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

"After all, Zhuge Cong's only guarantee was Hachiman Hikigaya, who had a sniper rifle set up outside, and even that guarantee wasn't very effective."

Kaito Kuroba admired Zhuge Cong's courage and mental fortitude as he watched him confront Loki on the screen. He also imagined what it would be like for him: without any items, with his only guarantee being unstable, and facing someone who could easily kill him based solely on physical strength.

Kaito Kuroba felt that he might be a little nervous facing Loki in this state.

After all, in the past, when he fought with those police officers, they were reasonable and wouldn't have the intention to kill him. But Loki is different. In Loki's eyes, Earthlings are like ants, and he can kill them without hesitation.

"The Avengers."

Zhuge Cong answered Loki's words without hesitation.

Loki looked somewhat puzzled upon hearing this, as the important information Hawkeye Shirou provided hadn't mentioned anything about the Avengers.

"It's the name we gave our team. It's just a team, like the world's most powerful heroes or something."

"Heh, the Avengers, huh? Seen them before, nothing special."

Loki smiled dismissively after hearing Zhuge Cong's words. After all, he had previously turned the so-called Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. upside down with just a few simple tricks on the S.H.I.E.L.D. aircraft carrier.

"Yes, but it always takes time to adjust, doesn't it? I admit it took us a while to adjust, and you just happened to be there during our adjustment period."

"Now that our Avengers' adjustment period is over, let's start counting our achievements."

"Now we have your brother Thor, a living legend who lives up to his reputation as a super soldier."

[As Zhuge Cong spoke, Loki turned around, seemingly finding his words somewhat redundant. After all, even the more capable and special members of S.H.I.E.L.D., like Hawkeye and Shirou Emiya, had already told him. As Loki turned, Zhuge Cong instantly pulled two bracelets from the table, putting them on as he continued speaking.]

"A super soldier who, despite being blind, can still hunt with undiminished skill; a terrifyingly large creature that turns green and grows huge when angry; two top S.H.I.E.L.D. assassins; me, a genius inventor; and a brooding, secretly passionate guy capable of delivering overwhelming firepower."

"No, is it because one of the people's introductions seems a bit out of place?"

"Or did I mishear?"

Zhuge Cong's introductions were generally good and distinctive, but one person's introduction seemed a bit strange.

Nishikata was listening to Zhuge Cong's words without any problems, but he wondered if there was something wrong with his ears and heard a somewhat incongruous statement.

"No, you heard right, that's exactly what Zhuge Cong was talking about."

Kazuma Sato patted Nishikata's arm and gave him a thumbs up.

Hikigaya Hachiman listened to Zhuge Cong's description of a brooding, brooding man capable of providing firepower coverage through the light screen, and felt that there were two meanings to what he was saying.

----------

"A man with a hidden passion who uses his hidden passion to cover his enemies."

On the other side, Yukino Yukinoshita thought the same thing as Hachiman Hikigaya: there were two meanings to it, one of which was that she could be secretly flirtatious to everyone present.

Yukino Yukinoshita also felt that there was some truth to it, after all, Hachiman Hikigaya did give off a certain feeling at the beginning, well, not just a little bit.

"And now, you've really angered them all."

For some reason, Loki felt that Zhuge Cong seemed more confident now. To put it simply, at first, Zhuge Cong reminded Loki of a student who thought they'd forgotten their homework and the teacher happened to be checking it; now, he seemed like a student who had finished their homework and was eagerly awaiting the teacher's inspection, even impatiently waiting for the teacher to remind them to check.

"Was it those handcuffs that gave Zhuge Cong his confidence? Those handcuffs..."

Conan Edogawa looked at Zhuge Cong in the light screen and thought that Zhuge Cong's change started when he put on the bracelet. For Conan Edogawa, who had several wonderful tools, the function of small gadgets was very familiar. He just didn't know what the bracelet was for.

However, Conan Edogawa still couldn't think of any gadget that could affect Loki.

"I think you haven't thought this through. Of course you'll feel relieved once they arrive; they'll be back."

"That means the wrongdoer has a culprit, and the debtor has a creditor."

[Zhuge Cong looked at Loki's contemptuous smile and said.]

"I have a large army."

0

"We have the Hulk."

"You should know the difference in strength between that guy and your army."

[Zhuge Cong immediately said, "Actually, Zhuge Cong didn't know how big the difference in strength was between the Hulk and the army Loki mentioned, but we couldn't afford to lose now, so Zhuge Cong brought out the Hulk, who could fight Thor to a standstill."]

Loki visibly paused for a moment when he heard the name Hulk, but no one noticed. Loki then realized the Hulk's strength—enough to fight his brother to a standstill, and it seemed his brother wasn't holding back.

So his army really will be overthrown by the Hulk.

Zero Nine

"Didn't that wild beast get lost?"

Loki spoke.

272: I will complete a magnificent transformation in mid-air.

"That's not the point. The point is, don't even think about having any emperor dreams. You'll never become a king."

[Zhuge Cong, holding a wine cup, walked step by step towards Loki, then stopped less than ten meters in front of Loki and continued to say things that stung Loki's heart. After all, when Zhuge Cong said that Loki could not become king, Loki's face clearly darkened, and this was the topic Loki disliked the most.]

[Hachiman Hikigaya, who was outside setting up a sniper rifle, watched Zhuge Cong approach, who was not far from Loki. Hachiman almost wanted to rush in. At a distance of less than ten meters, if Loki suddenly attacked Zhuge Cong, Hachiman probably wouldn't even have a chance to use his sniper rifle.]

"Perhaps we cannot resist your Chitauri army, but this debt will be held against you. If we fail to protect Earth, we will definitely seek revenge."

[Zhuge Cong stared at Loki and spoke, then slowly took a sip of his wine.]

Loki walked step by step towards Zhuge Cong, his gaze exerting pressure on this mortal. Then Loki spoke.

"If they're busy beating you, they won't have time to stop me."

"It's over, it's over."

"Is Zhuge Cong, one of the three main fighters of the Avengers, going to be turned by Loki?"

As Black Cat Ruri watched Loki approach Zhuge Cong while muttering incantations, she knew without a doubt that Loki was going to use his Mind Control Scepter to control Zhuge Cong in the same way he controlled Hawkeye Shirou. In Ruri's eyes, the three main forces of the Avengers were Thor, Iron Man Zhuge Cong, and Hulk Senku Ishigami.

Everyone watching the light screen held their breath as Loki raised his Mind Scepter towards Zhuge Cong, and they all muttered to themselves.

Where's Hachiman Hikigaya, the war machine? Where's your sniper rifle? Help me out!

【"bite!"】

Loki slowly raised his Mind Control Scepter towards Zhuge Cong's chest. Loki seemed to see Zhuge Cong under his control fighting the monkeys, but the blade, glowing with a ghostly blue energy, struck Zhuge Cong's chest with a crisp metallic clang, and Zhuge Cong remained unaffected.

[Zhuge Cong anticipated that Loki would tap his chest with the Mind Staff, wanting to teach the guy a lesson. After all, he had a mini Arc Reactor on his chest. So, Zhuge Cong slightly raised his hand, signaling Hachiman Hikigaya not to fire; he wanted to see Loki's bewildered expression.]

As expected, Loki was taken aback when he saw that the Mind Scepter he had placed on Zhuge Cong's chest had no effect whatsoever. He then stubbornly pressed it again, but the result was the same: a crisp metallic click. Zhuge Cong showed no signs of being controlled.

"There have never been any problems before."

Loki looked at the Mind Control Scepter in his hand and said.

"Yes, before the problem occurred, there was nothing in their chest."

Heiji Hattori, the black-skinned chicken, watched as Loki, holding the Mind Scepter, tried to touch Zhuge Cong on the screen, but to no avail. He looked completely bewildered.

Hattori Heiji also felt that Zhuge Cong was, to say the least, quite wicked and daring at times, willing to take such a risk. If Loki didn't have some guts, losing such a powerful fighter in such a decisive battle would be a huge loss.

----------

"He's fearless and incredibly skilled."

Looking at Zhuge Cong's actions on the screen, Oreki Houtarou thought that if Loki made even the slightest mistake, the consequences would be severe. Similarly, Zhuge Cong's actions would also anger Loki. After all, one could roughly guess Loki's personality from the screen; he didn't like encountering uncooperative individuals or unexpected events during his performance.

"Performance issues are quite common; one in five men..."

[Zhuge Cong also made a sarcastic remark to Loki, but before he could finish speaking, Loki grabbed him by the neck and threw him heavily to the ground.]

[“Bang!”]

A large-caliber armor-piercing bullet shattered the glass and hurtled towards Loki. Hachiman Hikigaya, who was on the perimeter, seized the opportunity after seeing Loki throw Zhuge Cong to the ground and fired the same shot. Unfortunately, Loki dodged the bullet by turning his head. Then, having avoided the bullet, Loki smiled at the position where Hachiman Hikigaya was sniping.

"Jarvis, is it ready?"

[Zhuge Cong also took this brief moment to ask Jarvis a question.]

"That's fine, sir."

[Just as Jarvis finished answering, Loki grabbed Zhuge Cong by the neck and lifted him up, then whispered in his ear, his face contorted in a menacing grimace.]

"Your companions' little tricks can't possibly harm me. I am a god, I am Loki."

"You will all fall at my feet."

[Then Loki threw Zhuge Cong through the bullet-pierced glass. The instant Zhuge Cong was thrown, the wall suddenly opened, and a red, oval-shaped object burst out from within, chasing after Zhuge Cong. Loki was startled by this sudden appearance.]

[At this moment, after being thrown out by Loki, Zhuge Cong experienced the thrill of a high-end drop tower ride. Meanwhile, Hachiman Hikigaya, who was setting up a sniper rifle nearby, was rushing over at top speed. At this height, if Zhuge Cong fell, he would instantly turn into Zhuge-chan.]

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

[Hachiman Hikigaya silently chanted in his mind as he rushed towards Zhuge Cong, but he was still a little too slow. The next second, a red oval-shaped object darted past him.]

"What the hell!?"

With the aid of his armor, Hachiman Hikigaya finally saw it clearly: it resembled a storage version of the armor's breastplate.

Then, the storage armor transformed and unfolded, with infrared scanners extending from both arms to scan the bracelet that Zhuge Cong had been secretly wearing. After identification, the storage armor instantly unfolded and pressed against Zhuge Cong's body, quickly enveloping his entire body.

As Zhuge Cong descended, he drew ever closer to the ground, and the crowd on the ground, having noticed him, looked up to see the transformed Zhuge Cong.
