Chapter 125 The Manifestation of Contradictions

Upon hearing this, Loki's expression turned somewhat resentful, and he subconsciously glanced at Harry beside him.

His swollen cheeks made his originally charming and handsome face look both comical and pitiful.

"Your brother killed dozens of innocent people in Germany, and Mr. Harry intervened to stop him."

Seeing this, Black Widow Natasha calmly explained.

Upon hearing this, the others looked at Loki with a colder gaze.

“Alright, I will take Loki back to Asgard, where he will be judged by the Nine Realms.”

Thor scratched his head awkwardly, a look of disappointment flashing across his face at his brother's behavior.

He was still prepared to step forward and take Loki away first.

"no!"

Captain America Steve Rogers and Natasha's expressions changed, and they stepped forward simultaneously to block Thor's path.

"The Cosmic Cube is still in his possession; we must find it."

Steve said in a deep voice, his tone resolute.

Upon seeing this, Thor's expression also turned somewhat grim, and faint electric sparks flickered around his body.

"You mortals cannot safeguard the Cosmic Cube; it does not belong to Midgard."

With a civil war on the verge of breaking out, Harry spoke up.

"Calm down, Thor."

His voice wasn't loud, but it instantly eased the tense atmosphere.

"Our primary goal is to retrieve the Tesseract, and Loki is the only clue."

Harry stepped forward and patted Thor on the shoulder.

“Come help us. After this is done, Loki is yours to do as you please. Let’s go to the S.H.I.E.L.D. mothership together and discuss this further.”

Upon hearing this, Thor's tense expression gradually relaxed.

He glanced at his old friend Harry, then at his disheveled brother, and finally nodded.

"Okay... Do you have alcohol where you are?"

And so, the group, with the silent Loki, returned to the Helicarrier.

As soon as I got off the plane, I saw a man in a casual suit and sunglasses waiting for me.

Tony Stark.

"Hey, is this Bambi, the little deer who's always causing trouble?"

Tony took off his sunglasses and looked Loki up and down with great interest, his tone full of undisguised sarcasm.

"I thought that so-called gods would at least have three heads and six arms. They don't look like much at all, and they even got beaten up like pigs."

Hearing these sarcastic words, Loki gave Tony a haughty glare but didn't say anything in rebuttal.

In the brief moment he brushed past Tony, his fingertip silently traced a barely perceptible rune.

A faint wisp of magical energy, like an invisible beacon, silently adhered to the giant ship.

His plan was not just about getting caught.

Find S.H.I.E.L.D.'s headquarters, and then... wipe them all out!
"Hey, Tony."

Harry stepped forward and bumped fists with Tony.

“Mr. Stark! I’m Peter Parker! Your biggest fan!”

Peter Parker excitedly approached and enthusiastically introduced himself, acting like a complete fanboy.

Natasha ignored the pleasantries and, with a blank expression, escorted Loki towards the specially designed cell deep within the mothership.

"It's nice to meet you, child. But now, the adults have important matters to discuss."

After seeing Black Widow leave, Tony said to Peter.

The smile on his face vanished instantly after he finished speaking, and he turned to look at Harry, his eyes sharpening.

"I really didn't expect you to respond to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s call so quickly. I thought we were the same kind of people."

Seeing Tony Stark's reaction, Steve and Peter exchanged bewildered glances.

"Are you saying that S.H.I.E.L.D. created this mess themselves?"

Harry shrugged and asked in return.

"That's right!"

Tony nodded emphatically.

Because of their collaboration a few years ago, he and Harry had a pretty good relationship. In his mind, this friend was a genius like himself, a truly intelligent person, who should have seen through Nick Fury's tricks long ago.

He simply couldn't understand why Harry would respond so enthusiastically to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s call.

As he spoke, Tony pulled up the information he had already obtained by hacking into the S.H.I.E.L.D. database and handed the tablet computer to Steve Rogers, who looked completely bewildered.

Rogers took it with a puzzled look, and after only a couple of glances, his expression suddenly changed drastically.

The tablet displays blueprints for various weapons developed based on the energy of the Cosmic Cube.

"You mean... Fury is using the Tesseract to create weapons of mass destruction?"

Rogers' voice was trembling. He initially thought that Loki had simply attacked S.H.I.E.L.D. and stolen the energy source.

He couldn't accept that the organization Peggy founded was secretly engaging in such shady dealings.

"Separate management, that's an old trick used by secret agents. You're so old, how come you don't know that?"

Tony gave him a disdainful look.

"To prevent leaks, the people carrying out the mission will never know the full picture. That's why I don't trust Nick Fury."

"This incident is 90% S.H.I.E.L.D.'s own fault. Everything we're doing now is just cleaning up their mess!"

So he didn't want to come at all at first.

He only came to see what was going on after hearing that Harry had arrived.

"..."

Rogers' lips moved, but he couldn't say anything.

He ignored Tony's taunts, silently returned the tablet, then turned and strode out of the room.

He needs an explanation.

He's going to confront Nick Fury face-to-face!
"This incident is more serious than you think."

Harry watched Steve's departing figure, shook his head, and turned to Tony.

"Rather than being passively attacked, I prefer to take the initiative."

"What a coincidence, so am I."

Upon hearing this, Tony's lips curled into that familiar smile once again.

After reaching an agreement, the two followed to the deck where the command room was located.

Before I even entered the door, I could hear a heated argument coming from inside.

"You lied to me!"

Steve Rogers glared at Nick Fury, his voice filled with suppressed rage.

"It is precisely because of your Earthlings' clumsy research on the Cosmic Cube that we have attracted the attention of those beyond the universe!"

Thor, standing nearby, was also fanning the flames, crossing his arms and looking down at him.

"If it weren't for us Asgards standing in front of you, Midgard would have been wiped out long ago!"

"I research weapons because of you!"

Nick Fury also became a hot topic, as he glared with his one eye wide open and retorted without any politeness.

"Because of you extraterrestrials! You destroyed a small town based on your own likes and dislikes!"
Current weapons are simply insufficient to protect humanity!

"Forehead……"

Hearing this, Thor felt somewhat embarrassed, as it was indeed he who had done it.

"This is no excuse for you to hide the truth!"

Rogers countered directly that researching weapons was fine, but such things shouldn't be hidden.

Upon hearing this, Tony couldn't help but chuckle.

When he was a child, his father, Howard Stark, greatly admired this American soldier, and he heard all sorts of heroic stories about him until he was sick of them.

Now that he's seen it with his own eyes, all he feels is...

He's just a ridiculously naive fool living in the past.

"Gentlemen."

Harry's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly drowned out all the arguing.

He slowly walked into the room and looked around at the tense crowd.

"Our top priority right now isn't playing Truth or Dare here..."
