He looked somewhat like a florist, but not quite — more like a rooster with claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His clothes were intact, and there were no visible wounds. However, his face was twisted in agony, his eyes bulging, and a trace of lingering fear remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Members of the Hand undergo rigorous training from childhood. In terms of physical endurance and mental fortitude, they're almost superhuman compared to ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can kill them, but you can't make them afraid — they're not afraid of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can torture them, but they've already endured the worst tortures imaginable. They won't betray the Hand over a little pain. Even if they survived by yielding, the Hand would hunt them down without mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why people who understand the Hand often call them \"mad ninjas.\" The name fits — they're utterly insane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet now, this group of ninjas — even in death — had expressions of terror frozen on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear they had experienced unimaginable torment before dying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And not physical — but mental.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blaine's mouth twitched. He took out the Bow of Elements and incinerated the bodies one by one, eliminating any evidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, let's go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blaine rubbed Gali's head, took her hand, and headed back to the villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hand had clearly found his location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also understood that they had probably issued a kill order against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it didn't matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one came, he'd kill one. If two came, he'd kill a pair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention Gali — even Blaine alone could easily take care of these ninjas, who were nothing more than highly trained humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When things settled down a bit, he might find a chance to have a little \"talk\" with Madam Gao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the following days, Blaine and Gali spent their time relaxing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Games, singing, swimming, playing ball…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Blaine had done all this before, doing it with Gali was a completely different experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only issue was that Gali truly lived up to her reputation as omniscient and omnipotent — she could play anything, even invent her own games on the fly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, being all-knowing wasn't a good thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Blaine and Gali were enjoying their peaceful days…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsewhere in the United States — at a S.H.I.E.L.D. base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long ago, an urgent directive had been issued ordering all S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel to evacuate in an orderly manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nick Fury had just arrived at the base by helicopter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his personal aide, Phil Coulson had been waiting for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's the situation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All around, agents were executing emergency evacuation protocols.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wearing his trademark black trench coat, Nick Fury walked briskly toward the underground base, questioning Coulson beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Four hours ago, Dr. Selvig detected a surge of energy from the Tesseract,\" Coulson replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The space agency never authorized any testing,\" Fury said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There was no test. The doctor wasn't even in the room,\" Coulson explained. \"It activated on its own.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's the current energy level?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's rising. When we confirmed the doctor couldn't shut it down, an emergency evacuation was ordered.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How long until everyone's out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury looked tired. A lot had happened recently — monsters, bounty hunters, a storm on a Manhattan dock… and now this — the Tesseract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Another thirty minutes, tops,\" Coulson answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Make it happen,\" Fury said with a nod, and headed toward the lab with Agent Hill, where the Tesseract was held.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coulson stayed behind to continue coordinating the evacuation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, I don't think evacuating is going to help much,\" Agent Hill said as she followed Fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What, should we let them sleep in their beds?\" Fury shot back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew full well that evacuation was pointless. If the Tesseract's energy continued to rise unchecked, it could wipe out the entire planet. No place would be safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we can't stabilize the Tesseract, I fear—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury cut her off. \"Unless it's the end of the world, we do what needs to be done. Now make sure the second-stage prototype is relocated, and get all related equipment out. Move.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Yes, sir,\" Hill replied, though she looked a little defeated. Fury was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tesseract began to flicker violently, emitting massive surges of energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire S.H.I.E.L.D. base — and the ground beneath it — shook violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury's eyes widened as he rushed into the lab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Doctor, what the hell is going on?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Tesseract is emitting interference and radiation uncontrollably!\" Dr. Selvig said in a panic, staring at the rapidly changing data on the monitor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could say more, the Tesseract began to pulse even harder. Violent energy ripples filled the air. A low hum grew into a loud buzzing as the energy condensed—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, at its peak, a vortex formed in the center of the lab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive space wormhole slowly opened before their eyes. Beyond it — a vast, endless starfield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone — Fury, Dr. Selvig, the agents — stood frozen, stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wormhole collapsed inward violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In its place stood a lone figure, half-kneeling on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, the figure stood up. He was dressed in strange, ceremonial armor, and held a scepter in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Loki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight of him stunned everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, please put down the spear,\" Nick Fury said, turning to face the intruder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loki stared blankly at the scepter in his hand, then slowly aimed it at the armed agents in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scepter glowed. With a sudden hum, it unleashed a blast of energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attack caught the agents off guard. Gunfire erupted in response, but it was useless. Loki barely flinched, and within seconds, he had taken them all down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he turned the Mind Stone-embedded scepter toward Hawkeye, Clint Barton, just like in the movie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pulse of energy surged outward and struck Barton's chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are special,\" Loki said quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barton's eyes gradually darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, he returned to his original state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Loki smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth, retracted the scepter, and moved on to control the next agent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*************************************\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can get access to early chapters on patr*on\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you like my work and you want to support me then you can become my patron on patre*n.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My patr*on account is Lord_Immortal_0170\u003C\u002Fp>",1097,"2026-06-06T09:11:28.860Z",1,"novelbin.me","f2e17ec5fd449a795821b7f59ad780f9d5abf246a6b714337f1f29347cd7ea6e","marvel-hunter-chapter-102","marvel-hunter-chapter-300",411,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-hunter-cover.jpg"]
