Zoom!
Except for Tony, the Avengers, along with the Transformers Hover-cannon, were boarding the only high-speed transport aircraft on the Heicarrier, heading towards Stark Tower.
Although Thor also wanted to depart first and teach his foolish brother a lesson, he was stopped by Steve. It was because Thor's record against Loki was somewhat disastrous, always being played and falling into the same traps.
In order to avoid losing a top combatant on their side before the battle even began, everyone unanimously agreed for Thor to depart with the main force.
It seems that the label of "Iron Dolt" is not easy to shake off in the minds of the Avengers.
As for Tony, who was deeply concerned about the safety of his own tower, he had already changed into his armor and rushed to the destination ahead of time.
Even before approaching Stark Tower, the display system on Tony's mask had already detected the mechanical devices on the rooftop, as well as the dazzling glow of the Tesseract.
"Sir, that device is now capable of self-sustaining power," J.A.R.V.I.S. reported.
"Shut it down, Dr. Selvig!" Tony shouted loudly from mid-air, floating above the rooftop.
But Dr. Selvig, who had clearly gone mad, turned his head and laughed maniacally, "Hahaha... It's already too late! Through it, we will witness a brand new universe!"
"Well..." Faced with Selvig, who had been driven insane by Loki, Tony no longer wasted words. He directly controlled the floating cannons around him and unleashed full firepower at the Tesseract.
Boom! The tremendous energy struck the device, causing a violent reaction. The powerful shockwave even knocked Tony out of the air.
"Sir, the barrier is pure energy. Its effect is the same as the energy barrier developed by Master Mark. It cannot be broken. The only difference is that the Tesseract possesses unlimited energy potential, meaning we have no way to stop it." J.A.R.V.I.S. analyzed.
"I've already figured that out, J.A.R.V.I.S. So now we need to switch to plan B." Catch the thief first. Since we can no longer prevent the opening of the portal, let's first take control of the commander and planner of this invasion.
After saying that, Tony suddenly turned the barrels, aiming all the floating cannons, along with the two palm-mounted repulsor cannons, at Loki, who was still watching the show nearby.
Zi—Boom!
But what completely caught Tony off guard was that Loki showed no signs of panic even at this moment.
Only to see that the figure hit by Tony's energy dissipated slowly after the smoke cleared. It turned out that he had only struck a magical clone left by Loki.
"Hahaha, Tony Stark, the top genius of Midgard. The scrap metal on you is quite interesting, but it falls short to the power of a god," Loki mocked Tony coldly from the rooftop.
"Hmph, don't speak too soon with your big words! J.A.R.V.I.S., activate all identification and tracking systems. Capture his position based on life signs, electromagnetic radiation, and energy reactions from all aspects. I don't believe he can evade all the scans," Tony said.
"Sir, according to the data provided by Baymax, the best way to deal with Loki is to lock onto his dark energy reaction. The fluctuations caused by his true self will be stronger than those of his clones," J.A.R.V.I.S. analyzed.
"Then lock onto the target and have all floating cannons open fire!" Tony commanded.
At Tony's order, J.A.R.V.I.S. took control of all the floating cannons. As expected, the Loki that appeared again in front of Tony was once again a clone.
Because at this moment, the direction aimed by all the floating cannons was not where Loki stood in front of Tony but a 45-degree angle to his left rear.
Lock onto the target, fire! J.A.R.V.I.S. swiftly carried out Tony's command. Dozens of energy beams shot out instantly, heading towards the confirmed target's location.
While Tony launched the attack, a powerful energy beam was emitted from the supposedly empty spot aimed by the floating cannons, colliding with Tony's attack.
In the end, the two energies canceled each other out, unable to produce the desired effect.
At this point, Loki was forced to reveal his form, and his interrupted magic caused the other clone to disappear as well.
"You've improved quite quickly. You can already find me. However, it's meaningless. The Chitauri army is about to come, and no one can stop it!" Loki said.
"Oh, is that so? We have a talented team here. We have your big brother, the God of Thunder, a super soldier who's been frozen and reborn, a green guy who's terrifying when he loses his temper, a young genius who invents all sorts of super equipment, two top-notch assassins with super gear, and me, Iron Man!
And you, my friend, have managed to annoy all of us!
Perhaps your army will arrive as scheduled, and maybe our current power is not enough to resist. But don't think you can rule and dominate Earth. If we can't protect the Earth, then you're the only target for all of us to seek revenge on.
Loki, you've been targeted by the Avengers. Surrender now, or wait for us to complete our revenge. The one who should be afraid is you—" Tony threatened confidently.
"If all of you are trapped by my army, will you still have the energy to focus on me?" Facing Tony's confident threat, Loki responded with a cold smile and unleashed an energy attack.
Boom!
The attack hit the building structure beneath Tony's feet, but Tony, who was fully focused, had already evaded the moment Loki made his move.
"J.A.R.V.I.S., how is Plan B progressing?" Tony didn't plan to capture Loki single-handedly. The reason he confronted Loki here was to buy time and execute the prearranged plan.
"It's here, sir."
Ding! Just as J.A.R.V.I.S. finished speaking, the elevator leading to the top floor of the building sounded the opening prompt. The life of an ordinary person is so simple and boring. Ordinary people would never imagine what it's like to have an elevator that can fit a car.
But at this moment, there really was such an elevator, and a sports car emerged from it.
Tony: "Thunderbolt, execute Plan B!"
Only the sound of rough electronic synthesis came from the driverless red sports car, "Received, master!"
