Black Widow, Iron Man, and Captain America soon returned to the space carrier.
They immediately reported the battle to Fury and the speculation that Loki might have helpers.
Fury gathered everyone for a meeting to discuss.
"Hill, please immediately list the places Loki has robbed these days and see if there is any correlation."
"Yes."
Detailed reports on the cases were listed on the screen, and then the computer program automatically analyzed them, constantly looking for correlations from locations, people, casualties, etc.
Dr. Banner suddenly said, "There's something strange here. Loki robbed precious metal banks, and the stolen metals were all iridium."
"Hmm..." Iron Man frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Iridium has many uses. As far as I know, there are at least dozens of industrial applications that use it. However, these are probably not what Loki wants. He doesn't want to come to Earth to open a factory, does he?"
"Then, there is only one more reliable possibility left."
"Particle physics uses iridium in the production process of antiprotons. High-intensity proton beams are directed at a 'conversion target' that must be very dense. It can more stably withstand the temperature rise caused by the radiating particle beam. Shockwave."
Banner's eyes lit up when he heard this: "If there is enough energy to open the Einstein-Rosen Bridge, then iridium will be an essential element, and it can be used as a stabilizing buffer..."
"Ahem..." Fury gestured, "Speak humanly."
Dr. Banner and Iron Man looked at each other, and Iron Man said, "You are an expert in this field, so let's talk about it."
Dr. Banner was not polite and said, "The Einstein-Rosen Bridge is what most people call a wormhole. Opening it requires an astronomical amount of energy. Moreover, during the opening process of the wormhole, antiprotons will be generated. If not processed, these antiprotons will cause the wormhole to be unstable..."
Captain America said, "Wait a minute, I don't understand the theories you mentioned. If I understand correctly, Loki wants to open a wormhole and let helpers from another world come over. Then, two conditions are needed. One is energy, the second is stability. Energy can be provided by the Cosmic Cube; stability can be achieved by the iridium element. In other words, he already has all the conditions."
"That's right!"
Everyone fell silent suddenly, realizing that something was in trouble.
Just one Loki caused chaos in major cities in Europe. There were many casualties, and it was already a headache.
If his helpers come again, I'm afraid the Earth will fall completely.
According to Fury's "reasoning", Loki's helper may be the peerless, powerful man who killed Thor and Loki. Once he comes, no one on Earth can stop him.
Fury ordered, "Hill, I want you to do everything possible to find traces of Loki. Use all surveillance, cameras, and spy satellites on the Earth if necessary."
"Dr. Banner, Tony, the task of tracking gamma rays and finding the Cosmic Cube will be left to you. I will requisition all gamma ray detection instruments within my authority for your use."
"Steve, Natasha, you are always on call."
"Yes!!!"
However, the more anxious they were, the less fruitful they were.
After Loki was beaten three times by Iron Man, Black Widow, and Captain America, he suffered a huge loss and did not dare to show up again.
Even the blackened Hawkeye, who had been robbing iridium elements everywhere under Loki's instructions, had now lost his trail.
Fury became increasingly uneasy, indicating that they had taken enough iridium.
There must be arrangements being made at this time, and when he is discovered again, it may be the time when the wormhole opens.
For two days, the entire Earth suddenly returned to calm.
Fury knew that this was the calm before the storm. Once broken, it would be a devastating disaster.
At this moment, the space carrier's alarm sounded!
"Du…du…du…du…du…"
"Level One alert! Attention, all teams, there is an unknown object descending on our mothership..."
"Weapons at the ready!"
"Staff on standby!"
Two figures stood in the void above the Sky Mothership, surrounded by thunder and lightning, accompanied by dark clouds.
It was none other than Thor and Lock!
Because one more person needed to be teleported, it took longer for God King Odin to prepare the Dark Energy, which resulted in a delay of several days compared to the time in the original plot when Thor arrived alone.
In the original plot, Thor arrived when Loki faked his surrender and took the Quinjet fighter back to the mothership.
Because of a misunderstanding, he even had a fight with Iron Man and Captain America in the mountains.
Now, at Lock's request, they located the space carrier and descended directly from the sky.
The space carrier was invisible to Earth's technology, but to Heimdall, it was no different than a light bulb.
Lock stretched forward with one hand and emitted a divine light shield, blocking all the bullets and warheads of the defensive automatic weapons.
There was a nervous look below, and the cannon muzzles were raised and pointed at them.
Although Lock was not afraid, he was one of his own, so there was no need to destroy his own weapons; otherwise, the stingy Fury would yell again.
Soon, surveillance cameras captured their images.
"Ah...it's the oriental man in the photo..."
Already, some of the nymphomaniac technicians started screaming.
When the alarm was lifted, Lock and Thor slowly descended.
Thor flew with the help of Mjolnir, while Lock flew completely physically, a skill that even Thor was envious of.
You know, although many gods and powerful men are strong, they have never been able to learn to fly. Physical flight is not as simple as it seems.
Loki, who often told mortals that he was a god, could not fly. When Thor did not have a hammer, he could only use the power of thunder and lightning to soar briefly, and he could not fly.
Most of the superheroes were unable to fly physically, including the Scarlet Witch, a heaven-defying powerhouse, who could only briefly rise into the air with the help of the power of the ground, not fly.
Only a few strange people, such as Vision and Captain Marvel, possessed the ability to fly physically as soon as they appeared in the world.
As soon as the two landed, people who heard the news gathered around them.
Iron Man wore his suit and flew the fastest. When he saw Lock, his eyes turned r, ed and he stepped forward to give Lock a solid hug.
"Man, I didn't expect to see you again."
Lock sighed: "Yes, it's been a long time since I left."
"It's been a long time... it feels like a century..."
"Um..."
Gradually, Lock felt something was wrong. Iron Man, why did you hold me for so long? Everyone around was watching. If you don't think it's embarrassing, I still want to save face.
Captain America lowered his voice and asked Fury: "Director, are you sure...this person named Lock is married to Natasha?"
Seeing the jealous Black Widow beside him, Lock couldn't bear it any longer. He had returned from afar, and his beloved wife hadn't even hugged him yet.
"Hey, Tony..."
"Um..."
"Get out of here..."
Seeing Lock push Tony away, Black Widow pounced on him without saying anything, kissing him until she almost suffocated. It lasted so long that even if the people around were Westerners, they couldn't stand it anymore.
"Ahem," Fury said, "Lock, welcome back."
Lock had no choice but to separate from Black Widow. When they came back this time, everyone seemed to be particularly enthusiastic.
"Long time no see, Director."Fury's, id: "Let me introduce him first. This is Dr. Banner. I believe you know him."
Banner was polite, shook hands, and said, "Mr. Lock, I finally see you in person. Your smile is normal."
What the hell is a normal smile? Lock didn't have time to ask, so he shook hands.
"This is my deputy, Agent Hill."
Hill was a tall and slender beauty with a refreshing and handsome temperament, capable and dashing, and a heroic appearance. She was a completely different type from the Black Widow.
"This is Captain America, Steve Rogers."
This was the first time Lock saw Captain America in person. He looked carefully. He was tall, handsome, and upright. He was wearing an old-fashioned, tight-fitting combat uniform, exactly like the captain in his memory.
At this time, Thor came closer, tilted his head, glanced sideways at the captain, and whispered: "Lock, is this the American butt you are talking about? It doesn't seem very good."
Who were all the people present? No matter how low the voice was, they listened to every word.
Captain America had a dark look on his face. Who are these people? Do you know them yourself? Why are you suddenly discussing my butt?
When the people around heard what Thor said, they all turned their attention to the captain's butt, wondering if it was really that up?
Suddenly, the captain felt itchy and hot in the back. In full view of the crowd, he couldn't touch it, so he had to pretend to be careless and block it with his shield.
"Ahem... hello, everyone." Lock took a few steps away from the God of Thunder and greeted everyone, "I'm not very familiar with this guy."
Entering inside, he found that his profile picture was posted everywhere, and some photos also had small flowers posted on them.
Lock was confused now. Wasn't his information confidential? Or is it that when he traveled through the universe, he took the wrong timeline?
Thor envied: "Lock, I didn't expect you to be so popular on Earth. I don't have anyone posting my photos in Asgard."
Then he said to Agent Hill: "Hey, beauty, can you ask who is responsible for the photo?"
"I, the prince of Asgard and the God of Thunder, may you consider putting my photo up."
Hill rolled her eyes at him and said, "Everyone thinks Mr. Lock is dead, and the photo is to commemorate him. Are you sure you want to hang it up?"
"Uh...it's not impossible."
...
After the two sides exchanged information, all the doubts were solved.
Fury knew that Loki didn't have a strong man who could kill Lock, so he felt relieved a little. Now that there were two more powerful men, Thor and Lock, Fury finally let go of his worries.
As long as Loki dares to show his head, Fury dares to tell him why the flowers are so red.
Since they had nothing to do, Lock and Black Widow were busy having fun and replenishing their passion over the past two years.
"Lock, keep your voice down, the rooms here are not soundproof."
"What are you afraid of? It's not me who screamed."
"Hmph... you are so bad..."
