Chapter 245: Chapter 243. Changes
"Captain America appeared in Germany!" -- Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
"Men dressed in medieval clothing appeared, creating mass panic." -- Focus Weekly
"Iron Man, Captain America, superheroes are active in the world! " -- The New York Times
"Reptile Man, New York is better off without you!" -- Daily Bugle
"Superhuman forces have appeared in Germany and wreaked havoc, leaving three dead and many injured." -- The Daily Mail
The unobtrusive nature of Loki's activities made it very easy for Ryan to follow the events in Germany through the news reports of the world's media.
If Ryan's guess was correct, today's Loki had successfully entered S.H.I.E.LD.'s Helicarrier by taking advantage of his own slip-up.
At the same time, Fury successfully gathered the members of the Avengers.
Although, the Avengers, who had just met, were still just a rushed team without any mutual understanding. Several of them even had a big fight on the way back while escorting Loki.
But then again, now that the Avengers had met face to face, there was no way Ryan was going to let go of this great opportunity to earn reputation points.
After all, the previous [Silver Treasure Chest] second draw had directly depleted the points he had managed to accumulate through time travel.
At the moment, he was short of reputation points.
"Then, you should go."
Inside the antique shop that had been left behind for a long while, Ryan lowered the newspaper in his hands and addressed the clone in front of him.
"I hate this kind of trouble, but it's still fun to drink ~"
The clone in the antique shop shook the gourd in his hand, muttered, and muttered a spell. In the next moment, the person disappeared into thin air.
Ryan huffed as he watched the clone disappear into thin air.
He found that as the level of the card increased, the manifestation of the clone became even more realistic.
Even Ryan, who was the controller, had the illusion that this was a real person.
Fortunately, even if the clone was real, Ryan could still contact the clone easily with a single thought in his mind. So, for the time being, the more realistic the clone was, the smoother his plan would be.
After all, in the past, Ryan had always relied on himself to control the clone in the antagonist role, which was too taxing on the brain cells.
...
S.H.I.E.L.D., Helicarrier.
Nick Fury introduced Loki to the special features of his prison.
"In case it's unclear, you try to escape, you so much as to scratch that glass, 30,000 feet, straight down in a steel trap. Do you get how that works? You're the ant, and this is the boot."
"So, tell me, what exactly is your purpose?"
Because of Loki's previous actions at the base, not only taking the Tesseract but also destroying the base, had resulted in a large number of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and researchers being injured or even killed.
"My purpose?" With a mocking smile, Loki looked at Fury, "Ooh... it burns you to have come so close. To have the Tesseract, to have power... Unlimited power. And for what? A warm light for all mankind to share? And then to be reminded what real power is."
"Unfortunately, the power of Tesseract is not something you mortals can control."
"We may only be mortals, but you, a god, is locked up by mere mortals. Let me know if 'real power' wants a magazine or something."
Fury could see that Loki was not a man or god who could easily be lulled into a conversation.
Therefore, instead of wasting time, it was better to think of other ways, such as finding the location of the Tesseract.
...
"He really grows on you, doesn't he ..."
At another part of the ship, at the control center.
The Avengers saw Loki's answer, and Banner couldn't help but adjust his glasses and say so.
"Loki's gonna drag this out, so..."
Looking at Loki in the monitor in front of him, Steve asked Thor, who was standing on the side, with a heavy tone.
"Thor, what's his play? "
Among the people there, Thor and Loki had the most complicated relationship, both of whom were from Asgard.
Facing Steve's question, Thor's expression was somewhat silent.
He had thought that Loki was dead, but he not only survived but also launched an attack on Earth.
"He has an army called the Chitauri." After a brief silence, Thor answered, "But not of Asgard nor any known world. He means to lead them against your people. They will win him the earth, in return, I suspect the Tesseract."
"An army? An alien army... a classic sci-fi movie trope."
Hearing Thor's reply, Tony raised his eyebrows and spoke out.
"Sci-fi movie?"
"Well, while you were sleeping, Captain, it's no longer those black-and-white movies where you dance in front of the camera."
In response to Steve's puzzled expression, Tony subconsciously sneered at him, "Yeah, I've seen your movies, Captain. To be honest, your acting is kind of stiff. If you want to go into the film business in the future, I recommend that you watch more of today's films ..."
"I don't think this is a good time to discuss movies."
Noticing the increasing digression in what Tony was talking about, Natasha spoke up to correct the situation, "If Loki has an army, how are they supposed to invade Earth by spaceship?"
"I think he's building another portal."
"When Loki went to Germany, he collected a large amount of iridium. It's a stabilizing agent... it means the portal won't collapse on itself as it did at S.H.I.E.L.D...."
"When did you become an expert in thermonuclear astrophysics?"
In the main control room, Agent Hill looked at Tony, who was talking so eloquently in front of her and couldn't help but ask.
"Last night. The documents, Selvig's notes? The extraction theory papers? Am I the only one that did the reading?"
Tony's question made Steve and Banner look at each other guiltily.
"If that's the case, all the more reason for us to find the other party before they use the Tesseract to create a portal." Back in the ship's main control room, Fury couldn't help but speak back as he heard the speculation between Tony and Banner.
"Hey, Fury, you're just in time. I was just going to ask you how on earth do you see these screens?"
Looking at Fury, who appeared in the control room, Tony randomly asked.
"I turn."
Gazing silently with his single intact eye at Tony, Fury then replied with an expressionless face.
Hearing Fury's reply, Tony couldn't help but shrug his shoulders, "Don't you feel tired?"
Turning his head, ignoring Tony's interruption, Fury frowned and was about to say something.
However, an agent suddenly stood up and reported.
"Sir, an unidentified object has been sighted, flying close to the carrier!"
