Chapter 291 The Incoming Enemy

"You seem... very excited!"

After observing the excitement in the eyes of the elegant priest, Loki couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly.

When he told the purpose of the army, he actually wanted to further scare the weird guy in front of him, but for some reason, it seemed that his words made him even more excited.

After noticing the change in Loki's mood, Father Ruya showed a smile on his face.

"Of course, chaos... is the best ladder to progress. In this world where classes have long been solidified, you won't understand how long I have been waiting for such an opportunity."

"Yeah?"

Loki showed a noncommittal expression upon hearing this.

Seeing this, the elegant priest showed no intention of explaining. Instead, under Loki's vigilant gaze, he opened the black book in his hand again.

"As a friend, I don't mind letting you see my sincerity first."

As the elegant priest turned the black book to a certain page, a mysterious whisper came from his mouth.

Under the power of that spell, large areas of black energy soon appeared around Father Ruya.

Immediately afterwards.

At the feet of the elegant priest, three overlapping black six-pointed star patterns vaguely appeared.

Loki's expression changed when he saw this, and before he could wave the scepter in his hand again, densely packed pale palms emerged from the ground around the elegant priest.

At the feet of the elegant priest, there is a piece of rotten flesh and blood covered with black barbs. It is like a flower bone. It has split into layers of flesh and blood petals wrapped in fascia. In the center of the layers of petals, there is a body wrapped in disgusting mucus. Living black suitcase.

The moment he saw the black suitcase, and thinking of what the elegant priest had just said, Loki seemed to realize something. He raised his hand slightly to stop Hawkeye who wanted to attack, and then looked at the man in front of him quietly. What the hell is this guy doing?

Upon seeing this, Father Ruya smiled softly, then leaned over and pressed the button in the middle of the black suitcase, and the suitcase opened automatically with a "click".

Then a tube of metal iridium contained in a glass jar appeared in the sight of Loki and others.

After picking up the special glass jar containing the metal iridium.

Father Ruya threw it to Dr. Selvig, who was approaching unconsciously.

"Metal iridium is a special metal that only appears in meteorites. It is a special metal that does not belong to the earth. After ancient alchemists discovered this special metal, they used it to build portals because this special metal can transform the gate of space. It’s bigger and more durable.”

After taking the thrown glass jar in a panic, Dr. Selvig checked the piece of metal iridium stored in it, and then nodded to Loki.

"That's really what we need."

After listening to Dr. Selvig's words, Loki, who was still looking at the elegant priest with a wary expression, suddenly changed his face and smiled: "Very good, you impressed me with your actions. You are indeed qualified." Become my friend, and when I conquer Midgard, you will be the first lord of Midgard."

Loki suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, my friend, I don't know your name yet."

"You can call me Cassius..."

Before Cassius could finish speaking, the spiritual scepter that had been accumulated for a long time in Loki's hand began to shine brightly again.

A light blue energy wave instantly cut through the void, shattering the pale palms surrounding Cassius, and then fell on Cassius.

At the same time, Hawkeye Clinton, who had already received Loki's signal, shot the exploding arrow in his hand with a "whoosh" sound.

The surrounding guards controlled by Loki also moved wantonly towards where Cassius was, tilting the bullets in their hands.

"Rumble..."

In order to completely kill this guy who made him feel the crisis, the psychic scepter in Loki's hand continuously fired energy waves with huge destructive power towards the center of the explosion.

And Hawkeye and others on the side also used the firepower in their hands without hesitation.

After a few minutes.

After the diffuse smoke and dust dissipated, apart from a huge broken crater where Cassius had been standing, there were only puddles of blackened flesh and blood that had been blown into pieces.

After stamping out half of the burning black book cover with one kick, Loki looked at the minced meat splattered everywhere around the pit, showed a smile and said:

"Cassius, I will remember your contribution..."

After speaking, Loki turned to look at Dr. Selvig, who was holding the metal iridium and retreating behind the crowd, and said, "With this thing, you can open the door to space enough to transport an entire army?"

"No, it can only ensure that the space gate will not collapse by itself like it did in SHIELD's secret base last time. In addition to this, we still lack one last thing, and that is a high-intensity energy source."

After quickly putting the metal iridium in his hand aside, Dr. Selvig picked up a tablet next to him and tried to explain the operating principle of the space gate to the two of them.

"We must heat the Cosmic Cube to more than 100 million degrees Celsius before we can use those instruments to actually activate the Cosmic Cube, then break down the space barriers and build a large and stable space gate..."

After Loki listened, he directly refined the core of Dr. Selvig's question and asked: "So where can I find the high-intensity energy source you mentioned?"

"Stark Industries Building on Madison Avenue in Manhattan, New York City."

Soon, Dr. Selvig skillfully named a place. It was obvious that he had already had the answer in his mind before answering Loki's question.

"Stark Industrial Building?"

"Yes, Tony Stark discovered a new element not long ago, and developed a clean energy comparable to nuclear energy. But..."

Speaking of this, Dr. Selvig paused, and then continued: "But Stark Industrial Building is a pearl in New York. If we open the space gate there, it will inevitably become the focus of the world, and Iron Man Tony Stark is not easy to mess with. We may have a lot of trouble at that time."

"Trouble?"

"Will we have no trouble if we open the space gate in other places?"

After asking a question, Loki's face showed a pride immersed in his bones, "Besides, don't you think it is more meaningful to completely destroy the pride of the government in the face of countless human beings?"

······

After solving the biggest problem facing the space gate.

Loki, who changed to a temporary base again, closed his eyes and contacted his largest investor with the help of the mind scepter in his hand.

Under the shining light of the Mind Scepter, Loki's will quickly connected to a dark world.

In this dark world, a fierce and strange figure seemed to have been waiting for Loki for a long time.

When Loki, wearing a pair of huge golden pointed helmets, holding a scepter, and wearing a dark green robe, appeared, a hoarse voice sounded in this dark space.

"Loki, you've made us wait too long. The Chitauri army is already impatient..."

"Then let them get ready!" Loki stepped forward slightly, turned sideways and said to the figure, "I will lead them to fight a glorious war."

"War? Are you talking about those weak earthlings?"

"Weak?" Loki sneered: "Don't underestimate the earthlings... But as long as your army is as strong as you said, I will lead them to victory."

"Are you questioning us?"

As if offended, the fierce and strange figure suddenly became sharp as soon as Loki finished speaking, and said coldly: "Are you still questioning the one who gave you the scepter? The one who gave you ancient knowledge and new hope. "

"Humph", Loki snorted coldly and counterattacked, "It is precisely because I don't want to disappoint that person's trust that I am here to remind you. After all, if the powerful Chitauri army you mentioned is defeated by the weak earthlings you mentioned, then I will definitely not be the only one who will be unlucky. "

"Put away your arrogant look and think carefully with your stupid brain. If the earth is really as weak as you think, the Cosmic Cube would not have been left on the earth. "

After encountering one mysterious and dangerous enemy after another on the earth, Loki has already changed his impression of the earth.

In this vast universe, the earth may still be very weak, but it is definitely not as weak as others imagine.

Especially the guy who took away the ice treasure box from him by strange means.

"Hahahaha... Are you going to defeat us with just the Earthlings?"

The ferocious figure in the dim space let out a hoarse and ugly laugh as if he had heard some big joke.

The next second, the figure suddenly left a shadow and rushed to Loki in an instant. The face close to Loki showed a cruel and fierce look and said, "Ignorant Asgardians, you don't understand the power of our Chitauri at all. The earth you mentioned is just a springboard for us."

"We have never set our sights on the earth, but on the wider world brought by the Cosmic Cube... How could an indigenous civilization that has not even left the planet breed the enemies of the Chitauri?"

"You just need to do what you should do and open the portal. Our Chitauri army will rush into the earth to wipe out the indigenous people on that planet for you and help you realize that ridiculous ambition..."

When the dark space shattered, Loki, who opened his eyes again, looked at the flashing Mind Scepter in his hand without saying a word.

Although the Chitauri are arrogant, even Loki cannot deny their power.

And all that was the strength that the Chitauri had gained by conquering several planets for that person.

If everything goes well.

When he opens the space gate and summons the Chitauri army to this world, he can conquer the earth with the Chitauri army.

When that time comes.

I will definitely find the bastard who stole the ice treasure box and make him pay the price.

········

On the other side.

In a dilapidated castle shrouded in layers of light mist.

In the center of a gloomy basement, there are three dark red coffins.

And above each coffin, there is a bronze lamp lit with unknown oil and emitting a pale green light.

Suddenly.

The bronze lamp on the far left extinguished without wind.

When the bronze lamp went out, an inexplicable biting wind blew in the gloomy basement.

Just as the lights of the other two bronze lamps swayed in the wind.

A pale hand suddenly stretched out from the coffin and climbed the edge of the board.

Then.

Cassius, who seemed to be younger, but with a face as pale as a corpse, grabbed the edge of the board and climbed out of the coffin on the far left.

·······

Two hours later.

In a sparsely populated town somewhere.

Cassius, who changed into a priest's robe again, came to an ice storage built underground.

Looking at the young figure standing in front of an ice coffin in the ice storage, wrapping himself tightly, Cassius smiled as he walked into the ice storage.

He really didn't expect that the woman who lacked potential at the time would give birth to such an excellent offspring.

Excellent, making him want to... destroy her!

After hearing the noise coming from the door, the young figure standing next to the ice coffin turned his head and looked towards the entrance of the ice storage.

When he saw Cassius, the young figure's eyes suddenly burst into a piercing coldness.

Lowering his head, Cassius said to the young figure who showed a strong chill to him: "If you still want your mother to be resurrected, it's best not to show this expression to me."

The young figure heard the words, and a sneer appeared on his tightly wrapped face: "Hehe, is she really still the same after resurrection?"

"Of course, don't compare the gift of my Lord with those low-level black witchcraft.?"

Looking at the young figure with a trace of doubt in his eyes, Cassius suddenly pointed at himself and said: "Don't you find my difference until now? My goddess of wisdom, Metis."

After hearing Cassius' words, Metis, who had turned her head away, turned her head suddenly.

With Cassius's special reminder, Metis suddenly discovered that Cassius, who appeared in front of him today, had a deathly pale face.

The color of his skin was like a dead person who had not been exposed to sunlight for a long time.

Not only that, his face seemed to be a few years younger than before, and the scar that he had left on the aorta of his neck with that special weapon, which should never fade, disappeared strangely.

Seeing this, Metis seemed to have thought of something, and a hint of shock was revealed in his eyes.

"How is it possible, you actually..."
