Currently, the engines available on the market are all below the speed of light.

According to Tony's understanding, currently only the Xandar Empire military and the Kree possess it.

So even if he wanted to develop a sub-light speed engine, it wouldn't be something he could do all at once.

If we can develop a top-tier engine capable of rapid acceleration in a vacuum, coupled with space wormhole jumping technology, it will be enough for Earth to enter the interstellar era.

Chapter 288 Star-Lord Appears

And so Tony and Banner began their work.

Harvey, on the other hand, was leisurely spending his days waiting for Star-Lord to arrive and deliver the Power Stone.

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

On the blue planet.

Steve was living on his private island with Carter Page, enjoying their time together every day.

At the same time, they were training and evolving to strengthen their abilities. The two would also cherish each other at night, living a peaceful and comfortable life.

But on this day in April 2014, Steve received a phone call.

“Steve Rogers, I need your help.”

"There's a mole in S.H.I.E.L.D., you have to help me out, or Earth will be in danger."

Nick Fury's faint voice came through directly.

"Where are you?"

Steve's expression changed slightly as he listened to Nick Fury's subtle tone and the things he mentioned, and he asked a question.

S.H.I.E.L.D. possesses most of America's secrets and has the right to use many dangerous weapons.

If there really is a mole within S.H.I.E.L.D., then Earth is indeed in danger.

However, this danger was not brought about by aliens, but rather originated from within humanity itself.

“I’m on my way to your home in New York. Hurry up and come find me… or I might die here.”

Nick Fury spoke after hearing Steve's words.

He then hung up the phone and tried to regulate his breathing.

"Be careful. If there's a mole within S.H.I.E.L.D., it could be a remnant of Hydra."

Peggy also heard Nick Fury's plea for help, but normally Nick Fury wouldn't ask Steve for help these days.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Upon hearing this, Steve kissed Peggy's forehead, then turned and ran out.

They boarded a helicopter and headed to New York as quickly as possible.

※※※※※※※

Meanwhile, on this day in Xandar.

Sonia also received a communication from Dam.

“Miss Sonia, I have received the message about Star-Lord that you asked me to send.”

Not long ago, Miss Sonia warned him to be wary of a man named Star-Lord.

Dam didn't know why Miss Sonia would pay attention to this nobody, but he informed Miss Sonia as soon as he received the news.

"Tell me more about his situation."

When Sonia heard the name Star-Lord, her eyes flashed, and she asked a question.

"Star-Lord's real name is Peter Jason Quill. He comes from Earth and was raised by a group of interplanetary raiders, whose leader is Yondu."

"Three different creatures were arrested with him and are suspected to be his accomplices."

"One of them is Gamora, the Mad Titan Thanos, who is Thanos's adopted daughter."

“An 89P13 experimenter claimed that the rocket looked like a raccoon.”

“There’s also a tree-like Groot.”

"They are currently being escorted to the Qien High-Security Prison."

Upon hearing this, Dam explained the information he had received.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Mr. Dam."

When Sonia heard that Star-Lord was in prison, she was moved, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she smiled and thanked him.

"Miss Sonia, is there something special about him that draws your attention to him?"

"In my opinion, this kind of guy is just a nobody."

Dam asked with some curiosity after hearing Sonia's words.

Star-Lord is a name Peter Jason Quill calls himself; his fame is negligible, nowhere near as great as that of his leader Yondu.

"It's nothing, you don't need to worry about it. Thank you for the information, Mr. Dam."

Sonia didn't explain, but just smiled and said.

"Okay, if you need any help, please feel free to contact us."

Seeing that Miss Sonia was unwilling to talk, Dam didn't press her further. Instead, he nodded, said something, and then hung up the call.

After hanging up the call, Sonia went to the lobby and looked at Mr. Kassadin, who was playing a game for fun.

Has Star-Lord appeared?

Harvey heard footsteps behind him and knew it was Sonia, so he spoke up.

"Yes, but he is currently being sent to prison."

"Mr. Kassadin, why did you specifically instruct me to notify you after he appeared?"

Upon hearing Mr. Kassadin's words, Sonia nodded in confirmation and asked the question that had been on her mind.

I know you have many questions.

"But don't underestimate him. Although he currently seems to be just a guy who's a little stronger than the average person, he's not very famous."

"However, he is a demigod. If he could obtain his father's legacy..."

"He will be able to leap directly into the ranks of the strongest beings in the universe, second only to the top powerhouses."

"Of course, those are secondary. The most important thing is that his appearance means that a change is about to happen on Xandar."

When Harvey heard Sonia's question, he stopped what he was doing, picked up the drink in front of him, turned around, took a sip, and slowly said.

"You mean he might become a top-tier powerhouse and then help the Kree Empire wreak havoc on Xandar?"

After hearing Mr. Kassadin's words, Sonia considered the key point he mentioned and asked a question.

A person whose strength is close to that of a top-tier expert, if he were to collude with the Kree Empire, could indeed become the fundamental force that disrupts the balance of power.

"Your thinking is not without merit; it possesses such potential and power."

"However, it wasn't that he wanted to harm Xandar."

"But his appearance brought a treasure that will change the course of Xandar."

"You'll soon see exactly what kind of treasure it is, because I'm going to take it back."

"Remember to remind the other members of the Void God Cult not to act rashly."

Harvey spoke up after hearing Sonia's guess.

Sonia was somewhat surprised to hear that even Mr. Kassadin was tempted to take the treasure brought by Star-Lord himself.

"Okay, I'll pass on the message right away."

However, Sonia nodded in agreement upon hearing these instructions.

Soon, a message appeared in the Void God Cult's group community.

"According to the will of Lord Kassadin, the God of the Void, some changes will occur on Xandar in the near future."

"No member of the Void God Cult should leave the island without permission in the near future, in order to avoid any accidents."

Sonia's message had only appeared in the group community for a few seconds.

This has already caused an uproar in the community.

Miss Sonia rarely involves the name of Lord Kassadin, the God of the Void, but whenever she does, it means the matter is far from trivial.

Moreover, Xandar may encounter unforeseen events, which could be major or minor.

However, since this was specifically a warning to them, it means that Xandar is about to encounter big trouble.

When Dam saw the message in the group community, his expression changed slightly.

The news was suddenly released right after Miss Sonia asked about Star-Lord. Does this mean that the matter is related to the appearance of Star-Lord?

However, this matter was only to be informed of the members of the Void God Cult, and it is common sense that information about the Void God Cult should not be circulated outside.

Whether or not he should tell the rest of the Nova Corps to prepare in advance put Dam in a dilemma.

Chapter 289 Countermeasures

Compared to Damm's dilemma, members of the group community started popping up in conversation.

Hercules Kyle, "to avoid any accidents, does that mean the danger brought about by this change is extraordinary?"

Lacey: "Of course, this is the first time Lord Kassadin has conveyed that something dangerous is going to happen."

Supersonic Renoir: "The members of the Void Cult are, if not the top in the universe, then they are certainly elite. How can they still encounter danger?"

Billionaire Tony Stark: "Since it's Lord Kassadin's order, just obey it."

Bruce Banner, the Hulk: "Yes, sir."

Enma Alex: "Lord Kassadin has personally given the order, it seems I need to go back to the Void Isles."

Sarah, the recorder: "What? Something big is about to happen? How far will it affect us? Should I move all my things here?"
