"Damn it! This lunatic!"
"Everyone! Fall back! Now! Quickly!"
Hela's expression instantly turned extremely grim. Dense magical metal appeared under her will, forming a shield as black as ink above the Asgardian army.
BOOM!!!
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!!
The deafening explosions continued unabated. Even with the shield's protection, the residual energy from the Star Destroyer Cannon that had breached the Dark Elf outpost's defensive wall sent the Asgardian army reeling.
"Your Highness Hela!"
"Fall back! Quickly!" Gritting her teeth and holding on, Hela, who was continuously channeling her internal power to maintain the shield's size, roared with a ferocious expression. Kortian, staggering to his feet, nodded hastily and led the departing army in a continuous retreat to a safe zone.
The defensive system of the Dark Elf outpost was incredibly fragile against this unreasonable, Star Destroyer-class weapon. Even the Dark Elf soldiers, who had been reinforced by secret arts, had no room to resist.
This was not a power they could contend with at all; where the artillery fire passed, nothing survived.
"Your Highness Beckett." The Other felt refreshed, having fulfilled a wish.
"Let's go, it's time to collect the spoils." Looking at the fortress that had already turned into ruins, Beckett sneered and leaped down from the hatch.
His bright silver combat boots stepped on countless pools of blood and corpses, walking step by step towards the survivor Beckett had deliberately left behind.
"Looks like you got lucky?"
The data of the survivor in front of him flickered on the right eye's display. The title of outpost commander made Beckett very satisfied, satisfied with The Other's handling of the situation.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand."
Enduring the heart-wrenching pain, Elrod struggled to stand up from the ruins, shaking off the dust.
The Universal Common Tongue spoken by Beckett was extremely foreign to him. In his entire life, he had never left the Nine Realms, not even the borders of Svartalfheim.
If it weren't for the revived Malekith promoting him to garrison commander, he would probably still be a mere border soldier until now.
"You don't understand?"
Beckett raised an eyebrow, then twisted the bracelet on his wrist, and a brilliant blue screen appeared before Elrod. In the bottom right corner of this screen was a large, grinning face icon of Woz.
Woz Universal Translation Panel.
The information obtained from Kyl had already allowed Woz to master the conversion between the Dark Elf language and the Universal Common Tongue.
"Tell me, where is Malekith?"
"No comment."
Elrod looked at the subtitles displayed on the screen, took a deep breath, calmed his rapidly beating heart, and assumed a defensive stance.
As a loyal warrior, this was his last shred of dignity.
"Your army has been annihilated. Are you sure you still want to make this futile struggle?"
The sound of hurried footsteps echoed from behind, but Beckett ignored it. Instead, he looked at the man before him with great interest. "Tell me Malekith's location, and you can live."
"My army has not been annihilated yet." Shaking his wrist, Elrod responded to Beckett with action.
"And me, the Western Garrison Commander, Di Elrod!" A dense dark energy instantly condensed behind Elrod, forming a wide-open portal. The invisible suction caused The Other, who had just disembarked from the warship, to stagger.
If it weren't for the scepter embedded with the Mind Stone shining brightly, The Other would probably have been sucked into the dark portal along with those Dark Elf corpses.
"Although very weak, it does carry the energy signature of an Infinity Stone." Beckett clasped his hands behind his back, looking up at the massive portal that spanned heaven and earth.
With bizarre and terrifying patterns, a purple and black dual-colored doorframe, the wide-open portal revealed an extremely profound darkness, exceptionally pure.
The aura of an Infinity Stone played a farewell tune in Beckett's ears.
"Go to hell with me!"
Elrod, whose features were completely swallowed by darkness, roared. Two arms suddenly stretched out from the purple and black dual-colored portal, reaching for Beckett, who stood motionless amidst the ruins.
WHOOSH WHOOSH!!
Two giant blades descended from the sky, directly severing the two arms made of dark energy!
"Hah!"
With a furious roar, the golden greatsword that Hela had seen before appeared again in her hand. Thick magical energy erupted, slashing straight at the purple and black dual-colored portal!
CLANG!
The portal vibrated, and then, as if provoked, endless darkness instantly engulfed the crimson-gold greatsword.
"I'll settle the score with you about the Star Destroyer Cannon later."
Hela, who had styled her hair in a way that made her look like she was about to fight, landed gracefully after tumbling several times in the air. With a wave of her hand, a black blade emerged from behind her, ready for battle.
"You are not qualified to settle scores with me." Beckett sneered, taking a step forward. The next second, his figure had already appeared beside Elrod. His speed was so great that Hela could still see afterimages.
"It's just a little Infinity Stone energy, diluted by who knows how many times."
"Woz."
After kicking the unprepared Elrod into the sky with one foot, Beckett's expression grew colder.
"Understood, Your Highness Beckett!"
A beam of light shot directly from the colossal warship onto the purple and black dual-colored portal. The illusory full moon caused Beckett's body to rapidly transform.
"Perfect timing, I wanted to test just how much my strength has increased."
With icy words, the brown Great Ape, Beckett's unique special form, stood tall under the illusory full moon, causing all the Asgardian warriors to look up in awe.
"This guy..."
Hela sheathed her weapon, feeling immense pressure from Beckett in this form.
"Oh? Is this the form that once bested Laufey in pure strength?"
In Svartalfheim, Malekith, seated upon his throne, watched the brown Great Ape on the screen with great interest.
"In that case..." Malekith covered his cheek with his right hand, and black markings instantly spread across his entire body!
"Ah!!!"
At the border, Elrod, completely defenseless, had a certain amount of energy injected into him by the purple and black dual-colored portal. The pain from his body expanding made him cry out involuntarily.
"So noisy."
The next second, Beckett's massive body appeared right beside Elrod, and he swatted him to the ground with a single blow.
"Roar!" His crimson eyes stared into the profound darkness within the portal. Beckett strained his powerful arms, pulling at the edges of the portal. The deep, dark vortex struggled to resist. Beckett opened his mouth wide, and a beam of energy so dense it was almost tangible erupted, blasting straight into the wide-open portal!
Thump!
Far away in the royal palace of Svartalfheim, Malekith's screen instantly went black. The purple and black dual-colored portal shattered into two halves, with only the brown Great Ape standing steadily atop the broken portal.
Behind his massive body, a full moon shone with blinding intensity...
Hela felt that she would likely be unable to look directly at the meaning represented by the moon for quite some time.
