"Hmm… this guy's choice wasn't wrong in itself."
Michael watched the whole process, also trying to see the problem from the Commander's perspective.
"Because of the huge disparity in intelligence, these guys are actually not worried about us ourselves, but about the forces behind us."
"As a Universe Empire capable of fighting the Kree Empire for hundreds of years, even if it's only against the Kree Empire's second or even third-tier forces, it's not just any random force that can make the Nova Empire treat it with such caution."
"What they care about is the potential presence of Asgard or the Kree Empire behind us. Whichever of these two it is, neither is something their Nova Empire is willing to easily offend."
"Especially Asgard. The Bifrost Bridge is a dual product of technology and magic. Ordinary methods simply cannot defend against the Bifrost Bridge's penetration, which could directly penetrate and destroy their supreme command headquarters. No matter how vast your army is, you'd be out of luck!"
Michael analyzed.
"Of course, this also relates to the fact that this guy, or rather these guys, have been stationed at the imperial headquarters for years, haven't frequently been to the front lines, or perhaps never at all. They've already transitioned from soldiers to politicians, and their perspective on problems is more in line with that of a politician."
"If their Commander were a general who had just returned from the battlefield, or a pure soldier, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to leisurely sip tea here as we are now."
Michael took a sip of the clear tea he had materialized, moistening his throat.
"Of course, if the Supreme Commander were Hulk, this space would probably already be filled with countless fireworks."
Michael glanced at Hulk, saying with a smile.
"Haha!"
Samuel Sterns drank the coffee freshly ground by a mechanical assistant nearby, as if seeing through the void, picturing what Hulk would be like as the Supreme Commander of the space security force. "You're right, it would be truly interesting if Hulk became the Supreme Commander."
"You bunch of bad guys, Hulk isn't playing with you!"
Hulk rolled his eyes wildly, strongly disagreeing with Michael and Samuel Sterns' assessment! Unfortunately, Hulk couldn't do anything about either of them.
One he couldn't defeat. Michael's current strength, even with Hulk's four-stage transformation, would be a struggle to withstand, let alone in a real fight where Michael wouldn't give him time to accumulate rage and slowly grow stronger.
Just like Sunset Purple Sweet Potato, while your rage hasn't gathered, it's… a relentless beating, directly beating you until you doubt life itself, until you no longer even have the thought of transforming. The other he could defeat, but couldn't hit! Samuel Sterns, although injected with the Hulk serum, is not a combatant himself, but serves as an extremely important top Scientist in Michael's faction. Bruce Banner can no longer compare to the current Dr. Blue! Michael would absolutely not allow Hulk to hit Dr. Blue! Of course, if Samuel Sterns were to focus his mind on restraining Hulk, with his current intelligence five hundred times that of an ordinary person, Hulk would probably only be able to be his little brother! However, looking at Emil Blonsky, who hadn't transformed into Abomination, beside him in the vast Universe, there were still Hulk's kindred spirits!
"Sir, a Type 1 fleet flying from the front of the Dream has sent a boarding request. Should we allow it?"
Just as Michael and Samuel Sterns were chatting, White's voice rang out.
"Of course."
Michael raised an eyebrow. "But remember to guide them to board from the living quarters first, and also, hide all those… overly powerful weapons!"
Since they said they were here to travel to Xandar, they couldn't possibly let people directly board the weapon storage area, could they? Those… huge kinetic weapons and energy weapons that could be recognized at a glance, especially since there was also a 'Drill-Star Splitting Bomb' in the weapon storage area that Michael had specially materialized, which had a similar effect to a planet-destroying cannon. If someone saw this and misunderstood, how bad would that be? After all, if this thing were to fall from space and drill into the interior of Xandar, the consequences…
"Understood, sir!"
After White finished speaking, he immediately concealed himself to guide the Nova Empire's outer space security force's top action team to dock and board…
"Greetings, strong ones from Earth!"
Upon seeing Michael and the other three for the first time, the Second Commander of the Nova Empire's Xandar Space Security Force led his team and saluted them solemnly, showing respect for Michael and the others.
However, from boarding to being guided to meet Michael, this… Second Commander hadn't seen a single person along the way. All he saw were robots, and only robots, the whole journey, and he was completely bewildered.
And after seeing Michael and the other three, the Second Commander was even more speechless. Could it be that there were really only these four people in this super Universe battleship? Were they really here for tourism? Thinking back to the previous speculations he and the Supreme Commander had, it was all like a comedy.
Just as the Second Commander thought, through the real-time footage from the action team, the Supreme Commander and others of the Nova Empire's Xandar Space Security Force also began to have a hint of self-doubt.
However, upon seeing Michael and his group of four, these people quickly recovered.
That's what I mean! If it were just Earth, how could it possibly manufacture such a massive Universe battleship! Look at the two green and brown hulking figures in their team. Abomination's transformation is completely unlike the Earthlings recorded in the data!
"Hello!"
Since there were only four people, and Michael was too lazy to bother with all the… elaborate formalities, Michael directly took the initiative. "Welcome to my Dream travel spaceship."
These words not only made the security force members twitch their faces, but even Hulk and Abomination, who heard White's translation, couldn't hold back. The two big guys were trying hard to suppress it, but their bodies were shaking with suppressed laughter, which made the security force members' foreheads wrinkle with black lines.
"Hiss… Your Xandarian is truly authentic."
The Second Commander took a deep breath and bowed slightly. "I haven't had the pleasure of asking your name. May I ask what your purpose is for coming to Xandar?"
"Haha, we don't have so many reservations. My name is Michael, just call me by my name."
Michael laughed heartily. "As for the purpose, besides… traveling to Xandar, if possible, we naturally also have some ideas for cooperation with the Nova Empire."
Indeed! Everyone in the entire security force immediately tensed up.
