"I didn't expect it to be like this. Father Emperor must have gone through a lot."
Silver Surfer couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, then asked, "What's the situation now? Why is the Kree Empire attacking Zela Star?"
"Because of the war between the Kree Empire and the Nova Empire!"
Ryder XX's face immediately showed an angry expression: "The war between the Kree Empire and the Nova Empire is currently in a white-hot stage, and it's impossible to determine a winner in a short time.
And our Zela Star is located at the junction of the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Milky Way Galaxy.
So the Kree Empire forced us to join them, send troops to help them attack the Nova Empire, and at the same time use Zela Star as a temporary rest Planet for the Kree Empire's fleet."
"Are they trying to use our Zela Star as cannon fodder?"
Silver Surfer immediately understood.
If they really agreed, Zela Star's fleet would surely suffer heavy casualties. Without a fleet to defend itself, Zela Star wouldn't just be used as a temporary rest Planet for the fleet; it would likely become a war slave Planet.
"Yes, there were a few Planets that were also caught between the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Milky Way Galaxy, and now most of them are basically in name only, with not many people left alive."
Ryder XX's beard bristled with anger.
Silver Surfer turned to look at Adam:
"Adam, what do you think I should do now to stop the Kree Empire's conspiracy?"
He wanted to directly blow up the enemy's warships, but he was afraid, as Adam said, of completely offending the Kree Empire and bringing greater trouble to Zela Star.
Adam thought for a moment, then smiled and said:
"It's actually very simple. You don't need to take action. Just go to their main ship and tell their general that Zela Star is the Planet that your Master Galactus has taken a fancy to, and they are not allowed to enter.
As long as they recognize you, they will definitely retreat voluntarily and won't come looking for trouble again."
The fact that Galactus died on Earth is unknown to anyone else in the Universe except the Earthling and the Celestials.
And beings of the Celestials' level would not have any communication with the Kree Empire, let alone leak the news to the Kree Empire.
With the example of Galactus devouring the Skrull Empire's capital, if the Kree Empire knew that Zela Star was favored by Galactus, it would naturally not dare to make any further moves.
Now the Kree Empire is at war with the Nova Empire. If they were to offend a being of Galactus's level at this time, they would likely face the same fate as the Skrull Empire.
For a small Zela Star, although it is a very good strategic Planet, it is certainly not worth it.
As long as there is no war and no casualties, there will be no hatred between the two countries. The Kree Empire's Supreme Intelligence is not a fool; he is the smartest life computer and knows how to weigh the pros and cons.
"If they don't believe you, you can show off your strength a little, but it's best not to kill anyone. You can blow up some of the meteors outside to scare them."
"Okay, I understand. You wait for me here. I'll be right back."
Silver Surfer felt that Adam's words made a lot of sense, so he directly rode his surfboard through the main ship and rushed towards the Kree Empire's warships.
Seeing Silver Surfer disappear, a glint flashed in Ryder XX's eyes, then he turned to look at Adam and smiled:
"What is this gentleman's name?"
An old emperor who had reigned for over two hundred years was certainly not a fool. The moment he saw Silver Surfer, he knew that Zela Star's powerful ally had arrived, and there was hope for a turnaround.
Originally, facing the Kree Empire's invasion, he was naturally unwilling to submit, which is why he deliberately put on this show, to see if he could force the Kree Empire's fleet to retreat.
To make the Kree Empire understand that even if they could take Zela Star, they would have to pay a considerable price, thereby forcing them to give up.
However, the Kree Empire was not foolish either. They clearly didn't fall for his trick and knew that he wouldn't go down with them.
In fact, it was true. He couldn't go down with them like that, because Zela Star certainly couldn't defeat the Kree Empire, and the final outcome might be even worse than those Planets with strategic locations similar to Zela Star.
Therefore, if Silver Surfer hadn't appeared, he would have definitely bowed his head. At least then, their royal family members could still go to the Kree Empire's capital and live a decent life.
But now it was different. He also knew about the swallowing of the Skrull Empire's capital and knew Silver Surfer's strength. As long as Silver Surfer was willing to help, Zela could still be independent and free.
In fact, the Kree Empire also knew that Silver Surfer came from Zela Star, which is why they hadn't attacked Zela Star before.
It was only later that a Kree Empire spy obtained intelligence on Zela Star, which was that Silver Surfer had lost his memory and emotions after being transformed by Galactus.
Because after the transformation, the first thing Silver Surfer said was that Zela Star met the consumption standards and could be consumed.
Without any scruples about Silver Surfer and Galactus, the Kree Empire then sent a fleet over.
Now that Silver Surfer had regained his memory, as long as his emotions were stirred, he would definitely help.
Therefore, half of his emotions just now were put on for Silver Surfer, his old ancestor, and the effect was very good.
But now, he was very curious about the person who was with his old ancestor. Being with the old ancestor, and the old ancestor valuing this person's opinion so much, indicated that this person's identity was certainly not simple.
"You can call me Adam. I am Nord's friend."
Adam's Legilimency Spell had been active the whole time, and he was well aware of Ryder XX's little thoughts, but he didn't mind, so he smiled politely.
Ryder XX's thoughts seemed normal to him and there was nothing wrong with them. An old emperor of such an age would be unreasonable if he were a hot-blooded young fool.
But it didn't matter. Regardless of Bloodline ties, Ryder XX needed Silver Surfer's power to protect the Planet, so he would definitely treat them as Gods.
"Since you are the old ancestor's friend, how can I call you by your given name?
How about this, I will respectfully call you Old Ancestor Adam!"
Ryder XX said respectfully.
He still couldn't fathom Adam's background, preferring to humble himself and be respectful rather than offend Adam. It was just a title, what was the big deal?
"Whatever makes you happy."
Adam's mouth twitched at the words.
"Your Majesty, the Kree fleet has completely withdrawn!"
Just then, a surprised report came from the control room, and a holographic image was projected in the control room hall.
In the image, Silver Surfer flew out from the Kree fleet, raised his hand with cosmic energy, and immediately blew up a meteor larger than the Kree main ship. The Kree fleet immediately turned around and quickly retreated completely.
Seeing this image, all the Zela Star people present, including Ryder XX, erupted in excited cheers.
