Kamen Rider ZZZ, the American comic book spiritual mentor

"The show has only just begun. Knight, I've lost this time, but don't let me down next."

His figure vanished with the wind, turning into starlight and disappearing without a trace.

Thor swung his hammer weakly: "Damn it, he tricked me again!"

Lin Nan suddenly raised his head, his huge red compound eyes flashing red light: "We're all here. Is anyone at Stark Tower?"

Tony quickly realized: "There is security, but it's practically useless to him!"

"Damn it! I've been tricked!"

Iron Man turned in mid-air and flew towards Stark Tower.

Thor frowned as well: "Loki, what exactly are you thinking?"

He then followed Tony away, leaving Captain America, who couldn't fly, and Lin Nan behind.

Lin Nan didn't rush to chase after them. In the current Avengers, Hulk, an important combatant, was paralyzed, Black Widow was controlled, and Hawkeye had also lost his fighting ability.

Captain Steve has just awakened, and his combat skills and tactics are out of step with this era.

Thor hadn't invested much in magic and illusion, so he couldn't see through Loki's illusions and was simply led by the nose.

Tony doesn't understand magic at all, and technological means are completely useless to Loki.

Following Loki wherever he goes is not a solution; it will only lead to exhaustion and a passive situation.

At that moment, Captain America asked, "Knight, can I hitch a ride? I can't fly."

Well, there's also a centenarian who can't fly.

Lin Nan sighed: "Captain, come up."

Left with no other choice, they carried the captain on their backs and flew towards Stark Tower.

Chapter 97 is finally here.

Iron Man and Thor landed one after the other on the platform of Stark Tower with a thud.

But they discovered that the person standing on the platform, holding a scepter and quietly waiting for them, was not Loki, but Natasha Romanov, who was being controlled.

She wore a tight-fitting outfit, her exquisitely proportioned waist and hips fully exposed in the moonlight. Her gray eyes swept over the two of them, her face expressionless.

In the center of the massive reactor behind them, the Cosmic Cube floats in mid-air, its powerful energy already being injected.

Lin Nan and Captain America landed shortly after.

Captain America jumped off his back, shield in hand, ready for battle: "Hand over the Tesseract!"

Black Widow parted her red lips slightly, and a deep male voice rang out—it was Loki's voice: "You're all here. It seems you're really united, which I'm very pleased about. But are you going to attack this alternate body?"

Tony scoffed, "Loki, we saw through your tricks long ago. I have a hundred ways to snatch the Tesseract without harming this lady."

Natasha nodded: "Indeed, I believe in your abilities. Tin Can, let's check the time, it should be about time."

"What do you mean, 'about the same'?" Captain America asked.

Lin Nan didn't want to waste time talking to him; the longer it dragged on, the more detrimental it would be to the operation.

With a push of his right leg, he used the immense speed of his flight form to instantly close the distance to Black Widow, and with the power of harmony, he touched her forehead with a finger.

"Wake up, Natasha!"

At the same time, Iron Man also quickly approached and rushed to the vicinity of the Tesseract.

However, Black Widow did not resist. Instead, she closed her eyes, collapsed to the ground, and the scepter in her hand turned into green smoke and dissipated.

The Tesseract in front of Tony turned into a pile of dust and fell to the ground.

“Damn it! It’s all fake!” he cursed.

Lin Nan caught Black Widow and put her on the ground: "At least this lady is real."

Lin Nan knew perfectly well that the Tesseract was fake, but he didn't care, because given Loki's personality, he would definitely go there.

"What was Loki's purpose in doing all this? He didn't gain anything!" Tony asked, puzzled.

Lin Nan turned her gaze to the distance and said softly, "No, it's not that there isn't one; I'm afraid he has already achieved his goal."

Before the words were finished, a high-energy fluctuation came from afar, and a blue beam of light shattered the darkness and shot straight into the sky.

"That's...the direction of the New Osborn Building!" Tony exclaimed, then, as if remembering something, he suddenly looked at Lin Nan: "You..."

Lin Nan nodded, his armor dissipated, and he pulled a communicator from his pocket, sending a mass message: "Operation initiation!"

.........

An hour earlier, Rocky's dark green figure appeared in the shadows of the new Osborne Building.

From the beginning, his goal was not the Arc Reactor in Stark Tower, but the artificial sun project here.

Moreover, this building perfectly suits his aesthetic sense and his desire to make a grand entrance; his illusions will stir up those self-righteous heroes on the other side.

Even if the attempt to sow discord fails, there's still that female agent attracting attention at Stark Tower.

His figure flashed, and a few seconds later he appeared at the door of the laboratory on the top floor of the New Osborne Building.

Through the thick bulletproof glass, one can see that the interior is circular, containing the fusion confinement device at its core.

It is still relatively unknown, unlike the world-famous giant reactor in Stark Tower.

However, Loki learned through Black Widow's powerful intelligence-gathering abilities that the fusion device's energy was enough to activate the Tesseract and open a massive portal.

He gripped the Tesseract tightly, and his figure appeared in the laboratory.

The fusion confinement device in the center of the laboratory, with its intricate magnetic field coils and special coating reflecting a silvery-white light, kept Dr. Otto busy at his workbench from noticing that someone had quietly entered.

“Truly a fine creation of mortals,” he said softly.

Upon hearing the voice, Dr. Otto turned around abruptly, but before he could see who it was, a sharp pain shot through his chest.

Loki gently tapped his mind scepter on his chest: "Very well, I now need your wisdom. Serve me."

Dr. Otto's eyes gradually turned gray, and the four mechanical tentacles on his back fell silent and remained motionless.

"Go, mortals, serve me, and welcome your true king." Loki waved his hand.

Unexpectedly, Dr. Otto's mechanical tentacles suddenly moved, moving at incredible speed, and slammed into his body.

Caught off guard, Loki was sent flying backward, crashing heavily against the wall. A look of astonishment flashed across his face: "What happened? Weren't you already under my control?"

Suddenly, a young woman's voice came from the shadows in the laboratory: "You've finally arrived. We've been waiting for you for a long time."

Loki slowly stood up and saw two figures emerge from the shadows.

One of them was none other than the Scarlet Witch, Wanda Maximoff, with her dark brown hair cascading over her shoulders. Her right hand was slightly raised, and wisps of dark red energy swirled around her fingertips, like a living little snake wriggling at her fingertips.

The other is Quicksilver, Peter Romaksimov, with short silver hair. He is not wearing a bodysuit, but rather a silver steel armor without any weapons or equipment, which is only used for defense.

He leaned against a steel pillar, arms crossed, half his face hidden in shadow, watching the "god" before him with great interest.

He had been hiding under his sister's energy, suppressing all fluctuations, and had long been impatient.

“Since you’ve asked so sincerely, I’ll mercifully tell you that you’re controlling Dr. Otto’s people, not the AI ​​under his control,” Quicksilver said.

Loki's gaze slowly moved between the three, the surprise on his face disappearing: "Interesting. You all knew I was coming. This is a trap set for me."

"But do you even realize that you are facing a god!"

Before he finished speaking, he raised his scepter high, and the gem at the top suddenly lit up. A pure spiritual energy surged toward the three of them like a tsunami.

In such a short time, he had already figured out everything about his siblings.

Their abilities come from the depths of their bloodline, but they have not yet been fully activated. Once they are fully stimulated with the Mind Scepter, the door to that power will be completely opened!

This force will instantly destroy everything they are familiar with, creating unprecedented chaos.

All he needed was chaos. Chaos could buy him time to open that massive portal. Once the Chitauri army arrived, he could prove to his father that he was the true king.

A deep blue light instantly enveloped Wanda and Pietro.

Wanda's body tensed abruptly, and she let out a suppressed cry of pain. Dark red chaotic energy surged out of her body like a burst dam.

Her eyes were instantly swallowed by a dark red light.

His body slowly rose and floated in mid-air, surrounded by a dark red energy vortex that swept up the surrounding papers, documents, and tools, turning them into dust.

Pietro's reaction was even more exaggerated. His body was aroused, and he turned into a blurry afterimage, speeding across the walls and ceiling of the laboratory, leaving behind streaks of silver light.

The tiles and light fixtures shattered with a crash, and the power forced into his body made him unleash everything like a wild horse.

Loki watched all this with great satisfaction, and sneered, "Foolish mortals, you can't even control your own power, yet you dare to try to stop a god?"

The brother and sister no longer pose a threat; what they should do now is to forcibly control their power to prevent it from spiraling out of control completely.

Next up was the guy with glasses and mechanical tentacles on his back.

The scepter tapped the ground lightly, producing a crisp sound. This time, the energy skillfully pierced through the noise and chaos created by the twins, precisely striking the deepest part of Dr. Otto's consciousness.

"Doctor, should I call you that? The tentacles on your back are disobedient; you should get rid of them."

Dr. Otto's lips parted wide as he let out a cry of pain. The four mechanical arms that were tightly connected to his spine detached from his back and fell to the ground with a clatter.

Loki nodded in satisfaction. Although someone's presence made his plan a bit more complicated than expected, the result was still the same.

Dr. Otto quickly stood in front of the control panel, entered his fingerprint and iris code, and the artificial sun experiment officially entered its final stage.

Ten minutes later, the circular control device emitted a warm yellow light, and the fusion energy it contained began to release. The light grew brighter and brighter until it finally became a reddish-white sphere.

Loki reached out with satisfaction and aligned the Tesseract with the energy output port.

Then he heard a voice.

You've been tricked.

"What did you say?"

Loki turned his head in surprise and saw Wanda hovering in mid-air, with a dark red energy storm still swirling around her body.

She slowly opened her eyes and said, "For such a long time, our training has only focused on one thing: control."

Pietro also came to a sudden stop while running at high speed, his toes carving a scorch mark on the ground. He stood firmly on his feet and repeated, with a hint of admiration in his voice, "She said you were fooled."
