Outer space, near the sun, the Heavenly Sword Bureau moves the space station.

The tail of the space station erupted with a pale blue tail flame, slowly approaching in the direction of the sun. They had just escaped Mercury's gravitational pull a few minutes earlier, and would be at their designated point in a few moments.

"The unmanned probe is being prepared for release, and the countdown is 3...... 2......1...... release. ”

The agent in front of the console pressed the button, the bottom of the cabin was opened, and the black drone slowly descended, spread its wings, and automatically sprayed tail flames in the direction of the sun. State-of-the-art detection equipment at the bottom of the machine is activated one after another, and it begins to scan and take all aspects of the sun's readings.

"So far, so good, the probe is scheduled to return in half an hour."

The agent in front of the console took a deep breath, took off his headphones, sat down in his chair and turned to his companion behind him.

"Good work, Lucas." The fellow agent behind him nodded.

Lucas smiled bitterly, "You know, John, when we signed to join Heavenly Sword, we never thought of doing something like this. ”

John and Lucas, both of whom were originally agents of the old S.H.I.E.L.D. But then, perhaps because the benefits weren't good enough, or maybe they were tired of the overly idealistic job of "protecting the world," they both chose to defect to Hydra — like many other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents of the time.

In the end, like many Hydra agents, they chose to join the command of Heavenly Sword when Hydra fell and the remnants were co-opted. So their mission is back to the beginning, "to protect the world".

"Whether it's Aegis or Hydra, we've seen a lot in our lives, but who would have thought that one day we would go to the universe?" Lucas looked out the window at the starry sky that was brightly reflected by the sun's rays, "And now, we haven't been back to the ground in two months. ”

"So how do you feel about your current job?" John asked.

"Very good. You don't have to shoot and kill all day long, and you don't have to die every day. And it's so much richer than it used to be, and it's not so monotonous anymore......" Lucas shrugged, paused, and said seriously, "I don't know what you think, John. But to be honest, although it wasn't bad to live in Hydra for a while, I always felt ...... It seems that something is missing in the bottom of my heart. And now, that thing has been recovered. It feels like ...... It's like I'm whole and meaningful again. ”

John was silent for a long time, looking out the window at the sun shining.

“...... yes, I think so too. ”

The two were silent in the cabin for a moment, until there was a screeching sound from the gauges. They knew that it was usually a reaction when an anomalous reading was detected, but when they looked closer, they found that the remote control screen of the unmanned detector was pitch black and nothing.

The link was interrupted by some external influence, and their detector did not respond.

Lucas immediately returned to the console and quickly proceeded to recover the data captured by the probe before the link was broken. The readings fluctuated unusually – but only for a moment, and it could not be ruled out that the instrument had malfunctioned when the detector had been damaged for a special reason.

"Send the fault report back to headquarters." John said.

Lucas nodded. While it's not clear if something really went wrong, it's a necessary process according to the charter.

The average distance between the Sun and the Earth is about 149.6 million kilometers, which is about 8.3 light minutes when converted into the speed of light. That is, it will take about 8.3 minutes for information traveling at the speed of light to fly back to Earth from this position.

The ensuing unfolding quickly proved that they were doing the right thing.

The various instruments screamed sharply one after another, as if they were sounding a high-risk alarm. Lucas quickly skimmed through the readings of all the instruments and couldn't help but be surprised: "This is...... Wormhole reaction? ”

"Wormholes?" John's expression became solemn. Will there be wormholes on the sun? Although he was not an expert in astronomy, he also knew that this kind of thing might not be seen every day.

"I ...... Up in the air. Lucas frowned and said, "That's so abnormal." There are clearly readings of the wormhole's energy, but the values are very stable and do not fluctuate, and it feels as if it is ...... It's like a locked door. ”

"What do you want to say?"

"I would say, maybe someone has built a wormhole from the other end." Lucas said as he tapped his fingers on the keyboard at a rapid pace, "That is, the key to open the door is on the other side of the door." This doesn't seem like a good thing anyway, and we have to send the message back as soon as possible, hoping that headquarters will know about the situation here. ”

"We're too close to the sun, Lucas." John glanced at the gauge and frowned, "The sun interferes with the signal, and we're not sure how long it will take them to get it." ”

As soon as the words fell, a piercing alarm sounded in the cabin, and the energy value of the wormhole also climbed to the peak. The milky white crack was torn open in the dark and empty space, and the black battleship that looked like a disc squeezed out of the crack and slowly headed towards the spaceship of the Heavenly Sword.

"Aliens?" John was surprised.

"Match identification is in progress."

Lucas said, quickly activating the identification process of the ship's computer. The Sky Sword spaceship has downloaded some of the Kree databases, and there are many caribex data of the biological races in the universe, which can be matched according to the energy signal characteristics and design patterns of the spacecraft to confirm which race the other party comes from.

"It's the Kerry." The results were quickly available on the computer's side.

"If I'm not mistaken, we don't have a good relationship with the Kree, do we?" "I guess they didn't come all the way here to give gifts. ”

The Kerry Battleship must have been aware of their presence, but did not pay attention to them in the first place. The disc battleship launched silvery-white components, cutting through the darkness and shooting towards the sun, until it hovered close to the sun's surface, automatically disintegrating into a ring shape, releasing high-energy rays, unknown what it was doing.

Then, the battleship slowly turned around and drove in the direction of the Heavenly Sword spaceship, like a falcon that pounced on the fledgling.

“...... John, better tell me the news has been sent. ”

John began to sweat on his forehead: "Not yet. The interference from the sun is so severe that it may take a while......"

"Great." Lucas looked out the window at the battleship, tightened the joystick, and said in a deep voice, "That means we're going to have to hold on to this big guy for as long as possible......"
