"Father."

Centaur Galaxy, Dark Quadrant, Base.

Beckett, who was recalled by a warrant from his adoptive father Thanos, knelt on one knee and saluted respectfully to the figure on the throne.

A long period of silence followed.

Thanos on the throne never spoke, and Beckett inevitably had some ups and downs in his heart.

Silence is often the best means of destroying a person's will.

"Father, I-"

After shutting up for a long time in this silent atmosphere, Beckett finally couldn't help but speak, but the next second, his vision in front of him was covered by two pieces of paper.

"Read."

The concise Thanos looked at the paper that fell on the ground, and the undoubted tone made Beckett consciously reach out and pick it up, the content of the paper was familiar to him.

This is the homework he handed in after he came out of the penal field.

Two 800-word reviews.

The writing is full of emotion and repentance.

"Father, I-" Beckett blinked, looking up to defend himself, but was interrupted again by Thanos' order.

"Read."

"Now, Beckett."

"............" Beckett opened his mouth, and the explanation he wanted for a while had to be swallowed back into his stomach, and he stood up honestly, holding the paper in both hands and reading it carefully word by word.

“………… Father, after so much introspection, I have fully realized my mistake. I shouldn't be so impulsive and make a risky choice without any investigation. You have taught me that there are people outside of people............"

In the huge base hall, the sound of Beckett reading aloud drowned out all the other voices.

Thanos, who was on the throne, simply closed his eyes, leaned back against the cold throne and beat the handrail rhythmically with his right index finger until Beckett's recitation ended.

"Above, Beckett."

After the review and recitation, Beckett no longer had the cold and domineering appearance he had when he was outside, holding two pieces of paper full of hypocrisy in his hands, standing straight in place, his eyes kept staring at the floor at his feet.

It's as if flowers have grown on the ground of the base.

"Heads up, Beckett."

"Is there anything nice to see on the ground?"

"Tell me, who wrote these two reviews?"

"Woz? The?? Other？ Or yourself? "Seeing Beckett like this, Thanos is angry.

For more than 20 years, he still doted on this child too much.

The most severe punishment from childhood to adulthood is confinement.

"Myself, father." Beckett raised his eyes, and said with a straight face.

This is his intellectual property and cannot be allowed.

Although most of the polite words written were brainstormed for him by Watts and The Other.

"Then can I understand that you know it's wrong, but you just don't change it?"

Thinking about how he should put pressure on this kid to be able to make this person straight, Thanos narrowed his eyes and asked calmly.

"Nope! Definitely not! ”

"Actually, the reason why I hit Hara Star is because I want to test the new power I have gained."

Beckett flatly denied it.

Although he did think so in his heart, it was something he couldn't even admit to killing The Other.

"Oh? New power? At a glance, Thanos, who saw through Beckett's heart, sat on the throne like this, looking condescendingly into the eyes of his adopted son.

“The Other！”

"Come on! Here comes His Highness Beckett! ”

The faithful licking dog, who had been hovering at the gate of the base, heard the call and crawled to Beckett with a scepter. Get down on one knee and present the gem with both hands.

Zheng!

Without the slightest hesitation, Beckett reached out and held the Mind Gem inlaid at the top of the scepter, and the dazzling golden light lit up without the slightest warning, with Beckett as the center, the crimson golden energy converged into a pillar and soared into the sky!

The entire dark quadrant, no, the entire centaur galaxy saw this pillar of energy that ran through almost the entire galaxy.

"Ah...... Yes!!!! ”

The terrible sound of the wind was accompanied by a roar from low to high, and the muscled arms were the first to swing out from the golden mang. The terrifying coercion, the domineering appearance, and the new form together constitute a new Beckett!

Even Thanos had a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Father, this is what I have found, new strength, new evolutionary direction."

"I've tested it, and in this form, even Hara, the main star of the Kree Empire, can be destroyed by me." Speaking of his record, Beckett's eyebrows were full of confidence.

Even the so-called god of Kree's artificial intelligence can only be defeated under his hands.

Except that the endurance is not enough, the power of this form is enough to fascinate Beckett.

As for whether it is wrong or not, Beckett can't care so much, his top priority is to find a reason to extinguish the anger of his adoptive father Thanos as soon as possible, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to be locked up again.

"You mean, Hala was ruined by you?" Thanos, who was keenly aware of the point, glanced at his adopted son, who was smiling brightly and confident, and followed his words to ask questions.

"Yes father, the star core exploded, and Hala no longer exists." Beckett's eyes lit up with excitement as he described the scene to Thanos.

The Kree Empire leaders who fled under the leadership of Supreme Wisdom now have no choice but to find a new master.

"That's the way it is."

"So, we are preparing to go to the main planet of Kree, not a hot head."

Asgard, Hela's Bedchamber.

Hela, who had finally dissipated a little of her sullenness, sat on the steps and angrily told her mother, Friggya, about what she had experienced on the main star of Kri.

She still couldn't understand her father's desire for a peace treaty with Jotunheim.

Is this old and confused?

“………… Hela—"

"Enough mother, I want to be alone and quiet, is that okay?" Knowing what her mother Frigga was trying to do in the name of asking for news, Hela didn't give her a chance to speak again.

“…… All right. Frigga sighed, and stopped talking. When she got up and walked away to the door, Frigga couldn't hold back after all, and looked back at Zhengse:

"Hela, I know you don't understand anything about it, but trust your father, he's for you and for Asgard's good."

"Let's go! Right now! ”

Hela looked up violently, a flash of blood in her angry pupils, and pointed out the door and shouted at Frigga.

[Hela, you are my executioner, the sharpest weapon in my hands. I believe in you, and I believe that you will be able to open up territory for me and Asgard in the future, and achieve supreme hegemony! 】

Father Odin's old expectations and praises echoed in Hela's mind, and they never faded away.

Hela raised her right hand and dialed the channel.

"Hela?"

It was the familiar punishment field again, the familiar review table, and the orange cat curled up on the table, and Beckett, who had no way to write on the ten blank sheets of paper in front of him, raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, and looked at Hela with gloomy eyes in front of him.

"I need the Mind Gem, lend it to me, Beckett."

"My dad is a bit old and confused, and I need to bring him to his senses." Hela held out her hand to Beckett, and said with a straight face.
