Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 726 A Warning from Akatsuki: Beware of the Chitauri…

Earth.

S.H.I.E.L.D. secret base.

A group of agents quickly packed their belongings as they evacuated the secret base, because the underground Tesseract would occasionally unleash bursts of energy.

however…

Dr. Selvig, the scientist in charge of researching the Cosmic Cube, knew nothing about it. He had no way to control the Cosmic Cube, nor could he prevent the secret base from being destroyed by it.

The awakening of the Cosmic Cube is uncontrollable.

Because it is itself the most abundant energy source in the universe!

Faced with this situation that could spiral out of control at any moment, the base's commander, Clint Barton, had no choice but to request an evacuation. Nick Fury was forced to rush to the scene and direct the agents there to remove all the base's equipment.

however…

The energy of the Cosmic Cube is still erupting…

Someone is secretly channeling this mysterious energy!

Until the energy of the Cosmic Cube finally reached a new breaking point, the surging energy suddenly opened a blue spatial wormhole in the underground base!

A man named Loki appeared in the wormhole!

This man, wielding only a scepter, easily routed the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. team in the underground base; his physical strength far surpassed that of humans on Earth!

"I am Loki... from Asgard!"

Loki reached out and gripped his scepter, his face a mixture of arrogance and ruthlessness. Facing a group of Earthlings, his attitude was more haughty than ever before!

The Asgardians are gods who once descended upon the earth!

Nick Fury had reviewed the Hammer incident reports from New Mexico multiple times, and he immediately realized that it was an alien invasion, something he had long been wary of!

There may be aliens in the universe who are friendly to Earth, like Thor, and there may also be aliens like Loki who want to invade Earth!

I just didn't expect...

This invasion came so quickly!

Loki swiftly used his scepter to manipulate Clint Barton and a group of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, hooked up with Nick Fury, stole the Tesseract, and left the secret base.

Inside the base's underground parking lot.

Without hesitation, Loki got into the back of a pickup truck.

Even though Clint Barton was under Loki's control and wouldn't disobey his orders, he couldn't help but hesitate for a second before advising, "Sir, you'd better change the car. The owner of this car is a rather troublesome fellow."

The pickup truck belonged to his troublesome colleague.

Because that troublesome colleague has been traveling all over the world for the past six months, his vehicle was naturally temporarily confiscated by S.H.I.E.L.D. So why did someone actually drive this pickup truck here?

Clint Barton felt he had to obey Loki; they were enemies with the owner of the pickup truck, and he instinctively wanted to avoid the trouble.

"Walk."

Loki gave a dismissive order, sneered, and stared intently at Hawkeye Barton: "God never considers the feelings of an ant when he wants to do something."

"Yes."

Clint Barton had no choice but to obey orders.

late at night.

The night grew darker and darker.

The prelude to Loki's invasion of Earth has just begun.

Without hesitation, Nick Fury immediately returned to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters and ordered the newly developed war machine, the Space Carrier, to be deployed to search for Loki, Barton, and the others.

"Agent Uehara Naraku".

Nick Fury contacted Naraku Uehara directly, ordering the Avengers team to assemble: "Head to New York immediately and contact Tony Stark and Dr. Bruce Banner. I remember they're both in New York..."

A second later, Nick Fury added, "And Captain Steve Rogers, someone will meet you at the New York airport..."

Although Nick Fury still didn't fully trust Steve Rogers, at this point, no force could be abandoned...

Because they were facing a mythical figure!

"Sir, what's wrong?"

Uehara Naraku yawned, his voice still hesitant: "I've tracked down the target again, and we're about to catch Coulson and Agent Hill..."

"Agent Uehara Naraku!"

Nick Fury interrupted Uehara Naraku, his voice heavier than ever before: "The Asgardians have taken the Tesseract, it's now a Level 7 event... the war has begun!"

"clear."

Uehara Naraku agreed quite readily.

Most of the Avengers' superheroes are connected to Uehara Naraku in some way. He once protected Tony Stark, personally found Bruce Banner, and had a good relationship with Steve Rogers.

Natasha Romanov didn't need Uehara Naraku to inform her; after receiving the news that Barton had been brainwashed and controlled, she immediately rushed to New York.

As for Uehara Naraku…

He was still leisurely making phone calls to notify people.

"Hey, Mr. Tony Stark..."

Beep beep beep beep…

The call was immediately disconnected.

Uehara Naraku paused for a second, took a screenshot of the call log, and relentlessly dialed Tony Stark's number until it was blocked.

Uehara Naraku's brows furrowed slightly. A spatial vortex slowly floated up, and a masked man wearing a black robe with auspicious clouds appeared beside him.

"Is this yet another shady order?"

"Go tell Howard Stark's son that the Tesseract has awakened and attracted the attention of the Chitauri. Don't let humans on Earth presume to study the Tesseract."

"...What else?"

"That's all, I'll keep you under control..."

Uehara Naraku looked at the masked man in front of him and said softly, "Perhaps this experience will be quite interesting for them. It's time for them to experience the outside world."

"..."

The masked man fell silent.

He re-entered the spatial vortex and disappeared quietly.

Uehara Naraku contacted Bruce Banner again, and the honest man who was controlled by him with Black Zetsu naturally dared not disobey and obediently accepted his orders;

As a World War II veteran, Steve Rogers naturally had no objections to Nick Fury's orders.

After the Avengers arrived at New York Airport, they were all taken away by a Quinjet and sent to the space carrier that was already patrolling in the air.

As for Tony Stark…

After hearing the mysterious masked man's warning, he immediately set off in his Iron Man suit to the space carrier to find out what had happened!

Before leaving, Tony Stark hesitated for a moment, looked at the masked man in a black robe with auspicious clouds beside him, and continued, "Perhaps you can rest here first... I'll go and find out what's going on."

"Um…"

The mysterious masked man slowly nodded.

Although the man was wearing a mask, Tony Stark had already seen his true face through X-ray vision—a face full of scars and cracks…

the most important is…

This man's body was completely cold!

Tony Stark had no doubt; he knew this was a member of Dawn, who had used his spatial abilities to quickly reach Earth due to the awakening of the Tesseract, specifically to warn humanity of the Chitauri…

to be honest…

If it weren't for the urgency of the situation and the urgent need to find out what was going on with the Tesseract, Tony Stark would have preferred to talk to the masked man a little longer…

"Perhaps I could also try to help hide the energy of the Cosmic Cube."

The masked man glanced at Tony Stark and said in a hoarse voice, "I gained the ability to manipulate a portion of space because Mr. Howard Stark had me study the Tesseract..."

good night!
