Chapter 287: The curtain opens
Things turned out to be as Ling Xiao predicted, and although Tony Stark was catching up left and right, he was still one step too late after all.
On the roof of the Stark Building, Professor Eric Shagwe has opened the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, a scientific instrument that is even further than the research equipment of S.H.I.E.L.D., and is absorbing xenomorph energy from the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, and begins to communicate coordinates, shake space, and prepare to attract the invasion of the Chiritas.
"Sir, I've turned off the Ark reactor, but the Cosmic Cube is already charging." Although there were no emotional fluctuations in Jarvis's words, Tony Stark could feel his frustration when he heard it.
It's not enough that S.H.I.E.L.D. can bypass its system protection, Professor Eric Shagway can also do it, and he doesn't know how the other party did it, as the world's top intelligent system, Jarvis can't help but feel a sense of loss.
Suspended in mid-air, Stark looked at Professor Shagway and said in a deep voice, "Turn it off, Professor Shagwe." ”
"It's too late, it can't stop." The brainwashed Professor Shagvi was like a fanatical believer in a cult, and he said excitedly: "He wants to open a new universe for us!" ”
"Okay!" Looking at Professor Shagwe, who was already hopeless, Stark gave up trying to convince him, and as soon as he raised his hands, the two palm cannons had already blasted towards the equipment wrapped in the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.
The palm cannon that can blow up all the cars hit this pile of instruments and equipment, and it was instantly blocked by a round blue protective shield, and the shock wave of the recoil not only stunned Professor Shagwei on the side, but even Stark, who was wearing steel armor, flew out.
"Sir, that shield is made of pure energy and cannot be penetrated." Jarvis's afterthought sounded in his ears, and Stark frowned and said, "Yes, I found out too." ”
At this time, Tony, who had regained his footing, happened to see Loki coming out of the building, and let out a heavy breath, Stark gritted his teeth and said, "Jarvis, prepare Plan B." ”
Stark's decision took Jarvis by surprise, and he had to warn, "Sir, the Mark VII is not ready for actual combat. ”
"Leave that alone, we're pressed for time." Tony knew he couldn't wait any longer, the door could be opened at any moment.
As he walked towards the interior of the building step by step, several mechanical hands stretched out at the same time, dismantling the steel armor on his body in an orderly manner.
Loki, who was standing on the lower floor, was also very amused by this scene, he walked back to the building from the other side, looked at Stark, who had taken off his steel armor and was only wearing civilian clothes, and said proudly: "You are here to beg me to be kind to you, right?" ”
"No, I'm here to threaten you." Standing on the steps of the second floor, Tony's answer surprised Loki a little.
He couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Then you should at least put on your armor so that you look like that." ”
"yes, but unfortunately it didn't work very well. Especially since you're still holding the scepter that holds your destiny in your hands. Tony walked down the stairs to the bar, grabbed his drink, and asked Loki, "Would you like a drink?" ”
"Haha!" Holding the spiritual scepter in his hand, Loki couldn't help but laugh: "Delaying me won't change your fate!" ”
"No, no, it's a threat to you." Stark emphasized again, and at the same time took out two wine glasses from the bar, took out a bottle of top whiskey, blinked, and asked, "You really don't drink it, okay, I'll just drink it myself." ”
Stark's strange behavior made Loki feel a little uneasy, but he couldn't find the source of the uneasiness. Turning around and looking at the Cosmic Rubik's Cube that was still functioning normally, Loki said in a deep voice: "My people are coming soon, you are finished, what do you have to threaten me?" ”
"Avengers!" Stark's hand pouring the wine into the glass paused slightly, looked up at Loki, shrugged, and said, "That's what we call ourselves, it's a team, the strongest League of Legends on Earth." ”
Looking at Stark, who pretended to be calm, Loki sneered and said, "Yes, I've seen it. ”
"yes!" Stark knew what Loki was laughing at, and he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Thanks to you, it took us a little bit of time to figure this out." So let me count the heads for you, your brother, a very handsome god. ”
"Humph!" Loki sneered disdainfully, and turned to look out the wide floor-to-ceiling window, Thor didn't need to say, no one knew him better than he did.
Seeing Loki turn around, Stark quietly picked up two silver bracelet-like things from the bar and put them on his wrists before continuing: "There is a superhero, an immortal legend who lives up to his reputation; A big guy with a temper tantrum can kill someone; A mystical monk from the East. By the way, there's also a pair of elite killers, and you've each of them. ”
"That's exactly what I planned." Loki had a smug smile on his face, and since learning about the existence of the Helicarrier and the Avengers from Barton's mouth, Loki had realized that they must be the biggest obstacle to the success of his plan, so he did not hesitate to risk his life.
"It's a terrible plan." Stark walked out from behind the bar with the whiskey in his hand, and said with a sneer, "When they come, they will definitely settle accounts with you." ”
Stark's threat made Loki frown, but after glancing at the Cosmic Cube outside, Loki smiled slightly and said indifferently, "I have an army. ”
"We've got the Hulk!" Stark snorted coldly, standing in front of Loki without backing down.
"Oh!" Loki let out an exaggerated scream, then asked with wide eyes, "I thought you didn't trust that monster anymore?" ”
"You haven't figured out the situation yet." Stark shook his head slightly and said, "You will never have a chance to sit on the throne, and there is no one that will make you successful. Maybe your army will come, and we probably won't be able to defeat it, but it's all on your head. If we can't keep the earth, we will definitely come to you for revenge. ”
"If you turn against your friends, they won't have time to come to me." Loki stared at Stark with cold eyes, and stepped forward, the spiritual scepter in his hand had already poked Stark's chest, and the thick blue mist was about to move.
With a soft sound of "ding", Loki's eyes suddenly widened, looking at this scene in disbelief, he subconsciously urged the scepter of the mind again, and poked it fiercely at Stark's heart, but there was a soft sound of the same "ding": "It has never made a mistake." ”
"It's inevitable that you will play out of style." Stark smiled indifferently, as if the person who was almost controlled just now was not him, but in his heart he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his guess was indeed correct. Raising his head, Stark said with a slight sneer: "Okay, don't blame yourself so much, who hasn't ordered ...... yet"
Before Stark could finish speaking, Loki, who was a little inexplicably angry, grabbed him by the neck and said fiercely, "You will all kneel at my feet." ”
With that, Loki lifted Stark high and threw him out of the floor-to-ceiling window, slamming him to the ground.
"Activate, Jarvis!" Despite the danger, Stark remained calm, and as he gave his command, a one-meter-long red box flew out of the building's hideout, knocking Loki off guard and then chasing Stark.
The two silver bracelet sensors on Tony's wrist emitted a flickering red light, and the red box that followed it suddenly unfolded after receiving the signal, and with a force, it caught up with Stark, covering his body one by one, and between breaths, Mark VII was already in place.
