Kl'rt does his best to repel the Annihilation wave, but the Harvester of Sorrows that has been deployed consumes entire worlds too easily. Defying the orders of his local warlord and becoming an enemy of the Skrull Empire, he leads an assault to defeat the enemy. His plan is to head to the Negative Zone and look for potential rebels there. The best way to get there is through Reed Richards' portal, so that's the route he takes.
