His Highness Beckett, Prepare for Your Arrival

Frigga hung up the call because she knew that Thanos's path was no longer viable.

One wrong step in this matter can lead to a series of wrong steps.

She has no one to blame but herself. If anyone should be blamed, it's herself for not being strong enough in the first place. If she had insisted that Odin tell Hela the truth, perhaps none of this would have happened.

"Frigga."

Frigga's heart tightened with worry as the white-haired Odin, clad in golden armor, slowly emerged from behind the throne.

"Odin?"

What are you doing here?

"Didn't you go to Midgard?"

Frigga seemed a little flustered.

She clearly remembered that Odin, because Thor had not returned in time, intended to break the peace treaty he had made with Agamotto and go to Midgard himself.

But now...

"You went to find Thanos," the aged Odin replied, seemingly ignoring the question.

"Odin, I—"

"Heimdall told me."

Frigga's prepared explanation was immediately swallowed back down.

"Frigga, I told you, I would handle this personally." Odin sighed, looking at his wife who couldn't utter a word.

"No, you will die, Odin." Frigga knew her husband's condition better than anyone else.

Odin is currently in a state of forced awakening from the "Odin's Sleep," and his chances of winning against Beckett, who has just returned and unleashed tremendous power, are extremely slim.

Not to mention, having learned from his previous experience, Thanos will definitely hand over the Infinity Stones he possesses to Beckett to prevent him from repeating the same mistake.

"Don't worry, Frigga, I won't die."

"Besides, we also have Thor."

"Don't forget, Thor's talent far surpasses that of his father."

With one arm around his wife, Odin gently stroked her forehead with his chin, a smile playing on his lips as he spoke of Thor.

Having learned from his experience raising Hela, Odin raised his second child very carefully and successfully.

"Odin ..."

"We are not on the same side as Thanos, so wait for my good news, Frigga."

"After we've dealt with Beckett, I'll let Thor officially ascend the throne of Asgard. The two of us will go to Vanaheim, to your hometown, and find a quiet place to live."

"I assure you."

"...Hmm." Frigga had no choice but to believe.

This is a promise made by Odin.

"And what about Hela?"

"I will handle it, trust me." Odin's gaze turned upwards towards the palace.

Behind the murals that symbolize peace in the Nine Realms lies the carnage and bloodshed once led by Odin and Hela.

His daughter, Hela, the Asgard goddess of death, must never be released.

Although the decision was cruel, Odin had no other choice.

Having been imprisoned for over a thousand years, he knew very well how his daughter's personality would be distorted.

It was his fault, and he will take responsibility, but only he can bear it alone.

It has nothing to do with others.

Earth, U. S. airspace, aboard the S.H.I.E.L.D.. mothership.

Nick Fury, the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.., sat in the conference room, listening to Coulson explain to the Avengers he recognized that Loki had invaded S.H.I.E.L.D..'s Dark Energy Research Institute.

Tony Stark, the Iron Man, is a genius billionaire, a former arms tycoon, and now a new energy tycoon.

Steve Rogers, an American soldier, a former spiritual icon, and now a human being from the "old era" who has only recently awakened.

There's also Dr. Banner, who transforms into the Hulk by using anger, Hawkeye, and Black Widow Natasha Romanoff, both trained by S.H.I.E.L.D..

Finally, let's add another foreign aid from Asgard — Thor.

These are the members of Nick Fury's original Avengers plan.

Everyone is here today.

"Okay, so now you mean our enemy is an ancient monster that existed as far back as Ancient Egypt?"

"Excuse me, do you know how long the history of Ancient Egypt civilization is? 3000 BC, are you sure?"

Tony Stark, having popped a pinch of blueberries into his mouth, pointed at the two stone statues displayed on the screen behind Coulson, his debauchery undiminished.

An ancient monster that has lived for five thousand years?

"More than five thousand years is just your Earth's way of calculating time."

"In fact, judging from the inscription on the stone tablet, this Beckett should be like my sister whom I never met, active around two thousand years ago, according to the cosmic calendar."

"This lifespan is not unusual."

Nick Fury, the king of spies, personally intervened to persuade Tony Hammer God Thor, who was almost fooled into believing the truth, and corrected Tony Stark's remarks.

"How old are you?"

"1,600 years old".

Tony Stark lost his grip on the blueberry in his mouth and it fell onto the conference table with a soft thud.

"I have a question: why was your sister made into a stone statue by the Ancient Egypt two thousand years ago, along with this Beckett? And why is your brother Loki involved with this Beckett?"

Before he could feel angry, Banner calmly asked, "If we knew the secret behind this, it wouldn't be impossible to develop corresponding weapons."

"I don't know. I've contacted my father, but he didn't say anything."

"He just told me to bring Loki back to Asgard."

Thor felt a sense of joy deep down when his goal for coming to Earth changed from bringing back the Space Stone to bringing back Loki.

He was overjoyed that his brother Loki was not dead.

"In short, we'd better find Loki as soon as possible. Whether it's the Space Stone or Beckett, Loki is clearly the key."

Natasha, with her wavy red hair, brought up Loki's face.

"Furthermore, we have no clue about the Dark Order that Loki mentioned."

Thor, who had never been fond of searching for secret texts since childhood, was completely unfamiliar with the term "Dark Order".

The Centaurus Galaxy is far from the Nine Realms ruled by Odin, so Thor, who has never been in contact with the Centaurus Galaxy in his entire life, naturally had no way of knowing about it.

"And where is Loki?" Tony Stark's nonchalant smile vanished.

"The last location was here." Coulson reached out and circled a location on the screen behind him.

That location was found using the locator on Maria Hill.

Meanwhile, in space, The Other, having returned to the Dark Order base, respectfully approached Beckett, who was currently monitoring the Rocket he had sent back to Xandar.

The Xandarians imprisoned it, along with that space pirate Star-Lord.

"Your His Highness Beckett."

"Speak." Beckett, leaning back in his chair, didn't even glance at The Other.

"Loki's message is that he has found the Space Stone and will be able to open a spatial portal soon."

"Your His Highness Beckett, please prepare for your arrival."

"Oh?" Beckett raised an eyebrow, finally shifting his gaze from the surveillance video to his subordinate.

The Others were all smiles.

Finally, after more than a thousand years, he was able to celebrate His Highness Beckett's arrival and conquest once again!

Sure enough, when I said I was quitting and wouldn't change anything, the client started agreeing to use the second version again...

I f***ing...

No extra update today, we're having a party tonight to celebrate finishing this task!

I did the math, and including the two chapters I owed yesterday, I owe a total of 17 chapters. I've already paid back eight chapters, which means I still owe nine chapters.

17-8=9.

There are still 9 chapters left to pay back, which isn't much. I'll pay back one chapter a day, and it'll be all paid off by the end of the month (with a straight face).
