"Crazy? Eh~ there's no one more rational than me, absolutely no one."Zed shook his head as he walked toward Loki.
Loki raised the scepter and prepared to attack. The Mind Scepter lit up with a dazzling blue glow. But instead of dodging, Zed casually reached out toward the empty air.
"Next time you try to ambush someone, could you at least hide your killing intent? It's very obvious."Zed tilted his head slightly as he mocked him.
Zed's intuitive reflexes couldn't compare to spider-sense—Peter jumped at the slightest tingle—but after intense training, Zed's instincts were far more stable, never "on-and-off" like Peter's.
Loki's concealment magic dispersed, revealing his real body and the Mind Scepter. He clenched his teeth and tried to yank the scepter free, but the scepter was exactly what Zed wanted!
Inside the scepter, the Mind Stone would alter the entire fate of the Maximoff twins; both Ultron and Vision would be born because of it—and Thanos had even tampered with it.
Now wasn't the right time to seize the stone, but Zed needed absolute control of its location. Once all products were on the shelves, he could begin recovery.
The moment Zed grabbed the scepter, Professor Ryoma's alien tracker successfully attached itself to it.
Loki used all the strength in his Frost-Giant body to pull the scepter back, but compared to an Amazonian, he was clearly weaker.
"Let go!"
"Oh~"Task completed, Zed lightly released his hand.
Loki's expression changed instantly as he fell backwards, rolling on the ground before awkwardly climbing back up.
"You dare humiliate me?" Loki snarled, then raised the Mind Scepter toward the crowd. "I'll make you pay!"
Zed curled his lips and spoke casually:
"Do it, then. Make my playground a little more exciting! That which cannot exterminate humanity only pushes humanity forward. Loki, that's the difference between you and me."
Zed's voice carried so clearly that everyone heard it, and the crowd instantly fell into total panic.
"As you wish!"
Loki gritted his teeth and fired an energy burst toward the crowd—but once again his attack was reflected back.
Captain America, Steve Rogers, had leapt down from the Quinjet and blocked the shot with his vibranium shield, sending it straight back at Loki.
Steve glanced at the half-kneeling Loki, then turned to Zed and spoke:
"I appreciate you helping SHIELD locate me. But I can't agree with your extreme evolutionary ideals. Protecting humanity is a hero's duty."
"But I'm not a hero."Zed spread his hands and turned to leave.
"Zi-O…?"
In the Quinjet's co-pilot seat, Tsukasa Kadoya stared with a confused, almost meme-like expression. He had no idea why a Zi-O existed in this new world.
Natasha was also surprised—not by Zed's appearance, but by his departure."He just left? What exactly is he trying to do?"
On the ground, Loki slowly pushed himself up. He debated whether to start another fight, maybe act for a while longer—but Tony's sudden arrival decided for him.
"I surrender."
Inside the Quinjet, explosive music blasted as Tsukasa frowned."He just invaded the aircraft like that?"
"Don't mind him. That's just how he is." Natasha had long grown used to Tony's behavior.
Tsukasa shook his head. "And he has such terrible taste! 'Ride the Wind' is far more refined."
(｡ŏ_ŏ)
After Tony and Steve dragged Loki onto the aircraft, Natasha turned the jet around—but Tony and Steve clearly didn't get along.
Steve couldn't stand Tony's flippant attitude. Tony, meanwhile, had grown up listening to Howard endlessly praise Steve—turning him into some saintly figure—so Tony naturally disliked him.
"Hey, Captain, got any tips?" Tony removed his helmet and looked at Steve.
Steve didn't understand. "Tips for what?"
"How do you train? You look like you're doing aerobics." Tony asked completely seriously.
Steve didn't want to argue anymore, so he shifted the topic to Loki and Zed."Loki surrendered too quickly. And Zed Oleg came and went just as fast. Neither feels right."
Tony didn't care much. Resting a hand on the cabin wall, he said:
"That guy Zed only cares about collecting Ridewatches. Everything else is irrelevant to him. He even calls himself the most fearsome, most evil demon king. You can't seriously expect him to be as heroic as Iron Man Tony Stark! As for Loki—"
BOOM!
BOOM!
Tony turned toward the startled Loki and mocked:
"You're afraid of thunder?"
Loki forced a gloomy smile. "I dislike the person who comes with the thunder."
BOOM!
BOOM!
"Sir, put down your hammer," Tony warned Thor, raising his repulsor.
Thor's eyes widened in fury. He threw Mjolnir straight at Tony."You want me to put down my hammer?!"
The thunderous strike sent Tony flying, even knocking Steve off balance. Thor used the moment to snatch Loki and escape.
Tony staggered to his feet and, ignoring Steve's attempts to stop him, immediately chased after Thor—he was determined to kick the god's ass.Steve, helpless, strapped on a parachute and jumped after them.
In the Quinjet's co-pilot seat, Tsukasa relaxed his left hand and let go of the gun at his waist."What are they even doing?"
"It's fine. After men like them fight it out once, they'll calm down. You take control—I need to report to the Director."Natasha switched control to Tsukasa and connected to Nick Fury.
Tsukasa grabbed the joystick smoothly and raised an eyebrow."Piece of cake."
Loki sat atop a small hill, smiling as Tony and Thor wrestled violently—he had no intention of escaping.
Thor summoned lightning through Mjolnir and struck Tony hard."I am Thor, God of Thunder!"
"Sir, energy output at four hundred percent."Jarvis's alert made Tony whistle.
A 400% repulsor blast sent Thor flying into the distance. When Steve arrived, the first words out of his mouth were "Put down the hammer," which only enraged Thor further.Mjolnir rose once again, and the three clashed in a chaotic brawl.
"Hahaha~!"Loki was extremely satisfied with the show.
...
Hovering invisibly above them, the Time Majin sat quietly while Zed secretly observed the four below—more precisely, he was studying Steve alone.
Getting someone as righteous as Steve to press a Ridewatch button wouldn't be easy. He'd need careful planning.But while Zed watched from the shadows, he didn't realize someone else was also watching him.
At the same time, Tsukasa Kadoya was piloting the Quinjet while flipping through SHIELD's internal files.
