I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

"Moreover, the power you possess is beyond the comprehension of ordinary humans."

"If you can't even play a role in the battle against aliens."

"Then we ordinary people have even less room and means to resist aliens."

"You're going to form an Avengers alliance with them, not be their enemy."

"Although they joined the Avengers, their personalities and quirks are quite complex, and we are unable to communicate well with them."

"So S.H.I.E.L.D. really needs your help."

"Please lend us a hand, which will also help humanity on Earth. Please."

Coulson looked somewhat startled when he saw Captain America, Steve Rogers, and spoke with utmost seriousness and sincerity.

"I hope I can really do it..."

Steve calmed down a bit after hearing Coulson's words, paused for a moment, and then spoke.

Coulson is right. Black Widow and Hawkeye are super agents, but they are also very skilled, though only in handling special missions on Earth.

The enemies we face have never strayed beyond the realm of humanity.

Next, they will face an unknown enemy from outer space, which will require them to have even greater strength and skills to deal with it.

To be honest, Steve was starting to have some doubts about his own abilities and wasn't sure if he could be of any use in the upcoming battles, but he couldn't refuse Coulson's request for help.

"You definitely can, without a doubt."

"You have extremely high combat skills and a smart enough mind when facing battle."

Coulson breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had persuaded Steve, and said seriously.

Steve has made indelible contributions to America in the past and possesses superhuman strength, making him America's first superhero.

So Coulson has been a fan of Captain America for a long time.

Even if he didn't dare to dream of having the same power as Steve, he still hoped to contribute his own strength to America.

Although, at present, Steve's strength is indeed equivalent to that of an ordinary person compared to Dr. Banner, Tony Stark, Thor, and Harvey the Demon.

At least Steve can still be considered an ordinary person.

These people were completely helpless against the four mentioned above; they were like ants.

These beings, possessing power beyond human comprehension, could bring devastating disasters to humanity if they act recklessly.

Therefore, they desperately need someone who can help them build bridges with the rest of the Avengers.

As Americans, Bruce Banner and Tony Stark of the Avengers certainly held Steve Rogers in some respect.

Regardless of the amount of respect, even a little bit of it makes conversation possible.

"I know."

Steve sensed Coulson's affection and admiration for him, and found it difficult to say anything he couldn't do, so he could only say things that would put Coulson at ease.

"By the way, we made some modifications to your uniform."

"I also offered some design suggestions."

Coulson laughed when he heard Steve's words, which conveyed a sense of conviction, and said...

"My uniform?"

"Isn't the star and stripe design... a bit too outdated?"

When Steve heard Coulson mention his uniform and was exposed to a lot of modern knowledge and culture, he recalled the uniform he used to wear and had to admit that it was ugly and completely outdated.

He preferred his current casual jacket to that outfit, so he wanted to refuse.

"Given the current situation and the impending fierce battle."

"People may need a bit of the spirit of the past."

Coulson said with a somewhat heavy expression upon hearing this.

Although Tony Stark and the Hulk were willing to assemble this time, it boosted the Avengers' strength by several levels.

But even setting aside the question of whether the Hulk will go out of control, the most troublesome aspect of this enemy invading Earth is that they possess a means of controlling people's minds.

If Tony Stark were to be controlled, he might actually become the greatest threat to humanity.

Hopefully, Captain America Steve Rogers' dedication and spirit of justice will unite the rest of the Avengers and prevent the worst-case scenario from occurring.

"..."

When Steve heard Coulson say that, even though he didn't want to wear that old and outdated uniform anymore, he still couldn't bring himself to refuse.

Meanwhile, in a hidden underground research lab.

Loki connected his consciousness to the universe through the Mind Stone.

"The Chitauri are getting increasingly impatient."

A humanoid creature wearing a black cloak, alien armor, an ugly mask, and holding a scepter spoke.

"Tell them to control themselves."

"I will lead them in a glorious battle."

Loki saw the Chitauri and, though inwardly disdainful, didn't show it on his face, and spoke.

The Destroyer never returned from Earth, and he didn't believe the Chitauri would definitely be able to conquer Earth, but he wouldn't mind watching a good show.

"Battle?"

"Can crushing insects on Earth really be called a battle?"

The Chitauri general turned to look at Loki upon hearing his words, his tone filled with contempt.

"A glorious and easy battle."

"That is, your army is truly as invincible as you say."

Loki replied calmly upon hearing this.

"How dare you question us?"

"Question him?"

"Don't forget that it was he who gave you the scepter."

"To impart to you the truths of antiquity and to give you a new mission."

"When you are exiled and fail."

Upon hearing Loki's words, the Chitauri general glared at Loki with a hint of anger in his eyes.

"I was once a king, the king of Asgard, but I was betrayed."

Loki, upon hearing this person bring up his past humiliations, spoke loudly and with utmost seriousness.

"Your ambitions are truly petty and naive."

"We want more than just the blue planet; the Rubik's Cube will open up a much broader world."

When General Chitauri heard Loki's response, his words were full of contempt and disdain.

"Don't forget, the Rubik's Cube is still in my hands."

Loki spoke up after hearing this disdainful remark.

Chapter 172 Mutual Concerns

The instant Loki uttered those words, General Chitauri leaped dozens of meters across the battlefield and appeared before Loki, his right claw nearly piercing Loki's eyes.

I didn't mean to threaten you.

"But as long as the portal hasn't been opened yet."

“Your army is not under my command, so everything you say is just empty talk.”

Seeing that he had angered General Chitauri, Loki immediately backed down and spoke up.

"Asgardians, go and start a war."

"But if you fail, the Rubik's Cube will fall into someone else's hands."

"No matter where you hide, we will find you."

Do you think you understand the taste of pain?

"Compared to him, pain is as sweet as honey."

Upon hearing these words, General Chitauri withdrew his hand, slowly walked around Loki, came behind Loki, put his arm around Loki's shoulder, and whispered in Loki's ear.

Then, with a slap to Loki's face, Loki's consciousness was instantly transported back to his body.

After Loki's consciousness returned to his body, his eyes kept flashing.

If he hadn't encountered Thanos, a figure whose name resounds throughout the universe, he wouldn't have dared to return to Earth and cause trouble.

Because the monster capable of utterly destroying the Destroyer is on Earth.

However, through Harvey's conversation with Tony Stark, Loki can confirm that Harvey is not entirely devoted to Earth.

The reason I intervened last time was entirely because Tony Stark got involved.

However, if too many planets are destroyed, it is possible that Harvey will be attracted.

Now let him see for himself whether the Chitauri army is really as powerful as they say.

As for General Chitauri's threat, Loki didn't take it seriously at all.

Because Loki had already planned his escape route before the plan was even implemented; planning an escape route before the battle had always been his principle.

Only by ensuring one's own safety can one implement all the schemes one has in mind without worry; otherwise, if one dies, everything will be in vain.

Meanwhile, Steve boarded a fighter jet and arrived at a large aircraft carrier.

"Go get the captain's equipment."
