Qingshui thought that as long as he could resolve the Chitauri issue as quickly as possible, the nuclear bomb wouldn't come.
But it still came.
It seems Hydra is very eager to eliminate us.
But here's the problem: now that the portal is closed, how do we deal with that nuclear bomb?
"Furey, can I send that nuclear bomb to Washington?"
"If you're willing to give up your position in this country and your billions of dollars in wealth."
"Alright."
Qingshui sighed and then looked at the teleportation device created by Selvig.
This thing should still be usable, right?
"Stark, Thor, I need you to listen to my commands next. Do everything possible to safely dispose of that warhead without causing any casualties."
...
...
Somewhere in an unknown corner of the universe.
"I apologize, my great Lord Thanos, the portal opened by Loki only lasted for less than a minute before it was closed. We only sent in a portion of the vanguard and were unable to bring back the Tesseract for you."
Aboard the Chitauri mothership, the Chitauri leader, Leal, knelt on one knee and lowered his head to the realistic holographic projection in front of him.
"So, the Tesseract and the scepter are both on that planet."
"I can't be sure, Lord Thanos. The Asgardians are also involved. However, it is said that that planet also belongs to Odin's territory."
"You failed to complete my mission. Tell me, how should I punish you?"
Thanos sat on the floating stone throne, looking expressionlessly at the kneeling Chitauri.
"No! Lord Thanos, it was Loki! It was his mistake that led to our people… Wait! The portal is open again!"
Leal raised his head in surprise, looking at the display screen in front of the ship.
Thanos silently turned his head.
In the dark and empty prison, a portal opened right next to the Chitauri mothership, and Iron Man flew out, dragging a missile.
The missile was released, and Iron Man quickly flew back, cheekily blowing a kiss before leaving.
"That's… an Earthling? Everyone, chase after him!"
Thanos sighed softly.
He shouldn't have expected anything from Loki and the Chitauri.
But now, there are still two troublesome guys on Earth. Even for him, it will be difficult to retrieve the gems in a short time.
...
...
Earth.
Seeing Tony fly out of the wormhole, Qingshui immediately used the scepter to scan the Tesseract down.
The wormhole then closed, and Tony landed on Stark Tower.
"How is it? How much power is left? I was just thinking, what if your armor suddenly ran out of power? Would you fall into outer space?"
Qingshui snapped his fingers, dispersed the electric armor, and asked Tony.
"Obviously impossible. I still have 37% of my power. If it really runs out of power, I don't think I'd have the courage to send the nuke in. Of course, even as it is now, I took a huge risk, so it's fair to say I'm the MVP."
Tony Stark spread his hands and walked off the platform with a flamboyant gait.
Mechanical arms rose from the ground to dismantle his armor.
"I feel like even if you ran out of power, you would still do it."
Qingshui shrugged.
A few seconds later, a metal object that looked like a backpack flew out from the inner room and quickly clad Tony.
"Honestly, Thor said you're a wizard, and I actually think that watch of yours that can summon armor like in cartoons when we were kids looks like witchcraft. But I also came up with a similar temporary solution, and I'll definitely do better than you later. Want a drink? French Burgundy, limited edition this year."
Tony, like a bartender, pulled out a bottle of expensive red wine from the cabinet behind him.
"Then give me a glass."
Might as well drink it while he can.
Some of the wine here at Stark's place is hard for even him to get.
This time, the Battle of New York ended in less than ten minutes under his influence, so Stark's suit didn't consume much power.
"Guys, can we stop talking about wine? We've caught up with Loki!"
Natasha's helpless voice came from the earpiece.
In an alley in Manhattan.
No mistake, one hand, one shot, one content, one look!
Loki held a ornate metal dagger in one hand, looking around warily.
Captain America and Black Widow blocked the way from both ends. On the balcony of a nearby house, Hawkeye took an arrow from the quiver on his back, placed it on the longbow, and aimed at Loki.
"Do you think you three mortals can stop me?"
Loki's expression was calm, but he was anxious inside.
If Thor and those two tin cans come over, then he really won't be able to escape.
"Of course, not just us."
Black Widow tilted her head, making way.
At the entrance of the alley behind her, a seemingly weak middle-aged white man rode a small electric scooter, slowly driving towards here.
"Uh… I heard things are almost over? I shouldn't need to call out Hulk to smash things, right?"
Dr. Banner got off the electric scooter and asked Natasha.
"No need!"
Thor's voice came from the sky, and then he landed from the sky, grabbed Loki, and took out something that looked like it was made of gold from behind, and put it on Loki's face, blocking his mouth.
There were also two chains at the bottom, automatically binding Loki's hands.
"I heard you guys talking about wine? After the battle is over, we should drink wine to celebrate."
Thor's face showed a silly expression.
Loki rolled his eyes and silently took a step to the other side, his disgust obvious.
Stark Tower.
"Thor wants to have a celebration party. How about using your wine and my venue? I just acquired the Nine Orchard in the Lower East Side last month."
Qingshui took off the earpiece, turned it off, and asked Stark, secretly pointing to his stash.
The latter's eyes flickered, and he also took off the earpiece and turned it off.
"Okay, Jarvis, block all signal connections on this floor."
"Yes, sir."
Jarvis's voice sounded from the speaker on the bar.
"Are you talking about the nuke?"
"Not just the nuke, Tony, but also the Tesseract and my trophy."
Qingshui shook the scepter in his hand.
"Of course, for those who launched a nuclear bomb to kill me, I only have one way of dealing with them, and that is to let them die."
