On Quinjet, the atmosphere was tense.
Loki was wearing a special metal shackle and was fixed on the seat in the corner, like a packaged dangerous item.
He remained motionless, but his green eyes were not idle, slowly scanning the faces of everyone in the cabin, as if assessing the quality of prey.
Tony·Stark was leaning against the cold bulkhead, arms folded in front of his chest, looking unhappy.
"We should pry open his mouth at Germany." He said, breaking the silence. "Use some medieval methods. I dare say he can do anything."
"He is a prisoner of war, Stark." Steve·Rogers sat opposite him, his brows knitted into a knot. He always sat like a soldier, upright and alert.
"He killed eighty people in three minutes." Tony sneered without giving in, "That was a terrorist attack, not a war."
"If we also use torture, then there will be no difference between us and him."
"Of course there is a difference." Tony raised his eyebrows, "The difference is that we won and he lost."
Chu Hang closed his eyes, leaned back in the chair, and turned a deaf ear to the quarrel between the two.
His brain was about to explode.
The talent of "First Mage of the Nine Realms" is like a universal decoder, frantically analyzing everything in his body - the source energy of Cosmic Cube, the energy of Binary, and God Physique.
But now, these gibberish codes are being deciphered line by line.
He saw the power structure in his body.
Cosmic Cube Energy is a three-dimensional matrix composed of countless blue runes. It is precise and stable, and contains the laws of space.
Binary is a pure ocean of golden energy, wild and unrestrained.
And the God Physique just obtained is like a golden web of laws, wrapping and connecting all of them, giving them a higher Life Law level.
The fighter plane landed smoothly on the deck of Helicarrier.
Nick Fury is already waiting with a team of heavily armed agents.
The cabin door opened, and the cold high-altitude sea breeze poured in.
Loki was roughly escorted by two agents. When passing by Chu Hang, he suddenly stopped. He turned his head slightly and stared at Chu Hang with his green eyes.
The anger and contempt before were gone in his eyes, leaving only a kind of pure and inquiring confusion.
He didn't understand why the illusion he was so proud of could be seen through so easily by a mortal.
Chu Hang slowly opened his eyes and looked back at him calmly.
Their eyes met, there was no spark, only cold scrutiny.
Loki was locked in a special glass cylinder and suspended in the huge space at the center of the mothership. Fury said that as long as he pressed a button, this "cage" would free fall from an altitude of 30,000 feet.
Chu Hang thinks this design is quite stupid. Against someone of Loki's level, physical falling is meaningless.
He walked alone to the cell console.
In the glass cell, Loki has taken off his shackles and is sitting leisurely on a bench, as if this is not a prison but his palace.
"You're here." Loki saw him, an elegant smile appeared on his face, "I really can't understand how you can see through my illusion, mortal."
"Let me confirm whether you are really that stupid and will take the initiative to be caught." Chu Hang's voice was very flat, and there was no emotion.
"Caught?" Loki chuckled and stood up, "No, I just changed to a better auditorium. What could be a more exciting drama than watching a group of self-righteous heroes fall apart due to suspicion and arrogance?"
He walked slowly to the glass wall and looked at Chu Hang through a transparent barrier.
"You are different from them." Loki's voice was very low, with a kind of bewitching magic power, like a snake whispering in the ear, "You have the aura of a seeker of knowledge, you are eager for the truth, and you are eager to touch the origin of the world."
He stretched out his hand, his pale palm gently touching the glass.
"Join me. I can teach you the real Asgard magic and let you see the scenery that mortals can never reach. What do you want? Power? Immortality? Or the mystery of the universe? I can give it to you."
Chu Hang looked at him quietly, as if watching a clown performing hard.
With [First Mage of the Nine Realms]'s talent, Loki's little mental trick was ridiculously transparent in his eyes. He could clearly see that Loki was mobilizing a weak spiritual energy, like an invisible filament, trying to get into his brain and plant a seed of doubt in his deepest consciousness.
"Your magic talent is indeed good." Chu Hang suddenly said.
The smile on Loki's face froze.
"Unfortunately, you used it in the wrong place." Chu Hang shook his head, with a hint of regret in his tone, "You regarded it as a trick to deceive others, rather than a key to discovering the truth."
"What did you say?"
"You should spend more time studying the inner structure of the runes instead of indulging in using illusions to scare ordinary people." Chu Hang continued.
He raised his right hand and slowly spread his fingers.
A small space began to twist, compress, and fold in the palm of his hand. All the surrounding light was sucked in. Eventually, the space turned into a singularity smaller than a marble and emitting blue light.
This is his most basic application of Cosmic Cube Energy, a pure manifestation of Law of Space.
Loki's pupils suddenly shrank into pinpoints.
He understood.
He could understand what it was. It was the extremely pure Law of Space. It was him, it was Odin, it was Asgard, a realm that all the gods would dream of touching. But this mortal in front of him could actually take it at his fingertips.
This completely subverted his understanding.
"You..." Loki's voice was full of confusion that could not be concealed for the first time. "Who are you?"
"A passing the Collector."
Chu Hang finished speaking calmly, closed his fingers, and the blue singularity disappeared silently.
He turned and left, leaving Loki standing alone behind the glass wall, the arrogance and elegance on his face gone.
Chu Hang returned to the room assigned to him, closed the door, and sat cross-legged on the floor.
He needed some quiet time to digest the new things in his mind.
He drew a wisp of pure Cosmic Cube Energy from his body and let it hover at his fingertips. In the past, this energy was like a wildfire in his hands, and he could only throw it out roughly and make a hole.
Now, he can see its interior. It is an extremely complex three-dimensional matrix composed of countless tiny blue runes. Each rune represents a side of Law of Space.
At the same time, the bridge of Helicarrier.
Fury is facing Loki on the main screen, and the interrogation has reached a deadlock.
"Who are the people behind you? What do they want?"
Loki just wore his signature smile and said nothing.
On the side screen, Natasha's avatar popped up.
"Sir, he is stalling for time." Black Widow's voice was calm and professional, "He is observing us, analyzing each of us, and looking for our weaknesses."
Fury's one eye flashed with a cold light.
In the laboratory on the lower level of the mothership.
Tony and Doctor Banner are tracking the gamma ray signal of Cosmic Cube.
"The pattern of this energy radiation is very strange." Doctor Banner pointed to a regular pulse waveform on the screen, "It doesn't look like natural decay, but rather... a designed signal."
"That's right." Tony's fingers flew on the virtual keyboard, bringing up another encryption window, "Moreover, S.H.I.E.L.D. has been secretly downloading its data. Look at this, the folder name is 'Phase Two'."
He opened the folder without hesitation.
It is full of design drawings of weapons. There are handheld energy guns, directed energy cannons, and even a super bomb with Cosmic Cube as the core.
"Son of a bitch." Tony cursed in a low voice.
He understood everything in an instant. Fury came to them and formed Avengers. He just wanted to use them to take back Tesseract and continue his shady weapons research.
"He wants to use Tesseract's energy to create weapons of mass destruction." Tony turned to Banner and said, his tone full of ridicule.
At this moment, the door to the laboratory opened and Steve walked in.
"Making weapons?" Steve's face instantly darkened, "Stark, what are you talking about?"
Tony was too lazy to explain and turned the home screen directly to him.
"See for yourself, Captain." Tony pointed at the ferocious weapon designs on the screen, "This is what Fury did behind our backs. He wanted to restart Hydra's old dream, but this time he changed his name."
Steve's eyes fell on the screen. Those familiar blue energy weapon blueprints instantly brought him back to the battlefield seventy years ago.
He thought of Red Skull, and those comrades who were reduced to ashes by energy weapons.
His eyes became cold.
