I Command You in the Savior's Name

"I really saw the savior?!"

"Alive?! Alive?!"

Am I dreaming?!

The man, dressed in a silver-and-gold-trimmed mage's robe, trembled with excitement, his small mustache contorted with rage.

"Ah, no, Savior, please wait a moment!"

Suddenly remembering that he still had a mission to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path to complete, the man immediately took a few steps back, bowed respectfully to Beckett and Hela, then formed hand seals and chanted obscure and difficult-to-understand incantations.

The villagers, who had previously believed they could resurrect indefinitely, gradually perished under the silent pressure. Deep yellow sand fell like raindrops, and the pattering sound caused Beckett to dissipate the energy he had gathered in his hands.

"Savior?"

That's interesting.

Beckett had no recollection of ever being a savior, nor was he the one who was.

In Beckett's view, the true savior of this universe should be his adoptive father Thanos, not him.

"Why does the sign on his chest have both of our pictures on it?"

Compared to Beckett, Hela, with her more meticulous observation, focused her gaze on the plaque on the magician's chest.

The portraits of Beckett and Hela are incredibly lifelike, and below them is the name "Menis," which looks somewhat like an identity plaque.

"Could it be... that group of people from back then?"

As memories flooded her mind, Hela instantly recalled the group of native inhabitants she rescued from the Allied Vanguard of the Nine Realms when she first arrived in Midgard with Beckett.

To be precise, it was she who saved him.

Hela was indignant about this for a while.

She was the one who started it...

Beckett only took action after being provoked by the vanguard of the Nine Realms Alliance, so why is he able to enjoy the same treatment as her?

She is the Princess of Asgard, the future ruler of the Nine Realms.

Call out!

The ring on Beckett's right wrist flashed, and Woz's figure stepped onto the deep yellow sand, making a squeaking sound.

"Woz?"

Beckett gave Woz, who had come out on his own initiative, a strange look; this was not like his usual behavior.

"These sands seem to contain a strange energy fluctuation, Your His Highness Beckett." Woz reached into his belly pocket and pulled out a large jar, bending down and sweeping the sand from the ground into the overturned jar with his chubby little hands.

Meow~

The orange cat perched on Beckett's shoulder yawned lazily, squinting at the robot cat with feline features.

"That is a power from another dimension, Savior."

After completing the entire ritual of chanting incantations to deliver the deceased, the sorcerer Menis walked up to Beckett and Hela, bowed respectfully, and explained.

"In Midgard, there are many tribes that have been bewitched by the other-dimensional demons. They have obtained power far beyond that of ordinary people from the other-dimensional demons at the cost of their own souls."

"The people of this tribe are one of them."

"That's impossible!"

As the future Lord of the Nine Realms, Hela immediately refuted the sorcerer's claim.

How could her father, Odin, possibly allow those otherworldly demons to interfere in Midgard?!

This was territory that had long been incorporated into Asgard's territory, and her father would never allow such a situation to occur in his land.

Hela was certain.

"In fact, that is indeed the case, Savior." Faced with Hela's denial, Menis was momentarily at a loss for how to explain himself.

"You seem to have no suspicion of us?"

Beckett didn't care about whether it was a demon or not; what he cared about was why this suddenly appearing mage had such an attitude towards him and Hela.

Logically speaking, when strangers meet for the first time, they should all retain a certain degree of wariness.

But this Menis is different.

On the very first meeting, he addressed me as "Savior".

Forget about religious beliefs; Beckett didn't believe he had performed any convincing miracles in Midgard like Odin.

"Of course, you may not remember, but six months ago, I was one of the humans you saved!"

When Menis spoke of his experience six months ago, his eyes were filled with adoration and fervor as he looked at Beckett.

Menis would never forget that blond-haired, blue-eyed man who looked like Kami descending to earth, sweeping across the vanguard of the Nine Realms.

It was Beckett who rekindled his hope for life, and it was Beckett who opened the door to the path of the strong for him.

It was also because of Beckett that when he received power from the other-dimensional demon god, he immediately dyed the front of his black hair gold.

Two-thirds of his hair is black, and one-third is blonde, as a tribute to the hair color of the savior Beckett in his normal state and Super Saiyan.

"My eyes are the eyes of truth that will never deceive me."

"Therefore, Savior, I am absolutely certain that I have not mistaken you for someone else!"

Menis knelt on one knee and bowed his forehead in a gesture of loyalty.

Although he knew his loyalty might be insignificant in Beckett's eyes, he was still willing to do his best to express his feelings.

[...]

Hela felt a surge of irritation.

She started it first...

Whether it's rescuing people or confronting the vanguard of the Nine Realms Alliance...

But why is it Beckett who leaves the most impression on people?

Just because blonde hair and blue eyes make them easily recognizable?

Hela wondered if she should get her hair treated again after returning to Asgard.

"I remember you said you finally arrived?"

What does that mean?

After gazing down at Menis, who was bowing his head in allegiance, for a long time, Beckett broke the increasingly eerie silence.

"My savior, I have been tracking this tribe for a long time."

"Their power comes from Orphie, one of the demon gods from another dimension."

"Not long ago, I discovered that they had captured an Energy Devouring Beast alive, and it seems they intend to use the Energy Devouring Beast's abilities to forcibly break free of their restraints and descend upon Midgard."

"I kept chasing them to prevent them from succeeding. However, I never expected that the Energy Devouring Beast they captured would actually be your pet, Savior."

Menis responded excitedly to Beckett's questions, recounting everything he knew in detail.

Upon understanding that it had been "captured alive," the orange cat's brown eyes immediately flashed with a dangerous glint, its teeth bared and its fur standing on end.

"Orphie, the demon god from another dimension..."

Upon hearing this, Beckett walked step by step to Menis, bent down, rested his right arm on his knee, and a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his lips, "Can you let him out?"

"Huh?" Menis paused, then nodded instinctively. "That's possible, but—"

"Then let him come out."

"I command you in the name of the Savior."
