King's Arrival! Celebrate!
"He's pretty fast."
Loki's notification was somewhat unexpected for Beckett.
Is this second prince of Asgard really so convinced of his own worth?
Not making the slightest movement?
Beckett was somewhat skeptical.
Although Loki was not Odin's biological son, Beckett thought he was quite similar to Odin, especially in that repulsive aura he possessed.
Would someone like this just obediently hand over the Space Stone?
Loki's unexpected move rendered Beckett 'Loki backup plan useless in an instant.
"I suppose it's because of Your Highness His Highness Beckett."
"Loki is afraid because of the unparalleled strength that Your His Highness Beckett has displayed."
"He is well aware of the vast difference between himself and Your His Highness Beckett, so he dares not harbor any ulterior motives."
The Other, with a beaming smile, could easily spout flattery.
He had been waiting for this situation for over a thousand years.
Beckett was already used to The Other's attitude, didn't say anything, but got up and walked towards where Thanos was.
Before leaving, he wanted to inform his adoptive father.
"Wait a minute, Woz, what are you doing here?" The Other, suppressing his joy, watched Beckett leave before noticing the other robot cat standing next to the butler Gates in the side hall.
Woz, Beckett's dedicated combat AI assistant.
The Other found it strange. Generally, Woz wouldn't show up on Gates' turf.
"I'm having Gates update me with the latest program information."
Woz returned without even looking up, holding a copy of "The Complete Collection of Beckett's Congratulatory Lines".
It has been away from this universe for over a thousand years, and some of its hardware and information collection still need Gates to help it update.
After all, it can't very well bother Thanos or Beckett, can it?
"What's this?"
"The Complete Collection of Beckett's Congratulatory Lines? Woz, how do you have this book?!" Upon seeing the words on the book cover, The Other's alarm bells went off immediately.
Danger!
Extremely dangerous!
That little bitch Woz wants to steal his job?!
"Didn't you, Lord The Other, voluntarily transcribe it for me?" Woz blinked his innocent big eyes, his honest and cute face full of an expression of complete ignorance.
[I fucking swear!]
"This is my job," The Other said through gritted teeth.
"In fact, during the time you were away from His Highness Beckett, it was I who sang His Highness Beckett praises."
"In other words, this is also my job."
Closing the book, Woz, having completed the final hardware update, leaped off the chair with his short legs.
The Other felt that their position had been challenged.
There is even a risk of losing your job.
"I'm the real professional." The Other left angrily; he needed to return to Chitauri Prime to muster his soldiers first.
More than a thousand years later, the concept of a workplace crisis first came to his mind.
Just after The Other left the Dark Order, Beckett also came to Thanos's side.
"Father."
Beckett bowed and respectfully greeted the figure on the throne.
"What's wrong?"
Thanos, who was reviewing the planetary observer's report, paused upon hearing this, and his gaze immediately fell on Beckett.
"Loki has found the Space Stone, and he will soon open the Space Tunnel."
"In Midgard?"
"Yes," Beckett nodded.
"I understand. I'll hold off the Ancient One." Thanos, as her father, will naturally do his utmost to help his son's revenge plan as it is about to begin.
"I will not let you down, Father." Beckett's eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty light.
Odin, wash my neck clean and wait.
Earth, USA, New York, Times Square.
The place was bustling with noise.
However, it wasn't the bustling activity and noise of a vibrant city, but rather the panicked escape and screams of panic.
Having made thorough preparations, Loki brazenly displayed his divine countenance on the giant screen in Times Square.
His men, whom he brought from the Dark Matter Research Institute, were clearing the area, or rather, forcing everyone to kneel.
Kneel down before him.
"I'm saying this one last time."
Kneel down!
"Now, face me."
Loki, holding the Mind Scepter, stands atop the Times Square building, his voice carrying throughout the entire Times Square district.
Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sudden explosion and the destruction of the neighborhood in an instant caused the humans, who still had a sliver of hesitation, to abandon the gold inlaid on their knees and kneel down toward Loki atop the plaza building.
"It really is interesting."
Loki, looking down from above, closed his eyes, feeling the gentle breeze caressing his face, and his smile grew even more unrestrained.
"Loki!!!"
Bang!
A fierce and domineering Flash descended from the sky, and Thor, wielding Mjolnir, landed smoothly on the rooftop of the building without shattering a single stone.
"My dear brother, we meet again."
Loki remained completely calm despite having someone behind him, turned around and stared intently at the man in front of him.
This is his older brother, Thor, who grew up with him since childhood.
"Come back with me, Loki."
"Father already knows that you are not dead."
"Believe me, this time, you can return to Asgard openly and legitimately as the Son of Odin." Thor felt a mix of emotions as he watched his younger brother, whom he thought was already under the Bifrost, reappear before him, lively and energetic.
He knew that his younger brother had simply become extreme in his thinking and gone astray.
He is not beyond saving.
And he, Thor, as Loki's brother, wanted to save him.
"No, I am not Thor, the Son of Odin."
"I am Laufey's son, I am the king of the Frost Giant of Jotunheim!"
A flash of blue light appeared on Loki's exposed skin.
"Excuse me, gentlemen. Obviously, we have no interest in your family matters for the time being." The bright red Iron Man also descended from the sky. Tony Stark's flamboyant voice clearly showed that he had not yet experienced the harsh realities of life.
"Hand over the Tesseract, Loki."
"Otherwise, you might die a horrible death." Barton Natasha, the two useless duo from S.H.I.E.L.D.., along with the invincible Hulk's human form Dr. Banner, and the former American icon Steve Rogers, pushed open the rooftop door.
He raised his gun, the dark muzzle pointed at Loki was clearly emboldened.
He was panting heavily, clearly having run up through the emergency exit.
"The Tesseract?"
"Sorry, it was already reserved by a terrifying being before you." Facing the capture team led by his own brother, Loki even had the leisure to tidy his clothes.
"Beckett? Who is he, Loki? Why are you involved with him?" Thor asked seriously, swinging his hammer.
"It's quite rare that someone like you who never reads any secret histories would know about Beckett. I bet that biased old man Odin told you, didn't he?" Loki's eyes suddenly turned incredibly gloomy when he mentioned Odin.
"Loki!"
"Want to know who he is? Then go ask him yourselves." Loki's mocking gaze swept over everyone present before he tossed the Mind Scepter into the air.
Clang!
As if receiving a command, the gem embedded at the top of the Mind Scepter suddenly emitted a dazzling light!
Boom!!!!
An immense energy shockwave erupted from beneath Times Square in New York, blasting a massive hole in the azure sky.
Outside the gap, countless alien warships stood ready to go.
"That is?!"
Countless spaceships passed through the gap in an orderly fashion and floated above New York City. Then, like stars surrounding the moon, they brought a figure into the world's view.
"Celebrate!"
"The great Son of Titan! His Highness His Highness Beckett, the revered Lord of Chitauri Prime!"
"This is the moment for the King's Arrival supreme!"
