Omegex arrives on
Earth, scans the place, does not detect Red Hulk, then departs….
Red Hulk has become king of the planet Tiran and he tries to explain to his feuding
wives about tolerance but fails. He also confuses his subjects by studying
their enemy, the Hedzak of the planet Randaa. Then a military party from Randaa
attacks, using a giant radiation spouting worm called a Hydreka; Rulk leaps out
and kills the beast while his archers slay the enemy soldiers. That night, Rulk
confuses his people further by explaining that on his world, military leaders
don’t rule or necessarily want to. The invasion is scheduled for dawn, another
novel idea….
On
Randaa, King Bellusk awaits the return of his war party; the Hydreka arrives
and bursts open, revealing Red Hulk and his war party, having dyed their skins
from gray to yellow to pass as Hedzak. Rulk punches out Bellusk and announces
that the age of kings is over, there is no longer any need for war, and tells
them to come up with a new system of government. Rulk takes Bellusk into the
salvaged Vensk and flies into the vortex. He hits the rockets to head
back to his own world. Bellusk puts up a fight but suddenly fades away, as does
the Vensk. Rulk is met by Uravo the Watcher who explains that time has
diverged. The Omegex had arrived on Earth so she made sure that Red Hulk was
not there for it to find, thus causing it to leave Earth for some time. She
explains that the events Rulk just lived through were part of a cycle repeating
the Green Hulk’s life, in this case, planetary exile and return. None of what
he has gone through on the other planets really happened. And so she puts him
back where he began, rescuing the cosmonauts on the Vensk and returning
to Earth. But he is certain that it all did happen….
