Pursuing Thrills to the Very End
"What should we do?"
As a valiant general of the Nova Corps, Roman Day had witnessed the legendary "Ten Thousand Foes" in the universe. In fact, their Xandar was currently planning to create a template warrior similar to the "Ten Thousand Foes".
However, he always believed that the so-called "Ten Thousand Foes" would have limited effect in a real cosmic war. After all, apart from the supreme gods, no one in this universe should be able to change the course of a war single-handedly.
But now, Roman Day realizes he was wrong.
Not only was it wrong, it was ridiculously wrong.
Not counting the [Cosmic Gang] legion that Hela intercepted, just consider the portion that Beckett single-handedly wiped out. According to calculations by the Planetary Observation Department's telescopes, that was a terrifying number equivalent to five elite legions of the Kree Empire!
What does the organization of the Kree Empire's five elite legions mean?
To put it simply, the Kree Empire's elite legions, renowned throughout the universe, could easily invade and occupy a civilized planet, even if they were only a single army group.
Even highly advanced civilizations are not unconquerable; generally, three elite legions are enough to take them down.
The Kree Empire's terrifying military strength is also the reason why they were able to surpass the Skrull Empire and become one of the most powerful empires in the universe in a "brief" period of time.
In fact, the reason why Xandar has been able to maintain its relationship with the Kree Empire for so long is not only because the Nova Corps itself is quite powerful, but also because the Kree Empire is fighting on two fronts.
With the Skrull Empire drawing most of the Kree Empire's attention, Xandar was naturally able to thrive between the two empires thanks to its own strength.
But what about now?
The equivalent of five elite legions was wiped out in three minutes?!
Is the "Cosmic Gang" too weak or Beckett too strong?
Even if the "Cosmic Gang" is weak, the personnel and warship configuration of five army groups is real and tangible!
But he couldn't last three minutes against Beckett...
Doesn't that mean if Beckett were determined to destroy a highly advanced planetary civilization and went all out, it would only take him three minutes?
This is terrifying...
Thinking of this, Roman Day couldn't help but shudder.
He suddenly remembered that just three minutes earlier, Xandar's Planetary Defense System had also fired upon Beckett.
"Pass the word! Order all inhabitants of the planet to enter a state of emergency evacuation!"
"Quick!"
"Immediately! Right now!"
The future Nova Prime [Nova Plame] had obviously thought of this as well, and without hesitation, she issued a global emergency evacuation order!
Judging from Beckett's actions on the screen—going to cause trouble for another "Cosmic Gang"—it's hard to say whether Beckett will refrain from taking action against Xandar.
Once the fight begins, given the strength this man has demonstrated, Xandar have absolutely no chance of resistance.
Unless the Star Core is detonated, he will perish together with Beckett.
That was definitely not the scenario Nova Plame wanted to see.
She is the future leader of this planet, and her duty is to make this planet's future better, not to personally destroy all life on this planet, including herself.
But are their Planetary Defense System really effective?
As the current leader of the planet, Nova Plame began to doubt Xandar's once-proud Planetary Defense System.
Really, can they stop Beckett?
If not, what should she do?
In the vast universe, Beckett, standing atop the wreckage of the warship, slowly exhaled, his bloodthirsty gaze, like that of Beast, then turned toward the direction where Hela was.
There, a [Cosmic Gang] awaits his disposal.
Unlike Beckett's previous display of strength, Hela, whose power was not as great as Beckett's, was clearly unable to crush the massive Skrull fleet with overwhelming force.
Comparatively speaking, Hela looked more disheveled.
She wasn't standing on Asgard soil, and she didn't have an unlimited supply of magic. Relying solely on her own energy reserves, it would be a pipe dream to do what Beckett did.
However, despite her disheveled state, Hela still managed to do it.
He single-handedly delayed the departure of the fleet, and the dense, seemingly endless array of weapons greatly annoyed the Skrulls commander.
Sizzle!
Boom!
Boom!!!
Three minutes later, the blonde figure arrived as promised, and the energy blasts, so dense they were almost tangible, destroyed one obstacle after another in Beckett's path.
"Well done."
He reached out and embraced Hela's slender waist, his arms descending from the sky to rescue Hela from the endless barrage of artillery fire.
"That's really rare."
Upon hearing this, Hela's eyes flashed with surprise. "Can I take your words as a compliment?"
It's as if the Asgard sun has risen in the south! Beckett's mouth, which she thought would only provoke her, has surprisingly affirmed her.
"No." Beckett's energy shield loosened slightly under the impact of various firepower.
"Soft?" Hela's question left Beckett puzzled.
"Let go when you've had enough hugging."
The next second, Hela was grabbed by the arm and flung away by Beckett!
"..."
Hela, having regained her balance, wanted to curse, but the good upbringing she had received over the past twenty years prevented her from uttering a curse. Otherwise, she would have definitely shown this man what the art of language was.
"The final chapter has ended."
Amidst the countless terrified gazes of the Skrulls, a surging torrent of energy instantly engulfed the panicked fleet!
Brilliant fireworks soared into the sky behind Beckett, the sparks scattering and creating a magnificent and captivating display of color on the man's blond hair...
"Tsk."
Hela crossed her arms over her chest and clicked her tongue in disdain, but Beckett's golden-haired Kami figure was still firmly imprinted in her mind and could not be forgotten.
"Your His Highness Beckett, the gene analysis and comparison results are complete."
"The enemy that attacked you was not the so-called 'Cosmic Gang'."
Controlling the spaceship with its two damaged engines, they flew to Beckett and Hela, and the Artificial Intelligence Woz presented the results it had analyzed from the corpses on the battlefield.
The Kree and the Skrulls.
Both factions are using the guise of the "Cosmic Gang".
"?"
Hela was puzzled and instinctively looked at Beckett.
Both imperial fleets were chasing him relentlessly.
"Is it that exciting?"
What did you do to them?
Recalling the overwhelming barrage of firepower just minutes before, Hela felt lingering fear but couldn't help feeling curious.
"Exciting?" Beckett glanced at Hela, not wanting to speak.
"Based on facial recognition analysis, the Kree Empire has preliminarily determined that Beckett may have killed the father of a Supreme Accuser. The Skrull Empire is unable to analyze the data due to a lack of information."
Hela: "..."
No wonder it's the hatred of killing one's father.
Wait a minute, so you're saying she was just a dispensable freebie that was included along the way?
Hela realized it instantly.
"In a sense, you're right, Miss Hela."
Woz, after a calm analysis, confirmed Hela's status as a gift.
"Hey, Hela, do you like thrills?"
Hela, who had been caught in the Hela for no reason, glared at Beckett with hostility. "What?"
"Would you like to visit Hala, the Kree's homeworld?"
As if he had thought of something amusing, Beckett's lips suddenly curled into a smile.
"Are you crazy? The Kree's homeworld must be heavily armed—" Hela's rebuttal was abruptly cut short. Having caught up with Beckett's train of thought, she clearly understood Beckett's idea.
"Interesting." Biting her slightly dry red lips, Hela's heart began to beat faster than usual.
"What about the Skrull Empire?"
"Do you dare to go?" Beckett raised an eyebrow in surprise upon hearing this.
"Of course, in the name of the [Cosmic Gang]." Hela sneered, a bloodthirsty glint in her eyes.
Since we're after excitement, we should go all the way.
She is known as the Asgard Goddess of Death, but not only because of the Death Divinity within her.
