, continuing quietly: "There's an alien army in outer space; we don't have time to waste. We need to quickly get from him the whereabouts of the Tesseract..."
"Right."
Uehara Naraku looked at Loki, empty-handed and wounded on the shoulder, his expression serious as he nodded: "We can't waste any more time; Director Fury is still waiting for our report. Quickly take him back for questioning!"
Uehara Naraku looked down at Loki's complexion. The Asgard prince's face looked particularly unpleasant after being captured, and he seemed quite unhappy...
That makes sense.
Anybody would feel bad if they were suddenly robbed of a divine artifact while being in a good mood...
"By the way..."
Bruce Banner stroked his chin, looking at Loki in surprise: "Don't you find it strange? Why is he suddenly injured? It feels like he got hurt on purpose waiting for us to capture him..."
"I have footage here..."
Tony Stark checked the footage on the Iron Man suit screen and suddenly spoke strangely: "There was a man who injured him and took the staff from his hands...wait...the man's clothes, with the Hydra symbol on the shoulder!"
"..."
Everyone's face instantly showed a hint of astonishment.
How could Hydra's people appear and snatch Loki's staff? Well, it's not surprising that Hydra would take Loki's staff; that group wants to steal everything!
Whether they want to use the staff to control others, or for some other purpose, it's a significant problem!
Damn it...
They're here working for the peace of Earth, and those Hydra bastards appear out of nowhere to cause trouble again!
Those bastards...
Sooner or later, they'll be cleaned up completely!
"Let's head back first!"
Natasha pressed the earpiece in her hand, speaking softly: "I'll report to our superior, and immediately let other agents take over locking this place down and recover Loki's staff!"
Currently, it seems there aren't any better solutions.
What they need to do is quickly locate the Tesseract within twenty-four hours to solve the issue of the Chitauri arrival and the Akatsuki army's battle on Earth!
However...
Now that they captured Loki, the Chitauri probably won't be able to come down anymore, right?
On the Quinjet.
Steve Rogers and Tony Stark kept asking Loki questions, but couldn't get the whereabouts of the Tesseract, and were even mocked by Loki a few times.
"Stop wasting your time..."
"I don't even know where the Tesseract is now..."
Indeed.
Loki also doesn't know where the Tesseract is.
But Loki anticipated his capture and ordered Clint Barton in advance, instructing him to think of a way to acquire the iridium element and then rescue his master from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s prison...
The only problem is...
Without the Mind Staff to incite Bruce Banner into becoming the Hulk, there would be no riot on the aircraft carrier. Would Clint Barton have the chance to rescue him...
Considering this, Loki's face took on a few more shades of viciousness, and his hatred for Death Goddess Hela and Hydra deepened...
If it weren't for those bastards...
His plan would have been flawless!
As for the whereabouts of the Tesseract...
That divine artifact should now be near New York, ready to construct a stable space portal tomorrow to welcome the Chitauri...
Everyone on the Quinjet appeared to be in a bad mood, each with their concerns. Whether it was the captured Loki or the Avengers Squad, their faces looked a bit gloomy...
Rumble, rumble...
Thunder rumbled through the sky.
Hearing the thunder outside, Loki couldn't help but shiver and cautiously shrank back.
"Are you afraid of thunder?"
Tony Stark asked, curious.
Loki slowly shook his head, a strange smile appearing on his face: "No, I just don't like the person who comes with the thunder..."
Bang!
A loud noise sounded above the Quinjet; it might have been something heavy landing on it. Tony Stark furrowed his brow and immediately opened the hatch, planning to go outside and see what was happening...
A robust man with flowing blond hair, holding an iron hammer, appeared first at the hatch, coldly scanning the people present before grabbing Loki and jumping off the Quinjet!
Thor!
His father, God King Odin, used a significant amount of dark energy to send him from Asgard to Earth, naturally for his brother Loki and the Tesseract; only the Tesseract could restore Asgard's Rainbow Bridge.
With the Tesseract, Thor could return to Asgard!
"Stop him!"
Steve Rogers failed to stop in time!
Tony Stark immediately flew out in his Iron Man suit, and Bruce Banner leaped down, transforming into the Hulk and landing on the ground. To seize Loki, they instantly engaged in battle with Thor!
Thunder roared in the sky!
Neither Tony Stark nor the Hulk were problems Thor could easily solve, and he wasn't even slightly their match!
Natasha piloted the Quinjet, slowly descending in altitude, frowning as she said: "Captain Rogers, Thor is not our enemy..."
"I'll go stop them!"
Steve Rogers glanced at the altitude, gripping his shield, and leaped down towards the battlefield of the three!
Uehara Naraku stood by the hatch, overlooking the battle below, a glint of light in his eyes: "I really envy those guys' superpowers..."
Currently, he was just an ordinary human.
Naturally, he couldn't participate in such battles.
But when the battle of New York is over, he wouldn't be an ordinary human anymore. He would seize this opportunity to reasonably become a superpower user...
A superpower user powerful enough to crush everything!
