Hala — The Kree Homeworld
A massive spatial black hole tore open in the sky above!
A violent repulsive force hurled Renjie and Captain Marvel out of the wormhole!
Just as the two were about to slam into the planet's surface—
Renjie turned his body with impeccable gentlemanly instinct, placing his armored back beneath them both to absorb the impact!
A thunderous shockwave rippled outward.
The entire planet was awakened.
External invasion detected!
...
It would be hard for anyone to believe—
That a disaster rivaling a meteor impact had been caused by just two humans.
At the center of the smoking crater, temperatures soared beyond a thousand degrees.
Molten lava flowed past their bodies like running water, yet failed to inflict even the slightest burn.
Renjie lay spread-eagled at the bottom of the crater.
The upper half of his body was submerged in boiling magma.
Captain Marvel sat astride his waist, wearing a captivating smile—
The hostility from their first meeting was completely gone.
She lifted her hand gracefully, brushing aside her flowing, radiant golden hair as it danced in the wind.
The way she looked at Renjie now carried something different.
Admiration.
And genuine praise.
This big boy from Earth…
Was astonishingly brave.
He had absorbed nearly all of the impact himself.
More than 90% of his external armor had been completely destroyed!
Clearly
She was the one who had spent years roaming the cosmos,
The most powerful superhero among the stars.
She should have been the one protecting Renjie.
For as long as she could remember—
She had upheld cosmic order, shielded the weak, and defended justice.
Yet this feeling…
Of being protected by someone else—
She was experiencing it for the very first time since gaining her powers.
"Renjie… wake up…"
Captain Marvel called softly.
They had landed on a very dangerous planet—
This was no time to be unconscious.
She frowned, raised her hand, and tore away Renjie's already-ruined helmet.
She no longer called him "kid."
Because knowing how to protect others—
Was proof of maturity.
A handsome face was revealed beneath the shattered armor.
Her heartbeat quickened.
Too young.
Far younger than she had imagined.
Renjie coughed heavily, the choking stench of smoke making him uncomfortable.
Despite the catastrophic damage to his armor—
He was completely uninjured.
After being tempered by the energy of the [Space Stone],
His body had transcended mortality—
Possessing a steel-like physique comparable to Superman himself.
"Where… are we…?"
Renjie sat up, patting Captain Marvel's waist to signal her to move aside.
"Welcome to… Hala."
Captain Marvel smiled faintly.
The stench of sin that permeated this world—
She would never forget it.
"Hala?"
Renjie rose from the ruins as fragments of his shattered armor peeled away piece by piece.
The remaining intact components liquefied into nanometal, flowing over his body.
They reassembled into a black-and-white—
[Nano Combat Suit] nearly identical to Captain Marvel's own.
"We've been locked onto."
"Good luck with the next battle."
As Captain Marvel finished speaking, brilliant flames ignited within her eyes.
Her powerfully sculpted, alluring figure streaked upward in a blaze of radiant light, charging straight toward the battlefield above!
This woman—
Was deliberately drawing enemy fire to reduce Renjie's burden!
While the two were talking—
Kree warships had already arrived overhead!
The battle had begun.
The moment Captain Marvel burst out of the smoke and ascended into the sky—
The Kree ships instantly identified her.
Kree traitor!
Every warship redirected its weapons at once!
Emerald-green energy cannons fired like a dense barrage toward Captain Marvel!
But this level of firepower was nowhere near enough to frighten her.
Over the years, she had endured countless wars across the universe.
This
Was merely a warm-up.
She spun elegantly through the barrage like a golden koi swimming upstream.
A confident smile curved her lips.
Her left fist shot forward, releasing a brilliant energy blast that obliterated a Kree warship in a single strike!
At that moment
Six blue-and-white energy blades burst forth from the smoke below!
Spinning at terrifying speed, the massive blades sliced through the battlefield—
Cutting Kree warships cleanly in half!
One after another, the severed ships exploded into dazzling fireworks in midair.
The spectacle was so overwhelming—
Even Captain Marvel stared in shock.
Destructo Disc!
Renjie had compressed [Spatial Energy] to its absolute limit—
Executing No. 18's signature technique!
Though it was his first time—
He wielded [Spatial Energy] as effortlessly as moving his own limbs.
And more importantly
With combat support from [Artificial Intelligence — Android 21],
Enemy coordinates were pinpointed with flawless precision.
For Renjie
This battle felt like playing a game.
It was time—
To show real skill.
Renjie crouched low, placing his loosely clenched fist against the ground.
Invisible shockwaves rippled outward from beneath his hand.
Pebbles trembled violently, then lifted into the air.
Blazing magma and massive clouds of dust engulfed Renjie.
The ground quaked violently—
Like the final warning before a rocket launch.
Renjie drove power through his legs.
His massive, muscular body blasted skyward from the surface—
Trailing a deafening sonic boom!
Faster.
Stronger.
More violent—
Even than Captain Marvel.
[Spatial Energy] overflowed from his body, enveloping him completely.
Under Captain Marvel's astonished gaze—
Renjie assumed the classic Superman flight pose,
Smashing straight through a Kree warship head-on!
Fragments rained down amid blazing fire.
That man hovered beneath the heavens—
Like the strongest god descending upon the mortal world.
His beautiful eyes overflowed with blue [Spatial Energy].
Two dreamlike blue beams erupted from Renjie's eyes, shooting toward the incoming Kree assault fleet!
This move resembled Superman's heat vision—
But far more terrifying.
Wherever the beams passed—
Kree warships, along with the surrounding space itself, disintegrated and collapsed!
Spatial Annihilation!
More than a dozen warships were erased instantly.
In the blink of an eye.
The light in Renjie's eyes slowly faded.
Yet the space he had destroyed was repairing itself at a glacial pace.
He hovered silently in the sky—
And not a single Kree dared fire another shot.
His power…
Had completely surpassed Kree comprehension.
The gap between them existed on an entirely different dimensional level.
Even Captain Marvel stared at Renjie in disbelief.
The power he had just displayed—
Surpassed even her Binary Form.
She could feel it.
This Earth man named Renjie—
Was still hiding an even greater trump card.
