[This power ............]

Mandate of Heaven............ Is it? 】

In the blood-stained hall, Mera stared at the figure with her right hand clenched into a fist in front of her chest, her eyes rippling.

White hair, white eyes.

White, which should have been the color of silence, intertwines a bit of mysterious and dangerous colors on Beckett's body.

"Your Highness Beckett, the destination of the spaceship has been set, do you want to go to Earth?"

Ignoring TheOther, who was still inexplicably excited after the hymn, Woz, who was relatively much calmer, asked Beckett about the next course of action.

Having witnessed the relationship between Beckett and Thanos for more than 20 years, it knows exactly what it should do now.

Beckett needs to vent, to vent the negative emotions that have accumulated in his heart.

And on Earth, there is an opponent who can allow Beckett to vent.

Darkseid.

The culprit who is responsible for the situation we are in.

"No, back to the Dark Quadrant."

Beckett rejected Woz's offer, and instead gave it an answer that surprised it.

Back to the Dark Quadrant?

Why?

"Yes, I see."

Despite his doubts, Woz did not hesitate to change the ship's course.

When Beckett sets foot on the land of the Dark Quadrant base, he finds that only the two siblings, Pietro and Wanda, greet him.

Ebony Throat, Deathblade General, Night Proxima Centauri, and Black Dwarf, the Black Radiant King Quartet are nowhere to be seen.

"Why is it just the two of you?"

"Ebony Throat where's they?"

Recalling what Thanos had told him about the Obsidian Generals, Beckett immediately felt a touch of murderous intent in his heart.

"Your Highness Beckett, the Four Generals of Hei Yao led their respective subordinates to encounter an accident when they were passing through Asgard."

"Asgard suddenly exploded for some reason, Ebony Throat, none of them survived that explosion."

Pietro, who had just returned from the investigation and evidence collection at the place where the accident occurred, gritted his teeth and revealed all the facts he had verified.

He didn't know what was going on in Asgard, he only knew that the departure of the Four Generals and their subordinates was a great loss to the Dark Quadrant.

That's the high-level people in the dark quadrant!

“？！” The moment he heard the explosion in Asgard, Beckett almost lost control of his emotions.

Fortunately, it was Mera who held his right hand tightly, and the cold water flowed on Beckett's wrist for a moment, which brought him back to his senses.

[This is also my father's arrangement? 】

Beckett, who came back to his senses, had mixed feelings in his heart.

Although judging from Petero's description, it was just an accident that Hei Yaosi would be wiped out, but Beckett, who had experienced the ups and downs of his life in a short time, still couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

Thanos is gone, and the Obsidian Four will go with him?

This is too much of a coincidence.

"Woz, open the melting platform."

Putting away the clutter in his mind, Beckett gave his first order after returning to the Dark Quadrant.

It was a place that only Thanos was once qualified to enter, and it was also the place that Thanos used to improve Becket's armor.

Now, Beckett is ready to activate it himself, melting the Infinity Gauntlet he took off from Thanos to create a pair that fits his hand.

Rumble!

Beckett's cheeks were red with the scorching light of the fire, and the Mind Gem he had previously crushed had been restored, setting with the other five gems in the ever-changing shape of the Infinity Gauntlet in the raging flames.

In a sense, this can be regarded as a relic left by Thanos.

【This Universe ............】

[Did something happen?] 】

Earth, Wakanda.

Darkseid, who was on the steps of the vibranium altar, seemed to sense something in the dark, and frowned rarely.

The Apocalypse Army has completely occupied the advantage on the battlefield, and the Human Alliance can barely fight a small piece of survival with only a few strong superpower armies.

Darkseid, who was busy smashing the rules with the altar, didn't care much about it.

After all, he is also an invincible existence in this universe now.

No one will be his opponent.

But now, Darkseid's all-encompassing strength has allowed him to keenly capture the hazy changes in the rules of the universe.

This came as a surprise to him.

"Tony?"

"Tony?!"

"Hey Tony, wake up!"

On the silver crosses lined up next to the altar, Stephen Strange's face was almost as pale as a corpse because of the continuous extraction of blood genes.

If it weren't for magic, I'm afraid he would have passed out like Hawkeye by now.

"I ...... It's okay............"

"It's okay............"

Tony Stark, in his soul state, shook his head desperately trying to keep himself awake.

As the only soul body in the captives, Tony Stark was drawn a little hard by Darkseid.

The soul fragments that belong to this universe are all contributed by Tony Stark.

Under Darkseid's unrestrained extraction, it is a miracle that this former playboy has been able to survive until now.

Looking at Hawkeye, who is an ordinary person, it can almost be regarded as meeting Nick Fury.

Even Hulk Hulk now looks like a sick cat, no longer capable of fighting.

"Loki, now, I'll give you a chance to prove yourself."

Ignoring the cafeterial cross, Darkseid stared at the flames burning in the vibranium altar for a full three minutes before turning his gaze to Loki, who had been kneeling in front of him, but who had not dared to make a small movement.

"Throw him in."

The gnarled fingers pointed at Thor, who was dying on the desolate realm, his blood-stained body was enough to show how bad the Asgardian prince was.

“？！” Loki was startled and looked up suddenly.

"Why, don't you want to?" Darkseid looked at Loki with interest, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Nope! I do! ”

"Loki is willing to obey any of your orders!"

Hurriedly showing his loyalty, Loki slowly stood up and came to the frail Thor.

"Luo ............ Base! ”

Even if his left arm was torn off, even if the wounds were constantly and bloodstained.

Thor, who still hadn't given up on resisting Darkseid, glared at his brother.

"I'm sorry, I don't have a choice, Thor."

"Also, don't call me in that tone. I've been used to it for a long time, and instead of stressing me, it makes me proud. ”

Loki shrugged his shoulders and gently poked Thor's broken arm on tiptoe.

"From the time you were a child, your father loved you, your mother loved you, and everyone in Asgard loved you."

"You're always surrounded by countless amounts of love and support."

"And me?"

"I don't have anything."

At first, when Loki was just a child who didn't fall in love with mischief, he also longed for the same treatment and attention as Thor.

Unfortunately, no.

The warriors of Asgard looked down on him, and the people of Asgard thought that the scheming Loki was not on the right path.

So, he learned to wrap himself in lies, he chose to protect himself with a dagger, and he began to look at the whole world with a wary and hostile gaze, because the world has never been gentle with him.

Or rather, he didn't feel the tenderness that would pull him out of the mire.

"Not now, though."

"In the coming new world, I will be the new king of Asgard."

The dagger that appeared in Loki's hand at some point scratched Thor's cheek, and the irregular blood streaks were intertwined.

The chill made Thor even angrier.

Silent arcane runes flickered in their hollow eye sockets.

"You know what?"

"I am the king of Asgard!"

Airplanes!

With a crisp groan, Loki's figure still in front of Thor slowly dissipated, and Loki, who appeared behind Darkseid, held a dagger in his hand, but was blocked by an inexplicable force when he was only one step away from stabbing his kidney.

Don't move an inch!

"You, still let me down, Loki."

Darkseid's indifferent look made Loki laugh dumbly.

"You ruined Asgard, it's me who should be disappointed!"

Loki, who had flipped through Asgard's secrets, naturally knew what Hela's death meant.

Even Asgard is gone, so what's the point of him staying under Darkseid?

It's better to fight.

Darkseid shook his head, "Those little tricks of yours won't be useful to me. ”

"Really?"

"Let me take the liberty of introducing myself."

"My name is Loki, the second prince of Asgard, the mage with the most secret arts in the Nine Realms." Loki raised his eyes, and the smile on his cheek was unusually bright.

"Click."

With a crisp sound, Loki was directly twisted by Darkseid's neck, and the smile on his face froze.
