Large Magellanic Cloud, Hala.
In the sky.
It was no longer the usual busy trade ships, nor the patrolling Accuser fleets.
But five thousand pure white battleships printed with the purple "Fu" (Fortune/Blessing) emblem.
Like a massive white sky-net, they firmly blockaded all orbits of Hala.
That was the fleet of the Frieza Legion.
"Oh my, my..."
On the observation deck of the flagship Emperor.
Frieza sat in that golden hover pod, swirling a glass of millennial fine wine from Asgard's cellar.
His scarlet eyes looked through the transparent shield.
Overlooking the planet below, filled with a sense of technology yet emitting an aura of decay.
"Is this the capital of the Kree Empire?"
"This dusty color scheme is simply like that Ronan's face; it makes one lose their appetite just looking at it."
Frieza curled his lip, full of disgust.
"As this Emperor's future Asset No. 004, this terrible decoration style must be completely torn down and redone."
Behind him.
Apocalypse, Loki, Magneto, and the others, wearing white and purple tight combat suits, were bowing their heads, waiting respectfully.
Although they tried hard to straighten their backs, after witnessing Frieza blowing up Galactus with one punch.
That awe engraved in their bones made them dare not even breathe loudly.
"What?"
Frieza tilted his head slightly, looking at this group of subordinates, frowning slightly.
"All mute?"
"Do I have to go down personally to hand out flyers to those blue monsters, telling them their houses are being requisitioned?"
"No! We wouldn't dare!"
Apocalypse shuddered and quickly knelt on one knee.
"Subordinate will lead people down right now to clean up those unappreciative illegal residents!"
"Clean up?"
Frieza looked at Apocalypse and sighed, his eyes full of disappointment at their lack of ambition.
"Apocalypse, oh Apocalypse."
"Look down there."
Frieza pointed to the dense Kree fortifications below.
"That is the foundation of the Kree Empire over tens of thousands of years. Just those Accuser-level elite soldiers number in the hundreds of thousands."
"Relying on you few crooked melons and cracked dates..."
Frieza struck mercilessly:
"Charging down there is just delivering food."
"If I have to personally fish you out later, how much face would I lose?"
Apocalypse and Loki looked at each other, bowing their heads in shame.
Although they didn't want to admit it.
But the King was right.
They might be able to dominate on Earth, but in front of such an interstellar hegemon-level empire, they really weren't enough to look at.
Just a volley from those battleship main cannons would be enough for them to handle.
"Really..."
Frieza put down the wine glass, rubbing his brow somewhat helplessly.
"Originally wanted to be a hands-off boss."
"Resulted in recruiting a group of cheerleaders who only know how to shout '666'."
"The quality of employees this term is too poor."
Frieza slowly floated out of the hover pod.
He looked at these few subordinates who were loyal to him.
Although their strength was a bit weak, they were the first batch of old employees after all, and they were handy enough to use.
"Fine."
"Since we are going to do big things; if a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools."
Frieza raised his right hand.
In his palm, a ball of purple Ki, so dense it was nearly liquefied, began to condense madly.
That wasn't ordinary energy.
That was the vast ocean of Ki from within Golden Frieza!
"Open your mouths."
Frieza said indifferently.
"Huh?" Loki paused. "My King, this..."
"Cut the crap!"
Frieza waved his hand casually.
Swish swish swish!
Several streams of purple light, as if possessing intelligence.
Instantly drilled into the bodies of Apocalypse, Loki, Magneto, Sebastian Shaw, and the others!
BOOM————!!!
In an instant.
A terrifying aura exploded inside the bridge!
Apocalypse felt his body was about to explode!
That power surged in every one of his cells.
On his originally blue skin, a layer of purple-gold luster actually faintly emerged!
"ROAR!!!"
Apocalypse couldn't help but roar at the sky. His size didn't increase.
But that oppressive feeling was even more terrifying than when he gigantified a hundred times before!
Loki stared at his hands in shock.
He felt the divine power in his body undergo a qualitative change under the scouring of this Ki!
The current him even had an illusion.
Even if that stupid brother holding a hammer resurrected and stood in front of him, he could slap him flying with one hand!
"Th... This is the King's power?!"
Magneto trembled with excitement; the surrounding metal floor wailed under his magnetic field.
Frieza looked at this scene and nodded with satisfaction.
"Not bad."
He silently estimated in his heart.
"According to the combat power conversion from Dragon Ball..."
"These guys' current combat power is at least over 100,000."
What is the concept of 100,000 combat power?
Captain Ginyu back then was only 120,000.
Placed in this Marvel Cinematic Universe...
"This is roughly equivalent to..."
Frieza stroked his chin.
"An entire legion composed of Odins without Gungnir?"
Although without the blessing of divine artifacts.
But pure physical strength and energy output were absolutely at a crushing level!
"Alright, stop being intoxicated with yourselves."
Frieza waved his hand, interrupting everyone's excitement.
"Power has been given to you."
"If you still can't take down this broken planet like this..."
Frieza's eyes instantly turned cold.
"Then this Emperor can only stuff you into the toilet and flush you away."
"Do you understand?!"
"YES! MY KING!!!"
At this moment, Apocalypse, Loki, and the others' confidence had swelled to the extreme.
They felt they could tear apart battleships with their hands and stomp planets with their feet!
"Move out!"
Apocalypse roared.
Leading everyone, they smashed directly through the glass of the bridge, charging towards Hala below.
---
Hala, Hall of the Supreme Intelligence.
A massive green face appeared on the screen; that was the crystallization of all wisdom of the Kree Empire—the Supreme Intelligence.
But at this moment, this absolutely rational biological computer fell into a logical infinite loop.
"Win rate is zero..."
"Survival probability is zero..."
"Suggestion: Surrender immediately, apply to become slave class, preserve genetic spark."
However.
The leader of the Kree Accusers standing below, that fanatic who replaced Ronan, pulled out his war hammer violently.
"Shut up! You broken machine!"
He smashed the control panel connecting to the Supreme Intelligence with one hammer strike.
"The Kree Empire will never be slaves!"
"That guy named Frieza, even if he is strong, is just one person!"
"We have hundreds of billions of citizens! Endless fleets!"
"Even by piling bodies, we will pile him to death!"
The Accuser leader turned around, facing the group of equally fanatical Kree officers behind him.
"All personnel, listen to my order!"
"For the glory of Kree!"
"Fight to the death!!"
"KILL!!!"
Rumble—!
The surface of Hala cracked instantly.
Countless hidden anti-air turrets rose, and dense swarms of Kree fighters surged out of the atmosphere like a bee swarm.
Even facing that monster legendary for killing Galactus with one punch.
This most stubborn fighting race in the universe still chose to draw their swords.
However.
Just the moment they rushed out of the atmosphere.
Several figures emitting terrifying auras had already fallen like meteors.
"Is this the Kree Empire's welcome ceremony?"
Apocalypse, charging at the front, looked at the sky-filling artillery fire, an extremely cruel grin appearing on his blue face.
He felt the surging, seemingly inexhaustible power in his body.
That was a power never felt before!
"Too weak!"
"Simply too weak!"
Apocalypse spread his arms wide.
No need for gigantification at all, nor any telekinetic tricks.
He simply released the Ki within his body.
BOOM————!!!
A purple energy storm, with him as the center, instantly swept through the airspace for a hundred kilometers!
Those Kree fighters that had just taken off.
In front of this energy storm, were like paper planes encountering a hurricane.
Instantly disintegrated, exploded, turning into sky-filling fireballs!
"Hahahaha! Is this the power granted by the King?!"
Apocalypse laughed wildly, throwing a punch.
Where the fist wind passed, the air was compressed into an air cannon, directly leveling a military base on the ground!
And on the other side.
Loki's figure shuttled through the Kree fleet like a ghost.
The daggers in his hands had long been replaced by energy blades condensed from Ki.
"Is this the feeling of a god?"
Loki slashed casually.
A heavy cruiser a thousand meters long was actually cut in half at the waist by him like cutting tofu!
That pleasure of cutting metal like butter made Loki tremble with excitement.
"I am a god! I am a true god!"
"Thor! If you were still alive, seeing me now, you'd be scared enough to wet your pants, right?!"
Magneto was even more like a fish in water.
With the boost of Ki, his magnetic control range directly covered half the planet!
"Break... for me!"
He clenched his palm.
Thousands of Kree warships outside the atmosphere were instantly squeezed into metal pancakes by their own metal structures!
High in the sky.
Frieza sat in the hover pod, watching the brilliant fires of war below, and took a satisfied sip of wine.
"Not bad."
"Now this looks a bit like a Galactic Emperor's Praetorian Guard."
"It seems this investment has paid off."
