Kree, Welcome to Earth
With the Dark Aster in the center, three escort ships opened their launch ports and launched a total of twelve ballistic Negasonic Teenage Warhead.
The missile, entirely black with azure energy stripes on its surface, activated its thrusters after separating from the ship and entered the Earth's atmosphere at extremely high speed.
A flash of blue light disappeared in mid-air, and the twelve Negasonic Teenage Warhead remained suspended in mid-air, their thrusters slowly spewing flames, yet they could not advance an inch.
The distance in space is stretched infinitely, and these Negasonic Teenage Warhead, no matter how hard they try, cannot get close to the ground. Even if they explode, the resulting fireworks have a negligible impact on the surrounding area.
Dark Aster quickly detected the anomaly.
"Sir, planet C-53 has intercepted our missiles using a defense system of unknown power."
"It's not a defense system, it's the Tesseract..."
Ronan frowned as he listened to his deputy's report, scrutinizing the frozen image of the missile ahead. He pondered, "Who is using the power of the Tesseract? Mar- Will? How did he do it?"
"It's unclear yet. He's the Inheritors to the Captain Marvel title, so I wouldn't be surprised if he creates some kind of miracle." The second-in-command shrugged, and judging from his tone, he seemed to be a fan of Steve.
"Idiot, the heroes officially announced by the Empire are not worthy of worship. The national idols are too exaggerated. Do you really think Captain Marvel is omnipotent?"
Ronan dismissed it with a smile. Captain Marvel was a political star created by the Supreme Intelligence. Although she was indeed powerful, half of her strength came from her popularity, and she wasn't as invincible as the official propaganda claimed.
The Tesseract is the Space Stone. To manipulate the power of space on a large scale, one must have a tool to control the stone, such as the Infinity Gauntlet in Thanos's possession.
It's not impossible for Mar- Will to forcefully respond to the gem on his own, but Ronan doesn't believe he has that kind of power.
Ronan was filled with curiosity. Just as he was about to order a landing on Earth to find Mar- Will and ask him why, the image of the twelve missiles suddenly went completely black, as if they had been swallowed up by a mysterious behemoth.
"What happened?"
Ronan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly zoomed out to get a clear view.
Against the backdrop of blue sky and white clouds, a pair of enormous, jet-black Wings of Light unfurled and soared upwards at an alarming speed. The twelve missiles were instantly corroded into scrap metal by an invisible force upon contact.
The camera zooms out further and further until the entire outline of the Earth appears in the frame, with the black Wings of Light standing out prominently outside the atmosphere.
The camera zoomed in, revealing Russell's face. His tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, revealing that the whites of his eyes were completely black.
Ronan felt a chill run down his spine; his intuition told him that the other party had already locked onto him.
"This face... I feel like I've seen it somewhere before..." As if he had just realized something, a look of fear flashed in Ronan's eyes, and he hurriedly ordered, "Attack! Intercept him quickly! Don't let him get any closer!"
The frigates spread their wings and launched a large number of small airships, forming a large net that covered Russell's position from afar.
Whoosh!
With a whooshing sound, Ronan rolled forward and fell to the ground, kneeling on one knee and raising the Kree War Hammer known as the 'Universal Weapon' to block his second-in-command's sneak attack.
"You bastard, are you crazy?"
Ronan cursed loudly, and when he met his deputy's pitch-black eyes, a chill ran through him.
The second-in-command's eyes were exactly the same as Russell's eyes he had seen before. Ronan knew he was being controlled, so he said no more, deflected the downward-pressing longsword, raised his warhammer and released an energy shock, killing the second-in-command on the spot without hesitation.
Outside the atmosphere, Russell's black Wings of Light stretched infinitely behind him, forming a huge encirclement, larger than the encirclement net constructed by a small airship.
The Wings of Light closed, and a thick black mist rose up. When they opened again, the numerous small airships were all reduced to decaying debris.
"Attack! Open fire freely and take him down!"
At Ronan's command, Dark Aster and its three escort ships unleashed their full firepower, firing in a barrage ahead.
The three escort ships dispersed, their main guns charging at the front, and their wings unfurling launch ports that launched countless small airships, which swarmed towards Earth like locusts.
Once the warship's main guns were fully charged, the secondary guns fired first, and a dense barrage of missiles completed a saturation attack ahead of time.
Three waves of attacks came in quick succession. In an instant, beams of light suddenly lit up, forming a dazzling screen that illuminated the entire dark universe.
The overwhelming and devastating attacks are the military strength that the Kree Empire is proud of, and also the basis for their unbridled rampage in the boundless starry sky.
But the next second, the vast black fog spread out without warning, and the beams of light that were once awe-inspiring now appeared as tiny as grains of rice, suddenly lighting up and then quickly going out.
The iron hooves of war, the beams of death, are utterly vulnerable under the corrosive influence of darkness.
Russell, with wings on his back and his hands outstretched, created a black screen that continuously released energy from the Dark Dimension, erecting an indestructible wall that kept the interstellar warships' attacks away from Earth.
The beam of light disappeared into it, vanishing without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea. Missiles and small airships were directly corroded into scrap metal, shattered into worthless space junk, and floated in the universe.
After three rounds of attacks, even the most powerful warships' main cannons failed to penetrate the Dark Territory, and the momentum of the four warships led by Dark Aster clearly weakened.
Reciprocity is key!
The Kree attack ended, and Russell's counterattack began.
With a wave of his hand, he aimed at one of the frigates, curled his fingers into a claw, and then clenched his fist.
An endless black mist surged forth, transforming into a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky and seized the escort ship.
The corrosive energy shattered the warship's energy defense shield, and a continuous stream of black mist seeped in, carrying hallucinogenic and maddening negative factors. As the Kree soldiers slaughtered each other, the entire frigate was crushed into dull, lifeless scrap metal.
The corrosive energy continued unabated, devouring the disintegrating scrap metal. From the start of the attack to its end, the warship vanished into thin air in less than ten seconds.
"Retreat! Return to the jump node!"
Ronan, drenched in sweat, practically roared as he gave the order. The technology of planet C-53 was insignificant, but this planet was home to powerful beings capable of easily destroying a civilization.
Ronan recognized Russell's face. The Black Order's Wanted were still circulating among various civilizations because Russell had killed Black Order, the Corvus Glaive of the Black Order.
According to rumors, Thanos personally participated in the hunt for Russell, and the two clashed on Morag.
The exact outcome remains unknown, Black Order has remained tight-lipped about it, but the fact that Thanos was seriously injured and that Morag was destroyed and subsequently designated a forbidden zone for life is undeniable.
The cause and effect can be easily deduced...
Thanos's henchmen were killed, so he personally led a group to seek revenge, only to be nearly beaten to death.
This matter was widely circulated among various cosmic civilizations for some time, but only among high-ranking officials or those with good information.
Coincidentally, Ronan was both a high-ranking official and a well-informed person.
Ronan, who had even defeated Thanos, would naturally not provoke Mar- Will, and was filled with endless regret, cursing him as a scumbag.
If he had known the Tesseract already had an owner, he wouldn't have come!
The three interstellar warships slowly retreated, but Ronan's expression grew increasingly grim. As if the twelve missiles could not advance an inch, his Dark Aster, with its power fully engaged, remained motionless, displaying a fearless attitude.
Russell raised the Infinity Gauntlet, Space Stone shone with a blue light.
The next moment, at his command, the purple light representing the Power Stone burst forth.
Dark Aster and the two escort ships stood frozen in place, their surfaces ablaze with a destructive purple light. Enormous energy and shockwaves devoured the ships' energy shields, exhausting them in the blink of an eye.
Energy invaded, and the ship slowly disintegrated, starting from the surface, with the steel frame peeling away and breaking down to the molecular level under the surging force.
The destruction of the three interstellar warships was inevitable. Ronan knew he was powerless to reverse it, so he gripped the Universal Weapon warhammer, hoping to teleport himself back to the Kree Empire.
It failed!
The space near near-Earth orbit was completely locked down, and the only place he could teleport to was...
Earth!
With no other choice, Ronan, a man destined for great things, was unwilling to perish with the Dark Aster and decisively teleported away to escape.
Thirty seconds later, the three interstellar warships disintegrated and turned into cosmic dust under the destruction of the Power Stone.
In the middle of the desert, Ronan knelt on one knee, holding a warhammer. His pure Kree blue skin attracted the attention of Natasha and the others. Before he could say anything, a hail of bullets followed.
Ronan possesses superhuman strength, endurance, speed, and reflexes, all of which are enhanced when he wears the armor suit.
The warhammer, known as the "Universal Weapon," is a high-tech marvel of the Kree Empire, God-tier Individual Weapon with abilities such as matter decomposition and recombination, energy absorption, gravity control, force field creation, Shockwave, and teleportation.
Therefore, he didn't take these ordinary attacks seriously at all, and easily blocked them with a single defensive structure.
Boom!!
Natasha unleashed a psychic shockwave that shattered the defensive force field like a hammer blow and struck Ronan's mental level directly, causing him to bleed from his mouth and nose and nearly collapse to the ground due to mental instability.
"And who are you people?"
Looking around at the Hydra agents surrounding him, Ronan secretly groaned. The only one he recognized was Natasha, and the Black Order also had Wanted.
This is no primitive, barren planet; it's clearly the hideout of the BOSS!
Upon seeing Mar- Will lying on the ground, his life hanging in the balance, Ronan's pupils contracted. His mind raced, connecting the dots, and he realized it was a conspiracy; someone was using Mar- Will to lure him into a trap.
It's ridiculous that he thought he got a good deal and foolishly offered himself up.
Russell could arrive at any moment, and Ronan knew that this was not a place to stay for long. He activated telepathy again, gripped his warhammer, and prepared to escape.
With a deafening boom, a shockwave of Photon Energy struck, shattering Ronan's concentrated will. The remaining force not only sent him flying, but also caused his warhammer to slip from his grasp.
Steve staggered to his feet, staring at Ronan with immense regret. "Kree, you shouldn't have come to this planet."
"Stegers!!"
Upon seeing the first Captain Marvel, who had been missing for many years, Ronan gasped. The water on Earth was deeper than he had imagined. He hurriedly turned around to pick up the 'Universal Weapon', Warhammer.
Snap!
Russell, with one foot on his warhammer, looked down at Ronan's sweat-drenched face. "Kree, welcome to Earth!"
"..."
"I'm from a remote and impoverished area, so I don't have anything to offer you. I'll just use my hospitality..." With that, Russell clenched his Infinity Gauntlet into a fist and, using the standard greeting of an Earthling, punched Ronan on the head.
