Mera and Gamora Want to Be Teachers
Most people believe that everything should be done in a first-come, first-served manner.
However, love is something that can overturn most people's perceptions.
It is mysterious and profound.
Some people fall in love at first sight, while others develop feelings over time.
Mera didn't know which category she belonged to. If you call it love at first sight, she didn't have any romantic feelings for Beckett at first. She was just interested in him after hearing Woz's love stories.
Saying that feelings develop over time doesn't seem quite right.
Mera pondered for a moment, and realized that the first time she developed feelings for Beckett was that night when he single-handedly wiped out Steppenwolf's minions under the moonlight right in front of her.
Beckett, with his formidable strength and a fairytale-like approach, left a lasting impression on her.
The second time, even though he had already left, he saved her from Steppenwolf's axe with the almost absurd reason of "being short of money."
The third time, upon hearing her plea for help, he smashed up the Zebel Palace and once again rescued her with unparalleled Kami power.
Of course, what Mera the most was Beckett's words on the beach.
Why would you, an elite member of royalty, place your hopes for changing everything on someone else?
Those words completely awakened Mera and ignited Mera affection.
Overwhelmed with emotion, she gave the first kiss in her life to someone other than a family member.
She didn't even know if what she did was right or wrong, but she followed her heart and did it anyway.
She liked Beckett; she had feelings for Beckett. While it wasn't love, at the very least, she didn't want to miss out on Beckett.
Good feelings are the foundation of love, Mera felt that since she had developed feelings for him, she should make a straightforward move.
Although Beckett couldn't speak, and although he often wore a cold expression.
He also likes to talk about his father quite often.
But Mera thought Beckett was quite cute like this.
Especially when he solemnly accepted my three hundred dollars.
"Beckett."
"Explain."
"Can you tell me about Hela? I'm curious about how you got engaged."
"Roll."
"Beckett? Hey, Beckett, wait for me!"
Mera quickly caught up with Beckett and temporarily gave up the idea of learning about Hela.
[Ms. Mera, Woz advises you not to inquire of His Highness Beckett about Ms. Hela.]
[His Highness Beckett's approach to romance with Lady Hela is not suitable for you.]
The light screen that suddenly appeared in front of Mera made her stop asking questions.
Mera remembered it; Woz's Asgard love story was the main reason she was interested in Beckett from the start.
Having seen through everything, and even in control of everything, Woz held a small notebook in the bracelet space, pretending to push up his glasses, and recorded Beckett's every move.
His Highness Beckett encountered a setback and needs comforting.
Mera was Woz's chosen candidate.
It tells Beckett that the Mother Box can open a portal to the Multiverse, but it doesn't mention that this method has a chance of failure.
Moreover, the chances of failure are not low.
If Beckett fails, then Mera will be the best person to appease him.
If it succeeds... then Woz won't have to worry about Mera anymore.
In the end, it was just a robot devoid of emotion, designed solely for Beckett's benefit.
"Woz, how far are we from our destination?"
Woz jumped off the small chair, his data projection appearing outside the bracelet space, as he flipped through the book in his hand.
"Your His Highness Beckett, according to this Collection of Obscure Myths, there was once a legend about Golden Trident circulating in the sea area 1,600 meters ahead."
The Woz Archive, which previously hacked "the whole world" at the Kansas State Library, contains a wealth of information.
The golden trident that Mera described has also been the subject of some scattered legends.
However, this legend is very old and exists only in a myth database created by a writer in this small town.
If it weren't for Woz, Mera herself probably wouldn't have been able to find any region related to the legend of the Golden Trident even after searching for half her life.
Only...
Can folk myths and legends really be used as reference materials?
Mera still harbored some doubts.
"Let's go."
Unlike Mera, Beckett had complete trust in Woz.
"Alright, let's find a place to stay first, Beckett."
"It's already so late. Even if we get there, no one will be able to answer our questions."
Mera looked up at the crescent moon hanging high in the sky, sighed, and turned to ask.
"Whatever," Beckett said, having no objections.
All he needed to do was keep Mera safe.
Before he can collect all three Mother Boxes, he must make sure Steppenwolf doesn't come knocking on Mera's door again to interrogate her about where the Mother Boxes are hidden.
"Boss, do you have any rooms left?"
Mera led Beckett into a hotel, or rather, a motel, on the outskirts of the town.
The receptionist was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, chubby, with a kind and honest smile.
"Yes... yes, but there's only one left, you..." The honest-looking owner saw Mera blinking at him frantically, smiled knowingly, and asked.
"One room is fine too." Mera didn't even ask Beckett's opinion, because she knew that the man beside her had absolutely no idea about these things.
She had already subtly probed and gotten pretty much a piece of the story about men and women these past few days.
He already has a fiancée and is about to get married, but they haven't even kissed yet. Tsk tsk tsk.
Mera really wanted to be a teacher.
Meanwhile, on the seabed, at the Mother Box storage location.
Because Mera has completely left home, the Mother Box's protective power has weakened.
When the teleportation array that had alarmed King of Zebel Nereus of Zebel dissipated, the place was littered with corpses.
The Mother Box has also disappeared.
"Lord Thanos, everything is ready."
Somewhere in the universe, the flagship of the Dark Order slowly landed on a planet.
An orange Energy Devouring Beast perched respectfully on The Other's shoulder as he accompanied Thanos and Ebony Maw off the warship.
The vast plaza was packed with people on both sides, leaving a narrow passageway in the middle. Dark Order soldiers, armed with weapons, pointed their guns at the native inhabitants of the planet.
"Um?"
Thanos saw a little girl standing in the aisle, looking lost and helpless after being pushed out of the crowd.
There was no fear, no anger, she just shrank back slightly and looked at him timidly.
After all these years, this is the first time he has encountered a child of this age who has shown such "composure".
"I'm sorry, Lord Thanos, I'll do it right away—" The Other hurriedly bowed and apologized, but Thanos stopped him with a gesture.
He walked towards the girl step by step, but she remained unfazed.
So he took her hand and led her to the pavilion.
"What's your name, child?"
"Gamora".
My head hurts from drinking so much. ╯▂╰
I lay there until this afternoon...
I'm still feeling dizzy and lightheaded. I'll pick up my car on the Android 19 and catch up on the late update on the Android 20. ()
