Moreover, he was a famous figure, one of the members of Soundwave's tape army, Chaos.

“Master, I have cracked all the control permissions of this spaceship and stolen all the information. Marwell has not found anything. Although we cannot be sure that the Kree Empire’s technological level is not as high as what we have, at least this spaceship’s level is on par with landing ships in our fleet!” Chaos immediately reported to Josie.

However, in the short span of half a day after boarding the spaceship, Confusion had already secretly taken control of it.

“Very good, send a message to Vera and tell them to take action!” Josie nodded in satisfaction and then gave the order.

"Yes, my master!" Confusion immediately obeyed, and then transformed into an antenna-like radar shape with a series of chirping sounds.

Immediately, messages were sent through the spaceship's built-in communication system, traversing endless space and reaching the solar system.

The area where the solar system wormhole was located, which had seemed quiet and empty, suddenly rippled, and a huge fleet of hundreds of starships appeared.

"Depart!" On Cambridge, the largest ship in the fleet, Vera, dressed in exquisite leather armor and carrying a longbow, gave the order to proceed.

This fleet is called the Ouroboros First Ranger Fleet.

It is also the first space fleet of Ouroboros.

Vereesa was the commander of this fleet.

With a command from Vera, hundreds of starships entered the space jump point in an orderly fashion and soon appeared in the Tri system.

Because Marwell's ship had already flown far away, and the entire ship was actually under the control of the Chaos, Marwell himself was busy with the Catermo Mirror, so he had no idea what was happening here.

The fleet quickly began deploying defensive positions around the jump point in the Trier system and started sending exploration ships into the Trier system.

Meanwhile, after the First Ranger Fleet established a foothold in the Tri system, more transport ships from within the solar system also began to reach the Tri system through space wormholes.

As a galaxy with a wormhole that leads directly to the solar system, this place must be in the hands of Earthlings themselves.

So, unsurprisingly, this galaxy will become Ouroboros' first colony.

As for the original nominal owner of this star system, the Kree Empire... who cares?

Chapter 266 Planet Bedun

Just as Marwell said, when they first entered the universe, Josie and the others thought the various magnificent landscapes of different star systems were very beautiful, but after spending a few days in the boundless universe, they lost interest in such "beautiful scenery".

Fortunately, the spaceship had plenty of entertainment facilities, and the four of them had their closest loved ones by their side, so they didn't feel too bored.

After about a week of flight and eight space jumps, the ship finally arrived at the heart of the Kree Empire.

That's right, we haven't arrived at Hala, the capital of the Kree Empire, but only at a relatively central region of the Kree Empire—which shows just how vast the Kree Empire is.

Moreover, at this time, they had already left the Milky Way galaxy—the core region of the Kree Empire, and their capital star Hala, which was never within the Milky Way galaxy, but in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, about 16 light-years away from Earth.

After arriving here, Marwell did not continue piloting the spaceship to travel, but instead headed towards a planet in the current star system after leaving the jump point.

"This is Bedun, a vassal civilization of the Kree. Because the Bedun people are brave and skilled in battle, they are among the top-tier vassal civilizations of the Kree. Bedun has also become the most prosperous planet in the fourth quadrant of the Empire... But to be honest, I don't like them." As the spaceship drew closer to the starport, Mar-Vell introduced the planet to Josie and the others.

"Oh? Why?" Peggy Carter asked curiously when she heard Marwell say that.

Meanwhile, Josie on the other side looked thoughtful.

The Bedun people... He seemed to vaguely recognize the name of this race. What was it again?

“Because they are too warlike, they often target lower-level civilizations, killing off the old and weak, while the young and strong are sold into slavery—a bunch of warmongers!” Marwell said, frowning slightly.

"What? So barbaric?" Peggy Carter frowned.

Hmm, hearing Carter call the Bedun people barbaric... Honestly, Josh really wanted to retort that the actions of his homeland, the British Empire, over the past few centuries were not much different from those of the Bedun people; the only difference was the sphere of influence.

However, at this moment, Josie remembered where he had first encountered this Bedun man.

If he remembered correctly, in Guardians of the Galaxy, Star-Lord's adoptive father Yondu's race was wiped out by the Bedun, and Yondu himself was once sold into slavery by the Kree.

“There’s nothing we can do. Many of the Bedun’s major clients are high-ranking officials in the Empire, and the Imperial Army’s war slaves are mostly provided by the Bedun,” Marville sighed. This was a system established by the Kree Empire’s high command, and it wasn’t something a mere elite warrior like her could change.

"War slaves? What's that?" Carter frowned as she asked the word. She already knew the meaning of the term, but she still found it hard to believe.

After all, slavery has been gone on Earth for over a hundred years... yet a cosmic civilization that is so much more advanced than Earth still has slavery?

“They’re basically slave soldiers. They’ll be fitted with some restrictions and do hard labor in peacetime, but during wartime they’ll serve as cannon fodder in the first echelon!” Marwell shattered Carter’s last shred of hope and answered.

“If the Bedun civilization finds out about Earth…” Carter swallowed hard.

"...If nothing unexpected happens, you will indeed get the worst possible answer you've imagined. So during your time in the Kree, you must keep your origins a secret and try not to go out alone without my knowledge. Even if you do go out, if you encounter trouble, don't say a word until I arrive!" Marville said seriously. "I know you are powerful, but you must understand that you are now facing one of the most powerful civilizations in the known universe. Individual strength is utterly insignificant in its presence!"

Faced with Marwell's warning, Josie and the other two nodded repeatedly.

However, what I was thinking was completely different.

Carter was truly shocked.

But Josie didn't care at all.

Individual strength is no match for a powerful civilization? That's because you haven't witnessed the true power of a single person destroying a planet.

And you probably wouldn't guess that I actually carry a fleet with me—no, not just a fleet, but several civilizations.

However, upon thinking of this, Josie had a sudden thought and couldn't help but recall the Power Stone.

What was the name of the planet where the Power Stone was located? Morag?

“Oh right, I forgot to give you this. This is a simultaneous translation device. I’ve already input the English into it. It contains the languages ​​of all races in the Kree region. With it, you can basically travel freely within the core star sector of the Empire. It’s also a communication and payment tool. Ten thousand star coins per person, which should be enough for your expenses!” Just then, Marwell took out three more “earphones” and “wristwatches” and handed them to Josie and the other two.

"Get ready, we'll disembark in half an hour!" Marwell said to the three as the spaceship came to a stop in the starport.

The three of them then returned to their respective rooms to prepare.

"Confusion, check if there's any data about Morag on this spaceship!" Josie ordered Confusion the moment she returned to her room.

"Yes, Master. The keyword 'Morag' is being searched... Found! Planet Morag, an ancient civilization ruin, located in the Andromeda Galaxy, on the border between the Nova Empire and the Kree Empire. It's two million light-years away from our location, requiring twenty-four jump points. At our current spaceship speed, it will take a month!" Chaos quickly found the answer in the database.

More than a thousand years ago, during its expansion, the Kree Empire discovered a wormhole leading to the Andromeda Galaxy, which led to its invasion of the Andromeda Galaxy.

On the other side of that spatial passage lies the territory of the Nova Empire.

Thus, the two empires engaged in a war that lasted for over a thousand years, resulting in deep-seated resentment.

Morag is located in the war zone between the two great empires on the edge of the Andromeda constellation, which is also one of the most chaotic areas in the known universe, where raiders run rampant.

That's why Star-Lord appears there in the movie.

However, speaking of the war between the Kree Empire and the Nova Empire...

In terms of pure strength, the Nova Empire is far inferior to the Kree Empire.

However, the Nova Empire has a great older brother, the Shi'ar Empire.

Moreover, the Kree Empire is inherently aggressive, and it is basically fighting on multiple fronts year after year. It also has the Skrulls as a major enemy, which is why it has never been able to conquer the Shi'ar.

However, in recent years, the dispute between the two sides has begun to ease, and there is even a possibility of peace talks.

After all, even the most powerful civilization would tire if a war lasted for thousands of years.

Having found the answer, Josie quickly made up her mind. She then tidied herself up and, together with Margot, changed into the Kree uniforms that Marwell had prepared in advance and went out of the cabin.

When they arrived at the bridge, Marville and Carter, also dressed in Kree uniforms, were already waiting.

However, although they were all in Kree uniforms, Josie and her two companions' clothes were quite different from those of Mar-Vell, a proper Kree soldier. Their attire was much simpler and lacked any insignia.

This means they are non-military personnel—that is, they have some connection with the military, but are not formal military personnel.

These were originally designed for the convenience of Kree soldiers' families, so Mar-Vell giving these clothes to Josie and his men did not violate any regulations.

So, having finished getting ready, the group, led by Marwell, stepped into Starport.

As the most prosperous planet in the fourth quadrant of the Kree Empire, the entire starport was unexpectedly bustling.

The diverse array of aliens broadened the horizons of Josie and her two companions.

As a military dictatorship, the Kree Empire granted its soldiers extremely high privileges. As an elite warrior, Marville enjoyed special privileges in most parts of the empire's territory.

So the four of them only underwent a very simple check and disinfection in a special channel before passing through the customs of the starport, without having to queue with those strangely shaped aliens. Although it was an interstellar civilization, the entire inspection process, apart from the more advanced instruments, was basically the same as the customs of various countries on Earth.

This surprised Josie and the others, but it was also quite reasonable.

Aliens are living beings too, and as such, they are susceptible to microorganisms and diseases, so quarantine is perfectly normal.

During this process, Josie and her friends also met the Bedun people that Marwell had mentioned.

It was at this time that Josie and the other two realized that Marville's dislike of this race was probably not solely due to their barbarity.

The bigger reason is probably that they are just too ugly.

Why use them? Because these Bedun people are over two meters tall, but their hands and feet are also nearly two meters long. They are completely bald and hairless, and have a pale green skin. They look like a deformed, long-legged lizard without a tail, and are as ugly as can be.

However, despite the ugly appearance of the Bedun people, the planet Bedun is undeniably beautiful.

Unlike Earth, which is 70% ocean, the planet Bedoon is half ocean and half land. Moreover, as a cosmic civilization, Bedoon is not a steel jungle like Earth. Instead, most of the planet is lush and green, with only a few cities scattered across this green land.

"I didn't expect the people of Bedun to be so environmentally conscious!" Sitting on the shuttle heading to the ground, Josie looked at the scenery of the planet Bedun below and the planetary handbook she had picked up in the starport and couldn't help but joke.

"Heh, if your Earth could plunder a few hundred civilizations, it would be this environmentally friendly!" Marwell scoffed upon hearing Josie's words.

However, her words immediately resonated with Josie.

Why are Western countries able to clamor for environmental protection in the 21st century? Isn't it because they've plundered the world and eaten their fill over the past few centuries?

“But it’s precisely because of the good environment here that it’s become the most prosperous planet in this star sector and a famous tourist destination. That’s why I listed it as our first stop on the trip… To be honest, although I’ve been to Bedoon many times, it’s always been for missions, so I’ve only been here briefly and never really had a chance to explore properly. This time, it’s perfect to explore with you all!” Marwell said with a smile.

Just as Marwell said, the four of them basically spent the next few days exploring and eating their way around the planet Bedoon.

As Marwell said, this was due to the fact that the Bedun had plundered hundreds of civilizations and possessed a large number of slaves.
