An hour later, New York, Manhattan.
"Yes, I've mobilized all the security personnel of the group and temporarily hired the best security company in New York. Whether it's the Osborn Building, my house, or your house, they are now as solid as a rock... right?"
In the Osborn Building, in the CEO's office, Menken stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, holding his phone, and looked at the distance in shock.
Just a dozen or so blocks away from the Osborn Building, Stark Tower, another New York landmark, was now emitting a beam of light piercing the sky from its top.
A huge wormhole appeared on top of Stark Tower, and as it slowly expanded, unknown creatures riding on platforms flew out.
"There really are aliens..."
He was still holding a grudge against Tony for calling him Bambi and a bunny.
"Looks like the bunny小姐 is angry. Does she need a mature uncle's comfort?"
Stark flipped open his battle armor's mask, looking at Loki with a teasing expression.
"You go comfort the bunny princess. I'll go shut down that portal."
Shimizu, holding the Mind Stone scepter, instructed Tony and flew upwards.
Still have to sigh, having formulas to solve problems is fast.
What bunny princess?
"Humble mortals, you will regret this!"
A palm cannon from Tony answered Loki.
At the top of Stark Tower, Dr. Selvig was kicked to the ground by Shimizu.
"Hey! You can't treat a sixty-nine-year-old man like this!"
"Sorry, Professor."
Shimizu shrugged, put the Mind Stone into the energy barrier, and pushed the Tesseract down.
The beam of light at the top of Stark Tower suddenly shrank, and the portal in the sky lost the support of the Tesseract's energy and also began to shrink rapidly.
A huge Leviathan had just swam out half of its body when it was instantly cut off.
Losing the signal support from the mothership, these Chitauri also suddenly fell from the sky like they had lost power.
"You lost, bunny girl princess."
Tony Stark looked at Loki, who had fallen to the ground in front of him, and said with a grin.
"You're the one who lost!"
The Loki on the ground instantly turned into an illusion and disappeared, while the real Loki was quietly walking down the stairs, running out of Stark Tower.
At the same time, Thor, as if having a telepathic connection, saw Loki's figure and flew in front of Loki, wielding his hammer.
"Loki, come back with me. You have failed."
Thor looked at his beloved brother.
Loki looked at Thor, knowing that there was no way to escape, so he immediately put on a deeply affectionate expression, with glistening tears in his eyes.
"Sorry, brother, I just... I just wanted to prove to Father that I'm not bad."
"I know, I know, you have always been excellent."
Thor immediately softened, stepped forward, and opened his arms to hug his brother.
Then his kidney was stabbed by Loki's dagger, and the Loki in front of him also turned into an illusion and disappeared.
Next block.
Loki, who had discarded a dagger, breathed a sigh of relief, and then the light and shadow on his body changed for a while, turning into the appearance of Captain America.
Just as he walked out of the corner, he encountered Black Widow.
"Captain? Have you seen Loki?"
"I just saw him and Thor fighting over there."
Loki casually pointed in the direction he came from.
"Then why are you walking this way?"
"I..."
"Bang!"
Black Widow instantly drew her pistol and opened fire on Loki.
The latter reacted extremely quickly, instantly dodging Black Widow's bullets. As the light and shadow on his body faded, he turned around and ran, while also not forgetting to split into several clones to interfere with Black Widow's vision.
"I found Loki, on Bleecker Street! But I'm not sure which one is the real him!"
No mistake, one head, one shot, one inside, one content, one is in one look!
"Roger that!" × N.
At the top of Stark Tower.
Shimizu did not follow to catch Loki, but decisively knocked out Dr. Selvig next to him and picked up the Tesseract.
The Infinity Stones possess extremely powerful power. Without sufficiently strong physical fitness, rashly contacting them is unbearable. Generally speaking, it is best to have a divine weapon as a carrier to share the pressure brought by the stones.
This way, even if you can't fully exert the power of the stones, at least it's safe and usable.
That's how the two Infinity Stones Shimizu has on hand are.
The top of the scepter is made of an extremely strong metal with extremely high energy conductivity, directly connected to the Mind Stone.
However, this metal must be very precious, because the lower half of the scepter is another unknown alien metal.
The hardness and energy conductivity are good, but compared to the tip above, it is much worse. Even when Shimizu used Chakra to clash with the Mind Stone energy transmitted within it, a crack appeared on the surface.
As for the Tesseract, with a layer of cube outside enclosing the Space Stone inside, even Nick Fury can directly hold it in his hand, let alone Shimizu.
The Mind Stone has to be seized somehow. Too many people are eyeing the Tesseract, so it's estimated that it can't be obtained.
But this does not prevent Shimizu from squeezing out the last bit of profit as much as possible.
Taking advantage of no one's attention, Shimizu reached out and clenched the scepter, pouring a large amount of Chakra into it.
The light of the Mind Stone became more and more dazzling, and visible energy permeated around the scepter.
"Crack!"
The tip of the scepter, like a chisel, was used by Shimizu to chisel a corner off the Tesseract.
"Very good!"
Shimizu's face lit up with joy, and he manipulated electricity to open a compartment in his shoulder area.
This is where ammunition is loaded. Some were used up on the Helicarrier before, and the remaining space is enough to accommodate a fragment of the Tesseract.
Just after a small piece was dug out, the energy fluctuation of the Tesseract showed some abnormalities, and the light of the central Space Stone became more and more flickering.
"Ugh..."
Just as Shimizu was still thinking about how to deal with it, on the Helicarrier, Nick Fury put down the rocket launcher on his shoulder and looked at the Quinjet that was flying towards New York without his orders.
"Wat, Stark, can you hear me? There's a fighter jet carrying a nuclear warhead flying towards you! The missile is estimated to arrive in one minute!"
Shimizu's expression froze. He looked at the missing corner of the Tesseract and then looked at the empty sky.
