"Are you done yet?"
"No."
"What about now?"
"…I don't feel anything. What's wrong with you? Can you not be so fast?"
Beckett's face darkened. He directly threw the purple crystal in his hand to The Other, who quickly reached out to catch it, as if afraid of dropping it.
This was an item created after dismantling three warships; it was extremely precious.
"Your Highness Beckett, Woz suggests you synchronize further with Lady Hela. I believe your energy synchronization rate will surely reach the standard required to activate the energy crystal and release the magic."
Woz, who had Beckett's best interests at heart, persuaded him earnestly.
To destroy the energy node that allowed these undead to revive endlessly, Hela's power alone was insufficient. Only with Beckett's power added could it be possible.
However, the energy properties within these two individuals were completely different. Forcibly merging them would only lead to various uncontrollable consequences.
To change this awkward situation, Woz analyzed the energy spectra of both Beckett and Hela. He dismantled three warships and used their energy to create an energy neutralization converter – the purple crystal Beckett had just flung at The Other's face.
Hela and Beckett would input their energy into this energy neutralization converter. After conversion and synthesis, the energy would flow into Hela's body, helping her release the magic capable of destroying the magical node that caused the undead to revive endlessly.
In Woz's three thousand simulated experiments, there were as many as two thousand five hundred successful attempts. This was why Beckett, despite his impatience, still had to stand with Hela to transfer energy into the energy neutralization converter.
Among all of Woz's simulated plans, this one had the highest success rate.
"Your Highness Beckett, your synchronization rate with Her Highness Hela is almost up to standard. Please do not give up."
However, after ninety failures, Beckett's patience had clearly been worn out by Hela.
"It's already the ninetieth time, and you're still outputting energy so fast. You have no brain at all." Hela scoffed disdainfully, her patience also nearing its limit. She was increasingly certain that this man's formidable combat power was exchanged for his intelligence.
"As a man, are you even embarrassed to be this fast?"
"Me fast? You're the slow one, you stupid woman." Hearing this, Beckett's brows furrowed. He crossed his arms over his chest, looking disdainful, completely failing to follow her rhythm.
"Do you really not understand what I'm saying?" Hela chuckled, as if she had discovered a new continent.
"?"
Beckett, whose life had been nothing but training and studying since childhood, and then constant training as he grew older, and finally killing missions after growing up, frowned deeply. He didn't understand the meaning behind the playful expression on Hela's face, but judging by her expression, it was definitely not something good.
So, he chose to ignore it.
Bang!
The sound of a mechanical behemoth crashing to the ground startled the two of them, who had drifted off into their own worlds after their argument. Under the endless attacks of countless undead armies, the defensive line to their south showed signs of collapse.
"Your Highness Beckett, rest assured, I will send reinforcements immediately." The Other, wisely choosing not to provoke Beckett at this moment, placed the purple crystal in his hand on a large rock beside Beckett and began issuing orders with his scepter.
Chitauri soldiers equipped with magical weapons created by Woz from the wreckage of warships began to join the battlefield in an endless stream, engaging in a new round of combat with the infinitely reviving undead warriors.
However, the Chitauri soldiers would eventually run out of their light beams. To completely eliminate these annoying undead, there seemed to be no other way besides synchronizing with Hela.
He had even tried pressing the Mind Stone directly onto himself, but perhaps due to his deep-seated desire to rely on himself and transform into a Super Saiyan, Beckett did not get his wish this time.
"Hurry, one more time. Remember to go slower this time, don't be so fast." Hela picked up her crystal and threw it into Beckett's arms. The playful smile on her lips made Beckett very uncomfortable.
And he still didn't know why.
"Stupid woman, remember to speed up and keep up with my rhythm." Beckett gripped the purple crystal in his hand, his expression impatient.
As soon as he finished speaking, the energy neutralization converters in both their palms simultaneously emitted a dazzling light.
"Now, Your Highness Beckett."
Woz's voice sounded at the opportune moment. Beckett and Hela, each holding an energy converter, instantly clasped their free hands together!
Boom!
"Synchronize!"
"Conversion begins!"
The energy converter manipulated by Woz instantly began to operate, and the converted massive energy instantly fed back into Hela's body!
"It worked!"
Hela let out a muffled groan from the stinging sensation of the powerful energy surging into her. Although it was as faint as a mosquito's hum, Beckett, who was closest to Hela, heard it clearly.
Enduring the pain that felt like her body was swelling and tearing, Hela closed her eyes. Her red lips parted with a pained cry, and the magic incantation provided by Woz echoed above the undead army!
An energy so immense that it could destroy the magical node surged from Hela's right arm, which held the energy neutralization converter, and shot towards the location marked by Woz!
"It worked…"
With a shiver as her body was drained, Hela, having released all the energy at once, collapsed powerlessly onto the ground, her eyes fixed on the direction the energy was flowing.
The undead soldiers, who were still reviving, seemed to sense the danger. They all stopped their actions and moved to block the path of the magical energy, but they were instantly annihilated.
"Did it work?" Beckett, who had only provided energy, glanced at Hela, who was slumped at his feet. As soon as he spoke, an orangey-yellow figure appeared, following the direction of the energy surge, and landed behind the undead army.
"What?"
The skeletal, orangey-yellow figure's pupils reflected the surging magical energy. Opening its mouth, several terrifying tentacles extended out and swallowed the energy completely.
"Meow~"
The orange figure, satisfied, licked its pink paw with its tongue and stared with wide, curious eyes in the direction where Beckett and Hela were.
If it remembered correctly, that energy just now was released by Beckett and Hela together.
"What... what kind of monster is that?!"
Witnessing this unbelievable sight with his own eyes, The Other screamed. Especially when he saw the small, orange figure suddenly leap in front of Beckett and Hela, his heart filled with terror, fearing that Beckett would also be swallowed in one bite.
"Meow~"
The orange cat licked its paw with its pink tongue, sat down in front of Beckett and Hela, tilted its round little head, and meowed in a milky voice.
Beckett and Hela exchanged glances, seeing a hint of caution in each other's eyes.
"Meow!"
Thanks to [Lu Wenhou] for the reward~
