With this slight doubt, Zhou Cheng continued to survey his surroundings.
He found that besides Black Widow, there were six or seven strong men waiting in the next room, all heavily armed.
Although their specific origins were unknown, they appeared to be highly trained, professional special operatives.
Most of them were probably also controlled by Loki.
However, these were the only people there.
Dr. Selvig, who was controlled in the previous movie, was nowhere to be seen.
All in all, this "lineup" was indeed quite different from the one Zhou Cheng remembered.
"Alright."
"It seems this Universe is likely not the movie Universe 199999 Universe."
Zhou Cheng shook his head slightly and sighed.
But this was not a critical matter for him.
Facts had already proven that even if this Universe was not the movie Universe, the direction of some extremely crucial major events was actually consistent.
There were just some deviations.
And with Zhou Cheng's current strength, sweeping the current Avengers was not a problem at all, including Hulk and Thor.
He was fully capable of handling such deviations.
So Zhou Cheng was not flustered in the slightest.
He wasted no words, flapped his wings, and flew towards Loki.
"Have you found the research personnel I need?"
At this moment, Loki was completely unaware of the impending crisis, asking Black Widow beside him with a serious expression.
Black Widow took out a tablet and tapped it a few times.
The corresponding research personnel's information appeared on it.
"Selvig, he is the foremost expert in this field; besides Stark, he's the most capable person I could find."
Black Widow briefly introduced him to Loki.
Loki lowered his head and scanned Selvig's information, then imperiously issued an order: "Then what are you waiting for? I already assigned you the personnel, didn't I?"
"Understood!"
Black Widow put away the tablet and, without further delay, turned and walked towards the door.
She intended to take the people Loki had "assigned" to her to capture Dr. Selvig.
Clang!
But just as Black Widow reached the door, before she could even open it, the door was violently pushed open from the outside.
A person wearing a mask and a uniform appeared before Black Widow's eyes.
Hmm?
Hearing the commotion, Loki couldn't help but turn his head, looking at the sudden uninvited guest.
He frowned slightly, wondering what was happening—someone had actually broken in?
Was he here for him?
"Satan!"
Black Widow had already recognized Zhou Cheng's identity, and at the same time, she immediately realized the purpose of Zhou Cheng's appearance.
Undoubtedly, he must have been invited by her Officer, oh no, her former Officer, to snatch the Tesseract.
"Sir, this is an extremely dangerous individual! Please watch the Tesseract!"
Black Widow, realizing everything, immediately warned Loki as if facing a great enemy.
So he really was here for him?
Loki glanced at Zhou Cheng, hidden beneath the mask, and a smile, both dismissive and sinister, curved his lips.
Extremely dangerous?
He, Loki, was a god!
How dangerous could someone from a mortal Planet like Midgard be?
How many people could pick up his foolish brother's shield, or build an iron suit for himself?
Although Black Widow made Satan out to be extremely dangerous, the perpetually arrogant Loki still didn't truly take Zhou Cheng seriously.
"Natasha, I think you should know that you are not my opponent."
"So, why don't you just step aside and not block my way?"
Zhou Cheng, who had fought alongside Black Widow, spread his hands at her and spoke in a very understated tone.
Clang!
Black Widow, now loyal to Loki, quickly acted, pulling out her gun immediately.
She intended to attack Zhou Cheng.
But would Zhou Cheng let Black Widow succeed?
Black Widow had just pulled out her gun, her hand not even having time to lift, when Zhou Cheng very easily waved his hand at Black Widow.
A silent force immediately acted upon Black Widow.
Black Widow's body swayed violently, and she was instantly sent flying backward.
She hit the wall with a heavy thud, then lay on the ground, disheveled like a dead dog.
The smile on Loki's lips slowly disappeared, and he began to eye Zhou Cheng with a hint of surprise.
This masked man who suddenly broke in actually had some tricks up his sleeve.
No wonder he made Natasha look like that.
"Interesting."
Loki remained arrogantly seated, his gaze falling on Zhou Cheng, "An ant among ants has appeared, a strong ant. He might easily defeat other ants, which might give him the illusion that he is very powerful."
"But he has overlooked one thing: an ant is always an ant!"
"No matter how powerful he is among ants, he cannot withstand a human's shoe, a human's casual stomp…"
Whoosh!
Loki's words were cut short mid-sentence, and his face began to twitch.
Nothing else.
Because Zhou Cheng waved his hand at the Tesseract placed before Loki, and the Tesseract flew directly into Zhou Cheng's hand!
Loki: "…"
This mere ant actually dared to disregard him so much!
While he was delivering his impassioned speech, he directly snatched his item!
"That is not something you can touch!"
Loki's elegant pretense could no longer be maintained, and he let out a cold snort at Zhou Cheng, then stood up.
Swish!
At the same time, a flash of light appeared in his hand.
The formidable staff suddenly appeared in his hand, gripped tightly by Loki.
And pointed at Zhou Cheng.
"Put it down, and no one gets hurt."
Loki warned Zhou Cheng with a stern voice.
"I think so too."
Zhou Cheng nodded in agreement.
If Loki put down his weapon and didn't attack him, he wouldn't be hurt by him—no problem!
Hiss!
Seeing Zhou Cheng so unappreciative, Loki had no more words.
He immediately shook the staff in his hand, firing an energy attack at Zhou Cheng.
But Zhou Cheng merely raised his hand calmly at Loki.
Using the Shinra Tensei ability, an invisible repulsive force shield appeared in front of Zhou Cheng.
Loki's energy attack was immediately blocked by the repulsive force shield and then deflected to the side.
Loki's expression began to turn somewhat ugly, and he truly started to look at Zhou Cheng with new respect.
To block his attack with such ease, it seemed a truly remarkable ant had appeared on Midgard!
While his perception of Zhou Cheng changed, Loki's hands were not idle.
He again raised the staff in his hand at Zhou Cheng, intending to continue attacking him.
But Zhou Cheng waved his hand again.
An invisible force also struck Loki.
Bang!
Loki's body shook violently, and like Black Widow, he was sent flying to the ground by Zhou Cheng's telekinetic force.
However, Loki was a god after all; Black Widow was still dizzy from the impact, but Loki was perfectly fine.
He immediately got back up.
His eyes fixed on Zhou Cheng, and that characteristic sinister smile, tinged with a hint of sharpness, reappeared on his lips.
"OK!"
The next moment, Loki, clutching his staff, charged towards Zhou Cheng, swinging the staff fiercely at him.
Clap!
But a soft sound followed, and Loki's staff froze in mid-air.
Because Zhou Cheng had casually stretched out his other hand and gripped Loki's staff.
Loki immediately realized that the other party possessed an unshakeable force in that single hand.
No matter how much he exerted himself, he couldn't make the staff budge an inch.
What!
Loki could no longer remain calm.
If Zhou Cheng's earlier Shinra Tensei represented a form of magic, then now the other party had proven with facts that the magician himself possessed astonishing strength!
Magicians, in Loki's view, were not much, as Loki's own magic was also very powerful.
But a magician comparable to a warrior had to make Loki take him seriously.
Loki truly hadn't expected to encounter such a person on Midgard.
In terms of strength, he was completely on par with a god like himself.
Bang!
While Loki was astonished, Zhou Cheng didn't stand on ceremony with him.
He kicked Loki, sending him flying.
Loki's staff thus fell into Zhou Cheng's hand.
Zhou Cheng knew that the staff contained an Infinity Stone, but such an item was useless to Zhou Cheng, as he had no ambitions, after all.
Coupled with the fact that Infinity Stones represented endless trouble, Zhou Cheng's heart was even more like still Water.
He tossed the staff aside like trash.
And this action made Loki even more furious; it was simply a slap in the face.
Loki, his face dark, charged at Zhou Cheng again.
Whoosh!
Zhou Cheng's wings suddenly unfurled, and he launched an attack at Loki.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
In an instant, countless feathers rained down on Loki, covering him entirely.
Loki had no time to react and was shot by the countless feathers, sending him flying backward, smashing a hole in the wall.
He landed on the ground like a dead dog.
However, Loki was a god after all, and his resistance to blows was excellent; even after being hit so many times, he was still able to struggle to his feet.
Seeing this, Zhou Cheng vaguely waved his hand in Loki's direction.
Boom!
The entire wall was violently knocked down, burying Loki beneath a pile of rubble.
Boom!
But soon.
A powerful force pushed the rubble away, sending countless stones flying.
Loki, his face as ugly as a dog's, climbed out again.
But by this time, the masked man who had snatched his Tesseract was nowhere to be seen.
Swish!
Loki's expression immediately became incredibly dark, almost dripping with Water.
Why was this happening?
Why did such a powerful person exist on Midgard?
How long had the two sides been clashing, and the other party had already snatched the Tesseract from his hand?
Who was it!
Who exactly was that guy!
Zhou Cheng naturally didn't know what Loki was thinking at this moment, and of course, he didn't care.
The moment the other party snatched the Tesseract and retreated, he received a call from Nick Fury.
Zhou Cheng was not surprised by this; from the moment he began his actions, he should have been targeted by Nick Fury.
Perhaps even the process of him tormenting Loki was witnessed by the other party.
As the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., doing such a thing was not strange.
"Satan, I'm three streets away from you, bring the Tesseract over."
Nick Fury's voice sounded in the receiver, and he then told Zhou Cheng the corresponding address.
Zhou Cheng, of course, had no objections; with a thought, he changed direction.
He rushed to Nick Fury's temporary Base as quickly as possible.
"Here, this is what you wanted."
Zhou Cheng casually handed the Tesseract to Nick Fury, as if it were just something insignificant.
Nick Fury naturally didn't fuss at this moment, immediately took the box, and quickly opened it.
A cube shimmering with blue light appeared before Nick Fury's eyes.
Whew!
Nick Fury couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
"I'm thinking I might have made a mistake. I shouldn't have just asked you to bring back the Tesseract; I should have asked you to bring Loki as well."
Looking up again, Nick Fury said half-seriously, half-jokingly.
Indeed, the Tesseract was now back, and thanks to Satan's actions, Loki's location was also exposed.
But how easy was it to capture Loki?
"That's not my problem."
Zhou Cheng shrugged indifferently, "But if you want to place another commission, I welcome it."
"Keep your phone on; if I decide to do that, I'll contact you."
Nick Fury didn't give a definite answer; in fact, he currently had no intention of doing so.
True, Loki was a formidable opponent.
But Nick Fury was no ordinary person either; he hadn't reached the point where he relied on Satan for everything.
In the last battle at the Dark Energy Joint Base with Loki, Loki had exposed a lot of important intelligence.
With Nick Fury's careful preparation, he might not necessarily fail, after all, his Whiplash Special Forces team was not to be underestimated.
Whoosh!
Nodding at Nick Fury, Zhou Cheng said no more, directly spreading his wings and flying away.
As for Nick Fury?
He returned to the command center and began personally directing the operation to capture Loki.
Swish, swish, swish!
And what neither Zhou Cheng nor Nick Fury would know was that at the same moment, on a street corner near Stark Tower, several flashes of light flickered by.
And when the light dissipated, several somewhat familiar figures appeared abruptly.
