Inside the spacecraft. Dressed in gleaming silver suit, Daniel stood proudly in the center of the cabin and said in a deep voice toward the cockpit,
"Set our destination for Hala."
The silver suit shone brilliantly.
Now that he had left Earth, he couldn't disgrace humanity's image, so Daniel had decided that for the duration of this journey through space, he would never take off his suit.
Just look at this suit. How handsome and majestic!
"Understood, sir."
A robotic voice replied. The spacecraft already had Hala's coordinates stored, allowing the system to pilot it automatically.
Tony's technology was always trustworthy. Besides, even if the ship crashed, Daniel wasn't worried, after all, he wouldn't be the unlucky one.
"Estimated time of arrival at Hala: one day," the system announced again.
"Wait," Talos couldn't help speaking. "We're... going straight to Hala?"
He felt rather reluctant. Hadn't they agreed to help the Skrulls find a new home? So, why were they heading directly to Hala? Wasn't this basically walking straight into the enemy's trap?
"That's right. I said I'd destroy the Supreme Intelligence, and I always keep my promises."
Daniel answered casually. Now that he had left Earth behind, he had already cast aside all the sadness and reluctance of parting, ready to fully enjoy this trip.
That's right, this was a vacation.
After living in this world for more than twenty years, Daniel had already gained a fairly good understanding of its power scale.
This was the Marvel Cinematic Universe, not the Marvel Comics universe, so there weren't countless absurdly overpowered beings running around here.
Among all the monsters in this world, he was the biggest monster of them all. Those multiversal-level beings and cosmic entities? Either they'd been heavily nerfed, or they simply didn't exist, so Daniel had absolutely no reason to fear anyone.
Daniel was "The Stud."
He'd fight anyone, he'd flirt with anyone, and as long as he kept having fun, everything would be fine.
'Just call me Daniel the Great.'
He was getting extremely full of himself, because in this universe, unless Thanos managed to gather all six Infinity Stones, nobody could even challenge Daniel
But could Thanos actually collect all six?
Leaving everything else aside, the Space Stone was currently lying in Daniel's bedroom back home. Ordinary people didn't know that, and those who did know... who would even try stealing it?
Even though Daniel had left Earth, nobody dared touch anything that belonged to him. Unless he disappeared for years without any news, his house was effectively forbidden territory.
The mark Daniel had left on the Land of Abhorrence had yet to fade, and the remains of Hydra's base still rested at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.
If anything, urgent happened, Susan could contact Daniel, while Tony and T'Challa were also more than capable of handling matters in his absence, so with everything in place, his home front was completely secure.
And without the Space Stone, Thanos had absolutely no way to threaten Daniel. In fact, the moment Thanos arrived on Earth, Daniel would sense him immediately.
"Then he'd greet him with a fist like a sledgehammer."
And if Thanos could survive that, there'd be a second punch, then a third. The punches would keep on coming, ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand.
Daniel was fast enough and had enough stamina to throw all of those punches within a single second, he could keep fighting all day.
Hopefully Thanos would enjoy the experience, and other than him, there were only a handful of truly powerful beings left in this world.
The Ancient One? Daniel felt he no longer feared her.
Odin? He wasn't a problem either.
Maybe Odin in his prime could exchange a few blows with Daniel, but the current Odin was an old man. He couldn't fight anymore, and his one foot was already in the grave.
Daniel figured that if old Odin tried fighting him, he'd probably keel over halfway through the battle.
Thor's older sister, Hela, might actually be able to put up a decent fight.
But Daniel wasn't foolish. He wasn't Asgardian, and he had no connection to Asgard or Ragnarok, so those things meant nothing to him. Also, even if Hela fought at her absolute peak, she would still be facing an opponent far beyond her reach.
And, if she had the courage to come to Earth and directly challenge him, he wouldn't back down either, even if she was a goth baddie.
"I actually think..." Talos hesitated before continuing, "...you should drop us off on another planet first before going to Hala."
Although Talos knew Daniel was incredibly powerful, and Carol was equally terrifying. He still didn't want to take any unnecessary risks, even though he desperately wanted to witness the Kree suffering.
This spacecraft carried his wife, his child, and all of his remaining loyal followers.
If a battle broke out and Daniel and Carol got tied down by the Kree, wouldn't the Skrulls simply be delivering themselves into enemy hands?
"For the glorious restoration of the Skrull race, I can't afford any gamble."
That was what Talos told himself. The Skrulls had so little left, that they couldn't afford another disaster.
"Fair enough," Daniel thought for a moment. "Then we'll find a planet for all of you to disembark on first, then Carol and I will head to Hala by ourselves."
"Can... can I get off too?"
Leo, who had been quietly hiding in the corner this whole time, finally spoke in a tiny voice. Yon-Rogg also revealed a hopeful expression, as he also wanted to get off the ship.
From Daniel and the others' conversation, Leo had already realized they were heading off to fight aliens, and not just any fight, they were launching an assault directly on the enemy's homeworld.
Being a lion who always valued self-preservation, Leo wanted absolutely no part of it.
"I'm just an ordinary little lion, and I don't even have the ability to protect myself."
"No."
Carol glanced over at him, only then realizing she had nearly forgotten about him.
"You're coming with us, because there'll be a use for you."
Since she was returning to Hala, she naturally intended to make a grand entrance.
Once Leo transformed into his gigantic form, he certainly looked impressive. Sure, he was weak, and they'd probably have to protect him, but he looked cool.
Daniel wasn't the only one who liked putting on a show. Carol enjoyed it just as much.
After Carol glared at him, Leo didn't dare utter another word. He obediently returned to his spot and lay down.
"And don't even think about it."
Daniel noticed the hope in Yon-Rogg's eyes.
"You traveled all the way to Earth as our 'guest,' even tried to blow up the planet, and since you were so enthusiastic, naturally we Earthlings must return the hospitality."
"I'll personally escort you back to Hala."
Hearing that, Yon-Rogg completely gave up. Ever since Daniel had blown apart his teammates one punch at a time, he had already mentally prepared himself.
Back then, he'd even thought about giving up on life, but after being Hulk-slammed repeatedly by Daniel, that thought had completely disappeared.
His courage had literally been beaten out of him, also living one more day was still living.
...
After making two warp jumps, the spacecraft arrived at a border planet within Kree territory. Technically, it belonged to the Kree Empire, but in reality, there were countless planets like this one.
Once the local natives saw how powerful the Kree were, they voluntarily joined the empire, and the Kree accepted anyone who came.
If the planet had resources, they'd send people to mine them. If it didn't, they simply claimed ownership in name and ignored it. This nameless planet happened to be extremely poor in resources.
Under Daniel's watchful gaze, Talos and the other Skrulls slowly disembarked. Just as the hatch was about to close, Talos exchanged a few words with his wife, and then climbed back aboard.
"I really want to witness the moment the Supreme Intelligence is destroyed."
Talos spread his hands. His hatred for the Kree ran too deep, so he simply couldn't miss this once in a lifetime opportunity. Deep down, he even secretly hoped that Daniel and the Kree would fight each other to the bitter end.
In his mind, the only good Kree was a dead Kree.
"Very well," Daniel declared spiritedly. "Then let's set off!"
At this moment, he was the captain, and playing this role gave Daniel an entirely new kind of excitement. So, full of confidence, Captain Daniel issued his command.
"System, set our destination..."
"Hala!"
