Marvel: Just became a citizen of the motherland, and S.H.I.E.L.D. came knocking on my door.

Several agents quickly took cover.

The energy emitted by the scepter struck the surrounding walls, causing massive damage and sending up plumes of dust.

After Loki's attack, some of the agents present also pulled the trigger and fired at Loki.

The gun muzzle spewed fire, and the bullets that landed on Loki fell to the ground like candy beans.

After all, Loki, as a descendant of the royal family of the Frost Giants, possessed the same god-like physical attributes as Thor.

An ordinary bullet hitting it is like a tickle, causing no harm at all.

At this moment, Hawkeye Barton, who had come to provide support after hearing the sounds of fighting from inside the base, arrived at the scene.

Upon seeing Loki in the middle of the field, he immediately drew his bow, nocked an arrow, and aimed at Loki, intending to shoot.

But then Loki swung his scepter, unleashing an energy shock.

Boom!

The arrow struck the stairwell beneath Hawkeye's feet. In a panic, Hawkeye quickly dodged and rolled to the ground.

At the same time, Loki glanced at the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who were constantly swarming in to provide support.

There's also the Cosmic Cube inside the experimental equipment in front of us.

Knowing that this was not a place to stay for long, he immediately made up his mind.

Seeing Hawkeye Barton, who had just managed to stand up, Loki vanished in a flash.

When it reappeared, it was already right in front of Hawkeye.

Hawkeye was startled to see Loki suddenly appear in front of him, not expecting the other to move so quickly.

A cruel glint flashed in Loki's eyes as he looked at Hawkeye Barton before him and sneered.

"Not bad, you seem to be one of the stronger ones among the ants here, which is perfect for my use!"

"what?!"

Hawkeye Button sensed something was wrong and tried to retreat, but it was too late. Loki used his Mind Staff to strike Hawkeye's chest.

Under the influence of the Mind Scepter, dark energy instantly devoured Hawkeye Button's eyes, turning them completely black, and he stood frozen in place, motionless.

His expression was blank, as if he had lost himself and become a puppet.

Loki took the scepter, looked at Hawkeye Barton, whose expression was now very different from before, and smiled.

"Now, kill them for me!"

So, Hawkeye Barton immediately turned around, expressionless, and drew his bow, aiming at his former teammates.

Pfft—!

Pfft—!

When the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents around the scene saw their former superior become an enemy, they realized just how difficult and dangerous Hawkeye was.

A series of precise and rapid shots quickly suppressed the surrounding S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, preventing them from raising their heads.

They could only hide behind the surrounding buildings, tables, and cabinets, not daring to show their faces.

Loki stared at the Tesseract on the instrument in front of him, and his gaze fell on Dr. Erik beside him.

His expression shifted as he recalled that when he had just arrived here through the space wormhole, it seemed that this old guy was the one operating these experimental instruments.

It should be the relevant technical personnel.

I might need to use this thing again in the future.

So Loki stepped forward, and when he reappeared in a flash, he was already next to Dr. Erik.

And then, following the same method, he touched Dr. Eric's chest with the scepter.

"Do not......"

Under the influence of the Mind Scepter, Dr. Erik quickly lost himself and became Loki's puppet.

They became completely obedient to him.

At this moment, Nick Fury, who noticed that something was wrong, was hiding behind an office cabinet.

They realized that the other party's target seemed to be the Cosmic Cube.

So Nick Fury quietly crept up to the experimental equipment, intending to take the Tesseract away from the scene.

But just as he took the Tesseract off the box and put it away, before he could even leave, Loki's mocking and sarcastic voice rang out behind him.

"I advise you to leave that thing behind."

Loki said.

"Although I don't know who you are, I advise you to stop immediately and stop making a scene!"

Nick Fury said coldly.

What followed was an energy blast fired by Loki with a casual wave of his scepter.

"We have no grudge against you, so why did you attack us?!" Nick Fury shouted after dodging the attack.

When you step on an ant with your boot while walking down the street, do you ask the ant what it thinks?

Loki sneered, then ordered Hawkeye Barton beside him, "Take the Tesseract back!"

So Hawkeye Barton immediately drew his bow and shot an arrow at Nick Fury.

Before Nick Fury could catch his breath after dodging to the side, Hawkeye had already drawn his pistol and shot him in the chest with a bang.

Nick Fury was shot and fell to the ground, dropping the Tesseract case he was holding, which Dr. Eric picked up.

"Let's go!"

Next, Loki, along with Hawkeye Button and Dr. Erik, carrying the Tesseract case, turned and left the laboratory base.

A few seconds after they left, Nick Fury stood up, clutching his chest.

The spot where he was shot in the chest was right next to a SHIELD hawk shield badge that was visible under his shirt.

He shielded himself from a fatal bullet.

"..."

Now, the scene is chaotic and messy, with several S.H.I.E.L.D. agents lying haphazardly.

And then there was the Tesseract, which they had already taken away. Nick Fury knew this was a serious matter.

So he struggled to pull out his phone from his waist pocket and immediately dialed Colson's number.

"Collson, gather all the Avengers members right now... Oh, and that fellow countryman Levy too."

"Everyone, assemble at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Trisking Wing immediately! Something terrible has happened!"

......

Half an hour later, a huge aerospace mothership was hovering above the entire city of New York.

Inside the conference room of the space mothership sat several members with different appearances and different clothes.

The leader was a man dressed as an American soldier, with a white five-pointed star on his chest and wearing a helmet with an "A" shaped insignia.

He was also carrying a red and white metal shield made of sound-absorbing steel.

"So, Director Fury means that someone traveled through a space wormhole and then stole the 'Cosmic Cube' from the experimental base... is that right?"

The man with the shield frowned and asked a black man next to him who was wearing a one-eyed mask.

Chapter 70 The War Is Coming? Nick Fury is furious!

“Yes, Captain. Also, it’s great that you arrived on time!” Nick Fury replied in the meeting room.

Since Captain America Steve Rogers was rescued from the glacier and thawed, he has been recuperating in a sanatorium.

Steve remained noncommittal about his initial invitation to join the Avengers, and did not immediately agree.

He said he still needs some time to adjust, after all, he has been sleeping in the underwater glacier for 70 years.

Having suddenly arrived in the modern world from the era of World War II, I still feel out of place in many places.

However, after he informed him that Loki had stolen the Tesseract and that Earth was about to face a crisis.

Steve gladly accepted the invitation and arrived at the S.H.I.E.L.D. base on time, boarding the Helicarrier to take to the air.

They were worried that Loki might use the Tesseract again to suddenly open a wormhole and launch a surprise attack on them, just like last time.

Therefore, Nick Fury directly used S.H.I.E.L.D.'s secret weapon, the Helicarrier, which was then activated and suspended in the airspace above the entire city.

They used the space carrier as their temporary base, and discussed how to deal with Loki in the carrier's conference room.

"Director, what were the specific details of the scene? What exactly happened?"

On the other side, Colson asked.

I was out on a mission when I suddenly received a call from Nick Fury saying that the Tesseract had been stolen.

Furthermore, Director Fury claimed that Hawkeye Button and Dr. Eric had betrayed them, and that Hawkeye even shot at Nick Fury? That's unbelievable.

“It seems like the other person has a scepter that can control minds,” Nick Fury explained.

To explain the situation at the scene to the surrounding area.

"At that time, he pressed the scepter against people's chests, and it seemed that he could control their minds. After Hawkeye was touched on the chest, he seemed to become a completely different person... very unfamiliar, and then suddenly started to attack us."

"And Dr. Eric was the same way. After that guy named Loki tapped him on the chest, he started to obey him completely."

"In our upcoming operations, we must be wary of that strange scepter in that guy's hand and avoid direct contact with him!"

Nick Fury reminded people of the fishy talk.

"Hey, by the way, where's Tony? Hasn't he arrived yet? And what about the other Chinese people? I haven't seen him anywhere."

Nick Fury looked around but didn't see Tony or his compatriot Levi in ​​the meeting room.

“Uh… well, Director, I’ve already contacted Tony. He said he’s currently busy with a research project and will be there later.”

Colson explained.

"According to the informant, ever since that incident in New Mexico, Tony has been acting like a madman, spending all his time in the lab day and night."

"I rarely go to places like bars or dances anymore. I spend every day in the lab researching and improving my Mark armor."

It was during the time Colson was speaking that...

Suddenly, a red metallic figure was rapidly approaching from outside the space mothership.

Upon quickly reaching the window of the space carrier's conference room, the person opposite was clearly Iron Man, Tony.

Next, the space carrier opened its cabin door, Tony flew in, and then walked along the corridor to the conference room.

Now, seeing the sizzling lights in the conference room, the helmet and mask of the Mark armor revealed his standard handsome face.

He greeted them.

"Hello everyone, I apologize for being a little late; I just finished a research project."

"Now only the people of our motherland are left."

Nick Fury turned to Natasha beside him and asked.

"Agent Natasha, where's that guy Levi? Why hasn't he arrived yet? Didn't we tell him when?"

"I...I tried to contact him before, but I couldn't get through. His phone and communicator were both unreachable; no one answered..."

Natasha said hesitantly.

He couldn't contact his homeland, and when he called Levi's personal assistant at Water Company, he was in trouble.

The other party also stated that their Chinese compatriots were not in the company, and they did not know where their boss had gone.

Of course... whether the other party genuinely didn't know or simply didn't want to say at the time is unknown.

“This guy…” Nick Fury scratched his head, looking somewhat displeased. At such a critical moment, he couldn’t even contact his homeland?!

"Call that guy again, and keep calling until you get through!"

Nick Fury said.

“Yes, Director!” Natasha picked up the communicator next to her and started dialing again.
