Thor's Arrival (A 5,000-character chapter)

After making arrangements for Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno, Charlotte went to the Summoning Realm and held a meeting with the Sound Ninja, Kirigakure, and Sunagakure at the other three bases, where she also performed a card fusion enhancement on Kimimaro.

After the fusion, Kimimaro's strength reached the Kage Level, which can be described as extremely powerful. At the same time, Charlotte revealed the Golden Tsubasa Tool and gave it to the Otogakure as a form of compensation, thus returning him to the ranks of the five ninjas.

······

On the other side.

Inside the royal palace of Asgard.

At this moment, Heimdall reported, "Your God King, I have seen Second Prince Loki on Earth."

Odin was taken aback by Heimdall's words, as he had always believed that his adopted son Loki was dead.

"Are you sure you're not seeing things?"

Heimdall nodded, then said, "I wasn't mistaken. He seized the Tesseract on Earth and launched an attack on one of the factions. It doesn't look like a good thing."

After a few seconds of contemplation, Odin said, "Watch Loki and see what he's going to do."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Also, notify Thor to come over here."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Soon, Thor brought Mjolnir to the main hall and asked, "Father, has there been another rebellion?"

Seeing Thor about to quell the rebellion, Odin frowned slightly and then said, "I've discovered Loki's trail."

Thor was stunned for a moment, then immediately exclaimed excitedly, "My God, Loki isn't dead! That's wonderful!"

"Father, where is Loki? I'm going to bring him back."

He's on Earth.

"Earth?"

"Where is Charlotte Doyle?"

"Yes, Thor has given you a mission: bring Loki and cosmic magic back."

"The Tesseract?"

Odin then told Thor about Loki's time on Earth, as well as the Tesseract he possessed, and finally gave Thor a task: to bring Loki and the Tesseract back to Asgard.

Thor, having received the order, was somewhat pleased. He hadn't expected his brother to be alive, and he was genuinely looking forward to this trip to Earth.

On the other side.

On a Quinjet.

Looking at Bruce Banner's file, Steve Rogers asked curiously, "Does Dr. Banner want to replicate the Super Soldier Serum in my body?"

Coulson walked over, grabbed a handle on the plane, and said, "Many people have tried this idea."

"You're the first superhero, "Banner believes Gamma Rays may be the key to unlocking Dr. Erskine's original formula.

Steve Rogers, watching the video on his computer, sighed, "It's a pity the result wasn't very good, was it?"

"Yes, but when he's in a good mood, he's practically Stephen Hawking."

Stephen Rogers looked at Coulson in surprise, and Coulson smiled and said, "He's an extremely intelligent man."

"Furthermore, I must say that I am honored to officially meet you."

"I've seen you before, back when you were still frozen in ice, and I even went to see you while you were asleep."

Stephen Rogers glanced at Coulson, said nothing, and stood up to look at the scenery outside the plane.

Coulson, slightly excited, said, "Honestly, it's a great honor for you to join us."

I hope I can handle it.

Coulson was even more confident than Stephen Rogers: "You definitely can, there's no doubt about it."

"We made some modifications to your Uniform, and I also offered some design suggestions."

Stephen Rogers asked in surprise, "My Uniform?"

"Won't the star and stripe design be too outdated?"

Phil Coulson replied, "Given the current situation and the impending fierce battle, people may need a bit of the spirit of the past."

Steve Rogers paused for a moment without saying anything.

······

On the other side.

In a secret underground base, many people controlled by Loki began preparing for his invasion of Earth, including manufacturing equipment to use the Tesseract and transporting materials.

At this moment, Loki was meditating, holding his Scepter. He wanted to communicate with the leader of the Chitauri Army far away and inform them about the strengthening of Earth's power.

As the Mind Stone on the Scepter emitted light, Loki's consciousness was transported to a desolate planet.

At this moment, the leader of the Chitauri Army, upon seeing Loki's figure, spoke:

"Loki, the Chitauri getting increasingly impatient."

Loki spoke up, "Tell them to keep their minds to themselves. I've discovered some special people on Earth."

Loki used magic to reflect the scene he was seeing.

Loki materialized scenes from the Hulk's battles, Blazing Hero's flames, the battle between Kimimaro the Sound Ninja and Hidan of the Akatsuki, the battle between Deidara and Kirigakure of the Mei Terumi, and the battles of some ninjas from Charlotte Agency.

"These are the guardians of Earth. Do you still think those people on Earth are just insects you can crush at will?"

The Chitauri leader watched these scenes in silence for a few seconds before speaking, "It seems I underestimated them before, but these enemies are nothing to worry about in front of the Chitauri Leviathan."

Loki stared at his opponent, his expression serious, and said, "Is your army truly as invincible as you claim?"

"If your carelessness leads to the defeat in the war, you'll probably have a hard time in that person's eyes."

The Chitauri leader fell silent again, then spoke after a few seconds, "I will send my most elite warriors and behemoth legions. As long as your portal is large enough, I will send my flagship as well."

"With Earth's technology and these people, I believe they couldn't even breach the spaceship's protective shield."

Although he saw those videos and his awareness of Earth increased, it was only to a certain extent; he did not believe that these people had the ability to penetrate spaceships.

Since they couldn't break through the spaceship's protective shield, these people weren't considered much of an enemy in his eyes.

Loki said calmly, "I hope so..."

The Chitauri leader said, "You could also take the Tesseract back to the Black Order first, present Tesseract directly to the Lord, and then lead your army directly to Earth."

"It may be slower this way, but the Earth will still be yours."

Loki refused, saying, "The Tesseract is in my hands, but until the portal is opened, your army remains under my command, and until Earth belongs to me, everything you say is just empty talk."

The Chitauri leader immediately roared, "Asgardians, go ahead and start a war! But if you fail, if you cause the Tesseract to fall into enemy hands, no matter where you hide, we will find you!"

Do you think you understand pain very well?

"Compared to him, pain is as sweet as honey."

The next second, their communication ended, Loki's consciousness returned to Earth, and the scene before him returned to normal.

······

On the other side.

Phil Coulson and Steve Rogers arrived at an aircraft carrier in the Atlantic Ocean in their Quinjet. After the plane came to a stop, the two men stepped out from the underside of the cockpit.

At this moment, Natasha Romanoff went to greet him and introduced him to Coulson:

"Agent Romanoff, this is Captain Rogers."

"Miss."

"Hello."

After Natasha and Rogers greeted each other, Natasha said to Coulson:

"They're looking for you on the bridge; they've started facial recognition tracking."

Coulson nodded and said to the Captain, "See you later."

Natasha led Rogers into the cabin, saying as they went:

"The discovery of you in the ice caused quite a stir."

"I thought Coulson would faint from happiness."

"Did he ask you to sign his Captain America collectible card?"

Rogers asked in confusion, "Collector's cards?"

"A rare, out-of-print item, he's very proud of it."

At that moment, Steve Rogers saw Bruce Banner getting off a small plane and immediately greeted him:

"Dr. Banner."

Banner looked at Captain America in front of him, extended his hand to shake hands, and said, "Hello."

I heard you were coming.

Steve Rogers looked at Banner and said, "I heard you can find the Tesseract."

Dr. Banner glanced around and then said, "Haven't you heard anything else?"

Steve Roger replied, "I only care about what I'm interested in."

Dr. Banner glanced at the other person, nodded, and then pointed to the aircraft and other equipment on the aircraft carrier, saying, "You must find all of this very strange, right?"

Steve Rogers glanced around and then said, "To be honest, this feels rather familiar."

Seeing the two still chatting, Natasha said, "Gentlemen, you should go inside quickly."

"It'll be hard to breathe here soon."

As soon as Natasha finished speaking, a voice came over the loudspeaker on deck. "Aircrew, clear the deck."

Looking at the changes around him, Steve Rogers walked forward and asked curiously, "Is that a submarine?"

Banner chuckled as he walked, "Really?"

"Do they want me to stay in a sealed, pressurized metal tank underwater?"

As they spoke, the two reached the edge of the deck and looked down.

Suddenly, two huge turbines rose from each side of the aircraft carrier, and a powerful gust of wind blew towards the two men.

Seeing all this, Banner said, "It looks like it's going to be even worse than that."

The aircraft carrier then took off from the water, and Steve Rogers and Bruce Banner followed Natasha into the interior of the Helicarrier.

At this moment, a large number of staff inside are controlling this Helicarrier and adjusting various data.

At this moment Nick Fury, standing in the middle, spoke up, "Let's disappear. Activate the reflectors."

The Helicarrier, which had quickly taken off, disappeared from sight. At that moment, Nick Fury turned to the two men and said, "Gentlemen."

Steve Rogers looked at everything in front of him, walked up to Nick Fury, took out ten US Dollar from his pocket and handed it to him.

Clearly, the idea of Helicarrier surprised him, and he conceded defeat in yesterday's bet.

Steve Rogers began his tour of the Helicarrier, and Nick Fury approached Dr. Banner, extending his hand and saying, "It's a pleasure to have you here, Doctor."

Dr. Banner shook hands and said, "Thank you for your kind invitation."

How long am I supposed to stay here?

Nick Fury readily agreed, saying, "We'll let you go as soon as we get the Tesseract."

Banner nodded, then asked, "How's it going?"

Nick Fury gestured to Coulson, who had arrived earlier. Seeing the Director's signal, Coulson immediately replied, "We've scanned every wirelessly readable camera worldwide—cell phones, laptops—anything the Nexus to a satellite is our surveillance."

Natasha glanced at the computer searching for Barton's image and said, "Searching like this isn't fast enough. Have you considered other methods?"

Dr. Banner was standing nearby, spoke up, "You need to narrow down the search."

Then, looking at Nick Fury, he asked, "How many Spectrometer can you access?"

Nick Fury, arms crossed, replied, "As many as you want."

"Contact every Laboratory you can find and have them put their Spectrometer on the roof and calibrate them to search for Gamma Rays."

"I will simulate a tracking algorithm based on clustering identification, which will at least eliminate several areas and speed up the search."

"Can you find me a job?"

Seeing that Dr. Banner immediately offered advice, Nick Fury nodded secretly.

"Agent Romanoff, can you take Dr. Banner to his Laboratory?"

Natasha walked over and said to Banner, "Come with me, everything you need is there to your satisfaction, Doctor."

While S.H.I.E.L.D.. was conducting their search, Loki wasn't idle either, carrying out his own preparations. Barton planned to launch a feint attack on S.H.I.E.L.D.. to obtain the Iridium they needed.

······

Coulson approached Steve Rogers like a devoted fan, hoping the latter would sign his collection of cards.

"If it's too much trouble, then forget it."

Steve Rogers glanced at Coulson and replied, "No problem, no trouble at all."

He was very familiar with autographs and such back then; he started out promoting government bonds through performances, so he was very familiar with these things.

"That set is a rare find; it took me several years to collect it all, and it's still in very good condition."

"The edges are a bit yellowed, but..."

At that moment, Sitwell, who was in charge of the search for extraterrestrials, suddenly turned to Coulson and shouted, "Found! Facial features 67% match!"

"Wait, the cross-match shows a 79% match."

Coulson quickly walked over and asked, "Where?"

Sitwell quickly retrieved the address of the surveillance camera and said, "28 Königstraße, Stuttgart, Germany."

He didn't intend to hide.

At this moment, Nick Fury looked at Steve and said, "Captain, it's your turn to go in."

Steve Rogers nodded to Nick Fury, then went to the Armory to put on his Suit, before boarding Quinjet with Natasha and heading towards the target location.

······

On the other side.

Loki entered the banquet, killed the doctor who possessed Iridium, used a device to obtain the doctor's pupils, and together with Barton, obtained the Iridium.

Loki was completely unconcerned about the commotion and was even somewhat excited. He removed his magically transformed Earth clothes, revealing his divine armor as the Second Prince Loki Asgard, and used it to stop the guests from entering the room.

"Kneel down."

Loki created clones to surround the crowd, then slammed his Scepter on the ground and shouted, "Kneel down!"

With a roar from Loki, the guests in the room trembled and knelt down.

"That's right."

"Isn't this simpler?"

"Isn't this just your nature?"

"You crave conquest, and I, Loki, Prince of Asgard, will conquer you and rule you today."

Just as Loki was giving his long speech, preparing to kill a rebel, a laser beam shot out from his Scepter.

Suddenly, Captain America descended from the sky, deflecting the laser beam with his shield and knocking Loki to the ground.

Steve Rogers began, "The last time I was in Germany, I also met someone who thought he was superior, and we had some disagreements."

Loki stood up; the attack had only left him somewhat disheveled, but he hadn't been seriously injured.

"United States soldiers, outdated people."

Steve Rogers began, "I'm not the one who's about to be finished."

At this moment, the Quinjet hovered to the side, a machine gun extending from under its belly, aimed at Loki.

Natasha shouted, "Put down your weapons and surrender immediately!"

Loki immediately attacked the plane, but Natasha skillfully dodged the incoming Magic Missile.

Seeing Loki resist, Steve Rogers immediately attacked with his shield. However, even with the Captain's enhanced power, he was no match for Loki. His attacks were weakened by Loki's Artifact set and did little damage. Instead, Loki knocked him to the ground with his Scepter.

At this point, Loki's strength was only slightly less than when he wielded Gungnir.

Natasha, aboard the fighter jet, looked down at the numerous Loki clones below, unable to identify which one was Loki, and dared not launch a direct attack.

At that moment, Tony Stark hacked into the Quinjet's system and said, "Natasha, have you missed me?"

Hearing Tony's voice, Natasha smiled; reinforcements had arrived.

At this moment, Tony, wearing Iron Man Armor, descended from the sky and fired two Repulsor Blast, sending Loki, who was suppressing Captain, flying away with a classic superhero landing move.

He then revealed all his weapons and aimed them at his opponent.

"Make your move, Bambi!"

Loki then offered no resistance and deliberately allowed himself to be captured.

Soon, Tony and the others, with Loki in tow, returned to the Helicarrier in the Quinjet.

Looking at the silent Loki on the plane, Captain said to Tony, "I have a bad feeling."

Tony retorted sharply, "What?"

"Because rock stars give up so easily?"

The Captain replied, "I don't think it's that easy; this guy is very strong."

Tony continued his sarcastic remark, "Regardless, you're still quite agile for your age."

"What kind of exercise do you do, Pilates?"

"What?"

"It's similar to aerobics."

"You may have missed a lot, after all, you've been making Captain America popsicles for so long."

Steve Rogers explained, "No, I received Physical Enhancement Serum injection after waking up, which greatly boosted my strength, but this guy can still suppress me."

Upon hearing about the Physical Enhancement Serum, Tony looked Captain America up and down before saying, "That's a real waste. I didn't see any improvement in you."

"It seems Nick Fury has a lot of money; he actually managed to get this for someone like you who's retired. That's really something."

Steve Rogers was taken aback by Tony's sharp tongue and was momentarily speechless.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Fury didn't tell me he contacted you too."

Tony nodded and said, "Yes, Fury still has a lot to tell you."

Suddenly, lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky. Natasha asked in surprise, "Where did this Flash come from?"

Steve Rogers noticed Loki's strange expression and asked, "What's wrong? Are you even afraid of Flash?"

Loki glanced at Captain America and replied, "I don't like guys who follow Flash."

The plane suddenly jolted as Thor arrived and jumped onto the plane.

Seeing that something was wrong, Tony immediately put on his helmet, and Steve Rogers picked up his shield.

Tony opened the hatch directly, and seeing his actions Steve shouted, "What are you doing?"

As the belly hatch opened, Thor jumped inside.

Just as Tony was about to attack, Thor Mjolnir Thor, then grabbed Loki and flew away, ignoring everyone Loki present.
