Chapter 99: Mind Gem

I don't know if it's an illusion, but when a group of people surrounded the special cell where Loki was being held, Ethan seemed to see a tic-tac-toe on Loki's wide, shiny head.

"Are you bringing these friends to laugh at me?"

Loki is a shrewd person most of the time, but when it comes to his brother, his IQ will swish off, as if Thor, the god of thunder, is deliberately targeting him, which is simply a typical persecuted paranoia.

"Don't get me wrong, they're just here to observe. Ethan was at the front of everyone and closest to Loki, "But I'm here to laugh at you." ”

Loki turned his head to look at Ethan, regained his lofty demeanor, and then strolled to the front of the glass wall, and looked at Ethan across the wall: "Ignorant fellow, do you know who you're talking to?"

"A frost giant who grew up in Asgard, who grew up trying to prove that he was better than Thor, never got the attention he wanted, a man who was badly lacking love. Ethan thought for a moment, and he shouldn't have left anything behind: "By the way, there are also fools who are used as pawns by Sanos." ”

The large string in front of him added a few more tic-tac-toe characters on Loki's forehead, and after hearing Thanos' name, Loki magically regained his composure, and looked at Ethan in front of him carefully, as if guessing his identity.

"Who the hell are you?"

Sanos's name is not a secret in the universe, and it is not common to hear it on Earth, he didn't expect that someone on this remote and backward planet actually knew about Sanos, and he also knew about his cooperation with Sanos.

"Sanos, you actually got together with him?"

Don't think that Thor is really in arrears of IQ, in the original plot he noticed that there was another mastermind behind Loki, but unfortunately he was interrupted by Tony Stark when he was pressed, and Loki kept changing the topic, so Thor now doesn't know that Thanos is standing behind Loki.

Ethan stretched out his hand to stop Thor, who couldn't control his emotions and rushed out: "Thor, control your own emotions." ”

Because he was blocked, he suppressed his excitement after such a fight, and then he was sad that his brother and Thanos had come together, just like seeing his cute sister abducted by a bad boy and become a bad little sister.

Facing Loki again, Ethan briefly introduced himself: "My name is Ethan, and I'm a mage. ”

"Mage?" Loki's disdainful expression was not concealed at all: "An earth mage?"

He has the capital of disdain, although Loki is adopted, but he has been raised since he was a child under the teaching of Frigga, the best mage in Asgard, and it can even be said that he is the best mage in Asgard except for Frigga and Odin, who is powerful in all aspects.

Considering his age and civilization level, it is only natural that Loki does not look down on Ethan, an 'Earth Mage'.

Unfortunately, Ethan is not an Earth Mage. In addition, Loki also did not know that there was a group of mages on Earth, and there was an existence among them that Odin should value.

"Although I'd love to remind you that I'm not from Earth...... But it doesn't matter. Ethan raised the scepter in his hand: "You don't know why I'm laughing at you, do you?"

Loki thought he was an ignorant earth mage, and after catching him, he triumphantly wanted to show his existence, but when he saw his scepter in his hand, he realized that things should not be so simple.

"What's the secret of this scepter that I don't know?"

His reaction was very fast, not to mention that as long as a person with a normal IQ could realize the point, Ethan did not deliberately detour around the corner, and had already placed the scepter in front of everyone.

"It's up to you to know what this thing is. ”

Loki's expression became very serious, he really didn't know what secret this scepter had, it seemed that this mage who came out of nowhere knew something he didn't know.

"I'm looking forward to you giving me a surprise. ”

Loki admits that he didn't know, and then spreads his hand and waits quietly for Ethan's next move, he also wants to know what the secret of this scepter is?

Ethan smiled, holding the scepter in his hand and pondering what to do.

Ever since he got the scepter, he has been constantly testing everything about the scepter, especially how to break the seal on the mind gem.

This seal is so powerful that it contains so much energy that even Loki thought it was the core of the scepter, and did not find out that there was a real treasure hidden in it: the Mind Gem.

The function of the seal, in addition to preventing people from discovering the infinite stones in it, is to control the output of energy, and as long as this thing is there, it is impossible to use the true power of the mind gems.

"Luckily, the main component of this thing is a layer of energy. ”

The seal is very powerful and ingenious, and the seal of pure energy is not easy to break, especially since these energy sources are the inner mind gems, so it is impossible to consume the outer layer of energy.

But it's not a difficult thing for Ethan, in fact, if Loki knew the truth, he could easily break this seal, but because of the sheer energy, he didn't find that there was such a secret hidden in the huge energy.

Now it has fallen into the hands of Ethan, who knows the truth, and directly began to interfere with the operation of this energy. His current strength is not suitable for brute force cracking, he needs to use a little more skillful method, it just happens that this is his specialty, he only needs to use a little of his magic power to let the energy of this seal enter a turbulent state, he only needs to find an opportunity to 'push' a little, and this seal will be destroyed.

It may seem simple, but there are very few Kama Taj mages who can do this, even if they are also good at harnessing energy, because it requires a very fine level of energy control.

With Ethan's movements, the fist of his left hand erupted into a ball of brilliant light, which was connected with the light flashing from Ethan's right hand, and in a trance, it was as if Ethan's hands burst out into a blue-white match, releasing dazzling light while shaking between Ethan's hands.

Such an astonishing sight not only widened the eyes of Fury, Steve, Banner and others in shock, but even Thor and Loki were also surprised.

Thor didn't expect Ethan to be able to burst out with such a powerful power - most of the energy that escaped was released by the Mind Gem, and Ethan himself didn't release much magic at all.

Loki was amazed at Ethan's strength as a mage. Compared to a group of laymen who can't understand what Ethan is doing at all, Loki is a real insider, and he can clearly judge how highly technical what Ethan is doing at the moment. If he didn't look down on Ethan, the so-called mage, at this time, he already regarded Ethan as his number one rival.

It's not just that Ethan humiliates himself with a group of people like visiting a zoo, but also because Ethan is an excellent mage, and as the best mage of the new generation of Asgard, seeing another mage inevitably has the idea of not wanting to be compared to the other party.

As the fluctuations of the energy in Ethan's hand became more and more violent, the last burst of strong energy burst out, and a ripple erupted from Ethan's hand, and almost everyone who was swept by this yellow ripple felt slightly dizzy, but fortunately, there was nothing other than that.

"Ladies and gentlemen, congratulations on being one of the first people on Earth to see the Infinity Stones. ”

Ethan shook the scepter in his hand slightly, and the yellow gem that was still in the center of the scepter blade broke away with Ethan's gentle shaking, and then was held in the air by Ethan with the hand of a mage, and came to the palm of Ethan's right hand lightly.

With a shake of his left hand, the scepter made of unknown material was put into the ring space by Ethan, and few people noticed his move, but Fury still noticed it, the corners of his eyes twitched, and finally he couldn't help but speak, as if he didn't see anything, and shifted his attention to the Infinity Stone in Ethan's hand.

With the appearance of the Mind Gem, Loki also knew what kind of treasure he was holding in his hand before, of course he knew that he was being used by Thanos, but the other party sent this thing to him, he didn't find out the secret himself, and he didn't seem to be able to blame others?

"Now you know why I'm laughing at you. ”

"It doesn't prove anything. Loki looked calm, but his face was dark and he was about to catch up with Fury, and everyone could see how upset he was.

"And how about ruining your entire plan?"

Loki was stunned for a moment, then smiled indescribably, "I'd love to see how you sabotage my plans?"

Ethan shrugged his shoulders, his right hand still holding the Mind Gem, just placed in the most conspicuous position, constantly stimulating Loki's nerves: "Destroy your assault team first." ”

Loki's expression was stunned, and then he suddenly realized something, and after quickly scanning left and right, he found that there was one less person present than before.

"Diana went to deal with your strike team just now when you were all paying attention to me. ”

When he broke the seal on the outside of the Mind Gem and drew everyone's attention to himself, Diana took the opportunity to leave, and the assault team waited for a sneak attack outside the aircraft carrier.

Ethan wasn't ready to let things go according to the original plot, and Loki actually fell into a big pit when he was caught on his own initiative, because this time he couldn't get out while the Avengers were infighting.

Just as Ethan finished speaking, Diana, who was wearing battle armor, came back with the unconscious Hawkeye in the surprised eyes of everyone.
