Tony’s New Achievement

The moment Loki came down from the Bifrost, he jolted awake. He realized that he had gotten himself into trouble!

He had violated his future sister-in-law, and even he himself couldn’t get past that.

Enraged and humiliated, he drove away all the spectators who still refused to let the matter go. Then he waited hesitantly for a long while, but Thor never came down to settle the score with him. Only then did he remember that Sif had said Thor was leading a campaign abroad and wasn’t in Asgard.

Although Thor hadn’t come looking for him, Loki no longer felt like continuing the gladiatorial matches.

After pondering for a long time, Loki ordered his subordinates to find the Kree who had come to Earth, then wandered back over to New York.

He didn’t go to the Martial Arts School. Instead, he made himself invisible and casually strolled around the city again. Invisibility was truly convenient; it could bring surprises anytime, anywhere.

Ever since watching the Captain America solo show arranged by S.H.I.E.L.D. last time, he had visited S.H.I.E.L.D. for a look around whenever he came to New York. This time was no exception.

The newly built S.H.I.E.L.D. building had already returned to the dense flow of people typical of normal office operations. If not for the many ruins around it that hadn’t been cleared away, no one would have been able to tell that the place had once suffered a terrifying attack.

He had walked through this place countless times before and knew it very well. He arrived at the director’s office with ease and saw Grant Ward sitting behind the desk, apparently on the phone with someone.

"The current difficulty is how to counter a high-level Magnetic Field Warrior’s Matter Reconstruction ability. We have to solve this problem, or we won’t be able to bring out the advantages of Vibranium materials."

"Shuri’s technology is good, but hers is based on Vibranium Technology. We have to admit that Vibranium Technology is far more advanced than the technology we’re using now. It will take Fitz and the others time to learn it, and besides, they aren’t truly on our side."

"Yes, we’ve already put them under surveillance. So far, we haven’t found any contact between them and Nick Fury’s group."

"We have to find a way to obtain Tony Stark and the others’ research approach. Even their research direction would be enough. S.H.I.E.L.D. has already tried, but whether it’s Tony or Doctor Banner, they’ve both done an excellent job keeping things confidential. Perhaps we can have Dr. Zola’s side lend us a hand. Although he no longer needs this kind of technology, we can provide him with other resources he needs."

"Good, then that’s settled. I’ll wait for good news from your side."

After Ward hung up, he continued working. Loki quietly observed Ward for a while, but learned nothing else of interest. He then left and headed for the underground Science Division.

To his surprise, the Tesseract was actually here. These three young people were quite impressive, he had to admit. They had actually taken apart the Tesseract and removed the Space Stone inside.

Although the stone could currently only float within a force field, with no one able to touch it, Loki had a feeling that if they continued researching it, they might truly find a way to use the Space Stone.

But that was no longer important. He had lost interest in the thing. What interested him more was that Vibranium Magnetic Armor.

The combat power of the Ninetieth Heaven!

How could anyone not covet it?

Unfortunately, this thing seemed to be DNA-locked, and Shuri could control it remotely as well. It couldn’t be stolen. What a shame!

Still, the things these little fellows were researching here would be quite easy to obtain.

He had acquired the computer access privileges and passwords for the Science Division long ago. He could remotely copy all their research results at any time, so there was no need to rush.

He stayed in the laboratory for a while. When he found no changes, he left.

After exiting S.H.I.E.L.D., he thought for a moment and headed toward Tony Stark’s home. However, Tony discovered him the moment he drew near.

"Who’s there?" Tony paused his discussion with Doctor Banner and turned his head toward the invisible Loki.

Loki’s heart jolted. Other than his master, Zhan Liu, this was the second person who could detect him while invisible.

He immediately revealed himself, spreading his hands in front of him to show that he meant no harm.

"Senior Apprentice-Brother, it’s me, Loki!"

"I’ve heard my elder brother Thor mention you. Senior Apprentice-Brother, you wielded Mjolnir and became Midgard’s new Thor. Your character is noble, upright, selfless…"

Loki brought out all the skills of the God of Lies and Schemes and showered Tony with flattery until Tony was grinning from ear to ear.

"Haha… I haven’t seen Thor in quite some time either. Is he doing well?"

"My elder brother is currently leading an army to subdue the various realms that refuse to submit, bringing peace to them all. This time, when I came to Midgard to study martial arts, my elder brother specifically instructed me to visit you, Senior Apprentice-Brother." Loki smiled warmly as he spouted lies without hesitation.

"He’s thinking about his hammer, isn’t he?" Tony glanced sideways at him.

"Heh heh… well…" Loki rubbed his hands awkwardly, looking like he had been found out.

Tony reached out, and the Mjolnir sitting in a distant corner shot into his hand with a whoosh. He casually placed it on the table and said:

"Actually, I’ve almost finished studying that hammer. Aside from the magical aspects I can’t understand, I’ve basically mastered the technological aspects. I have no use for this hammer anymore. Have Thor come and pick it up later!"

"Oh, that’s wonderful news. My elder brother will certainly be very happy to hear it."

As Loki spoke, he reached out as if casually and grabbed the hammer’s handle. He lifted, but it didn’t move. Loki gave an awkward smile, unleashed Magnetic Field Rotation, and pulled with all his strength. The hammer rocked slightly, but still didn’t move.

"Your Magnetic Field is only at the Nine Heavens, which isn’t enough to break through the identification program Odin placed on the hammer. I made a rough estimate. You need at least the power of the Twenty-Five Heavens to forcibly gain the hammer’s recognition."

"Twenty-Five Heavens…" Loki clicked his tongue. "Senior Apprentice-Brother, I think Hammer Industries has a Titanium Armor that can directly bring someone to the Twenty-Five Heavens. If I put on that kind of armor, would I be able to lift Mjolnir?"

"That’s right!"

"Wow, Hammer Industries is amazing. They can even develop armor like that…" Loki deliberately praised Hammer Industries with all his might, taking every opportunity to needle Tony.

His method wasn’t subtle, and his intention was obvious enough that even Doctor Banner beside them saw through it. But for Tony, this approach was extremely effective.

Tony was indeed angered. "That garbage from Hammer Industries is nothing but a knockoff of my Strong Magnetic Armor!" He reached into the cabinet beside him and pulled out a tube of silvery-white liquid.

"See that? This is the most advanced armor in the world!"

"While they were all making external armor, we had already used nanotechnology to create internal armor!"

"As long as this tube of nanoliquid is injected into the human body, the programs pre-installed in the nanomachines will automatically construct Strong Magnetic Armor inside the body’s developed capillaries and bone marrow!"

"Because it operates inside the human body, Astral Energy naturally forms when the Magnetic Field Force is activated, so there’s no need to worry about it being destroyed by Matter Reconstruction!"

"As for its enhancement, it’s already as high as…"

The more Tony spoke, the more excited he became, and he gradually let his mouth run away with him. Doctor Banner hurriedly coughed several times beside him, cutting him off.
