Do You Want to Become a God?

Ego took the glass, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.

"What's your relationship with that woman?"

Hela, who had never encountered such a scene before, teased Ego with great interest.

Does it matter?

After putting down his wine glass and letting out a long sigh, Ego's gloomy expression had vanished.

"Now, I have no relationship with her whatsoever."

"Maybe so, have fun."

Hela nodded, reached for the sunglasses on the edge of the bar, and waved goodbye to Ego.

After watching Hela leave, Ego glanced around the now completely silent tavern and then his gaze fell on a man who was closest to Beckett's previous position.

With a flick of his right hand, a stream of silver energy materialized into an arm, pulling him directly in front of him. "Tell me, what just happened between that woman and that man here?"

The icy gaze sent a shiver down the spines of the already terrified bystanders...

"You... know Ego?"

After leaving the tavern, Jennifer, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up and asked.

Beckett, walking ahead of her, kept walking, his voice flowing gently into her ears on the wind of Gafa.

"We've met once."

If we don't count the video recorded by Woz, there is indeed only one side; but if we include that video, there are more than one side.

"You--"

"My relationship with him isn't as complicated as you think. It's you, on the other hand, whose relationship with him is quite complicated."

Perhaps because he really didn't want to answer questions about Ego, Beckett directly revealed the secret that Jennifer had been hiding in her heart all along.

Jennifer's expression changed drastically.

"Why?!"

"There's no reason." Beckett turned around and glanced at Jennifer. His dark pupils gave Jennifer a Shocker feeling that she had been seen through.

Her relationship with Ego has always been a secret; she could even say that she didn't know about it, not even her own teacher. Why, why would Beckett...?

"My father once said that there is no such thing as a perfect cover-up in this world. As long as something really exists, it will leave a trace."

Beckett's figure receded into the distance, and his words, carried on the wind, left Jennifer with an uncertain expression.

She began to recall the times she had met with Ego on Gafa these past few days.

Beckett's arrival in Gapha will only be in the next day or two, or perhaps...

Jennifer considered an even more Shocker possibility.

Before his falling out with Robin, Beckett was a VIP at the Cosmic Auction House. What if he heard about this from Robin?

Does that mean that because of her, Ego has really been targeted by Robin?

Gritting her teeth, the uneasy Jennifer dialed the private communication channel, only to hear a turbulent sound indicating that her signal had been blocked.

[Ego ...]

"Ego, listen to me. I know, I know it was wrong of me to break up with you. But I really did it for your own good, please believe me."

"Also, you are in danger right now."

"I'm sorry, because of me, you've likely been targeted by Robin's men. You must be careful of any strangers who appear around you during this time."

Be very careful!

Jennifer's genuine concern echoed throughout the large room.

Standing by the bed, overlooking the night view of Gafa outside the window, Ego swirled the wine in his glass, his eyes narrowed, his gaze flickering, lost in thought.

Knowhere Control Center.

Hela, who had casually tossed the shards of her sunglasses into the garbage disposal, suddenly sensed something and with a flick of her right hand, a jet-black magical metal weapon was instantly flung out.

"Death Divinity? Not a bad ability."

With a unique, magnetic voice, Robin, clad in purple armor, looked at the weapon that had fallen at her feet and nodded approvingly.

"What do you want?"

Hela was very unhappy with Robin's intrusion into her room.

She was not this man's subordinate; their relationship was merely a brief and unreliable partnership.

"How's the matter with Ego going?"

Robin clearly didn't care about Hela's attitude.

"The initial contact went smoothly, why are you so concerned about that? Shouldn't you be more concerned about your own safety?"

"Friendly reminder, that Beckett almost destroyed the world of Svartalfheim."

If it weren't for his father Odin's intervention, the Nine Realms would probably be in chaos by now due to the destruction of Svartalfheim.

"Then what?"

What are you trying to say?

Robin's face showed no fear whatsoever, remaining as calm as still water.

"I'm more worried about Ego than Beckett." The mystery surrounding this life form, which has existed since the beginning of the universe, compels Robin to be wary.

In his intelligence network, Ego was Jennifer's boyfriend.

"Wait, how do you know all this?"

Hela immediately sensed something was wrong.

The man had previously acted as if he knew nothing about Ego in front of the Collector.

"Do you know how long I endured in order to defeat the Xiangluo Tribe 30 million years ago?"

"Five hundred years?"

No, it's far more than that.

Hela's eyes widened suddenly...

Three days later, in a desolate place on the Knowhere.

Beckett, dressed in a loose black Battle Suit, landed slowly on the ground, followed closely by Jennifer, whose blonde hair was flying.

"Teacher."

Upon landing, Jennifer respectfully knelt down to pay her respects. The small figure who had been looking up at the sky in the center of the desolate place heard this and slowly turned around, holding his cane.

He was less than 1.3 meters tall, shorter than Woz. He had an old face, a gray beard, held a cane, and carried a dark green tortoise shell on his back.

This was far from the image Beckett had envisioned.

"Beckett, a survivor of the Titans' catastrophe, Son of Thanos, nearly destroyed the existence of Svartalfheim."

"The self-proclaimed Super Saiyan surpasses the Saiyan is indeed a very interesting form."

The moment Beckett's eyes met the old man's, the words he uttered made his gaze instantly sharpen.

"I am Jennifer's teacher, the Great Sage of Knowhere, Gubo."

"Do you know what happened on Svartalfheim?"

That was a secret that Odin had locked away, without revealing a single word to anyone.

The official explanation is that Thanos, an ally, shattered mountains and rivers with a single Thanos, killing Malekith, the leader of the Dark Elves.

"Ahem, I know far more than you can imagine."

Coughing, a glass ball the size of an ordinary person's fist slowly appeared in the Great Sage's right hand.

"Then, as a gift for meeting you."

A slow flow of energy emanated from within the glass sphere, Beckett's face then appeared inside.

Suddenly, blue and red light enveloped Beckett's portrait, and the glass ball shattered!

"An unpredictable god?"

The Great Sage Gubo's gaze toward Beckett suddenly changed.

"What's the meaning?"

Beckett frowned. The old man was talking nonsense, and he was speaking in a language Beckett couldn't understand.

"Beckett, Son of Titan,"

Do you want to become a god?

The Great Sage Gubo stroked his graying beard, his words full of seduction.

Ahem, I almost forgot to post an update while having coffee with my girlfriend (●—●) Tiramisu was so delicious (ω) Hey
