The new mission was assigned by the internal system of the Heavenly Sword, and when it finally arrived at the unit where the paranormal team was located, almost everyone showed an expression of disbelief.

Because the simplest and most intuitive description of the mission objective is a skull that will catch fire.

"So this thing is real?" Pietro said that his worldview had been hit, "Are you really sure who didn't make this thing up? ”

"You can still hike at supersonic speeds at any time." Jessica complained, "For a paragon who is anti-physics in its own right, your receptivity is surprisingly poor. ”

"That's not the point, the point is that we really have to deal with this thing?" Gwen stared at the extremely blurry image in the document and hugged her arm, "But he makes me so uncomfortable, we're going to take him down?" Or do you want to co-opt him? No, before that, can we be sure that he's a superpowered or something? ”

The information given by the system about this guy is quite scarce, the identity is unknown, and there is not even a frontal photo. In terms of Heavenly Sword's monitoring ability, this is still quite a rare situation. In all the video materials related to this guy, he always has a blurry shadow to the extreme, and even if it is processed to the maximum extent with image enhancement technology, it is impossible to see it clearly.

The only explanation is that the other party has some special technology, or a mysterious power that can interfere with the video equipment, so all electronic surveillance systems are helpless against this guy.

Coupled with the fact that this person had only started his activities more than two weeks ago, and a week earlier, the world had just ushered in a large-scale invasion of the forty-first century, and the battle and the aftermath had taken up most of the resources of the Heavenly Sword, so no one had asked about this mysterious knight until now. It wasn't until two days ago that two SkySword agents stationed near Los Angeles were dispatched to carry out routine investigative procedures, but within twenty-four hours, the physical signs they were carrying showed that all signs of their life had ceased.

The two agents' vehicles were found outside a drug warehouse in Los Angeles, where a fire broke out the night before for unknown reasons. However, the bodies of the two have not been found.

Therefore, the matter has escalated from simple rumors to the category of "unconventional events", and it has naturally been handed over to this professional team.

Wanda looked at the blurry figure in the data image for a while, and frowned slightly. The subtle change in her expression was noticed by Gwen, who asked, "What's wrong, sister?" Do you recognize him? ”

"Nope." Wanda shook her head, "It just doesn't make me feel good all the time." It's just a gut feeling, but I have a feeling that this guy may have some mysterious powers, too. ”

"Magic?" Jessica crossed her arms, as if the word brought back some not-so-good memories of her, "I don't really like magic. ”

Eddie nodded repeatedly, "Venom says it agrees." ”

"Then it's up to Daisy and me to investigate." Wanda said, "We'll find out what the hell is going on with this 'knight'." ”

Daisy pointed to herself, "What?" I? ”

Latvia, now the king's palace.

A woman in a black coat walks in a majestic palace with high heels. She was dark-skinned, tall, and had a clear but determined light in her eyes, and she did not seem to be in the slightest trepidation at the sight of her imminent meeting of the most powerful man in the country.

When she came to the outside of the main hall, two guards guarding the door respectfully opened the door for her. She walked in without squinting, looking up at the man sitting on the throne, the cold man in a dark green cloak and wrapped in iron-gray armor.

"Is it really you, Victor?" She asked aloud, "Rumors are circulating everywhere that the new king is Victor von Doom, and is that really the Gypsy von Doom?" ”

The man in the throne lifted his steel mask and looked directly at her with a barely warm gaze.

"Valeria?" His diamond-like eyes seemed to falter slightly, "What are you doing here?" ”

If there are only a few people in this world who can be regarded as Dom's concern, Valeria is definitely one. Veleria was born into the same tribe as him, and they have been playmates since they were very young. After several twists and turns in the tribe, Doom lost both parents one after another, and Valeria stayed with him as a friend. Even when everyone in the clan began to distance themselves from Doom, Valeria's attitude towards him never changed.

For a moment, Durm almost thought that Valeria was the only one who could stand by his side, and that Valeria was the only one who was the most special of the rest of the world. When he left Latvia for the United States, he promised her that when he had enough strength, he would return to her sooner or later.

But that's all in the past.

"What do you want?" Doom said lightly.

"After all these years, the first thing you say when you meet is to ask me what I want?" Valeria said, but her face was blank, "It doesn't matter. I don't want anything, 'Your Majesty'. I just want to see for myself what has become of you. Now I see it, but I don't know what to do. ”

She tilted her head and seemed to look at Dom carefully for a moment.

"This armor," she said, "is what you sacrificed to change?" ”

"All you see is the outside, Valeria. And the man inside is no longer something you can understand. Doom closed his eyes slightly, "Not anymore." ”

Valeria looked at him intently, "Really? But what I see hasn't changed much from what it used to be. You're still you, Victor von Doom, a self-righteous megalomaniac who can't change anything even from sitting in that luxurious chair. No one but me can tolerate your weird temper, ever since you were very young. ”

Dum still had his eyes closed: "Guard, take her out." ”

"You can't even look me in the eye and speak, can you, Victor?" She asked again.

The armored guards walked in and grabbed Valeria's arm.

"Do you think you've got the power in your hands, Victor? You think you have power now? You're wrong! The guards pulled her out the door, but she didn't stop shouting, "You've just built a thicker wall between yourself and the world!" ”

Doom still didn't open his eyes.

The hall fell silent again. Doom sat quietly in his throne until Michael silently stepped out of the shadows behind his chair.

"Are you sure that's what you want, Victor?" He asked.
