"Let us go."
After standing still for a few seconds, Nick Fury left the villa without looking back.
In the lab, Tony watched the departing Nick Fury and curled his lips in disdain.
If he was not currently at a critical juncture in his presidential campaign, he would have already taken action to sort out Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D.
A world-protecting organization like S.H.I.E.L.D.? More like Snake S.H.I.E.L.D.!
Moreover, according to his observations over the past few months, the world he was in should be the cinematic universe from the pile of Marvel documents sent by Gu Xiaoxiao.
However, it was somewhat different from the movies, because Spider-Man Peter Parker had already appeared at this time.
Only, because of his intervention, Uncle Ben, the man who changed Peter's life, did not die.
The current Peter was just a high school senior about to graduate from Midtown High, and he also had a pretty good relationship with Tony, or rather, he absolutely idolized Tony.
After all, Tony had saved his Uncle Ben and even gave him a well-paying job, preventing Peter's family from being evicted for failing to pay rent and becoming completely homeless.
More importantly, Tony also promised that as long as Peter got into college, he would cover his tuition. The price was that the future Peter would work for him.
Tony naturally could not ask for a better deal.
As for whether he could get into college, neither of them had ever worried about that.
And this was just a small part of the changes Tony had made.
Others included acquiring the Pym Group, investing in villains like Dr. Connors the Lizard and Doctor Octopus Otto, and paying early attention to Wakanda, Stephen Strange, and so on.
But having done all this, the only thing he did not want to deal with was S.H.I.E.L.D.
Because Nick Fury, just like in the movie and TV show plots sent by Gu Xiaoxiao, hardly seemed human at all.
Leaving aside the fact that S.H.I.E.L.D. was full of Hydra agents, this guy was freaking harboring Skrulls.
Even Tony did not know right now just how many of America's higher-ups were actually Skrulls.
This made him feel constantly and incredibly irritated.
Let alone him, even an ordinary person absolutely would not want to live in a world where a group of aliens hid among them, controlling their fate from high-ranking positions, right?
Therefore, Tony had not a shred of goodwill toward Nick Fury, and by extension, he had little goodwill toward the entirety of S.H.I.E.L.D.
...
"Jarvis, did you find Reindeer Games?"
"Sir, Reindeer Games is currently delivering his godhood declaration."
As Jarvis replied, a holographic projection appeared in front of Tony.
In the footage, Loki, wearing his divine armor and sporting antlers on his head, was spreading his arms with a truly arrogant expression, saying something while surrounded by kneeling figures.
Seeing this, Tony downed the red wine in his hand, then stood up and walked forward. As he stepped, a suit of armor completely different from the Mark II suddenly appeared in front of him.
The armor was entirely red, but it was covered in densely packed golden patterns.
If someone from the immortal cultivation world were here, they would definitely realize that these crisscrossing golden patterns were shockingly powerful array formations.
As Tony walked up to the armor, the array patterns on it glowed with golden light, and the armor separated piece by piece along the patterns, completely enveloping Tony within.
Finally, the array patterns on the chest of the armor slowly opened, revealing a glowing white bulb, which was none other than the miniature cold nuclear fusion arc reactor.
Only now, within the reactor, faint golden patterns could be seen.
"Well then, let us go meet this Reindeer Games."
With those words, the armor rocketed into the sky.
...
In New York's Times Square, Loki held the Mind Scepter, immensely enjoying the kneeling crowd around him, his face full of arrogance and smiles.
Just then, a fighter jet suddenly appeared in the sky above the square.
The cannon beneath the jet slowly moved, aiming down at Loki.
"Sir, please put down the weapon in your hand, or I will open fire."
Natasha's voice rang out from inside the jet.
She had just left Tony's house with Nick Fury when she received the communication that Loki had been found, and she immediately flew over in the jet.
And coming with her was America's spiritual symbol, Steve Rogers.
Watching this scene, a look of disdain appeared on the corners of Loki's mouth.
Even though he had deliberately exposed himself, he had never thought he would be caught by these ordinary humans of S.H.I.E.L.D.
The ones he was waiting for were others.
Seeing him unmoved, the jet's hatch opened directly, and a blonde man holding a shield, wearing a combat suit, and sporting a perky rear end jumped down from above.
It was none other than Steve Rogers.
As soon as Steve jumped off the jet, he charged straight at Loki.
Seeing this, Loki raised his scepter with a disdainful face, and a beam of light flew out of it, shooting straight at the charging Steve.
However, it was directly blocked by Steve raising his shield.
But when Steve poked his head out from behind the shield to look, he saw that hundreds of Lokis were now densely packed all around him, and they all raised their scepters together, light flashing upon them.
"Can you still block it with your little shield like this?"
Hundreds of Lokis spoke at the same time. The scene was extremely spectacular, causing Steve to stand guardingly in place.
In the next second, hundreds of light beams shot out simultaneously. Seeing this, Steve unleashed his full fighting power and actually dodged them all with a single roll.
However, although he dodged them, he now looked incredibly battered.
But he was not discouraged. He immediately stood up, raised his shield again, and delivered his famous catchphrase.
"I can do this all day!"
Seeing this, Loki gave a disdainful smile and prepared to attack again.
But right at that moment, all the broadcasts, electronic screens, and even the mobile phones on everyone in the entire square simultaneously blared with rousing music.
At the same time, a figure trailing fire descended from the sky, landing on one knee with a boom in a standard superhero entrance, drawing all the attention of countless passersby around.
The newcomer was none other than Tony in his armor.
The next moment, the armor's faceplate opened, revealing Tony's face.
"Oh my God! It is Tony Stark!"
It was not clear who started it, but instantly all the pedestrians looked at Tony in excitement, gasping in awe, showing just how high Tony's popularity in New York was nowadays.
After all, he had never hidden the truth about his armor, and he would occasionally appear in high profile before the public wearing it.
Tony was extremely satisfied with the crowd's exclamations and looked at Loki with a smile.
"Hey, Reindeer Games, drop the stick in your hand, surrender without a fight, and come stay in prison for a while."
Well, he was naturally talking about the prison he had acquired a while ago.
Hearing this, Loki merely assumed he was an ordinary human like Steve, full of disdain for his words.
However, the very next moment, Tony raised his palm, and countless tiny light beams instantly shot out from the armor's arm, piercing straight through the bodies of the hundreds of Lokis in a flash.
One of the Lokis had absolutely no time to react and was sent flying backward by the blast of the beam, while the hundreds of other Lokis instantly vanished.
Loki crashed heavily onto the ground, feeling as though his chest had just been smashed by his muscle-brained brother's hammer.
By the time he caught his breath and tried to get up, a palm glowing with white light was already leveled right in front of his face.
"Don't move, Reindeer Games."
It was none other than Tony.
Seeing this and sensing the immense threat radiating from that palm, Loki had no choice but to drop his scepter and raise his hands high in surrender.
"Oh! Tony Stark!"
"Tony Stark!"
"Tony..."
"..."
The surrounding bystanders were extremely cooperative, cheering enthusiastically for the biggest star in New York today, Tony Stark.
