Chapter 91: Ch.91 God of Mischief Got Pranked
"So, Mr. Reindeer, are you not planning on telling me now?"
Charlie aimed the scepter at a nearby skyscraper. "I can be really evil, you know!"
"You… you annoying guy."
Tuxedo Loki took a deep breath, clearly frustrated.
So, being a hero is this suffocating?
How did Thor manage to keep it up?
"Alright, I'll tell you how to use the scepter," Loki seemed to give in. "You need to learn some mental magic first to be able to use the Mind Stone's abilities, like hypnosis magic."
Charlie frowned, "Magic again. I hate magic."
"So, does using the Space Stone also require learning space magic first?" He looked at Loki with a strange expression.
Tuxedo Loki nodded, "Yes."
"Do you know space magic?"
"I don't."
As soon as he said that, Charlie brushed the gem on the scepter, making it glow with energy.
"Wait, I do!" Tuxedo Loki quickly said.
Charlie laughed, "Great. Being a villain really feels awesome."
The next second, Loki continued, "Actually, I just learned about it, but I haven't mastered it. To be precise, the success rate is zero."
"But the Space Stone can infinitely increase the success rate of space magic."
Hearing this, Charlie seemed to ponder.
"So if you don't know the corresponding magic, then you can't use an Infinity Stone, is that right?" he asked.
Loki shook his head, "Not necessarily. Special tools can help a user unleash the power of the Infinity Stones."
"The Infinity Gauntlet?" Charlie raised an eyebrow.
"Uh, are you talking about the one in the Asgardian treasure vault?"
"No, I mean the one Thanos has."
When Thanos was mentioned, fear flashed in Tuxedo Loki's eyes, as if it brought up some horrible memory.
Charlie continued, "Thanos doesn't seem to know any magic, but he can use any Infinity Stone's power without relying on the Gauntlet."
"Is that true?"
Tuxedo Loki exhaled, regaining his composure, "Not all Infinity Stones require magic. There are multiple ways to use them, and special tools are just a means to harness the power of the Stones."
"For certain special species in the universe, using an Infinity Stone isn't that difficult."
"But Earthlings can only unleash the Mind Stone's basic abilities using my scepter."
"If they want to further master the Mind Stone, the simplest way is to learn mind-related magic."
"Alright, teach me hypnosis magic then," Charlie said.
Tuxedo Loki was taken aback, "Now?"
"Of course."
"Alright, just follow me in chanting the spell…"
"Wait, I don't want to learn anymore."
Seeing how agreeable Loki was, Charlie gave up on the idea without hesitation.
Spider-Man won't be fooled so easily anymore.
Loki was much more cunning than Hydra Captain, and Charlie wasn't going to trust him.
"Do you know where this world's Loki went?" Charlie asked.
"You want to?" Loki's heart skipped a beat.
"Yes, you wouldn't want this world's Loki to lead the Chitauri army to Earth either, would you?"
Charlie felt like he was becoming a professional villain.
And his persistent attitude made Loki quite intrigued.
In Loki's mind, a thug offering his services was better than nothing.
He was confident that he could persuade Charlie to work for him.
So, Tuxedo Loki smiled.
"I'm willing to help you with that."
He slowly closed his eyes, as if sensing something.
Charlie looked curious. "Can you sense this world's Loki?"
"No, I'm listening."
"Listening to what?"
"Thunder."
"There!"
The next moment, Loki opened his eyes, looking at a flash of lightning on the horizon with a slight smile.
"Heimdall will send Thor to Loki's side. Where Thor is, Loki is."
Charlie looked back at Loki as he tapped his nano device. Loki appeared puzzled.
"What are you doing?"
"Recording the time and place Thor appeared, so I can tell you directly next time."
Loki: "?????"
Such a strange guy.
Quickly, as the red and blue nanometal covered his body, Charlie shot out his webbing, swinging toward the skyscraper.
"Wait, you haven't taken me with you!" Tuxedo Loki shouted, chasing after him.
...
In no time, in the forested outskirts, Charlie swung and landed on the treetop, noticing the space ahead seemed distorted.
"There's magic. Someone used magic to alter the environment here," Loki frowned.
"This is dark magic!" He thought of the dark elves who had invaded Asgard, his expression darkening.
That time, his mother had died at the hands of the dark elves—something he regretted deeply.
Charlie, unaware of Loki's emotions, cautiously swung to the side.
"A detour."
Because up ahead was the abandoned warehouse where Tony and Steve had agreed to fight.
If all went as expected, those two were probably already taken out by Dark Stephen.
Rustle~
The treetops swayed slightly as Charlie and Tuxedo Loki swung past, using webbing to maneuver.
After a brief practice, Loki had become proficient with the web shooter.
Soon, on the coastal cliffs…
The two landed on a treetop near the forest, observing the surroundings.
"There's residual magic energy. Loki was here," Tuxedo Loki said.
Charlie frowned, "Then where did he go?"
Loki shook his head, "I don't know. He has the Space Stone, so it's hard to track his movements."
"The strangest thing is, Thor is gone too. Maybe we're too late."
"No, it doesn't seem too late."
Suddenly, a blue portal appeared on the cliff, and a familiar figure emerged from it.
"It's this world's Loki."
Tuxedo Loki spoke, and several clones appeared in the green magic light.
They cautiously approached and surrounded Horned Loki.
Seeing this, Charlie grew curious.
Can clones also use magic?
"Can you handle him?" he asked.
Tuxedo Loki nodded, "No problem. The Space Stone is too crucial. They wouldn't leave it with just a clone."
Charlie nodded, "Makes sense."
"Got him!"
The next second, with the ambush by the clones, Horned Loki was easily captured.
The two approached quickly, with Tuxedo Loki swiftly taking the Tesseract from Horned Loki's hands.
"I got it." Tuxedo Loki smiled.
"Congratulations."
Instead of being angry, Horned Loki laughed. Charlie immediately had a bad feeling.
Buzz~
Suddenly, the Tesseract emitted a bright light, and the next second, the three of them were transported to a barren planet.
"Hahaha, welcome to my world."
Under the brilliant starlight, Horned Loki laughed as countless Chitauri soldiers emerged from the surrounding hills.
"What?!"
Tuxedo Loki looked down to see the Tesseract had already vanished from his hand, and his face turned dark.
"As the God of Mischief, I just got pranked."
