Tony Stark didn't agree with Captain Rogers's views, but he didn't say anything more.
At this moment, what was happening in the image interrupted everyone's thoughts.
The Tesseract was constantly emitting powerful energy, causing huge fluctuations, and even the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. base was shaking violently.
The ground was shaking; the Tesseract spewed out a beam of terrifying energy, forming a huge portal within the underground base. Immediately after, the energy dissipated, and a figure appeared before everyone.
Everyone took a closer look, and it was Loki.
"Space Teleportation." Tony Stark frowned when he saw this. He had previously thought that the key to the huge spatial rift formed by the Chitauri invasion was that device.
But now, just a glance at this immediately made him understand; the key wasn't that device at all, but this energy source called the Tesseract.
And this energy source was clearly not just a simple energy source; it possessed a vast amount of energy, and it likely also had spatial properties.
Although this was highly unscientific, it became much easier to accept if explained and understood from the perspective of magic.
Originally, he thought that as long as the device didn't take shape, everything would be fine.
But now, it seemed it was useless; they could directly Space Teleportation through the Tesseract.
This ability of Space Teleportation completely surpassed their imaginations.
In an instant, the anxiety in Tony Stark's heart was ignited.
"Jarvis, record the entire process, analyze Loki's abilities, and create a new file named God of Mischief Loki," Tony Stark instructed.
"Understood, sir!"
Jarvis replied.
"Indeed, it's Loki. He's not dead yet."
Outside the screen, Thor said with a mix of surprise and joy.
Although he was now certain that Loki might still be alive, he hadn't actually seen him. Now that he finally saw his brother again, his heart was even more certain.
But this Loki looked different from the one he had seen before, his expression filled with ferocity and evil.
"Sir, please put down your spear!"
Nick Fury shouted from a distance. At the same time, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s special forces team was quietly approaching, but before they could get close, Loki used the Mind Scepter to unleash an energy blast, sending them flying.
Even Nick Fury and Hawkeye Barton weren't a match, and were directly knocked back.
The S.H.I.E.L.D. special forces demonstrated their elite training, firing relentlessly at Loki.
However, the bullets had no effect on him.
Although these elite agents were no match for Loki, they bought Nick Fury crucial time. Nick Fury seized the opportunity to secure the Tesseract. Loki then approached Hawkeye Barton and said, "You are different!"
With that, he used the Mind Scepter to take control of Hawkeye Barton.
Tony Stark, watching the scene from afar, immediately instructed Jarvis, "Jarvis, add the following to Loki's profile: Loki's skin appears bulletproof, invulnerable, possesses magical abilities, has the power of Space Teleportation, and can perform individual space wormhole jumps."
Tony Stark recalled how Thor was battered by the Destroyer armor, yet barely bled. It was clear how incredibly resilient he was; even such destructive attacks couldn't truly harm him.
This was evident in the armor worn by Loki and Thor. It was ornate, but as for its defensive capabilities? It seemed to protect only the most vital areas. Beyond those, it offered minimal protection, much like a typical medieval-style suit of armor.
But this, in turn, proved the formidable defenses of the Asgardians.
Even medieval knights on Earth knew to protect themselves with armor as much as possible. There was no reason for Asgardians not to know this, unless ordinary attacks couldn't harm them.
And the most terrifying thing was that they could perform Space Teleportation individually. This seemed different from the Space Teleportation magic used by those trickster magicians, as it was purely relying on the physical body to withstand the distortion of space.
In this scene, it could be seen that after Loki completed his space travel, he only gasped for breath slightly before quickly recovering and moving again.
This showed how ridiculously strong Loki's physical attributes were.
Captain Rogers, at the peak of human physicality, was simply insignificant in comparison.
And this was only Loki, who was skilled in magic and not known for his physical strength. Thor's physical attributes were even more remarkable.
Loki, as a member of Asgard's royal family, was originally from the Frost Giants of Jotunheim.
However, he was also from the royal family of the Frost Giants, just like Thor, who was also of royal descent.
The Frost Giants could contend with Asgard for so many years. Although they were certainly not as powerful as Asgard, they were at least on the same level of civilization, with only a slightly lower level of civilization.
This could explain the war between them that has been going on for years. It's like when humans use pesticides to kill ants, do they feel like they're waging a war?
It's entirely imaginable that over countless millennia, the ordinary people of Jotunheim and Asgard have been undergoing some form of unknown evolution and modification.
This might even allow them to casually live for thousands or tens of thousands of years, or even longer. This is currently beyond human reach and is also one of the future directions Tony Stark wants to develop.
On Earth, perhaps only monsters like Hulk, born from exposure to Gamma Rays, or non-humans like Lin Feng, could compare.
Wait, Lin Feng's physical attributes are probably far superior to those two.
Thinking of this, Tony Stark's anxiety deepened. Faced with these monsters, who are often invulnerable, he must develop more powerful weapons. Otherwise, how could he feel at ease? If they dare to invade Earth, even if they are gods, he'll show them what's what.
"But this Mind Scepter is too outrageous, it can instantly control a person," Black Widow Natasha said.
She knew very well how strong-willed her old comrade was, even if he was probably at the bottom in terms of strength.
But in terms of willpower, he wasn't the worst. He might even be second only to Captain Rogers, and about on par with her.
The other Avengers members all had their own issues, they were problem children in some way.
Yet, even a veteran agent like him was brainwashed and controlled in an instant. The speed was incredibly fast, incredibly terrifying.
Everyone quickly realized this too. Compared to Loki's invulnerability, this method of instant mind control was even more frightening.
The Mind Scepter, or to be precise, the Mind Stone on it, was the key.
Previously, they'd seen Vision demonstrate it in the zombie timeline, and it seemed to emit some kind of electromagnetic waves. Now they found it could also brainwash people.
Hawkeye Barton was speechless when he saw himself being casually controlled by Loki.
He opened his mouth, wanting to defend himself, wanting to explain that he was a person with a very strong will and couldn't be easily brainwashed. However, the fact was right in front of him; he had been controlled.
There was no way to defend himself.
At this moment, Nick Fury seemed to notice Hawkeye Barton's predicament and spoke, "You don't need to overthink it. We all know that's because of the Mind Scepter, and it doesn't have much to do with your own will, in my opinion."
"But the most troublesome thing is, we have to be careful. If Loki uses this Mind Scepter to control people, he can quickly develop a very large force, and the speed is too fast," Captain Rogers said. "Especially if he can control the high-level officials of various countries, that's truly terrifying."
"So, that American President Loki, could he have used this method to become the President of the United States?" Bruce Banner asked with a bit of doubt.
"I don't think it's likely," Tony Stark shook his head. "If he had this ability, he would have changed the republic to an empire long ago. Why would he peacefully be an elected president?"
Everyone thought about it, and it seemed they were right.
"We must be careful in the future and never be controlled by this thing, otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable!"
Nick Fury reminded them.
Everyone nodded. That was indeed the case.
Especially Hawkeye Barton, who resonated deeply at this moment. That damn Loki treated him like a pushover? Easily controlled, how infuriating.
Your brother was shot by me, what about you?
Thinking of this, Hawkeye Barton couldn't help but clench his fists.
Nick Fury in the screen was also shocked to see his S.H.I.E.L.D. agent being instantly controlled. He realized things were taking a turn for the worse.
Seeing God of Mischief Loki continuously controlling the remaining people, Nick Fury quickly put away the Tesseract, preparing to retreat.
"Please put down the case, I really need it!" Loki turned around, looking at Nick Fury, and said calmly, a smug look on his face.
"No need to be so uptight!" Nick Fury turned around, looking at Loki, trying to stall for time, and then said.
"Of course it's necessary! I came all this way for it!" Loki revealed his true purpose; he intended to use the Tesseract to exchange for the throne of Earth with Thanos. "I am Loki, from Asgard, and I have a great mission that you cannot comprehend!"
Everyone looked at the smug Loki and immediately felt a little strange. If they didn't know how the Hulk would later deal with him, they might have been impressed, but now it just felt incredibly funny.
