Chapter 205: Chapter 205
Chapter 205: Chapter 205
Fury's heart raced.
He could hardly imagine it—if this were true, how terrifying must Baldur be?!
The light that had enveloped the entire Earth...
After his initial shock, he quickly calmed down, thinking that this might not be true. After all, it was just one person's account, and the truth of the matter needed to be verified.
In fact, given how unbelievable this situation sounded, Fury considered it more likely to be false.
As he pondered, Fury fixed his single eye on Agent Hill and asked in a stern tone, "Have you done a lie detector test?"
"Arrangements are already being made, sir..."
Agent Hill responded immediately, adding that psychological experts and polygraphs were being prepared, but it would take some time.
However, due to their apprehension about Lord Baldur, the God of Light, they had refrained from using any harsher methods, such as truth serum, which could harm the body.
Nick Fury nodded and waited quietly for the results.
After several minutes, Agent Hill's earpiece buzzed with the test results.
After listening to the report, Hill turned to Fury and said, "Sir, after several rounds of testing, our experts found no signs of deception. Unless something extraordinary is at play, what she said appears to be true."
Nick Fury's heart jolted once again.
It was true?
Unable to hold back, Fury asked, "Can you check where Thor is right now?"
Still skeptical, Fury wanted to ask Thor directly about Baldur, the God of Light, and find out what was going on.
"Right away, sir," Agent Hill responded with a nod.
It didn't take long for her to gather the information and relay Thor's location to Nick Fury.
Without wasting any time, Fury headed to the destination where Thor was located.
Before long, Fury arrived at a bar and entered to find Thor sitting at a table, drinking.
As Thor took a sip, he noticed Nick Fury, dressed in his signature black leather jacket, walking over. Curious, Thor asked, "I hear you've been looking for me?"
"What brings you here?"
"Hey, this drink is great, want a glass?"
Thor raised his cup with a grin.
"No thanks," Fury declined, raising a hand before getting straight to the point. "I'm here to ask you about something."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"About what?" Thor's face showed surprise and confusion as he continued drinking, wondering why the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. would seek him out.
He figured it might be something related to Loki again, and the thought troubled him.
Just as he was mulling this over, Fury's expression turned serious. In a stern voice, he asked, "I'm here to ask you about Baldur, the God of Light."
"How much do you know about him?"
After speaking, Fury fixed his gaze on Thor, waiting for him to reveal what he knew about Baldur.
To his surprise, Thor's response was completely unexpected.
"Baldur, the God of Light?"
"Who's that?"
In the noisy bar, Thor put down his drink and looked at Fury with genuine confusion. Fury frowned, slightly annoyed. "Thor, I'm not in the mood for jokes. This is important. If you know anything about Baldur, you'd better tell me."
Now realizing the seriousness of the situation, Thor furrowed his brow and replied, "You're going to have to explain who this God of Light is, because I honestly have no idea who you're talking about."
Fury took a deep breath, his tone shifting into one of slight accusation. "In our mythology, you are Odin's eldest son. Baldur, the God of Light, is the second son of Odin and Frigga, which makes him your brother."
Hearing this, Thor shook his head with a laugh. "That's just human mythology. As far as I know, there's no such God of Light named Baldur."
"Fury, you have to understand-myths don't always match reality."
As he spoke, Thor spread his arms in an exaggerated gesture.
"You're telling me there's no such god in Asgard?" Fury stared intently at Thor's face for any signs of deception, but he found none. His heart filled with suspicion.
Fury pressed, "But how could a god that you claim doesn't exist perform a miracle recently?"
"What do you mean?" Thor was taken aback, confusion evident on his face.
Fury then recounted how Audrey's eyesight had been miraculously restored and how Gisli had been punished by a divine light right after attacking her.
Thor listened, his surprise growing, and by the end, his mouth hung slightly open, bewilderment clear on his face.
Finally, Fury, with a grave and serious expression, mentioned the global phenomenon that had bathed the Earth in light, suggesting that it might be related to Baldur, the God of Light.
Thor froze.
Fury might not know this, but Thor was very familiar with the global light event. He had personally witnessed Asgard being enveloped in light, and after questioning Heimdall, the gatekeeper, he learned that it wasn't just Asgard-the entire Nine Realms had been bathed in that light.
Now, hearing that Fury suspected this Baldur was behind the phenomenon, Thor couldn't help but be shocked.
"Fury, let me tell you something..."
Thor proceeded to explain that the light phenomenon hadn't just affected Earth; it had also enveloped Asgard and the other realms. He shared everything he knew about the strange
event with Fury.
When he finished, Fury stared at Thor in disbelief, struggling to comprehend what he had just
heard.
Not only Earth, but the phenomenon had appeared across all the realms, including Asgard?
If this event really was caused by Baldur, Fury realized he might have grossly underestimated
him.
This could no longer be described as mere power-this was something far more terrifying.
Fury couldn't believe it and found it hard to imagine what kind of strength would be required
to cause such a vast and terrifying phenomenon.
Where did this God of Light, Baldur, even come from?!
Why was it that, out of nowhere, another one of these powerful beings appeared?
After being stunned for several moments, Fury regained his composure and said to Thor,
"That's why I came to find you. If this phenomenon really is connected to Baldur, then this situation is extremely serious."
Thor, too, realized the gravity of the matter.
