Loki asked bluntly while staring at the blue cube placed on the complex instrument not far away.
At this moment, he has returned to the secret base established by Hawkeye in the United States to make final preparations for the upcoming full-scale invasion.
Since Hawkeye was once a senior agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., he is very familiar with the thinking patterns and tactical strategies of Nick Fury and other senior executives of the organization, and easily evaded their searches and tracking.
Not only that, this sharpshooter also secretly contacted many enemies of S.H.I.E.L.D.
By promising to pay the Chitauri with their ceramic-steel power suits and energy weapons as a reward afterwards, they obtained a large amount of valuable intelligence, and then made targeted deployments, allowing the alien army they brought in to avoid the real and attack the fake, thereby maximizing the effect of disrupting the situation.
In fact, if it weren't for Hawkeye, the outstanding "traitor" commander, the Chitauri's rigid and inflexible combat style would never have allowed them to disperse to fight guerrilla warfare and sabotage warfare, constantly mobilizing the opponent in the movement to launch a surprise counterattack and destroy their manpower.
They will only face off against the Earth's defenders in big cities, and then be wiped out by a sudden nuclear bomb.
It is also because of this that SHIELD is unable to concentrate all its strength to deal with Loki, but has to devote a large part of its energy to coordinating the forces of all parties and helping small countries with little military power to resist the invasion of aliens.
Even the aerospace carrier and the original Avengers had to travel around the world to put out fires.
General Ross even sent the Astartes Space Marines who were still in training to join the war, and they quickly cleared the enemies that were wreaking havoc over cities in North America, greatly boosting the military's reputation.
Especially the heavy and simple pure land combat power mecha, and the violent aesthetic of using a grenade launcher to knock down the target and then wielding a chainsword to finish off the target, which presents a sharp contrast with Iron Man's style of being light, flexible, high-speed and full of cutting-edge technology.
The simple and brutal crushing force, as well as the tough image of the Astartes warriors mixed with smoke and blood during battle, also won them a large number of fanatical fans among the people.
The military led by General Ross took the opportunity to use public opinion to put pressure on Congress, hoping to obtain more soul currency budget next year so as to form a regiment of thousands of people equipped with small spaceships and various heavy weapons to deal with the alien invasion crisis that may occur at any time.
After witnessing the outstanding performance of the Astartes warriors in the war, other countries also began to plan to select the most elite soldiers to send to Baator for transformation surgery.
Even if there is not enough soul currency on hand, at least we have to establish a quick response team of more than a dozen people.
Of course, Loki didn't care much about these elite Astartes, whose numbers were currently pitifully small.
What really made him nervous was the arrival of Thor.
This means that Odin, the king of the gods, has noticed what is happening on Earth.
If the Rainbow Bridge was intact, the Asgard army would have arrived by now.
Dr. Eric Selvig, who was controlled by the Mind Scepter, obviously did not notice the anxiety in his master's eyes. He still said excitedly and enthusiastically, "Almost there! Just a little bit more! I have figured out how to activate it. Now I just need to choose an appropriate location to open a wormhole leading to deep space."
"I just happen to know a good place."
Hawkeye reached out and quickly pressed two buttons on a device, and then New York's most prosperous commercial street and the Stark Group building were projected out of thin air.
“Why choose this place?”
Loki asked in an uncertain tone.
Hawkeye patiently explained, "Because this is New York, it is very close to the financial center Wall Street. There are many powerful bankers and capitalists in it, which can ensure that the military will not easily use nuclear weapons for bombing. By the time they react, the fleet has already reached the outer space orbit of the earth. By then, backward weapons such as nuclear bombs will be of no use."
"Very good! Then follow your plan."
Loki agreed to this bold plan without hesitation.
Because the latter had already proved himself in previous confrontations.
"Understood! I'll prepare it right away."
Hawkeye nodded slightly, then turned around and began to assign tasks to the last Chitauri army hidden here.
At this moment, he had already changed into a ceramic steel power armor, which not only greatly improved his defense, but also made the types of arrows he used more complex and diverse.
The arrow that instantly caused electromagnetic interference to the Iron Armor and caused it to crash was just one of them.
It even includes antimatter bombs that can create small black holes out of thin air to attract surrounding enemies, as well as melta arrows with super penetrating effects.
So Hawkeye has enough confidence to give his former comrades a little surprise.
Just as Loki was watching Dr. Eric Selvig instructing his assistants to pack up the Cosmic Cube and the surrounding complex instruments and move them away, he suddenly saw little Annie standing beside him. He immediately put on a smile and asked, "Well, you should be scared now, right? Soon countless cities will be reduced to ashes in the flames of war."
After saying that, Loki put on a sinister and evil look and suddenly moved his face closer to scare this interesting human girl.
But the embarrassing thing was that little Annie didn't even blink, but calmly stuffed a chocolate ball into her mouth and ate it with relish, and asked casually: "If you occupied this planet, could you gather all the best pastry chefs in the world and let them make delicious snacks for me 24 hours a day?"
“Hahahahaha!
Of course, no problem! I can even crown you a princess and create a fairy tale kingdom for you to rule.
All the buildings inside are made of cake and honey.
Then you can eat as much as you want and do whatever you like."
Loki laughed and made a promise.
Because he really liked this quirky little thing in front of him, and he had no idea what was going on in its head.
Especially those big, lively eyes, which did not reveal any fear from beginning to end. Even after witnessing hundreds of deaths, they were not moved at all.
That casual and unconcerned look made Loki, who had just left Asgard and started wandering alone, feel like he had met a kindred spirit.
If possible, he really hopes that the other person can stay with him and maintain this relationship forever.
"real?"
An undisguised surprise showed on little Annie's face.
But soon she frowned and muttered in an awkward manner: "I'm afraid this won't work. My father won't agree."
"Father?"
Loki keenly grasped a key word.
He originally thought that the little guy's parents had died long ago, or that he was simply an abandoned orphan.
After all, under normal circumstances, any parent with a little sense of responsibility would allow such a young girl to wander around alone among the ruins of war.
However, Loki did not dwell on this issue. Instead, he stroked the girl's hair and comforted her: "Relax, I will get your father's approval. Because it won't be long before I will be the king of this planet."
"Well - I'm afraid that won't work. Because you probably can't beat my father."
Little Annie looked up with some worry, a hint of pity in her eyes.
She had witnessed more than once the fate of the enemies who opposed Zuo Si, and she didn't want this interesting uncle whom she had finally found to die without a burial place.
"Haha, don't worry, I am a god, and your father is just a mortal. He dare not go against my will."
Loki obviously did not realize the seriousness of the problem. He opened his arms, raised the Scepter of Mind and made a solemn promise.
Unfortunately, little Annie's reaction was just a sigh. She took out a pink heart-shaped badge with cartoon pattern from her skirt pocket and pinned it directly on the chest of the man's clothes. She said in a tone like a little adult: "This badge can protect you. Promise me that you will not take it off no matter what happens."
"No problem. I promise I'll always wear it."
Loki thought it was just a child's trick and nodded in agreement without hesitation, not realizing the amazing arcane energy contained in those bright spots on the badge that shone with silver light like decorations.
Just like that, the two, one big and one small, held hands and boarded a Quinjet that Patton had robbed, and flew straight towards New York.
…
On the other side, far away on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s sky carrier, the first generation Avengers, who had been fighting continuously and intensively for more than a dozen hours, were gathering in the operations meeting room to rest.
Among them, Iron Man Tony Stark is repairing and strengthening his suit, Captain America and Black Widow are testing the new weapons that Coulson has just sent and are still in the trial stage, and Thor is missing his half-brother Loki.
Dr. Banner is still searching the world for the gamma rays emitted by the Cosmic Cube and is not participating in the war at all.
Perhaps sensing the somewhat depressing atmosphere at the scene, Nick Fury was the first to speak and break the silence: "According to the latest battle reports, we have eliminated the enemies wreaking havoc in Asia and America.
No one knows what happened in Africa, and the enemy suddenly disappeared without a trace.
At present, only some remnants still exist in Europe and Australia.
But it's only a matter of time before we get rid of them.
In other words, Loki doesn't have much power left to mobilize."
"No, you are wrong. These are just the vanguard troops brought by Loki. He is using the Chitauri soldiers to attract your attention and buy himself some time."
Thor, the God of Thunder, interrupted Director Lu Dan very rudely.
But this is obviously exactly what Nick Fury wanted, and he immediately asked, "How much do you know about these aliens who invaded the earth?"
Thor answered without hesitation: "The Chitauri are a group of plunderers. They do not belong to any force, but they obey Thanos, a very powerful and dangerous guy.
Perhaps in the past, there was nothing commendable about these guys except their numbers.
But not long ago, they seemed to have acquired some extremely advanced technology.
This not only made the firepower of their fleet extremely terrifying, even destroying several planets that dared to resist, but also greatly improved the protective power of the power mechas worn by individual soldiers, and the power of energy weapons became dozens of times stronger.
So as I emphasized before, the Chitauri who are currently wreaking havoc on Earth are nothing at all.
What we really need to be wary of is the huge fleet that Loki intends to summon by opening a wormhole."
"Wait! You said the Chitauri's technology suddenly improved significantly not long ago?"
Tony Stark's expression changed slightly, and at the same time he cast his gaze towards Balthazar who was sitting in the corner drinking tea calmly, no doubt thinking of something.
"Yes.
Not just the Chitauri.
Various forces such as the Shi'ar Empire, the Kree Empire, the Nova Corps, and the Skrull Empire have experienced a very abnormal technological explosion.
It is also because of this that the entire universe is in a state of chaos.
Thousands of planets and civilizations were reduced to ashes in the flames of war.
There are even several emerging forces that are expanding at a very fast pace.
Even my father had to increase Asgard's war preparedness to prevent a possible larger-scale war."
As a straightforward person, Thor was obviously not good at keeping secrets, and he told everything he knew.
Balthazar obviously noticed the strange looks from several people including Director Ludan and Iron Man, and admitted openly: "Yes, this is the mysterious information you detected earlier that was transmitted by the Trans-Time Beacon Tower.
Generally speaking, a civilization with a higher level of technology is able to receive and transform more knowledge and technology.
However, it is not ruled out that some low-level civilizations may suddenly acquire some key technologies and rise suddenly.
This is also why the ceramic armor used by the Chitauri is very similar to the ceramic armor manufacturing technology you get.
And if these guys also get some incredibly powerful space weapons, it is very likely that the cities built by humans on the surface of the planet will be instantly destroyed in a short period of time.
Remember the whirlwind fish?
That is just one of many means of destruction.
Although the power is far from enough to completely blow up the entire planet.
In addition, there are also light spears that can burn through the earth's core, macro cannons that accelerate building-sized shells to nearly the speed of light, and cluster nuclear bomb rain that instantly covers the surface of a planet like raindrops. "
"Fuck it!"
Upon hearing these terrifying destructive weapons, Nick Fury immediately cursed.
You have to know that he has seen a lot of big scenes and has witnessed the warships of Ronan the Accuser of the Kree, but he never thought that these aliens really have the ability to destroy the earth and mankind.
After all, if things really become desperate, we can call Captain Marvel back.
But now, after hearing about so many weapons that can destroy the earth in an instant, Director Ludan is really scared.
He was afraid that before the savior came back, the earth and humanity would be completely destroyed.
In contrast, Iron Man quickly calculated in his mind how terrifying the power of the light spear that could pierce the center of the earth is, and what kind of device could accelerate a cannonball the size of a building to nearly the speed of light.
"We must find Loki now! At any cost!"
Captain America stood up from his chair, his face becoming extremely ferocious and full of murderous intent.
However, the first generation Avengers present did not know that weapons such as macro cannons and light spears were actually obtained after the super-dimensional beacon tower sent out the broadcast, and they were not really spread at all.
Most of the technologies that spread were developed by Jingitaxa through the unique abilities of the Shuo Oil, and some of them also included the Burning Legion and Titan technologies from the universe where the planet Azeroth is located.
Although the power is quite amazing, it is not enough to cause a star to explode instantly.
The reason why Balthazar said this was entirely to create an atmosphere of panic, so that the entire earth from top to bottom would have a strong sense of crisis, prompting it to make up its mind to develop the aerospace field and enter the universe as soon as possible.
"Thor, you grew up with Loki. Do you know where he might be hiding?" Black Widow asked seriously.
Thor smiled bitterly and shook his head: "How could I know? Loki has loved to play tricks since he was a child, and he almost always manages to trick me. If I knew where he was hiding, I would have flown over to catch him long ago."
Just when everyone was frowning, Dr. Banner suddenly shouted, "I found the location of the Cosmic Cube!"
"Where is it?"
Nick Fury was the first to run to the detector, and found that the light spot representing the Cosmic Cube was moving at a very fast speed and finally stopped in the most prosperous downtown area of New York.
Through real-time tracking by spy satellites, he clearly saw a team of Chitauri soldiers helping to move a large number of instruments.
After the move was completed, Dr. Eric Selvig carefully placed the Rubik's Cube in the middle, then obtained energy from the Ark Reactor in the Stark Group Building and began to continuously debug it.
With the constant stimulation of the huge electric current, the Cosmic Cube began to become brighter and brighter at a speed visible to the naked eye...
After a while, Loki also walked down from the stolen SHIELD plane, accompanied by a cute little girl who looked only a few years old.
"What's wrong with this girl?"
Tony Stark, who always liked children, frowned and asked.
"I don't know. Maybe he's a hostage, or maybe he's just keeping him for fun, just like humans keep cute pets. We just need to lure Loki away and rescue this little guy."
As Black Widow spoke, she quickly put on various new equipment and held tightly in her hand a dagger that emitted a hot red light.
"Okay, let's do as you say. Thor will lead Loki away, and I will take the opportunity to rescue the child and hand her over to you. You will be responsible for sending her to a safe place."
After that, Iron Man put on his scarred armor, walked out of the combat meeting room, and took off directly from the deck of the aerospace carrier.
Captain America couldn't help but complain in a low voice when he saw this: "Damn it! Doesn't this guy Stark have any intention of teamwork at all…"
But before he could finish his words, he saw Thor, the God of Thunder, flying away waving his Meowth Hammer.
After witnessing two of the team's main combat forces leave without saying goodbye, Rogers suddenly felt terrible. At the same time, he missed his teammates in the Howling Commandos during World War II who had cooperated well with him.
"Don't worry about it, Captain. Mr. Stark has always been like this and does what he wants. Thor is the crown prince of Asgard and the son of Odin, the king of the gods. Neither of them is the kind of person who will obey orders obediently."
Seeing his idol looking depressed, die-hard fan Coulson immediately stepped forward to comfort him.
Captain America forced a smile and responded, "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile yet. The most important thing now is to go to New York immediately to stop Loki's plan. The rest of us need the fastest plane."
"No problem, I'll arrange it right away."
As soon as Captain America, Black Widow and Dr. Banner sat down and fastened their seat belts, a dazzlingly bright flame suddenly spurted out from the tail.
The next second...
boom!!!!!!
The entire aircraft broke through the sound barrier at the moment of takeoff, making a huge noise and releasing beautiful Mach loops.
Such a terrifying acceleration almost gave Dr. Banner a heart attack, and even his face turned a little green.
Black Widow even covered her chest and gasped for air, and asked the pilot in the cockpit in front of her: "What model is this plane? Why have I never seen it before?"
后者一脸得意的炫耀道：“它还是实验机型，代号极光，是目前最快的飞机。得益于对陶钢逆向研究的成果，如果不考虑人体承受能力的极限，它甚至能在二十分钟之内飞到地球上任何一个角落。”
“棒极了！这正是我们现在需要的速度。”
拥有超凡体质的美队显然很喜欢这种高速飞行所带来的刺激，不仅没有表现出任何不适，反而瞪大眼睛欣赏着窗外参照物飞快后退的景色。
正当复仇者们全员出动的时候，空天航母的作战会议室内，尼克·弗瑞已经与巴萨扎摊牌了。
“我们需要一支强大的外太空舰队，把齐塔瑞人挡在地球之外。现如今的人类文明根本无法承受轨道轰炸所带来的破坏。”
“那你考虑好要支付的代价了吗？要知道这次危机可是你自己搞出来的。”巴萨扎面无表情的反问。
“什么代价？”
卤蛋局长的心瞬间沉了下去。
“至少四十亿个邪恶的灵魂。毕竟这次面对的可是永恒泰坦灭霸，洛基只是被丢到前台的棋子，主人必须要为最坏的情况做打算。”
巴萨扎毫不客气的狮子大开口。
听到这个数字，尼克·弗瑞的光头上迅速密密麻麻布满了汗珠，嘴唇哆嗦着争辩道：“这不可能！那几乎是地球上一多半的人口，而且有很多根本达不到邪恶的标准。”
“我当然知道你们现在拿不出来这么多。不过没关系，巴托地狱第九层的三十六家银行愿意为你提供包括贷款、融资、发债、收购、货币兑换、打包上市在内的一切金融服务。”
说着，巴萨扎抬起手召唤了一名身穿燕尾服彬彬有礼的魔鬼。
后者刚一出现就立马单手抚胸弯下腰行了一礼，咧开嘴露出宛如鲨鱼般尖锐锋利的牙齿：“啊！你好，尊贵的客户。我是银行联盟第九万三千四百二十五号业务员——阿尔维斯，非常荣幸能够为您服务。”
“你们还搞金融？！”
尼克·弗瑞整个人都惊呆了。
因为在这个魔鬼的身上，他看到了与华尔街金融资本如出一辙想要把自己生吞活剥的丑陋嘴脸。
“当然！ 在伟大地狱亲王索斯的领导下，巴托地狱第九层秉承着有需要就有服务的原则，积极拓展下沉市场、打通上下游连接、紧抓用户痛点。
总之，只有你想不到的，没有我们无法提供的。
而且最近我们还为新用户提供了一系列简单易懂的套餐。
不仅可以帮助客户快速拿到贷款，同样还能享受到极低的利率。
无论是无底深渊的恶魔领主，还是七重天堂山的天使，都与我们有业务上的往来。”
这个自称阿尔维斯的家伙显然是个非常典型的魔鬼，一张嘴就滔滔不绝根本不给别人静下心来思考的时间。
作为一辈子都在跟恶魔打交道的法师，伊格维尔伏当然不可能不了解恶魔的死对头魔鬼，立马露出玩味的笑容等着看好戏。
她百分之百可以确定，这个看上去人畜无害的魔鬼，必然是在憋着一肚子坏水挖好坑等着让卤蛋局长往里跳。
要知道巴托地狱由魔鬼们开设的银行可不是普通意义上的金融机构，而是真正吃人不吐骨头的魔窟。
在这里，如果你还不上贷款，那可是连全家老少的灵魂都要被拉来抵债的。
如果还不够，那么魔鬼们会非常贴心的在物质位面为你留下一个后代，然后让他或者她结婚生子不断将家族繁衍壮大，其所有子嗣的灵魂都会因为契约的关系而堕入地狱，直至灵魂数量足够抵消欠下的债。
当然，在这个期间，所有的贷款利息都仍旧还在一直积累。
“这种事情我做不了主，需要立刻向安理会请示。”
尼克·弗瑞深吸了一口气强迫自己保持冷静。
“当然可以，我非常乐意随行对相关业务做出详细的解释。”
魔鬼阿尔维斯显然知道这是一个大单两眼瞬间放光，脸上也跟着浮现出了职业化的笑容。
其中隐藏在腿后边带有剧毒倒勾的尾巴，更是悄无声息冲神力武僧巴萨扎轻轻甩了两下，意思是如果这一单谈成了自己不会忘记给介绍费的。
就这样，卤蛋局长带着一个魔鬼银行业务员走进了整个空天航母专门与安理会进行联络的房间。
当紧急联络接通之后，五位代表的影像瞬间被投影在屏幕上。
为首的人更是直截了当询问道：“尼克局长，你在这种时候联络我们有什么事情吗？”
“是的，我现在有一件关系到地球和人类未来命运的选择，需要诸位来做决定。
由于这次的外星人入侵是由擅自研究宇宙魔方导致的，所以根据契约上的补充条款，我们在请求保护的时候需要支付额外的灵魂货币。
而根据雷神托尔和巴萨扎先生给出的说法，洛基与齐塔瑞人只是被丢到前台的棋子，真正躲在背后的是一名叫做灭霸的宇宙霸主。
他虽然暂时还没有阿斯加德神域的众神之父奥丁强大，可也已经是得到各方势力认可的强者。
所以那位索斯阁下开出的价码是四十亿个罪恶的灵魂。
这远远超出了我们所能够承受的上限。
为此，摆在我们面前的路只有两条。
一个是冒着巨大风险独自面对随时可能会到来的外星舰队，另外一个就是向巴托地狱的银行借贷。”
这种时候尼克·弗瑞显然不敢有半点隐瞒，从头到尾做了个详细的说明。
“银行？借贷？我的上帝啊！巴托地狱居然还有这样的金融服务？”
一名代表震惊的瞪大了眼睛。
不管是他，另外几个人也都面面相觑，一时之间竟然不知道该作何表示。
毕竟随着全球资本从产业过渡到金融阶段，他们对于这些东西早就熟悉的不得了。
只不过他们没想到以灵魂为货币的地狱魔鬼也会玩这一手。
不过好在能成为安理会的代表心理素质都相当过硬，诡异的沉默持续了几分钟之后便恢复正常。
另外一名代表直截了当的询问：“我们要如何进行借贷和偿还呢？利率又是多少？”
“介于你们星球的人口总数、出生率、犯罪率和死亡率综合计算，以及借贷总数高达四十亿的邪恶灵魂，我已经在来时的路上准备好了一份草案，请过目。”
说话的功夫，魔鬼阿尔维斯抬起手轻轻打了个响指。
瞬间！
一份散发着淡淡焦糊味的巨大羊皮纸卷轴凭空出现并摊开，将密密麻麻的条款全部在摄像头面前。
没过多久代表们就通过摄像头的扫描拿到了打印出来的借贷合同。
当然，这玩意跟所有魔鬼们所使用的契约一样，本质上都是地狱契约的变体。
只不过左思将其做了一系列的延伸，使其在出卖灵魂的契约上披了一层商业合同或对赌协议的外衣而已。
归根结底，只要是形成了欠债并无法偿还的情况，最终结果就是灵魂变成债主的所有物。
换句话说，巴托地狱第九层的银行、股市、债券、金融这些东西，统统都是另外一种隐形收割灵魂的手段。
再配合上发达娱乐消费产业所带来的诱惑，一旦陷进去基本就别指望能爬出来了。
足足过了十几分钟，代表们才在相关领域专业助手的解读下，理解了这份灵魂借贷合同所蕴含的潜在风险。
虽然整体上利率算不上高，可如果想要按照期限连本带利完全偿还，起码需要地球总人口突破一百亿大关，并且确保死亡人数中邪恶之徒占比不能低于百分之二十。
不然的话一旦长时间违约就会出现利滚利的情况。
如果是在平时，这样的合同安理会根本不会签。
因为这可不是想印多少就印多少的纸币，而是活生生的人类灵魂。
可现在他们显然已经没有了选择的余地。
更何况这份借贷合同也不是真的还不上，仅仅只是稍微有一点难度而已。
只要往人口增长速度最快的非洲、南亚次大陆、东南亚地区、中东和中南美洲稍微来一点粮食资源倾斜，相信很快就能完成全球人口百亿这个目标。
到时候再稍微煽动一下社会矛盾、种族仇恨、让黑帮逐渐掌握基层的统治权，一个完美的灵魂货币生产地就算搭建完成了。
所以经过简单的磋商之后，安理会代表们终于同意签署了这份借贷合同。
他们根本没有意识到，就在契约生效的刹那，魔鬼阿尔维斯从头到脚激动地都在轻微颤抖。
因为他完成了巴托地狱第九层领主所交付的任务。
很显然，左思在利用这种方式让人类逐渐背负上一个根本不可能还得清的巨大债务。
也许现在看起来这笔债还不算什么。
But the problem is that the crisis facing the earth is not just this time, but one after another.
Especially when Iron Man Tony Stark used the Mind Stone to create Ultron.
As long as the Vision is completely eliminated with a little manipulation, it will be basically impossible for the Avengers to defeat Ultron, who has the Infinity Gems and a Vibranium body, with just their power.
And since this matter was caused by humans themselves, Zuo Si could naturally collect a large amount of soul currency and completely let this debt get out of control.
At that time, he only needs to tell the overwhelmed Security Council that in fact, soul currency does not necessarily need to be owned by the earthlings themselves, and can also be plundered by killing aliens. Then he can provide a full set of interstellar battleship construction and planetary environment transformation technology, and it goes without saying what will happen.
Soon, human civilization that has expanded beyond the solar system will set the entire galaxy on fire.
Just as the contract came into effect, the decisive battle over New York began.
Accompanied by thunder and lightning, Thor was the first to arrive at the top floor of the Stark Group building. He saw at a glance that his good brother Loki was with little Annie, toasting various fine wines and drinks in Iron Man's wine cabinet.
The two men unceremoniously opened bottles of expensive liquor, poured them into the cups to mix them, and then added juice and soda water into them, and took turns drinking from each other.
If it tastes good, he would give a thumbs up; if it tastes bad, he would spit it out on the spot, and then point at the other person's nose and laugh, as if he was enjoying it.
"Hey! Loki! What are you doing?"
Thor shouted from a distance.
Because there was a little girl at the scene, he didn't dare to get close to her easily, let alone launch a sudden attack.
"I'm drinking, would you like a drink?"
Loki was obviously in a good mood at the moment, and raised the cocktail he had just mixed in his hand.
"Are you sure there's no poison in it?"
Thor asked uncertainly.
Loki curled his lips in disdain: "Even if I want to poison you, is it possible that the toxins on Earth will have any effect on you, the God of Thunder?"
Thor nodded thoughtfully: "That's right, then give me a drink."
Before he finished speaking!
A glass full of wine flew over and stopped steadily in front of him.
As a hearty warrior, Thor had almost no resistance to alcohol, so he raised his head and drank it all up without saying a word, then threw the glass to the ground and broke it.
Snap! Crystal clear glass fragments flew everywhere.
"Come on, Loki, if you are still my brother then leave that girl alone and fight me one on one like a man."
Thor raised his hammer and took the initiative to challenge.
But Loki sat at the bar without moving, sneering and asking, "Do you think I kidnapped this girl?"
"Isn't it?"
Thor asked back angrily.
"Why don't you ask her yourself? Or do you think she looks scared of me?"
When saying this, Loki's tone was full of naked and undisguised sarcasm.
After all, no matter how despicable he was, he would not kidnap such a young child as a hostage.
In fact, the root of his tragic life lies in the fact that he is unwilling to be a selfless hero, but also unable to completely abandon his conscience and become a complete villain. He always wants to find a balance in the gray area in the middle.
But before Thor could ask, Iron Man, the owner of the building, descended from the sky, opened his visor and helmet, opened his arms and said to little Annie, "Pretty little princess, come to Uncle Tony. The guy next to you is not a good person."
"don't want!"
Little Annie simply shook her head to refuse.
This made Iron Man and Thor at a loss. They turned around and stared at each other, not knowing what to do.
Loki immediately clapped his hands and laughed, "Hahaha! What do you think? Do you still think I kidnapped her? On the contrary, she wanted to follow me of her own accord."
"Damn it! This is really troublesome."
Tony Stark noticed the pink badge on Loki's chest and the intimacy between the two men as they clinked glasses.
"What now?"
Thor had a bewildered look on his face, clearly having no experience dealing with children.
Iron Man ignored him and asked his artificial intelligence butler directly: "Jarvis, is there any way you can make that little guy come over by himself or stay away from Loki?"
Jarvis immediately replied: "According to the advice of parenting experts on the Internet, to attract the attention of a girl under ten years old, you can usually use toys, desserts and beautiful clothes.
Since you don't have any of these things now, I don't think the chances of success are high.
Also let me remind you that this girl is not ordinary.
Just before you arrived, she and Rocky had consumed more than four liters of liquor and other drinks.
Under normal circumstances, even adults are very likely to die from alcohol poisoning.
But she didn't seem drunk at all, and she didn't even go to the bathroom.
Most importantly, my detectors can't even detect her body temperature or heartbeat..."
