"We've got a serious situation on our hands, folks," the general in military gear stated, his tone measured but clearly concerned.
"It looks like the number of Angels in the Holy Sun Palace is on the rise, and they're getting stronger," another voice added, pointing out the link between belief and the Angels' newfound power.
"Their strength seems to be fueled by faith," chimed in a third voice, highlighting the potent energy that belief provides.
"As they get stronger, the risk grows, and they're picking up speed," the general continued, outlining the escalating problem. "If things keep going this way, they could surpass the Kree Empire's might in just a millennium!"
"And they've got tech like the Bifrost, making their moves quick and hard to track. This will only make them spread faster, and we won't be able to stop their influence across galaxies," he finished, urgency creeping into his words.
"Will they ever be satisfied with how much they've expanded, or will they keep going?" the general questioned, his demeanor composed but determined.
"Agreed, agreed, indeed!" echoed the Supreme Intelligence, showing that they understood the seriousness of the situation.
"The Kree Empire's getting stronger too," added a scientist, acknowledging their own empire's growth. "But we're struggling to match their long-range capabilities. And they're good at brainwashing too, with many of our spies getting caught up in their influence."
"Agreed, agreed, indeed!" echoed the concerns of the scientist, with others showing they felt the same.
"We need to beef up our long-range abilities and take control of our expanding territories!" the general emphasized, stressing the need for strategic improvements.
"Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely," echoed the chorus, stressing the urgency.
"As we plan, let's think about Asgard's role in getting advanced technology," suggested a member of the Supreme Intelligence, seeing the potential advantage in such progress.
"Agreed, but we should be cautious. Recent reports show Asgard's recovery is slow, and Odin's age adds another layer of complexity," warned another, urging caution.
"Agreed. While we need to be careful, there might be room for collaboration. Asgard might be interested in the Angel group and their use of faith energy," hinted another voice, suggesting potential areas for negotiation.
"Got it, got it. Let's work together on this!"
"Then, bring back all pursuing fleets, gather our main forces, and once we secure the technology, resume the chase and eliminate the threat!"
"Got it, got it, got it, got it!"
With most proposals approved, the Supreme Conference concluded, but the Kree Empire remained on high alert!
.....
Two months flew by quickly.
With the Kree Empire fleet withdrawing from the Andromeda system, Caesar's control over the region strengthened.
They now dominated most intergalactic jump points, ever watchful for a large-scale invasion by the Kree Empire.
At Surya, Caesar meticulously inspected the ranks of the Angel's Second Legion, which weren't yet at full strength.
The commander, Azrael, appointed by Caesar, held the title Angel of Original Sin.
She constantly vied with Kabriel for Caesar's attention, striving to outshine her and gain more recognition in his eyes.
However, despite her relentless efforts, she often found herself falling short, which left her feeling defeated. In moments of distress, she would turn to Caesar, seeking solace and encouragement.
Caesar, while sympathetic, struggled to find the right words to comfort her.
Suddenly, Caesar's expression turned serious as he stared into the abyss, where powerful spatial energies were pulsating.
The elite fleet of the Kree Empire, accompanied by all members of the Interstellar team, bypassed the galaxy's conventional jump points and appeared directly at Surya.
Caesar's focus sharpened as he took in the scene, tapping into the Supreme Intelligence of Psychokinesis, while numerous minds converged on a noble of the Kree Empire, their intentions clear.
With the formidable arsenal of the Kree Empire by their side, their power rivaled that of a fourth-order high-level combatant, even surpassing Hela herself, who had just returned from her time in the underworld and had not yet fully regained her Asgardian might!
However, amidst this formidable display, another figure stood out, perhaps even more dangerous.
Standing next to the Supreme Intelligence was a man whose muscles strained against his attire, a crown of wings atop his head. Clad in a vibrant red and blue battle suit, a crimson cloak billowed behind him, untouched by any breeze. His demeanor exuded unwavering confidence, highlighting an undeniable threat.
He possessed true fourth-order high-level power, matching that of the gemless Thanos.
He was the foremost combatant of the Kree Empire, the commander of the Imperial Guards!
"I see," murmured Caesar, his gaze fixed on Dar-Benn. He understood why the Skrull Empire had fallen so swiftly.
The Kree Empire, at the very least, had provided the Kree with beyond-the-horizon teleportation support. Without it, the Skrull Empire, based in the Andromeda galaxy, wouldn't have fallen so easily. Their homeworld wouldn't have succumbed to the Kree's onslaught without a fight.
Among the three major empires, the Kree Empire held the upper hand.
Their technological powers and individual combat capabilities surpassed those of their rivals. As a superpower bustling with commerce, diverse cultures, and cutting-edge technology, they even had the capability to engineer habitable planets.
"Ah, at last, I can give these muscles a good stretch," Caesar commented, casting an amused glance at Dar-Benn and the legion of Kree Imperial Guards that loomed behind him, exuding an intimidating aura.
Adorned with feathered triangular helmets and lightweight combat attire, they wielded hefty energy cannons. The Kree's had powers similar to those of ordinary Asgardian upon reaching adulthood, making them a rare and formidable race in the cosmos.
