In the underground laboratory of S.H.I.E.L.D., fluorescent lights flickered, and a tense atmosphere enveloped the entire room. On the table lay the Cosmic Cube, a translucent blue cube emitting a mysterious glow. Its energy flowed like rippling water, dazzling the eyes. Just outside the laboratory perimeter, S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents were fully armed, ready at all times to deal with any sudden situation—they hadn't forgotten the commotion the Cube caused last time.
Suddenly, there was a roar in the laboratory, and a dazzling green light descended from the sky, filling the air with a strong energy fluctuation. The light gradually condensed into a figure, revealing a face with a strange smile—it was Loki. He wore a shimmering green robe, a black cloak draped over his shoulders, and held a symbolic scepter, looking like a nobleman who had wandered onto the wrong set. His eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, and a triumphant smile played on his lips.
Loki raised his chin, elegantly surveying his surroundings, as if the concrete floor had instantly become his throne. His low voice echoed through the laboratory, carrying his usual arrogance: "Oh... it's truly nostalgic to see this World again. But this time, I, Loki, will no longer be hindered by these mortals. I am destined to control this Planet." He took a deep breath, as if to fully inhale the sense of victory in this moment.
Just as he was reveling in the glory he was about to attain, a cold voice suddenly came from behind him: "Do you think you can take the Cube from here?" He slowly turned around and saw Nick Fury standing at the exit, arms crossed over his chest, watching him with a look of disdain.
Loki chuckled lightly, deliberately slowing his tone and adopting a contemptuous demeanor: "Oh, is it the one-eyed 'Sentinel'? What an unexpected meeting." His tone carried a hint of provocation, as if he had long since dismissed the S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents.
Nick snorted coldly and shrugged: "Really? We've been looking forward to your arrival every day. Men, give him a 'warm' welcome." With a wave of his hand, Agents surrounded Loki from all directions, their dark gun barrels aiming directly at him in unison.
But Loki maintained his leisurely expression, even smiling slightly, as if these weapons were mere toys to him. He gently waved his scepter, a cold smile on his lips: "You mortals, you always fantasize about resisting the power of a god. Unfortunately, such foolish fantasies will only make you even more vulnerable."
A blinding yellow light suddenly burst from the tip of the scepter. Before the Agents could react, they were sent flying by a powerful force, without even a chance to stand firm. Nick's eyes widened, and he barely managed to steady himself, muttering under his breath: "Damn god! What an unreasonable fellow."
Loki laughed triumphantly, slowly walking towards the Cosmic Cube. His steps were calm, as if he had already declared his victory: "Is this what you mortals call 'defensive power'? I, Loki, the trickster god of Norse mythology, will not be easily defeated by you this time. I will establish my kingdom in Asgard—oh no, on Earth! And you powerless 'Guardians' can only cling to life at my feet!"
"You wish." Nick sneered while secretly pressing the emergency communication device on his waist. The signal light flashed, summoning backup. Nick seized the opportunity to taunt: "Even if you're a god, our 'welcome ceremony' here is enough to give you a hard time. Just wait."
Loki immediately waved his hand dismissively, as if completely ignoring Nick's threat: "Oh, don't bother, mortal. The 'warriors' you can summon are nothing but ants trying to shake a tree to me." With that, he swung the scepter in his hand, overturning the tables blocking his way one by one, as if playing a prank. The Agents' expressions became even uglier.
"Hmph, it's not too late to be smug when you see them," Nick gritted his teeth, but couldn't help but sneer inwardly. If he could just stall Loki for a few more minutes, backup would arrive. By then, he wanted to see how arrogant this 'god' could still be.
Loki turned around, suddenly lowered his head, his expression turning fierce, staring intently at the Cosmic Cube in his hand, as if everything before him was within reach. He murmured to himself: "I have been reborn. I will never fail like I did last time. This time, the power of the entire Universe will be under my control!"
The scepter in his hand glowed with a faint yellow light again. As Loki whispered, the Cube's energy intensified, and the entire laboratory was enveloped in a dazzling yellow light.
However, just as Loki was about to unleash his divine power, there was a rush of footsteps at the laboratory door. Backup had finally arrived!
Natasha and Hawkeye appeared simultaneously at the laboratory entrance, their steps firm and sharp. Natasha attacked first, sliding agilely to Loki's side, her nunchaku accurately swinging towards his waist. Loki quickly retreated, dodging her attack.
Hawkeye quickly followed up, his longbow drawn taut, the arrow aimed at Loki's chest, and released the arrow quickly.
Loki lightly raised his scepter, and the arrow struck it with a metallic clang, being forcefully deflected. Natasha lunged forward again, using the strength of her arm to strike upwards from a low position, aiming directly at Loki's chin. Loki snorted coldly, agilely stepping back, and swept his scepter horizontally, attempting to force Natasha back.
Natasha dodged flexibly, spun low, and struck back, hitting Loki's knee, but it was just an illusion. Hawkeye seized the opportunity to draw his bow again, shooting three arrows at Loki in quick succession. Loki sneered, and a layer of yellow light surged from the scepter. With a gentle flick of his wrist, he formed a yellow barrier, forcefully blocking the rain of arrows. Two arrows were deflected by the yellow light, and the remaining one grazed his shoulder, which also turned out to be an illusion.
Loki smiled elegantly, his eyes sparkling with cunning, as if everything was under his control. He slowly raised his scepter, pointing it at Hawkeye, a hint of sarcasm and triumph in his smile.
"You mortals always try to challenge powers beyond your understanding," Loki said softly, his tone full of contempt and mockery. "Unfortunately, the scales of power have never been on your side."
As soon as he finished speaking, the gem at the tip of the scepter suddenly erupted in a scorching yellow light, shooting directly at Hawkeye. Before Hawkeye could react, he was hit by the light. His body jolted violently, and his eyes were instantly covered by a faint yellow glow. His usually firm gaze became hazy and empty, his expression stiff, as if he had lost himself.
Natasha's face changed. Realizing the situation was bad, she quickly approached Hawkeye, trying to wake him up: "Clint! Snap out of it!"
There was no reaction in Hawkeye's eyes; he just mechanically turned towards Loki. Loki smiled triumphantly, and with a light wave of the scepter in his hand, Hawkeye immediately walked to the side of the Cosmic Cube and unhesitatingly took it from the laboratory table.
"Thank you for your help," Loki said, giving Natasha a cold glance, his tone filled with undisguised mockery. "Unfortunately, your companion now belongs to me."
Natasha clenched her fists, her eyes filled with anger and helplessness.
This kind of control is probably not something that can be lifted quickly, especially in front of a god as cunning as Loki.
Loki looked at the Cosmic Cube in his hand, his eyes flashing with fanatical ambition. He smiled slightly, gripped the scepter, and took step by step back towards the portal behind him with Hawkeye and the Cube: "Prepare yourselves for a new World—a World that will be shaped by me, Loki, personally."
With that, he and Hawkeye disappeared together into the dazzling light of the portal, leaving behind the messy scene in the laboratory and Natasha's unconcealed anger.
