After being defeated by Thor, Loki is banished by Odin to the Land of Silence, a place capable of driving any being mad. There, time flows differently, and Loki spends centuries in complete isolation, while in Midgard only a short time passes. With his mind sharpened by hatred, he realizes that the barriers between the worlds are weakened: not enough to escape, but enough to spread his influence through whispers and manipulations. Using this power, Loki influences scientists to explore the barrier and manipulates Bruce Banner to unleash the Hulk in New York, keeping Thor occupied. However, the chaos attracts the attention of other heroes: Iron Man, Ant-Man, and Wasp join the fight. After a devastating confrontation, the Hulk is finally contained. Nick Fury, director of SHIELD, then reveals that it was all a distraction created by Loki. The god of lies' plan was a success. He escapes with the help of Dr. Erik Selvig and even steals SHIELD's most powerful project: the Cosmic Cube, an artifact of limitless power that was once in the hands of the Red Skull. Thor decides to face his brother alone, but Fury warns him that the threat is greater than it seems. With Loki emerging in New York at the head of an army, ready to dominate the Nine Realms from Earth, the heroes unite. They are the planet's last line of defense—and, if they fail to protect it, they will avenge it.
