Are You Dissatisfied With Me

Loki, his mind already made up, carried the Scepter of Mind and stopped about ten meters in front of Thanos.

He first planted the scepter on the ground, then knelt on one knee before Thanos.

"Thank you for your gift, Lord Thanos. I will never disappoint you!"

"Hmm, I believe in Asgard, and I believe in its prince.

Ebony Maw, take him to the Chitauri fleet."

"Yes!"

Hearing Thanos's command, Ebony Maw nodded respectfully, then led Loki to the Sanctuary mothership's landing bay. He entered a small spaceship with Loki.

Once aboard, Loki sat in the co-pilot's seat with a smile. However, compared to him, Ebony Maw's expression was not very pleasant.

The spaceship took off rapidly and jumped directly to the Chitauri assembly point.

As soon as the jump ended, Ebony Maw couldn't help but speak to Loki, whose smile was particularly wicked and unrestrained.

"His Majesty rarely trusts anyone, but you have earned his trust.

Yet, I know your heart is filled with deceit and pride. I hope your pride will not disappoint His Majesty!"

"Heh, Lord Ebony Maw!" Loki immediately replied confidently, "Since I already have the help of Lord Thanos, do you think I still have a chance to fail?"

"Indeed."

Ebony Maw thought for a moment, shook his head seriously, and then stood beside Loki with his hands behind his back, like a statue.

It wasn't until the spaceship arrived that Ebony Maw moved, continuing to lead Loki into the Chitauri flagship.

The Chitauri flagship looked like two U-shaped magnets stuck together back-to-back.

Or, it looked more like a giant letter H.

Around the flagship, countless landing craft, a fusion of flesh and machinery, circled and patrolled the hull.

Ebony Maw and Loki's spaceship flew towards the center of the flagship, the middle section of the H-shaped vessel.

The sealed flagship immediately opened its doors for Ebony Maw's craft.

After they entered, Ebony Maw led Loki out of the small spaceship and into the flagship's command center.

As they walked, Ebony Maw introduced Loki.

"The Chitauri will be the most suitable troops for you because this unit has no commander.

You only need to input your genetic information into the Chitauri leader to gain complete command of this bio-mechanical army.

They can enter hibernation at any time to avoid wasting energy. They have no consciousness and do not tire. As long as you give an order, they will fight to the death for you.

Even among the seven top-tier forces commanded by His Majesty, the Chitauri are not ranked at the bottom."

As he spoke, Ebony Maw waved his right hand gently, and Loki's forehead suddenly felt a sharp pain.

"Damn it!"

Loki instinctively roared.

At the moment of his pain, a narrow wound appeared in the center of his forehead!

With just a wave of his hand, he had injured Loki's body, which he prided himself on?

This was the body of Asgard's greatest assassin...

The greatest mage's body!

This also caused Loki's expression to darken instantly.

Ebony Maw, as if he couldn't see Loki's displeasure, gently swayed his right hand, and a small lump of flesh floated in front of the leader container with his movement.

Completely ignoring Loki's anger, he directly completed the step of inputting genetic information.

"Flesh closest to the brain is more effective. The Chitauri leader likes the taste of wisdom. Although you are quite foolish, you do have a bit of cunning!"

Ebony Maw said as he continued to wave his hand at Loki.

His right hand seemed to control everything like the Hand of God. Mysterious equipment piled up in the Chitauri flagship's command room floated out.

The equipment combined within the command room, eventually forming an instrument that looked somewhat like a trampoline.

After the instrument was assembled, Ebony Maw explained to Loki with his hands behind his back.

"This is the teleportation array His Majesty used to search for and utilize the energy of the Space Stone back then. You can use it to exert some influence on the Space Stone.

However, that influence is not very strong. If you want to remotely control the stone through the array and send yourself and your troops to Earth..."

Ebony Maw shook his head slightly.

"That is basically impossible!"

"So, Lord Ebony Maw, you must have a way, right?"

Loki didn't seem panicked at all. He believed that Thanos's subordinates could solve his problems.

As for why he believed...

Because in the current universe, there were almost no problems that Thanos couldn't solve.

The events that followed proved Loki's guess correct.

"Indeed!"

Ebony Maw spoke slowly.

"We don't need to send all your troops into Midgard, so only you will be the first to arrive.

You understand what I mean!"

As his voice fell, Loki nodded in understanding.

"The old method, I open this door myself in Midgard, right?"

"Precisely!"

Ebony Maw confirmed.

"Remember, you'll have less than five chances to teleport, because the reason we can control the Space Stone through the array is that the array came into contact with and retained a small portion of the Space Stone's energy five thousand years ago.

This energy will continuously dissipate into the universe after you activate the array, so you must quickly grasp the fluctuations of the Space Stone and open the portal at the opportune moment.

That moment will be extremely brief, calling it the blink of an eye would be appropriate.

Therefore, you won't have many chances to train, study it, master it, and do your best, Prince of Asgard.

I look forward to your success!"

After speaking, Ebony Maw nodded at Loki and then turned to leave.

Watching Ebony Maw's receding figure, Loki had to admit he was envious.

He was truly envious of the damned confidence Thanos' subordinates possessed!

Look at them; he had merely offered a suggestion, just a suggestion!

He himself hadn't planned to succeed, only thinking of securing a position under Thanos.

As a result, Thanos gave him the Mind Stone and the Chitauri fleet.

And after giving him these, they didn't make any demands of him, instead letting him handle everything in his own way!

As long as he fulfilled his promise.

This kind of confidence was truly wicked.

Thanos and his subordinates were simply certain that whether he obtained Earth or not, whether Loki fled to the ends of the earth, or whatever power he possessed in the future...

If you broke your agreement with Thanos, no matter how far you were from Thanos, he would always find you and make you pay the price!

This invisible deterrence made Loki instinctively shake his head; he disliked this feeling of being shackled.

So, he quickly approached the spatial array and began to examine the instrument.

After a long while...

"Hmm, incredible, the research style from five thousand years ago was surprisingly minimalist."

He looked at the array, which had no control buttons at all, and said helplessly.

"So minimalist that I don't even know where the switch is!"

Saying that, Loki simply stood on top of the array.

"Then let's think about it another way, is the array always working?"

As he spoke, he spread his arms on the array platform, constantly trying to feel the power of the Space Stone.

After a moment.

"Haha, it's as I suspected, I can feel that power constantly suppressing itself, waiting for the final explosion.

The Midgardians' use of the Space Stone is too crude; they are merely extracting, compressing, and storing the power within the stone before releasing it.

It's like getting the best Pegasus, but instead of letting it go to battle, you keep it constantly breeding to produce offspring.

I have always believed that these miraculous stones have souls, and the Midgardians' actions are a complete disgrace to them.

Therefore, I am the destiny brought by the Space Stone for Midgard.

I will soon punish them and then rule them!"

As his voice fell, Loki communicated with and utilized the energy of the Space Stone for the first time.

Instantly, Loki's body was gradually enveloped by layers of blue fluorescence.

However, unfortunately, this phenomenon only lasted for two seconds before disappearing.

"Hmm, this tearing sensation from space is completely different from the teleportation of the Bifrost.

The Bifrost is like me drifting downstream on a river in a boat.

But this makes me feel like I've fallen directly into a cave, and the point of impact is where I want to go!"

After saying that, Loki's mind was constantly pondering the reasons for his failure, and this thought process continued for quite some time.

Midgard..., which is our beautiful Earth.

In the not-so-beautiful Pegasus base, over two thousand S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and elite scholars were orderly leaving the base like migrating ants.

They had just received a high-level order directly from the Helicarrier!

"Evacuate all personnel involved in Project Pegasus and halt research on the Tesseract!"

In the command center, Hill said helplessly to Banner and Professor Selvig.

"I've followed your advice and evacuated all members, so will the risk you mentioned still exist?"

After speaking, she looked wearily at Banner and the other, silently awaiting their answer.

Hearing Hill's question, Professor Selvig immediately shook his head.

"The risk always exists. The Tesseract's activity level has increased compared to two days ago. I can't guarantee everything you want!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Banner immediately followed up.

"That's too conservative. Let me describe it simply for you, Director.

The Tesseract has long lost its former balance and stillness. It's like a sleeping volcano gradually waking up, brewing its energy. Once this energy is brewed, it will inevitably erupt!"

"Erupt?!" Hill pursed her lips. "To what extent?"

"It will create a wormhole, and even evolve into a black hole!!!"

"Fuck!"

Banner's answer made Hill curse directly. This was a result she absolutely could not accept.

Hawking had already told us what a black hole was. Earth could not afford the price of such a black hole appearing!

Fortunately, Professor Selvig quickly continued.

"But we have a solution, Director Hill. As long as we don't stop stimulating the Tesseract and let it continue to accumulate its energy, while using instruments to prepare to isolate the Tesseract's energy at any time!"

"What exactly do you mean?" Hill asked, somewhat confused.

Selvig explained it separately.

"It means we actively speed up the Tesseract's energy activity, allowing the wormhole to be born prematurely before it accumulates enough power.

At the same time, we must isolate the Tesseract's energy immediately so that the wormhole isn't strong enough to become a black hole.

That way, the wormhole will collapse with a bang. Although it's harmful, the power in my calculations won't exceed a medium-sized hydrogen bomb!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Banner beside him roared indignantly.

"Selvig!"

Banner looked extremely angry.

"This is not a good solution. We can't determine the scale of the wormhole's creation, and it might even release a black hole directly. I've discussed this with you before. Don't treat actively releasing danger as a solution, especially when we can't be 100% sure of the danger level!

You clearly promised me that you would stop stimulating the Tesseract's energy, bury it in a desolate, uninhabited place, and completely extend the time before the Tesseract's eruption. But why are you proposing this radical plan again now? Are you dissatisfied with me!"
