The wind howled, and the extremely cold white frost permeated every corner of the sealed hall, freezing even the walls around into ice.
In the center of the hall, Kyle had completely transformed into a human ice sculpture, trapped in the pale blue solid ice, remaining motionless as if life had ceased to exist within him.
"I will use your head and blood as a sacrifice to appease the spirits of the fallen Kree."
Ronan's deep blue face revealed a sinister and violent expression as he held the Universal Hammer emitting cold air high above, once again aiming it at Kyle's ice sculpture.
But before he could strike, the ice sculpture trembled slightly.
"You... haven't entered a false death state?" Ronan widened his eyes in astonishment as he saw this scene. However, Kyle frozen in the solid ice suddenly rotated his fractured golden pupils and stared straight at him as a strange arc formed at the corner of his mouth.
"Oh no!" Ronan panicked inwardly, ignoring everything else as he fiercely swung the Universal Hammer downward. The high-tech Warhammer emitted a buzzing sound, releasing shockwave pulses, and amplifying buffs on the surface of the hammer.
This one strike would collapse even a building as sturdy as Iron Man!
Just as the Universal Hammer was about to strike Kyle's head, the solid ice suddenly burst open from within. From the countless cracks in the ice, a golden-hot tide of flames surged out.
*Boom!*
The hall was completely filled with steam. In an instant, what was a frozen area below zero degrees turned into a high-temperature melting zone of over a thousand degrees Celsius.
Ice and fire coexisted for a moment.
The frost melted into the water at a visible speed, which then evaporated into vapor, gradually revealing the figures of the two men within the dissipating steam.
The Universal Hammer was once again blocked by the flames enveloping Kyle. The shockwave pulses passed through his body and blasted into the doors of the hall twenty meters away, causing the doors to tremble and burst open with several huge cracks.
"A fine weapon," Kyle remarked calmly after withstanding the shockwave pulses. He felt his blood boiling, and he looked at Ronan serenely. Rings of golden flames rose from his body, engulfing his entire surface, even igniting his silver hair at this moment.
Kyle had completely transformed into a Flaming Person.
"This power... it's of the Asgardians! You're not an ordinary human from Earth!" Ronan erupted in a roar, gripping the scepter tightly. He exerted all his strength to press the Universal Hammer downward, but instead, Kyle, who took a step forward, pushed him backward, leaving two deep marks in the ground.
The thousands of degrees of flames burned the Universal Hammer, but the special material it was made of naturally wouldn't melt. The heatwave, however, overwhelmed the previous cold, transferring along the scepter handle.
*Hiss...*
Smoke rose from Ronan's hand as he grabbed the Universal Hammer. He endured the high temperature, unwilling to let go of his weapon. Kyle pressed against the Universal Hammer, shifting Ronan several meters backward.
"I am indeed human, but... I am a human who has transcended the Asgardians." Kyle smiled, and with a flick of his wrist, a pillar of flames erupted from his left hand pressed against the Universal Hammer, sending Ronan flying along with the hammer.
*Thud!*
Ronan's body slammed heavily into the Kree throne. The ancient throne, with a certain age, shattered into pieces. Despite his burnt hand, Ronan still clenched the Universal Hammer tightly, struggling to support his body among the rubble.
With a retching sound, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Is this the end?"
Kyle's body was engulfed in golden divine flames as he calmly watched the once-great extraterrestrial emperor, who now lay in a miserable state on the ground, coughing up blood.
Don't be fooled by Ronan's apparent weakness; in fact, his physical strength and power were second only to the Asgardians, and his cold aura even reached the level of the Frost Giants' Divine Weapon. The shockwave pulses emitted by the Universal Hammer could shatter Interstellar warships.
Unfortunately, he encountered Kyle, who possessed the power of Asgardians and had fully awakened his fire-based divine power. It was a heavy blow for Ronan, who was accustomed to mercilessly slaughtering the weak, to suddenly face a truly powerful opponent.
"Congratulations on pushing me this far..." Ronan struggled to get up from the ground, bloodstains still lingering at the corners of his mouth. He grinned coldly, "Do you know what this place is?"
"Isn't it your palace, the hall of assembly, the place where you sacrifice the heads of your enemies?" Kyle shrugged nonchalantly. "Oh, by the way, starting tomorrow, this will be your exclusive tomb."
Ronan stood upright, slamming the Universal Hammer onto the floor, and said in a cold voice, "This place used to be the pinnacle of the Kree Empire where the Supreme Intelligence existed, but over a decade ago, I killed her with my own hands, seizing complete control of the Kree Empire."
The pinnacle of the Kree Empire? Supreme Intelligence?
Kyle's mind stirred as he thought of this. Such controllers like Ronan didn't rank among the highest-dimensional lifeforms in the universe.
In the Marvel universe, there were some high-dimensional lifeforms who had reached the pinnacle of evolution, they were powerful and formidable. As far as he knew, there was the Grandmaster, Dormammu, the All-Father Odin, Star-Lord's father, Thanos, and beings like the Supreme Intelligence.
Not to mention the Observers and such who didn't interfere in worldly affairs.
Although Kyle wielded extraordinary powers, he hadn't yet mastered the ability to deal with, let alone kill, high-dimensional lifeforms. Now, hearing Ronan claim to have killed the Supreme Intelligence was a bit unbelievable to him.
"You must be very curious about how I killed the Supreme Intelligence."
Ronan seemed to sense Kyle's curiosity and began to smile with a cold expression on his face. He then held the Universal Hammer with both hands, placing it horizontally across his chest, and said with inexplicable confidence, "This Universal Weapon in my hand is the Kree Empire's individual Divine Weapon, called the Omni-Weapon. Created by the highest technology of the Kree Empire, it can manipulate cosmic energy, disassemble, reassemble, and reshape matter according to my will, as well as emit Shockwaves, absorb energy, create force fields, and so on."
"So, you used this war hammer to kill the Supreme Intelligence?" Kyle suddenly became interested, staring at the hammer in Ronan's hand. Every civilized race had one or two world-destroying individual Divine Weapons.
For example, Thanos's Infinite Gauntlet, Thor's Stormbreaker, the Eternal Flame of the Fire Giants...
"I didn't kill her, I banished her."
As soon as Ronan finished speaking, he suddenly pushed the Cosmi-Rod forward, saying coldly, "Human Kyle, you are guilty of a serious crime! In the name of the leader of the Kree Empire, I sentence you to eternal exile!"
The Cosmi-Rod blinked with a white light ring, and a mysterious and powerful force descended, rushing towards Kyle on the field.
Kyle's heart jumped, his body's hair stood on end, and a strong sense of imminent danger overwhelmed him. He instinctively wanted to activate the fusion energy and escape the hall.
But he was ultimately a step too slow.
The moment the mysterious force enveloped Kyle, he was pulled into a narrow space crack, disappearing from the hall. All that remained was a rune-like imprint on the ground.
"Interdimensional - Teleportation!"
Ronan looked at the rune imprint and murmured, "Kyle. You shall be forever lost and exiled in the void of space."
