To be honest, the Time Gem is exactly what Hela wants, and she wants.

After all, not long ago, she made a promise in front of her future father-in-law, Thanos, that she would give him the last Infinity Stone that still existed on Earth, the Time Stone.

It's just that she has thought of many plans to take it by force these days, but she never thought that the current Supreme Mage Stephen Strange would take the initiative to hand over the Time Stone to her.

Use it as a bargaining chip.

"What about him?" Out of caution, Hela didn't reach out to take it, but instead set her eyes on Thor, who was tied up behind the Supreme Mage.

Strange's behavior seemed to her to be genuinely unusual, and she suspected that there might be a bomb in it.

Especially with her stupid brother standing next to her.

"As I said before, so did he."

Strange shrugged his shoulders and withdrew his hand, just not hanging the Time Stone back around his neck again.

It's strange to say.

Strange thought that Thor would resist, but he didn't expect that the crown prince, who had been sitting on the throne of Asgard for 1,600 years, seemed to have directly sealed his mouth, and didn't say anything, just kept looking at Hela, staring intently.

There is no anger, and it is extremely calm.

It was so calm that Strange felt a little strange in his heart.

So cooperative?

"In that case............

"So, tell me, what do you want?"

Since it is a transaction, Hella naturally has to pay.

A time gem + a Thor, the sincerity of Strange's handover is not insufficient. It was precisely because of this that Hela wondered what the man wanted from her.

"Beckett." Strange raised an eyebrow and said his answer.

"What?"

"I want to see Beckett, but unfortunately I haven't gained his trust yet. So, I'm handing over the Time Gem and Thor Odinson to you for a chance to meet Beckett. ”

"An opportunity to meet peacefully." Finally, fearing that Hela would misunderstand, Strange added.

"Why?" Hela stepped up to the top of the stairs and sat proudly on the throne, her majestic aura pressing down on Strange at the bottom of the stairs.

"This universe is in danger, and the only one who can save this universe is Beckett." Strange told the truth and didn't hide it in the slightest.

"Save this universe?"

In the hall of the dark quadrant, Thanos, who was standing with his hands in his hands, looked at the [Ebony Throat] floating in front of him in front of him, and the rest of the obsidian generals were lying around him.

Including the comatose Beckett.

A minute ago, Obsidian [Ebony Throat] suddenly burst out and attacked all the people who participated in the secret meeting, leaving Thanos alone in the center of the main hall.

Even Beckett was unable to survive a single move in the hands of [Ebony Throat] and fell into a coma, and he didn't even have time to switch to the super game form.

"Sanos, you're going to save this universe."

This was the first thing [Ebony Throat] said to Thanos after clearing the scene.

"It's ironic that comes out of your mouth." As a survivor of the Eternal Titans, and as a well-known scientist on the Titan planet of yesteryear, Thanos is extremely familiar with the energy fluctuations emanating from the [Ebony Throat] in front of him.

One of the legendary gods of the universe, except that no one has ever seen his entity.

Including Thanos.

And the reason why Thanos knows is because there are traces left by this person on the Titan Star back then.

He studied.

"You've been working to maintain the balance of resources in the universe, Thanos. So we think you're going to be able to handle this well. ”

"That's because you've been indifferent to it." Thanos snorted coldly, having no respect for the legendary god in front of him who borrowed the body of the ebony throat.

If these gods can do something, Thanos is probably already an old farmer who grows vegetables and washes melons by now.

"The cosmic invasion war has begun, and your adopted son has destroyed the star Saka, where the High Heavenly Venerable lives, and has attracted the Devourer of Planets."

Ebony Throat glanced at Beckett, who was unconscious on the ground, and there was no emotion in his silver eyes.

"That's my order." Thanos didn't want to take the responsibility on his shoulders.

"But the invasion of another universe was caused by your adopted son." [Ebony Throat] did not have the slightest irritation, and directly slammed a cauldron on Beckett's head.

"Are you scared?" There was a rare hint of sarcasm on Thanos' face.

"It's war, Sanos."

"All the gods have been dragged down, and Odin is dead."

"Now, the only one who has the power to stop this invasion is you."

Hearing this, Thanos' eyes flickered, as if he had heard something interesting.

"No, if this war does start, then the only one who can stop this invasion is Beckett." Speaking of his most satisfied adopted son, Thanos' eyes showed undisguised pride.

"He's not from this universe, Thanos, you should know that."

"No, he is. He is my son, and that will never change. ”

"He doesn't get the rules recognized."

"Then break the old rules."

“………………”

[Ebony Throat]'s questioning, Thanos refuted them one by one.

"Your son is no match for Darkseid." [Ebony Throat] shook his head, pointing out Beckett's hard wounds.

As the strongest new god in another universe, Beckett, who has not been recognized by the rules at all, is completely unlikely to be his opponent.

The war has begun, and the universe simply does not have time to wait for the Beckett breakthrough.

Who knows how long it will take him to break through.

Once the antagonistic forces between the two universes are out of balance, the invasion will be unstoppable.

"We can give you one last help, Sanos."

"You're smart, and you're able to use your wits to the fullest against Darkseid."

"Don't go your own way."

"I don't think you want the entire universe to be plunged into the darkest hour because of your decision."

[Ebony Throat] didn't get angry, but still persuaded in an extremely blunt tone.

"You're right."

Thanos chuckled, and his kind gaze immediately fell on Beckett: "However, it doesn't apply to Beckett. ”

"You'll regret it, Thanos."

"After the Titan was reduced to ruins, I never did anything that I regretted."

Thanos's toughness is something [Ebony Throat] didn't expect.

After touching the ashes, the supreme god, a symbol of eternity, immediately departed from Ebony Throat's body.

Syllable!

The unconscious ebony throat fell to the ground.

Thanos didn't care.

As he said, he believed in Beckett.

Even if the universe does fall into its darkest hour, Thanos believes that he will not let himself down.

If there is no torch after that, Beckett is the only light in this universe.

This is what Thanos expects from Beckett.

Because, he is his successor.
