Chapter 100: The Thief
Dr. Miè: "You've guessed right, but please note that I didn't steal Mr.'s things, he gave me the [Reality Stone] for temporary safekeeping, and allowed me to borrow the power of the gem to protect myself and return it when Tony became an adult." ”
Loki (belly slander): "It's better to say than to sing, old Stark is stupid? The heirloom was handed over to outsiders for safekeeping? What do you say "borrowing", I'm afraid it's [Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou, borrowed but not returned]. ”
Loki: "When Tony is an adult, you'll return the Infinity Stones to the Stark family?"
Dr. Miè: "...... No. ”
Loki: "Hmph, what's the matter? Is it because Tony Stark is not only too small but also arrogant, and you think he is not qualified to inherit his father's Infinity Stones, and you are afraid that he will cause danger to the world after he wields so much power?"
Dr. Miè: "My failure to return the [Reality Stone] on time is not a subjective reason, but an objective one. ”
Loki: "Objective reasons?"
Dr. Miè: "Well, that's why I agreed to meet you...... (Rise from the Lord's seat) Come with me, and I'll show you something. —Lead the way for Loki
The two of them went to the real yàn room, which was located in the basement of the castle
Loki: "What are these instruments?"
Dr. Miè: "A device to study and activate the Stone of Reality." ”
Loki: "And the yellow gem that was activated by the device and floated in the air was the Reality Stone, and I could feel the power it exuded here......" - secretly watching his surroundings
Dr. Miè: "Don't use your brains, you will never be able to leave my castle alive if you attack it, and to tell you the truth, this [Reality Stone] is a fake, which is the objective reason why I can't return it as promised." ”
Loki: "Fake? Isn't it?"
Dr. Miè: "Isn't the Cosmic Cube that you stole from the Illuminati also a fake? Didn't Steve Rogers use that fake to save his old comrades?"
Loki: "Have you studied the remains of the fake?"
Dr. Miè: "Yes. ”
Loki: "But how do you know it's a fake, even the Illuminati think we're exaggerating and over-boasting about the power of the [Cosmic Cube]......" - the more you say it, the quieter it becomes
Dr. Miè: "It seems that you have figured it out yourself, yes, the craftsmanship of the fake is quite exquisite, according to my estimate, it has at least 30% of the power of the real thing, and if it is not fully activated and used, it will not be able to distinguish at all, just like this fake [Reality Stone]." And according to my opinion, both works were made by the same scientist. ”
Me (voiceover): "Two fakes by the same scientist?

Loki: "No wonder you agreed to help me find the whereabouts of the [Cosmic Cube], which is also indirectly helping yourself...... when was the [Reality Stone] dropped?"
Dr. Miè: "I think it was shortly after I returned home, when I was busy exterminating the partisans loyal to the lords of old Latville, and the situation in the country was chaotic. ”
Loki: "Twelve years ago, at the end of the century...... Who knows you own the Reality Stone other than the heirs of House Stark?"
Dr. Miè: "Reed Richards." ”
Loki: "Mr. Fantastic, why would he know?"
Dr. Miè: "Before I developed these devices, activating the [Reality Stone] must be assisted by other [Infinity Stones], otherwise the consequences of using it will be ruinous to the user, Mr. will die of both physical and mental damage caused by the use of [Reality Stone] alone." At that time, I needed to use the power of the [Reality Stone] to avoid the enemy hiding in the shadows, and I had to go to him to borrow the [Power Stone] to enhance my physical protection, so I was rich and was remembered by this sanctimonious villain......"-gritted teeth
Loki: "You said Mr. Fantastic was a villain (don't believe it)...... Did he lend you his own gems at the time?"
Dr. Miè: "...... Borrowed. ”
Loki: "Then his suspicion shouldn't be too big......"
Dr. Miè: "You don't understand, there is some kind of connection between the six [Infinity Stones], as long as you have one [Infinity Stone] plus the [Supreme Hand], you can find the other five [Infinity Stones], no matter how secret you hide, it is useless." The only suspect who was able to find and drop the gem I had hidden while I was away was the dead gentleman and another dead man, so I would like to join forces with you to deal with him and recover the Cosmic Cube and Reality Stone that he stole from him. ”...,
Loki: "So you're trying to "cooperate" with us like that...... Wait, dead sir, how would old Stark find your hidden gem if he were alive?"
Dr. Miè: "Because Mr. has activated the [Reality Stone] without the assistance of other [Infinity Stones], the [Reality Stone] has recognized him as the master and has become in contact with him. That's why Reed Richards only dared to steal my [Reality Stone] and didn't dare to fight the other four gems, the other [Infinity Stones] have already confessed to their owners, and if he drops the bag, he will be discovered by the owner of the gem as soon as possible, exposing him as a hypocrite. ”
Loki: "And who do you mean by "another dead man"?"
Dr. Miè: "Back then, during the recapture of the gem, when Mr. was forced to forcibly activate the [Reality Stone] in the form of shì, a fool who didn't know how to die suddenly intervened and tried in vain to take away the gem that was in the activated state. Who knew that his death-seeking action just helped Mr. share half of the destructive damage caused by forcibly activating the [Reality Stone], and did not let Mr. die on the spot, so that he could return to China alive with me. Therefore, he, like Mr., can also be regarded as the owner of the [Reality Stone]. ”
Loki: "Then it's impossible for him to continue to live? Old Stark is just an ordinary person physically, not very good at fighting, if he is a reinforcement or a mutant......"
Dr. Miè: "That's not possible! The damage is not only physical, but also mental. Fully activating and using the full power of the [Reality Stone] requires not only the physical protection of the [Strength Stone], but also the spiritual protection of the [Soul Stone], and using three gems at the same time will cause trouble......"
Loki: "Woe?"
Dr. Miè: "...... In short, when I borrowed the [Stone of Strength], I only dared to activate the [Stone of Reality] slightly (I didn't dare to use it at full power), and I would follow in the footsteps of Mr. Therefore, even if the dead man physically resists, he will definitely be finished mentally, and if he does not become demented, he will have to become a schizophrenic madman. ”
Me (voiceover): "It turns out that all your crazy actions are the sequelae of using the [Reality Stone], and the title of "European Maniac" is not a blind shout, but a well-deserved one. ”
