With Only One Left Arm, What Can You Still Do?
"Sin?"
"You, who was beaten to a pulp by my father, what right do you have to say that?"
Hela sneered, but what she revealed made Ego's face darken.
The combined attack by Thanos and Odin left him with an unforgettable memory. The fact that his body was shattered made Ego determined to keep the matter to himself. However, Hela has now brought back that embarrassing memory.
How did you know?
A murderous intent surged wildly in Ego's eyes.
"Fine, anyway, all I need to do is kill you."
"First it was you, then that monkey, and then Thanos and Odin."
"One by one, I'll make them pay the price sooner or later!" With those hate-filled words, Ego instantly teleported in front of Hela.
"I'm afraid you'll die here again today."
Hela, who had styled her hair into a fighting pose, instinctively raised her arms to block Ego's attack. As she retreated rapidly, she still managed to sting Ego's nerves.
"You?"
"Is it still that monkey?"
"Or is it the Grandmaster I've already killed?"
An energy blast shattered the arena beneath Hela's feet, sending stone fragments flying.
"Hey! Just to clarify, I'm not dead." The Grandmaster, who had been lying in the control room pretending to be dead, couldn't help but stand up after hearing this and shouted loudly through the megaphone, indicating that he was not dead.
"What?"
Having been distracted by the Grandmaster, Ego was momentarily lost in thought when two dark swords appeared at his waist!
Amidst the flashing blades, the silver-trimmed white robe was instantly torn apart!
"You bastard!"
"Ah, I'm dead!" Seeing that his shout had caused Ego to be beaten, the Grandmaster immediately pulled out the dagger stuck in his chest, then put it back in, straightened his legs, and fell to the ground, convulsing.
"..." Ego's eyes twitched incessantly.
"Your strength seems to have weakened considerably."
"What, is it because my father and the others beat you too badly?"
Hela released her grip after stabbing her Hela, and two new weapons reappeared in her hands. The blades clashed, sparks flying.
"Go to hell—what?!"
Hela's weakness, instinctively sensed danger. Suddenly, tentacles emerged from the soles of her feet and firmly bound Hela's body!
"My power has not fully recovered, but even so, it is still far beyond what a doll like you can compare to." Without changing his expression, he drew the sword from his waist. As silver photons and blood splattered, Ego's wounds healed rapidly.
"If I kill you, Odin will be sad and heartbroken, won't he?"
With a cruel smile playing on his lips, Ego's eyes gleamed with silver light. His body gradually floated into the air, and his right leg, gathering power, shot straight toward Hela, who was bound by tentacles!
"Die, Hela Odinson!"
Boom!!!
The flashing lightning illuminated Ego's grinning face. Hela looked up, and whether it was her imagination or not, she felt as if there was a faint, ethereal image of a planet behind Ego.
Rumble!!!
Bang!!!!
A figure surrounded by golden flames suddenly appeared and descended from the sky!
The right foot, also imbued with power, collided with Ego's Planet Kick, and the energy ripples that spread through the air caused the entire land of Sakaar to tremble!
"Beckett!"
"What?!"
Ego, who had been kicked back by the golden figure, regained his footing in mid-air and stared in disbelief at the golden figure that had landed in front of Hela.
"After adapting to this power for so long, I'm still being bound by Ego. How shameful."
Hela's face, which had been showing surprise, froze, and her joy vanished instantly.
"You knew all of this?"
"Nonsense."
Beckett took off without looking back and flew towards Ego.
With Woz around, how could he not notice the energy barrier appearing around Sakaar?
"His Highness Beckett already knew, but he didn't expose your little trick because he really needed to familiarize himself with the newly grown power."
Woz, holding a small cup of Carter engine oil in both hands, hopped and skipped in front of Hela.
Hela remained silent.
The reason she did this without Beckett's knowledge was that she felt it would be easy for accidents to happen if she went to find Ego without being used to her power. That's why she had been intentionally or unintentionally having Beckett lower his strength to fight her these past few days.
She thought this was something only she and the Grandmaster knew, but now it seems Beckett knew all along?
So what is this?
Playing along with their scheme?
Between the two of them, who is actually scheming against whom?
"That's great."
Woz plopped down, swinging his short legs, took a satisfying sip from his oil cup, and exclaimed, "Besides Lord Thanos, Lady Hela, you're the first person who would take the initiative to care about His Highness Beckett."
"I care about him?"
"Are you kidding me!"
With Ego no longer obstructing her, Hela easily broke free of her restraints, put her hands on her hips, leaned over and glared at the robot cat whose head only reached her calves when it sat down. Under the latter's dazed gaze, she reached out her hands and kept kneading Woz's round cheeks.
"If it weren't for needing Ego's power for revenge, do you think I would care about him?!"
"Aren't you overestimating him?!"
"Ah?!"
"Ouch, ouch, ouch!!! I know, I know!!" Woz responded indistinctly as his cheeks were being pinched, spilling the unfinished oil from his cup all over the floor.
"Tsk!"
Hela her grip, crossed her arms over her chest, and looked up unhappily at the golden figure under the dim sky.
"How is this possible?!"
"Why has your power become so great?!"
After being punched in the face by Beckett once again, Ego face was already bruised and swollen, looked incredulously at Beckett was standing in front of him without even breaking a sweat.
How long has it been? How could this monkey, who was completely powerless against him in Gafa, be able to suppress him so easily?!
Although his strength has not been fully restored, that is no reason for the monkey to suppress him!
"My father once said,"
The pupils reflecting Ego's body were filled with indifference. Beckett raised his right arm, opened his palm, and dense energy condensed in his palm.
"My evolution speed is faster than light."
Boom!!!!
A beam of energy, transforming everything, shot out from Beckett's palm. Even though Ego had pushed his defenses to the limit, he still lost an arm under Beckett's energy beam!
"Oh? Your right arm is missing?"
"You reacted pretty quickly, but it's okay, you still have two legs." Beckett tilted his head, and the cold smile on his lips sent a chill down Ego's spine.
As soon as he finished speaking, a dense net of energy blasts formed and, with Beckett's pointing finger, surged towards Ego!
Boom!...
The indiscriminate attack caused an anomaly throughout Sakaar. Countless energy beams pierced through Ego's defenses and landed on every inch of Sakaar's land!
The mountains and rivers are shattered, and the rivers flow backward!
With no way to avoid it, Ego fell directly into the river flowing upstream. His only remaining left arm prevented Ego from being swept away by the surging current.
Snap.
Beckett landed on his toes, with a volcanic eruption behind him.
"Now, tell me," Beckett said, stepping through the splashing torrent, as he stood before the disheveled Ego. He placed a foot on Ego's remaining left arm, leaned down, and his eyes, reflecting Ego's likeness, were filled with cold indifference. "What can you do with only one left arm?"
