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."
"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.

Even Thor could imagine the terrifying power someone with such overwhelming strength would wield.
"So, based on mythology, you believe this God of Light is connected to Asgard, and that Baldur might be my brother?"
Fury nodded.
Seeing his affirmation, Thor fell into deep thought, wracking his brain to recall any memories.
However, no matter how much he tried, he couldn't remember ever having a brother named Baldur, nor did he know who this God of Light was. But at the same time, Thor wasn't entirely certain that he didn't have a brother like that.
He muttered, "I don't know everything about Father's affairs. I didn't even know about Loki until recently, he..."
At that point, Thor paused, choosing not to continue.
Nick Fury, however, understood the implication, and gravely said, "So you're saying we can't rule out the possibility that Baldur might be your brother?"
"You're unsure if your father and mother had another son?"
Thor nodded in agreement, just as he was about to speak again. Suddenly, he froze, recalling something Nick Fury had said.
"Brother?"
Thor's mind raced, and an image flashed through his thoughts. A figure dressed in white, who had recently donned mysterious black clothing—his brother...
The White Knight...
"Baldur, the God of Light... Is it him?"
Thor murmured in shock.
Nick Fury immediately asked, "What do you mean, him?"
Snapping back to the moment, Thor responded, "I don't know when I gained another brother, but if you're talking about someone who has recently surfaced and might be my brother, then there's only one possibility."
"Fury, you know who I'm talking about—the White Knight!"
At this, Nick Fury felt as though the bustling noise of the bar had suddenly gone silent. His heart filled with disbelief.
Could the White Knight really be Baldur, the God of Light?!
How could that be?
Nick Fury wanted to shake his head in denial.
He couldn't fathom the idea. The White Knight already possessed abilities akin to miracles. If he also had the power to summon light capable of enveloping the entire Earth and Asgard, just how terrifying and unstoppable would he become?
But despite his reluctance, Fury's mind began to gradually accept the possibility, as the pieces started to fit.
After all, the White Knight had long been suspected of being Thor's brother, potentially holding the identity of a god from Asgard. He simply hadn't revealed his true nature. If the White Knight turned out to be the God of Light, Baldur, it would make perfect sense.
Moreover, it seemed unlikely that a completely unknown son of Odin would suddenly emerge...
The White Knight's power had always been mysterious and formidable. If he truly possessed the ability to blanket the entire Earth and Asgard in light, it would be logical...
This realization also hinted at something else: if all of this were true, the White Knight—no, Baldur, the God of Light—might have been hiding his true strength all along!
His real power was beyond imagination!
Just thinking about the light that had enveloped the entire Earth, and even Asgard, sent a chill down Fury's spine.
After a moment of discussion, Thor and Fury exchanged glances, both of their faces showing the lingering shock.
Finally, Fury said, "If you get the chance, I'd appreciate it if you could ask your father and mother about Baldur, the God of Light."
"Alright, I've got some matters to attend to, so I'll be going."
With that, Fury hurried out of the bar and into a black car, driving off to handle the situation regarding Baldur, the God of Light.
Watching him leave, Thor lost his desire to continue drinking.
Grumbling to himself, he muttered, "I want to go back to Asgard and tell Father and Mother about this, but it's all Loki's fault for destroying the Bifrost!"
Frustration filled him, along with a mix of emotions.
Nervousness, excitement, anticipation... and more surged through him.
If the speculation was true, and Baldur, the God of Light, really was the White Knight—his brother—how exciting would that be?
Having a brother so powerful, who wouldn't be thrilled?
Thor thought excitedly, "With this kind of strength, not even Father could stand against him!"
"Seriously, though, when did Father and Mother keep this secret and give me a brother?"
Thor mused, though the idea of Baldur being Odin's illegitimate child briefly crossed his mind. However, he quickly dismissed the thought.
Either way, he considered the White Knight his brother.
He was already thinking about how he could share this news with Hogun, Fandral, and Sif so he could boast a little in front of them.
As Thor mulled over how to get back to Asgard, Nick Fury, on his way to S.H.I.E.L.D., instructed Agent Hill to quickly gather all available information on Baldur, the God of Light. He also considered informing the rest of the Avengers.
Soon, Captain America, Black Widow, and even Tony Stark, resting in his luxurious villa, received messages from Nick Fury.
As they read through the information, each one of them wore a look of disbelief.
The mysterious, powerful White Knight was actually an Asgardian God of Light?
What shocked them even more was Fury's message stating that the recent light phenomenon might also be connected to him!
The light that had enveloped the entire Earth!
Fury even informed them that the phenomenon had not only occurred on Earth but also in Asgard and other realms...
In the opulent villa:
"Jarvis, do you think gods really exist in this world?" Tony Stark asked in disbelief.
"Sir, I'm unsure. However, based on the available information, the probability of gods existing is quite high. After all, Thor is proof of that. But I believe you are referring to something beyond just Thor's kind of existence..."
While they discussed, Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Bruce Banner were also left reeling with shock, their minds filled with confusion and disbelief.
...
While the Avengers were grappling with the revelation, Syd had already refocused his attention on himself, feeling the steadily increasing power of belief gathering around him, which came as a pleasant surprise.
