"Cosmic storm" is actually a loose general term.

It includes the high-speed particle flow and high-intensity electromagnetic waves formed by the large number of charged particles released by star explosions in space, and the solar wind generated by violent explosions of sunspots during peak activity periods.

As well as energy fluctuations caused by many strange celestial changes.

Since the Big Bang 15 billion years ago, stars and galaxies have been spreading rapidly outward. This phenomenon is the "cosmic expansion theory."

The mutual gravity between the planets should have slowed down the expansion, but this is not the case. The expansion of the universe is still accelerating, which also causes "storms" to continue in the endless universe.

Reed Richards, who has been crazy and obsessed with the study of "cosmic storms" for several years, summed up this kind of cosmic "celestial phenomenon" as: a form of activity produced by the collision of cosmic materials during their birth or death. .

These activities will release high-energy particles over a relatively large range, thus creating so-called cosmic storms.

In the nearly 150 years since records were recorded on Earth alone, there have been more than 40 records of being affected by "cosmic storms", with the first "Carrington Storm" in 1859 being the most.

The earth's atmosphere will filter out a large number of harmful rays and energy particles, and even the most negligible aftermath of the storm can cause huge disasters such as large-scale power outages and the failure of ship and aircraft navigation systems.

In front of the detection lens of the "Skylab" spacecraft, four heads were tightly packed together, observing the storm images produced by the interaction of brilliant energy vortex gas and radiation.

Everything in the detection lens seems to be a turbulent sea dyed with colorful watercolors, wrapped in a group of silver overlapping halos, coming from the other end of the starry sky.

As the "cosmic storm" approached and the spacecraft rushed in both directions, this extremely magnificent scenery gradually became visible to the four people through the floor-to-ceiling hanging windows of the cabin.

".The red light band is formed by massive amounts of sulfur gas, the green is hydrogen, and the blue represents oxygen."

Reed pointed at the dense spots of light around the energy storm group, his eyes were full of ecstasy, and he spoke softly with a gentle voice, as if there was no room for anything else in his eyes.

"Tsk, let me tell you, Mr. Richards, how did you remember to study this thing?"

Susan's brother Johnny smacked his lips and muttered. He just looked at it for a while and then lay down on the seat without interest.

Reed, whose eyes were still "fixed" in the detection lens, came back to his senses slightly, and listened to Johnny's question and explained with great enthusiasm.

"Six years ago in March, the power transmission system in Quebec, Canada was interrupted for more than nine hours by a trace of cosmic storm energy. I intercepted an energy pop at that time, and after analysis, I found that this storm was extremely unusual. Among them The elemental molecules carried by the high-energy particle flow are unprecedented in any conventional storm phenomenon."

Johnny looked at Reed's back and shrugged noncommittally. After listening for a long time, he finally interrupted:

"OK it sounds great, but to be honest Reed, although this thing looks very charming, I don't believe it is worth caring about more than Sue."

"Johnny!"

The atmosphere in the cabin suddenly fell silent as Susan Stone shouted.

Ben Grimm rarely agreed with Johnny's words, holding his shoulders and nodding silently, while Reed coughed continuously as if he had choked on his drink, and his cheeks were as red as Susan.

"Okay, cough, cough, prepare. Ben, there are still one hour and forty-two minutes until we reach the outer circle of the storm. Although the material structure and energy shielding technology of the spacecraft allow us to get as close as possible to it, we still have to be cautious. good."

While thinking about the process of the experiment, Reed and Susan met and avoided each other's eyes from time to time. Although they did not speak to each other, their work was still carried out in an orderly manner.

After being glared at a few times by his sister, Johnny obediently shut his mouth and followed Ben to prepare for the mission.

For a while, no one noticed that in the spacecraft's detection footage, another extremely intense particle fluctuation gradually emerged after the energy group of the "cosmic storm".

It only appeared for a moment, and the golden color blocks in the light curtain were obscured by the vast storm that was getting closer.

Hundreds of kilometers behind the golden wing-shaped light source, between the orbits of Mars and the Earth, the long, shuttle-like brass-colored spacecraft with spreading branches passed through the vast star field, still following closely, as if it could no longer bear it. hunter.

The remaining royal starships of the Skrulls have been floating among the stars with the "Phoenix Force" for dozens of years.

"Your Majesty, the moment when the 'Child of the Universe' absorbs this strong particle storm should be the best time for us to take action. The ship owners are all waiting for your order."

The skinny starship captain has short, milky white hair on his head and chin. For a race like the Skrulls who were originally hairless, this is a symbol of extremely old age.

In an era when the Skrull Empire was in decline and almost collapsed after being hunted by the Kree, there were very few such old men, but he knelt on his knees, his forehead lightly touching the ground, and his palms spread out on both sides, facing the ancient simplicity. The towering throne carries the highest etiquette.

This was not the old captain who had always surrendered to the Skrull emperor, "Dort VII" died in the war with the Kree, and his successor was placed on the throne in front of him. The new emperor tore off his head.

If the Skrull empire was as strong as it was thousands of years ago, the old captain would definitely not succumb to such an ambitious usurper, but today's Skrulls

There is no need for good or evil, only the strong.

A dozen so-called "Super Skrulls" surround the brass-colored throne sculpted into one piece of the starship.

In the culture and habits within this race, these Skrulls who can not only change their appearance, but also copy the target's ability or power are called the royal family.

The flickering light inside the ship just formed a shadow curtain, covering the faces of the royal family of different body types standing at random.

On the low-backed brass throne, the mountain-like figure sank deeply into the darkness, until the Skrull Emperor Carter's blade-like fingertips scraped the green wrinkled chin, and moved forward slightly. After leaning forward for a while, he finally saw his face clearly.

"'Phoenix', it is not a dead thing. It has kept us following it for so long. Is it really that easy?"

The old captain didn't know for a moment whether Emperor Carter was asking him or talking to himself. He still maintained a kneeling posture, thinking about how to respond.

Bang!

"Kart, don't think about it, seize it, and then surrender it! With the power of the Phoenix, the defeat of the Kree Empire is only in the palm of our hands!"

On the right side of the throne, the figure that looked slightly thinner than the Skrull Emperor Carter stamped his feet violently, leaving a spark on the metal deck with a rock-like texture, and roared violently.

In the Skrull Empire, the status difference between the same royal family is very small, and even the emperor can call them by their first names.

Different from the Skrulls who all wore blue and purple armor or clothing, Kalt only had a skirt around his waist, and his naked body was covered with lizard scales and cuticles. He just glanced to the side and had a bad temper. The giant man groaned and lowered his fists without saying a word.

Kalter stood up and silently looked around at the dozen or so remaining Skrull royals.

Although no one dared to speak anymore, the narrow and pointed faces that gradually emerged from the shadows were silently expressing their inner desires.

"Captain Bellomo, activate all the energy of the kingship and prepare to launch the towed cannon. Parker, since you idiot is so energetic, go and do your best. After capturing the Phoenix Force, we will stop at C-53 Repair it, hum. Listening to the transmission from Talos’s legacy, there seems to be a race with good abilities on that planet.”

Boom, boom, boom.

Carter stepped down from the throne step by step. There was no force on his part, but every step seemed to make the entire starship rumble and tremble.

Walking all the way to the mottled hanging window more than ten meters high, Carter crossed his arms and looked at the golden light source that had completely stretched out its wings.

The super Skrull named Pike opened his mouth wide, and lava-like viscous energy flow exploded all over his body. He transformed into a life form burning with blazing flames. He rushed towards the energy cabin of the spacecraft in a few steps, without a trace. Unleash power without reservation.

The old captain Bellomo and dozens of operators in the cabin quickly got busy, and some even transformed into several tentacle arms, dazzling on the light screen of the spacecraft.

The two sides of the Skrull king ship slowly separated and stretched out, and then the entire interstellar ship formed a trident-like shape. The tip of each "thorn" gathered a lavender energy group, and it grew rapidly.

"Your Majesty, while the 'Child of the Universe' is devouring the energy of the storm, this is the best time for us to take action. A spacecraft was detected not far from the storm. It should be from the C-53 star. Hahaha, under such powerful energy fluctuations Under this, with their level of technology, they are likely to be annihilated into molecules.”

The skinny Captain Bellomo stood next to Carter, barely touching his chest. The old-school Skrulls were still more accustomed to calling the Phoenix Force by its ancient name - "Children of the Universe".

Seeing that the traction energy of the king ship was at its maximum, the old captain couldn't help but rub his hands together. His pair of tiny, spot-like pupils were illuminated golden by the flames of the "Phoenix".

What he saw seemed to be not only the dazzling light of the "Phoenix" tail, but also the glory of the Skrulls' re-emergence!

"Bellomo, don't be so happy. If the power of the Phoenix allows us to capture it so easily, then its power is too limited."

Carter just watched for a while and then walked back to the high platform, sitting on the throne in silence, as if he had no expectations for all this.
