But Your Soul Had Already Submitted

After returning from Alien X's consciousness space.

Ben stood motionless for a long time, his eyes closed and his eyebrows furrowed, like a wooden statue.

Although the one remaining in the consciousness space is the No-Watch Ben Bant, the consciousness of the clones created by Ditto's clone ability is interconnected.

In other words, at this moment, Ben could still hear them chattering away in his head.

"Won't I develop a mental illness if this goes on for too long?"

Ben sighed.

Next, he tried to isolate the voices of Enara, Oyana, and the three No-Watch Ben.

Just as Superman's ability allows him to hear all the sounds on Earth, the vast world is too noisy, and so is Ben now.

He imagined himself as an isolated island, far removed from the noisy world.

Stay away from Enara and Oyana.

In an instant, the three arguing voices seemed to be stretched billions of light-years away, their sounds muffled and indistinct through a thin membrane.

It fell silent.

Ben breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank you, Martha.

Venom huddled in the corner, watching Ben's strange expression. He figured this guy was probably even crazier than Deadpool.

After all, even Deadpool can't suddenly change from one thing to another; his ugliness is very consistent.

Ben ignored Venom.

He strode out of the laboratory, heading to H.A.M.M.E.R..

While finding Symbiote is important, it pales in comparison to the approaching Chitauri army.

A dozen minutes later, on the H.A.M.M.E.R. Helicarrier, Norman Osborn, who had just rested, sat at the conference table. After listening to what Ben had to say, he wearily pinched the bridge of his nose with his fingers.

"How could this happen so suddenly?"

Hill frowned as he spoke.

Originally, they all thought they had a year to prepare.

However, although a lot has happened during this period and almost two months have passed, their preparations are far from sufficient.

"Wakanda only just sent the Vibranium over a short time ago, and the Space Station hasn't even started construction yet," Coulson said, frowning.

Where's the satellite?

Ben asked.

The Earth Defense Network could only be activated based on the presence of four new artificial satellites. At the time, considering that the satellites did not require Vibranium for protection, Ben had H.A.M.M.E.R. begin preparations ahead of time.

Only two were completed.

Norman sighed.

Upon hearing this, Ben clicked his tongue softly and tapped his fingers on the table.

The two satellites couldn't even connect one side of the protective net.

"There's less than a week left. We can't just conjure up two satellites out of thin air," Hill sighed, speaking seriously.

Hearing her words, Ben raised his head.

"It's not entirely impossible."

Hill:???

Immediately, everyone in the meeting room turned their attention to Ben.

How to do it?

"Shouldn't H.A.M.M.E.R. have its own satellites?" Ben asked.

"It's a satellite left behind by S.H.I.E.L.D.., so what?" Hill asked back.

"Since there's no time to make a new one, we'll have to modify it," Ben said. "Contact Tony; his help will speed things up."

Actually, using Upgrade would allow you to modify the original satellite in an instant.

However, the Upgrade can only change the basic structure of the satellite; it cannot upgrade the satellite's materials.

Ben couldn't use Upgrade to upgrade a regular satellite into an object capable of withstanding the energy of Tesseract's Cube, so he could only use Grey Matter for rapid modification.

However, it's too slow for him to do it alone.

We need to find a helper.

"The Avengers should assemble again."

Natasha patted her plump bottom, swayed as she stood up, and sighed, saying:

"I've only been resting for a little over a month."

"Don't worry, Grandma Natasha. You'll be ninety in a few years. Wolverine can only be filmed until he's ninety. I'll definitely let you retire then," Ben said.

"I don't know what you're talking about..."

Natasha shrugged and then sent a signal to each of the Avengers to assemble.

At this point in time, almost none of the Avengers were asleep.

Peter, Matt, and Disguised Captain America are all in Hell's Kitchen, constantly fighting with the chaotic gangsters.

They are very powerful, and no one can rival them. But gangs are like swarms of cockroaches; once you get rid of some, even more will emerge.

Keep them busy dealing with it.

Therefore, neither Matt Captain America had time to answer the phone. Only Peter managed to pick up the communicator and make calls while fighting, something he was all too familiar with.

"Hey, what's up? tatatatatatata..."

The sound of machine gun fire came through the phone.

"What? The Chitauri are coming? Okay, okay, I'll tell them right away..."

Then Peter yelled again, "Wait, Captain, watch out, a grenade—"

"Boom!!"

"Beep beep beep beep..."

After a brief commotion, the line went dead.

Hill sighed and hung up the phone in frustration.

The last person to answer was Tony, who was also busy working overtime. After the call connected, he immediately switched the phone to 3D projection mode, and an AI image appeared in front of everyone.

What are you doing?

He said impatiently, then, glancing at Ben out of the corner of his eye, added, "I've upgraded the armor model to 45, and I've even got the big one."

"I knew it would be useful to prepare the blueprints in advance!"

He still remembered the last time Ben came to him and mocked him for being in seclusion for so long without managing to create a single suit of armor.

"By the way, about the super control thing you mentioned to me last time, I've been thinking about it. I think we can upgrade the artificial intelligence. If you have time..."

"There's no time, Tony."

Ben interrupted.

Our troubles are fast approaching.

He briefly explained the current situation, and then Tony immediately asked questions.

"Didn't they say it would be a year? Where Bambi this false information?"

His gaze swept around, then he asked:

Where's Bambi?

He's not here.

"Alright, hurry up and come over, I can't handle this all by myself."

Ben cut off the communication. In fact, he didn't know where Loki was. After they parted ways in the park, Ben hadn't paid any attention to Loki.

now.

In Northern Europe.

Loki stood alone on the edge of the cliff, gazing at the boundless sea, lost in thought.

He was confused.

Since his last conversation with the War Lord, Loki had noticed something was wrong.

My memory is faulty.

In his memory, he hated everything: he hated Odin for favoring Thor because of his Thor, he hated Thor for being born powerful, he hated that the kingship of Asgard would never belong to him, he hated that Ben became king on Sakaar...

In his memory, he was jealous of Ben because Ben had accomplished what he could not.

But when he arrived on Earth and met Ben and Thor, he discovered that this was not the case.

He found that when he truly faced Ben, he felt no resentment; his Soul Stone was completely won over by him.

She didn't stay on Sakaar to work for him out of forbearance or a desire for revenge, but because she genuinely respected him.

But why?

I am a god!

How could they possibly accept a mere mortal?

Could it be that Sakaar King truly possesses some unique qualities?

Loki recalled what Ben had once told him, "When you stop caring about qualifications, that's when you'll be qualified."

Could this be the reason I approve of him?

Those who did not desire to be kings became kings without any real desire, while those who yearned for it could not attain it.

Your suspicions are correct.

At that moment, a voice flashed through his mind.

Immediately afterwards, a green, sticky substance emerged from under his skin.

It is Symbiote.

Last night, the Symbiote that arrived with Venom separated during their escape, but none of them forgot their Thor Thor.

Loki noticed these extraterrestrial visitors.

At first, he thought the Chitauri had arrived, so he went to check immediately, only to find the Symbiote crawling out of the escape pod.

Immediately afterwards, he was possessed.

The green Symbiote never expected to be so lucky, encountering an Asgardian the moment it stepped off the spaceship.

"My previous host possessed extremely powerful psychic abilities. I copied his power, which is why I can sense that your memories and mind have been tampered with."

Symbiote theory.

"This power is very strong. Perhaps I can help you, but I need your permission to let my power enter the depths of your heart."

Don't even think about it!

Loki coldly refused.

The mind and Soul Stone are the most important parts of life; it is impossible for one to reveal one's most secret things to a Symbiote of unknown origin without any disclosure.

"I'm keeping you around just in case," Loki said.

He would never have allowed this sticky Symbiote to parasitize his noble divine body.

However, Loki still doesn't know how he was controlled, or what kind of person could influence the mind of the First Mage of the Nine Realms.

If the other party tries to control him again, then this Symbiote can play its role.

"No matter who it is, they won't make me Loki, their puppet!"

"No matter who it is, don't even think about making me submit!"

Loki said coldly.

The Symbiote tilted its head and teased:

"But your Soul Stone thinks otherwise."

Loki remained silent.

Because he knew the Symbiote was right.

His Soul Stone acknowledged Ben and Sakaar King.

Seeing his silence, the Symbiote did not continue the topic, but changed the subject.

"Regardless, as Agent of the Cosmos, I want to save the lives of everyone on this planet and prevent them from Carnage by the Chitauri. And you, you also want to break free from control and take revenge on those arrogant fools, so we should cooperate."

"The Chitauri are almost at Earth now. We need to find your brother, Thor Thor, quickly. Only he has the ability to fight against the Chitauri army."

Upon hearing this, Loki gave a mocking smile.

"He can't do it. He can't even lift a hammer."

"Moreover, I need to find myself first..."
