Chapter 26:
Loki watched as the human he had always regarded as an ant was now using the very method he was best at against him.
The Loki who had always carried an air of superiority now looked genuinely terrified in the face of death — just like any ordinary human.
Alex Chen suddenly felt that the actor named Tom Hiddleston from his original world had portrayed him extremely well.
Just like the real Loki in front of him — panicked and uneasy.
But even though Loki was afraid of death, he still tried to maintain the dignity expected of an Asgardian prince.
"Damn brat, what did you do to me? I advise you to release the control immediately, otherwise…"
"Slap!"
Seeing Loki still being stubborn even when facing death, Alex Chen didn't indulge him. He swung his palm in a beautiful arc through the air and landed it accurately on Loki's face.
Loki hadn't expected that this seemingly harmless Earthling would actually dare to hit him.
Alex Chen snatched the Scepter from Loki's hand and immediately turned to leave.
The main reason he had been able to counter-kill Loki was because Loki had been too arrogant.
Otherwise, how could the God of Mischief, who specialized in tricks and mind control, be so easily controlled by him?
Moreover, even though he had controlled Loki, maintaining this state for a long time was a huge mental drain on Alex Chen.
But after this encounter, Alex Chen couldn't help but deeply believe in a sentence he had once heard about the Hulk.
Loki really was the weakest god he had ever seen.
After successfully seizing the Cosmic Cube, Alex Chen quietly sneaked back into the control room.
"Cough cough cough!"
As soon as Alex Chen found a seat in a corner of the control room, he heard Nick Fury's voice beside him.
"Where did you go just now?"
"Ah, I saw everyone was fighting desperately, so I wanted to go out and see if there was anywhere I could help."
"So…"
Just as Alex Chen was about to say more to dispel Nick Fury's suspicion, Captain America's voice rang out in the control room.
"The interior of the ship has basically been cleared, but we still haven't seen Loki or Barton."
"I found Barton."
At this moment, Black Widow's voice sounded.
Soon, the image of Hawkeye wrapped up like a dumpling with dozens of pounds of steel bars was transmitted to the large screen in the control room.
The moment he saw the footage, Alex Chen clearly felt Nick Fury's gaze fixed intensely on him.
This is bad. Trouble now!
Captain America and Tony carried Hawkeye into a laboratory.
Looking at the steel bars wrapped around Hawkeye, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
How much strength would it take to twist magnesium-aluminum alloy steel bars into something as soft as noodles and tie them up like this?
"What kind of monster did this?"
At this time, Tony suddenly spoke up.
Hearing this, both Nick Fury and Black Widow subconsciously turned their gazes toward Alex Chen, who was standing to the side trying to act casual.
Being stared at by the two of them, Alex Chen felt his heart almost jump into his throat.
"Uh… everyone, I think… can we first untie the steel bars on Hawkeye? We can't just leave him tied up like this, right?"
Seeing the atmosphere turn strangely quiet, Alex Chen hurriedly spoke up.
"umm"
Seeing everyone nod, Alex Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
However, when they tried to untie the steel bars on Hawkeye, everyone realized they had made a mistake.
The bindings on Hawkeye were not ordinary ropes, but steel bars forged from alloy.
Even Iron Man beside them couldn't break these steel bars in one go.
These steel bars had been forged by S.H.I.E.L.D. after spending a huge amount of money and time.
In some aspects, they were even stronger than any metal forged by professional craftsmen currently on the market.
Imagine how difficult it would be to untie the steel bars binding Hawkeye under these circumstances!
Just as everyone was at a loss, Alex Chen did something that stunned them all.
They saw Alex Chen press a few spots on Hawkeye's body. Soon, the steel bars wrapped around Hawkeye came to life and loosened one by one, restoring his freedom.
Seeing Alex Chen's action, everyone's eyes widened in shock.
How on earth did this kid do that?!
Although Nick Fury had long suspected something about Alex Chen, seeing him actively reveal his abilities in front of everyone still caused Nick Fury intense shock!
This kind of method was truly astonishing!
After all, these alloy steel bars were not ordinary alloy materials. They had gone through hundreds of technical processes during forging to achieve this effect.
Yet Alex Chen had simply moved his hands and completely dismantled them.
And he had done it in less than half a minute.
Since Alex Chen could so easily dismantle these steel bars now, it was obvious who had twisted them into this state in the first place.
Since it was going to be exposed sooner or later, what difference did it make whether it happened earlier or later?
At this moment, Nick Fury finally understood why Alex Chen had been able to subdue Kingpin so easily before.
"What exactly did you just do? Can you tell us?"
At this time, Nick Fury asked the question everyone most wanted to know.
Hearing this, Alex Chen did not answer directly. Instead, he said unhurriedly:
"Director, now is not the time to discuss this. We should focus on stabilizing the current situation as quickly as possible."
Indeed, there was still a major problem that had not been resolved.
Suddenly, Alex Chen's whole body trembled. Large beads of sweat continuously rolled down from his forehead.
At this moment, Alex Chen felt as if his soul had been frozen.
And this kind of pain lasted for less than three seconds before it disappeared.
Alex Chen raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at his left arm. The clothes on it were already soaked through.
Alex Chen's abnormality was quickly noticed by everyone.
"What's wrong with you?"
Black Widow hurriedly stepped forward to support Alex Chen and asked.
Nick Fury and the others also turned their gazes toward Alex Chen.
"Director, I don't know what this is either. I just suddenly felt something appear in my mind — something I've never seen before."
As Alex Chen spoke, he pointed at his own head, indicating that it was hurting badly right now.
Nick Fury immediately walked over and gently patted Alex Chen's head with his hand.
But the moment Nick Fury's hand touched Alex Chen's forehead, he felt an extremely strong electric current transmit from Alex Chen's body into his own.
A numbing sensation made Nick Fury feel as if every bone in his body was about to explode.
Nick Fury was startled.
"What's wrong with you?!"
Nick Fury quickly stepped back, his eyes filled with shock as he looked at Alex Chen.
"Director, hurry… hurry to the control room. The Cosmic Cube… Loki!"
