Vilgax's Revenge

Sakaar.

After a physical fight with Ben in the hot springs, Felicia returned to Earth satisfied.

Caiera began to manage interstellar relations. Although Ben made it clear that Sakaar had nothing to fear from any power, he did not allow her to be arrogant or domineering.

Loki has a relatively good understanding of the forces in the universe, travels with Caiera.

Loki is a man who can get along with anyone he wants without making any mistakes.

Bill is modifying his new wife—no, he's modifying his new warship.

In the beginning, all the ships on Sakaar were misfits cobbled together from junkyards. Later, Looma provided the Tetramand with technology, which enabled Sakaar's ships to undergo a leap forward in engine technology.

The technological leap is no less than a direct jump from the Stone Age to modern society.

But at that time, the only thing Sakaar could boast about was its engine.

Later, after Bill returned with his Giant Battleship, the Korbin People ' technology brought some minor upgrades to Sakaar.

The subsequent Kree warships were dismantled and integrated into the Giant Battleship, so only the technology of the warships was recorded; they were not actually used, except for the Giant Battleship themselves.

Now that they've acquired Ronan's Dark Aster and Thanos ' Sanctuary, they're even busier than before.

But Bill was having a great time.

He thought it would be appropriate for him to install a few Star Destroyer Cannon on his wife.

When war breaks out with other planets, his wife will simply pull out her enormous treasure, several kilometers long, making her invincible in terms of accuracy.

Bill was thinking about it happily.

"First, thoroughly understand the technology of the Kree and Xandarian, then modify the Sanctuary!"

He made a plan for himself.

The Kree warship was roughly installed on the Giant Battleship. If Security Officer Ben Parker hadn't turned into that dark, indistinct figure again, Bill wasn't sure if the Giant Battleship would have fallen apart halfway through its journey.

They hadn't even fully grasped the Kree technology.

But now, he doesn't need to be in such a hurry.

Moreover, after joining the Galactic Plumbers, Xandar also disclosed all its technology to the Galactic Plumbers.

After all, they've already handed over the technology of the Worldmind, so other spaceship technologies are naturally no problem either.

Once these technologies are fully mastered, and the Sanctuary is also modified, it will become a spaceship comparable to a Giant Battleship. Moreover, Thanos is extremely intelligent, and the technology in the Sanctuary can bring about a technological revolution to Sakaar.

If that's the case, it won't be long before Sakaar is actually able to compete with the Three Great Empires in terms of technology!

But Bill wasn't surprised at all.

"As it should be, the Galactic Plumbers's strength should naturally stand at the pinnacle of the universe."

As he said this, his gaze fell on a small raccoon hanging on the spaceship, fiddling with the circuitry.

"Yeah, right!"

The Rocket clapped its hands and said disdainfully, "These are all other people's ideas. Don't you have any of your own inventions?"

That being said, Rocket was still completely absorbed in the ocean of knowledge.

He discovered that Sakaar really did have some good stuff!

For example, he was very interested in the human modification technology brought by the Korbin People, after all, Rocket himself was a modified animal.

"The engine is our own," Bill said. "I heard from the Security Officer's cousin that there's a device on Earth that can cause animals to mutate; it might be of some help to you?"

"What do you mean?!" Rocket immediately exploded.

He felt offended.

You should really try mutating that horse-face of yours!

I am groot!

Groot, who was not far away, immediately chimed in.

"I'm not a horse!"

Bill shrugged, unperturbed by the Rocket ' offense.

In a way, they were in the same boat, so despite their bickering, they actually had a pretty good relationship.

I'll tear your robotic face off sooner or later!

The Rocket made some tough statements.

At this moment, Bill suddenly asked, "Rocket, you don't like how you look after being modified, why don't you ask the Chief of Security Officer to turn you back to your original form?"

Rocket was stunned, and his hands, which were working, stopped.

Bill, oblivious to his emotions, continued, "Nebula was also a cyborg, but the Security Officer used technology to restore her original body, which might be helpful to you as well."

"Haha, forget it!"

"I don't want to become a real little animal."

Rocket was silent for a moment, then buried his head in the circuitry and let out a fake laugh.

These words sounded dismissive, but no one noticed that Rocket's eyes were already glistening with tears.

He reminisced about his past, about the friends he had made on Contraxia: Lylla, Big Tooth, Floor...

That was a painful time for the Rocket.

But knowing them is not.

At least for now, he's no different from Lylla and the others.

But once he truly gets rid of his modified body, how will Rocket remember them?

Rocket secretly wiped away his tears.

Then, in a retaliatory manner, he roared at Bill, "Why don't you beg him to turn you back?"

I think it's good enough as it is.

Bill answered calmly.

Even before he met Ben, he already understood his mission—to protect the Giant Battleship.

Therefore, appearance is no longer important; what matters is whether he has the strength to protect the warship. And now, his target for protection has changed to Sakaar.

"Snort!"

Rocket grunted and shouted, "Groot, get me down here, I need to check out the central control computer!"

I am groot.

Groot stretched out his arms and caught the Rocket, but as a plant life form, Groot was very sensitive to water.

After putting the Rocket down, he strangely brought the arm that had touched Rocket to his mouth, licked it lightly, and then made a puzzled sound.

"I am groot?"

Rocket glared at him and said irritably:

"What nonsense are you talking about? Salty? You must have eaten my booger! Let's go!"

The Rocket sauntered into the warship with its pigeon-toed gait.

--

The Kree Empire.

Now, Dorrek VIII, the ruler of the Kree Empire, stands before the Supreme Intelligence Supreme Intelligence, awaiting its instructions.

"Sakaar has rejected our request and has no intention of releasing Ronan."

As he spoke, a hazy shadow slowly emerged.

The Supreme Intelligence has no fixed form. Like the Worldmind, it is simply a supercomputer. However, after the absolutely rational Kree built this supercomputer, they believed that the Supreme Intelligence's powerful computing capabilities could lead the Kree to achieve ultimate evolution, and therefore regarded it as a god-like being.

The appearance of Supreme Intelligence is different for everyone.

Because the Supreme Intelligence will appear in the face that the one most knows and trusts.

What are their conditions?

The Supreme Intelligence truly lived up to its reputation as a supercomputer; it could understand what life desired, and thus understood that Sakaar's refusal to release Ronan must have been for a reason.

"They want us to trade technology for Ronan."

Dorrek VIII said, somewhat finding it hard to accept.

The Kree possessed highly advanced technology; they created the Inhumans and had tens of thousands of Radiant Cruisers and dozens of Starships.

In comparison, Ronan's Dark Aster is nothing.

Moreover, their weaponry is extremely powerful. For example, Ronan's Omni-Weapon uses a special weapon system from the Kree that allows them to manipulate matter to a certain extent.

Even the Skrull Empire, one of the Three Great Empires, was quite eager for their technology.

There was no way that Dorrek VIII would give away the Kree technology.

However, as one of the most powerful Kree, Ronan was also hard to give up. The Kree valued lineage highly, and blue-skinned Kree were a symbol of nobility.

We cannot agree to this condition.

The answer from the most precious wisdom was no different from his.

"In that case, how about...?"

Dorrek VIII made a tentative inquiry.

As a militaristic civilization, the Kree were able to wage war against the Skrull for 100,000 years, so Dorrek VIII immediately thought of starting a war with Sakaar.

"Can't."

The Supreme Intelligence rejected the proposal without hesitation.

"Sakaar has just achieved victory against Thanos, and we cannot yet confirm its authenticity, but Thanos is indeed missing. If this is true, engaging in battle with them would not be a good thing."

The Supreme Intelligence assessed the situation.

The Kree already have enough enemies.

"Let's put this matter on hold for now, at least we need to confirm whether Thanos is really dead," the Supreme Intelligence said.

It changed the subject.

"How are those 'guys' doing now?"

"Those creatures?" Dorrek VIII quickly realized what the Supreme Intelligence meant. "Those newly discovered beings share the same problem as us; their evolution has reached its end, and their genes are facing collapse..."

The image of the tall, white species they had recently discovered on the planet flashed through Dorrek VIII's mind.

The creatures came from an unknown place. At first, they thought they were the resurrected Cotati had been extinct for tens of thousands of years, but later they discovered that they were not the same.

After a series of battles, neither side could gain the upper hand, so they temporarily ceased hostilities and reached an agreement.

The Supreme Intelligence clearly intends to use those beings for something.

In its view, this might also be an opportunity for the Kree to continue evolving.

"You mean...?"

"Let's wait until we confirm Thanos's fate," the Supreme Intelligence replied.

In fact, it wasn't just them; every galactic civilization in the universe was trying to confirm whether Thanos was really dead.

On Xandar, the battlefield where Thanos and Ben fought is now a desolate wasteland. The terrifying lava has cooled, turning the place into a lifeless wasteland.

The black reefs covered it like scabs from a wound on the earth.

At that moment, the wound suddenly ripped open!

A purple hand emerged from it.

Thanos is back!

only...

Before he could even take a breath of fresh air, he was enveloped by another tall shadow.

Thanos, still half- Thanos in the rock, looked up in surprise and saw someone he never dreamed of.

"Vilgax..."

"I'm here to settle accounts with you, Thanos."

"Vilgax said in a cold voice."
