A person is writing a diary in an American comic book, and Iron Man collapses at the beginning.

Chapter 184 The Battle of the Infinity Stones: The Avengers vs. the Future Avengers

"Chitauri?"

"You were just talking about the Chitauri?"

Loki's brow furrowed slightly, and his voice betrayed a hint of disbelief.

The Midgards actually know about the Chitauri?

This shouldn't be happening!

Even before those guys came to him, Loki didn't know about the Chitauri race.

As it turns out, the backward and ignorant mortal in Loki's eyes actually knew?

Not only that.

The fact that the other party specifically mentioned the Chitauri at this time was an obvious implication.

It seems that it is aware of its relationship with the Chitauri.

How is that possible!

"You're surprised by that?"

Nick Fury paced slowly in front of Loki, firmly grasping the rhythm of the entire negotiation.

"What if I told you that I also knew you stole the Tesseract to open a portal and teleport the Chitauri here?"

Swish!

Lu Dan immediately saw that Loki in front of him was completely in a state of extreme confusion.

Even the corners of his mouth started twitching.

Surprise, caught off guard, stunned, unexpected...

A variety of expressions took turns playing out on his face, it was quite a sight.

"How do you know all this?"

Several seconds passed before Loki finally uttered the question in disbelief.

Heaven help me, Loki's heart was truly in turmoil at this moment.

It is impossible to remain calm no matter what.

In his view, such a thing was simply impossible!

The Chitauri and his plot never even had a chance to unfold before the enemy discovered everything.

What the hell is this?

What exactly went wrong?

Loki was certain that there was nothing wrong on his side, but the Chitauri were unlikely to betray him or leak information to the Midgards!

Even Loki, the god of trickery known for his cunning and treachery, was at a loss for words at this moment.

How I know is not important.

"The important thing is that I know far more than you can imagine."

"So, are we going to continue playing spy games, or stop wasting each other's time and actually solve the problem?"

Lu Dan unconsciously put his hands behind his back, looking so spirited.

"The scepter!"

"The scepter is right here!"

However, what Lu Dan never expected was...

Just as he was basking in Loki's glory, Ant-Man from the future had already broken into the heavily guarded vault and appeared before the scepter.

"Good news, everyone! I've found the scepter! It's right before my eyes!"

The future Ant-Man immediately shared the good news with the other future Avengers via the communication channel.

The future Tony, future Captain America, and future Banner, who were hiding nearby, exchanged glances and felt a surge of excitement.

The first Infinity Stone has been found.

"Scott, can you take the scepter with you?"

Tony immediately asked, unable to wait any longer.

"I don't know. The security level here isn't a problem for me, but guys, this is the Infinity Stones."

"I've never shrunk an Infinity Stone before, and I don't know if I can succeed."

The future Ant-Man expressed his concerns.

If he cannot shrink the scepter, then he will have no way to steal it without anyone noticing, and he will alert the enemy.

"Scott, don't make any rash moves."

The future Captain America, who always seeks stability, solemnly reminds the future Ant-Man, "Your task now is simply to locate the Infinity Stones, not to retrieve them."

"What a pity."

Tony couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "The defenses of this base are no problem for us. Even if Scott can't shrink the scepter, I'm confident I can take it with me."

"And then what?"

In the future, Captain America also argued confidently, "We'll alert them, make S.H.I.E.L.D. prepared, and it won't be so easy for us to take the Cube."

"Tony, I think we really should play it safe."

Banner also expressed his opinion in the future.

The future Tony's personality will be less sharp and edgy than the current Tony's. At the very least, he will understand teamwork and will no longer be as willful and self-centered.

Although he felt this was indeed a great opportunity, he did not act unilaterally but instead chose to listen to his teammates' opinions.

Moreover, what my teammates said actually makes sense.

Without further ado, Tony quickly connected to the S.H.I.E.L.D. base's network and gave Friday an order.

The goal is to crack its system by Friday and find the location of the Cosmic Cube.

With Friday's abilities, doing something like this would be a piece of cake.

The other party quickly found out and informed Future Tony of the relevant information.

"Alright, little cricket."

Future Tony immediately relayed this information to Future Ant-Man: "Not long ago, Nick Fury put a 'suitcase' in another vault. I suspect that's the Tesseract."

Then, Future Tony told Future Ant-Man the location of the other vault.

"clear!"

"I'll go check right away!"

The future Ant-Man immediately responded and easily entered the vault that the future Tony had mentioned, where he immediately discovered the box.

"Okay, everyone, I've found the box."

"Next, I'll go into the box to confirm if it's a Rubik's Cube."

After Ant-Man finished speaking to his companions, he pressed the button again, and he shrunk to another size.

He squeezed through the gap into the box, and an enormous blue cube appeared before him.

"We've won again, guys!"

The future Ant-Man immediately shouted with joy.

The future Avengers were also greatly encouraged.

When the future Avengers discovered that they had arrived in a parallel world with many deviations, they felt a heavy weight in their hearts.

Unexpectedly, things went even more smoothly than expected, and they found two Infinity Stones so quickly.

"Roger that, Scott, retreat first!"

Future Captain America then summoned Future Ant-Man back.

The future Avengers quickly assembled and began to formulate further action plans.

Meanwhile, Nick Fury, inside the secret S.H.I.E.L.D. base, was still busy exchanging words with Loki.

They tried to persuade Loki to abandon his doomed plan to invade New York, while also intending to extract relevant intelligence from him.

What related information?

Naturally, it's information related to purple sweet potato extract.

The diary clearly states that Loki chose to invade New York entirely because he was tricked by the purple sweet potato.

In addition, there's the issue of Black Widow being mind-controlled by Loki.

This isn't just about Black Widow alone.

Without figuring this out, Lu Dan has no way of knowing whether the other Avengers are credible.

This is actually a very important issue for braised eggs as well.

But who is Loki?

God of Deception!

Even though they were initially caught off guard by Lu Dan's extraordinary intelligence and Lu Dan controlled the pace and the situation.

But how could Nick Fury possibly have him under his control?

Compared to Nick Fury, that old fox, Loki is an even more seasoned old fox!

In conclusion, the verbal battle between the two sides was quite exciting.

"If you want to read the newspaper to pass the time or something, I can accommodate you."

"After all, you are a god, and you deserve preferential treatment."

After saying that to Loki, Nick Fury left without a word.

Despite wasting so much breath on Loki this time, and not achieving the desired result, the braised eggs still yielded some gains.

The few pieces of information, some true and some false, about the purple sweet potato spirit were important to Lu Dan, but they weren't the most urgent things to deal with.

The most pressing issue for Nick Fury right now is undoubtedly the Black Widow problem.

Regarding this issue, Lu Dan has already obtained the relevant information from Loki through intelligence exchange.

According to Loki, breaking Black Widow's mind control is actually very simple; all you need to do is touch her with your scepter.

Given Nick Fury's suspicious nature, and the fact that he was facing Loki, the god of mischief, it was impossible for him to believe him so easily.

However, this did not prevent Nick Fury from making a very pleasant decision:

First, conduct some experiments on other insignificant, random agents.

Moreover, from the latest batch of diary spoilers, Nick Fury has indeed deduced an important piece of information:

There's a high chance that the Mind Stone is hidden inside Loki's scepter.

It's quite possible that the other side controlled Black Widow's mind through the scepter.

Subsequent experiments proved that the analysis of braised eggs was correct.

When Lu Dan picked up the scepter and touched a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, he discovered that he had gained the ability to manipulate other people's minds.

It's about making the other person your puppet, breaking free from that control, or doing nothing at all.

It all comes down to a single thought when making braised eggs.

At that moment, Lu Dan immediately understood that Loki was not lying to him.

He could indeed break Black Widow's mind control by simply touching her with his scepter.

Subsequent experiments further confirmed this.

Lu Dan could easily perform various operations on the "guinea pig" agent he had summoned.

Controlling the mind, releasing the mind from control, and so on.

Everything was so smooth and fluid, so perfectly rounded and natural.

It has to be said that this result still surprised Lu Dan quite a bit.

It's not surprising that Loki didn't lie; after all, such a lie is too easy to expose and really doesn't make much sense.

Instead, they were surprised that he could use Loki's artifacts at will.

It's important to know that Thor's hammer is only meant to be lifted by those who are qualified; its prestige is incredibly high.

But Loki's scepter is so lacking in prestige?

That's actually true.

When the Avengers traveled through time to retrieve the Infinity Stones, Captain America used Loki's scepter to defeat another version of himself.

In "What If," Black Widow even used her scepter to directly control Loki himself!

But at this point, none of that matters; the priority is to restore Black Widow.

Lu Dan then poked Black Widow in the chest with the scepter, subconsciously controlling the scepter to break free from its mental control over Black Widow.

Black Widow then returned to normal.

"I was in the bathroom, washing my hands, when suddenly I saw Loki in the mirror..."

Black Widow then recounted her encounter with Loki to Lu Dan in detail.

After hearing this, Lu Dan immediately understood.

Based on what Black Widow has revealed so far, Loki seems to only control Black Widow.

And that's all, except for the special agents Black Widow recruited.

They did not target the other Avengers.

In other words.

Whether it's Tony, Captain America, or the Red Guards, those people should still be trustworthy.

Furthermore, Nick Fury's possession of the scepter gave him even more confidence.

The rest is self-explanatory.

Nick Fury once again brought the Avengers together and used the scepter to verify everyone.

It was eventually proven that no one was controlled by Loki, and only then were they completely relieved.

"So, what should we do with Loki?"

"And his scepter?"

The Avengers then engaged in a heated discussion about this issue.

Although Loki has become a prisoner, the other party is no ordinary person, but a prisoner from Asgard, and moreover, Thor's brother.

This is indeed a tricky problem.

The rules and methods used to deal with ordinary criminals are completely inapplicable to Loki.

The Avengers discussed and discussed, but apart from temporarily keeping Loki under strict control, they couldn't come up with any better solution.

As for the Cosmic Cube and the Scepter?

It is not safe to keep them in this temporary base; they need to be moved to a more secure and well-maintained base as quickly as possible.

Because of the lesson learned from Loki's theft of the Tesseract, although Loki was indeed captured at this moment, his opponent was still a god, and no one could guarantee that Loki would not escape.

In addition, Lu Dan had already learned from the diary that future Avengers would travel through time to steal these two important items.

Therefore, Lu Dan attached great importance to this operation, deploying a very luxurious lineup, and even arranging for the Avengers to personally oversee and lead the team.

The Rubik's Cube and the scepter were moved into two of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s most secure and heavily guarded bases.

Although everything went smoothly without any problems, Lu Dan still dared not let his guard down.

The defenses of each base were not only extravagant, but they also once again sought technical support from Stark.

In short, you can never be too careful.

But Lu Dan didn't expect that even so, something still happened.

Just three days later.

Tony Stark, inside the luxurious villa, received a warning from Jarvis.

"Sir, the systems within the Delaware base have been compromised; a more sophisticated algorithm is rewriting its program!"

"The other party took control of the entire surveillance system within three seconds!"
