Chapter 124 The Power of the Mind Stone

After doing all this, Harry slowly opened the particle cannon on his suit's chest, and a dark blue light gathered at the muzzle, aiming at Loki, who was unable to move on the ground.

Although Loki was somewhat displeased by this, he still wisely raised his hand.

He didn't back down; he was just following the plan!

After doing all that, Harry sent a signal to everyone via radio.

"The main target has been taken into control, and the threat has been eliminated."

Meanwhile, Steve, together with Peter Parker who arrived just in time, had cleanly and efficiently dealt with the few agents who had been taken into custody.

But... something's not right.

Natasha frowned deeply as she looked at the agents, who were tightly bound by spider webs but looked completely numb.

These people are just on the periphery.

None of the elite squad led by Hawkeye are here.

"Alright, let's take this guy back first."

Harry nodded, then pointed at Loki.

Natasha took a deep breath, nodded, and stepped forward to lock Loki in with specially made handcuffs.

Patton's actions can be extracted from Loki through interrogation; the priority now is to send him back.

Meanwhile, Harry bent down and picked up the scepter inlaid with the Mind Stone from the ground.

To his surprise, the moment he made contact with the scepter, a surge of energy suddenly rushed in.

Inside the suit, Professor X's genes were instantly activated, and the crystal on his forehead, which served as the core of the biological computer, resonated strongly with the azure gem at the top of the scepter!
Is this... the power of the Mind Stone?
A huge wave of emotions surged within Harry.

For unknown reasons, the mutant ability he replicated through the [X-Armor] has always had flaws, and its power is far inferior to the original.

Especially for Professor X's psychic abilities, the impact was greatly diminished.

Even if he cloned a super biological computer using Professor X's cells and combined it with a brainwave amplifier, he could only barely achieve long-distance communication. He was far from being able to create a global mental storm with a single thought, just like Professor X himself.

Logically speaking, the bio-computer he replicated far exceeded the size of the human brain, and it had the same structure and DNA. The capabilities of this bio-computer should be proportional to the user experience, far exceeding Professor X's abilities.

However, the truth is quite the opposite, so he concluded that there are other factors that influence mutant abilities.

But now...

With the amplification of the Mind Gem, this barrier was easily broken!
With this power, he felt he could easily penetrate the depths of anyone's mind and peer into their most secret desires; he could twist and reshape a person's will at will, making them worship him as their master.

He... is God!

"Oh?"

Seeing Harry frozen in place, his eyes becoming somewhat vacant, a barely perceptible gleam of joy flashed in Loki's eyes, and a gloating smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

The power of the Infinity Stones is not something mortals can wield.

The Mind Gem, in particular, excels at seducing and amplifying the deepest desires within living beings, until it completely devours them.

Come, mortals, embrace this power, and then be torn apart by it!
Thinking of the image of this mortal being driven mad by the Mind Stone, Loki couldn't help but hum softly.

"Harry? What's wrong?"

Steve Rogers keenly sensed that something was wrong with Harry and immediately stepped forward, asking warily.

This call, like a morning bell and evening drum, resounded in Harry's mind.

He snapped back to reality and instantly realized how dangerous his situation had been.

To borrow a term from the cultivation world of a solitary individual, this is a typical case of "a restless mind and wandering into demonic possession."

Fortunately, once the problem is recognized, it becomes possible to get rid of it.

Countless thoughts were still swirling in my mind, but once I realized this, the rest became much easier.

After all, controlling one's own thoughts and desires is what cultivators in a solitary world are best at...

“Help me…take it…” Harry’s voice was a little hoarse. He used all his strength to hand the scepter, which exuded endless allure, to Steve, while simultaneously removing the [X-suit] from his body.

His suit was removed, revealing his slightly pale face, his forehead covered with fine beads of sweat.

"Are you OK?"

Steve took the scepter and, seeing Harry's somewhat disheveled appearance, asked with concern.

How did it suddenly become like this?

"fine."

Harry took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the pounding in his heart, and shook his head.

"Send Loki back first; finding the Tesseract is the most important thing."

Pity……

Seeing this, a hint of regret flashed in Loki's eyes.

He never imagined that this mortal could break free from the temptation of the Mind Stone solely through his own will.

This was truly beyond his expectations.

But... this is for the best.

My first phase of the plan can be considered a success.

Next, they need to buy enough time for the second phase so that the gate connecting the universe can be opened smoothly in Midgard, and then the Chitauri army can conquer Earth by force.

And so, the group escorted the silent Loki onto the Quinjet returning to base.

Harry knew Loki's true intentions perfectly well.

But he wasn't sure if, with his intervention, the world's plot would still unfold as before, or if the portal would still open atop Stark Tower.

Therefore, everything will be decided once we return to the space carrier.

However, they hadn't been flying for long...

Outside the fighter jet window, the once clear sky suddenly darkened without warning.

Dark clouds gathered, a gale howled, and blinding flashes of lightning streaked through the clouds, followed by deafening thunder that echoed across the sky.

"Tsk~ Is this troublesome guy here?"

Upon hearing that familiar thunder, Loki's expression instantly became incredibly complex, a mixture of annoyance and something else entirely.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a loud "boom" was heard, and a heavy object slammed into the top of the Quinjet, causing the entire fuselage to shake violently.

The expressions of everyone in the cabin changed drastically, and they all gripped their weapons tightly, creating an extremely tense atmosphere.

Just then, Harry spoke calmly.

"Open the hatch."

The driver was taken aback, but still obeyed the order.

With the sound of hydraulic pressure, the tail door of the engine slowly opened.

A tall figure, draped in a red cloak, wielding a warhammer, and clad in silver armor, walked in against the storm.

"Haha! Long time no see, my friend!"

After entering, he first greeted Harry.

"It's been a long time, Thor..."

After receiving Harry's response, Thor turned his gaze to Loki, who was handcuffed to the side. When he saw Loki's swollen face, he was stunned.

"Little brother, what happened to you...? Who hit you?!"
