Chapter 597: The Fallen
Earth, the planet's surface.
A dazzling fire struck the sky, as if the sky was halved by everything. The flames shot through the atmosphere, trailing in a long trajectory and crashing into a wasteland with a loud thud.
Of course, this uninvited guest was immediately detected by various satellites and radars for deep space detection. The messages were sent back to the headquarters of Celestial Sword and Aegis respectively with almost synchronous efficiency, and Wanda as the acting commander and Daisy as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. received the news at the same time.
"Did you see that?" Daisy chose to contact Wanda as soon as possible.
"Yes, I see." Wanda stood in the command room of the Heavenly Sword Headquarters, answering her questions while being in charge of command and dispatch, "Shirley told me that it was very unusual, not just a meteorite. She said that there was a faint life response in that thing, so we might be dealing with an alien visitor. ”
"Well, I knew we wouldn't have a few days of peace." Daisy snorted, "This Kree has just left on the front foot." Do you need me to send someone? I can arrange for agents to set up a blockade and then send a couple of experts to take a look. ”
"No, I've already sent a Heavenly Sword team over." Wanda said, "I'll go to the scene in a moment and see it myself." Heavenly Sword will deal with this matter. ”
"Okay." Daisy paused for a moment and asked, "So, did you inform our chief?" ”
She felt that the timing of the alien's visit was too unfortunate, but the strongest firepower on this side of the earth was not at home at this time. Michael had left for Skrull forty-eight hours ago, after all, their allies had done a lot in the last battle with the Cree, and it was only right to thank them.
He also said that there were some things that needed to be discussed with the Skrulls. He didn't say what it was, but Wanda knew it had something to do with the Godslayer.
Wanda shook her head: "Not yet." We're not sure what the situation is yet, it's just an alien, and I don't think he's here to invade. Shirley said that his breath was very weak when he entered the atmosphere, and that he was probably in a near-death state now. In contrast, we think it's more likely that the other person just happened to be passing by. ”
"I hope so."
Daisy didn't say anything more. But for some reason, she had a very bad premonition. It's like...... It's as if things have never been as bad as this time, even after all that has been going through.
But that's just a feeling, and there's no evidence. So she shook her head, brushing these unrealistic intuition behind her, not thinking about it for a while.
It only took a few minutes to travel between the mothership and the surface of the earth with the Kerry shuttle, and in a few moments Wanda was on the surface himself as the acting commander. The scene had been cordoned off by agents when she fell, and a cordon had been set up around it, and there was a huge pit in the center of the blockade, and in the pit lay what looked like ...... A human?
Yes, it looked like a human, but in a strange uniform, a golden helmet like a bucket, and its head tilted to one side and unconscious.
"What's the situation?"
"I don't know, sir." Seeing the commander coming, the agent in charge hurriedly stood up and saluted, "But our equipment shows that the other party's body continues to radiate some kind of radioactive energy, the composition is something we have never seen before, but it is estimated that it will not have any effect on the human body." The rest of the values are still being tested, but they can't be ...... yet."
Before he could finish speaking, Wanda had already crossed the cordon and walked towards the pothole. The agent hurriedly reminded, "Wait a minute, we haven't finished testing yet." There may be other hidden dangers in his radiation, and the other party itself may be dangerous......"
"Thanks for the reminder, Agent, but I'll take over next."
Wanda said, chaos magic wrapping around her body, lingering like a looming streamer. She floated down the pit and landed like a feather beside the unconscious man, crouching down gently.
Chaos magic can isolate her from any negative influences around her, and she can be protected from the harsh environment of the universe, and isolating radiation is naturally just a piece of cake.
And after following Michael for so long, Wanda also has a clearer understanding of her own strength level. She knew that her personal combat power was already at the upper level in the interstellar world, and there were only a handful of strong people in the universe who could threaten her with her personal strength, so it was unlikely that the dying person in front of her would pose much of a threat to her.
Wanda stretched out her slender white fingers, and the magic power was gently released along the fingertips. A faint red light lingered around the man, and the other person's eyelids moved heavily, and soon they struggled to support it.
The other party was at first dazed, and looked at Wanda a little dazed for a moment, but seemed to quickly recall the environment he was in and what he had to do. He groaned a few times and tried his best to sit up, but Wanda stopped him.
"You're badly injured, it's best not to move." Wanda said, "You're on Earth right now. Can you tell me what's going on? Or who are you? What are you doing here? ”
The man gasped heavily, and then said with difficulty, "I am...... I am a Nova, a member of the Nova Legion. I'm here to tell you something very important......"
"Wait a minute," Wanda wondered, "you just said the new ...... Nova? What is that? ”
The man's tone was like the name that everyone should know who he was. But it was obvious that everyone around, including Wanda, was confused, with a "who is that, haven't heard of" expression.
The man was suddenly surprised. He is now on Earth, one of the most closed planets in the universe. The Nova Legion is well-known in the interstellar world, but it is not so easy to put it here.
So he had to explain first: "Our Nova Legion is a Space Patrol Corps responsible for maintaining interstellar peace, and we have always fought for the peace of the universe with the mission of fighting against conquerors, dictators, and interstellar criminals. It has been this for many years, but now we ...... We are in the midst of a crisis of unprecedented magnitude. ”
As he spoke, his face darkened.
"The Nova Legion has been attacked, a terrifying force that even we can't fight. We've had a lot of deaths...... Very many people. And the reason why I escaped and came here desperately is so that the same thing does not happen again on Earth. ”
Wanda heard in a fog: "What do you mean?" What happened? Who are we going against? ”
"Thanos." The Nova had a gloomy face, "You are fighting against Thanos, the most formidable enemy this universe has ever seen. ”
