Loki: Shatter, illusion!

Inside the command center.

On the pale blue holographic screen, the gamma-ray band of the Mind Scepter is being displayed.

Tony twirled an electronic pen in his hand, his eyes fixed on the data stream on the screen, his tone revealing undisguised frustration.

"Fury is lying."

"Although I also feel that he is hiding a lot of secrets, now is not the time for infighting."

Banner took off his glasses and rubbed his temples.

He felt a throbbing sensation in his temples, and a strange heat rose from the bottom of his heart, making him want to smash something.

"No, it's not just a secret."

Steve walked in, carrying a futuristic-looking energy rifle.

He slammed the gun heavily on the lab table, the metal striking the glass with a sharp, piercing sound.

"This is Hydra's technology. I saw this thing seventy years ago."

Steve's face was so dark it looked like it could drip water.

The atmosphere plummeted to freezing point.

The automatic door slid open, and Nick Fury strode in, his black leather trench coat billowing behind him.

"What are you doing, Captain?"

Fury stared at the gun, a flash of annoyance in his single eye.

"I'm waiting for an explanation."

"You mean this kind of energy cannon that can blast people to smithereens when you say you're using the Rubik's Cube to develop infinite energy?"

Steve stood his ground, chest puffed out, staring intently at Fury.

"Because we need deterrence!"

Fury suddenly raised his voice; the usually deep and calm king of secret agents seemed unusually irritable at this moment.

He pointed out the window and then pointed to Li Ang, who was sitting leisurely in the corner drinking tea.

"Look at this world! Not only are there aliens, but also Stand users, Devil Fruits, and chakra!"

Fury completely lost control of his emotions, spitting as he spoke.

He strode up to Li Ang and pointed at the seemingly harmless shop manager.

"Do you think this is funny?"

"I am facing a completely unknown, chaotic world, a world devoid of any logic!"

Fury turned around, his one eye scanning the Avengers, his voice hoarse.

"Before, I only had to defend against nuclear bombs. Now I also have to guard against someone casting a spell and turning this planet into a donut!"

"So you used the Cosmic Cube to create nuclear weapons?"

"Nuclear deterrence is outdated, Nick."

Tony crossed his arms, his voice laced with sarcasm.

"That's still better than pinning our hopes on you, you megalomaniac!" Fury retorted.

"What did you say?" Tony stepped forward, the reactor on his chest glowing brightly.

"Hey, Tin Man, don't make things too complicated."

"Take off that armor, and who do you think you are?"

Steve also turned around, and influenced by the Mind Stone, he now found Tony extremely displeasing.

"Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist... Kamen Rider!"

Tony retorted without backing down, "Any way is better than you, you old popsicle who just obeys orders."

"Is this what they call a superhero team?"

Thor scoffed from the side, "In Asgard, only the most savage trolls would argue like you."

"Shut up! You have no right to speak here, alien!"

The argument grew louder and louder, and the entire laboratory turned into a powder keg.

in the corner.

Li Ang gently blew on the tea leaves floating on the teacup, his eyes filled with amusement.

"Wonderful."

He muttered to himself and casually peeled a sunflower seed.

"The Mind Stone's brain-depressing aura is indeed well-deserved; even an old fox like Fury was brought to his knees."

He glanced at Banner, who was standing next to the lab bench.

He was curious whether Banner was now affected by the Mind Scepter.

After all, for this universe, the power of the Mind Stone originates from the rules.

This usually mild-mannered doctor had faintly visible blue veins on his neck, with a pale green hue surging beneath his skin.

"Since you all see me as a threat..."

Banner muttered to himself, his hand unconsciously gripping the scepter of the mind.

"Banner".

Li Ang suddenly spoke, his voice not loud, but it pierced through the noisy argument.

"If I were you, I wouldn't use that thing as a back scratcher."

Banner suddenly woke up.

He looked at his hand holding the scepter, and released it as if he had been electrocuted.

"I...I didn't intend to take it."

Banner took two steps back in alarm, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

However, it was too late.

Drop drop!

A sudden, urgent alarm blared in everyone's tactical headsets, and Agent Hill's panicked voice came through.

"External attack! Engine number three has been hit! Turbine has stopped!"

Boom!!!

A violent explosion was accompanied by a terrifying tremor, and the entire space carrier tilted to the right at a 45-degree angle.

"ah!!"

Everyone present lost their balance.

Equipment, glass, tables and chairs, along with those arrogant superheroes, all slid towards the wall.

Tony reacted the fastest, summoning nanotentacles to grab the armrest.

Steve used his shield to jam the door.

Fury was thrown off the control panel, grimacing in pain.

Only Li Ang.

He maintained his original posture, and not a single drop of water spilled from the teacup in his hand.

"The show is about to begin."

……

Lower deck, containment area.

With the violent shockwave of the explosion, the circular glass cage holding Loki emitted a teeth-grinding squeaking sound.

Although it was incredibly sturdy, the hydraulic system that connected it loosened during the vibrations.

"Oh……"

Loki, who had been lying on the ground pretending to be dead, slowly raised his head.

The blood at the corner of his mouth was still wet, and an extremely crazed smile spread across his face.

"What a bunch of... easily manipulated monkeys."

Luo Ji stood up and straightened his disheveled suit collar.

He didn't need to escape, because chaos had already descended.

Through the glass, he saw two fully armed S.H.I.E.L.D. agents rush in, guns pointed at the cage.

"Don't move! Back off!" the agent roared.

Loki ignored them.

He slowly extended his right hand, palm facing upward, as if waiting for something.

hum.

A pale blue ripple spread through the air.

A simple, antique-looking Japanese samurai sword appeared in Loki's hand.

This knife looks ordinary, not even as intimidating as that Squidward's clarinet.

The two agents outside the door were stunned for a moment.

"A knife? Is he doing magic?"

One of the agents scoffed, "Put down your weapons! Or we'll open fire!"

Loki gently stroked the blade.

"Mortals always believe what they see."

Loki spoke softly, his voice carrying a chilling elegance as it came through the glass.

"You think you've seen the truth, but it's just a mirage."

He raised his head, his green eyes reflecting the cold glint of a blade.

He didn't look at the two agents, but instead looked up at the sky.

What are you most afraid of?

"It's that green monster, right?"

Loki lowered the tip of his sword, and the moment the blade touched the ground, ripples spread out like water.

"Let's make this nightmare a little more exciting."

Loki parted his thin lips slightly and uttered the words of liberation that were enough to make the entire Soul Society... and the entire Marvel universe tremble:

"Shatter, you illusion, you mirage."

Ding!

A crisp, clear whistle pierced through the cacophony of alarms and the heavy deck.

It slipped into Banner's ear as he struggled to get up.

……

In the ruins.

Banner had just crawled out from under a pile of instruments when his glasses were broken.

He tried to regulate his breathing, attempting to suppress the raging beast within him with a calming mantra.

"Calm down... Hulk, calm down..."

He doesn't want to transform.

If you transform inside this iron box 10,000 meters in the air, everyone will die.

Just then.

"roar!!!"

A deafening roar exploded in his ears.

Banner turned his head and saw several Lokis of different sizes rushing towards him.

"No!!!"

Banner let out a desperate roar.

His skin turned green, his muscles bulged like rocks, and the sound of his clothes being torn apart rang out.

Under the complete hypnosis of illusion, Banner no longer sees reality, but rather a hellish scene meticulously woven by Loki.

At this moment, reason completely broke down.

"Hulk...Attack!!!"
