With this slight confusion, Zhou Cheng continued to observe the surroundings.
He discovered that besides Black Widow, there were six or seven heavily armed men in the next room. Each one looked well-trained and ready for action, likely controlled by Loki. However, Dr. Selvig, who was also controlled in the movie, was nowhere to be seen.
In general, this "lineup" was quite different from what Zhou Cheng remembered from the movie.
"Alright." Zhou Cheng shook his head slightly and sighed. "It seems this universe is probably not Universe 199999."
But such a thing wasn't significant to him. Reality had proven that even if this wasn't the movie universe, some critical events still followed a similar trajectory, just with some deviations. With Zhou Cheng's current strength, he could easily handle the Avengers, including the Hulk and Thor.
Zhou Cheng wasn't worried at all. Without hesitation, he flapped his wings and flew towards Loki.
"Have you found the scientists I need?" At this moment, Loki, unaware of the imminent crisis, asked Black Widow seriously.
Black Widow took out a tablet and tapped on it a few times, displaying information about a scientist.
"Selvig. In this field, he's the top expert apart from Stark. He's the best I could find," Black Widow briefly introduced.
Loki glanced at Selvig's information and ordered, "What are you waiting for? Haven't I already given you the manpower?"
"Understood!" Black Widow put away the tablet, turned, and walked towards the door, ready to take those enlisted by Loki to capture Dr. Selvig.
Clang!
But Black Widow had barely reached the door before it was violently pushed open from the outside. A masked individual in uniform appeared before her eyes.
Hmm?
Loki couldn't help but turn his head at the commotion, frowning at the uninvited guest. Someone had broken in? Were they coming for him?
"Satan!" Black Widow recognized Zhou Cheng immediately and understood his purpose. He was here to reclaim the Tesseract on behalf of her former superior.
"Sir, this is an extremely dangerous individual! Protect the Tesseract!" Black Widow warned Loki, suddenly on high alert.
So he really was here for me?
Loki glanced at Zhou Cheng, hidden behind the mask, and smirked dismissively. Extremely dangerous? He is a god. How dangerous could a Midgardian be?
Those few who could wield his brother's hammer or build an iron suit were rare exceptions. Loki, in his arrogance, didn't take Zhou Cheng seriously, despite Black Widow's alarm.
"Natasha, you know you're no match for me," Zhou Cheng said, spreading his hands in a light-hearted tone. "So why not step aside and not block my way?"
Loyal to Loki, Black Widow swiftly drew her gun, ready to attack Zhou Cheng. But would Zhou Cheng let her succeed?
She had barely drawn her gun when Zhou Cheng casually waved his hand. An invisible force acted upon her, sending her flying back into the wall with a heavy thud, leaving her in a miserable heap on the ground.
Loki's smirk faded, replaced by a look of surprise. This intruder was indeed formidable, strong enough to justify Natasha's warning.
"Interesting," Loki said, eyeing Zhou Cheng. "An ant among ants becomes convinced of its strength when it can defeat the others. But it forgets that an ant is still just an ant, no match for a human's shoe..."
Whoosh!
Before Loki could finish his speech, he stopped mid-sentence, his face starting to twitch. Zhou Cheng had already waved his hand, pulling the Tesseract right into his grasp.
Loki: "..."
This ant was truly audacious, snatching the Tesseract while he was talking!
"That's not something you can touch!" Loki sneered, dropping his elegance. With a cold snort, he stood up, his scepter appearing in his hand and aimed at Zhou Cheng.
"Put it down, and no one will get hurt," Loki warned icily.
"I think so too," Zhou Cheng nodded in agreement. If Loki dropped his weapon and didn't attack, he wouldn't get hurt. That made sense!
Seeing Zhou Cheng's nonchalant response, Loki wasted no words and immediately fired an energy blast from his scepter. Zhou Cheng calmly raised his hand, using the Shinra Tensei ability. A shield of repulsive force appeared, deflecting Loki's attack harmlessly to the side.
Loki's expression turned grim as he began to truly regard Zhou Cheng with respect.
With such ease blocking his own attack, it seems that Midgard truly has a remarkable ant!
While Zhou Cheng's mindset changed, Loki's hands didn't remain idle.
He pointed his scepter at Zhou Cheng again, intending to continue his attack. But Zhou Cheng waved his hand once more, and an invisible force struck Loki.
Bang!
Loki's body shook violently and, like the Black Widow earlier, was knocked to the ground by Zhou Cheng from a distance. Unlike Black Widow, who was still dizzy from the impact, Loki, being a god, got up quickly, unharmed.
His eyes fixed on Zhou Cheng, and a signature wicked smile appeared on his lips, tinged with coldness. "OK!"
In the next moment, Loki charged at Zhou Cheng with his scepter, swinging it down hard.
Smack!
A light noise followed, and Loki's scepter was frozen in mid-air. Zhou Cheng nonchalantly extended another hand and grabbed the scepter, preventing Loki from moving it even an inch.
"What!"
Loki couldn't remain calm anymore. If Zhou Cheng's earlier Shinra Tensei attack was a form of magic, his grip now demonstrated that this mage also possessed incredible strength.
Magic users weren't much to Loki, given his own formidable magic. But a mage with strength equal to a warrior forced him to take Zhou Cheng seriously. Loki never expected to encounter such an individual on Midgard.
Bang!
While Loki was taken aback, Zhou Cheng didn't hesitate. He kicked Loki, sending him flying.
The scepter fell into Zhou Cheng's hand. Zhou Cheng knew it contained the Infinity Stone, but to him, it was useless with no ambition to exploit it. Moreover, the Infinity Stone invited endless trouble, so he discarded it like trash.
This gesture infuriated Loki even further, feeling humiliated. He charged at Zhou Cheng again.
Whoosh!
Zhou Cheng spread his wings and launched an attack on Loki.
Ssh ssh ssh ssh!
Countless feathers shot out, enveloping Loki and knocking him into a wall, creating a hole. He fell to the ground like a dead dog. Despite being hit multiple times, Loki, with his divine resilience, struggled to his feet.
Seeing this, Zhou Cheng casually waved towards Loki.
Boom!
The entire wall collapsed, burying Loki under the debris.
Boom!
Soon, the rubble was blown apart, stones flying everywhere. Loki, looking miserable, crawled out. But the masked man who had stolen the Tesseract was nowhere in sight.
Swish!
Loki's face darkened, almost dripping with anger.
Why is this happening? Why is there such a powerful person on Midgard?
Who is that? Who is he really?
Zhou Cheng didn't know nor care about Loki's thoughts. Just as the masked man fled with the Tesseract, Zhou Cheng received a call from Nick Fury.
He wasn't surprised; he expected to be monitored by Fury once he started moving. Fury, being S.H.I.E.L.D.'s director, wouldn't have missed his scuffle with Loki either.
"Satan, I'm three blocks away. Bring the Tesseract over."
Nick Fury's voice came through the receiver, giving Zhou Cheng an address.
Zhou Cheng changed direction and swiftly reached Fury's temporary base.
"Here, the thing you wanted."
Zhou Cheng casually handed the Tesseract to Fury as if it was nothing.
Fury wasn't sentimental, swiftly taking the box and opening it, revealing the glowing blue cube inside.
"Whoo!"
Fury let out a sigh of relief.
"I think I made a mistake. I shouldn't have just asked you to bring back the Tesseract. I should have asked you to bring Loki too."
Lifting his head, Fury half-joked, half-seriously.
Indeed, the Tesseract was recovered, and thanks to Satan, Loki's location was revealed. But capturing Loki was another challenge.
"That's not my problem," Zhou Cheng nonchalantly shrugged. "However, if you have another task, I'm game."
"Keep your phone handy. If I decide to, I'll contact you."
Fury didn't give a definitive answer, as he wasn't relying solely on Satan. He had learned important intel from their past encounters and was preparing a trap for Loki.
Nodding to Fury, Zhou Cheng opened his wings and flew off without further words.
Meanwhile, in Fury's command center, he began personally overseeing the operation to capture Loki.
Swish, swish, swish!
Unbeknownst to Zhou Cheng or Fury, near Stark Tower, several familiar figures suddenly materialized as flashes of light dissipated.
