Chapter 9: The Evil God
Loki.
A young man with a tall nose bridge, tall figure, chic appearance, as if smeared with hairspray on the back of the head, with the smile on the corner of the mouth, can completely cause a fatal blow to middle-aged and elderly women.
He is the god of treachery and lies, the god of mischief and trickery, the shapeshifter, the Skywalker, the descendant of the Frost Giant, and the adopted son of Odin, the main god of the Aesir gods.
The evil god who emerged from Norse mythology was standing in an underground tunnel in New York City II, holding his scepter and contemplating.
About a year earlier, his titular older brother, Thor, had been reprimanded by Odin for his mistakes and relegated to the mortal realm, New Mexico, USA.
Loki, who has long been jealous of Thor, wants to take this opportunity and replace Thor as the first heir to the Norse main god.
Unfortunately, the conspiracy was revealed, and not only did Thor live well, but Odin, the father of the gods, revealed the truth that Loki was actually a descendant of the frost giants.
Loki, who has long regarded himself as the "future king of Asgard", has suffered a huge blow, is physically and mentally exhausted, and has been banished to the imaginary space.
A great being rescued him, giving him a scepter of infinite power, and teaching him ancient knowledge to give him a new mission.
The two sides reached an agreement.
The great being, whose name can't even be mentioned, will send an army of Zetarians (an alien species with far more technology and shape-shifting abilities than humans) under the command of Loki, so that he can invade the Earth and eventually reclaim the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.
Loki had no right to retreat, his ambitions were running high like flames, and there was no one behind him.
A few hours ago, he teleported himself from the imaginary space to the S.H.I.E.L.D. base through the induction of the cosmic Rubik's cube, and wreaked havoc on the base.
With the scepter from that being, Loki was able to repel Director Nick Fury and successfully brainwash a group of S.H.I.E.L.D., including Hawkeye and Dr. Servig, into working for him.
It has to be said that the employees of S.H.I.E.L.D. are indeed some of the most elite intelligence agents in the world, and in just a few hours, these people have been able to collect supplies through their network of contacts, reorganize their teams, and set up a temporary base in the underground tunnels of New York No. 2.
Dr. Servig, who majored in astrophysics at university, is standing in the isolated plastic tarpaulin laboratory, looking at the cosmic cube with a confused expression.
The light blue cube crystal just lay peacefully in the swirling inner groove of the instrument, and the occasional fleeting streamer was even more dizzying.
Just by staring at the Rubik's Cube of the universe, you can faintly hear a muffled voice whispering in your ears, telling people about the ancient knowledge that has been buried in history.
"No, it's not just knowledge, it's ..... truth"
Dr. Servig muttered to himself, looked up sharply, and said to Loki, who was quietly approaching, "To truly harness the infinite energy of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, we need metal iridium, at least a ton of iridium. ”
Iridium, atomic sequence 77, atomic weight 192.22, there are two isotopes of iridium in nature, namely iridium 191 and iridium 193, in addition to more than 30 synthetic radioisotopes, the mass of which varies from 164 to 199.
Loki is an evil god, not an idiot, and while he doesn't know what iridium is, he knows how to use it well.
He turned his gaze to Hawkeye, and the superhero, whose mind had been twisted by the scepter, immediately pulled out a tablet-like personal information terminal and retrieved information about Iridium through the terminal.
"Iridium is extremely low in the Earth's crust, but it is very versatile.
Iridium is used in aircraft engines, underwater pipes, solid-state lasers, Y-ray photography, Y-ray radiotherapy, and X-ray telescope surface coatings.
At the same time, because the content of iridium on the earth's surface is extremely low, the total annual demand and output are only about 10 tons, and the production sources are too scattered, and it is difficult to gather them for a while. ”
Hawkeye said honestly, "There's a place called Gakuen City that might have the iridium metal Dr. Servig wanted, but it's too dangerous to recommend ......"
"Dangerous?"
Loki grinned, he picked up his scepter and tapped it on the ground, "I am the god of lies and cunning, the king of Asgard, a planet of ignorance, what danger is there for me?"
Aside from my well-limbed, simple-minded blonde orangutan-like brother, what else on this planet should I watch out for? ”
The god's chin lifted proudly, and he felt the endless power pouring from the scepter, a hint of obsessive pride flashing across his face.
However, his boasting didn't get much response, and the S.H.I.E.L.D. employees in the underground tunnels looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Loki was keenly aware of the awkwardness of the atmosphere, he narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Hawkeye and said, "Why, don't you agree with me?" ”
“....”
Hawkeye, who had always been taciturn, looked even more shriveled at this time, and he opened his mouth and said bluntly: "God, this planet is not as harmless as you think,
There are individual beings that possess such destructive power that even the most advanced strategic-level weapons can be matched. ”
"And what's going on?"
Loki frowned, according to the Asgardian god's understanding, although the human race is no longer the mountaintop cavemen who hold wooden sticks and scream, but at most, a group of savage and ignorant primitives.
Asgard, the land of Norse gods, has developed terrifying creations thousands of years ago.
This includes, but is not limited to, the Rainbow Bridge, which can teleport individual gods to any location in the Nine Kingdoms;
Thor's hammer, which forges the remains of stars into one;
a shield that envelops all of Asgard; anti-gravity spacecraft; high-energy particle beam weapons that can be used in actual combat;
Compared with these black technologies, earth technology does seem a little rough.
As if seeing the disdain on Loki's face, Hawkeye didn't explain, picked up the panel-like personal information terminal, clicked on a video file, and showed it to Loki.
The video file shows the mutant apocalypse wreaking havoc on New York.
Twisted and terrifyingly shaped strains of creatures, an arrow pierced through the aircraftcarrier's violent light arrows, lifting up the vines of the Tower of Babel throughout the city.
“..... Sizzle"
The stunned Loki gasped, this evil god who had not descended on Earth for a long time knew the horror of the earthlings for the first time, "Are you sure this is not some 'movie special effects'?" ”
Hawkeye looked at Loki intently, shook his head, and clicked on another video file.
In the video, it shows a yellow-skinned Chinese young man, downplaying the scene of the apocalypse - the scene was not filmed by any surveillance equipment, but the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters used computer effects to replicate the situation according to the Avengers' description.
In the picture, the magnificent scene of Li Ang summoning the Heavens and Stars Dou Great Array and flattening the strain Babel made Loki completely shut his mouth, and it took a long time before he said dryly: "Hmm..... He's an alien? ”
"It's not." Hawkeye replied, and the atmosphere in the underground tunnel became even more awkward.
"He's a god from ancient mythology?" Loki raised his eyebrows and clenched his scepter, his knuckles turning white.
"It's not." Hawkeye scratched his chin, and the hard cyan stubble made a brushing sound.
"And who is he?" Loki, the god who reads "Celestial Noble" and writes "The Old Hat Who Has Never Seen the World", asked directly.
"Ang Lee, stowaway, scientist, the youngest billionaire in history, the founder of the meme syndicate, the top ten young people in America in 2018, the most valuable golden beetle son-in-law, and the honorary mayor of School City."
Hawkeye replied honestly: "The large amount of metal iridium you are looking for is placed in the school city research base under his name. ”
