Enemies He Had Once Defeated
The dark sky was covered with thunderclouds, and the bleak, cold wind cut to the bone.
Standing amidst the ruins, gazing into the distance, the endless world filled Hela with a profound sense of solemnity.
To create such a large subspace single-handedly, Agamotto's power truly far exceeded her imagination.
"This is the training ground for time. Here, time will be meaningless to you."
Agamotto, dressed in a deep yellow mage's robe and with his hood pulled down, appeared abruptly in front of Beckett and Hela.
"What did you say?"
Time is one of the fundamental rules governing the universe. As far as Beckett knows, even his adoptive father, Thanos, couldn't make such a boast.
"You two can stay here as long as you want, but the condition is that you don't die here."
Ignoring the shock of Beckett and Hela, Agamotto stretched out his arms and thrust them forward!
Despite being on guard, Hela and Beckett's souls were still instantly separated from their bodies by the Sorcerer Supreme, who had been fighting alone against the other-dimensional demon for so long!
Thump!
The two soulless bodies fell to the ground, and Agamotto then personally sealed them to two broken pillars in the ruins.
With a flick of their fingers, Beckett and Hela's souls were uncontrollably sent flying to the edge of this subspace.
"No matter what method you use, as long as you can reappear here, break my seal, and reclaim your bodies, the training can end."
"Now, let's begin."
As soon as he finished speaking, Agamotto's figure vanished into the warp.
Ultimately, this special training was merely an opportunity for him to give these two juniors a chance. Whether they could achieve final victory depended on their own ability to seize the opportunity, and it had little to do with him.
"How long can you hold out?"
Inside the pyramid, Agamotto, sitting cross-legged on the ground, gazed at the virtual reality projected from the Time Stone, filled with anticipation.
Meanwhile, in the Dark Order, Thanos, fully armed, was alone in the base reforging his greatsword, since ordinary attacks were not very effective against the Lord of the Dark Order.
In Asgard, King Odin, under Queen Frigga's reluctant gaze, donned the Destroyer Armor, took his spear that never missed its mark, and vanished at the end of the Bifrost.
Dormammu of the Dark Order, having diverted a portion of his power to the believer Cuba, grinned maliciously as he looked at the now completely inhuman white body before him and sent him back to the icy wilderness of Northern Europe.
Call out!
Bang!
In the Time Training Grounds, Beckett and Hela, in their soul form, failed once again in their challenge.
The two, who had been sent to the ends of the earth by Agamotto's flick of the finger, had just set off when they were stopped by a figure and an army in a small border town.
"Shafrin ..."
Looking at the familiar figure on the city wall, Beckett gritted his teeth as he stood up once more, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Why would soldiers of the Nine Realms Allied Army obey the orders of someone who is not from the Nine Realms?"
Hela, meanwhile, was troubled by the sight of the united army of the Nine Realms forming battle formations below the city walls.
"The Time Training Grounds can materialize the opponents you have defeated from the time you have experienced in the past."
"Having lost your power, do you still have the courage to throw one last punch at your former enemies?"
Inside the pyramid, Agamotto, sitting cross-legged and motionless, was filled with anticipation.
Before him, the once empty space was now occupied by three figures.
The Other, wielding the Mind Scepter with deep concern; Woz, so shocked he didn't even realize he'd dropped an oil can; and Menis, the true owner of the Eye of Horus —the Egyptian Pharaoh.
Meow~
The orange Energy Devouring Beast circled Agamotto's figure with cat-like steps, its brown pupils fixed on the shimmering object on the Sorcerer Supreme's chest, wondering if it could devour it.
"No, it's impossible to get through!"
Inside the time training field,
Hela, who could barely use her divine power in her soul form, was repeatedly defeated by Shafrin wore a mask and golden armor.
After Hela was blasted out of the city by his own punch, the materialized Shafrin stopped what he was doing, waved his cloak, and returned to silence.
"Hey! How did you beat this guy before?!"
Having failed yet again, Hela, gritting her teeth, turned her gaze to Beckett.
"It was destroyed along with U40 Planet."
Beckett replied coldly, his gaze turning increasingly gloomy as he looked at the silent Shafrin atop the city walls.
If he still had the strength...
He was just a defeated opponent from his memory...
"If this direction doesn't work, then let's try another one."
After trying several times and finding that the road was impassable Hela decisively chose to evacuate.
That move, the Corpse Qi Netherwave, was something she couldn't possibly withstand in her soul state.
What are you still standing there for?
Let's go!
Hela had only taken two steps when she noticed Beckett still standing there dumbfounded, his eyes fixed on Shafrin on the city wall. Hela couldn't help but growl.
On the path of trials, having more companions will give you a greater sense of security.
But Beckett seemed not to hear at all, remaining rooted to the spot, his eyelids lowered, his fists clenched, filled with resentment.
He was clearly his former defeated opponent...
"The aura of accumulated corpses..."
On the city wall, as if receiving some kind of command, Shafrin, clad in golden armor, raised his right hand, and purple mist quickly began to emerge from the edge of this subspace.
????!
"Poisonous?!"
Sensing danger at the same time Beckett and Hela's expressions changed drastically. They flew into the air and looked back. The purple mist was still chasing after them, constantly shrinking the encirclement!
"Bypass this city, head to the seaside!"
With villains blocking their way and poisonous fog in hot pursuit, the two figures were forced to change course and land in the sea where there was no poisonous fog.
"Beckett!!"
Before the two people floating above the sea could regain their footing, a naked, muscular figure holding a trident roared Beckett's name and soared into the sky!
Wild black hair, a rugged face, and a trident that strikes straight to the soul!
"Beckett, who is this?!"
Hela's face was grim as she hurriedly dodged. Just as the Death Divinity concentrated in her soul was about to take effect, a long whip suddenly appeared from the void and firmly bound Hela's body.
"We are the Avengers from Hell."
"This is a battle between us and Beckett. Unrelated parties should leave now."
The owner of the long whip swayed his waist, his wavy hair dazzling Beckett's eyes in the biting sea breeze.
"... Diana?"
Beckett frowned, making sure he wasn't mistaken.
"I see, so this time it's people from N52 Planet?"
Beckett looked up, and beneath the thunderclouds, a humanoid Flash was hurtling straight toward him!
Thump!
A scorching electric current surged through Beckett's soul in an instant, paralyzing Beckett completely and rendering him utterly immobile!
"You have let this planet down."
Under the dim sky, the old Batman with outstretched wings flung out four Batman, firmly pinning the soul of Beckett to the mechanical pillar rising from the sea level!
"You should come down too."
Seeing this, Diana couldn't help but scoff and threw Hela directly next to Beckett.
"Cough cough..."
Hela coughed, staggered to her feet, and glanced at Beckett beside her, whose spiritual form was clearly beginning to dim. "Hey, how did these people die this time?"
"I destroyed their N52 Planet."
Beckett opened his eyes and watched as the last man in the red cloak landed in front of him, panting.
The anger of being defeated by a former adversary gradually rose to its peak with each gasp.
"Then, they all turned to ashes."
Crackling sounds...
Golden Flash began to dance across Beckett's body again, much to Hela's astonishment.
The moment the faint golden hair appeared on Beckett's body, cracks appeared on his soul form under the sudden increase in power.
It started on the face and quickly spread to the limbs!
"Hey! Beckett!!!"
I'm working overtime, and I'm absolutely not making any promises to update next month...
