Celebrate! The Great Lord of the Dark Order, the Legendary Super Saiyan God!
Everything is now clear.
The message Thanos left behind before his death was enough to resolve all of Beckett's doubts.
Extreme emotions can be the catalyst for a breakthrough.
"Beckett ..."
Mera looked at her beloved with worry in her eyes.
She wanted to comfort him, but couldn't find a topic to start with.
She also once committed acts of "killing her father" because of her ideals and persistence. Should we use this as a starting point?
"I'm fine."
Beckett, snapping out of his reverie, interrupted Mera's thoughts, "Woz, find the Grandmaster's location."
"Yes, Your His Highness Beckett!"
Woz was startled upon receiving the order and immediately made a guarantee.
If it were the old Woz, trying to mobilize various information resources to determine the location of the Grandmaster without sufficient authority would have been a complete pipe dream.
But things are different now.
Woz has been promoted to the new leading AI in the Dark Order, and can mobilize all information resources.
"Beckett, what are you doing?"
Mera frowned, completely unfamiliar with the name "The Grandmaster".
Although Beckett's command was calm, she sensed something was amiss.
"Since the old era has passed, there is no need for those high and mighty gods of the old era to exist anymore."
A chilling killing intent gathered in Beckett's eyes, his white hair fluttering in the wind, complementing the moonlight above Titan.
Cheers!
Ding~
Inside the brightly lit hall, spring was in full bloom.
The alluring scenery, half-hidden and half-revealed, clearly failed to attract the hearty laughter of the figure on the throne, yet she still danced with all her might.
"One last question."
"How can you be so sure that Thanos won't come after you after he gets the Heart of the Universe?"
"With Thanos's intelligence, he couldn't possibly have been unaware of this."
The Collector who are also adept at surviving are still somewhat uneasy.
He was truly traumatized by Thanos back then, and even now he can't forget that unforgettable pain.
"Even if he guessed it, so what?"
The Grandmaster smiled coldly and finished his wine.
"Thanos has his own principles and a goal that is laughable."
"I sent him the message from the Heart of the Universe to help him achieve everything he wanted in a better state. Shouldn't he thank me?"
"Moreover, the appearance of the Heart of the Universe signifies the end of an era."
"Even if Thanos gets it, he will eventually give it up for other reasons, or he may end his own life."
"This is the law governing the operation of the universe, and no one can avoid it."
"We just need to wait here and watch the show."
The carefree the Grandmaster held his newly refilled wine cup, his joy at having avenged his great grudge evident in his expression.
Darkseid, who ignited the intercosmic war, will surely be defeated and forced to retreat by Thanos, who has obtained the Heart of the Universe. At that time, this universe will return to the atmosphere familiar to the Grandmaster.
Absolutely perfect.
"Oh?"
"Yeah?"
The Grandmaster, immersed in his beautiful dream of the blueprint, seemed to have been doused with a bucket of cold water from head to toe. The voice that suddenly rang in everyone's ears in the hall was so cold that it sent chills down their spines.
"Who?!"
The Grandmaster felt that the voice sounded familiar, and a sense of foreboding suddenly arose in his heart.
"Tread..."
"Tread..."
"Tread..."
The newcomer did not reply, but the sound of his boots hitting the ground continued.
The Grandmaster and the Collector exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of fear in each other's eyes.
"Squeak..."
The ancient gate was pushed open by two figures, one tall and one short. A man in golden armor and a woman in magnificent royal robes walked towards the main hall under the dim starlight.
The man is handsome, and the woman is beautiful.
"Beckett ..."
The Grandmaster and the Collector brothers' faces instantly darkened.
They completely ignored Mera, who was standing behind Beckett holding the Golden Trident.
"How is this possible...?"
The Grandmaster shook his head, finding it hard to accept the fact that was unfolding before him.
Beckett should be the one who died, how could he still be alive?
"My father is dead."
"Because of the Heart of the Universe."
Beckett stood at the doorway, looked up at the two figures on the throne in the main hall, and said calmly.
"?!"
The simple explanation of the result caused the Grandmaster and the Collector to lose all composure and exclaim in shock, "Impossible!"
"Nothing is impossible for me."
"Now, it's your turn."
Beckett raised his right hand and snapped his the Snap front of everyone.
Snap!
Those women, who were half-covered, vanished without a trace in an instant!
A gust of wind blew in from outside the gate, raising the wrinkles at the corners of the Grandmaster's eyes and wiping the cold sweat from the Collector's forehead.
"Impossible!"
"That's impossible!"
"How could you possibly break through the limitations of the universe's rules?!"
"You can't become a god!!!"
After a brief silence came the almost hysterical roar of the Grandmaster Venerable, who had lost his composure.
He didn't believe it! He didn't believe it! He didn't believe it!
"Ignorance."
"Conservative."
"Paranoia".
"The dregs of the old era should indeed be eliminated."
Beckett put his hands back behind his back, quietly enjoying the final moments of madness of the two brothers.
"The Heart of the Universe will never acknowledge you!"
"Impossible!"
The Grandmaster stared wide-eyed, his eyes bloodshot.
"This is none of my business!"
"This is none of my business!"
"He did all the scheming against you and your son by himself! I know nothing, I know nothing!"
The Collector, with an extremely strong will to survive, immediately distanced himself from his brother.
"You?!" The Grandmaster Venerable was so angry he almost plucked off his stubble.
What a spineless bastard!
These are supposed to be brothers?!
That's it?!
"Have you finished speaking? Your last words?"
Looking at the two people making such a fool of themselves, Beckett asked.
"No! No Beckett! Believe me, I really don't know—"
Call out!
Beckett raised his right hand, and a beam of silver light shot from the tip of his index finger, instantly piercing the Collector's skull!
Panic caused the voices defending themselves to abruptly cease.
Their souls and spirits were annihilated, leaving them no chance of resurrection.
"Now, it's your turn."
Without even glancing at the dead the Collector, Beckett turned his gaze to the Grandmaster, whose face was grim.
"Why?"
"Why were you able to become a god?"
"Why were you able to gain the recognition of the Heart of the Universe?"
The Grandmaster Venerable was completely baffled.
He lost this battle.
But he was very unwilling to accept his defeat.
It should have been a sure win.
"I don't need to admit it."
"The rules of the old era cannot be applied to the gods of the new era."
"I am the rule-maker of the new era."
"I am destiny itself."
Beckett clenched his right fist, and the Grandmaster's bewildered body was instantly torn to pieces!
Crimson blood instantly splattered across the brightly lit, desolate hall!
"Celebrate!"
The Other, standing respectfully to one side of the gate, swung his scepter and loudly celebrated!
"The Great Lord of the Dark Order!"
"The one who will usher in a new era for the universe!"
"The Legendary Super Saiyan God, His Highness Beckett!"
