"I can't believe it," Black Bolt exclaimed, staring at the unharmed Ronn.
His mouth uncontrollably let out another sonic scream, but the moon's surface before him had already been blasted into a spreading, fan-shaped abyss, a black hole of unknown depth, with nothing left for him to destroy.
"If the King's attack had been unleashed within the city, Attilan would have been at least half destroyed."
Watching the broadcast, the Inhumans' eyes widened, even more shocked by the effect of Black Bolt's power, and even more horrified by Ronn's strength.
"But… even such a powerful attack couldn't harm him!"
"He is stronger and more powerful than a mountain cast from solid iron."
"Oh My Lord, can our King defeat him?"
The more impactful the destruction caused by Black Bolt's attack, the more it indirectly demonstrated Ronn's might.
Medusa and the others' expressions changed, and a hint of panic couldn't help but surface in their hearts; they no longer had the same confidence in the battle's outcome as before the fight began.
The same old problem: the power was comparable to a small-yield nuclear explosion, but it wasn't concentrated enough.
"It's my turn."
Ronn ignited with crimson flames, transforming into a streak of light and suddenly charging forward.
Hoo! Boom!
Black Bolt frantically roared, unleashing sonic screams one after another.
After fully witnessing Ronn's abnormal physique, he wouldn't dare let Ronn get close to him, even if it meant death.
If Ronn got close, he would be defeated in less than a second.
Ronn dodged, tracing a graceful arc.
He roared repeatedly, trying to hit, but all his attempts were dodged.
Screech!
At dozens of times the speed of sound, Ronn instantly moved several miles horizontally through the air, dodging the spreading sonic scream, and his eyes shot out scorching rays containing terrifying energy.
Black Bolt wasn't the only one with long-range attack methods.
"Disperse!"
Black Bolt opened his mouth and let out a full-force roar that echoed across the Moon, and a surging, mountain-shattering, tsunami-like force blasted out, actually managing to forcefully disperse the incoming heat vision.
Bang!
In an instant, facing the sonic scream that charged like a meteorite propelled by a planetary engine.
Vast, explosive!
Ronn roared softly, his entire body's flames surged, and plasma energy was released in torrents, making him transform into an exploding supernova.
A dazzling small Sun rose on the Moon.
After letting out an unprecedented Moon-shaking roar, Black Bolt couldn't withstand the recoil of the attack; his body lost balance, and he tumbled and rolled several times across the Moon, flying hundreds of meters.
Only when he heavily crashed into the wall of a meteorite crater did his momentum stop.
"Is this your full power, Black Bolt?"
Finally, as the plasma energy dispersed like a fleeting light, Ronn's tall and slender figure emerged; using his true power, he was like an iron anchor firmly nailed in the void, no longer pushed back even a meter.
He looked at his skin, whose capillaries were broken, slightly red, and steaming with heat, then slowly turned his head to look at Black Bolt.
As he turned his gaze, the redness of his skin rapidly faded, becoming perfectly unharmed.
"Not… bad."
His Superman vision allowed him to clearly see Ronn's condition; Black Bolt's face was grim, his eyes wide with shock, and a somewhat hoarse and difficult sound came from deep in his throat.
"In the past, my overly powerful abilities often caused inconvenience, but facing you today, for the first time, I feel that my own abilities are not strong enough."
"You, the outsider, are the strongest Inhumans I have ever seen."
Facing the monster-like strong person before him, his abilities might still be insufficient; he began to hope that this was not his limit yet.
"Surrender?"
Standing high in the void, Ronn offered two choices: "Or wait for me to grant you a crushing defeat?"
Human vocal cords cannot withstand prolonged full-force shouting.
A roar capable of leveling a city in one go is certainly powerful.
But Black Bolt couldn't shout many times before his throat would become hoarse and injured, gradually even bleeding and losing his voice.
After Black Bolt's full-force attack failed to seriously injure him, the outcome of this battle was already decided.
Surrendering now would still allow him to retain some dignity.
"Never!"
Black Bolt, with the dignity of a king, replied to Ronn with an attacking roar.
A qualified king can be defeated or even killed, but he will never fear or surrender.
Boom!
Once again, a mighty Impact streaked across the Lunar sky.
"It seems I still have to do it myself."
Releasing terrifying vibration waves throughout his body, Ronn's palm emitted a thick energy ray, and he charged rapidly towards Black Bolt, pushing through Black Bolt's roar, which was strong enough to shatter steel into powder.
Whoosh!
Black Bolt cleverly used the recoil of his sonic scream to fly backward rapidly, constantly maintaining distance from Ronn and continuously roaring, attempting to defeat Ronn.
"My husband will not be defeated."
"Our King, you are the strongest Inhumans, prove it to us!"
Under the defensive dome, Medusa and the others' hearts were already clenched, hoping that the power Ronn had just used to withstand Black Bolt's full-force attack was a temporary burst that couldn't be replicated, and expecting him to be defeated by Black Bolt next.
"It seems another person as powerful as a god is about to fall by your hand."
Audreyf was also watching the battle, and her eyes lit up as she saw Ronn, who was dominating the fight with his powerful stance, constantly forcing Black Bolt to retreat.
Two figures battled on the Moon; everything in their path was destroyed, hard lunar rock was pulverized, the ground was torn apart, and hundreds of miles of land trembled.
Gulp.
Swallowing constantly, the entire Inhumans' hearts were in their throats, their minds tightly gripped by this shocking battle.
This battle would decide who would lead and rule them from today onward!
...
Whoosh! Whoosh!
In the vast Universe, a massive interstellar fleet, utilizing wormhole jumps, was constantly traveling through the Universe.
Any spaceship that caught a glimpse of that fleet would flee in terror.
The fleet had the style of the Kree Empire, bearing the Kree insignia.
The Universe once had three great empires: the Kree Empire, the Skrull Empire, and the Kree Empire.
Among them, the Skrull Empire was once the oldest and most powerful empire in the Universe, but now it has been destroyed by the Kree Empire!
The current Kree Empire even subtly shows a tendency to become the number one cosmic overlord.
The Kree Empire is cold and warlike, believing in imperialism and totalitarianism; once a plan is decided, even the most bloody and ruthless decision will be carried out unswervingly.
Countless Planets in the Universe have been destroyed by the Kree Empire; everyone fears its power and ruthlessness.
"Respected Supreme Accuser, we are estimated to arrive at the Planet you designated in half an hour."
The fleet's adjutant reported respectfully.
"I understand."
A tall figure in battle armor, with blue skin, stood with his hands behind his back in front of the spaceship's viewport, looking at the vast star river; his expression was cold, and a vein on his forehead throbbed subtly, as if a hint of uncontrollable anger was present.
Kree Supreme Accuser — Ronan.
Ronan was born in Hala, the capital of the Kree Empire in the Greater Magellanic Cloud; he joined the Accuser Corps, an organization that wielded the empire's military power and upheld laws, at a young age, and quickly rose to become one of the most powerful people among the Kree.
Soon after, he was appointed Supreme Accuser by the Supreme Intelligence, becoming one of the leaders of the Accuser Corps.
"Supreme Intelligence…"
His clasped hands behind his back, Ronan's eyes flashed with unwillingness, and he gritted his teeth, softly muttering the name of the entity that ruled the Kree Empire and had promoted him to Supreme Accuser.
"The Empire needs reform; it cannot forever let everything be controlled by a computer that only analyzes pros and cons."
The adjutant next to him broke out in a cold sweat, not daring to speak, pretending not to have heard.
The Supreme Intelligence, a living computer created by the Kree ancestors, embodied the highest wisdom of the Kree, encompassing all science, philosophy, military, and ideology, ruling the Kree Empire; under its rule, the Kree Empire developed rapidly.
Any decision it made after calculation could not be defied by anyone in the Empire.
For example, making peace with Xandar, which had long-standing friction and small-scale wars with the Kree, and restoring peace.
This was undoubtedly the most beneficial move for the Empire; continuing the war, even if they won, the benefits gained would not compensate for the losses.
But people are not computers; they don't just calculate profits; the war, which lasted for countless ages, had made many Kree and Xandarians sworn enemies, and hatred cannot be resolved with a single word.
Ronan was among them, and as a hawk in the Empire, he absolutely disagreed with this move.
"To actively propose a peace treaty with a Planet whose strength is far inferior to the Empire's is simply a disgrace!"
How would the Universe view them?
"The Supreme Intelligence believes that the Empire's strength cannot easily wipe out Xandar, so a truce is necessary. Then let the Kree Empire become even stronger!
Strong enough to easily crush Xandar."
Ronan clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with cold ruthlessness.
He remembered a test race, originally intended for special forces, that the Empire had abandoned for unknown reasons in a remote part of the Milky Way Galaxy.
That race had developed its own civilization and power, even gaining some fame in the Milky Way Galaxy.
"If we subdue it and expand the Empire's power, that disgraceful peace treaty will no longer exist!"
...
"Hmph…"
As the cold figure approached him irresistibly, Black Bolt tried to let out another roar that would shake the Moon, but he coughed up a mouthful of blood, emitting a sound like his throat was caught.
A 'weak' sonic scream.
It didn't even ruffle Ronn's hair, who was absorbing kinetic energy to protect himself.
His face expressionless, he slowly and powerfully gripped Black Bolt's neck, declaring the battle's outcome.
"You, Black Bolt, have lost."
Black Bolt's throat could initially produce a few decent attacks, allowing him to contend and resist, but the power of each subsequent roar weakened.
He no longer expended much effort and came before Black Bolt.
Aside from his ability, Black Bolt also had a powerful physique capable of unleashing tens of thousands of tons of force, but he struggled to pry open Ronn's iron-vice-like hand, yet he couldn't move it at all.
Compared to Ronn, his strength was so weak, like an infant compared to an adult.
"We lost."
Under the defensive dome, Medusa, utilizing Lockjaw's ability, hurriedly ran into the scarred battlefield spanning hundreds of miles, looking up in panic at Ronn, who was holding Black Bolt in the sky, and pleaded tearfully.
"Please, please let go of my husband."
Crystal and Karnak's faces were ashen; looking at Ronn in the sky, only fear remained in their eyes, unable to speak.
They, who had once had boundless confidence in Black Bolt, never imagined that there could be an existence stronger than Black Bolt in the Universe.
"Inhumans, surrender to me, do not make me say it a second time."
Casually throwing Black Bolt to the ground, Ronn said coldly, his tone filled with ruthless majesty, his highly oppressive, almost tangible gaze sweeping over them, as if it could penetrate the screen and see the Inhumans in the city.
On the streets, watching the screen, the dense crowd of Inhumans all trembled in their hearts, like ants beneath a giant's feet, not daring to breathe.
"Kneel, and greet your new King!"
Audreyf drew her Star Sword, roaring like a majestic Queen, her voice echoing through Attilan.
The giant-sized Abomination also let out a deafening roar.
One, two.
Sparsely, then all, all the Inhumans uncontrollably knelt down, lowering their heads and uniting into one voice.
"Greetings, new King of the Inhumans."
