The atmosphere at the scene was somewhat strange.
"Why protect these weaklings?"
Loki's Scepter emitted a glow as he continued his speech. "Humans, from the moment of their birth, have always been submissive, submissive to those stronger than them, submissive to those who govern them. Subservience is already ingrained in their blood, their marrow, their minds. They are born to be enslaved."
At the same time, fearless reporters had already arrived at the scene, and more and more people were paying attention to what was happening.
Loki noticed this, which made him even more excited.
However, neither Accelerator nor Misaka Mikoto Alter had any intention of engaging in verbal combat.
Jeanne wanted to say a few words, but the injured from the recent explosions had left her unable to split her attention.
"Sir, Mr. Stark has flown out of the lab," came the news from Shen He's side.
"Tony, are you sure about this?"
He didn't stop Tony; any hero would be impulsive when they saw innocent civilians hurt.
"I brought the EMP Bombs, unless those explosives are ignited." Tony's voice was filled with suppressed anger, "Shen He, what happens if I take him out?"
Shen He was silent for a moment before truthfully answering, "It will trigger a war between Earth and Asgard. Although Loki is adopted, it's obvious that in Zeus's eyes, he's still more important than Earth."
Even though Zeus seemed like a benevolent ruler, Shen He knew very well that rulers were fundamentally not benevolent.
And one should never underestimate an old man's love for his child.
"Understood." Tony wasn't surprised by this, "Then, can I at least beat him up?"
"Of course." Shen He glanced at the big screen, "But you have to queue up, because Saiki will arrive first, then the Guardians, then Steve, and finally, you. Wait..."
His brow furrowed slightly.
Because a bright flash of lightning suddenly streaked across the night sky on the screen.
Boom!
Rolling thunder swept down.
Loki stopped his speech, looked up at the sky, and even couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"Loki!"
Accompanied by a tall, burly, and muscular blond man, clad in full armor and wielding a hammer, descended from the sky like a statue.
Thor actually arrived at this moment.
"Where's the Tesseract!?" Thor reached out to grab Loki's shoulder.
"!"
Jeanne suddenly raised her head.
Boom!
Accelerator flashed in front of Thor, his body, which was completely out of proportion, made a dull crashing sound, actually blocking the attack.
The horrifying vision finally faded from Jeanne's mind.
She had to remind the uninvited guest who had almost made a huge mistake.
"Loki has ordered those he controls to detonate an EMP Bomb if he is threatened."
Thor didn't notice the situation around him until now.
Especially the injured people in a state of utter disarray over there.
"Look at what you've done!?" Thor clenched his fists, his eyes filled with sorrow. "I can't believe you weren't like this before!"
"That's what you think!" Loki's face was devoid of a smile. "I've always lived in your shadow, hiding the real me, just to beg for a little bit of my father's insignificant attention. Now, I'm just being myself!"
"Being yourself? No, you're just showing your pathetic inferiority complex!" Thor stepped forward fiercely. "During the time you were gone, my father taught me one thing: a true king never needs to care about others' attention. You don't understand ruling, and you won't sit on the throne, my brother."
"Then you try protecting your beloved humans!" Loki angrily pushed Thor away.
Boom!
"Wait..." Jeanne's precognition was always a step too slow.
This time, a total of three bombs detonated, and a scorching fireball instantly expanded.
Then, time seemed to stand still.
Or rather, it seemed to stand still in the eyes of Saiki Kusuo.
I don't want to be too conspicuous, Saiki Kusuo pulled up his hood.
Time, rewind.
The blooming fireballs shrunk back in an unbelievable manner, and then all the explosives flew up into the sky. In the eyes of the others, all of this happened in a mere instant.
"This is impossible." This time, it was Loki who murmured to himself.
Even in Asgard, which was hailed as the realm of the gods, time was still a domain that was difficult to reach, not to mention restoring the already detonated bombs.
"Saiki, is that you?" Thor was the first to react, letting out a hearty laugh. Then, he grabbed Loki by the neck, brandishing his hammer. "Next time, we'll catch up properly. I'm taking Loki to get the Tesseract."
Boom!
Just as they were about to take off, a dark lightning bolt, accompanied by a scorching metal sphere, streaked across their path.
"You can't take him."
Misaka Mikoto Alter was surrounded by dangerous electrical sparks, another specially made metal sphere hovering in her palm.
"What's going on?" Thor looked at the little girl, whose clothes were the same style as Saiki's. "Are you a new recruit from Chaldea? You should know who I am. I am Thor, the God of Thunder, a friend of your Master!"
It was only because his temper had improved, and because the other party was a little girl, that he hadn't already slammed his hammer down.
"No matter who you are, you can't take Loki. That's Master's order." Misaka Mikoto Alter didn't care about any God of Thunder.
In terms of lightning, she had absolute confidence.
"Indeed, this is what the Master said." Saiki Kusuo slowly descended from the sky in front of Thor. "Your brother seems to have made a serious mistake. More than twenty ordinary people have died here."
Shen He heard this through the surveillance screen and knew that Saiki Kusuo was also somewhat angry.
Although he claimed not to want to meddle in other people's affairs and was afraid of trouble, he would subconsciously lend a hand when ordinary people were in danger, even exposing his abilities on several occasions. He was the typical type who said one thing but did another.
This time, he was a step too late.
Thor looked at his brother and then at the Chaldea members who had surrounded them.
"Loki will be judged by Asgard for his actions." Thor slammed Loki to the ground. "I will take him to see Shen He."
"Mm." Saiki Kusuo didn't say anything more.
Seeing the other party cooperate, Misaka Mikoto Alter also retracted her abilities.
To be honest, she did hope to have a fight with the other person, to see if he deserved the title of God of Thunder.
"Cough, cough, hahaha." Loki covered his neck and stood up from the ground, "You think I only have these preparations?"
Almost as soon as the words fell, two dark shadows suddenly crashed down onto the rooftop of a high-rise building opposite.
Exclamations came from the crowd around.
Because it was clearly two people.
At almost the same time, Saiki Kusuo and Thor moved, but someone was faster than them. A figure shot through the air, hooking the two people with her arms. It was Quake who had arrived, and dark red energy surrounded them. Wanda was carefully guiding their descent with her abilities.
The Guardians had already arrived at the scene.
The person was rescued, but the smile on Loki's face didn't falter.
"Three thousand, six hundred and forty-two." Loki uttered the number, "Within a week, that many people will end their insignificant lives in various ways. You can't save them. Only I can stop it."
This sentence was clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone watching the event through the close-up live camera.
Thor clenched his fist and slammed it hard into Loki's forehead. Even with the Asgardian's physique, he was still knocked out with a single punch.
"It seems I'm late?" Captain America, fully armed, jumped down from the plane that brought him.
"No, Tony is the one who's late." Shen He's voice came through the communication channel, "Steve, you and Jeanne stay there to comfort the injured people. Saiki, bring Loki over. As for Tony, you can go back to your base."
"No." Tony refused, "I'll stay here too. People need me now."
"Alright." Shen He still agreed.
The media would swarm, and indeed, someone was needed to explain things to the public. According to normal legal procedures, Loki, having committed such a crime, should have been taken away by official authorities. Chaldea, a private company, didn't have that right.
However, this was an opportunity to potentially gain that right.
"You all heard Loki's last words," Shen He turned to look at the large group of agents behind him. "Coulson, you need to get busy, especially with the public. Discuss with Tony and select the appropriate parts of the truth to reveal."
He had a feeling that this time, things would stir up even more commotion than in the original plot.
Without S.H.I.E.L.D., some information couldn't be kept secret. But for Chaldea, there was no need for secrecy.
"Sir, what should we do if official personnel come to negotiate?" Coulson asked, lowering his voice.
Although he said "if," both Shen He and he knew that the authorities would definitely intervene because they had the legal advantage.
Shen He beckoned, leading Coulson towards the outside. They walked in silence until they reached Shen He's office.
"You'll need to discuss this with Fury." Shen He said calmly, "I mean, we need to start with a public relations campaign, emphasizing that we're the experts in this area and accusing them of meddling and making things worse. Then, we can 'reluctantly' agree to their demands. It's best if we hand Loki over to them, and make sure everyone knows about it."
"Sir, is this really a good idea?" Coulson quickly understood Shen He's meaning.
Those people wouldn't be able to handle Loki, and they'd quickly end up with a huge mess on their hands.
"What else can we do?" Shen He wore a helpless expression. "You know how they are. We can control the situation this time, but we might not be able to next time."
"Understood, leave it to me." Coulson nodded with a smile. "Actually, I think this is quite interesting."
He wasn't a loyal agent to the U.S. government. In S.H.I.E.L.D., he could actually see things more clea
