When the Rain Passed and the Sky Cleared, Thor Felt Capable Again
At this moment, the flow of time seemed to be affected by the Time Stone, becoming incredibly slow.
At least that's how Beckett sees it.
My heart pounded uncontrollably, and the image of Hela holding up her marriage proposal token came into clear view.
"What, you disagree?" Against the backdrop of the magnificent starry sky, Hela's mocking smile was particularly striking.
"Listen, Beckett, I'm not going to concern myself with what happened between you and that Mera because I was sealed away at the time and my fate was unknown."
"But now, I'm back."
"So, no one can take you away from me anymore, do you understand what I mean?"
The sterling silver earrings gleamed in Hela's hands, and Beckett's lack of reaction was clearly within her expectations.
Standing on tiptoe, Hela deliberately placed the earring on Beckett's earlobe.
"It looks much better now that it's symmetrical." Hela looked at her masterpiece with satisfaction.
Beckett already had the Thanos had given him on his left earlobe, which was used to absorb the dimensional power from her. Now, Hela had added the empty space for her right earring.
It's perfect.
"Then why aren't you making a move?" On Hela's outstretched palm, there was still an earring left.
The meaning is quite clear: I also want symmetry.
"I have no interest in conquering the universe." Beckett, finally regaining his senses, looked at Hela's smiling face and refused with a sneer. But his hands didn't falter at all; under Hela's watchful gaze, he completed the symmetrical work on the earrings.
"I know you're only interested in killing Frieza right now." Even after more than a thousand years, Hela still hasn't forgotten the figure and the name she saw when she touched Beckett's soul in the Time Training Grounds of Agamotto.
"But don't forget, in your memory he is the Cosmic Emperor."
"This also means that he controls the resources of an entire universe, and it won't be easy for you to surpass him."
"Unless, you also possess the resources of an entire universe."
Hela's analysis is both rational and realistic.
An emperor who possesses the resources of an entire universe doesn't seem like someone who can be easily defeated.
"You once said that you wanted to become the Strongest Warrior in the Universe."
"I can help you, provided you can join me in conquering this universe." The Asgard Queen's ambition was laid bare at this moment.
"After conquering this universe, you will gather all its resources for your own use. At that time, you will truly become the Strongest Warrior in the Universe."
All of this came from Hela's heart.
With Asgard and the Dark Order joining forces, the entire universe will submit to the couple.
At that time, even if we use all the power of the universe, would we still be afraid of not being able to surpass that so-called Cosmic Emperor Frieza?
"I know, but not now." Beckett shook his head.
"Why?"
"Darkseid has come, an enemy I defeated in another universe. He has waged war against us, relying on the coordinates I left behind and the guidance of your brother Loki."
"The people you met in Midgard were guardians of another universe, including Mera."
"But now it seems they've all been controlled by Darkseid and become his vanguard..."
Beckett pressed the silver ring on his wrist, and images of Darkseid and the Justice League immediately appeared in Hela's view.
Standing amidst the magnificent starry sky, Beckett recounted his past events one by one.
"His target is me. And this time, I will definitely kill him."
The image disappears when one hand is clenched into a fist.
Beckett's eyes gleamed with a frenzied killing intent, which sent a chill down Hela's spine.
These were things she had never heard of before.
"Kill him?"
"How do you know he might be using an avatar again this time?" Hela asked casually, still processing the sudden news of the war.
"If it's a clone, then I will find his real body."
"Definitely."
This was the first time in Beckett's life that he had suffered such "injustice".
A cross-universe manhunt?
Do you really think he's so good-natured that he can just kill a clone as a sacrifice and be done with it?
He's not Beckett if he doesn't have Darkseid's brains splattered out!
"I understand. Then let's get married after this war is over." Hela wasn't one to argue or be unreasonable; choosing to get married with a formidable enemy at hand was indeed not a wise decision.
"However, there's something I need to make clear to you."
Hela's tone shifted abruptly, her expression turning cold. "I know that woman named Mera is still alive, so if she blocks my way again, I will kill her."
"If she hasn't given up on you, I will kill her too."
The proud Queen of Asgard would not allow a third party to interfere in her relationships.
Absolutely not allowed.
"She won't remember me."
Beckett's expression remained unchanged as he gripped the Time Stone tightly, preparing to leave. But the next second, he felt a strong tremor!
"???"
Beckett turned around abruptly. The starry sky background of the royal palace had disappeared, and Hela, who had styled her hair into a fighting style, also looked at him.
Asgard, does it still experience earthquakes?
"Roar!!!!"
A piercing roar, deafening!
This time, the roar of the Demon Dragon Nidhogg was no longer something only Thor could hear.
All the residents of Asgard put down what they were doing and looked up at the sky, which had been dyed red by some unknown energy in an instant!
"My power... is being suppressed?"
Hela's story is quite magical.
Standing on the land of Asgard, her power should have been limitless, but now she found that her connection with Asgard was gradually weakening.
"Beckett!"
Thump!!
A giant axe, accompanied by a deafening roar, descended from the sky and crashed down in front of Beckett!
The axe handle was covered in jet-black dragon scales, and its sharp edge made Hela feel an unprecedented sense of danger.
As the smoke and dust cleared, Thor, who had been kneeling on one knee, slowly stood up, his bulging muscles crackling with lightning.
Beneath his short, golden hair, his jet-black eyes looked particularly eerie!
"Oh, so you didn't die on Sakaar?"
Beckett raised an eyebrow, crossed his feet, and stomped the ground!
Boom!!!
The arrogant golden aura suddenly surged!
He destroyed the entire Sakaar, yet Thor is still alive.
"I told you, you will pay for what you have done, Beckett."
Thor wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth caused by energy overload, gripped the giant axe inlaid with black dragon scales in one hand, and burned with a vengeful fire in his ink-black eyes that could incinerate everything.
This is the power he has recently acquired, the power he obtained after making a deal with the Demon Dragon Nidhogg.
It is a power strong enough to suppress Hela's connection with Asgard.
The rain stopped, the sky cleared, Thor felt he was back to his old self.
"You?"
Beckett scoffed, raising two fingers of his right hand at him with a mocking smile, "You're 20,000 years too early to defeat me."
