Too backward, so he couldn't be bothered to deal with them? Listening to that reason and looking at Ronan's series of reactions, Evenson could sum it up in one word: cowardice!
How was that disdain? No wonder Evenson thought so. Using the most arrogant tone to say the most cowardly things, putting on the toughest attitude while doing the softest things—wasn't that exactly what he often did himself? Was anyone more familiar with that routine than him?
Besides, it made no sense. Ronan was no softhearted man, nor did he have the pedantic airs of someone who considered himself noble. On the contrary, his fanaticism and brutality were known throughout the universe. Countless races and civilizations had faced his tyrannical accusations and been reduced to ashes in an instant. No race had ever escaped disaster just because it was ignorant and backward!
There was definitely something fishy here. To test his theory, Evenson said, "Terrigen Mutation—the experiment the Kree Empire conducted on Earth back then. Surely you've heard of it, sir?"
The Kree Empire had once been caught in a prolonged war. In order to recruit enough cannon fodder, they conducted mutation experiments on primitive humans on Earth—Terrigen Mutation. That was the origin of Earth's many Mutants, as well as Hydra.
But that had happened long ago. When Evenson brought it up again, Ronan could not help furrowing his browless brow. "First, I personally oppose and reject the Terrigen Mutation experimental program."
Of course he opposed it. The Kree Empire had invested considerable resources into the experiment, yet it had yielded no benefit whatsoever for the Empire. Not a single soldier had ever been sent to join the war from beginning to end. It was a disgraceful waste and dereliction of duty, so Ronan loathed the program to the core.
