Null Void Realm
"Brunnhilde, why are you the one left on Sakaar?"
Ben was somewhat surprised.
In the past, Caiera spent most of her time on Sakaar. As a child born on this planet, Caiera was very concerned about the development of her homeland, sometimes even acting like a doting mother.
"Considering that Malekith had previously invaded this place, Caiera left me here."
Brunnhilde said this while drinking.
"And I also need to train new Plumbers."
Brunnhilde doesn't have much management ability, but as a former member of the Valkyries, she is very experienced in leading troops into battle. Training Plumbers has always been a joint responsibility of her and Bill, although Bill's training methods are more militarized.
"Who's handling those administrative matters?" Ben asked.
He didn't think Brunnhilde, that Valkyrie, had any political acumen whatsoever.
"Don't worry, the major matters have been arranged. The minor matters will be handled by the artificial intelligence Azmuth and Nebula." Brunnhilde said, glancing at the people following behind Ben, her eyes narrowing slightly.
It wasn't the Empress's watchful eye; she, who wasn't even considered a concubine, had no say in that.
Rather, it was the immense power contained within Faora and the other two Kryptonian that made her feel a great threat.
She had no idea where Ben had found three such powerful warriors. The pressure they exerted on her even surpassed that of all the current Security Officer of the Galactic Plumbers, and even the pressure from the Mother Storm, who had made her and Caiera scream in pain, was not as great as theirs.
As for Mera... she can be considered to have begun to take on a human form.
It's no wonder Brunnhilde has this opinion of Mera. After all, this strange woman has been evolving in a bizarre direction since she left Atlantis. Before, she frolicked in the snow, but now she's like a little wooden creature, sticking her butt out on the ground and sniffing the grass.
Brunnhilde, feeling both sympathy and disdain, pulled Ben aside, pointed to her own head, and whispered, "Where did you find this...? Isn't there something wrong with it?"
As she spoke, she glanced at Ben again, her gaze carrying a hint of disdain.
Benny, Benny, you're not picky at all, you're even bringing home an idiot! Have you no shame?
If that doesn't work, look at your mother!
I'm not that bad, am I?
She puffed out her chest, and the silver breastplate almost blinded Ben.
"No problem with your brain, you sea creature." Ben then introduced Faora and the others, before entering the Totem Tower with them.
Nebula knew he was back and came over to greet him once.
She is now completely unrecognizable as the ruthless killer she once was. After her modified body recovered, hair grew back on her head, and she looks exactly like a blue-skinned version of Karen Gillan.
Having gone to great lengths to come here, he was carrying a huge stack of documents in his arms.
Ben asked around and found out it was a bunch of miscellaneous things, including applications for reconstruction across Sakaar, registration forms for Plumbers, and so on.
She was so busy she barely had time to breathe and left after only a few words, but she still asked Ben request to help Gamora Thanos's Soul Stone. If her sister were freed, she could come and help her with her official duties, and then she would be free too.
Ben readily agreed, and then gave her another task.
"Could you first help me select a few suitable planets and stars for terraforming?"
After saying that, Ben looked at Brunnhilde and asked curiously, "Are the Incursean really that powerful? All the other Security Officer have been mobilized?"
Ben's impression of the Incursean was that they were stunted, narcissistic frogs with low individual combat strength, and he didn't think they were that powerful. But he never expected that those guys could destroy the Shi'ar Empire in such a short time and also restrain the huge fighting force of the Galactic Plumbers.
"Their weapons and warships are quite impressive," Brunnhilde nodded. "Based on the available information, their ultimate weapon is even more powerful than the Kree Empire's World Destroyer-class Dreadnought."
The World Destroyer-class Dreadnought's firepower is equivalent to a superstellar burst four times the size of the sun, but it's still far inferior to Conquest Ray.
"As for containing the Galactic Plumbers's forces, it's because their indiscriminate attacks have engulfed vast areas of the universe in war, and the Galactic Plumbers needs to provide disaster relief in various places, so they are short-handed."
"Where did the Cursed Empire get so many people?"
"Many civilizations joined them," Brunnhilde explained. "Especially after the fall of the Shi'ar Empire, many secondary civilizations felt that a new empire was rising and chose to submit to the Incursean Empire. And... Loki suspects that the Kree Empire and Skrull Empire were also intentionally creating chaos. It's even possible that the Shi'ar Empire's rapid demise was due to their covert assistance to the Incursean Empire."
The Four Great Empires are too many for them. Since they can't shake the Sakaar Star Empire, they might as well let the other one out of the game.
However, they probably didn't expect the current situation. The rise of the Incursean Empire is happening much faster than they imagined. They originally thought it was a case of driving one wolf to devour another, but they didn't expect the Incursean to be the ferocious tiger themselves.
The moment the Conquest Ray was unleashed, both the Kree and the Skrull were stunned.
Ben understood now.
"No wonder the Incursean, despite their relatively weak individual abilities, were able to dominate a region in their original universe, even surpassing the Red Peak Empire. However, now that they know the strength of the Incursean Empire, the Kree and Skrull probably won't help them anymore."
What they wanted was to return to the original tripartite balance of power, not to do a good deed by eliminating the Shi'ar Empire and helping the Incursean Empire rise to power.
"Currently, all the forces qualified to participate are dividing up the Shi'ar Empire's star systems, and manpower is indeed insufficient."
Ben nodded and didn't ask any more questions about the Incursean Empire.
He didn't care how much that toad jumped around in space, as long as it didn't jump onto the face of his Galactic Plumbers's Association.
"I suppose Milleous knew we were not to be trifled with just by hearing the name of the Galactic Plumbers's Guild."
He told Brunnhilde to find someone to take Mera and the others to rest, then turned and went to the prison on Sakaar.
Brunnhilde's eyes lit up, and she dragged Faora off to a fight.
Sakaar's prisons are divided into several levels. Ben naturally wouldn't care about the ordinary cells; he was going to a special cell where the most dangerous criminals were held. If they escaped, it would inevitably bring a huge disaster to the world.
Generally speaking, Ben's first instinct when dealing with such enemies is to kill them first.
But the universe is so vast that there are always some people who are impossible to kill or difficult to kill, such as the immortal Thanos, and Odin's two offspring.
The space inside the cell was distorted, almost as if it existed independently in another dimension.
This is a cage formed by the power of the Space Stone; escape is virtually impossible.
Ben bypassed Hela and Hoder's prison, where the two were doing fairly well, especially Hela, whose dark circles had faded considerably and whose cheeks had become rounder.
Honestly, although both were prison sentences, Ben's treatment here was much better than the treatment Odin gave her when he sealed her away, to the point that she couldn't bring herself to hate Ben at all.
"Gamora, how have you been lately? Are there any signs that Thanos's Soul Stone is reviving?"
"No, he's probably given up. He's pretty well-behaved now."
Gamora was still lying in bed watching a show when she saw Ben come over, so she slowly got up and stretched.
She wasn't exactly a criminal; she was imprisoned because of Thanos, so her treatment was actually quite good. During this time, her slender waist had become plump, and whenever she sat down, three or four "spare tires" would immediately appear, making Thanos sigh in her mind.
It's ruined.
But Gamora thought this kind of life was actually pretty good. It included food, lodging, and entertainment. Nebula would send her electronic gadgets every now and then to help her pass the time, and she would also occasionally be given opportunities to watch new movies made on Sakaar.
There's not much to chat with; Nebula's been getting busier and busier lately.
So she turned her attention to her two fellow inmates, and to her surprise, they immediately started chatting, complaining about their fathers through the screen, and came to the conclusion that no father is easy to deal with.
He sealed me away for three thousand years!
Hela still gets angry when Odin is mentioned.
"My adoptive father committed genocide against me, and then tried to take my body. His Soul Stone is still inside my head," Gamora lamented.
The topic of her father's sorrow opened up a relationship, and the three of them became familiar with each other. Gradually, Gamora found that this place was really nice, so much so that when Ben came to find her, she didn't want to leave.
"Actually, you don't need to go to so much trouble. It's fine to keep me locked up here. Everyone here is talented and speaks so nicely. I love it here!"
"What are you thinking? The Galactic Plumbers isn't a pig farm. We're not going to let you freeload forever." Ben rolled his eyes. "Hurry up and take down Thanos. Your sister's waiting for you to go work."
"What?" Gamora's eyes widened.
Are you the devil?
She knew perfectly well how busy Nebula had been lately; she didn't even have time to take a dump. Just a few days ago, the guards on routine patrol were saying, "Commander Nebula is really something; she only goes to the toilet once every few days."
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, all in one look!
"No, no, I'm absolutely not going to work!"
His dejected appearance was so awful that even Thanos Ben. Before Ben could even make a move, he floated out of Gamora's Soul Stone, his old face contorted with worry.
"Take me in quickly, then find her a class; this child is really going to be a waste!"
He was truly in pain.
Back then, he put so much effort into training Gamora to be a qualified and excellent warrior. Gamora was his most beloved child, but he never spoiled her, and Gamora almost never disappointed him.
But now, Gamora has almost been turned into a useless person.
"You're so vicious!" Gamora cursed Thanos.
"Shut up!" Thanos roared, half-dead with rage. "Look at yourself now! Can you even see your toes when you look down?"
"I have a great figure! I have big breasts!"
You have no chest whatsoever, it's all just fat on your belly!
Ben glanced over and, sure enough, saw that Gamora was piled high with fat, making her look almost exactly like a decadent Middle-aged Peter from Parallel Universe.
You really should get some exercise.
That weight is something even Star-Lord could only dream of.
Thanos cooperated perfectly.
Knowing he could no longer achieve much, and having relinquished his ambitions, all that remained for him was his love for his children.
After using the Soul Stone to separate their Soul Stone, Gamora looked at Ben and hesitated again.
Like Nebula, she had very complicated feelings towards Thanos, wishing Thanos while also hoping he could live.
Ben noticed her hesitation and offered to explain, "Thanos is very difficult to kill. Unless the curse of the Goddess of Death is broken, killing him no matter how many times you try, it won't work."
Hela not far away, raised her hand. "I never cursed this Purple Potato."
I wasn't talking about you.
Ben shook his head; Hela was no match for death.
If it really is Hela's curse, the Anodite can easily break it with their Energy of the Universe magic.
"I will imprison Thanos in the Null Void Realm to ensure he never reappears."
Null Void Realm.
A real prison.
Ben has wanted to create the Null Void Realm for a long time, but due to too many things, it has not been implemented yet, and choosing a location is also not easy.
However, now that he is the Lord of the Nine Realms, he can make full use of several of the Nine Realms.
He had mentioned this to the Ancient One before, and had already chosen the location of the Null Void Realm in the original Abyss of the Nine Realms. He would then pull Muspelheim, Svartalfheim, Jotunheim, and the ruins of the Old Celestial Palace into the Abyss, and the Null Void Realm would be formed.
In addition to the original Heaven, the Null Void Realm has gathered five extreme negative forces: curse, fire, extreme cold, darkness, and death, which is also a form of torture for the prisoners held within.
"Perfect, we can have the Kryptonian become the guardians of the Null Void Realm."
Ben thought to himself.
Although the Space Stone reinforces the Abyss's barrier, making accidents almost impossible, the presence of jailers makes it feel more like a prison.
He originally intended to place the New Krypton in Legerdomain, but now it seems that Null Void Realm is also a viable option.
He acted immediately, summoning the Space Stone and Reality Stone, and in a flash, he found the Ancient One and Odin with Thanos's Soul Stone.
These two retired old men had nothing to do and didn't like square dancing, so they were just doing free work for themselves.
All three were action-oriented, and immediately dragged several worlds around. Odin now looked even more robust than before, with not a single white hair in his hair or beard. With a wave of his hand, he blasted the Old Celestial Palace into nothingness, and the Bifrost flashed, causing Svartalfheim to fall as well.
The Ancient One cast a teleportation spell, opening a passage between two worlds and sending the shattered, frozen world into it.
Ben transformed into Gravattack, and with a wave of his hand, Muspelheim in the void began to shake and plummeted.
"Reinforce the space."
Seeing that several worlds had already entered nothingness, Ancient One hurriedly shouted.
Ben immediately activated the Space Stone to sealing off the Null Void, and then injected Thanos's Soul Stone into it.
the Null Void is complete.
"Next is rebuilding Krypton, but it's too monotonous to have only Kryptonian as jailers." Ben pondered, stroking his chin.
He remembered that there was a ferocious beast in the original Null Void Realm, which should belong to the same species as the Wildmutt.
"Vulpimancer Alien Beast. It seems like it's time for some races to reappear in this universe, given Little Broken Watch is capable of."
