Guiding Light Thanos

Midgard.

The corpses scattered across the ground were gradually buried by the wind and frost. Hela, twisting her wrist, looked up in the direction the warship had departed, remaining silent.

"Beckett, you have now essentially interfered in the War of the Nine Realms. Do you understand the gravity of this situation?"

Sailing aboard a warship in the magnificent universe, Ebony Maw, having finished handling all the aftermath, approached Beckett, who was standing by the window gazing at the dazzling starry sky, and asked softly.

"Intervened in the War of the Nine Realms?"

Upon hearing this, Beckett shook his head. "No, I have never had any intention of interfering in the Nine Realms War, nor do I want to get involved in that woman's affairs."

From beginning to end, he was just a Saiyan was passing through.

He passed through Asgard, and then Midgard. The War of the Nine Realms, the Golden Flash Savior of Midgard —none of that mattered to him.

"But your actions did send such a signal to the outside world. You handed the Casket of Ancient Winters to Odin of Asgard, and you and daughter of Odin wiped out the vanguard of the Nine Realms' united army at C53."

"What do you think others will think?"

Ebony Maw meticulously recounted all of Beckett's recent activities, presenting them one by one to the latter.

"I said, it has nothing to do with me."

"What those people with ulterior motives think is their business; I don't need to explain it to them."

The Dark Order and his own strength are the reasons why Beckett is so confident. Apart from his adoptive father Thanos, he doesn't need to explain his actions to anyone.

This "anyone" also includes Ebony Maw.

"You know what you're doing." Ebony Maw didn't care. The Dark Order's sphere of influence had nothing to do with Asgard, and Beckett didn't seem like the type to fight against the Nine Realms for daughter of Odin.

"Where is the person Lord Thanos wants?"

"Woz."

Beckett swiped directly off Woz's screen, projecting the image onto Ebony Maw's face.

A red dot marked Astra flashed on the map; the unfamiliar location made Ebony Maw frown.

"Before the explosion of U40 Planet, he was taken away by an unknown force, but he was still wearing the helmet I gave him. Judging from the coordinates, his current location should be the coordinates that Father wants to know."

"And I already had Woz send these coordinates to Father. What, Father didn't go?"

Beckett waved away the light screen and looked at Ebony Maw, who clearly knew nothing about this, a look of doubt appearing between his brows.

"No, Lord Thanos has just returned with the compensation from the Skrull Empire."

"The Skrull Empire?"

"Our planetary inspectors have discovered that your U40 Planet has exploded." Ebony Maw said succinctly. Upon hearing this, Beckett immediately understood what had happened, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up, forming a subtle arc.

The care and concern shown by his adoptive father Thanos warmed Beckett's heart.

After that, they remained silent the rest of the way, with Beckett and Ebony Maw having nothing in common to talk about.

With a series of rapid space jumps, the Dark Order base that Beckett knew so well was now in sight. After the warship landed smoothly, Beckett, with The Other following closely behind, stepped out of the hatch and onto the familiar ground once again.

"Beckett, your hair?"

Proxima Midnight, who was directing her subordinates to distribute the compensation resources that had been brought back according to Thanos's demands, greeted Beckett and immediately noticed Beckett's incredibly bright blond hair.

"It changed on its own." With these concise words, Beckett passed by Proxima Midnight and stepped into the main hall of the base, where the figure seated on the throne had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Father."

Upon seeing his adoptive father Thanos, Beckett bowed respectfully.

"Not bad, Beckett." Thanos, sitting on his throne, looked up and carefully examined his adopted son, whose power had undergone a transformation. He then walked down the steps and came to Beckett's side.

He glanced at The Other, who had been following Beckett, and the latter, understanding the implication, obediently withdrew from the hall, holding his Azure Scepter.

"Unfortunately, it didn't last long." Beckett shook his head, a look of regret on his face.

As if to verify his words, Beckett's blond hair turned back to its normal black color the instant he finished speaking, and his superhuman power evaporated from Beckett body in an instant.

Time is up.

An unprecedented weakness quickly took hold of every nerve in Beckett's body.

How could this be?!

An unusual look of disbelief appeared in Beckett's eyes.

"The energy of the Infinity Stones isn't so easy to fuse, Beckett." Thanos, who had been prepared for Beckett's current state, poured the prepared Nutrient Fluid into his weakened adopted son's mouth.

"Infinity Stones?"

Having never heard this term from Thanos before, Beckett barely managed to maintain his stance, quietly waiting for the power within the Nutrient Fluid to fill his entire body.

"That is one of the most mysterious forces in the universe. I had only seen it in some ancient books before."

"But you, no, I should say Astra, came into contact with one of the legendary six Infinity Stones."

Gazing at his gradually recovering adopted son, Thanos swept his right hand through the air, and a huge light screen instantly appeared in Beckett's eyes.

The information on the screen was all that Thanos had collected over the years regarding the Infinity Stones.

Not many, but very useful.

At the very least, it made Beckett understand what the "Infinity Stones" his adoptive father Thanos was talking about really were.

"So, if I want to reach that level of power again, I need the power of the Infinity Stones?"

Having tasted the power of the Super Saiyan, Beckett naturally found it hard to let go; the power capable of destroying stars captivated him.

Even a fraction of the power of the Infinity Stones was enough to amplify his power to that extent; what if it were a complete Infinity Stones?

Or, if he collected Six Infinity Stones, would he be able to use their power to find Frieza's location in the universe?

As Beckett's gaze swept over the documents before him, a few sparks of inspiration inevitably arose in his mind, but they were all extinguished one by one by his adoptive father, Thanos.

"Give up those unrealistic ideas, Beckett." Thanos, with his hands behind his back, stared at his Thanos son, whose eyes were gleaming, and interrupted his speculation.

"The power of the Infinity Stones is beyond your ability to withstand."

Even the body of Eternals might not be able to withstand the side effects of the gem, let alone Beckett.

"And do you really believe that the power you unleashed on U40 Planet was given to you by the Infinity Stones?"

Thanos turned and walked back to the throne, patting the empty seat beside him with his right hand.

"What?"

"You are a gift from this universe to me, Beckett, I have always believed that."

After his adopted son sat down beside him, Thanos's eyes showed a rare hint of kindness.

A huge screen, emanating from Thanos's will, stretched across the sky above the main hall of the base, displaying a scene of Beckett at the age of seven, during his first intimate encounter with Ebony Maw outside the Dark Order base.

In the scene, seven-year-old Beckett, under the pressure of Ebony Maw, gradually had golden light emanating from his body...

"You may not have noticed, but Beckett, that is your own power, not Infinity Stones."
