A crossover movie viewing experience, kicking off Marvel's Endgame.

[Captain Rogers said to Zhuge Cong.]

268: Kiyotaka Ayanokoji: Loki is still arrogant.

"Loki needs an energy source. If we could list Loki's..."

Captain Rogers continued explaining his thoughts to Zhuge Cong, and Zhuge Cong, recalling Captain Rogers' earlier emphasis on unity against external threats, seemed to have an idea and spoke up.

"Loki turned a great feud into a personal one."

[Zhuge Cong suddenly spoke up, saying that Loki's willingness to be captured and brought aboard the aircraft carrier, besides enabling the Hulk to transform, destroy the carrier, and kill as many key figures as possible from S.H.I.E.L.D., now has another purpose: to tear apart the already disunited Avengers, making them hostile and antagonistic towards each other.]

"That's not the point. The point is..."

"No, Captain, that's the key point, that's Loki's objective."

[Hachiman Hikigaya, standing nearby, suddenly realized what Zhuge Cong meant. He recalled the scene from the beginning when they were arguing and about to fight in the lab.]

"Think about it, why would Loki go straight for our base?"

[Zhuge Cong spoke to Captain Rogers.]

"So that we can be easily defeated in one fell swoop?"

"Yes, spreading out and defeating them is indeed a good strategy, but Loki knows we are obstacles to his grand plan, right?"

"We are Loki's Achilles' heel."

[Zhuge Cong said with a serious expression.]

"Loki wants to defeat us, and he wants others to watch him win. He's like a performer, wanting an audience."

"Yes, wasn't he performing right there when we arrested Bambi?"

Hearing Zhuge Cong's words, Hachiman Hikigaya recalled the scene when he and Zhuge Cong first joined forces to fight Loki. Many people were kneeling there, and Loki and Captain Rogers were acting like characters in a stage play.

"No lines, but that was just a rehearsal for Loki. You know, tonight is Loki's debut night."

"Loki is the star of this show; he wants flowers to be presented to him and he wants to flaunt it so everyone knows about him."

Zhuge Cong was also getting a little excited, and at the same time, he was mentally prepared to make Loki's act a complete disaster.

"Yeah, I bet he'll also be thinking about building a towering monument, carving Loki's name on it, and putting a statue of him on top of it."

[Hikigaya Hachiman, standing to the side, continued Zhuge Cong's words.]

"So we're going to make Loki's opening night a tragedy."

Captain Rogers, after hearing what Zhuge Cong and Hachiman Hikigaya had said, finally understood.

"A very good plan, it's even 90% successful, but it's still a little short. Perhaps if Loki hadn't killed the Western agent, no, if he hadn't killed the Western agent, it wouldn't have provoked Zhuge Cong and the others."

"But Loki might not know the relationship between the Western agents and Zhuge Cong and the others."

"If you think about it that way, if Loki doesn't kill the Western agents, the Avengers might have a hard time truly uniting and forming a team, even if they were to be formed."

"But now that the Western agents are dead, anger and hatred will become the bond between the Avengers members. This also gives the Avengers a common enemy with great hatred after they are formed, which is quite in line with the name of the organization, the Avengers."

"If Loki learned about the relationship between Agent Nishikata and Zhuge Cong and the others from Hawkeye Shirou, then it can only be said that Loki simply made a wrong gamble. The fact that he didn't create a rift between the Avengers is also due to Nishikata's proactive attack and provocation of Loki. So even if Loki didn't intend to kill Nishikata, he would still kill him because of this."

As Kiyotaka Ayanokouji watched the conversation between Zhuge Cong and the other two on the light screen, he thought to himself that Loki, the god of mischief, was indeed full of schemes. He could execute several schemes at the same time in one action. Although he did not succeed in implementing them all, he did complete several.

Loki's schemes are indeed brilliant, and his calculations are impressive. However, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji feels that Loki probably has a contemptuous attitude towards others. Ayanokoji feels that if Loki really takes dealing with S.H.I.E.L.D. seriously, his cunning schemes will probably escalate several levels.

After all, Kiyotaka Ayanokouji watched Loki on the screen inside the S.H.I.E.L.D. aircraft carrier without doing much, as if he were just watching a show.

[At this moment, Dr. Nariyuki Yuiga, who was under Loki's control, was busy working in front of a strangely shaped machine. The Tesseract, which S.H.I.E.L.D. so desperately wanted, was placed in the center of that strangely shaped machine. Clearly, this strangely shaped machine was the device that Dr. Yuiga had created to activate the Tesseract and summon the Chitauri army.]

[It would have been impossible for Dr. Nariyuki Yuiga to create this in the past, but with Loki's blessing and the acquisition of considerable knowledge, Dr. Yuiga successfully created it.]

Loki's choice of location was also very deliberate: the rooftop of Zhuge Cong's building, the tallest building in the entire city. This also aligned with Zhuge Cong's statement that Loki wanted to put on a grand performance, a grand performance that everyone could see.

"If Loki had more men, he'd probably stage another 'Now You See Me' heist. Oh, but Loki doesn't seem to have anything to steal... no, I guess we should say the ownership of Earth."

Natsuki Subaru looked at the location Loki had chosen on the light screen and complained, "I thought Loki would be placed in a secluded place like a mountain. But then again, he wouldn't be Loki if he wasn't high-profile."

------------

Do you think the Chitauri army can be successfully summoned to Earth?

L asked Light Yagami, who thought for a moment and then shook his head.

"do not know?"

"This is different from what you said before. You said before that you wouldn't summon the Chitauri army."

L teased Light Yagami.

"I'm not a god, so it's impossible for me to predict what will happen in the future. Besides, whether the Chitauri army is easy to summon to Earth is still a mystery."

Light Yagami believes there's still a 50% chance the Chitauri army can be summoned, since the portal hasn't truly opened yet, so the Avengers can still stop it.

269: Yuu Otosaka: What is Hachiman trying to do?!

"It's time to go."

[Captain Rogers, now fully dressed in his combat suit, approached Black Widow, Vermouth, and spoke.]

"Hmm? Where to?"

[Black Widow Vermouth looked at Captain Rogers and said.]

"We'll talk about it on the way."

"Can you fly a plane?"

Captain Rogers, pressed for time, didn't want to waste a single second.

【"I can."】

[Having washed up, Shirou Emiya, the Hawkeye, emerged from the restroom and said, "Captain Rogers looked at Vermouth, the Black Widow. Vermouth knew what Captain Rogers meant by looking at her—he was asking if Shirou Emiya had recovered. She nodded, and having received Vermouth's confirmation, she spoke to Shirou Emiya."]

"Then go put it on."

After Captain Rogers finished speaking, he turned and left.

Meanwhile, the Avengers began busily preparing to don their gear for Loki's debut performance.

[On the ground, Thor bent down and raised Mjolnir, the hammer of Thor. Instantly, the sky changed dramatically, dark clouds gathered, and bolts of lightning struck Mjolnir. Then, the lightning spread from the hammer to Thor's body, making him look more like the god of thunder than the god of hammers.]

Captain Rogers, along with Hawkeye Shirou, Black Widow Vermouth, and Daredevil Kirito, boarded a plane with an open back door. The pilot greeted them upon arrival.

"You are not allowed to board the plane without permission."

"We have a mission to complete, kid, you'd better save your breath."

Captain Rogers spoke to the pilot.

"Sir, those cards were in Agent Osaka's wardrobe, not inside his coat."

The Twilight Agent found King in the aircraft carrier's control center. King was standing in the center, shuffling through the cards Nishikata had collected.

"They need some motivation."

[King looked out the window and said, clearly having slightly embellished what he had told Captain Rogers and the others earlier; of course, it was a white lie.]

"While I know you did this with good intentions, and your goal is to unite the Avengers, I still feel there's something... about it."

Saitama watched the conversation between Dusk and King on the screen and said that he could understand it. After all, anger could quickly unite the Avengers to fight Loki. However, the fact that he had to take advantage of his subordinates after death made Saitama feel that he was a little "bad".

"......"

King didn't know how to refute it. Everyone knew why King did what he did inside the light screen and the effect of doing so, but the method was somewhat unethical.

Suddenly, King noticed two figures flash past him, followed closely by a fighter jet.

"Someone took off without authorization from tarmac number 6."

At that moment, the announcement came on, clearly indicating that the team that took off from tarmac number 6 was Captain Rogers's group.

"Looks like they've found Loki. Quickly, do everything you can to restore communications."

"I need to monitor the entire situation."

[King watched the departing Avengers and spoke to Dusk and Joel beside him.]

"Yes, sir."

"Here it comes! The ultimate showdown between the Avengers and Loki, the battle between good and evil."

As Ye Ying watched the assembled Avengers, except for the Hulk who was still outside, the grand spectacle of the two sides ignited his inner fanatic, making him wish he could be one of them, not just a spectator.

"Hey, Cong, do you think those mutants might start fighting Loki?"

[Hachiman Hikigaya asked as he followed Zhuge Cong, after all, in Hachiman Hikigaya's view, mutants were a considerable force.]

"I reckon those mutants don't even know Loki exists. If Loki's Chitauri army were to descend upon Earth, I suspect those mutants would step in—no, perhaps only when their territory is on fire. Otherwise, they'll likely remain hidden."

[Zhuge Cong replied to Hikigaya Hachiman's words.]

【"Yeah."】

[Hachiman Hikigaya fell silent after hearing Zhuge Cong's words, seemingly having made a decision in his heart.]
