On the half-forested deck of the Guardian of Nature, S.H.I.E.L.D. Airbus landed slowly.

Coulson and his team set foot on this magical ark that was larger than the S.H.I.E.L.D. aerospace aircraft carrier for the first time.

"Wow...... None of the instruments have scanned anything here, and it's not visible to the naked eye! ”

Fitz was so excited that he was a little incoherent:

"Is it invisible? But even if it's S.H.I.E.L.D.'s stealth masking technology, it's only optically invisible......"

"Well, I think Bruce can probably explain a thing or two to you."

Oakes remembered that he had promised to take them on a tour before, so he waved his hand:

"Come with me."

"Wow! Dr. Bruce Banner! ”

Both Fitz and Simmons were excited, the super-big guy who was still alive and hung on the wall along with many of the top seniors in science!

"I heard there's Stark Industries' Ark reactor here!"

"I wonder if Dr. Banner would like me to take some blood and study it......"

Well, the front is what Fitz said, and the back, of course, is Simmons......

"It's rare to relax, although I've heard that you've moved to a very stylish place, but this is the first time I've seen you."

Even the well-informed Melinda had to be stunned by the magnificent landscape in front of her:

"Oakes, it's hard to imagine that a few years ago you were selling potted plants in a small shop."

“…… Maybe I should thank you both. ”

Oakes also showed a look of reminiscence in his eyes, and shook his head with a smile:

"If you and Coulson hadn't discovered the existence of the Rendekai, maybe I'd still be selling bonsai right now?"

"No way, a guy like you would never be nestled in a small shop."

Coulson shrugged:

"But what I regret most is that I didn't convince you to come to S.H.I.E.L.D. as an agent, otherwise you'd probably be over level eight by now."

“…… Good thing you didn't make it, Coulson. ”

Ward found Simmons, a fan of Oakes, to learn about him along the way, and had to sigh when he heard it:

"If Dr. Oakes becomes a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, I'm afraid we mortals won't have a mission to do."

"That's an exaggeration, Agent Ward."

Oakes took a deep look at the Hydra agent who didn't seem to be touching the Berserker's cane and wasn't so dark in his heart at the moment:

"I'm an Avenger now, and I'm not a model worker either, and I'm more of a Tony guy who likes to appear in front of people.

Bruce and I are both relatively low-key and generally prefer to stay in the lab.

Well, Steve is also busy, he not only has to manage the security matters of the Rende Society, but also has to go to S.H.I.E.L.D. part-time, and has a lot of motivational endorsements. ”

"Captain America, ......"

Ward's eyes lit up:

"Is Mr. Captain here? I haven't seen him at S.H.I.E.L.D. either......

Missions that require him to do so, generally I don't have access to them. ”

"Although Captain Steve is not officially affiliated with S.H.I.E.L.D., he also has eighth-level clearance."

Coulson smiled and looked at Ward, then turned to Oakes with some nervousness:

"But, um, Oakes, if the captain is there, um...... My Collector's Edition......"

"Oh I forgot, you huge Steve fan......"

Oakes patted his head:

"He's on a mission to S.H.I.E.L.D., and it's probably hard to see him before you leave.

But you might be able to wait and see if you go straight to Washington. ”

"What...... Rabbit? ”

“……”

While everyone was chatting, Skye was sullenly following.

Even the never-before-seen spectacle aboard the Peacekeeper only made her feel better.

Well, just a little bit.

"Coulson!"

She stepped forward, pulled Coulson aside, and stared into his eyes:

"You just left me like that?"

"Listen, Skye, we're all reluctant to have you, but remember what I just said to you?"

Coulson looked at Skye's long windswept hair and patted her on the shoulder:

"Here at Oaks, you'll have a whole new life, and maybe a chance to keep looking.

As long as Oakes promises something, it will definitely be fulfilled.

And S.H.I.E.L.D. is nowhere near as safe for you as it is here—

Secrets can't always be secrets, and once your identity is revealed, those people will never let you go. ”

"Well, you've already told you why."

Skye was still a little excited:

"Yes...... But I want to be a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent!

What can I do in an environmental nonprofit? Do you spend all day helping others plant trees? ”

"A few years ago it might have been, but not anymore - there are three Avengers here."

Coulson gave her a reassuring smile:

"When we find out the truth, if you still want to be a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, I will personally pick you up and return to the team!"

"It's decided!"

"Hmm."

……

Bruce Banner, Houyson, Maya Hansen, and Oakes himself, four top scientists in different fields, make up the bulk of Oaktree Environmental Technologies.

Fitz and Simmons are geniuses, but they're still too young.

For them, it is a rare thing to be able to consult these senior leaders who have outstanding achievements in their respective fields in person, and they have full understanding.

Melinda finds Gollum in the forest, and Ward, though he doesn't get to see Steve, seems to be more interested in traveling around the entire ark.

Oakes didn't care much about that.

What he made them see was public.

If they don't see it, they may not be able to see it, even if they know magic.

Oakes found classmate Zhang to take Skye to familiarize himself with the environment, strictly speaking, these two are fellow countrymen.

However, the S.H.I.E.L.D. people weren't able to stay long.

Because of the communication from the headquarters, they detected a huge energy fluctuation -

Located in the atmosphere, the exact location is above the Guardian of Nature.

"Boom-"

The glow of the Rainbow Bridge blinded the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

Skye opened his mouth and couldn't close it—

The rainbow bridge that Thor rode in her heart?!

It's a pity that it wasn't Thor who came, it was a heavily armed female warrior.

"Oh, it's Miss Shy...... Welcome to Earth. ”

Oakes subconsciously glanced at the sky, Loki this guy......

"Oaks Sage, sorry to interrupt!"

Sif saluted Oakes, and the stunned S.H.I.E.L.D. realized what Oakes' status as a "sage" meant in Asgard.

Coulson knew Sif and knew Sif well.

"I'm here with a mission from the Father of the Gods - the Earth is in danger!"

Sif looked serious:

"I'm chasing a fugitive named Lorelei.

Six hundred years ago, she used her power to cause the catastrophe of the Nine Kingdoms.

She escaped when the celestial bodies converged and used Loki's spatial passage to Earth. ”

When Oakes heard this, he immediately looked at Coulson:

"Well, S.H.I.E.L.D. happens to be here, and they're the best at finding someone."
