Chapter 40: I'm Real, He's Fake
One punch,
Just a punch.
The heavy artillery carrying Astra's hopes was blown to pieces by Beckett's punch before it could be used. The plasma cannon died before it could be fired.
"Who the hell are you?!"
With his feet on the corpse of the old man, Astra took two steps back, her body muscles tensed, and she was ready for battle.
"You don't need to know. Now, come with me. Woxt was only able to block the communication network for three minutes, and Beckett didn't have time to ink with the man in front of him.
"What if I say no?"
Astra squinted, his eyes full of vigilance. Admittedly, the man in front of him was really surprised by his ability to smash the heavy artillery with one punch, but that was not a reason for him to obey the order.
"You don't have a choice." Beckett held his head high, and his cold and arrogant words made Astra frown. The thick arm was the first to strike, and the first punch slammed into Beckett's cold face, but was blocked by a finger.
[What?! 】
It was just a finger, but Astra felt as if her arm had hit an impregnable wall. As soon as he tried to withdraw his hand, Beckett's knee was already pressed against his abdomen, and a sharp pain instantly swept through every nerve in his body!
Under the pain, he subconsciously opened his mouth and let out a low moan of unknown meaning, and a trace of saliva dripped down the corner of his mouth and fell to the ground. Astra clutched her abdomen with her right hand, her knees limp, and she fell to her knees in front of Beckett.
"As I said, you don't have a choice."
Beckett looked condescendingly at the man kneeling in front of him, reached out and grabbed him by the collar, dragging Astra to the door of the building as if dragging a corpse.
If it weren't for his adoptive father Thanos to live, where would he have used so much time to slap him to death.
"Ahem......"
Astra, who had finally recovered from the pain and the bumps, grabbed the post with both hands, and the last stubbornness made Beckett turn his head.
"I don't know who you are, but your goal must be the energy conversion formula in my head."
Seeing Beckett stop, Astra sneered and struggled to get up from the ground.
"If that's the case, I'm afraid you won't be able to take me away. At the very least, not until the Skrulls out there are dead. A smile tugged at the corner of Astra's lips as she stood up.
"This command center and the research institute below have a special magnetic field that protects my brain from being copied by the Skruls."
"But once you take me out of here, if there are still Skrulls in that ice sculpture world outside, your actions will be tantamount to making a wedding dress for the Skruls."
"They'll unceremoniously copy all of my recent memories, including the energy conversion formula."
Astra leaned against the goalpost, explaining word by word the disadvantages of leaving the command center.
"Of course, you can bet that all those damn Skrulls will be frozen into lifelike ice sculptures by you. It's just that, just look at me, look at the Kree soldiers who are also not frozen by you in the contact center, and you should know that this ice is not irresistible. ”
With that, Astor stretched his hand and dug into his waist bag, and he took out a small wine bottle.
"Well, tell me, do I have a choice now?" After raising the bottle in his hand towards Beckett and clinking glasses in the void, Astra sneered and took two sips, waiting for Beckett's response.
"Of course not." Beckett took off the bracelet on his right wrist, and after pressing the button, the small bracelet turned into a blue physical robot cat in an extremely unscientific way.
"Woz, make a helmet that can interfere with the Skrull's copying of his memories."
"Yes, Your Highness Beckett." Woz reached out and scratched the back of his head, the light coming out of his eyes that analyzed the building inside and out. Then, he went to the building on two short legs to find raw materials to make props.
Just constructing a functionally similar magnetic field was not a problem for Woz at all. Not long after leaving, Woz returned to Beckett with the materials he had chiseled out of the ice.
He took out a simple auxiliary program from his pocket and attached it to his waist, and suddenly eight mechanical arms wielding various props appeared behind Woz.
For a while, the eight mechanical arms danced wildly, and the sound of tinkling iron was endless.
The helmet as a carrier was there, and a special shielding magnetic field also followed, and Woz also added a small function according to Beckett's request. When the green helmet was placed on Astra's head, there was disbelief on his face.
In these years, it is really possible for any cat or dog to be a scientist???
Astra lost her last amulet and left the building with Beckett with an ugly face. Along the way, I watched the rare ice sculpture scenery, wearing a green helmet, and depressedly pouring bottle after bottle of blue dream.
He knew that he shouldn't be able to run away.
"Your Highness Beckett!"
The Other, who had been using the Azure Scepter to maintain the Ice Crate for continuous output, waved excitedly when he saw Beckett return with his target.
"Congratulations to His Highness Beckett on the successful completion of his mission." While singing the hymn, The Other waved his hand, incidentally disarming the small battleship behind him.
The two teams of Zeta Swiss soldiers stepped off the battleship in an orderly manner to welcome Beckett's return.
"Bring people up."
The Other put away the scepter against the Ice Box, waved to the soldiers disembarking from the battleship, and trotted all the way to Beckett.
The Ice Box, which was opened without a key, suddenly stopped outputting energy, and the range of the ice no longer expanded.
"You're the one who froze the city?" Astra, who was taken over by Zeta's Swiss soldiers, looked at The Other, who was weak, and then at the ice box on the ice, and didn't know what to say for a while.
What he thought at first was a large device, and it was just a small box?
The Other didn't pay attention to his mind at all, but was behind Beckett, looking like an obedient high-class horseboy.
Astra was first pressed onto the battleship by the Swiss soldiers of Zita.
"Your Highness Beckett! Don't be fooled!!! ”
"Those people are the Skrulls!!!"
And just as Beckett was about to step onto the battleship, a panting voice came from afar, and The Other, whose eyeballs had dropped, gasped, and appeared in front of Beckett with more than a dozen Zeta Swiss soldiers behind him.
"It's the Skrulls, Your Highness Beckett!"
The Other beside Beckett's face suddenly turned gloomy, and his words were full of Skurull's words.
"All on alert!" The Other yelled at the top of his lungs, and his body was the first to stand in front of Beckett. Some of the Zeta Swiss soldiers who had just taken Astra onto the battleship appeared behind The Other.
"Your Highness Beckett! Believe it! I'm real! He's an imposter! ”
The One-Eyed The Other pointed the muzzle of the gun in his hand at the other self in front of him, and shouted sincerely.
"Your Highness Beckett! I'm real, this guy is an imposter! ”
"Your Highness Beckett, I, I'm the real thing!"
"I'm real! He's a fake! ”
"I'm real! He's a fake! ”
“…………”
The self-evident declaration of twitter made Beckett's brow furrow.
"Your Highness Beckett, whether it is biological genes or technological structure, the two of them are exactly the same." After the robot cat Woz transformed into the bracelet scanned the two The Other with his eyes, there was a rare touch of wonder in his tone.
