"How... how is this possible?!"
The heart-wrenching pain could no longer make Babar flinch. At this moment, all that remained in his heart was endless fear.
The Power Crystal, the Unbreakable Emblem, gifted to him by That Great One, had been crushed into true powder before his very eyes by Beckett, with just one hand.
"In the presence of His Highness Beckett, nothing impossible ever exists."
"Turning the impossible into the possible, subverting the enemy's imagination—this is His Highness Beckett! The all-powerful His Highness Beckett!" The Other, holding the Azure Scepter, devoutly spread his hands, chanting praises for Beckett.
"...?" Babar, seeing a commentator for the first time, blinked in confusion.
"Who sent you?" Ignoring The Other's customary chanting, Beckett landed in front of the bewildered Babar. He extended his right arm, grasping Babar's head with one hand, and pulled him out of the deep pit.
The mastermind behind Babar's presence here was the information Beckett wanted.
The mastermind who could immediately see through Woz's forged identity and mobilize Babar, the Captain of the U40 Planet Security Force, to attack Beckett's group, made Beckett extremely curious.
Under normal circumstances, with the Kree Empire and the Dark Order at war, the Skrull Empire should have been eager to build a good relationship with Beckett.
"Of course, it was That Great One." Babar, his bones shattered, let out a sneer, his gaze towards Beckett filled with hatred.
"No one can escape That Great One's plans, not even you, Son of Thanos."
"I won't ask the same question three times. Now, tell me, who is it?" Beckett didn't take Babar's threat to heart at all.
"Without That Great One's consent, no one can mention his name, because That Great One is omnipresent." Babar's face grew paler, but the smile on his face became more pronounced.
"However, I can make an exception and tell you once, to let you witness how strong That Great One truly is."
"That Great One, he is the pride of our U40 Planet. His chest is adorned with the honor medals of the U40 Planet, and a scarlet cape always billows behind him. His power is unstoppable."
"His name is, Sha—"
RUMBLE!!!
Lightning and thunder instantly flashed across the clear sky. Under Beckett's gaze, Babar in his hands gradually turned into dust, covering the ground beneath his feet.
"This...?"
"His Highness Beckett?!"
The nervous The Other instantly tightened his grip on the Azure Scepter and took small steps to Beckett's side.
"Interesting."
Beckett stared at the ashes that Babar had become at his feet, his eyes flickering, and a look of excitement gradually appeared on his face.
"Woz."
"Your Highness Beckett, Woz is prohibited from entering the U40 Planet Information Central Control Center. And one more thing, we are wanted globally." As soon as Woz finished speaking, a giant, azure screen floated before Beckett.
Three freshly issued wanted posters.
[Name: Beckett; Gender: Male, Age Unknown, Origin Unknown, Personality: Bloodthirsty, Extremely Evil. Distinguishing Feature: A red tail behind him. Criminal Record: Destroyed N52 Planet, killed 404 members of the U40 Planet Security Force, brutally murdered Babar, Captain of the U40 Planet Security Force, etc.]
[Name: Beckett's subordinate. Gender Unknown, Age Unknown, Origin Unknown, Criminal Record...]
[Name: Astra; Gender: Male, Age Unknown, Origin Unknown, Loves drinking, skilled in using a heavy assault cannon, shares the same name as the Kree scientist Astra, but they are not the same person. Criminal Record...]
"Reward three resource planets for providing important clues?" Seeing the bounty, Astra almost wanted to report himself.
"Your Highness Beckett, what should we do?"
Looking at himself on the wanted poster, although The Other was annoyed that even Astra had a name while he didn't, he suppressed his displeasure and turned to ask Beckett.
Fingers sliding across the light screen, Beckett remained silent, his gaze repeatedly scanning the three wanted posters.
"Global wanted?" Beckett narrowed his eyes, a possibility coming to mind.
"Woz, connect me to Corvus Glaive."
"Understood, Your Highness Beckett. Woz is creating a call connection..."
"Call creation failed, attempting to connect to Proxima Midnight..."
"Call creation failed, Your Highness Beckett, Woz cannot establish external contact." Woz, who had always been invincible in the information world, unexpectedly found himself isolated this time, completely unable to communicate with the outside.
"Your Highness Beckett, our warship has been taken control of." The series of shocking news caused The Other's heart rate to accelerate. From Woz's words, it seemed they had been discovered from the moment they set foot on the U40 Planet, but the Skrulls on the U40 Planet had simply remained inactive.
"Detected that the warship's intelligence database is being invaded. Does Your Highness Beckett require detonating the warship?"
"Detonate."
As soon as Beckett finished speaking, a mushroom cloud suddenly rose from the outskirts of Eiffelde, the main city of the U40 Planet...
...
"Sir, the intruder's warship has activated its self-destruct program as you predicted."
In a high-rise office of the Municipal Building in Eiffelde, the main city of the U40 Planet, a Skrull knelt on one knee, respectfully reporting to the masked man on the throne.
"How is the information lockdown going?" The man on the throne's chest gleamed with silver, and the dense array of honor medals made the kneeling Skrull's face show fanaticism.
"As per your instructions, the entire U40 Planet's information system has been locked down, and a global wanted order has been issued. The merchants trapped on the planet also understand our temporary planetary lockdown."
The kneeling soldier relayed all the situations to the man on the throne, his tone filled with admiration.
The enemy that even the intelligence department couldn't detect was seen through at a glance by the man before him, who then quickly formulated a series of plans. He was truly worthy of being the strong one who had gathered all the honor medals of the Skrull Empire!
"Well done, you may go. Prepare to welcome General Baltan and General Gesra back." The man on the throne nodded, waving for his subordinate to withdraw.
"Yes! Lord Shafrin!"
The Skrull soldier departed, his face filled with excitement at following the man's command. After the Skrull soldier left, the man named Shafrin rose from his seat and walked to the window, overlooking the planet below. His red cape billowed behind him without wind, the medal on his chest jingled, and the mask on his face held a darkness that even sunlight could not dispel.
"Beckett, Son of Thanos."
"My foolish brother, you truly have brought me a great surprise..."
