The Four Major Galaxies of the Universe and Zenn-La (First Update)
The following day, with Wanda waving goodbye, Hawking and the Silver Surfer flew off the Earth together.
"Let me tell you about the general situation in the universe, which should be helpful for your future travels."
The Silver Surfer, riding on his skateboard, spoke to Hawking as he flew.
Hawking nodded:
That's wonderful.
His knowledge of the universe was limited to what he learned from Guardians of the Galaxy and some information about the Skrulls from Nick Fury.
To be specific, he really didn't know much about it.
"Most of my knowledge comes from Planet Devourer, and from the years I've spent searching for suitable planets for planet devouring."
Then, the Silver Surfer began to explain the general situation of Universe 838 to Hawking.
After listening, Hawking summarized that the universe is very large, containing many, many galaxies, and the Celestials are still very diligently creating new galaxies, new stars, and new planets, so the universe is constantly expanding.
Therefore, even the Silver Surfer doesn't know exactly how many galaxies there are in the universe right now.
All I could do was introduce the galaxies I knew to Hawking one by one.
Because there are too many galaxies to introduce them all, Hawking selected a few that were relatively close to Earth and that he might visit to learn about.
First and foremost is the Milky Way Galaxy where Earth is located. This galaxy contains approximately 1,200 fully habitable planets, among which the largest power is the Nova Empire, whose capital is Xandar.
Secondly, there are two galaxies close to the Milky Way Galaxy: the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Shi'ar Galaxy.
The largest power in the Large Magellanic Cloud is the Kree Empire, with its capital at Hala. The entire cloud system contains approximately 1,700 planets.
The Kree Empire and the Nova Empire have been engaged in interstellar warfare for years, resulting in countless deaths and injuries, and their enmity runs deep.
The most powerful force in the Shi'ar Galaxy is the Shi'ar Empire, also known as the Avian Empire. Its capital planet Shi'ar, is a completely artificial planet, and the entire system contains more than 1,500 planets.
Hawking believes that the current stance of explicitly stating non-participation in the war between the Kree Empire and Nova Empire carries a suspicion of reaping the benefits without contributing to the conflict.
Finally, there's the Andromeda Galaxy, which is farther from Earth but still has some connection to it.
Why is it said to be related to Earth?
This is because this was originally the star system ruled by the Skrull Empire, and it was originally the most powerful of the four star systems, with more than two thousand inhabited planets.
However, it is now nearing its end, with most of its planets occupied by the Kree Empire and becoming slave planets of the Kree Empire. Only a small number have survived thanks to the aid of the Nova Empire.
The decline of the Skrull Empire was also closely related to the Planet Devourer.
Decades ago, the Kree Empire and the Nova Empire were not as hostile as they are now. They were locked in a fierce battle with the strongest Skrull Empire, and the fighting between them was extremely brutal.
However, the Skrull Empire has consistently held the upper hand in the war.
Because the two empires were technologically comparable, but the Skrulls were born with shapeshifting abilities, it could be said that every Skrulls was Mystique, the best spy.
On this day, the Planet Devourer suddenly appeared in the Andromeda Galaxy, took a liking to Zaragozna, the capital of the Skrull Empire, and then unceremoniously swallowed it whole.
The disappearance of the capital, the disappearance of all the high-ranking officials of the Skrull Empire, and the disappearance of the Skrull Empire's most important and advanced technology were all fatal blows to the Skrull Empire.
Seizing the opportunity presented by the fall of the Skrull Empire's capital, the Kree Empire launched a full-scale offensive and annihilated the entire Skrull Empire with almost no effort.
This led to the story of Captain Marvel and the remaining Skrulls coming to Earth.
"This is the jump point to my home planet Zenn-La. My home planet Zenn-La belongs to the Large Magellanic Cloud, but it is very close to the Milky Way Galaxy. It would take us a very long time to get there by our own speed, so we need to find the corresponding jump point."
A day later, the Silver Surfer pointed to a jump point and explained it to Hawking.
Without a jump point, relying solely on speed, even if he could fly at near the speed of light, it would still take him a very long time to leave the Milky Way Galaxy.
Because it would take more than a year just to leave the Solar System.
"I've got it!"
Hawking nodded and rushed into the jump point with the Silver Surfer.
A powerful sense of spatial tearing suddenly struck; if it were an ordinary Earthling, they would probably be torn to pieces without any protection.
After all, even in a spaceship, performing more than fifty consecutive space jumps would cause considerable damage to the body.
Fortunately, Hawking's physical body was far beyond that of ordinary people, and he had a powerful protective aura, so the tearing caused by this spatial jump had no effect on him at all.
"When my understanding of the laws of space reaches the level of spatial teleportation over this distance, I will no longer need to rely on jump points for spatial teleportation."
Hawking, who had traveled from the Solar System to the Large Magellanic Cloud in the blink of an eye, Chunin but sigh in amazement.
To achieve this kind of intergalactic spatial movement, his understanding of magic, especially spatial magic, must reach a certain level.
Or, to put it another way, we could find a way in the Dragon Ball World for Goku to find the Yardrats ahead of time and learn the Shunpo from the Dragon Ball World.
However, Shunpo skills in the Dragon Ball World also have drawbacks.
Apparition allows you to Shunpo to any place you've been before, making it the best Shunpo magic currently available. However, with the current level of magic, it's not yet possible to Shunpo across star systems; even teleporting across planets is a problem.
Secondly, there's the Flying Thunder God. As long as a mark is made, it can sense the mark and teleport there Shunpo. Because of the Ōtsutsuki Bloodline and having eaten the Divine Tree Small Fruit, the distance Shunpo by the Flying Thunder God Technique is now farther than that of the Apparition.
If it's within the Solar System, he should be able to Shunpo there instantly.
In the Dragon Ball World, Shunpo is mainly achieved by sensing ki, or in other words, sensing life energy and life magnetic fields.
This means that if there are no powerful life forms in the place you want to go, you cannot sense their location or Shunpo there.
However, because his current strength is the strongest, and his subsequent improvement will be very fast, he will hardly encounter any bottlenecks before transforming into Super Saiyan.
So if you can learn it, you should be able to Shunpo a considerable distance.
After flying for about three hours from the jump point, a silver planet that looked as if it were encased in metal appeared in Hawking's eyes.
"Hawking, that's my home planet, Zenn-La!"
Silver Surfer looked at the silver planet in front of him, a nostalgic expression on his face.
If it weren't for the fact that his body had been modified by the Planet Devourer, his eyes would probably be full of tears by now.
"Let's go in. My home planet has advanced technology and excellent spaceships, which you can use."
