Marvel: I, Hermione, am from Hogwarts!

Finally, the mystical topic of magic came to an end, and Banner brought up the topic of portals.

science!

We've finally arrived in his territory!

Tony seized the opportunity and quickly jumped in, interrupting, "Loki needs high-density energy to open the portal."

Hill glanced at him: "When did you start studying thermonuclear astrophysics?"

“Just last night.” Tony looked at him with a “is that so hard?” expression.

"You can understand this by just flipping through Selvig's research papers."

"Didn't any of you do your homework?" Tony's expression practically screamed "I'm a genius."

The others simply ignored his smug look.

Only Banner seemed to have found a kindred spirit, teaming up with Tony and starting to flatter each other, talking at length about scientific principles.

Fury frowned, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

“Um…” Dr. Banner pushed up his glasses and looked at Hermione, “Could I borrow your scepter for a moment?”

"I want to analyze its rays; maybe I can find clues to the Cosmic Cube."

Hermione readily agreed: "Take it."

……

Everyone went about their own business, and Hermione wandered aimlessly around the mothership.

After thinking for a moment, she walked toward the special cell where Loki was being held.

"Hey, isn't this the God of Tricks? Long time no see."

Hermione strolled slowly to the front of the cell and peered at Loki through the glass.

Loki still wore that cynical smile.

"Indeed, it's been a long time, wizard of Midgard."

Hermione raised an eyebrow and instantly Apparated into the cell.

Loki was not surprised by her sudden appearance; he simply looked at her with interest without saying a word.

Hermione waved her hand, creating a transparent barrier around the two of them, isolating them from sound and sight.

Seeing this and confirming that he was not being listened to, Loki finally spoke slowly, a hint of mystery on his face.

"You got the scepter?"

Hermione nodded slowly.

Chapter 124 Don't Touch My Scepter!

"So, what exactly have you been doing all this time?"

Hermione asked him about his experiences in the void.

She gave Loki two tasks: to trick Thanos into giving him the Mind Scepter and to lure the Chitauri army to Earth.

But this only pointed Loki in the right direction; how he actually carried it out was up to him.

Loki didn't hide anything and began to recount his experiences over the past few days.

From deliberately falling into the rift to drifting through the void and being discovered by Thanos's men, everything unfolded exactly as Hermione had predicted.

Loki spoke while observing Hermione's reaction.

He noticed that Hermione didn't care about Thanos; instead, she was more concerned about the Chitauri.

This made Loki even more certain that Hermione's understanding of the universe far exceeded his imagination, and that her goal was definitely not just a mind control scepter.

"You...you're not lying to me, are you?"

After recounting his experiences, Loki suddenly asked a question.

His voice carried hesitation, anticipation, and a hint of fear.

"Can it really help me avert Ragnarok, save Asgard and my mother, and allow me to sit on the throne?"

He stared intently at Hermione.

The prophetic images haunted him like a nightmare.

The destruction of Asgard and the death of Frigga haunted him, and he desperately wanted to change everything.

Hermione chuckled softly, her tone certain: "Of course."

"I always keep my promises."

She paused, a sly glint in her eyes: "But, as you know, there's no such thing as a free lunch."

"You have to give to receive."

"The more you want, the more you have to give; only obedience brings rewards."

Hermione began her manipulative tactics: "Are you ready to submit?"

Loki nodded in understanding.

From the moment he entered the Void and encountered Thanos and the Chitauri, he had already become a firm believer in Hermione's prophecy.

I don't know why Hermione is so keen on aliens.

But thinking of those desperate scenarios for the future, he had no choice but to rely on Hermione.

……

As soon as Hermione stepped into the laboratory after leaving Loki's place, she sensed something was wrong.

The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder, as if it were about to set people on fire.

There was also an extra-large, outlandish-looking gun on the table.

The moment Tony saw her, he rushed over as if he'd found a savior, pointed at Fury's nose, and began to complain:

"You've come at the right time! Come and judge this! This one-eyed bastard has been secretly using the Tesseract to build weapons of mass destruction behind our backs."

Fury wasn't about to be outdone; he straightened his neck and raised his voice an octave higher:

"Stark, how dare you hack into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s servers! I'm doing this for the safety of Earth! If we don't build weapons, how will we defend against aliens?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Thor, seemingly unintentionally.

Thor was furious when he saw this: "Hermione said long ago that it was because of your mess that Loki and the Chitauri were brought here!"

"By using the Cosmic Cube to build weapons, you are sending a signal to the outside world that Earth is ready for advanced warfare!"

The group was arguing fiercely, spitting everywhere.

Hermione frowned; she could sense a strange fluctuation emanating from the Mind Scepter beside her.

The fluctuation was very subtle; if she hadn't possessed strong mental power, she really wouldn't have been able to detect it.

"It seems this is Loki's backup plan," she thought to herself.

Using the power of the Mind Scepter, they stirred up conflict among the people, causing them to fight amongst themselves.

The crowd's emotions were clearly affected, and they became increasingly irritable.

Even the usually composed Steve began to frown.

The group argued so passionately that they couldn't help themselves, completely unaware that a fighter jet was quietly approaching the aircraft carrier in the sky.

Seeing that Dr. Banner was becoming increasingly agitated, and that a scepter had appeared in his hand without anyone noticing.

This scene made everyone hold their breath.

Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on Dr. Banner, fearing he might make a move.

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound broke the eerie silence.

Hermione didn't care about anything else and slapped Dr. Banner's hand across the back.

"Don't touch my scepter!"

Although the voice was not loud, it was irrefutable.

Dr. Banner winced in pain, instinctively clutching the back of his hand, and his eyes cleared considerably.

Everyone:...

Cold sweat broke down all at once.

This young lady is incredibly bold! What if that slap sends Hulk flying...?

Fury secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Dealing with Hermione requires a super-sized heart.

You never know what shocking thing she'll do next.

"This kid is so arrogant. Do you think you can just provoke Dr. Banner like that?" Steve thought helplessly.
