I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 290 Clash of Villains

"A total of 51,100 copies?"

With a thought, Erin quickly calculated a number in his mind and frowned slightly.

The number of over 50,000 Miracle Potions was considerable, but it was far from the number Erin had anticipated.

Seemingly sensing Erin's dissatisfaction, Dr. Banner quickly spoke up, "This is already our current production capacity limit. Unless we hire another batch of researchers and expand a few production lines, it will be difficult for us to quickly stockpile enough Miracle Potions after deducting orders from various parties."

"Moreover, while Type I Miracle Potions are relatively easy to obtain, the materials for Type II and Type III Miracle Potions are difficult to collect. Due to limitations in production materials, even if we expand the production line, we cannot immediately mass-produce Type II and Type III Miracle Potions."

Arlin nodded upon hearing this: "I understand. It's too late to expand production capacity now, so let's leave it at that for now. Dr. Banner, please work overtime these next few days and try to develop as many miracle potions as possible, so we don't run out later. Also..."

At this point, Erin looked at Dr. Banner seriously and said, "A great battle is inevitable. Dr. Banner, prepare for the battle."

Dr. Banner paused for a moment upon hearing this, then smiled and said, "I've been preparing for this all along."

at the same time.

After leaving the abandoned factory, Loki, under the guidance of Dr. Selvig, directly used the Mind Scepter to control an astronomical research base.

They moved their temporary base into this astronomical research facility.

Loki didn't waste the researchers in the base either; with a wave of his hand, he recruited them into Dr. Selvig's ranks.

Of course, this is in addition to the original personnel at this base.

This temporary stronghold has also seen the addition of many new faces and some large machines.

Looking at a large piece of equipment that had just been moved into the base, Dr. Selvig, though somewhat pale, was unusually excited and asked Hawkeye Clinton with a smile, "Where did you find these people and this equipment?"

Hawkeye Clinton: "S.H.I.E.L.D. has quite a few enemies. After taking the BOSS on a tour, we quickly convinced these people."

"Oh." Dr. Selvig paused for a moment upon hearing this, then smiled and said, "That's a really good idea."

At that moment, Hawkeye Clinton tapped the tablet he was holding a few times, then held it up and asked Dr. Selvig, "Dr. Selvig, is this what you wanted?"

"That's right, it's iridium, which came with the meteorite and can form protons. It's in high demand right now."

"S.H.I.E.L.D. will soon find out our purpose, and then they'll be even more sought after."

After listening to the conversation between Dr. Selvig and Hawkeye Clinton, Loki said calmly, "In that case, let's find enough iridium before S.H.I.E.L.D. intervenes. Clinton, tell me, where is this stuff?"

Just as Loki finished speaking and Hawkeye Clinton was about to reply, an unfamiliar voice suddenly rang out in the astronomical research base.

"Iridium metal? I happen to have quite a bit in stock if you're interested."

Ok.

Upon hearing this unfamiliar voice...

Hawkeye Clinton quickly pulled a composite bow from a metal box next to him, nocked an arrow, aimed, and fired a specially designed explosive arrow at a figure walking gracefully through the doorway.

Loki, standing to the side, squinted and subconsciously channeled his magic into the Mind Scepter in his hand.

Next.

With a mere thought, the pent-up energy within his Mind Scepter could reduce the figure at the door to ashes.

The uninvited guest who appeared at the entrance of their base was a handsome man holding a black book and wearing a black priest's robe.

Seeing Loki and the others instantly on high alert, and the crowd slowly closing in, the figure showed no panic whatsoever; instead, a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Don't get so worked up. I'm here simply to find out where my suddenly missing men went. I initially thought that guy had kidnapped them, but the truth is more interesting than I imagined."

As he spoke, the figure that slowly appeared in front of Loki and the others pointed to some of the researchers who had been forcibly brought to the base by Loki and the others using the Mind Scepter.

Following the refined man's finger, she glanced at the group of researchers she had lured there.

Loki quickly figured out how the other party had come to him.

The group of researchers that the refined-looking man pointed to were the most qualified group of researchers that Loki had recruited, and the equipment and instruments in their research lab were also the best.

In order to quickly build a space portal using the Cosmic Cube and teleport the Chitauri army over.

Loki readily accepted the equipment in that research lab.

Taking so many people and equipment away at once is no small feat, even though Hawkeye Clinton cleaned up most of the traces afterward.

But thinking about it, some traces have still been left behind.

Otherwise, this guy wouldn't have come knocking on my door at this time.

but.

Since they've gone to such lengths to come to him, Loki wouldn't mind reluctantly taking on another subordinate.

Then, while you're at it, bring over those iridium metals he just mentioned.

Thinking of this, Loki smiled and said to the figure that was almost in front of him, "In fact, what happens next will be even more interesting."

While speaking.

Loki extended his Mind Scepter and swiftly pointed it at the chest of the refined man in the priest's robes in front of him.

Faced with Loki's sudden attack, the refined priest seemed to have anticipated it and raised the black book in his hand.

next second.

When the tip of the Mind Scepter touched the unassuming black book, it emitted a piercing metallic clang.

"Ding!"

The seemingly unremarkable black book not only blocked the attack of the Mind Scepter, but also absorbed all the mental energy surging from the tip of the Mind Scepter.

After absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy, a black cross mark flashed across the cover of the black book.

The moment I saw that black cross mark.

In Loki's eyes, an indescribable, terrifying phantom seemed to suddenly appear.

I only glanced at it.

An unimaginable sense of depravity and madness instantly filled Loki's mind.

At the same time, countless corrupt and evil thoughts were growing wildly in Loki's mind.

Just as Loki was about to put all the crazy ideas in his mind into action.

The Mind Scepter in Loki's hand instantly emitted a dazzling pale blue light.

"Sizzle sizzle..."

Driven by the sudden burst of energy from the Mind Scepter, the black book pressed against by the tip of the Mind Scepter seemed to be severely corroded, emitting a plume of black smoke.

And the spot where the tip of the scepter of the mind was pressed against had been punched open with a hole.

The moment that hole appeared, the indescribable, terrifying phantom that had appeared in Loki's mind shattered with a bang.

Immediately afterwards, a tremendous mental force surged into Loki's mind through his right hand, which was gripping the Mind Scepter.

It surged towards the corrupting aura within Loki's mind.

Upon seeing the black book damaged by the power of the Mind Scepter, the refined priest frowned slightly.

Seeing Loki, who was standing opposite him, quickly regain his senses under the power of the Mind Scepter, the priest had no choice but to put away the black book and quickly take a few steps back.

At the same time, the maddening, corrupting aura in Loki's mind was swiftly expelled by the power unleashed by the Mind Scepter.

"This is······"

After Loki regained consciousness, he subconsciously cast a wary glance at the black book in the priest's hand.

If it weren't for the power of the Mind Scepter suddenly erupting to protect its master, he might have actually fallen for the tricks of that black book.

While casting a wary glance at the black book, Loki's gaze toward the young priest also became more serious.

Damn it!

What was that terrifying phantom I just saw?

Who is this guy?

Why does that black book in his hand possess such strange power?

Damn it!

Midgard is supposed to be the weakest of the Nine Realms, so why have I encountered so many dangerous people since I came here?

Thinking of this, Loki's expression darkened considerably.

···························

"It's broken! This is troublesome. I don't know how many suitable fallen people we'll need to find to repair this hole."

Then, with a hint of regret, the young priest stroked the tear in the black book, glanced at the Mind Scepter in Loki's hand, and said with a touch of emotion, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the legendary Mind Scepter. It's truly powerful!"

Upon hearing this, Loki glanced at the black book in the young priest's hand and the silver pendant wrapped around his other hand, which made Loki feel even more dangerous. Then he narrowed his eyes and said, "Yours isn't bad either. To be honest, before coming to Midgard, I never thought that this land full of mortals would hide so many dangerous guys."

"Is it strange? After all, Midgard has been the center of the Nine Realms and a strategically vital place since ancient times. Countless powerful figures and secrets are buried on this ancient land. Moreover, isn't it normal for some powerful individuals to emerge among the billions of Midgardians? Loki, the evil god of Asgard."

Upon hearing the young priest recognize him, Loki's narrowed eyes revealed an even more dangerous glint in them.

"You seem to know me?"

"Throughout those long years, the gods of Asgard have descended upon Earth more than once, and legends about you have been passed down in Norse mythology. Some books even contain detailed descriptions of your appearance. So is it strange that I recognize you?"

After saying that, the young priest continued, "Moreover, our information isn't as limited as you think. After you stole the Tesseract, your name has already reached the ears of many people in the upper echelons of this world. At first, I didn't connect you with Loki, the evil god of Asgard, but after seeing the Tesseract inside, how could I not recognize you?"

"By the way, I heard that some people are already trying to contact Thor, the God of Thunder in Asgard, in order to deal with you."

Thor.

Upon hearing this name, Loki's face immediately darkened.

The young priest, who had keenly sensed Loki's change in consciousness, continued, "As I said before, there's no need for us to be so tense. I've heard a lot about you and I'm very interested in you. If possible, let's be friends."

"By the way, I'm always very generous to my friends. For example, I can give you that iridium metal you need as a gift, as a friend."

Want to be my friend?

You're just a mortal.

Although the refined priest's extraordinary demeanor made Loki no longer treat him as an ordinary person, Loki never intended to treat him as a friend.

Because of Loki, he has no friends.

Thinking about this...

Loki said with a playful expression:

"Friends? Ha! I didn't come to Midgard to make friends; I came to conquer."

"Of course, if you can provide me with enough iridium, then I wouldn't mind granting you a large territory after conquering Midgard, making you the lord of Midgard."

Although Loki was arrogant, the teachings he received from childhood also taught him that when his own power was insufficient, he should try to win over any power he could.

Lord of Midgard?

interesting.

Upon hearing this, the refined priest slightly raised his head and glanced at Hawkeye Clinton behind Loki, as well as the crowd that was slowly gathering around them.

"While I'm quite interested in becoming a lord or something, frankly, do you think these people could conquer the earth?"

"Of course it's not just them. My army will arrive soon, and then no one will be able to stop me."

Army.

Upon hearing this, the refined priest couldn't help but look at the Tesseract that Dr. Selvig had been shielding behind him.

I recall the descriptions of the Cosmic Cube that I had once seen.

He seemed to understand something.

That's interesting, I see.

No wonder the first thing this guy did upon arriving on Earth was to steal the Tesseract.

If what he says is true, that he has a large army.

He could easily use the power of the Cosmic Cube to create a spatial portal and then teleport his army to Earth.
