The dark, desolate universe stretched on without end, dotted with faintly twinkling stars.
A massive spaceship drifted through the boundless cosmos like some terrifying prehistoric beast.
At that moment, the ship opened its hatch and fired out a sturdy metal cable.
A sharp hook was attached to the end of it. It shot through the endless darkness and slammed into an ice sculpture.
Then the cable slowly reeled back in, and the hatch closed.
The frozen statue was quickly transported into the main control room, giving off waves of biting cold.
Through the thick ice, a tall figure could vaguely be seen, powerful and broad, deadly and dangerous.
A crowd of strange-looking aliens gathered around, tilting their heads as they inspected the ice sculpture, then began whispering among themselves.
"Hey, who's that guy in there?"
"No clue, but I heard he's some brutal big-shot demon king!"
"Tsk, tsk. That scary?"
"Heh, if he's really that strong, then how'd he end up frozen into a popsicle?"
"Exactly! I could flatten him with barely any effort! Hahaha!"
Thunk, thunk!
Suddenly, a set of heavy footsteps rang out.
The moment they heard those familiar footsteps, everyone shut their mouths at once, afraid of offending whoever was coming.
As the footsteps drew closer, that huge figure slowly stepped out of the shadows.
He had a beast-like build, with muscles bulging all over his body and four thick arms. One hand burned with flames, one held crystal, and the two lower ones were orange beast fists.
A green light glowed above his head, and sharp wings stretched from his back, thin as cicada wings. On his face was one huge frog-like eye and two tiny golden eyes, making him look vicious and menacing.
His chest was covered in frightening cracks. Both shoulders were black and green, like some kind of liquid metal, and the blue tail behind him swayed slightly.
"It's Kevin 11..." someone whispered.
Kevin 11.
"No matter where I go in the universe, no matter who I beat up, I keep hearing your name again and again..."
As he spoke, Kevin 11 raised a hand and pressed it against the ice sculpture.
Sizzle...
Scorching flames melted a huge hole in the frozen statue, revealing the figure inside.
It looked like an octopus, with tentacles hanging around its mouth and green skin. Its eyes were shut tight, as if it had been asleep for a very long time.
Looking at the sleeping squid-face, Kevin 11's eyes filled with contempt as he mocked, "Vilgax, guess you're not so impressive after all..."
Inside the ice, that figure suddenly clenched its fist, instantly shattered the frozen seal, and smashed a vicious iron punch straight into Kevin 11's jaw, sending him flying sideways.
The sight scared the other aliens so badly that they hurried back and hid in the corners, trembling.
"Looking down on people is a huge mistake! Let me teach you how the world works!"
Stepping over the shattered ice, Vilgax snorted coldly and charged straight at Kevin with a terrifyingly violent aura.
Kevin had just climbed back to his feet when he saw the giant squid rushing at him.
"You rotten squid, don't get so full of yourself!"
Kevin raised his hand and fired out a barrage of crystal spikes, sending them straight at Vilgax in a blinding storm.
But Vilgax's defense was far beyond anything Kevin had expected.
Vilgax roared, and his two arms swelled like balloons, becoming as thick as giant pythons in an instant.
With one sweeping strike, he shattered every incoming crystal spike, sending the fragments flying through the air.
"So that's all you can do." Vilgax slowly strode toward him.
Kevin 11 refused to accept it. He would not believe he could not deal with this squid-head today.
"You idiot, let me treat you to some grilled octopus!"
Kevin 11 raised his left arm and unleashed a torrent of raging fire, rolling flames surging straight toward Vilgax's face...
