After being reminded by female commander Faora, Zod finally knew.
Who is this tall, blue-skinned male creature standing in front of me?
The core of power of the Kree Empire, Ronan the Accuser.
The famous dictatorial warlord in the galaxy, Coldblood executioner.
In the war against Xandar, he once carried out inhumane extermination Carnage.
Its evil reputation is not inferior to Mad Titan Thanos.
Nova Corps has strongly condemned this behavior more than once.
But due to the huge military power of the Kree Empire, all they could do was give verbal warnings while avoiding conflicts.
"In this case..."
Considering that continuing to entangle may cause more trouble, Zod slowed down his tone.
Before the grand cause of Krypton's reconstruction had even taken the first step, it had an irreconcilable conflict with the Kree Empire, one of the three major forces in the galaxy.
This is obviously unwise behavior.
therefore.
Kryptonian General is willing to compromise and give in.
"... For the Kree Empire's sake, you can leave after you apologize."
Zod thinks he is very generous and does not care about Ronan the Accuser's rude remarks and arrogance.
But the dictatorial warlord from the Kree Empire only felt that this was Chi Guoguo's provocation.
"Have you always been so brave?"
Ronan the Accuser gripped the long-handled war hammer, and his sharp eyes scraped across Zod's body like a knife.
"You actually want me to apologize? If I don't take your lives today, it would be the greatest mercy."
The originally relaxed atmosphere became tense again as these words fell.
Kryptonian General's face darkened. He knew that the laws of survival in the universe were the same as those in nature, focusing on personal strength and ethnic group power.
The beings at the top of the food chain in the jungle can indeed take what they want from the creatures at the bottom and slaughter them at will.
But what surprised him was that Ronan the Accuser, who held heavy troops and controlled the fleet, hadn't seen the current situation clearly.
"Bravery is the basic quality of a warrior. I would like to ask, are you so confident in yourself, or in the Kree Empire's fleet?"
Zod glanced at it roughly, in terms of the opponent's strength.
If we really had to fight, at best it would be a 50-50 tie with Kryptonian warrior.
In terms of pure physical fitness, Ronan the Accuser might be even worse.
After all, thanks to the blessing of the yellow sun, Kryptonian's physique is constantly changing.
Let alone Kree, even Eternals may not be enough.
"Confidence is a fundamental quality of a leader."
Ronan the Accuser stood out from the crowd and looked at Kryptonian General.
"You rejected your only chance to survive. Do you have any last words to say now?"
The two people confronting each other were like gamblers who each thought they had a king bomb.
Zod believes that his fist is enough to push the opponent to the ground and rub him back and forth.
Ronan the Accuser feels that with the support of the Kree Empire's fleet and its own force as a guarantee, there is no need to take the other party seriously.
During his years of fighting in the galaxy, he had never encountered an enemy that could threaten his life.
Not long ago, Supreme Intelligence of the Kree Empire gave a powerful weapon as a reward to Ronan.
Therefore, this Accuser has unprecedented confidence in his own strength.
"Heh, that's exactly what I wanted to ask you."
Zod took a step forward, a terrifying momentum building up, as if he was ready to smash his fist into Ronan the Accuser's head at any time.
"You two, give me some face!"
Just when the battle was about to break out, Tanya Difan's projection blocked the two of them.
"Although Knowhere does not prohibit private duels, this is a star port, not a gladiatorial arena."
Collector, who was far away on the top floor of the Tivan Group headquarters building, saw that the situation was getting worse and had to step in to stop it.
He knows exactly what kind of madman Ronan the Accuser is.
Nova Corps turned a blind eye to the existence of Knowhere.
Three Great Galactic Empires also gives Cosmic Elder basic respect.
But this Kree Empire war madman may not follow the rules.
In case Ronan becomes angry, let the fleet directly fire at Knowhere and level the place.
Afterwards, Collector may not be able to hold him accountable.
Cosmic Elder only has a transcendent status, and his military strength may not be comparable to Three Great Galactic Empires.
As for Zod?
Although Tanya Difan didn't know the origin of the other party.
But his vision and knowledge are much higher than the arrogant Accuser.
Strong!
This is Collector's first impression when he sees Kryptonian General through the ubiquitous monitoring equipment.
The terrifying aura like a silent volcano cannot be disguised casually.
Only strong warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles and won countless victories can develop a mental will as indestructible as steel.
Grandmaster sends out Slave Hunters teams all year round, looking for qualified warriors everywhere.
On Sakaar, there are competitive competitions every year and every month.
Under the influence of ears and eyes, Collector still has some judgment ability.
"I really want to give you face and let this reckless guy go."
Ronan the Accuser said lightly, but did not let go of his right hand holding the long-handled war hammer.
"But you should also know that Kree has always valued honor and dignity the most and will never refuse any challenge."
Collector was stunned for a moment and remained silent.
Of course he knows that Kree Empire is famous for its warrior culture.
Every pure Kree with blue skin is a born invader and predator.
And Ronan the Accuser is one of the best.
"Then this brave warrior, you..."
Tanya Difan turned his attention to Zod.
However, the latter did not give him face either.
"Kryptonian will never forgive any arrogant person who insults his own race."
This time, Zod did not give in.
Krypton?
Collector and Ronan the Accuser felt strange after hearing it.
This is a planet they have never heard of!
"In that case, then you all go to the arena. Anyway, in two days there will be Knowhere's warrior competition."
Seeing that neither of them gave him face, Collector felt a little embarrassed and said angrily.
Tivan Group's business covers all planets in the galaxy, and the most profitable human trade in the interstellar colonial era will naturally not be spared.
In fact, in Sakaar's arena.
Half of the gladiators were transported by Collector.
Different from Grandmaster's personal hobby, Tanya Difan regards this as a popular business with huge returns and manages it carefully.
In order to build momentum for the annual auction house, Knowhere will open the arena and hold a warrior competition.
The winner will receive a huge bonus that will be the envy of the entire galaxy.
"Arena... Okay! I heard that Captain of the Guards from the Shi'ar Empire will also come to this auction."
Ronan the Accuser seemed to have remembered something and said loudly, "When the arena officially opens, I can use this... Kryptonian to warm up, and then have a battle with Gladiator!"
Gladiator.
My real name is Kallark.
He is one of the three major forces in the galaxy, Captain of the Guards of the Shi'ar Empire.
He is also recognized as a strong person in the universe.
In the comics, Gladiator has fought against Hulk and Thor.
His personal combat prowess is quite outstanding. He can smash asteroids with his bare hands, can survive in the core of the sun, and his body is hard enough to withstand the bombardment of gamma rays.
Gladiator has a characteristic, the more confident you are, the stronger you are.
When he firmly believed that he could win.
Ability in all aspects will be greatly improved, and there is no limit.
Therefore, it entered the ranks of "Marvel Universe Four Supermen".
Ronan the Accuser has long wanted to decide the outcome with Gladiator and seize the supreme honor of "the most powerful warrior in the universe" from the opponent.
"Kallark Captain of the Guard, you are here to participate in the auction. You may not agree to this... duel."
Collector had a terrible headache, and he knew that Ronan the Accuser would be up to no good if he came to Knowhere.
"So, I will take a photo of the final resource planet as a bet for the battle!"
Ronan said confidently.
"..."
Tanlia Difan was very shocked, as if he did not expect that the other party was so generous.
But where does this Kree Empire dictatorial warlord get his confidence?
The reputation of Gladiator is known to everyone in the entire galaxy.
In terms of combat power, Ronan the Accuser and Shi'ar Empire's Captain of the Guards are not at the same level at all.
"I hope you can stay at Knowhere for two days and don't run away."
After taking a deep look at Zod, Ronan left the starport surrounded by the Kree Empire warriors.
Kryptonian General just raised his eyebrows and didn't say much.
All the grudges will be left to the arena two days later, where we will see each other again.
