"This is about right."
Kyle looked at the Supreme Intelligence in the form of the new Starlet, choosing not to take action. He raised an eyebrow and stared at her in surprise. "Wait a minute, I think I've seen her before..."
"You're probably referring to the leader of the Nova Corps, right?"
Supreme Intelligence showed no surprise at all. She touched her fair skin and brushed the silver bangs hanging from her ears, smiling gently. "She's a charismatic and influential woman, a worthy adversary to be respected. I used to often appear in her likeness."
"Is that so? The Nova Corps leader I've seen looked like she aged more than ten years compared to your current appearance." Kyle's expression remained blank as he made a cold jest.
Supreme Intelligence's face stiffened slightly, and after a moment of silence, she sighed bitterly. "So, it's like this. Has it been over ten years in the outside universe?"
"I understand now," Kyle realized. "You're the former leader of the Kree civilization, the Supreme Intelligence rumored to have been killed by Ronan."
"Ronan, Ronan!" The mention of this name seemed to greatly disturb Supreme Intelligence, her face instantly turning ugly. Clenching her delicate fists tightly, she gritted her teeth in frustration. "That scoundrel, as a criminal of the Kree Empire, dared to establish a force to resist the orthodox officials and used the Kree Divine Weapon to send me to this damned place!"
Kyle shrugged nonchalantly, adding, "Clearly, he succeeded. After claiming to have killed you, Ronan became the sole ruler of the Kree Empire civilization."
"I was too careless back then, failing to detect the internal conflicts within the Kree Empire in time." Supreme Intelligence sighed helplessly, looking up at Kyle with admiration. "And who are you? I noticed earlier that your body possesses a strange and powerful energy, much like a human woman I knew over twenty years ago when I served as ruler of the Kree Empire."
"A human woman? With similar fusion energy?" Kyle became intrigued and asked, "You can just call me Kyle. Can you tell me more about that woman?"
"So your name is Kyle, it doesn't matter," Supreme Intelligence said gently. "Her name is Carol Danvers, an Air Force pilot from Earth. She accidentally gained a mysterious power after being hit by the energy tide from a shattered light-speed engine. The similarity between that power and the one you use is as high as ninety percent— we Kree originally intended to control her and use that power for ourselves, but unfortunately, we failed in the end."
"Wait, you're not from Earth too, are you?" Supreme Intelligence stared at Kyle directly, asking inexplicably.
"Congratulations, you got it right." Kyle squinted his eyes. It was unexpected to encounter another human who had controlled fusion energy long before him.
Wasn't this too coincidental?
Kyle silently pondered the connections. Fusion energy couldn't have appeared out of thin air. Assuming there was a woman in the past who gained a power similar to his own on Earth, it meant that there was a unique trigger on Earth.
Supreme Intelligence sighed softly, "Earth is truly a place full of wonders and miracles; humans are indeed a race that constantly surprises."
"It's nothing special," Kyle modestly replied, stroking his chin and suggesting, "Since we have a common enemy— Ronan, why don't we cooperate and find a way to leave this place together?"
"Leave?" Supreme Intelligence was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head. "Since we've entered here, there's no hope of leaving. Otherwise, I would have returned to the original universe dimension long ago."
Undeterred, Kyle continued, "What exactly is this place?"
Supreme Intelligence answered earnestly, "As you can see, there's no time and space here, not even any additional matter. It's just a dimensional construct of pure energy— a dimension that hasn't formed a complete and fertile environment for life. Such dimensions are sandwiched in countless rifts in time and space, a place that doesn't actually exist, and I have no idea how that guy Ronan found it."
Kyle looked at her in surprise and asked with a puzzled expression on his face. "But you're the Supreme Intelligence, the pinnacle of conscious lifeforms. Even you can't escape this dimensional area?"
"I've just lived for a long time, with a strong enough mind to control the consciousness of any lifeform and enough mental power to traverse the universe. Besides that, I'm not much stronger than you with your extraordinary physique."
Supreme Intelligence's tone was full of helplessness, then she bluntly said, "Let me tell you the truth. There are only two ways to leave this unknown dimension."
"Ok, tell me," Kyle nodded.
Supreme Intelligence extended a finger, smiling enticingly. "The first method is to abandon your original body and merge your soul and consciousness with the pure energy here. Over time, you will become the master of this place, transcending dimensional boundaries and gaining powerful abilities to penetrate into other dimensional realms."
"Don't play games with me. If there were no drawbacks, I'm sure you would have done it yourself long ago," Kyle scoffed at this idea. As soon as she mentioned the first method, Dormammu's name instantly came to his mind.
"There's always a trade-off," Supreme Intelligence continued. "After gaining the power of this dimension, your soul and consciousness will assimilate with this dimension. Although you can penetrate into other dimensional realms, you will never fully leave this dimension for the rest of your life. Because this dimension will become your true self."
"I knew it," Kyle sneered repeatedly. He knew about Dormammu, assimilating with the Dark Dimension, becoming invincible, but accompanied by endless loneliness and savagery.
It's like being given a huge cage, where you'll live alone forever.
"The second method, to put it simply, is simple, but in reality, it's very difficult."
Supreme Intelligence spoke softly, "Using Interstellar teleportation abilities. Dimensions have no barriers to break, but they can serve as a stepping stone to directly jump back to the original universe dimension. If it were me in the past, relying on the Kree Divine Weapon, I could easily do this. But now, without any tools, despite my strong mental power, I am helpless."
After listening, Kyle also felt helpless. "Teleportation abilities, circling around, and ending up back here?"
Supreme Intelligence lacked the Kree Divine Weapon, and Kyle lacked a Sorcerer's Ring. Without the ring to open the mirror dimension, without the Divine Weapon to activate the Bifrost, they were both unable to perform teleportation.
"In this dimension, it's just you and me. From now on, you'll be my neighbor. I'll give you this planet formed of pure energy, and I'll live on the planet next door," Supreme Intelligence said goodbye, waving her hand and flying towards a slightly larger planet.
"Master, what should we do now?" Vis transformed into a wristwatch and spoke up.
"What else can we do? Let's settle down first, and I'll think of a solution later."
Kyle looked at the barren energy planet and then glanced at the nearby small asteroid, feeling somewhat incredulous.
Just a couple of hours ago, he was fighting against the villain Ronan, and now, he was unexpectedly considering spending the rest of his life in an unknown dimension with a consciousness being?
