Chapter 106 Scepter
After returning to Avengers Tower, Rhaegar finally met Banner. .shung target="_nk">
As Rhaegar expected, before Thor brought the scepter back to Asgard, Tony asked him to do some simple tests and also use this time to celebrate. Thor did not After much thought, I readily agreed.
Rhaegar carefully retrieved the memory of this story in his mind. Thor seems to still not know that the thing inside is the Mind Stone, but Odin may not know it. Rhaegar needs to be careful about this, that old guy's His thoughts are extremely deep and difficult to deal with.
The more critical issue is that this gem does not belong to Loki, but to Thanos.
When Loki came to Earth, it was just a small test by Thanos to test the strength of the Avengers. After all, he would come to Earth to pick up things in the future. If the Avengers were too strong, he might need to do another experiment. Some preparation.
Although the mind gem can rewrite and control the minds of all things at will, this is only a theoretical description, and it can only be realized with the energy addition of other gems. How much power a single gem can really exert depends on the individual. And Rhaegar estimated that with his inferior mental power, the Mind Stone could only be used to control a few people, and nothing else could be done. It could be said that there was a mountain of gold sitting under his butt, but he just didn't know how to spend it. .
Thinking of this, Rhaegar suddenly felt a strong sense of urgency. Not only did Thanos possess the gems, but he also knocked down the Hulk with three punches and two kicks. His strength was beyond imagination. It is estimated that he will come to Earth soon. With the current growth rate of our own strength, it may not be enough by then.
Judging from what I remember, Thanos obviously has a deep understanding of gems and can exert super strength as soon as he gets them. In contrast, many people are afraid of the power of gems and have problems holding them. , not to mention control.
If Rhaegar took away the gems and did not give Tony a chance to study them, then he would not be able to create Ultron, and subsequent troubles would not occur, but the emergence of Vision would become a problem. But Rhaegar didn't care about this. One less Vision or one more Vision had no impact on him.
Moreover, if he wants to expel those spells from his mind, he must get the gems. It doesn't matter even if he becomes Thanos's focus, there will be a fight in the future anyway.
Moreover, now that he has obtained the gem, not to mention that he can control others, at least he can be immune to mind control. After the previous two painful lessons, this is very attractive to Rhaegar.
In addition, to perform mind surgery on himself, Rhaegar must find an absolutely safe place and be surrounded by people he absolutely trusts.
A safe place is easy to find, and the base he took from Hydra is a good place to go. And the only person Rhaegar can trust is Bakshi. Even Natasha, he doesn't dare to guarantee it. , because there are too many secrets in his mind. Once exposed, I am afraid that the world will face destruction.
Therefore, from all aspects, Rhaegar believed that he had to get this gem. I missed the Space Stone last time, but I can’t miss the Mind Stone this time.
The question is, how to keep the gems after getting them?
According to the situation in the previous life movie, Thor believed that Vision was able to keep the gems because he picked up Mjolnir.
There should be two reasons for this. One is that Vision, as a new robot, has a pure heart. When everyone tried to pick up the hammer, the captain moved the hammer slightly. Considering the captain's character, Vision was indeed "qualified" to keep it.
The second is that Vision's ability comes from the Mind Stone, and Mjolnir is blessed by Odin. The power level of the stone is naturally higher than that of Odin, so he can pick it up.
But Rhaegar had neither the ability nor the qualifications, so custody became a problem.
When Vision placed the gem on his forehead, and Vision's body was made of vibranium, then the vibranium should be able to withstand the power of the gem without being damaged. If vibranium was used to create an artifact, the gem would be placed on Inside, this problem is solved.
Thor plans to take the gem back to Asgard, so it is very clear that he will never give the gem to Rhaegar. Then, the only way left is to steal it.
Now that Tony has temporarily borrowed the scepter, it means that there are still three days of operation time. Who can steal it? Rhaegar suddenly thought of someone.
William Stryker, since the last operation on Natasha, Rhaegar has been hiding it, but he still goes over to check it from time to time, because the injection of the medicine has a time limit, and after the time limit has passed, I will also Will regain consciousness.
However, after learning about Whitehall's brainwashing technique, Rhaegar immediately arranged for Bakshi to transform Stryker, making him completely his own person and avoiding the trouble of constantly strengthening control.
Stryker also has several mutants under his command, especially Nightcrawler. The ability to teleport is very useful at any time, and it is absolutely perfect for him to perform this task.
Tony is preparing to organize a carnival, ostensibly to celebrate the victory, but actually to provide a cover for him and Banner to study the scepter.
The party was in three days, but Rhaegar would not wait three days.
After coming out of Avengers Tower, he immediately contacted Stryker and gave him orders.
Nightcrawler was very efficient. Rhaegar had told him the exact location where the scepter was kept, so he quickly brought it back.
Looking at the scepter in front of him, Rhaegar was extremely excited. Although he took a lot of risks, the gem was finally in his hands.
Next is the issue of gem storage.
Rega casually summoned Bakshi and told him information about an arms dealer. Although Rega didn't know the other party's name, based on his description, coupled with Hydra's underground arms trading information for so many years, Bakshi quickly locked in on the person Rega was talking about.
Because the matter was so important, after finding this person, Rega asked Bakshi to stay put for the time being, and he wanted to find the other person himself.
On the third night, everyone came to Avengers Tower as scheduled, preparing to spend a relaxing and happy night. However, after arriving, they discovered that there were only nine people in the original carnival. Rhaegar and his seven Avengers, plus Hill Roddy, Tony's best friend in the military.
"Tony, we have a carnival planned, why are there only these few people?" Rody, who has the best relationship with Tony, asked a little strangely.
"About this," Tony scratched his head, "I canceled temporarily."
"Cancelled, why?" Hill asked.
Tony looked at Banner beside him, who was rubbing his hands together, showing extreme nervousness.
"Well, because I have some bad news to tell everyone," Tony paused, "the scepter is missing."
