Chapter 130: The Final Battle (Part 2)
Supernova explosions do not distinguish between friend and foe. If Ragna were to be held back by the Supreme Star God, expending too much energy, he might not be able to withstand the full force of the explosion.
But the Supreme Star God cannot hold Ragna back!
Wielding the Sun Scepter, Ragna engaged in a strategic retreat, countering every onslaught while continuously absorbing solar energy. The gamma-ray burst raged on, yet Ragna 's mastery of stellar forces forged an impenetrable barrier before him. The Supreme Star God's energy bombardments clashed against this radiant shield, while the Supreme Intelligence's desperate psionic assault proved futile against Ragna 's fortified mind.
After all, Ragna had spent considerable time on Earth, where he had undergone profound spiritual evolution. His soul had been tempered beyond normal comprehension. The Supreme Intelligence, even merged with Hala, could only barely rival the might of a Fourth-Tier Cosmic Entity, and that was the full potential of the Supreme Star God—a fusion of Kree technological supremacy, planetary-scale armaments, and the Supreme Intelligence's computational prowess.
Even so, its psionic force alone was insufficient to shake Ragna 's will.
As Ragna rapidly withdrew, Hala's sun began its catastrophic expansion, its outer shell swelling like a massive red sphere, consuming everything in its wake. But unlike a balloon, its inflation meant absolute annihilation—a supernova of apocalyptic magnitude!
The Supreme Star God, colossal in scale, lacked the agility to evade destruction. And yet, even in the face of impending doom, it launched one final psionic attack, its telepathic voice echoing across the cosmos:
"The Supreme Intelligence will perish, but the Kree Empire shall never fall!
All for Kree!"
This final proclamation rippled across the stars, reaching every Kree fleet still engaged in battle. Across the universe, Kree warships rescuing civilians and fleets mobilizing against Angel Star halted their missions. The command was clear:
Total evacuation at all costs!
The Kree Empire sought refuge at the galaxy's fringes, hoping for a rebirth.
But for Hala itself, there would be no resurrection.
The supernova detonated.
In a single, cataclysmic moment, the homeworld of the Kree ceased to exist—obliterated along with its sun in an unfathomable burst of energy. The shockwave rippled outward, consuming all remnants of the Supreme Star God.
Ragna , standing at the edge of the explosion, remained unharmed. He cast a final glance at what was once Hala—now nothing but cosmic dust—and swiftly reestablished contact with Hexi.
The latest reports from the Angel Legion were alarming.
Egg's assimilation of tens of thousands of life-bearing planets had reached 50%.
A critical threshold.
Understanding the risk, Ragna immediately relayed his orders. Without hesitation, Hexi activated the bombs planted near the core of Ego the Living Planet.
At that moment, Ego and Star-Lord exchanged a glance.
The Cosmic Assimilation halted.
But in its wake, countless Life Light tendrils turned into weapons, launching a devastating counterattack against Hexi. Simultaneously, dense layers of biomorphic defense membranes began forming around Ego's brain, shielding him.
Ego and Star-Lord had anticipated this move.
After years of cultivating godlike power, Star-Lord had chosen to stand with Ego. He had ascended beyond mortality.
The ashes of his mother lay forgotten in time, but Star-Lord endured—transcendent, eternal.
Yet Ragna and Hexi had planned for this moment as well.
The Sovereign Empire's super-battery technology was a tightly guarded secret, almost impossible to replicate. But Ragna had never lacked resources.
Over time, he had discreetly acquired finished super-batteries through intergalactic black markets. These devices, planted deep within Ego's core, detonated.
Combined with Hexi's Reality Gem, the Life Light's dominion over Ego was shattered.
The Living Planet began to collapse.
Yet, as Hexi watched Ego's disintegration, she felt a lingering unease.
Something was wrong.
Ego had been prepared for this.
Far across the cosmos, two seemingly unknown planets, unnoticed by most, had already been engulfed in Life Light.
As Ego's grand assimilation halted, these two planets awakened.
Their surfaces reshaped. Their landscapes morphed into colossal, grinning visages—Ego and Star-Lord reborn.
It was evident now—Ego had a backup plan.
Hexi swiftly relayed her suspicions to Ragna , but there was no time to verify whether Ego was truly dead.
A more pressing matter demanded attention—the Holy Kaisha's distress call from the Shi'ar homeworld!
"Estimates suggest that in 36 hours, our Angel and Sentry Legions will achieve planetary annihilation," Holy Kaisha reported via the psychic network.
"However, projections indicate complete annihilation of the Sentry Legion, an 85% mortality rate for Angels below King Rank, and a possible loss of a King-Rank Angel."
Ragna frowned.
Given the combined might of the Angel Legion, the Sentry Legion, and four King-Rank Angels wielding Infinite Gems, the Shi'ar should not have been able to inflict such severe casualties.
What hidden trump card lay within the Shi'ar Empire?
Ragna pondered, but did not hesitate.
If four King-Rank Angels were insufficient, then he and Hexi would join the fray.
Six Supreme Combatants would end the Shi'ar once and for all.
He immediately instructed Kaisha to activate the Space Gem, teleporting himself and Hexi toward the Shi'ar frontlines.
As the azure glow of teleportation energy began to flicker, Hela's voice cut through the ether.
The vast holographic display flickered to life, revealing Hela hacking through a Sovereign battleship with Necroswords.
"Need assistance?" Ragna asked.
Hela didn't even pause as she obliterated a fleet of golden Sovereign drones with Death Beams.
"No."
With a smirk, she sneered, "The so-called 'perfect race' of the Sovereign? Pathetic.
Their drones are well-crafted, sure.
But compared to Asgard's Eternal Army—
Resurrected endlessly by the Eternal Flame—
They are nothing."
As she spoke, a Sovereign suicide drone detonated, incinerating a swath of Asgardian warriors.
Yet moments later, the flames of Muspelheim flickered to life.
The shattered corpses reassembled.
Fearless and eternal, the undead Asgardian warriors surged forward, laying waste to the Sovereign forces.
The self-proclaimed "perfect beings" of the Sovereign Empire were being butchered by the undying army of Asgard.
Ragna offered Hela one last glance.
"Call if you need reinforcements."
Then, as the blue light of teleportation engulfed him, he turned his gaze forward—
Toward the Shi'ar Warzone—the most brutal battlefield in the universe.
