Assembly (3 in 1)

Nick Fury arrived at the boxing gym and looked at Steve, who was smashing the punching bag. He whispered, "Are you still adjusting, Captain?"

"Sir, is there a mission?" Steve asked.

Nick Fury nodded in response and said quietly, "You can make your decision after reading this document."

Steve picked up a punching bag and walked toward his residence with the document. After leaving the boxing gym, Nick Fury came to Yihu's residence and lightly knocked on the door. Yi Hu, who was watching TV, used telekinesis to twist the doorknob and didn't take his eyes off the beauty pageant.

"You seem relaxed. The aliens have declared war on us! I need you! The people of this city need you!" Nick Fury said.

Yi Hu raised an eyebrow without looking away from the TV and replied sarcastically, "What's it got to do with me? Even if the sky falls, there will be taller people to bear it."

Nick Fury sighed slightly in his heart. Dealing with someone like Yi Hu was undoubtedly the most difficult. But this time, their enemy was Loki, and Fury was unsure if Asgard would get involved. With Yi Hu's help, their chances of success would increase significantly, and Fury didn't want to call Carol back for just this. After thinking for a moment, Nick Fury gritted his teeth and said, "One million!"

"It's not about the money!" Yuhuo replied.

"Ten million!"

Yuhuo raised an eyebrow and said helplessly, "This has nothing to do with money. I don't want to get involved in this mess."

Frowning, Nick Fury whispered, "Do you have any intelligence?"

There was no way Nick Fury could avoid thinking about the extraterrestrial identity of the other party. A series of conspiracies and plots flashed through his mind. Yi Hu retracted his gaze from the TV, no longer paying attention to the advertisements being broadcasted, and turned to look at Nick Fury. He said softly, "I'll sell you a piece of information for ten million."

Nick Fury's eyes flickered for a moment, hesitated for a second, and then nodded. Yuhuo leaned back on the sofa and said calmly, "The Chitauri army will join this battle. The presence behind them is too terrifying, and I don't want to get involved in the fight between you."

Nick Fury deeply looked at Yuhuo and spoke in a calm tone, "I will transfer the money to you later. We can still protect the Earth without you. Worst case scenario, it's just death!" After finishing his words, he stood up and walked toward the door. Seeing that Yuhuo didn't show any intention to stop him, Nick Fury gritted his teeth and placed his hand on the doorknob.

"Boss, we shouldn't stand idly by!" Jessica's voice came, and Nick Fury turned around with a serious expression, looking at Jessica standing at the staircase. He said sternly, word by word, "I don't care what you used to do, but this time, the Earth is in crisis and we need you!"

Jessica felt her blood boiling. Previously, going out with Matt to do heroic deeds had made her feel a sense of responsibility, which was why she spoke to mediate upon hearing about the alien army.

Yi Hu looked at Jessica, who was suddenly filled with enthusiasm from Nick Fury's few words, and spoke unfriendly, "Shut up and go back! This matter is not as simple as you think!"

Pouting, Jessica stood still, showing a stubborn look as she stared at Yuhuo. Seeing this, Nick Fury quickly said, "If you don't want to contribute to

the Earth, I understand. But you can't stop others from doing so!"

"That's enough! Stop showing off your eloquence to me!" Yi Hu smashed the coffee table in front of him, stood up, and stared at Jessica coldly. "Go back!"

Jessica hesitated for a moment, her eyes gradually firming up. She stared at Yi Hu and said in a resolute tone, "Everyone is responsible for the war in the universe!"

 A trace of hesitation flashed in Jessica's eyes, and Nick Fury whispered, "Everyone is responsible for the war in the universe!"

"Boss, I want to go help them!"

Yi Hu closed his eyes, his chest slightly rising and falling. After experiencing several worlds, he no longer had the kindness he used to have. Faced with a conflict of war without personal interest, his first thought was to stay out of it. The Ancient One, the X-Men, the Brotherhood, the Hellfire Club, and others wouldn't let the Chitauri destroy the Earth. The normal Thanos wouldn't easily come to Earth either.

Yi Hu didn't want to get involved in a war that was destined to fail from the beginning. But Jessica's attitude made him hesitate. She was his friend, and Yi Hu didn't want to quarrel with her over such a small matter. After a few seconds of silence, Yi Hu opened his eyes and looked at Nick Fury, whispering, "This war was started by you. Powerful alien races are eyeing the Cosmic Cube. The energy generated by your weapon research with it is like a beacon in the dark for them. Previously, they didn't dare to act recklessly because of Asgard's Rainbow Bridge. But now that the Rainbow Bridge is destroyed, they have no constraints."

Yi Hu raised his hand to stop Nick Fury, who was about to speak, and said in a low voice, "Just this once. I won't clean up after others."

The corners of Nick Fury's mouth curved up. He felt like he had found Yuhuo's weak point. If he couldn't fool an alien, could he not fool a woman? He took out a document and said softly, "This is the information I've compiled. Mr. Yi Hu can take a look at it."

"No need," Yi Hu waved his hand and said indifferently, "I'm not interested in this intelligence."

Jessica quickly walked up and took the document from Nick Fury's hand, watching him leave. As she turned around, she saw her boss's gloomy face.

"Protecting the Earth is everyone's responsibility!"

Mumbling a few words, Jessica held the document and ran upstairs. Yi Hu sighed and sat back on the sofa, looking at the communicator left by Nick Fury with disdain. He decided to stay on the sidelines during the major battle. There were too many big shots in this city, and he wasn't a lumbar disc that needed to stand out so prominently.

In her room, Jessica looked at the information in the document and felt like she had wasted her years. There was nothing more satisfying than fighting bad guys, especially aliens. She decided to tell Matt about this when she went out to find the cat later.

Sitting in the driver's seat of his beloved car, Nick Fury decided to focus on Jessica and try to convince her to join the Avengers. That way, he could exploit Yi Hu's extraterrestrial intelligence channel.

Steve sat in the Quinjet, reviewing the information about Stark and the others. Coulson, sitting opposite him, kept finding topics to talk about. He had heard legends about Steve since he was young, and joining S.H.I.E.L.D. was to fulfil his ideals. At this moment, seeing his idol alive, Steve felt like a thousand ducks were quacking in his ears.

"Can you sign my collector's cards?"

Steve looked at the excited Coulson and nodded slowly. He wouldn't refuse such a small request. During the war, there were even people who asked him to sign their underwear. Thinking of that, Steve couldn't help but remember the cold gaze of Peggy. His lips curled up slightly.

The Quinjet slowly landed on an aircraft carrier, and as soon as Steve got off, he saw Banner looking a bit lost in the distance. He walked up to him and extended his hand, saying in a deep voice, "Hello, Dr. Banner!"

"Uh... hello," Banner smiled and shook Steve's hand. The aircraft carrier slowly ascended and entered stealth mode. Looking at the busy crowd, Banner whispered, "Where's my lab? Maybe I can help narrow down the scope for you."

Nick Fury glanced at Natasha, giving her a signal. At the same time, Dr. Erik Selvig created the reflective casing, but they needed the element iridium to stabilize the Tesseract.

"What do you need?"

Loki walked over to Hawkeye, who was preparing to depart, with a calm expression on his face. Barton picked up his bow and arrow and said in a serious tone, "A bit of chaos and an iris"

Inside the airborne aircraft carrier, the agent responsible for tracking Loki shouted loudly, "Director, we've located the target in the surveillance cameras at 28 Kuning Street!"

Nick Fury approached to confirm that it was indeed Loki, then turned to Steve and said, "Captain, it's your turn to go now!"

As Loki entered the venue and found his target, he inserted the iris extractor into their eye socket, helping Hawkeye remotely open the safe containing the iridium. Just as Loki was proclaiming his dominance, Steve descended from the sky, holding his shield.

Loki raised his scepter and fired energy beams at Steve, but Steve deflected them back with his shield, sending Loki flying. After a brief exchange, neither of them could defeat the other. At that moment, Stark, piloting his armor and accompanied by background music, descended from the sky and sent Loki flying with a repulsor blast. He then activated all his weapons, aiming at Loki and said in a deep voice, "Bring it on, reindeer games!"

Loki, seeing this, removed his horned helmet, dissipating the Asgardian armor, and raised his hands, showing a harmless expression. Stark put away his weapons and said softly, "Good boy!"

The two of them, along with Loki, boarded the Quinjet driven by Natasha. Steve leaned closer to Tony and whispered, "Something doesn't feel right. He was quite formidable just now. How could he surrender so easily?"

Stark glanced at Loki in the corner with a hint of disdain on his face and said calmly, "I didn't expect you to be so agile at your age. How do you usually exercise? Aerobics, perhaps?"

Steve's expression immediately turned ugly upon hearing this. The goodwill he had towards Tony due to Howard Stark disappeared in an instant. At the same time, Heimdall, who had been observing everything, reported the situation to Odin.

Upon learning that Loki was not dead, a trace of joy flashed in Odin's eyes. Moreover, the infinite power of the Cosmic Cube could be used to repair the Rainbow Bridge. With this in mind, Odin asked Thor to inform Loki of the situation.

The two of them arrived at the depths of Asgard. Thor looked at the dark energy device in front of him and immediately understood that Odin intended to use it to send him to Earth. Feeling the violent dark energy, Thor whispered, "Father, can you control it?"

Odin's cheek twitched slightly, feeling offended. He replied in an unpleasant tone, "Though there will be some consequences, it's not a big problem. Remember to bring Loki and the Cosmic Cube back. Without it, you won't be able to return to Asgard!"

As he finished speaking, Odin began manipulating the immense and violent dark energy to open a portal for Thor. Ten seconds later, Odin's grip on his divine power weakened, and his hands trembled incessantly. He had underestimated the ferocity of the dark energy. To protect Thor, he had expended a considerable amount of divine power, which would be difficult to recover in a short time.

Meanwhile, a flash of lightning passed above the Quinjet. Steve, looking at the trembling Loki with disdain, said, "What's wrong? Are you scared of a little thunder?"

"I'm afraid of the person who comes with the thunder!" Loki's mind was filled with the fear of being dominated by Mjolnir. Stark's eyes narrowed as he remembered the identity of that person.

Thor landed on top of the Quinjet, and upon hearing the commotion, Stark put on his helmet, opened the hatch, and looked at the hovering figure in the air. Without thinking, he activated the palm repulsor to blast Thor away

, then grabbed Loki and ran.

Stark, feeling indignant from being hit, immediately pursued them. Steve pondered for a moment, strapped on a parachute, and followed suit. Today, he was determined to stand up for the elderly!

Natasha, who was piloting the jet, shook her head at the scene. Thor forcefully slammed Loki to the ground and said in a low voice, "I'm not in the mood to play with you. Tell me where the Cosmic Cube is."

"You should thank me instead. The destruction of the Rainbow Bridge gathered so much dark energy from the All-Father to send you to your precious Earth," Loki replied, his face wearing a smug smile.

Seeing Loki's punchable expression, Thor became furious and grabbed him, roaring, "I thought you were dead! We mourned for you, even Father..."

"He is your father!" Loki pushed Thor away and said in a low voice, "He must have told you about my true heritage!"

Tears welled up in Thor's eyes as he spoke in a sorrowful tone, "We grew up together, played together, fought together. Do you remember none of that?"

"I only remember living in your shadow," Loki turned away, tears in his eyes, and said softly, "I've always wanted a fair competition with you. The throne should have been mine!"

Thor, feeling angry, responded, "So you came to wreak havoc on the world I cherish, to fulfill your own fantasies? Dream on, Loki. I will protect Earth!"

"Why can't I rule over a race that only knows how to kill each other? During my exile, I learned many things..." Loki's face showed a mad expression.

Thor, grabbing Loki's collar, said in a low voice, "Let go of your unrealistic desires, hand over the Cosmic Cube, and come back home with me!"

Upon hearing the words "come back home," Loki's eyes flickered. When he floated in the silent void of space, he constantly yearned to return home. However, he didn't want to return in such a pitiful state. He wanted to return to Midgard as a ruler and show Odin his true abilities.

"The Cube is not in my possession," Loki said, with a mix of tears and smiles, looking at Thor. He continued calmly, "I had it moved, and I don't know its current location."

Thor raised Mjolnir and said in a grave voice, "Listen to me, brother!" Before he could finish his sentence, he was knocked away by the armor piloted by Stark. Loki suppressed his inner joy and said softly, "I'm listening, little brother..."

Stark, holding onto Thor, fell off the cliff, feeling that this so-called god was nothing special. With his armor, he was confident that he could defeat the god. Thor's eyes narrowed, and he swung Mjolnir, striking Tony in the chest, sending him flying ten meters away.

Stark endured the pain and checked the damage report sent by J.A.R.V.I.S. His face darkened, and he stood up, aiming palm repulsors at Thor. Thor's anger surged within him. Although the attack couldn't penetrate his defenses, it hurt...

Thor raised Mjolnir high and summoned lightning, striking Stark. Sparks flew, and after hearing J.A.R.V.I.S. report a 400% increase in energy, Stark's mouth curled up slightly as he said in a low voice, "Not bad!"

Afterwards, he blasted Thor away with a single shot. After a fierce battle, Thor put down Mjolnir and engaged Stark in hand-to-hand combat. With the power of the gods, he crushed Stark's armor, causing sparks to fly. Steve descended from the sky and separated the two.

Seeing someone intervening, Thor let go of Stark and summoned Mjolnir back, his gaze cold and stern as he looked at the two. Steve, observing the situation, whispered

"I don't know what you're up to!"

Thor didn't want to escalate the conflict with the people of Earth, so he quickly responded, "I came here to stop Loki's scheme."

"Then prove it with your actions!" Steve's gaze sharpened as he stared at Thor and said in a low voice, "Put down the hammer right now!"

Stark quickly interjected, "That's not a good idea!"

Upon hearing Steve's request to let go of his beloved hammer, Thor's face darkened. He casually threw his hammer, knocking Stark aside, and leapt into the sky, raising Mjolnir high, preparing to teach Steve a lesson.

The shield and the hammer collided, creating a powerful shockwave that blew away the surrounding trees. Thor looked at Steve, who remained unscathed and admired his bravery. He liked making friends with people like him.

The three of them brought Loki back to the aircraft carrier and had a team of agents escort him to the prison. As they passed Banner's lab, Loki's mouth curled up slightly. He had learned about Banner's combat capabilities from the internet.

Nick Fury approached the prison cell and said in a low voice, "Don't even think about trying to escape, or you'll be falling from nine thousand meters!"

Loki glanced at the open passage beneath the cell and said softly, "I hope this wasn't specifically prepared for me!"

Nick Fury responded in a low voice, "Of course not. It was made for something even more powerful than you!"

"I've heard rumors..." Loki turned around, looked at the camera, and said slowly, "A foolish beast pretending to be a man, how panicked must you be to consider such a beast your savior?!"

Nick Fury stared at Loki, his voice deliberate as he said, "You threatened to wage war against our world, stole uncontrollable power, and enjoyed slaughter while preaching peace. It is your actions that forced me to resort to any means necessary. And you will pay the price for it!"

Loki shrugged indifferently and began to wander around the prison cell. Inside the research lab, Yihu, who was sitting there, looked at the smiling Banner and said in a low voice, "I think he's talking about himself. While he talks about world peace, he secretly uses the Cosmic Cube to create powerful weapons. And when things go wrong, he forces us to clean up the mess for him in the name of humanity."

Hearing Yihu's words through his earpiece, Nick Fury's face darkened, losing his mood for interrogating Loki. Stark glanced at Yihu, who seemed idle, and whispered, "How do you know they're researching powerful weapons?"

Yihu shrugged and whispered, "That thing is usually just a small cube. But when stimulated, it emits energy fluctuations like a beacon in the dark night, illuminating the path for extraterrestrial civilizations."

Yihu walked slowly towards the Scepter, picked it up, and carefully observed it. Suddenly, a line of text appeared in front of him: "Do you want to use the Fusion Card to absorb the Mind Stone?"

Looking at the options in front of him, Yihu's heart surged. When he opened the store, he noticed that there was now a Fusion Card next to the Ability Extraction Card, which could absorb the abilities of certain items into his body. Initially, Yihu only wanted to use the Ability Extraction Card to extract the power of the Phoenix Force. But now, he thought he could take the path of the six Infinity Stones.

With all six Infinity Stones, Thanos reached the pinnacle of the multiverse, able to manipulate gods and entities in different dimensions such as Eternity and Death. Although the Phoenix Force could also reach the pinnacle of the multiverse, it required time. Thinking about the scene of fusing the six stones, Yihu couldn't help but feel excited.

After contemplating for a while, he decided to fuse the Cosmic Cube first. This way, Asgard wouldn't be able to repair the Rainbow Bridge in a short period of time. The pressure Odin placed on him was too immense, and it would be best to avoid meeting him if possible

Yihu's lips curled up slightly, filled with anticipation for the upcoming battle. It concerned his own interests, and he couldn't afford not to be invested. Thor calmly placed Mjolnir on the table and said, "Yihu is right. My father left the Cosmic Cube on Earth to hide it."

With Thor's support, everyone immediately gained more confidence. Stark smiled and approached Yihu, whispering, "What did Nick Fury have to give up to make you take action?"

Yihu gave Stark a disdainful glance and said with dissatisfaction, "Do you think I'm the kind of person who only cares about personal gain?"

Stark looked Yihu up and down, then nodded emphatically. Yihu felt a slight tightness in his chest. Thor, who was beside him, had a good impression of Yihu. His combat skills and knowledge were extraordinary, giving Thor a feeling of facing a peer in the realm of gods.

Thor walked up to Yihu, wrapped his arm around his shoulder, and whispered, "Let's go grab a drink later. Ever since we parted last time, I've been yearning for Earth."

Yihu rolled his eyes and said unkindly, "I guess you're craving for cola and hamburgers..."

"Hahaha."

Hearing the laughter from everyone, Thor subconsciously tightened his grip on Yihu's shoulder, feeling the urge to strangle this guy who spoke the truth. Steve whispered to Thor, "Loki is buying time. Do you have any intelligence?"

Upon hearing Steve's words, Thor slowly released his grip and gave Yihu a warning look, signaling him not to speak recklessly. Then he whispered, "He has a large army of Chitauri. I believe he plans to use the Cosmic Cube to open a portal and lead the army in invading Earth. My guess is that he will eventually hand over the Cube to them."

After pondering for a while, Banner said in a low voice, "I don't think we should focus on Loki. He's just a full-blown madman."

"You watch your words!" Thor glared at Banner and said in a deep voice, "No matter how savage Loki may be, he is the Prince of Asgard, my brother!"

"Is he?" Yihu's mouth curled up slightly as he said in a low voice, "I remember he killed quite a few people in Old Bridge Town last time. Is this how Asgard rules the Nine Realms?"

Thor's momentum faltered at Yihu's words, and he coughed twice, saying in a low voice, "Actually... he was adopted."

Natasha smiled and left the lab. Nick Fury had used encrypted communication to ask her to interrogate Loki. After a brief exchange, Natasha was infiltrated by Loki's manipulative skills. Although she learned about Loki's plans, her inner turmoil couldn't calm down.

Yihu didn't want to provoke Thor, lest he would end up fighting against him when his heartstrings were touched by the Mind Stone. He casually found an excuse to leave the lab.

After Yihu left, Stark picked up a stun baton and foolishly poked Banner. Concerned that Banner might go into a rampage, Steve quickly stepped in to stop it. After a heated argument, Stark voiced his distrust in Nick Fury.

This topic piqued Banner's interest. He disliked the profession of being an agent, as it reminded him of many unpleasant things. Steve, too, was struck by Tony's words, as he didn't have a deep understanding of Nick Fury. Accepting this mission was purely out of boredom.

At this moment, being instigated by Stark, Steve's curiosity emerged. After leaving the lab, he quickly made his way to the secure storage, looking at the energy weapons inside. Yihu and Thor's words echoed in his mind. He had previously paid little attention to it, but now the truth was right in front of him, and he couldn't help but believe it.

Thinking about Nick Fury's unauthorized research on the Cosmic Cube, which attracted the attention of extraterrestrial races, Steve grew increasingly frustrated. He had worked hard to retrieve the Cosmic Cube from the Red Skull's hands, sacrificing a date in the process, only to end

up with this outcome.

The more Steve thought about it, the angrier he became. He picked up an energy weapon and headed towards the lab. Meanwhile, Nick Fury, who was in the command room, received a message from Natasha that she was interrogating Loki. He was about to go to the lab when he heard that the database had been breached.
