Along with this conspiracy, among the men Nick Fury assembled, Thor and Banner temporarily lost contact, Chen Haoran fainted while trying to stop the Hulk, and the entire team seemed to fall apart.
At this moment, Nick Fury summoned Tony Stark and Steve Rogers. He held a stack of bloodstained cards in his hand, threw them onto the table, and then said:
"Looks like he won't have another chance to ask you for an autograph."
Rogers looked at the cards on the table, picked up one of them—a portrait of himself, now covered in blood.
Nick Fury continued, "We've completely lost our bearings, lost communication, and lost the location of the Tesseract."
"Banner and Thor are also missing, and Chen Haoran is still unconscious. I'm at my wit's end."
"I've also lost my most capable subordinate; perhaps this is what I deserve."
"Yes, we do want to use the Tesseract to create weapons, but I don't have all my hopes on that."
"Because I have an even bolder plan, I have an idea, and Stark knows about it."
"It's called the Avengers Initiative."
"It's about bringing together exceptionally capable individuals to see if their team is stronger."
"Let's see if they can fight side by side in times of crisis and win a war we can't win."
"Phil Coulson believed in this idea until his death; he believed in heroes."
When Nick Fury said this, Tony couldn't sit still any longer and got up to leave.
Watching Tony leave, Nick Fury said again, "Okay, that idea is outdated."
······
On the other side, Natasha was comforting Barton, while Yakushi Kabuto was treating Chen Haoran.
Because of Nick Fury's words, Tony Stark and Steve Rogers reconciled and decided to fight side by side.
Tony, on the other hand, thought of Loki's idea: the target was likely his Stark Tower, because Loki's personality made that the most likely location.
As Stark had suspected, Stark Tower had already been taken over by Loki, and the Doctor was setting up the device to activate the Tesseract on the rooftop.
Rogers then entered Natasha's room, Gate of Opening, and said, "Gather our crew, we're about to set off."
Natasha asked, "Where to?"
"Let's call Yakushi Kabuto, Chen Haoran, and Brock Rumlow first. We'll discuss the details on the way."
"Does any of you know how to fly a plane?"
At that moment, Barton opened the bathroom door, came out, and said, "I will."
Upon seeing Barton, Rogers looked at Natasha, who nodded slightly.
Rogers asked, "Do you have a combat suit?"
Barton nodded and said, "Yes."
"Then put it on."
After speaking, Rogers turned and left, heading towards Yakushi Kabuto's room. He pushed open the Room Door, saw three people sitting inside, and immediately said:
"Chen, can you still fight?"
Chen Haoran sat up in bed and said, "No problem, we're ready to fight anytime."
"Yakushi Kabuto, Chen Haoran, Brock Rumlow, get your combat suits on, we're about to set off."
Brock Rumlow asked, "Where to?"
"We'll talk about it on the way."
And so, Tony repaired his armor, while Captain America, along with Barton, Natasha, Brock Rumlow, Yakushi Kabuto, and Chen Haoran, boarded a Quinjet.
Nick Fury was standing alone by the window of the aircraft carrier, looking at the Captain America collectible cards in his hand.
Hill walked over and said, "Sir, these cards were in Coulson's closet, not his jacket pocket."
Nick Fury didn't look up, but said in a low voice, "They need some motivation."
Suddenly, an announcement came over the loudspeaker. "Someone has taken off without permission from Helipad number 6."
Nick Fury looked down and saw Tony Stark and a Quinjet.
Watching the two groups of people take off, Nick Fury remarked, "Looks like they've found Loki."
"Do everything you can to restore communications; I need to monitor the entire situation."
Hill replied, "Yes, sir."
······
New York.
Charlotte Doyle had already led the ninjas from the base to a café located below Stark Tower.
Charlotte and numerous ninjas were seated throughout the café. Tsunade sat opposite Charlotte Doyle, took a sip of her coffee, and asked, "How long are we going to have to wait here?"
Charlotte glanced up at Stark Tower outside the window, then replied, "Soon."
At this moment, Tony was flying towards his building and instructed Jarvis:
"Jarvis, call Charlotte Doyle for me."
Yes, sir.
Unlike Nick Fury, Tony didn't decide to take precautions for the battle after leaving the Helicarrier, which involved contacting Charlotte.
Charlotte was chatting with Tsunade when the phone suddenly rang.
Charlotte took out her phone and saw that the Electro was Tony Stark, so she answered the call immediately.
"Hi, Tony."
"Charlotte, there's something urgent I need to tell you."
"Loki of Asgard is going to lead the Chitauri Army to conquer Earth."
"I'm going to stop him from opening the portal now, but I might not succeed."
"If we fail, I hope you can bring an army of ninjas and Mage to eliminate the enemy."
"The address is near Stark Industries."
Tony flew while rapidly conveying the information he wanted to express.
Hearing Tony's words, Charlotte knew her chance had come.
"I understand, Tony. Go ahead and do it."
"However, I should let you know in advance that Tesseract. has lost the S.H.I.E.L.D., so this thing is my trophy."
Upon hearing that Charlotte was also interested in the Tesseract, Tony frowned slightly, then said, "We'll see how things go. I can't promise you anything."
The Stark Industries building was now in Tony's view. He then said, "I'm busy now, you need to come and help me quickly."
Tony flew to the top of Stark Tower, and Jarvis's voice rang out. "Sir, I've already turned off the power to the building, but that thing started up automatically."
Tony looked down at the doctor and said, "Turn it off, Dr. Selvig."
Dr. Selvig shouted at Tony, "Too late!"
"It won't stop."
"It has something to show us: a new universe."
Seeing that Dr. Selvig was not convincing, Tony aimed his Repulsor Blast at the machine on the rooftop, charged them up, and fired them.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, an energy shield appeared, deflecting Tony's Repulsor Blast shot back.
Tony was blasted away, while Dr. Selvig was knocked unconscious.
The enormous roar caused the ninjas in the coffee shop downstairs to look out, where they saw a blue light appear on the top of Stark Tower.
Tony tumbled through the air before regaining his balance with the Thruster. Jarvis scanned him and provided the answer:
"That barrier is pure energy; it cannot be broken."
"I can tell."
Tony then looked down and saw Loki standing on the building's terrace, calmly looking at him.
"Replace Plan B."
"Sir, the Mark 7 is not yet usable." (Because of Charlotte's appearance, the silver version of the Mark II did not appear; the Mark 2 went directly to the Mark 3. And due to his trip to the Magic World, Tony researched the Mark VI as a fire support model.)
"Then we won't use wheels, we don't have time."
After speaking, Tony landed, and then the instruments on the platform rose up to remove his armor.
Loki and Tony exchanged a glance, and then both walked into the room.
However, due to the distance, Tony entered the room a little faster than Loki.
Loki looked at Tony and said, "You've come to beg for my forgiveness, haven't you?"
Tony hesitated for a moment, then said, "Actually, I'm here to threaten you."
Loki laughed, "Then you shouldn't have taken off your armor."
"Yes."
"Your clothes are a bit worn, and you're carrying a shiny golden Staff of Destiny."
As the two were talking, Tony walked over to the liquor cabinet and asked, "Would you like a drink?"
Loki laughed, "Buying time won't help."
"No, no, no, it's an invitation."
Are you really not going to drink it?
As they spoke, Tony grabbed a bottle of whiskey and said with a smile, "I'll have a glass."
Loki looked out the window at the sky and said, "The Chitauri Army is coming, and no one can stop it."
What do I have to be afraid of?
"The Avengers."
Seeing Loki's puzzled expression, Tony continued, "It's a name we came up with ourselves; it's just a team."
"The most powerful hero duo on Earth."
Loki scoffed, "Yes, I've seen it."
Tony poured himself a glass of whiskey and said, "Okay, I admit it takes time to get to know each other."
"But let's list them anyway. We have your demigod brother and four super soldiers." (Brock Rumlow, Barton, Natasha, Steve Rogers)
As he spoke, Tony put the Mark VII control bracelet that was on the bar counter on his arm.
"A legendary ninja, a guy with a serious anger management problem."
"A Superhuman can control fire."
"And you, good heavens, you've pissed them all off."
As Loki walked towards Tony, he said with a smile, "This is my plan."
"That's not wise. When they get here, they'll make you pay."
As they spoke, Tony came out from behind the bar, holding a wine glass.
Loki laughed. "Just these people?"
"Did you forget someone, like Charlotte Doyle?"
"He'd better hide, or when he comes, my army will tear him and all of you to shreds."
Tony then spoke up, "But you've got one thing wrong, there won't be a throne."
"You can never become king. You may have an army coming, and we may not be able to stop them, but everything will be your fault. If we can't protect the Earth, you can expect our revenge."
"Besides, I don't believe you can really defeat us. I've faced enemies far more terrifying than you."
After saying that, Tony downed the whiskey in his glass in one gulp.
Loki approached Tony step by step and said, "If they're busy dealing with you, they won't have time to fight me."
As he spoke, Loki picked up his Scepter and tapped it on Tony's chest.
However, only a metallic clanging sound was heard, and there was no further movement. Loki, not believing it, tried again, but still couldn't control Tony Stark, which puzzled him.
It was actually the Arc Reactor in Tony's chest, made from isotopes of the Space Stone, which made it immune to the Mind Stone's control.
Loki asked in surprise, "That used to work."
Tony breathed a sigh of relief, then scoffed, "Performance malfunctions are quite common; one in five men..."
Loki grabbed Tony by the neck and threw him away.
"Jarvis, it's ready, start it!"
Loki grabbed the fallen Tony and threw him off the building, saying, "You will all fall at my feet."
Tony, who had just crashed through the glass, was now in freefall from the high-rise building. He immediately stretched out his limbs to increase air resistance and make his descent as uniform as possible.
At this moment, the Mark VII was activated and chased after Tony. It quickly scanned the machinery on Tony's wrist, completed its suit just before Tony was about to land, and flew up.
Loki looked at Tony, who had just flown up, his eyes filled with displeasure.
Tony began, "Now you've angered another person, and his name is Tony Stark."
As he spoke, Tony fired Repulsor Blast at Loki's chest, knocking Loki down instantly.
The Repulsor Blast, which would be deadly to an ordinary person and capable of piercing steel plates, merely knocked Loki to the ground.
However, at that very moment, the Tesseract on the rooftop finally completed its preparations and emitted a dazzling blue light into the sky.
Tony looked up and saw a huge spatial portal appear above him.
"This scene seems somewhat familiar... Could it be another fight against Demon from Hell...?"
"Jarvis, contact Charlotte Doyle and ask where he is. We need him here."
In outer space, the moment they saw the spatial portal appear, the Chitauri Army rushed down, first with flying soldiers clearing the way, followed closely by a gigantic Chitauri Leviathan.
Tony's virtual control panel was filled with alarm sounds.
Tony muttered, "The army has really arrived."
He then ignored Loki and went straight to meet the army, intending to stop the enemies.
Then Tony's shoulder armor retracted, revealing rows of small missiles.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Small missiles flew out one after another, heading towards the Chitauri scouts above.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Nearly a hundred small missiles were launched, one of which took the life of a Chitauri soldier.
However, just after dealing with the minions, a huge Chitauri Leviathan flew out and rammed directly into Tony, sending Tony flying.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, a large number of Chitauri Soldier flew out from the spatial portal.
At that moment, Charlotte Doyle, hearing the roar outside, stepped out of the café, looked at the Chitauri Soldier descending from above, and turned to the ninjas behind her, saying, "Move out, proceed according to plan."
"Yes, Lord Charlotte."
Naruto Uzumaki ran out and shouted, "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
Naruto Uzumaki immediately created 200 Shadow Clone, then picked up a citizen from the street and ran outside.
At this moment, the Chitauri Soldier in the sky, standing on their Chitauri Chariot, launched an indiscriminate attack on the civilians below.
"Fire Style: Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Jutsu!"
Sasuke Uchiha joined in, and nine enormous fireballs flew toward the Chitauri Soldier in the sky.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A fireball instantly took the life of a Chitauri Soldier.
Minato Namikaze Kushina Uzumaki beside him, "Kushina, it seems our child is quite something, with so many Shadow Clones."
Kushina Uzumaki pushed Minato and said, "What are you standing there for? Go help!"
Minato Namikaze took out dozens of specially made Flying Thunder God Kunai, handed them to Kushina and Kakashi beside him, and said, "Please help me throw these Kunai at the enemy."
"Yes, Minato-sensei."
In an instant, the three of them threw thirty Kunai towards the pillar of light high in the sky.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
"Soaring Swallow Dance Light Flash Shadow Zero Style!"
Minato Namikaze appeared like a golden flash in an instant, instantly covering thirty locations and wiping out the surrounding enemies in a small area.
As the Kunai flew, Minato Namikaze continued to use the Flying Thunder God to clear out the surrounding enemies.
As more and more enemies appeared, the ninjas began to join the battle in an orderly fashion.
Charlotte Doyle, however, seemed to be searching for something.
Charlotte surveyed the battlefield but did not find a second Iron Man or any other visitors from other universes.
"Has it not arrived yet, or is it really not coming?"
Just as Charlotte was searching, the Ancient One's voice suddenly appeared in her ear.
"Prime Merlinian, what are you looking for?"
Charlotte looked up and saw the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, standing on a rooftop, looking directly at her.
Charlotte and the Ancient One exchanged a glance, and the next second Charlotte flew up and arrived in front of the Ancient One.
"Hello, Ancient One."
"You haven't answered my question yet, Charlotte."
Charlotte smiled and then said, "I'm looking for the Ancient One."
"An enemy has appeared on Earth. Shouldn't this be the concern of the Sorcerer Supreme and the Sanctum Sanctorum?"
However, the Ancient One shook her head and said, "The Sorcerer Supreme is mainly responsible for enemies involved in dimensional invasions."
"And this type of enemy is Prime Merlinian's mission."
"I told you about this when you took over as Prime Merlinian. How could you forget, little guy?"
Charlotte recalled that the Ancient One had indeed mentioned this to him at Kamar-Taj, but he had completely forgotten about it.
Charlotte then looked down at the ninjas and said, "Didn't I send ninjas to provide support?"
"I believe this battle will end soon."
