Marvel: I, Hermione, am from Hogwarts!

I'm thousands of years older than you, okay?!

Steve's gaze darted between Hermione and Thor, and he thought to himself: How come it seems like everyone except me knows this little girl?

Moreover, look at each of them, from Stark to Thor, from Dr. Banner to Fury, and even Loki's reactions—they all seem strange.

This young girl is definitely not simple!

Steve suppressed his doubts and focused on what mattered most.

He looked at Thor: "Thor, what exactly is Loki's purpose?"

Thor's face darkened at the mention of Loki. "Loki said he has an outer space army called the Chitauri on standby."

"I guess Loki made a deal with them using the Tesseract. He helped those guys get the Tesseract, and in return, they helped him take over the Earth."

"The military." As if to confirm he hadn't misheard, Steve looked around and emphasized again, "From outer space."

He had only been pulled out of the ice not long ago, and the world was changing so fast that his brain couldn't keep up.

"Captain, you may have been lying down for too long and are outdated."

Tony leaned closer, giving him a "you old fogey" look.

"What's so strange about aliens? Didn't a metal lump fall down in New Mexico before?"

"That's called the Destroyer!"

Saul corrected him irritably.

"Alright, alright, Destroyer." Tony waved his hand. "Anyway, we're all from outer space, what's the difference?"

“I don’t know either.” Thor shook his head. “I’ve never heard of this race before. They’re not Asgardians; they must come from beyond the Nine Realms.”

"The Chitauri..."

Hermione, who had been quietly munching on her apple, suddenly spoke up.

"They are a race that is keen on invasion and destruction. Their leader is called 'The Other'. They usually reside in the deep space outside the Nine Realms and have no fixed home planet."

Fury, Natasha, Tony, and the others' eyes lit up when they heard Hermione speak.

Yup!

How could they forget that there's a living, super encyclopedia here!

Chapter 122 Hermione's Magic Lesson: The Infinity Stones

Fury quickly followed up, "Are the Chitauri strong in combat?"

Hermione pursed her lips.

"Compared to the real major empires in the universe, they are definitely not enough."

“However, to deal with Earth’s technology…” she paused, “it’s more than enough.”

Everyone's heart sank.

"They mainly rely on a combination of biotechnology and armor, somewhat like..."

Hermione pointed at Tony.

"...Iron Man suit?"

Tony was immediately displeased upon hearing this.

"Hey, little girl, don't talk nonsense!"

"My Iron Man suit is one of a kind! How can it be the same as those alien grunts?"

Hermione scoffed and ignored him.

"The Chitauri's technology is actually not advanced, but they are incredibly prolific and have a strong ability to mass-produce troops, like locusts, in huge swarms."

"The most powerful main combat weapon is the Leviathan behemoth."

"what is that?"

Steve couldn't help but ask.

"Uh..." Hermione scratched her head, "You can think of it as a larger version of a flying, thick-skinned, armored... whale?"

Everyone suddenly realized that they had truly broadened their horizons today.

Steve and Dr. Banner exchanged a glance, their surprise barely concealed, and they felt even more strongly that this young girl was no ordinary person.

Tony was still bothered by Hermione comparing his suit to the alien soldiers, muttering to himself:

"How could my suit be compared to those hideous aliens..."

As he spoke, he patted Saul's arm.

"Of course, I wasn't talking about you, big guy."

Thor glared at him.

Tony turned his head again, looking unconvinced.

"Also, if those Chitauri are really that powerful, able to crush the Earth, why has nothing happened on Earth for so many years?"

Hermione pursed her lips and said:

"If Earth were only protected by these guys from S.H.I.E.L.D., it would be truly doomed. It would have been wiped out countless times by now."

"The strongest power on Earth is actually magic. People of importance in the universe, like Odin, know this, but you local Muggles and some big idiot don't."

Fury and Thor were speechless, their faces showing some embarrassment.

When Steve heard the words "magical power," his eyes widened as if he had heard something new.

"but……"

Hermione changed the subject, her tone tinged with doubt.

There's something I just don't understand.

“Indeed, Tony has a point. If the Chitauri’s goal was the Tesseract, they should have arrived long ago. Why have they been delayed until now?”

She looked at Fury.

"Egg, tell me in detail what exactly happened back then."

Fury dared not hide anything and recounted the whole story in detail.

Hermione listened, then suddenly interrupted, "Wait, you said you activated the Tesseract? And... without any protective measures?"

Fury felt uneasy under her gaze, and sweat began to bead on his forehead.

That look in his eyes was like he was looking at an idiot.

He sensed something was wrong and quickly asked, "Is there a problem?"

"This is a big problem!"

Hermione's voice suddenly rose.

"Once the Cosmic Cube is activated, it will release a special kind of wave into the entire universe, which can only be blocked by magical means."

"Now the whole universe knows the Cosmic Cube is on Earth. Just wait for the endless trouble to come knocking on your door!"

"The Chitauri are probably just the first wave."

Hermione glared at Fury.

"Egg, you're really good at getting into trouble, you really are!"

"Someone like you would be thrown into Azkaban and locked up to die in the wizarding world!"

Everyone suddenly realized what was happening, and all eyes turned to Fury, looking at him as if he were an idiot.

So it turns out you're the one who attracted the aliens here!

Fury's face turned pale; he was now truly regretting it.

I should have been wary of Hermione in the first place. With her abilities, she definitely has a way to block the Tesseract's signals.

Now look what's happened; we've let the wolf into the house.

Thinking about this, Fury was filled with deep regret.

Hermione ignored him and simply said, "It's too late to say anything now. Bring me Loki's scepter."

Fury didn't dare to delay and quickly sent someone to fetch it.

A moment later, the scepter was handed to Hermione.

【Wonderful Object】

[Scepter of the Mind (Under analysis, can be disassembled)]

[The vessel for the Mind Stone, one of the Marvel Universe's Infinity Stones, possesses the power to manipulate minds; while possessing it, all mental magic levels increase by 1.]

[Remaining parsing time: 5999h59min43s]

Hermione was startled by the description that popped up in the spellbook.

The Mind Stone was identified as a rare item, which was exactly what she expected, and its effects were also similar to what she anticipated.
