"Frost Giants?"
Beckett didn't even lift an eyelid, his gaze fixed on Hela, who was leading the way. Her expression was icy, and a dense volley of weapons instantly pierced the chests of dozens of Frost Giants.
"Your camp was overrun?"
Beckett crossed his arms, watching with cold eyes.
Hela remained silent, pacing before the groaning Frost Giant soldiers and raising the sword in her hand.
"Tell me, why are you here?"
"Hela, daughter of Odin, I know you..."
The Frost Giant squad leader, struggling to get to his feet, was brutally kicked back down by Hela. "Tell me, now."
What Beckett had said was precisely what Hela was worried about. This Bifrost teleportation point should have been within their Asgardian camp, but now, the Asgardian camp had vanished without a trace, and this teleportation point was ambushed by Frost Giants.
"Cough... cough..." The Frost Giant squad leader, his body heavily wounded again, coughed, a hint of grim satisfaction appearing on his face. "Looking for them? Then die."
Puchi!
The blade entered flesh, a cold glint flashing.
"This is impossible! Why did Asgard receive no information about the camp's destruction?"
Casually killing the Frost Giant squad leader who tried to resist, Hela surveyed every inch of the ground beneath her feet. The frost-covered surface showed no signs of battle.
This was a Bifrost teleportation point. Even if the camp personnel didn't have time to send an alarm, Heimdall should have noticed something was amiss.
"Woz."
"Woz is scanning..."
"Woz scan complete, His Highness Beckett, there are significant life fluctuations to your front left."
The information on the right eye's display flickered. As an Artificial Intelligence, Woz had an advantage over Hela in tracking.
"His Highness Beckett! Wait for me!"
The Other, just recovering from the after-effects of teleportation, picked up the Azure Scepter that had fallen to the ground, stood up, dusted himself off, and followed behind Beckett.
"Tsk, this guy..."
With a twirl of the long sword in his hand, it vanished without a trace. Hela silently followed Beckett towards the location Woz had scanned.
"Oh, did it just end?"
The dazzling blood stained the ground covered in white frost. A large human settlement was now reduced to just over a hundred people shivering in the icy wilderness.
Beckett stood on the cliff, looking down at the world below.
"Frost Giants from Jotunheim, Dark Elves from Svartalfheim, and... is that?!"
As Hela, who had followed Beckett, saw a familiar figure below, her face instantly turned grim. "Warriors from Vanaheim!"
"This is impossible!"
"Oh? Why?" Beckett, with great interest, watched Hela's expression change. It was amusing.
Hela glanced at Beckett and said nothing. Beckett, not receiving an answer, didn't mind and continued to gaze downwards.
It seemed the recent slaughter had terrified the remaining hundred or so survivors in the settlement. Every face was etched with fear and panic.
The captain of the allied squad, a Dark Elf with an extremely gloomy expression, was about to speak when he vaguely sensed an extremely dangerous... illusion?
"Who?!"
Perhaps it was Hela, perhaps Beckett, or maybe The Other. In any case, the three standing on the cliff were easily exposed to everyone's sight at the Dark Elf captain's shout.
"You sensed it? Much later than I expected." Beckett, with his arms crossed, tilted his head to avoid a javelin thrown by the Dark Elf captain. The undisguised contempt made the latter's eyes grow even gloomier.
"Hela, daughter of Odin. So, Odin has discovered something is wrong here?"
Upon seeing Hela beside Beckett, the Dark Elf captain understood instantly. He immediately pressed the signal transmitter in his hand. The allied forces, armed with firearms, began to gather at the village entrance upon receiving the order.
It seemed they were preparing for a large-scale brawl at the village entrance.
"His Highness Beckett, scan complete. The Nine Realms United Vanguard First Team consists of 1024 personnel." Woz reported to Beckett, having scanned their identities from the nameplates on their chests.
"xxxxxxxxxx! xxxxxxx!"
Among the hundred or so people driven into the open area by the First Team, one suddenly stood up, rushed out of the crowd, and roared at Hela, who had the Asgardian insignia on her, raising her hands. Veins bulged on his forehead, and the next moment, he was riddled with bullets.
"Woz."
Beckett, who didn't understand the C53 language at all, directly chose to have Woz translate.
"This is a trap. You should escape quickly."
The Other, hearing Woz's translated voice for the first time, couldn't help but laugh.
"We can't let them leave!"
"Everyone! Open fire!"
After sending out the information that Hela, daughter of Odin, was already here, the Dark Elf captain directly gave the order to fire. The thousands of soldiers surrounding the settlement at the village entrance pulled their triggers. Countless streams of fire erupted, surging towards Beckett, Hela, and The Other on the cliff with lightning speed, determined to blow them to smithereens. However, all the projectiles were blocked by the weapons Hela single-handedly created.
Boom boom boom boom!!!!
The explosions that rang out one after another made the hundred-plus survivors at the gathering point tremble. Beckett, clad in white robes on the cliff edge, frowned, a murderous intent surfacing in his eyes.
These scum, how dare they make a move against me?
"Woz, how much longer until our warship arrives?"
"Your Highness Beckett, Ebony Maw's army will arrive at the perimeter of C53 Planet in thirty-five minutes."
"Still that long?"
Upon hearing this, waves of air surged beneath Beckett's feet, his golden hair wildly tossing and his white robe billowing in the wind!
"Stop it, Beckett! This is Asgard's business, it has nothing to do with you!"
Hela, floating in mid-air with her hair styled in a way that looked like she was about to attack, warned without turning her head.
"I hate it when people point guns at me."
"Therefore, they must die." As soon as Beckett finished speaking, his figure had already shattered a corner of the cliff, his golden hair blooming with dazzling, captivating radiance in the sunlight!
Silver-white beams of light mixed with an endless barrage of weapons, instantly killing the 1024 members of the Nine Realms United Vanguard First Team!
The hundred-plus people who had been trembling in the open ground now looked up in a daze, gazing at the two figures descending from above like divine saviors:
The man was tall and imposing, with a stern face, clad in white robes, his golden hair blooming with soul-stirring flashes in the warm sunlight;
The woman was heroic and valiant, with a beautiful face, dressed in tight clothing, her dark hair wildly fluttering in the biting cold wind.
"Are you... our... saviors?"
