Chapter Ninety-Six: The Accuser
Deep in the universe, the space transit station of a galaxy.
A small, one-man spaceship pierced the starry sky, spewing a long trail of flames. It stopped propulsion when it was still some distance from the space station, and by inertia it slid to the vicinity of the mooring dock, ready to land.
Its target is a giant black Kerry battleship. The ship was the biggest guy on the entire interstellar dock, and it was parked on the space station like a dragon with steel wings stretched out taking a nap. It automatically opens the telescopic track to greet the solo aircraft when it approaches it. The aircraft came to a steady halt in orbit, the movable slide supporting its body into the cabin, and the hatch closing closely.
A woman jumped out of the flying machine, her footsteps landing on the black floor, stirring up a crisp echo. It was a blue-skinned woman, wearing a close-fitting black uniform with a smooth, well-proportioned body, though most of her body had been replaced with a machine.
She had a straight face, her lips almost tightly pursed into a slit. Her gaze was cold, and there was no warmth on her stereotyped face, like a cold-blooded animal.
She is the adopted daughter of Nebula, the legendary cosmic conqueror of the Titan, Thanos.
Two groups of Cree soldiers were already waiting in the parking room. Nebula jumped off the plane and walked without saying a word, and the two groups of soldiers immediately turned around and led her towards the interior of the ship.
The two sides did not communicate with each other along the way.
The Kree who led the way stopped at the last gate, because beyond that was not the area they had the right to enter. The dark and heavy Krialloy gate rose upward, and Nebula stepped inside, facing the king who sat on the black throne.
It was a Kree wrapped in black armor, wearing a black helmet, blue skin, and a black warhammer standing upside down next to his seat. He looked blankly at the Nebula who walked into the room, his gaze like an icicle, the chill reaching through his bones. Just being in the same room with him makes one feel an indescribably powerful oppression.
This is Ronan the Accuser, one of the most powerful "Cree Supreme Accusers" of the Kree Legion who has conquered ten galaxies. He is a star-famous Kerry powerhouse, extremely powerful, even chasing the brutal conqueror Thanos. Known even within the Kree Empire for his cruelty and ruthlessness, he was fanatical and brutal, never showing mercy to his enemies, and countless souls died at his hands.
Legend has it that ever since he assumed the title of "The Accuser", he has never been defeated in the face of any enemy in his life.
Nebula stood before his throne, looking up at the Kree Empire's supreme powerhouse.
"I am Nebula, daughter of Thanos." She said.
Ronan raised his eyelids and looked at her as if he had the slightest interest.
"And what is Thanos' reply?"
"You can think about it." "But Father also said that you need to do something for him before then. ”
Ronan said in a strong voice, "I never obey anyone's commands. Not even Thanos. ”
His voice raised slightly as he spoke, and his body in the chair seemed to straighten. The cold pressure suddenly increased. But Nebula didn't show the slightest fear, and his thin waist pole was stretched straight under heavy pressure.
"Not an order, but an equivalent exchange." Nebula said, "Father has promised to send troops to help you realize your dream of destroying the Nova Legion and leveling the planet of Shandar. But before that, he just needs a small favor from you to help him retrieve something. I think you should have a clear understanding of the current situation and know better how important Thanos' help is to you. And in exchange for these, you only need to do one small thing with your hands raised. ”
Ronan's face was still cold and unfazed, and there was no trace of his mental activity on that face.
But she was right, and Ronan was well aware of the situation and the stakes.
Xandar is an old enemy with a grudge against the Kree Empire for many years, and has been fighting wars of all sizes for many years. Both sides have paid a huge price in the long war, both in terms of resources and wealth, and of course more in terms of manpower.
After a protracted battle, the leadership of Sandal and Kerry finally agreed that what was stupid for both sides should be stopped. Sandar and Kerry signed a peace agreement, agreeing that the water from the well would never interfere with the river, and the bloody history finally came to an end.
But not everyone is happy with the result.
Ronan is the representative of the fanatical militants of the Kree. He did not agree with this weak and compromised peace, and in his opinion there was only one kind of peace, which was to completely defeat one's opponents, trample them under their feet, and make them cry and cry for mercy over the corpses and blood of their fellow citizens. He believed that that was the only way to achieve peace.
This is why Ronan chose to ignore the orders of his superiors and continue to attack the forces of Xandar in his own way. He was even more crazy about smashing the Yellow Dragon and destroying the other party's foundation. However, Xandar is also guarded by the famous "Nova Legion" in the interstellar world, and no matter how strong his personal strength is, it is impossible to break through the defense line of the Nova Legion.
That's why he needs the help of Thanos, the star conqueror whose reputation is even more resounding than he is. Only if Thanos agrees to make a move, he will be able to break the Nova Legion and bloodied Sandar.
After a moment of thought, the accuser spoke in a low voice, "What does Thanos want?" ”
"Cosmic Cube." Nebula said, "He had sent him to an exiled Asgardian army to bring him back to Earth, but he has not been heard from since. ”
"Asgardians." Ronan snorted disdainfully, not hiding his contempt for the term, "Those arrogant God's Domain people can't do anything. ”
The Kree Empire and the Asgardian Divine Domain, which rules the Nine Realms, also have perennial grudges. Although the two sides are not as deep as the Nova Legion, they are definitely not allies.
"It turns out that it seems to be true." Xingyun said lightly, "That's why he decided to ask you to make a move, because in this way, it is basically nine out of ten." The civilization of the earth is notoriously backward in the interstellar world, and it is inhabited by only an uncivilized primitive tribe. Such conditions should be nothing more than a trivial matter for the great accuser, right? ”
Ronan looked at her, narrowing his eyes.
After a while, he replied coldly, "Tell Thanos, he got my assurance." In a few days at most, I will bring back the Cosmic Cube. When the time comes, I hope that he will also keep that part of his commitment. ”
