Give Me Your Hand 1/3

"What happened?"

"According to the information logs automatically transmitted by Woz, Beckett must have clashed with the large fleets of the Kree Empire and the Skrull Empire on Xandar."

Thanos's voice was calm, and it was precisely because of this calmness that Ebony Maw lowered his head even further.

He could feel the rage surging beneath Thanos's calm words.

Beckett has really messed up this time.

The Kree Empire and the Skrull Empire are so powerful that even a powerful figure like Thanos would try to avoid conflict unless absolutely necessary.

After all, his job wasn't to conquer the universe; that was Odin's job.

As a result, Beckett, who had finally been released, ended up fighting with people from the two great empires again.

What's this?

"What was the result?" Upon hearing that there were "ten elite army groups" in total, Thanos's focus immediately fell on Beckett's safety.

"Beckett single-handedly wiped out ten elite army groups."

"..."

Thanos, who seemed about to say something, changed his tone and asked, "And then? What's the deal with attacking Planet Hala?"

"Not just Planet Hala, Lord Thanos." After hesitating for a long time, Ebony Maw gritted his teeth and finally chose to tell the truth.

"According to the logs uploaded by Woz, after their rampage on Planet Hala, they also have plans to rampage on the Skrull Empire's main planet."

Clearly, Beckett, who had been targeted by both empires time and again, intended to teach both sides a lesson they would never forget.

After all, it's unrealistic to destroy two superpowers on one's own.

"Should we send troops to reinforce Beckett, Lord Thanos?"

Seeing that Thanos on the throne had not given any new orders for a long time, Ebony Maw mustered up his courage and looked up to ask a question.

"Reinforce?"

"No."

"This is his own choice, and he has to bear the consequences himself."

"He has grown up."

After pondering for a long time, Thanos, with a thousand thoughts running through his mind, finally chose to abandon the reinforcements.

Knowing you're wrong but refusing to correct it will come at a price.

He wanted to see what "surprise" his son would give him this time.

Universe, Kree Empire territory, Planet Hala.

As the current capital star of the universe's first empire, which is at its peak, the prosperity of Planet Hala is beyond doubt.

The Kree's intellectual masterpiece, the "Supreme Intelligence," known as the AI God, constantly protects the safety of Planet Hala. Even Woz, who is adept at cracking such systems, cannot find vulnerabilities to breach its defenses.

"No, Your His Highness Beckett, Woz cannot block the Supreme Intelligence's scan."

After 98,000 attempts, Woz on the spaceship finally gave up.

In its view, this was a completely futile effort.

The opponent is the Kree's intellectual creation, which has the terrifying nickname of "AI God." This combat Artificial Intelligence life form, which was simply created by Thanos, is no match for it.

The two are not even in the same league.

Whether in terms of construction or computing speed, Woz is being completely outmatched by the Supreme Intelligence.

"It seems your plans are going to fall through?"

Hela, having unbuckled her seatbelt, stood by the spaceship window, gazing at the distant territory of the Kree Empire.

To reach Planet Hala, they must first enter the territory of the Kree Empire. But they currently lack entry permits, unable to even enter this outlying corner of the Kree Empire, let alone the Hala Hala.

"Failed?"

Beckett stood up from his seat and slowly walked to Hela's side. Taking advantage of his height, he looked over Hela and gazed at the magnificent distance. An increasingly crazy idea gradually took shape in his mind.

"Would you like to try something even more exciting?"

"Um?"

Hela neither agreed nor disagreed, shrugging to indicate that she was all ears.

"Infiltrate."

"... Into the Kree Empire? You and me?"

Hela's gaze was as if she were looking at someone mentally challenged.

The Kree Empire is now undoubtedly the number one empire in the universe. Don't you have any idea how powerful its military is?

How can they even break through with this?

They'd probably be riddled with holes by the Kree's weapons before they even reached Hala!

This is a peak empire that can simultaneously rival the once-powerful Skrull Empire and wage war against Xandar, not the kind that is declining!

"The Other".

At Beckett's command, the Chitauri chieftain, holding a scepter, scurried up to Beckett and said, "Your His Highness Beckett."

"Give her the scepter."

Beckett pointed at Hela, and a flicker of hesitation crossed The Other's eyes, which then vanished immediately.

He had to obey His Highness Beckett's orders without question; this was one of the three principles The Other had set for himself.

"Uh-huh?"

"Then what?"

Hela did not refuse, accepting the Mind Scepter offered by The Other, and asked in return.

To be fair, she was also a belligerent person, Beckett's proposal, though it sounded almost absurd, undoubtedly struck a chord with her adventurous spirit.

She loves excitement, without a doubt.

"Reach out your hand and grasp the Mind Stone set at the top of the scepter as firmly as possible."

Beckett waved for The Other to leave, then turned off Woz's warning and looked at Hela with interest.

He experienced the power of Super Saiyan from the Mind Stone, and now he's curious about what Hela could gain from Mind Stone.

Are you sure?

Hela raised an eyebrow in surprise; she wasn't some clueless fool. Odin had already explained to her what the things inlaid on the scepter were.

The Mind Stone, one of the six Infinity Stones in the universe.

When did you become so long-winded?

Snap!

Beckett's verbal provocation caused Hela to slap the Mind Stone at the top of her scepter!

Without any hindrance or even any pain, Hela easily removed the gem and held it in her hand.

No unusual phenomena occurred during this process.

"Is it not okay?" Beckett, who had seen everything, narrowed his eyes, slightly disappointed.

Boom!

The next second of disappointment, the Mind Stone that Hela was holding tightly in her hand suddenly shone brightly, so brightly that it even blinded The Other for a moment!

"My body...?!"

Muttering incredulous words, Hela's face showed a look of pain.

The power within her body was expanding rapidly, and she had no way to stop it!

"Hela, give me your hand!"

"Now!"

In her dazed state, Hela heard a voice calling her name.

She instinctively reached out her hand, and the rough texture of the skin immediately flooded her senses.

Whoosh!

The energy that had been roaming aimlessly within Hela's body seemed to have found an outlet, and instantly surged toward Beckett was tightly gripping Hela's right hand!
