The One Who Stole the Mind Scepter?

There was an unexpected incident?

Captain America and his crew became wary, thinking they were just Chitauri accomplices.

However, what they didn't know was that the Chitauri Commander and others were also quite taken aback at this moment.

The Chitauri Commander glanced at Loki instinctively, but Loki immediately shook his head, indicating that he wasn't one of his men.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the portal flickered with sparks, revealing a very large opening.

At this moment, Captain America, the Chitauri Commander, and others could clearly see the scene on the other side of the cave entrance.

"Is this a portal?"

Black Widow Natasha, who had just closed the portal, subconsciously glanced at the scepter in her hand, then at the device beside her. After confirming that the device had not been activated, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

Is it possible for someone to open a portal without the help of the Cosmic Cube?

Who is it?

What do they want? Soon, they realized who they were.

A middle-aged man dressed in Yellow Robe, with blond hair and a small braid tied at the back of his head, led more than a dozen people dressed similarly out of the portal.

The newcomers were none other than the mages, including Kaecilius.

After deciding to seize the Cosmic Cube and the Mind Scepter and offer them as a sacrifice to the great demon god, they acted decisively, casually opening a portal to the top of Stark Tower, ready to come and take the two divine artifacts.

"Who are these guys? Are they stage actors?"

Looking at their clothes, Tony Stark said with a surprised expression.

How many times has this happened? He's seen people dressed in strange clothes again. Of course, although he jokingly calls them stage actors, he's still very wary, even more so.

After all, people dressed strangely are usually not easy to mess with, just like Loki and Thor. Tony Stark has learned his lesson.

As soon as they emerged from the portal, Kaecilius and the others had a clear objective: head straight for the device containing the Cosmic Cube.

Noticing his actions, both Captain America and his men, as well as the Chitauri Commander and his group, were all taken aback.

"Halt! No one is allowed to approach here!"

Natasha moved swiftly, holding the Mind Scepter in one hand and drawing a black pistol from her waist with the other, pointing it directly at Kaecilius and the others who were approaching, and issuing a warning, intending to drive them away.

However, Kaecilius and the others who heard her warning did stop in their tracks, but their gazes also turned to Natasha.

Kaecilius's gaze sharpened as he stared at the black pistol in her hand. Then, in the next second, something unexpected happened to Natasha.

The other two mages beside Kaecilius received a signal from Kaecilius.

The next second, they waved their hands in unison, and two yellow Energy Whip appeared, instantly wrapping around the Mind Scepter and black pistol that Natasha was holding.

In an instant, the two items slipped from Natasha's unprepared hands.

One of his henchmen opened a portal and threw the black pistol in, while the other henchman, Peili, handed the Mind Scepter to Kaecilius.

"This is truly a wonderful thing; the great Demon God will surely love it," Cassilia exclaimed.

As he stroked the golden shaft of the Mind Scepter and felt the immense energy contained within the gemstone inlaid at its top, his eyes revealed amazement and excitement.

At this moment, the other mages were also very excited, their eyes filled with anticipation, looking forward to the rewards the demon god would bestow upon them after they offered this item as a sacrifice.

They watched with bated breath as Captain America and the others witnessed this scene unfold, and were utterly astonished.

What is this? Two people are brandishing yellow whips?

Superpowers? Loki, watching from afar, narrowed his eyes and murmured, "A wizard from Midgard?"

"Hmm?" The Chitauri Commander next to him looked at him with a puzzled expression.

At this moment.

Seeing that they had taken the Mind Scepter, Captain America Steve Rogers glanced at Iron Man and said, "Stark, get me up there."

Tony Stark nodded, and grabbed Hawkeye, who was standing next to him, as well.

With a whoosh, they flew to the top of Stark Tower.

Seeing this, Thor also swung his hammer and flew up.

As for Hulk, he jumped several times on the nearby buildings, eventually reaching the top of Stark Tower as well.

With a thud, Hulk landed on the ground.

Even Loki and the Chitauri Commander arrived at the top of the building at this time.

Noticing their movements, Kaecilius and the others looked over.

"Put down your scepters!"

Who are you?

Captain America Steve Rogers, holding his Vibranium Shield, was the first to step forward and question the situation.

At this moment, Loki, who was not far away, also spoke up.

"Is it you guys?" Loki recognized the group; they were the same people he had encountered when he came out of S.H.I.E.L.D.. to steal the Cosmic Cube.

What alarmed him at the time was some of the words these people used.

Now they've reappeared here. So their goal is the Cosmic Cube and the Mind Scepter? "Loki, do you know them?" Thor asked warily. "Are they one of yours? Even now, you haven't given up?"

Loki's face darkened slightly upon hearing this, but then he smiled and said as if watching a good show, "No, no, no, they are not my men. If I'm not mistaken, they should be mages from Midgard."

He paused, then looked at Kaecilius and the others under the astonished gazes of the onlookers.

"Right, you so-called mages who are clearly mages, yet you call them 'Lord'?"

As he spoke, Loki couldn't help but think of a sentence spoken by the leading mage during their last meeting—a sentence that both puzzled and warled him.

"Just as the Lord predicted, everything is about to begin?"

The more he thought about those words, the stronger the strange feeling in his heart became.

At this moment, Hawkeye glanced at Loki and defended him, saying, "Loki wasn't lying this time. They really only met once, and I was there too."

Upon hearing this Captain America, Iron Man, and the others looked at Barton in surprise.

They knew that Barton was referring to the time when he was controlled by the Mind Scepter.

Why did this group appear so early? What's their purpose? They've been lurking in the shadows for so long, surely it was all for this moment?

For the Tesseract and the scepter? And what did Loki just say, "magician"?

"These people are mages, and that yellow whip was magic?" Tony Stark asked, looking surprised.
