In New Mexico, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s classified research center.

It was already dark, and the propeller of a helicopter shattered the silence of the night sky. The heavily armed guards at the research center were all in good spirits.

With the sound of the propellers slowing down, the helicopter landed steadily on the tarmac outside the research center.

The side door of the helicopter was pulled open, and a woman in a slim leather suit stepped out. Behind him, a man with his left eye covered also quickly walked out.

And at the gate of the research center, Phil. Coulson also hurried to greet the two of them.

The people who came were none other than S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. veteran agent Maria. Hill.

Fury walked up to Coulson quickly and asked directly, "How is the situation of the Cosmic Cube now?" ”

Coulson's face was also a little grim, and he said: "The situation is uncertain now, and as for the consequences, almost no one among the researchers dares to conclude. ”

Fury frowned slightly, obviously the current situation is not optimistic. This cosmic cube is a mysterious object discovered during World War II and confirmed to be a mysterious substance in outer space. It has been stable for decades, but recently it was discovered that there were huge internal fluctuations in the cosmic cube.

"Let's go and see."

Fury, Maria, and Coulson enter the research center and take the elevator to the basement of the laboratory.

Coulson continued to report relevant information to Fury.

"Eric. Dr. Shavig, along with other researchers, is urgently stabilizing the cube. But he said that there was a strange energy in the cube. ”

Fury nodded, didn't continue to listen, and then asked, "By the way, has the retreat plan been executed?" ”

"It has been ordered, and the people at the research center are doing their best to evacuate. But Dr. Shavig, they'll have to wait a little longer. After all, it is very urgent to stabilize the Cosmic Cube. Coulson hurriedly added.

Fury looked at Coulson and said solemnly, "The rest of the personnel will evacuate faster." You get busy first. ”

Now that the situation is very critical, Fury also walks quickly towards the equipment that studies the cosmic cube. This cosmic cube contains infinite mysteries, and if there is a mutation, no one can guarantee that it will not be a disaster.

Maria. Hill said to Fury, "Fury, even if we transfer, I'm afraid we won't be able to solve the problem at the root." I don't think it's useful to control the energy of the cosmic cube wherever we hide. ”

Fury paused, turned to look at Maria, and said, "I need you to find a way to secure the transfer of the second phase prototype now. Now the situation is urgent, and as long as it is not the end of the world, our days will go on. Load all the relevant equipment and transport it away. ”

Seeing that Fury was very decisive, Maria nodded and said, "Okay, sir. "Then I went to direct S.H.I.E.L.D. guards and staff to go to other locations to dispose of important equipment.

Fury continued to walk briskly for a while, and finally came to the large laboratory where the cosmic cube was being tested.

As soon as he saw Dr. Shavig, Fury immediately asked, "Doctor, how is it?" ”

"It's a terrible situation right now," a somewhat blessed Dr. Shavig told Fury about the current state of the Cosmic Cube.

Fury also frowned after hearing this, and the cosmic cube was very unstable at the moment. Moreover, Dr. Shavig and his staff have exhausted all previous means to stabilize the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.

"Also, this cosmic cube is constantly generating radiation and interference. However, the harm to the human body is very small. ”

Fury looked at the blue energy body in the middle of a turbine-like device, the Cosmic Cube. The Cosmic Cube is as if it were an energy body held in place by a blue beam of light. There are a lot of strange textures in there. But at the moment, it is clearly fluctuating. This fluctuation gets stronger every certain amount of time.

"By the way, what about Agent Patton?" Fury asked Dr. Shavig.

When Shavig heard the name, his eyes suddenly became a little sadistic: "Oh, are you asking the Eagle Boy?" He's been watching here. Squatting high like an eagle. ”

On a stand more than ten meters high in this large laboratory. Agent "Hawkeye" Barton is observing the changes in the Cosmic Cube in the device below. With his transformed vision far beyond ordinary people, even from such a distance, his observation of the Rubik's Cube in the universe is comparable to that of a staff member within three meters.

I also heard Fury's shouts of "Agent Patton". Hawkeye slid down with a chain.

Hawkeye Button came to Fury's side, and the two looked at Cube and began to talk.

"I gave you the task of monitoring the Cosmic Cube, are you sure you don't find anything out of the ordinary? Or to put it another way, what external force kicks it in? Fury asked.

Barton stared at the Cosmic Cube with a pair of blue eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate everything, and said, "There is no one, I can confirm it." Including Dr. Shavig. I'm afraid it's not on our side. ”

Hearing this, Fury looked at Barton and said suspiciously, "Our side?" ”

"That's what I guessed, anyway. Think about it, based on decades of science, this cosmic cube is connected to the other side of the universe. ”

As soon as Barton finished speaking, he saw the cosmic cube in the center of the turbine device tremble violently, as if some energy was about to rush out.

Fury and Barton also changed their faces and looked at each other.

"Something seems to come out, maybe you're right."

A strong energy continued to rush through the cosmic cube, and strange sounds resounded throughout the laboratory.

The cosmic cube energy in the turbine instrument is shot towards a platform in a straight line. The strangely shaped platform was originally made to open the door to possible spaces.

The blue energy resembling the turbulence of light formed an almost circular area that covered the entire platform. This was followed by a burst of more intense flashing. The Cosmic Cube stops firing blue beams of energy.

The blue energy on the platform also disappeared, and only a figure remained.

Everyone in the lab looked at each other, and a senior guard led seven or eight S.H.I.E.L.D. guards with automatic weapons as they walked toward the platform.

All the guards held their breath as they watched the figure on the platform. The figure slowly stood up, looking at everything around him with an emaciated and cold face.

Fury's brow was furrowed, but he saw the object in the figure's hand.

"Sir, please put your spear down. Cooperate with it. Fury said to the apparently human-looking comer.

The figure looked at his spear and smiled evilly. Then a cold voice rang out: "No one can command God!" ”

It was none other than Loki, and the scepter energy in his hand shot out, destroying a device next to Fury.

The guns in the guards' hands also shot at Loki at speed.

Loki leapt to his feet, the scepter in his hand stabbing sharply into one of the guards. The guard immediately fell to the ground in shock.

Loki's figure quickly stabbed the two closest guards. The scepter in his hand was so sharp that it could be used as a hand-to-hand weapon.

The rest of the guards hurriedly backed away and fired at Loki in succession. But in the darkness, they suddenly realized that there was a figure like an opponent beside them.

The guards hurried to the side in horror, but the bullets passed through the phantoms of Loki's creation as if through the air.

Before they could recover from their astonishment, a blue beam of energy struck them.

In three moves, the eight heavily armed guards present were all killed by Loki. Some S.H.I.E.L.D. agents drew their hands and hurriedly shot, but Loki's scepter's blue energy beam killed them with precision.

Hawkeye also pulled out his gun and shot violently, but was knocked to the ground by Loki's close-range blow. In the face of the second prince of Asgard, an evil god, no matter how strong the training is, the human being is also very lackluster.

Hawkeye hurriedly rolled on the ground and barely stood up. The scepter in Loki's hand rushed directly to his heart.

But Loki didn't kill him.

Looking at Hawkeye, Loki's cold face suddenly flashed with excitement.

"You look like you can." Loki said with a sneer, and a blue beam of light spread from the Mind Gem on Loki's scepter towards Hawkeye Barton's body.

Barton looked pained for a moment, his eyes in a terrifying black chaos, then a strange blue light, and then returned to normal.

At this moment, Barton's eyes were on Loki. Filled with a quirky loyalty.

Looking at Barton, Loki turned and walked over to the others. In the surprise attack just now, it was natural that there were many casualties, but there were still some people who were enough to serve Loki.

"Now, I think I need more than one helper." Loki used the same method to control several more S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who looked stronger and more combat-ready.

Fury was prostrate, watching all this, and suddenly had an idea. The cosmic cube from the instrument was removed and placed in a portable metal case.

Just as Fury was about to take the opportunity to leave, a cold and flat voice came: "Put things down." ”

Suddenly, Fury felt an extremely cold gaze staring at him from behind.

Fury turned around and saw the green-robed attacker looking at him.

"You just want this thing, not so much." Fury said to Loki.

Loki's tone was cold and flat: "That's what I'm here for, across unimaginable distances. I'm Loki and I'm from Asgard. I have a great mission that you simply cannot comprehend. ”
