—Avengers Vol 1 89He needs but one command -- has but one goal -- that goal: KILL CAPTAIN MARVEL
—Silver Surfer Vol 3 13What Galactus can bestow, Kree science can create!
—Fantastic Four Vol 3 13Be proud, humans -- -- for before you perish on this lifeless orb you will be privileged to bear witness to the liberation of the Kree race......and the fulfillment of their ultimate destiny!
—Maximum Security Vol 1 1There will be no discussion, no debate. You are prisoners. I am your warden. Now...back to your cell!
—Captain Marvel Vol 4 22Captain Marvel... I accuse you of being out of date. Of being a festering relic, an unpleasant memory. A mere half-Kree you may be, but what you symbolize is a full-blooded embarrassment. We shall have to do something about you. For that is the rule of law... --and the law of Ruul.
—Captain Marvel Vol 4 25I've been giving much thought to you, Una-Rogg. We were going to evolve you, make you one of the Ruul, but I've rethought it. Instead...you will be given a small vessel, to roam the galaxy, exiled, the last of your kind, part of a Kree race that is hated and despised...and knowing that that race has left you behind. You will live knowing, Una-Rogg, that from an evolutionary standpoint...you are the weakest link. Good-bye.
—Annihilation: Ronan Vol 1 1I am RONAN... and you, Metz of the Qa-Kabar, are the accused!
—Annihilation: Ronan Vol 1 3'The Deadliest Woman in the Universe,' eh? Well...meet the most STUBBORN man!
—Annihilators: Earthfall Vol 1 3We will attempt to reset the font. I sincerely hope the effort succeeds. But if it does not, we cannot afford to waste further time. If we fail, my Sentries will annihilate the U.S. mainland.
—Avengers Vol 5 23I do, Black Dwarf. And you... have been judged!
—Royals Vol 1 4You conquered Hala once. And when you were done with conquest... when you had made our Empire yours... you got bored. You ran. Now Hala lies dead, and the Empire is shattered. But I am still the Accuser... and I accuse you.
—Ronan (Earth-616)You three are guilty of attempted Revolution! Treason! So pronounces - Ronan the Accuser!
—Universal WeaponWe, of the Kree race, have power so much greater than yours that it must seem like virtual magic to you. Even this one simple weapon I hold--it has the potential to create and destroy all physical matter--as I may will it!
Understand, people, this is real, it's headed our way, and it's scary enough to make space empires scramble. Ex Nihilo. These people--your Builders--created you and your sister, Abyss. What chance would we have if they make it to Earth?
Captain, the measuring of probabilities is--
The answer is none. If that fleet reaches this system, the next step in human evolution is extinction.[2]
I have received grave news, fellow warlords...the invaders have claimed another world. Two hundred billion souls...gone.
And did you summon us here to prattle while Skrull warriors die...or are we going to meet them in battle?
You think I run from glory, My'rl? If there was glory to be had, I would surely beat you there. No, you are here because...there is going to be a gathering. A war council on Nomad. Word has spread of this invading fleet. I wish for us to go in the hopes we can...prevent what looks inevitable.[3]
NO!!
Probablility of survival approaching zero if we do not withdraw from this theater. We've lost a third of the fleet in under a minute.
We have to retreat. Now! Run! RUN! RUN![3]
Well, when I die, I will be gone forever. And it seems in death, our masters see fit to make a mockery of all that I have done and all I am.
Declarative: Triumph before all, Jerran Ko. Declarative: Complete your maker's commands...in defeat, at the very least, we wound.
I remember a time when this symbol on my chest meant life. Record my words for the code, Aleph...tell everyone that Jerran Ko said those were better days...and that they are now long gone.[4]
What we want is the preservation of our universe. What we want...is to destroy a world. Earth.
What? I knew it! All of this...over a useless, backwater...I...I could give you Earth. I believe I could do that if it means you would leave my empire alone. I would do that if it would stop this war now.
Oh, you insignificant creature...this is not a war, it is a cleansing...[5]
You must leave as well, Creator...this ship will not last long against the great weapons.
We have been stung here today...it is an insult I will not forget. Scuttle the ship. Then join the third wing in the battle. Make your end mean something, Ex Nihila.[6]
There are hundreds of Council ships in orbit around Hala. Ships that defeated your fleet. Ships contained by great warriors who certainly see the military significance of this empire and are not afraid to act on it. Why do you stay?
Because this is my world. Because you bent the knee. And you do not realize your position...Supremor. Tell your Accuser how beaten we Builders are. Tell him what happens next.
Based on observed behavior...99.7% chance that the scattered Builder fleet reassembles. Reassembly a certainty, there is a 72.5% chance that the Builder fleet continues on along their previously projected path. There is a 27% chance that the Builder fleet returns to deal with the remaining Council armada. Such a conflict would result in Council defeat in 83.2% of simulated battles.
Yes. And under all of these scenarios, what is the projected percentage that you Kree remain under Builder control?
Assuming natural attrition of insignificant worlds and prioritizing the significant world groups...70.1%.
I stay...because this world is mine.[7]
Hssssssss!
The drones are attacking one another. I can't believe...that was...that was it...our last gambit. Our final effort. All we had left. Mentor, summon my son. Rally all the Super- and Subguardians.
Majestor--
No. Not Majestor...I will die as I lived. As Gladiator, praetor of the Imperial Guard. This is the end, my friend...unless saved by some unforeseen miracle, we die...and I would face it head-on.[8]
Why? When did death become your way, my child...? Even when you stopped worshipping me, you revered life...why this?
Because the universe is dying.
I know.
All the universes are dying, and there's only one way to save this one. Destroy the axis point...and perhaps save them all.[8]
You must know by now that the Earth is the axis point for the death of everything...you must know what conclusion must be drawn from this fact.
No, that's not true. The cascading effect of other dying universes is increasing. The rate of all things dying. Killing a single Earth is like comparing a pebble to a planet. You're thinking too small.
Oh, I agree. Incrementalism is a waste a time, but ask yourself...what if we killed all the Earths? All of them. We believe that would save everything, and if not save it, then at least prolong it, perserving a more natural end to our existence.[9]
Take a look.
Whose idea was that? Why would--
Why? This war was not won by an empire, ours or any other. It was not won by the Council, who broke. No, every time the battle turned, it was you Earthers, you...Avengers...that won the day. You held at the Behemoth...you turned the World Killers on their masters over Hala...and then you broke the enemy with a single man and a hammer that was thrown around the sun...we rallied to you, good Captain. We rallied to your standard...Dockrum VII is free again...and it is an Avengers World.[10]
And just how did you solve this incursion, Reed Richards?
We didn't have to.
You're making my point for me.
Actually, it's interesting...they were a multi-universal, ancient civilization called Builders. Who it seemed--
HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! The Builders, you say...how very ominous. That is indeed some threat.
I don't think you understand what we're talking about. Perhaps you don't know what all we--and our friends--have just been through.
System-creating, universal migrants. Creators and Engineers...more than capable of destroying worlds. Did you not find it strange that they were limited in how they moved throughout your universe? That a race so advanced was limited to traveling in what was essentially a straight line? It's because their vessels were not built for traveling great distances outside of their Superflow. See...they invested heavily in their conduit, and now without it, they are trapped and unable to elude Rabum Alal--just like you, just like me. Tell me, Stark...do I sound like I know what I am talking about? [...] Are you aware that these Builders are confined to under five thousand realities? Who worries about a kalbi when facing an idimmu? [... "Who worries about a dog when facing a demon?" ...]
I understand. There are worse things out there.
No, you haven't been listening at all...there are worse things coming. You fret Builders...but what if it had been the Mapmakers? Not just their Sidera Maris...but the masters themselves? What if it had been the Black Priests? And what if it had been the Sinnu Sarrum? The Ivory Kings? What would you have done? All of this...like children...playing. What you just went through...it only had the appearance of finality--it lacked the effect. That ends now.[11]
