Skye was an orphan, and from a young age, she had one wish: to find her birth parents.
For this, she even became a rare genius hacker.
Years passed, and while she didn't find her birth parents, she developed an extreme curiosity for all kinds of secrets.
Skye knew that curiosity could kill the cat, but whenever she encountered various secrets, she couldn't help but want to investigate and explore them.
After joining the 'Rising Tide' organization, as a hacker, Skye found her guiding principle for exploring secrets: to defend the freedom and right to know of the populace.
Especially when they learned about 'S.H.I.E.L.D.', a behind-the-scenes organization that constantly hid the truth, it was like finally discovering the ultimate boss after many levels.
This made the Rising Tide organization full of energy, determined to expose S.H.I.E.L.D.'s true face.
This was their justice!
Skye never felt that deeply digging into secrets was wrong, even if it involved some improper or even illegal means.
Just like this time, secretly investigating this Villa, although it put Skye in danger, she never regretted it in her heart.
But now, Skye was plunged into deep fear.
The owner of this Villa was Rimuru Tempest, and she was the Super Hero 'Blue Angel'!
That wasn't the issue; what truly shocked Skye was that Rimuru was also the King of Jotunheim among the Nine Realms.
Earth, also called Midgard, is a transportation hub of the Nine Realms, surrounded by powerful enemies.
This information was not a secret among the Council and the high-ranking officials of various countries in the World.
What was more critical was that Earth was about to face a threat from space Bandits called Chitauri, and they were about to attack Earth!
Oh, my God!
Skye felt her head was extremely muddled; just as she had just learned of the definite existence of extraterrestrial life, she discovered that aliens were already about to reach her doorstep.
With Aiya present, all the highest-level Military secrets held no secrets from her.
To completely defeat the Chitauri, the Military simulated various scenarios for confronting the Chitauri.
But because they knew too little about the Chitauri, as well as their technology and weapons, the chances of winning were extremely low for any plan.
There were even extreme plans to directly abandon New York and use civilians as bait, with nuclear bombs even being part of the plan!
Seeing this, Skye's heart turned cold.
It was impossible not to feel Fire.
As a true New Yorker, she herself was one of those who would be abandoned.
But could she reveal the secret?
Skye sadly realized that the answer was — no!
Alien invasion; if something went wrong, the entire Earth could be completely overrun, and Earth civilization would vanish.
If she were to expose this secret now, the Earth might fall into chaos before the Chitauri even arrived.
Then she would become a sinner of Earth!
Skye rubbed her deeply furrowed brow, her heart infinitely conflicted.
She had always taken exploring hidden secrets as her core philosophy, priding herself as a righteous fighter defending the people's freedom and right to know.
But when she truly uncovered the biggest secret of her life, she precisely couldn't reveal it!
"You seem very troubled. Why?"
Aiya's voice rang out in the room.
Skye thought for a moment and said, "Aiya, your Master, Blue Angel, knows so many secrets, and most of them concern the life and death of humanity, and even the Nine Realms. It must be very difficult to keep so many secrets and not be able to share them with anyone!"
Aiya: "It's not difficult. Master eats when she should, plays when she should, and sleeps when she should. It seems simple!"
"..."
Skye didn't give up and pressed, "Has your Master never had a moment of distress?"
Aiya: "Yes, she has!"
Skye's eyes lit up, "When? And how did she get through it?"
Aiya: "Master's most distressed moment should be when she couldn't get a gacha pull. As for how she got through it? Looking at the almanac, drawing talismans, worshipping gods, burning incense, and bathing—none of these worked! Just being a'salted fish' for a few days was enough!"
Skye felt life was meaningless.
Seeking spiritual solace from Blue Angel, she had indeed made a mistake!
Skye lay on the sofa, in a 'Ge You' slouch, with'salted fish' eyes.
She was truly in a dilemma, completely unsure of what to do!
S.H.I.E.L.D.
All the staff were working overtime.
Nick Fury looked at Hill, who already had thick dark circles under her eyes, and asked, "Have the satellites detected any alien spacecraft?"
Hill: "No. The Chitauri might not have arrived yet, or they might have already arrived, but our Earth's reconnaissance methods cannot detect the location of their spacecraft!"
Nick Fury took a deep breath, "Thank you for your hard work, please continue monitoring!"
Hill nodded, "Yes!"
Communication channel.
Nick Fury directly connected Tony Stark's call.
"Four days have passed, and S.H.I.E.L.D. has not detected any signs of a spaceship. Have you found anything on your end?"
A virtual projection appeared, revealing Tony Stark's tired Shadow.
"No. Stark Industries' satellites, which I've already upgraded, are the most cutting-edge technology on Earth right now. But they haven't detected any trace of the Chitauri. I suspect the Chitauri might not be coming via spaceship!"
Hearing Stark's analysis, Nick Fury's eyebrows twitched.
He had also considered Stark's conjecture, but precisely because he had considered it, he felt even worse.
Whether it was Rimuru's teleportation gate or Asgard's Bifrost Bridge, they were too convenient and too high-end; Earth currently had no means of dealing with them.
Nick Fury: "What about Rimuru's side? Does agamotto's orb give more specific hints?"
Tony Stark shook his head, "Rimuru said that agamotto's orb can only foresee danger. It doesn't give very detailed hints about how the danger will occur. If we don't borrow troops, Earth's defense will still have to rely on ourselves!"
Nick Fury: "Yes, we can only rely on ourselves!"
Tony Stark, "Director, four days have passed. It's time to make a decision!"
Nick Fury: "Good!"
Nick Fury, as the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., made a direct call to the President's office.
"Four days have passed; we can't hesitate any longer. Mr. President, it's time to make a decision and evacuate the citizens!"
The President had an immense headache; he never expected that just as his term was about to end, he would be saddled with something as troublesome as an alien invasion.
Looking at all the Council members staring at him, the President said in a deep voice, "Organize the evacuation of citizens from New York and its surroundings under the pretext of a terrorist attack!"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing the President's order, all the Council members breathed a sigh of relief.
The President had relented; they finally had a reason to do various things.
Three hundred meters underground.
In a secret dark matter research institute.
On an experimental platform representing Earth's most cutting-edge technology, the Tesseract became increasingly active, its blue light intensifying, constantly releasing gamma rays.
Watching the constantly soaring gamma index on the computer, Dr. Selvig cried out in alarm.
"Oh no, the Tesseract's energy is too active! Quickly cut off the power supply channel!"
Several staff members immediately pressed the shutdown button, but it had no effect whatsoever.
"The wires, quickly pull out the wires!"
But even after the wires were pulled out, the energy could not be cut off.
And at this moment, the Tesseract's energy erupted, the ground shook violently, and a massive explosion occurred in the underground laboratory.
When everyone regained their senses, the Tesseract suddenly shot out a blue ray, which solidified about ten meters away, forming a cosmic portal.
A man wearing a cape, with two horns on his head, and holding a scepter, emerged from the cosmic portal.
His eyes were full of cunning, and a sneering cold smile played on his lips!
Since Rimuru was backing him up, he would cause a big ruckus on Earth!
Earthling, are you ready to welcome the arrival of your King?
