A Brand-New Era-Quick, Don't Let My Dad Leave (End of the Marvel Main Story Arc)
"Impossible..."
"What... what have you done?!"
Deprived of a constant supply of life force, Darkseid could no longer hide the look of panic on his face.
He was still hoping to gather more life energy to deliver a fatal blow to Beckett. Darkseid, who was certain that Beckett could not stop him in a short time, was really having a mental breakdown.
I'm so angry.
All living beings in the entire universe, except for Beckett and the robot cat beside him, have disappeared. No matter how much Darkseid plunders, the result is always emptiness.
"No..."
"No! This is impossible!!"
Darkseid's face gradually contorted as he lost the continuous supply of life force. The life force that Darkseid had previously absorbed also began to gradually dissipate over time.
Having lost his heart and the source of his life, he seemed to be about to reach the end of his life in this strange universe.
This time, Darkseid was truly panicked.
"I already said..."
"I am destiny."
"I am the only new-age god in this universe."
"No one living in this universe can defy my will."
"This will continue for the next ten thousand years."
Ten thousand years—this is the time recorded by the Heart of the Universe, belonging to the Beckett era.
Ten thousand years from now, it remains to be seen whether someone in the universe will obtain the Heart of the Universe and overthrow Beckett, ushering in a new era, or whether Beckett will continue to enjoy his current status.
The only certainty is that, right now, in this universe, Beckett's power is unmatched.
With an indifferent, even ruthless gaze, Darkseid met Darkseid's eyes. In the desolate universe where only the rotation of celestial bodies remained, Beckett raised his right hand and spread his five fingers in the direction of this Apocalypse King.
On the golden Infinity Gauntlet, the six Infinity Stones seemed to resonate with the "Heart of the Universe" within Beckett, bursting forth with an incredibly dazzling light!
Buzz!
With a single thought, Beckett instantly drained the energy from the Star Core countless rotating stars, turning them into dust that surged continuously toward the palm of his right hand.
Gradually, a dazzling miniature cosmic sphere appeared in Beckett's right palm, within which countless tiny stardust particles were circulating.
As the brilliance flows, new forces continuously join in.
The terrifying aura emanating from it even distorted the space around Beckett's body, to the extent that it could silently engulf Darkseid's Omega Beam!
"Impressive momentum, but unfortunately I don't think you have ten thousand years left."
After the initial frustration, Darkseid quickly adjusted his mindset.
He no longer wasted the life force that was still constantly draining from his body, but instead, after preserving the necessary sustenance for survival, he channeled it all into the "sun" in front of him.
Admittedly, Beckett thwarted his plan to absorb the life energy of the entire universe, but he did not come away empty-handed.
He still has the resources for one last gamble.
"I will be the last one to survive this battle!"
Beneath his resolute tone and unwavering expression lay Darkseid's burning desire to avoid defeat at that moment!
"So, just die!"
Darkseid's eyes narrowed, and he decided to strike first. He threw the "sun" in his hand, which contained nearly half of the universe's life energy, at Beckett was still accumulating the energy of the planets.
"No."
"Damn it, it's you!"
The moment Darkseid threw it, Beckett, sensing something, stopped collecting energy and flung the "universe" out of his hand.
Boom!!
Under the watchful eyes of Beckett and Darkseid, the moment the two energy spheres touched, a catastrophe that swept across the entire universe and even affected countless parallel universes descended in an instant!
In a universe that had just ended a bloody massacre, Deadpool, wielding two swords and having slaughtered all the superheroes in the universe Deadpool atop a mountain of corpses, staring wide-eyed at the shattered space before him. Before he could even ask what was going on, he perished along with the annihilated universe.
In a universe ravaged by a zombie virus, superheroes, now transformed into powerful zombies, are devouring the corpses of gods, only to be reduced to dust along with the fragile fabric of space in the next instant...
Catastrophe, a sudden catastrophe.
A final battle fought by two Multiverse- level deities, risking their lives, took away not only countless celestial bodies, but also countless adjacent parallel universes.
The powerful energy burst was like Domino effect, causing a series of upheavals and destructions in the universe!
"Beckett!!"
Having exhausted all means, Darkseid roared hoarsely, gritting his teeth and desperately clinging to life as his vitality continued to drain away. The ever-expanding "sun" was steadily defeated in its collision with the "universe" thrown out by Beckett.
"Give me!!"
"Disappear!!"
Darkseid!
With the same clenched teeth, veins bulging on his forehead and arms, the energy belonging to Beckett relentlessly suppressed the Apocalypse King, who had reached the brink of despair, amidst roars that echoed throughout countless Multiverses.
"No!!"
The magnificence of the "universe" ultimately overwhelmed the light of the "sun".
The massive Cosmic Energy blast created by Beckett shattered Darkseid's last defenses at the last moment, instantly engulfing him!
Boom!!
Centered on Beckett, an explosion so powerful that even he could not withstand it plunged the entire universe into silence, returning it to nothingness.
Beckett, who had fallen into a coma, floated quietly in the silent universe, with countless rules constantly repairing his injuries.
A head of white hair, moving on its own even without wind...
Earth, Ancient Egypt.
Menis, the first Pharaoh of the Ancient Egypt dynasty, has long been known throughout various civilizations.
This wise and learned Pharaoh ended the war Lower Egypt at a speed that was beyond the reach of ordinary people, and used his magic and wisdom to establish a dynasty so powerful that even aliens feared it.
However, more than his summoning magic, what truly made the aliens wary of Menis was his identity as one of the four kings of the Dark Order of the Centaurus Galaxy.
"From this day forward, the heavy responsibility of the dynasty will be entrusted to you."
In the royal palace, the Pharaoh Menis walked into the teleportation array, gazing with benevolent eyes at his descendants kneeling before him.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, please don't go!!"
The child, who knew nothing of self-control, burst into tears. Menis smiled and shook his head.
"My mission is complete."
"In Midgard, my life has come to an end."
"I have fulfilled the promise I made to my father back then. Now, I should fulfill the promise I made to that man back then."
Menis's face was filled with reverence and fervor when he spoke of that great man.
Back then, if that esteemed person hadn't appeared before him when he was on the verge of death, he probably would have perished in the war.
"Grandfather?!"
"Grandfather!!"
Amidst the heart-wrenching cries of a young child, Menis, the founder of the Ancient Egypt dynasty and the first Pharaoh, vanished completely...
Universe, Centaurus Galaxy, Dark Order.
Desolation remains the essence of this region, yet all discerning people in the universe hold this place in the highest esteem.
The reason is simple: Hela, the Asgard queen who now rules the entire universe, lives here.
And of course, there's that man.
That man who, at the very beginning of the universe, crushed Eternity with one hand and slapped Death to death with another, personally ending the lives of the original gods who governed the universe—
Son of Titan, one of only two supreme gods in the universe, king of the Asgard Empire, guardian of the Dark Order, buryer of the gods of rules, and the Legendary Super Saiyan God— Beckett.
"What, are you reluctant to part with your descendants in Midgard?"
Inside the teleportation hall of the Dark Order base.
The Other, the leader of the Chitauri Prime and head of the Black Order, leaned against a doorpost, holding a scepter inlaid with the Mind Stone, and watched the old man emerge from the teleportation array. He subconsciously glanced at the time.
It was two minutes late.
"I saw a rather interesting man. He had a physique different from the Midgard and all sorts of incredible abilities."
"Because he was delayed a bit."
Menis smiled as he thought of the man he had seen before he left.
"?" The Other was puzzled.
"It's nothing, just someone who idolized Lord Beckett after hearing his legend."
"They even have the idea of forming a Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, just like the Black Order. It's quite cute."
Menis's conversation didn't linger long on the young man who called himself "Apocalypse," because he didn't see the other two.
"What about Pietro and Wanda?"
"I'm ignoring you again?"
Menis smiled, and a set of armor belonging to the Dark Order automatically attached itself to his body after he stepped out of the teleportation array.
Quicksilver Pietro, Scarlet Witch Wanda, and the sibling duo from the Black Order, together with The Other Menis, form the highest leadership of the Dark Order — the Black Order.
"They've gone on a mission to the next universe. Apparently, there's some trouble on Queen Mera's side." The Other shrugged, turned around, and stepped out of the teleportation hall first.
"Is there anyone who dares to have designs on Queen Mera?"
"Who knows?" The Other frowned, looking distressed.
"Lord Beckett hasn't shown up for a long time..."
In order to revive Hela, Mera, and others, Beckett, who had just awakened from his coma, chose to merge countless parallel universes that had been broken together. Not long after defeating the rule gods born from the merged universe and reshaping the world, he chose to release the [Heart of the Universe].
In Beckett's own words, the power of the "Heart of the Universe" is ultimately an "external force."
"By the way, Queen Hela is also in the Dark Order these past few days and hasn't returned to Asgard, so you'd better not mention Queen Mera's name."
"... Speaking of which, one is the Queen of Asgard, and the other is the Ocean Queen from the next universe. Who do you think Lord Beckett will choose?"
"I don't know, don't ask me, I don't want to die yet." Menis was clearly not falling for it, shaking his head like a rattle-drum.
As the other supreme deity in this universe besides Beckett, Hela would be severely punished if she vented her anger on Beckett, even if she didn't die.
The Other sneered as he closed the portal to the teleportation hall.
"So who do you think Beckett will choose?"
"Of course I think so—" The Other was about to blurt out when he suddenly realized something was wrong.
That mischievous female voice just now clearly couldn't have come from within the Dark Order.
There are no young girls here!
"Menis?!"
"No need to look anymore, he's lying under my butt."
The Other looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young girl with a tender face sitting cross-legged on the unconscious Menis, using him as a cushion.
He rested his chin on his right hand and patted Menis' helmet on his head with his left. He blinked his big eyes and gave him a mischievous look.
"Who are you?!" The Other immediately sounded the alarm in his mind!
The Dark Order is not so easy to infiltrate, but this little girl not only appeared silently in front of him, but also knocked down Menis before he could react at all.
They've come with ill intentions!
"My name..."
Looking into her seemingly harmless eyes, which were now filled with amusement, the girl tilted her head back and slowly uttered a name that left The Other bewildered. "Kate."
"Kate Beckett, that's my name."
Kate... Beckett?
Surname Beckett?
Seeing the confusion and bewilderment on The Other's face, the girl sitting cross-legged on Menis grinned and slowly raised her right index finger, pointing to the sky in the Dark Order.
Buzz!
The jet-black hair color instantly transformed into a dazzling golden yellow!
Holy crap?!
The Other stared in astonishment!
The hair color and the golden light shimmering on the girl's body gave him an incredibly familiar feeling.
Super Saiyan Mode...
Holy crap, is this really that exciting?!
The Others are fairly certain Hela hasn't married Beckett yet, considering Mera is in between. Hela, being so proud, wouldn't possibly be doing this before the issue is resolved...
So this child...
The Other suddenly felt a chill; he realized that Hela was now more than just one step behind...
"You... you... you... you..."
"As you might guess, my father is Beckett, but my mother is Hela." The girl named Kate Beckett shrugged, stood up from the unconscious cushion of Menis, and patted her bottom with both hands.
"???"
"I come from a world two thousand years in the future—"
"Fine, anyway, just take me to my dad's place quickly!" The girl, who wanted to explain properly, thought about it and decided to give up.
"??????"
"Hurry up!"
"If we don't hurry, it'll be too late!!"
If she doesn't hurry, her half-brother will take her back!
The girl's voice sounded a little impatient, and The Other listened in a daze.
This little Super Saiyan in front of him really gave him a big shock.
"Oh my god, how could you be so stupid!"
The girl, who had just landed on the ground, stomped her foot, frowned her adorable brows, gritted her teeth, and flew directly towards the hall where Hela was. As she flew, she shouted at the top of her lungs, "Mom! Dad's running away!! Go stop him!!"
Meanwhile, in Beckett's former side hall, Beckett, having finally pushed his power to its limit, stood in the cosmic teleporter created by Woz.
Even with his composure, his fingers trembled slightly with excitement.
"Cosmic coordinates input complete, preparing for interstellar travel, Your His Highness Beckett." The countdown timer was displayed on the projection panel of the robot cat Woz.
"Frieza..."
"Wash your neck clean..."
"I'm here to kill you!"
His words, brimming with murderous intent, became Beckett's last utterance in this side hall.
