But this parsing time... isn't it a bit too outrageous?

To analyze unusual objects, you must carry them with you at all times.

Why did you let her hold this thing for so long?

That's not realistic; we need to find an opportunity to separate the raw stone.

"What exactly is this thing, and why can it turn Patton into Loki's loyal follower?"

Fury leaned closer and asked.

Hermione said, "The Mind Scepter has the power to control people's minds."

She paused slightly, and seeing that everyone was listening intently, she continued:

"But this is not its true nature. The scepter is just a vessel; its essence is the Infinity Stones."

Unlimited Primogems?

Everyone heard a new term and felt like their brains couldn't keep up.

Only Thor's expression changed, as if he knew something.

"The birth of the universe originated from a Big Bang."

Hermione cleared her throat and gently waved her hand in the air.

Six illusory gemstones of different colors, shimmering with strange light, appeared out of thin air before everyone's eyes, exuding a mysterious aura.

"After the Big Bang, six singularities were formed, which eventually turned into the six Infinity Stones."

She paused, her tone becoming serious.

"Every piece of raw stone contains the most primal and powerful force in the universe."

"The six raw stones represent space, time, reality, power, soul, and..."

She paused and glanced at the crowd.

"soul."

Upon hearing the word "soul," everyone present changed their expressions.

Fury and Hill, in particular, had witnessed the power of Loki's scepter firsthand.

Hermione nodded, as if she had expected their reaction.

"I'm sure you've already guessed it."

"The scepter in Loki's hand is the vessel for the Mind Stone."

"Its power can easily control a person's mind and turn them into a puppet."

She added:

"Also, the Tesseract that Loki stole is actually one of the Infinity Stones."

Fury couldn't help but ask, "Then what is the Tesseract...?"

"Space Stone".

Everyone suddenly realized why the Cosmic Cube could open the spatial portal; it was the power of the Space Stone.

Hermione glanced at Fury, her tone laced with sarcasm.

"I'm telling you, S.H.I.E.L.D., you've been researching the Tesseract for so many years, and you don't even know what it is? You've been researching nothing but a waste of time."

Chapter 123 Loki Reunited

Fury was speechless after being rebuked and could only manage a wry smile.

Hill and Natasha also felt their faces burning with embarrassment.

After all, the Tesseract has always been S.H.I.E.L.D.'s top secret, and in the end, they didn't even figure out the essence of this thing.

On the contrary, Hermione, an "outsider," has a more thorough understanding of the Infinity Stones than these "professionals."

This made them realize how wise it was to have built a good relationship with Hermione.

Even Thor, the God of Thunder from Asgard, didn't know the details of the Infinity Stones.

Hermione, however, knew them all by heart.

This instilled in the S.H.I.E.L.D. team a deeper sense of awe for the mysterious wizarding race.

In their minds, the status of the wizard race had even surpassed that of those beings in myths and legends.

This feeling made them both excited and worried.

What's exciting is that there is such a powerful force on Earth, enough to deter threats from the depths of the universe.

The concern is, how should ordinary people conduct themselves when facing wizards?

What can we use to counter this?

"So, all these stones need to find a 'nest'?"

Tony stroked his chin, his gaze sweeping back and forth over the six phantom gems.

Hermione nodded and explained, "The Infinity Stones are too powerful. Ordinary people cannot unleash their power. If they try to use them, they will be seriously injured at best, and completely destroyed at worst."

"A special container is needed to control their power."

She paused, then added, "You've both seen the Tesseract and Loki's scepter."

"The carrier of the Reality Stone is the Aether particle, which belongs to the Dark Elf race."

“Thousands of years ago, the Dark Elves fought a war with Bohr, the God-King of Asgard, who was Thor’s grandfather. After that, the Aether disappeared.”

"The vessel for the Time Stone is the Eye of Agamotto, which is currently on Earth and has been kept by the Sorcerer Supreme."

"As for Soul Stones and Power Stones..."

Hermione shook her head: "I don't know where those two are either. Before, we didn't even know where the Mind Stone was, and now..."

She shook the scepter in her hand, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Fury looked at the scepter in Hermione's hand, feeling a pang of heartache.

He finally understood why Hermione reacted so strongly when she heard that Loki had used his scepter to control Barton.

This isn't just any scepter; it's a treasure on par with the Cosmic Cube!

If he had known it would be like this, he would never have agreed to Hermione's terms.

Now, all we can do is watch helplessly as this treasure falls into Hermione's hands.

As for regret?

Fury didn't have the guts.

He had experienced firsthand the witch's temper.

If you really anger her, who knows what will happen?

Tony was still pondering, "The Sorcerer Supreme? That sounds pretty impressive. I'd like to meet him sometime."

"Is there any hope for Barton?" Natasha asked, gripping Hermione's arm tightly.

She didn't care about the Infinity Stones or the cosmic crisis; she only cared about her comrades who had risked their lives for her.

"Don't worry, Natasha, it's nothing." Hermione patted the back of her hand, her tone relaxed. "I'll help him break free of the control next time we meet."

Natasha breathed a sigh of relief, holding Hermione's hand tightly, unwilling to let go.

Beside him, Steve finally understood why this little girl could be treated differently by so many people.

Love is a know-it-all!

I just don't know how she, at such a young age, has so much strange and wonderful knowledge.

"Ahem..." Dr. Banner pushed up his glasses and steered the conversation back on track, "No matter what kind of aliens come, if they want to invade Earth, they will definitely have to open a space portal."

“We have to rely on the Tesseract.” He paused and then added, “Loki is a madman; there’s no need to waste too much energy on him.”

"The most urgent task now is to find the Cosmic Cube."

“Watch your words,” Thor frowned, his tone unfriendly. “He’s an Asgardian, he’s my brother.”

Hill couldn't help but interject: "He killed eighty people in two days."

Thor choked, his expression froze, and after a few seconds he managed to stammer, "...He was adopted."

After saying that, Thor couldn't help but glance at Hermione.

Eighty people? You probably don't know, but there's a madman sitting here who can wipe out an entire clan in ten minutes.

Compared to her, Loki is practically a great philanthropist.

Watching Thor's face change so quickly, like a master of Sichuan opera face-changing, Hermione clicked her tongue inwardly.

What a ridiculous "plastic brotherhood"! It turns into adoption in a second. No wonder Loki is always plotting a rebellion.

Watching everyone chat, Tony stood by like a lackey, unable to get a word in edgewise, feeling incredibly uncomfortable.

It feels like the top students are giving a seminar while the underachievers are being punished by standing on the sidelines.
