I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 281 Loki Returns

As the energy released from the Cosmic Cube created a shockwave that sent Steve and the others flying.

Inside the laboratory, a large number of expensive and sophisticated instruments suddenly burst into flames.

soon.

The huge laboratory, deprived of its light source, dimmed at a visible speed.

Only the Cosmic Cube, suspended in the center of the ring-shaped machine, was still flashing a dazzling blue light.

Zizizi!

Suddenly, the sound of an electromagnetic pulse rang out in the laboratory.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of blue energy arcs overflowed from the Cosmic Cube, wrapping around it like bolts of energy lightning.

As time went by, a thunderous sound faintly emanated from the Cosmic Cube, and the energy fluctuations emanating from the Cosmic Cube intensified. More and more blue energy arcs spilled out into the air, as if the entire space was shaking.

hum!

The surging spatial energy continued to accumulate. In just one second, the energy fluctuations emitted by the Cosmic Cube increased dozens of times. Then, this accumulating spatial energy seemed to break through some kind of threshold...

next second.

The blue light around the Cosmic Cube surged, instantly illuminating the dim laboratory.

The dazzling blue light lasted only a second or two before a blue laser, as thick as an arm, shot out from one side of the Cosmic Cube, forming a huge blue energy ball at the other end of the laboratory.

Amidst the roar of energy, the blue energy sphere continued to expand, and the space within it seemed to be torn apart, forming a circular spatial gate in mid-air.

At the other end of the enormous portal, it seemed as if a starry sky was connected, revealing bright stars and a dazzling night sky.

······

"Sir, is there anything we need to do?"

Steve, who had gotten up from the ground, held the vibranium shield in his hand and made a throwing motion, as if he wanted to throw the vibranium shield like a dart at the circular portal in mid-air.

Upon seeing Steve's actions, Dr. Selvig, clutching his lower back, quickly spoke up to stop him:

"NO NO NO, don't touch that damned spatial gate! This spatial gate is extremely unstable right now. If your attack is ineffective, that's fine, but if it actually affects the spatial gate and causes it to collapse, then the siphon effect created by the collapse will be like a black hole, instantly dragging us, this base, and even the entire Earth into the abyss..."

"boom!"

Before Dr. Selvig could finish speaking, the blue prototype portal on the other side of the base suddenly transformed into a large patch of blue energy points, scattering in all directions.

The pale blue energy dots seemed to stir up a strong wind in the laboratory, causing the people who had just gotten up from the ground to take a few steps back.

After the blue energy dots dissipated into the air, the Cosmic Cube, which had opened a portal, seemed to have completed its mission and gradually returned to calm.

Even the constantly flashing blue energy arcs on its surface disappeared, restoring it to its original appearance.

······

"call."

After the portal in mid-air completely disappeared, Steve, holding the Shock Shield, exhaled a breath of stale air and said, "It seems that this wasn't the worst outcome."

Just then, Hawkeye Clinton, who was not far away, suddenly said, "Don't be too happy yet. I saw that there seems to be an extra person where the portal disappeared."

Upon hearing Clinton's words, everyone present quickly turned their gaze toward the spot where the spatial portal had vanished.

In the dim corner where the spatial gate had disappeared.

Amidst the vast expanse of white mist, a human-shaped figure could be vaguely seen, crouching on the ground.

【alert】

Nick Fury's one eye made a warning gesture after spotting the figure not far away.

next second.

Because they were wearing bulletproof vests, the two special agents, who were lucky enough to avoid being hit in vital areas by ricocheting bullets, cautiously surrounded the figure that appeared below the spatial portal, holding their submachine guns.

Not far away, Hawkeye also raised his weapons with both hands, aiming at the dim figure crouching on the ground.

·······

Just as the special agents were subtly surrounding the figure...

The figure crouching on the ground slowly straightened up amidst a cloud of white smoke.

As the smoke from the burned machine dissipated, a green figure slowly appeared in their sight.

The special visitor brought by this portal had a human-like appearance. He had long, slightly greasy black wavy hair, wore a strange black and green robe, and held a strange "scepter" with a bright light emanating from its top.

His usually carefree face was now slightly pale, and even his usual cheeky smile looked somewhat gloomy.

Upon seeing the distinctive scepter in the figure's hand from afar, Nick Fury frowned and then shouted, "Sir, please put down that spear."

A spear?

You call this a spear?

Loki, who had gotten up from the ground, glanced at the Mind Staff in his hand and his face darkened.

snort!

Foolish mortals.

With a disdainful expression, Loki unhesitatingly activated his Mind Scepter, firing an energy wave at Nick Fury, who had spoken.

However, before the energy wave could hit Nick Fury, Captain America, wielding the Shock Shield, deflected the attack onto a machine not far away.

boom!

Immediately afterwards, the machine was blasted into pieces by the energy wave emitted by the Mind Scepter.

"This shield is interesting..."

Loki glanced at the vibranium shield in Captain America's hand, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but before he could finish his thought...

The sound of bullets being fired, "rat-a-tat-tat..." drowned out his subsequent words.

Immediately afterwards, bullets from submachine guns rained down on Loki.

Each powerful bullet that struck Loki flashed with a pale golden light before exiting his body, as if it had struck a phantom.

It did not cause Loki the slightest harm.

Puff puff puff...

Loki glanced down at the golden holes that were constantly being shot through his body, a disdainful smile creeping across his face.

"How could a mortal possibly harm a god!"

As he spoke, Loki raised his Mind Scepter at a Secret Service agent who was firing at him.

Do not!

Upon seeing Loki's actions, the special agent who was firing instinctively lunged to the side to avoid him.

Meanwhile, the special agents surrounding Loki were frantically pulling the trigger, trying to stop Loki's attack.

"Buzz!"

The next second, a dark blue energy wave suddenly shot out from another corner of the laboratory, blasting away the other special agent who was trying to stop Loki's attack.

Almost simultaneously with being blasted away.

A large amount of blood gushed from the special agent's seven orifices, and he lost his life in mid-air before even hitting the ground.

Ok?

The special agent who was trying to evade the attack hadn't figured out why the attack aimed at him had come from another corner of the laboratory and blasted his colleague away.

A sharp whistling sound came to his ears.

next second.

Suddenly, the air in front of the agent blurred, and then a dark green figure suddenly appeared in mid-air and pounced on him.

"Pfft..."

He used the tip of the Mind Scepter to pierce the heart of the special agent.

Loki dismissively used magic to blast away the bloodstains on his Mind Staff, then said indifferently, "This is what happens when you try to provoke a god."

"Ding!"

The moment Loki finished speaking, he seemed to sense something and quickly turned his head to the side. But before he could turn his head completely, a spinning bullet grazed Loki's forehead, leaving a bloody mark.

Although the bloodstain healed quickly within moments thanks to the powerful regenerative abilities of Loki's Frost Giant bloodline.

But Loki, who had just finished showing off and was immediately humiliated, still showed an uncontrollable anger on his face.

Looking at Hawkeye Clinton, whose eyes flashed with shock not far away, Loki said coldly, "Very well, mortal, you have angered me."

But before he could finish speaking...

The vibranium shield, spinning rapidly in mid-air and drawing an arc, hurtled towards Loki's body.

"snort!"

With a cold snort, Loki's body was cleaved in two by Captain America's vibranium shield.

"It worked?"

Just as a smile appeared on Coulson's face, who was watching this scene from a short distance away, Steve shook his head and said:

"No, it's just an illusion."

Sure enough, the Loki who was cut in two by the vibranium shield quickly turned into a phantom in a golden light and then disappeared.

Just like the Loki phantom that attracted everyone's attention under that spatial gate before disappearing.

"An illusion? I understand."

Awakened by the captain's words, Coulson immediately tore off the glove on his mechanical arm, revealing the silver-white mechanical arm inside.

"scanning!"

At Coulson's command, his robotic arm suddenly emitted a large burst of dense infrared rays.

As a large area of ​​infrared rays swept across.

Within the vast network of infrared rays, a discordant element suddenly appeared.

Although the infrared beams emitted by Coulson's mechanical arm failed to directly shatter Loki's illusion, the distorted area within the beams still revealed Loki's location.

"very good."

After praising Coulson.

Hawkeye Clinton, Nick Fury, and the others immediately raised their guns and fired at the rapidly approaching figure.

Captain America turned around and swiftly caught the vibranium shield that had been ejected several times in the laboratory. Without hesitation, he charged towards the distorted figure in the infrared light.

······

The magical robe Loki is wearing is made from the most precious magical materials in Asgard.

The bullets fired by Nick Fury and the others couldn't penetrate the defenses of Loki's magical robe. However, even though they didn't pierce the robe, the powerful kinetic energy of the bullets still caused Loki's mouth to twitch slightly from the pain.

"snort!"

Seeing that his most skillful illusion had been broken by the mortals of Midgard, Loki did not hesitate. He immediately activated his Mind Control Scepter and sent an energy wave toward the person who had barely managed to break his illusion with the help of a prop.

"Buzz!"

As the pale blue energy wave flashed through the air and brushed past Captain America, Steve immediately shouted, "Watch out!"

"Don't worry, Captain, I'm not that fragile."

Coulson dared not be careless in front of his idol. As early as when the infrared beam could detect even a trace of Loki, Coulson had already prepared himself to be targeted by that dangerous figure.

so······

Almost the instant the energy wave appeared, Coulson dodged to the side without hesitation, avoiding the incoming shockwave.

"Well done!"

After giving a compliment, Captain America immediately held up his vibranium shield in front of him and charged towards Loki's location.

Although the large area of ​​infrared rays disappeared because of Coulson's dodge, Steve, who was now less than six meters away from where Loki's figure had been, could determine Loki's approximate location even without the aid of infrared rays.

"when!"

as predicted.

Before he could take more than a few steps, Captain America felt a tremendous force coming from the vibranium shield in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, Loki's figure appeared in front of Captain America.

At that moment, Loki was pressing the tip of his Mind Scepter hard against Captain America's vibranium shield.

Loki smiled as he looked at Steve hiding behind the vibranium shield.

"Mortals, attempting to compare your strength with that of the gods is the greatest mistake of your life..."

Although Loki does not possess the bloodline of the Aesir, the power bestowed upon him by the Frost Giants is in no way inferior to that of the gods of Asgard.

Although Loki preferred the elegance of a sorcerer to highlight his own wisdom, in this situation, he wouldn't mind letting this mortal from Midgard understand just how powerful the gods truly are.

Just as Loki was about to increase the power in his hands and crush the mortal in front of him.

Captain America suddenly jerked the vibranium shield in his hand.

After the vibranium shield had traveled a distance from the tip of the Mind Staff, Captain America slammed the vibranium shield down forcefully towards the Mind Staff at an even faster speed.

"Get back there..."
