Heroes of Marvel
chapter-1166

While the people on the E Grade Spaceship were discussing their return to Earth, inside the Milano, which was positioned next to the E Grade Spaceship, Star-Lord was personally piloting it as it began to orbit the moon.

After emerging from the spatial rift, J.A.R.V.I.S. had already informed Star-Lord of their current location. Therefore, Star-Lord, who had been away from Earth for decades, was eager to catch another glimpse of the planet.

Whoosh!

So, while the E Grade Spaceship remained stationary, the Milano rapidly circled around the far side of the moon and appeared in front of the moon, facing Earth. However, although J.A.R.V.I.S. had just informed Star-Lord of their location, it hadn’t informed him about the presence of Earth’s lunar probes.

Beep, Beep, Beep!

Just a short while after the Milano had flown to the front side of the moon, Star-Lord, captivated by the beautiful blue planet in front of him, was suddenly interrupted by a series of beeping sounds emanating from inside the Milano.

The equipment that had detected the Milano this time clearly wasn’t the E Grade Spaceship that had followed them. Instead, it was from a corner on the far side of the moon below.

“Is that… a lunar probe?” When Milano’s interior started beeping, Star-Lord’s gaze shifted from the mesmerizing blue planet in front of him back to the screen that displayed the images. He muttered to himself while looking at the displayed images.

At this moment, the screen inside Milano’s cockpit showed a relatively flat area on the moon. In this area, there was a tracked lunar probe parked beside a pile of rocks. Judging from the model, it seemed to be one of the ones the United States had launched in the past couple of years.

The signal emitted by this lunar probe had detected the passage of the Milano above the moon’s surface, and by now, it had also detected the E Grade Spaceship following behind.

“Well… yes. And there should be more lunar probes on the moon.” After Star-Lord’s mutterings, Lin Rui’s voice suddenly resounded inside the Milano.

Inside the E Grade Spaceship, Lin Rui also noticed the lunar probe on the moon. Regarding being detected by the probe, Lin Rui felt a bit embarrassed.

However, even though the probe had already spotted the Milano and the E Grade Spaceship, it would still take some time to relay the information to Earth. Lin Rui considered that they had enough time to send a message to Earth to prevent unnecessary panic.

“So… should we light some fireworks or something? After all, this is kind of a triumphant return for me.” Without getting any responses from Lin Rui and his companions, Star-Lord suddenly raised an eyebrow and asked.

Since they had already been detected by the probe, Star-Lord, as a wanderer who had been away from Earth for decades, felt that it was quite normal to be a bit extravagant.

Moreover, setting off fireworks in the middle of space between Earth and the moon might be something that could make waves across the planet, which also satisfied Star-Lord’s desire to show off.

Lin Rui: “…”

Fireworks? Why not just set off a few bombs? Lin Rui understood Star-Lord’s mindset, but for their return to Earth, setting off cosmic fireworks seemed unnecessary.

“Heh heh… If you all think it’s not a good idea, then forget it. It seems our ammunition isn’t that abundant anyway.” Not receiving any response from Lin Rui and his buddies, Star-Lord awkwardly added.

Afterward, both the Milano and the E Grade Spaceship paid no further attention to the lunar probe. After adjusting their positions, they continued flying toward the beautiful blue planet in front of them.

Just moments ago, Lin Rui had already instructed J.A.R.V.I.S. to send a message to Earth. At least, when Earth’s various national satellites detected the Milano and the E Grade Spaceship, they wouldn’t mistake them for alien Spaceships.

Meanwhile, inside the cockpit of the E Grade Spaceship, Lin Rui and others stood at the front, looking out at the starry sky and the beautiful blue planet in the distance. Among those present, apart from Thor and Loki, all were native to Earth and had never seen their home planet from this perspective.

Thor and Loki had visited Asgard and Earth several times, but each time, they had traveled via the Bifrost, and they couldn’t see Earth’s beauty in space.

“We’ve always known that Earth is beautiful, but I never thought it would be this breathtaking!” Captain Rogers exclaimed with admiration as he fixed his gaze on the Earth, which was gradually drawing nearer.

“This is our homeland, the homeland we must protect!” Tony chimed in, feeling moved.

Not only Captain Rogers and Tony but also everyone present felt a sense of wonder as they looked at the Earth drawing closer in the distance. Even Thor and Loki had to admit that Earth was a charming planet, not inferior to Asgard.

However, while the others were still excited and captivated by the sight, Peter, who had also seen Earth from space, was beginning to feel uneasy. Apart from Peter, Lin Rui, who was also gazing at Earth, began to have a sense of unease lurking in his subconscious.

When Lin Rui’s gaze shifted away from the Earth and toward Peter, he found Peter looking at him as well. They both seemed to be wearing expressions of concern. Sensing that the other had also picked up on something unsettling, both Lin Rui and Peter became more anxious.

Lin Rui knew that Peter had his Spider-Senses, which granted him special premonitions about impending danger. As for Peter, he was aware that Lin Rui possessed precognitive abilities and had complete trust in him.

“What could it be? Could something have gone wrong in the battle with Dormammu?” Lin Rui wondered silently as he looked back at the starry sky outside.

With Ancient One, Odin, and the unexpected addition of Ego, Lin Rui believed they should be able to, if not defeat Dormammu, at least drive him away. But if the battle didn’t go as planned, what was causing Lin Rui and Peter’s unease now?

Phew!

While Lin Rui and Peter were filled with unease, the others on the ship remained oblivious and continued to be excited about piloting the E Grade Spaceship back to Earth.

At this point, the E Grade Spaceship and the Milano had approached a position midway between the moon and Earth, and Lin Rui and the others could already see some of Earth’s continents.

As the E Grade Spaceship and the Milano rapidly approached Earth, the various satellites from different nations that had been orbiting the planet suddenly seemed to receive a unified command.

They all activated their space cameras and pointed them toward the Milano and the E Grade Spaceship.
