In the dead of night, Miek calls the Hulk to show him the ship that brought him to Sakaar. A recording of the Illuminati’s farewell message plays on loop. Enraged, the Hulk smashes the console, silencing the message.
He returns to his royal bed, wakes his wife Caiera, and takes her to the Steppes. Haunted by the fear of being the Worldbreaker, the Hulk tells her he wants to isolate himself—to avoid hurting anyone—and take her with him.
But Caiera reassures him. He cannot be the Worldbreaker. *From his blood, plants grow.* He saved this arid world. And he shouldn’t be alone—he belongs here, with the people of Sakaar, with Caiera… and with their unborn child (!).
This revelation transforms the Green King. He now seeks peace. With help from the Warbound, he begins rebuilding the city. He sends his allies to forge treaties with the Red Emperor’s former enemies.
The Spikes are sent back to space, returning to their homeworld. The Hulk even frees the Spikes trapped on the shattered moon—then makes a fiery return to Sakaar, falling from the exosphere like a blazing meteor.
In gratitude, the Spikes release the essence of those they consumed. The souls speak to their loved ones one last time.
The people of Sakaar honor the Hulk. They call him Two-Hands, Holku, the Green Scar, the Green King. As he and Caiera walk among their people, they come across the ship that brought him to this world. Some natives wish to display it as a monument to the coming of the Sakaarson.
Suddenly, the warp core begins to fail. A piercing *“BEEP BEEP”* signals imminent detonation.
The Hulk hurls the ship into the sky and urges everyone to take cover. Caiera embraces him and whispers, *“Hulko.”*
Then—an explosion of atomic magnitude engulfs Crown City...
