Chapter 301
"What's that voice?"
"What's going on?"
Hearing these unfamiliar voices, countless people across the globe were utterly baffled.
S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Sir, our network has been hacked…" A bald technician reported to Nick Fury.
Fury frowned immediately.
Who is this?
Just as he was grappling with unease and confusion, on the Milano, Gamora finally lost her patience.
"You two idiots, stop messing around!" she shouted angrily.
Hearing her words, Star-Lord and Rocket finally stopped bickering.
After a moment of thought, Star-Lord turned to the transparent panel in Rocket's hands and began speaking quickly.
"White Knight, help us! Do you know who I am? I'm Star-Lord of the Guardians of the Galaxy, the guy from Xandar named Quill! We're currently being pursued by an alien fleet and desperately need your help!"
"Please! If you don't come, we're going to die!"
"We're heading toward New York's Statue of Liberty…"
Speaking rapidly, Star-Lord relayed their predicament and plea for help through Rocket's transparent panel, broadcasting it worldwide.
Hearing his words, people around the world were stunned, then slowly began to understand.
"Guardians of the Galaxy?"
"Alien fleet?"
Even if they didn't know much about the Guardians of the Galaxy, everyone knew exactly who they were asking for help.
The White Knight?
Could this really involve the White Knight?
...
Statue of Liberty
Nearby tourists were thrown into chaos, unsure whether to grow a second pair of legs and flee or seize the rare opportunity to film the incoming spacecraft with their devices.
After all, battles between spaceships were exceptionally rare. Capturing it on camera would surely be invaluable.
While they hesitated, Syd, in a secluded area, raised an eyebrow, surprise flashing in his eyes.
Even from his remote location, his sharp hearing caught the familiar voice from the broadcast.
"Star-Lord?"
"An alien fleet?"
"They really know how to stir up trouble…"
After a moment of surprise, Syd wasn't entirely shocked. Star-Lord and his crew had always been the kind to attract trouble.
Hearing their cries for help, he hesitated, contemplating whether to intervene.
After some thought, he decided to act.
Taking out an alien fleet was no challenge for him—just a casual task. Any fleet that couldn't deal with Star-Lord was unlikely to pose a threat.
In the next moment, Syd activated his invisibility and changed his attire.
Switching his black outfit for white, he retrieved his backpack, which contained the Infinity Stones, from his silver ring.
Then, mentally connecting with the Tesseract, he activated the artifact.
...
New York, Statue of Liberty
"We're doomed, Quill! This time, we're really doomed…"
Flying loops in the New York City sky, Rocket Raccoon smacked his furry paw against his face, frustration evident.
"The White Knight still hasn't shown up! Quill, what if we're wrong? What if he's not the White Knight from your home planet's legends?"
"Shut your crow's beak, Rocket," Star-Lord retorted.
Listening to Rocket's complaints, seeing no sign of the White Knight, and watching the fleet gradually closing in, Gamora and the others grew increasingly grim.
...
Sovereign Fleet
"Priestess, it seems like they're waiting for someone," the fleet commander remarked, observing the projected scene.
"Who cares about that?" High Priestess Ayesha declared. "I only want to see their ship explode!"
"Yes."
"Concentrate fire…" the commander began, but abruptly paused, his expression freezing.
At the same time, High Priestess Ayesha and the Sovereign gamers around her froze, their eyes fixed on the screen.
There, a figure clad entirely in white, radiating an otherworldly aura, appeared in a flash of blue light between the fleet and the Milano.
"Who is that?"
Suspended mid-air, the glowing white figure was clearly no ordinary person. From High Priestess Ayesha to the lowest-ranking Sovereign, everyone stared in astonishment, their actions halting instinctively.
...
S.H.I.E.L.D.
"It's the White Knight!"
Nick Fury's expression turned grave.
Beside him, a Chitauri commander, who had been gloating moments ago, now shared Fury's serious demeanor.
Sokovia
Ultron shifted his attention away from the sentry robots, focusing intently on the unfolding situation.
U.S. Secret Military Base
A room full of officers, who had been closely monitoring Star-Lord's plea for the White Knight, now focused entirely on the figure who had appeared.
Stark Tower, New York
Tony Stark and the Avengers watched intently.
Earth's Atmosphere
Ego the Celestial gazed at the white-clad figure, his thoughts racing.
"So, he's the White Knight?"
A being who could also control light? Ego's mind brimmed with curiosity about this enigmatic figure.
Across New York City, countless citizens saw the white figure floating in the sky and felt a chill run down their spines.
With the Sovereign fleet's assault momentarily paused, Star-Lord and his crew, overwhelmed with relief, cheered.
"Hey, it's me! White Knight, save us!"
Star-Lord quickly activated the ship's loudspeaker, waving frantically to get Syd's attention.
Hearing the voice, Syd glanced at them briefly before shifting his focus to the golden ships surrounding them.
"Sovereign ships?"
In an instant, Syd sifted through his memory, piecing together the information.
While he pondered, the surrounding Sovereign ships overheard Star-Lord's words.
"So, he's the White Knight?"
"The legendary warrior from Terra?"
Initially stunned, the Sovereigns recalled the rumors. Terra was said to have two powerful figures: Messiah and the White Knight.
"Rumor has it one can destroy an entire city in an instant, while the other can erase countless lives with ease…" Ayesha muttered in awe.
Looking at the projection of the White Knight, rumored to erase lives effortlessly, she shook her head.
"Such exaggerations. Commander, treat it as a joke."
Then, she issued her order.
"Destroy him!"
