"So, do you have anything to tell me?"

On the empty ice crystal earth, Hela pointed to Mera, who was standing motionless, and asked with nuclear goodness.

"Why are you here?" Beckett asked a rhetorical question that was not asked.

Hella was supposed to be in Asgard, not Loki's infested Earth.

The Other, who disembarked from the spaceship, felt that the air pressure was wrong, resisted the urge to celebrate, and took the flame gun to unseal the Pietro siblings and the traitor Gamora who were frozen in the ruins of the New York Sanctuary.

He saw the three who had been reduced to ice sculptures, and incidentally saw Strange, Banner, and Pebo Potts, who were also frozen in ice.

The Other put himself in the right position, and it was better for him not to get involved in this kind of Beckett's housework.

Honestly thinking about the prestige of Beckett is king.

"My good brother has destroyed the city's magical hub, and there's something wrong in Asgard, I'll take a look."

"Then, I met this Mera."

"What about you?"

"Aren't you supposed to stay in the Dark Quadrant?"

With a glint of doubt and danger in her slightly narrowed eyes, Hela asked rhetorically as she told her what had happened to her.

"Are you going to the Dark Quadrant?" Beckett extended an invitation to Hela.

"What?" Instead of waiting for a reasonable explanation, she waited for an invitation to go to the Dark Quadrant, which caught Hela off guard.

Shouldn't it be Beckett trying to explain to her what this woman named Mera is all about?

Why does Beckett still look like a nobody, and feel like nothing happened?

"Mera, and Clark before him, are not from this universe."

"I know, Loki said it before you came, including her." Hela didn't pretend anymore, and went straight to the showdown, telling Beckett that she already knew everything and now just wanted a reason.

"If you know, follow me."

Directly carrying the motionless Mera on his shoulder, Beckett boarded the spaceship that was slowly descending under the control of Woz with a cold face.

He had a terrible premonition.

It's bad.

The sudden appearance of Loki, Clark, Mera and others made Beckett feel uneasy.

He couldn't tell what the source of this unease was, but instinctively, he wanted Hela to go with her to the Dark Quadrant.

"It's dangerous out there right now."

A reason that sounds like a child, but with the blessing of Beckett's grim face, it is particularly convincing.

At the very least, Hella believed it.

Because Beckett's face rarely showed such a look.

Beckett had never even said anything of this concern to her before.

"I want to know the truth, you and her."

Hela, who could see that Beckett was in a state of confusion at the moment, did not force him to ask him.

The cosmic invasion is a matter of significantly higher priority than her relationship with Beckett.

In particular, judging from what Loki said before, it seems that the other party's ultimate goal is to come at Beckett.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

DC Universe, Apocalypse.

High up in the sky, Darkseid, the Lord of the Apocalypse, is sitting upright on the throne.

At the foot of the steps, Loki, who had just walked out of the teleportation array, saluted respectfully: "Dear Darkseid, I have left the Sea Empress Mera by Beckett's side as you ordered. ”

Loki, who had completed the task, saluted and straightened his back.

Confident.

"What about Beckett's combat stats?"

Darkseid on the throne opened his eyes, and the sharp gaze made Loki, who had just been a little proud in his heart, instantly look like an old dog.

"At your orders, I set up an energy analyzer under the heart of New York City."

"The ice of Mera has cut off the scans of the AI next to Beckett, so the data should be being analyzed by now."

The honest second prince of Asgard is simply worthy of the title of [Evil God].

Darkseid, who had already lost once, was particularly interested in this invasion.

Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated.

Only by measuring Becket's current power limit can Darkseid decide what to do next.

Destroying the earth's magical power hubs causes the earth's energy field to be disordered;

Recruit Hela to defeat her in order to lure out Beckett so that he can collect his data.

It was all arranged by Darkseid based on the intelligence Loki had said.

As for staying with Beckett, it was because Darkseid wanted to meet the [Thanos] in Loki's mouth through her, and cultivated Beckett's overlord.

"Connect the database, and I want to know Beckett's current strength range for the first time."

Darkseid waved his hand and motioned for Loki to leave.

"Yes."

Loki, who didn't dare to make any small movements in front of Darkseid, bowed and retreated.

He didn't even dare to think of any other thoughts, for fear of being read by someone.

And after Loki left, it didn't take long for Darkseid to have the specific analysis results of the energy analyzer in front of him.

Beckett's, Hela's, and even Wanda's, Pietro's, Strange's............

All the figures who fought in New York City, the data was combed by the instruments that Darkseid had Loki planted in the ground, and presented to Darkseid in an orderly manner.

"Already, has it grown to this point?" Darkseid looked at the data on the panel and fell into deep thought.

"Yes, father."

"It's a pity." Thanos walked down the steps with his hands behind his back.

Since that white-haired Thor's strength has grown to this point, it is understandable that Beckett did not bring him back.

But............

Thanos looked at the cabbage standing behind his son: "You brought her to me and left Hela in your side hall?" ”

Is this really not afraid that Hela wants to be crooked?

"Father, Woz's familiarity with analysis reveals that there is a strange energy in her body, which it cannot parse." What Woz can't do, Beckett can only find Thanos.

People who are cursed by knowledge.

This is the sorrow that Thanos once mentioned to Beckett, which belongs to him.

"I see, you can go back first. I'll take care of her affairs myself. With a slight smile on his face, Thanos waved Beckett to go back now and steady Hela.

"Yes, father."

Beckett bowed and turned to leave.

"Another cosmic, energy?"

"Huh?"

Thanos, who had set his eyes on Mera after Beckett left, studied it for a while and realized that something was wrong.

Mera, who had been standing still until now, as if she had lost signs of life, suddenly raised her head, and the gloomy look in her eyes was swept away!

A large virtual image slowly condensed from behind Meera.

"Darkseid?"

"Sanos?"

Two mysterious bigwigs, looking at each other from each other in two universes.
