Destroying the Star Core

"Even if you burn your life force, is this all the power you can get?"

With his arms crossed over his chest, Beckett turned his head to avoid Shafrin's attack, his dark pupils filled with increasing excitement, while his mouth continued to stimulate Shafrin's sensitive nerves.

"Someone like you can't possibly pique my interest."

"Aaaaaah!!!"

Blood burned through his nerves, and surging energy rose again. Shafrin's muscles began to wither at a visible speed, and the explosive force directly sent The Other, who was lying on the ground trembling, flying.

"As you wish, Beckett."

Rubbing his wrists, Shafrin's blood-red body turned around and appeared in front of Beckett, his hands surging with towering waves of blood as he slammed them into Beckett's chest!

Faced with the renewed attack of Shafrin, Beckett finally couldn't suppress the restless heart within him and freed his hands.

Boom!!!!

As their fists and palms collided, the booming shockwave shattered the ground beneath their feet, and Shafrin's figure was sent flying backward at an even faster speed than when he arrived!

"That's not enough."

Beckett, who had sent Shafrin flying with a single punch, gleamed with excitement. "Your strength is far more than that!"

Beckett could clearly sense that Shafrin had not yet unleashed his full potential, or rather, he had not yet reached his full potential.

"Now, continue."

Watching the figure he had blasted into the ruins, Beckett arrogantly raised his right hand, signaling him to continue the attack.

"Puff!"

Spitting out the blood foam in his mouth, Shafrin didn't even have time to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth before a crimson storm condensed behind him into a ferocious giant statue, which rushed toward Beckett, who was eagerly waiting.

"If," Beckett said with a pleased smile, the energy he had gathered in his right palm instantly pierced through the red giant statue behind Shafrin. The next second, his figure vanished abruptly, reappearing right in front of Shafrin!

"Your strength is only at this level,"

A punch landed squarely on Shafrin's stomach before he could dodge, followed by a kick that sent him soaring into the dark sky. Beckett's smile grew even wider.

"Well then, let's leave it at that."

Before he finished speaking, Beckett had already appeared above Shafrin. He interlaced his fingers, clenched his fist, and slammed it hard into Shafrin's waist!

Um?

Beckett's smug smile froze as he punched empty air.

"Go to hell!"

Shafrin appeared behind Beckett and punched Beckett in the back of the head!

The sharp sound of wind breaking through the air prompted Beckett to react instinctively, Shafrin, not to be outdone, followed closely behind. The burning flame of life grew stronger with time, and the power left on him by the Mind Stone gradually rose to its peak!

Bang bang bang bang!!!!

The astonishing sound of wind breaking came in waves, causing The Other, who had found a safe place to lie down again, to continue trembling.

"It's... it's a lie, right..."

"This... this level of power..."

Beckett and Shafrin are nowhere to be seen in The Other.

All his eyes could see was the devastated U40 Planet, and all his ears could hear were the continuous explosions.

The Other couldn't help but swallow hard, silently praising himself. Beckett's performance today was undoubtedly explosive. With such a master, the Other—no, it should be said that the glorious future of his Chitauri race— was just around the corner!

[Good luck, Your His Highness Beckett!]

Clutching his Azure Scepter, The Other huddled in a corner, trembling, still basking in the promise of a bright future. The next second, a blood-red figure descended from the sky, crashing directly in front of The Other.

The expression on The Other's face froze instantly.

Before The Other could react, his body was already being pulled up by Shafrin, who had fallen from the sky, and thrown at Beckett as a weapon.

???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Others' screams, their eyes clouded by the sand, came to an abrupt halt.

Beckett's arm grabbed the bewildered The Other.

"Your His Highness Beckett!"

The Other looked at the cold-faced man in front of him with surprise.

"You're getting in the way." Beckett glanced at The Other and casually tossed him aside like trash. The gesture wasn't exactly friendly, but it filled The Other with surprise and gratitude.

[His Highness Beckett saved me!!!]

[His Highness Beckett saved me!!!]

With his mind filled with the thought that "Beckett saved me," The Other jumped up from the ground, clutching the Azure Scepter and grinning foolishly.

"Alright, I've seen your limit. Let's stop here."

Unaware that his casual gesture had deeply moved his subordinates, Beckett glanced at Shafrin, who was kneeling on the ground panting, after shaking off The Other, shook his head, and decided to stop playing.

Shafrin's outburst was extremely disappointing. He had been looking forward to Shafrin's promise of "shattering stars," but in the end, his power couldn't even penetrate the surface of U40 Planet.

"What a coincidence, that's what I was thinking too."

Shavlin's collapsed chest pounded like a blower, and his increasingly emaciated body rose with a cold smile. He had stalled for enough time, enough time for him to establish contact with the U40 planetary core.

The power of the Mind Stone transformed into crimson-gold armor that instantly enveloped Shafrin's entire body. A black and white striped mask automatically covered his face, and a vibrant red cloak billowed wildly amidst the howling wind and thunder.

Buzz!

An extremely terrifying aura emanated from Shafrin, standing shoulder to shoulder with Beckett had stopped in his tracks.

"Destroy under this power capable of shattering stars!!!"

With his stance wide open, left hand raised high and right fist clenched, Shafrin roared and threw a punch!

The crimson energy beam, carrying his life force, shot straight toward the cold-faced Beckett!

"The final chapter has ended."

Beckett's expression remained unchanged as he raised his right hand toward Shafrin. A surge of immense energy flowed through his palm, and a beam of silvery-white energy erupted!

Boom!!!!!

The blood-red and silver-white beams collided, and the resulting energy shockwaves were enough to shake the entire U40 Planet!

"Your His Highness Beckett! Your His Highness Beckett! Huh?!!"

The Other, who had been watching the whole thing, was knocked to the ground by the aftershocks and then spewed into the sky by the sudden volcanic eruption!

With a flick of his wrist, The Other grasped the Casket of Ancient Winters, freezing the erupting volcanic energy. Holding the Azure Scepter, The Other began to leap back and forth repeatedly to avoid the "natural disaster."

"It's no use! Behind me stands the entire planet U40!" Shaflin roared, drawing power continuously from the core of U40 planet, ignoring the ruptured blood vessels in his body, and increased the intensity of his output once again!

"I am now the god of U40 Planet!!!"

As if receiving a divine command, the U40 planetary core suddenly released its energy restrictions, and a vast and boundless power surged into Shaflin's body in an instant!

For the future of the Kree Empire, and for revenge against the Skrull Empire, Shafrin was willing to give everything, even his life!

"Aaaaaaahh..."

The intensity of the blood-red energy beam surged, instantly breaking the stalemate and forcing the silver-white beam to retreat steadily!

"God? You think you can be one?"

Beckett sneered, and his left hand, which had been free, joined the battle. The energy unleashed by both hands instantly turned the tide for the silver-white pillar of light!

He has no idea how many self-proclaimed gods he has killed so far.

"He's nothing more than a lowly thief who borrows the power of Star Core."

Moreover, anyone who stands in his way, no matter who they are, even if they are a god from a cosmic legend, he will still annihilate them!

"You're 20,000 years too early to kill me!"

Veins bulging on his forehead, Beckett roared, unleashing his full power. The Mind Stone, placed within him by Astra, also joined the attack, causing the silver-white pillar of light to surge and gradually dissipate the crimson pillar!

"Impossible!!!!"

Shafrin, whose body was almost bursting from the out-of-control Star Core energy, frantically tried to save himself, but was still annihilated in the silvery-white energy beam in the next second!

Before the U40 planetary core, whose defense mechanism had been unlocked by Shafferin, could restore its self-defense measures, it was pierced by the silvery-white energy beam!

Boom!!!!!
