S'Byll announces to the Kree that their leader was a Skrull in disguise, and negotiates for peace (or at least a truce) between their races. The Silver Surfer returns Shalla Bal home, and then himself embarks on a journey to track down the Stranger and learn of his motives in observing the events of the war so closely. While he is learning this, and encountering the Living Tribunal, Clumsy Foulup betrays the Contemplator and becomes ruler of the Kree empire instead.
