The Time Stone's Marvelous Uses: Time Training Ground

Agamotto never imagined that one day Thanos from the Centaurus Galaxy would be able to fight alongside him. He also never imagined that Thanos, who was infamous throughout the universe, would have such a tender side, willing to fight Dormammu alongside him for the sake of his adopted son's growth.

What do you want me to do?

Unaware that his adoptive father Thanos had already sought out Agamotto, Beckett, feeling the abundant power within him, raised his eyes and asked in a deep voice.

Just as Thanos had predicted, when the stranger Agamotto rendered Beckett powerless as a supreme being, the latter unconsciously began to restrain his arrogance.

This is an effect that even Thanos couldn't achieve, simply because Thanos is Beckett's father, the person Beckett knows best and trusts the most.

"I want your soul to develop resistance to most Dimensional Magic," Agamotto replied with a smile.

Although Beckett wasn't the one who actually fought Dormammu this time, that didn't stop Agamotto from responding to Thanos's goodwill by teaching Beckett.

Simply making Beckett realize his shortcomings was not, in Agamotto's view, enough to make him equal to Thanos in his fight against Dormammu.

"Beckett, the energy within you is different from that of this universe. It can grant you extremely special powers in a very strange way, but it also brings you great drawbacks."

"Your soul is not recognized by this universe, even if your body has passed the first step in condensing divinity."

"This means your soul will be quite vulnerable, and when facing Dormammu, such a vulnerable soul is easily exploited by him."

Agamotto, who resisted Dormammu for an unknown period of time, has a lot to say on this point.

His most favored disciple's soul had been corrupted by Dormammu, not to mention Beckett, whose soul was completely defenseless against beings like them.

Thanos's Nutrient Fluid solution is a good way to steadily strengthen both the soul and the body, but it is too slow to take effect and requires a long time.

"Furthermore, if you want to travel back after obtaining the coordinates, your soul strength must be strong enough to reach a certain level; otherwise, you may die the moment you travel through the universe."

The warning from Agamotto silenced Beckett.

"Over the next few days, I will develop a special training plan for the two of you that is tailored to your individual needs."

"Let me make it clear beforehand that this special training is brutal and will cause you both unprecedented pain, and there is even a risk of death during the process."

"Therefore, I need to reconcile your opinions: do you agree, or—"

"I'll participate." Beckett and Hela said in unison, their agreement prompting them to exchange a glance.

"Very good. Then, meet at the pyramid in sixty minutes." With a satisfied Agamotto, the warp vanished instantly, and Beckett and Hela reappeared before the panicked The Other.

"Your His Highness Beckett?!"

"Lord Savior?!"

The voices of "The Other" and "Menis" rang out simultaneously, two completely different titles bestowed upon the expressionless Beckett.

"Inheritors of Horus, may I speak with you?"

Agamotto, who appeared right behind Beckett and Hela, turned his gaze to Menis, the Egyptian Pharaoh who wore the Millennium Eye on his chest, and asked kindly.

To complete this special training, the healing abilities of the Eye of Horus are essential, which is the main reason why he left the Sanctum and appeared in Upper Egypt.

"I refuse."

Sixty minutes later, Agamotto, holding the Eye of Horus on a tray, sat inside the unfinished pyramid, and standing before him were Beckett and Hela, who were already prepared.

"Besides my parents, you are the first person to give me special training."

"Although I don't quite trust you yet, it's hard for me to refuse the price you've offered." Hela, who had styled her hair into a fighting style, imbued her body with the power of the Death Divinity. Beside her stood Beckett, who had his arms crossed over his chest, his golden hair flowing.

For Hela, the Hall of Valor soldiers who could not ascend to Asgard was an irresistible temptation.

"You better not be lying to me about the coordinates."

Beckett, who was determined to obtain the coordinates of revenge, snorted coldly. Although his attitude towards Agamotto was no longer arrogant and haughty, it was not exactly friendly either.

"Alright, let's begin."

Agamotto laughed, and in an instant, dense magic constructed an incredibly solid warp, where the light unique to the Time Stone shone before Beckett and Hela!

"Welcome to the Time Training Ground."

Using the power of the Time Stone to alter the flow of time within the warp to the maximum extent, and aided by the Eye of Horus with its unparalleled healing abilities, ensured that neither of them would be in any real danger to their lives.

Through repeated extreme suffering, one tempers oneself, solidifies the soul, and cultivates divinity.

This is what Agamotto believes is the best way to unlock the potential within Beckett and Hela.

"That force... it's that rotten old stubborn..."

"Why? Why would he appear in Upper Egypt?"

Somewhere in the Lower Egypt region, Cuba, clad in white robes, felt the power of the Time Stone, his brow furrowed with bewilderment.

He knew that Beckett's power to annihilate an otherworldly demon with a single punch would surely attract the attention of the Sorcerer Supreme, but he never expected that Agamotto would actually appear in Egypt in person!

They even used the power of the Time Stone?

Are you kidding me?!

How can he then deceive people?

They'll probably be kicked out on the spot.

"Lord Dormammu, things have changed. Agamotto has appeared beside the Son of Thanos."

Left with no other choice, Cuba could only contact the paranoid Dormammu, who lived in the Dark Dimension, through a mark engraved in his soul.

Dormammu still hasn't found the source of that inexplicable unease he felt earlier, which is extremely incredible to him.

Logically speaking, having already transformed into the ruler of the Dark Dimension, he shouldn't be experiencing such emotions anymore.

But when Cuba told Dormammu that Agamotto had left the Sanctum and appeared in Egypt, the latter suddenly understood the source of his unease.

Agamotto would not leave the Sanctum unless it was something extremely important.

If that's the case...

"Are you ready for the final evolution, Cuba?"

"Evolve into, the ultimate darkness."

I'm speechless. I'm a designer, and I've been pulled into doing voice-over for a promotional video?!

What the hell do I know how to do this?!

It's shameful to write a manuscript and then have it read aloud...

Tonight, I single-handedly dragged the entire recording team down...
