After everyone turned to look at her, Carol rubbed her stomach, then boldly wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. She was straightforward by nature and naturally did not beat around the bush, giving them the answer directly:
"Supreme Intelligence once told me that when Mental Power becomes strong enough, it can form an 'external brain' like this, allowing the universe to assist you in thinking."
"Oh? He could do that too?"
As Hela tidied her hair, she studied the thing inside the skull.
A brain without a physical form was quite novel even to her, a God of the Underworld who often dealt with corpses. She even felt an urge to take this football-field-sized organ home and place it in front of the Death Palace as decoration.
"Yes. Although Supreme Intelligence began as a Super AI, he later underwent 'bionic evolution' and gained extraordinarily powerful Mental Power."
Captain Marvel squeezed the drink bottle in her hand, as though recalling what it had felt like to face Supreme Intelligence in the past. He would constantly take on the appearances of people she knew and communicate with her in the mental world. She had been furious at the time, yet unable to change anything:
"Not only was his entire head incorporeal, he could also project mental avatars anywhere in the universe. Since he told me about external brains, I believe he could have done it himself with ease."
"But he still died. It seems our universe isn't very intelligent and didn't offer him much help with his thinking." Thanos joined the conversation. Evidently, after the battle just now, he had vented some of his anger and was in a much better mood.
As a notorious cosmic mass murderer, Thanos had often attacked Kree Empire colony worlds in the past.
