Pain, a pain that cut deep into the bone.
Even the previous battle with Thanos and Odin hadn't made Ego feel this way.
A mix of humiliation, fear, and anger instantly flooded Ego's heart.
After all, back then, Thanos had cut him in half with a single sword strike. But now, Beckett clearly had no intention of giving him a quick end.
A mix of humiliation, fear, and anger instantly flooded Ego's heart.
His right arm, his legs – everything reminded Ego of Gana not too long ago. The opposite of now, back then he was the one on top in Gana, with Beckett beneath his feet.
"An eye for an eye, ten times the return."
"This, this is His Highness Beckett."
Woz, sitting quietly by the cliff edge, refilled his oil can and brought the cup to his lips with his chubby hands. His short, dangling legs kicked back and forth. He took a sip of the brown oil, a look of pure satisfaction on his face.
"From childhood until now, every grudge that His Highness Beckett has held onto has been repaid tenfold, without exception."
"Including, the other four Black Order generals under Lord Thanos, too."
After rummaging in his belly pocket for a while, Woz pulled out a small booklet with a faded blue cover. He held it up and grinned at Hela, the crooked Universal Standard script on the cover clearly visible to her.
"Beckett's Growth Diary?"
"What is this?"
Hela reached out to snatch it, but Woz nimbly dodged.
"Those are, precious memories belonging to His Highness Beckett."
As if deliberately trying to build suspense, Woz dangled the "Growth Diary" in front of Hela before tucking it back into his belly pocket and patting his springy belly with satisfaction.
"If you want to see it, you can just go to His Highness Beckett."
"...Get lost!"
Hela, her face dark, kicked Woz, sending him flying onto his back.
"Don't force me to dismantle you!"
The azure robotic cat bumped into the oil can beside it, and in the next second, a golden figure landed in front of Hela.
"What are you doing?"
Beckett's voice, so cold it lacked any trace of emotion, made Hela instinctively shiver. The pressure emanating from the depths of her heart caused cold sweat to bead on her forehead.
How could this be?
This guy's current strength...
"You bastard!!"
"Are you pitying me?!"
Ego, no longer suppressed by Beckett, surged forward. His body, with three of its four limbs gone, wriggled towards the shore, supported only by his remaining left arm. His handsome face was contorted beyond recognition by rage.
"Pity?"
"No, I never pity my enemies."
"I just, haven't had enough fun yet."
Beckett's upturned lips looked like the devil's to Ego!
"What did you say?!"
"Come on, let me see what abilities a god who has existed since the dawn of the universe still possesses." Pushing Hela, who was obstructing his path, aside, Beckett raised his right hand towards Ego. His contemptuous posture deeply stimulated Ego's already shattered heart.
"What god who has existed since the dawn of the universe? He's just flattering himself. In the end, he's just a planet that developed self-awareness. It's no different from the stars in the sky right now."
Hela, pushed back a step, directly exposed Ego's past. If she hadn't seen Ego's pathetic state at the hands of her father Odin and that Titan, the uninformed Hela might have truly believed Ego was a god in the universe.
But now, "At best, he's just a little brighter than those stars."
"Oh?" Beckett walked towards Ego step by step. His footsteps were light, but to Ego, they felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.
"Just, stars?"
An energy beam shot from the tip of Beckett's left index finger, piercing directly through Ego's chest!
"Then they really are, dim and lusterless stars." Beckett tilted his head, placing his right foot on Ego's only remaining right arm and rubbing it.
"Ahhh!!!"
The piercing pain was unbearable for Ego. His shrill howl echoed through every corner of Sakaar.
"Uninteresting, let's end this."
Ego's howling no longer brought Beckett pleasure. Feeling bored, Beckett raised his hand, palm facing Ego's head.
Father once said, the most direct way to kill someone is to cut off their head.
Whoosh!
Silver energy tentacles erupted from the surface of Sakaar, forming a giant shield in front of Ego.
"Struggling in your death throes?"
Beckett raised an eyebrow, looking at the figure kneeling on the ground after his giant shield shattered.
"You shouldn't have given me time to recover my energy, Beckett."
Ego, who had reformed his limbs during the brief respite, looked up, his eyes now filled with dense, silver energy ripples.
"Under the radiance of the stars,"
"Die with your arrogance!!!!"
Ego leaped into the air, arms spread wide, and a portion of his core energy surged from within. Bright silver light illuminated the land, its brilliance surpassing the galaxy above Sakaar's sky!
With a flick of his finger, concentrated star core energy gathered into a ball, surging towards Beckett, who was flying towards him.
"Is this all you've got?"
Golden light instantly dyed the entire sky. Beckett spread his hands, immense energy pouring from his body. Through his hands, an incomparably massive golden energy ball condensed behind him!
"You're still far from it!!"
With a fierce swing of his hands, the golden energy ball shot past Beckett's head, directly colliding with the star core energy ball shot by Ego!
BOOM!!!!
"Again!"
Beckett's heart grew warmer as he spread his hands again. Golden energy gathered into a ball, a double-barreled blast from behind him, instantly engulfing Ego, who was still drawing in the light from Sakaar and its surrounding planets!
"What?!"
RUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!
The bright silver starlight began to dim, and a fiery golden sun ascended beneath the starry sky.
Two figures, one gold and one silver, plummeted from the sky, crashing to the ground and kicking up a storm of sharp energy!
[What is that?!]
The familiar posture, the familiar prelude. Hela, who had been choked thirty-three times in the past few days, widened her eyes, staring intently at the golden figure dragging Ego under his control!
BANG!!!!
"Stars are just stars after all!"
"They can only shine by borrowing the light of the sun,"
"If you are the so-called stars, then I am the sun!"
Ego, leaving a trail on the ground as he was dragged, was directly slammed by Beckett into the tallest mountain on Sakaar!
The mountain, known as the hardest on Sakaar, was directly smashed by Beckett using Ego!
"The finale."
A sharp energy hurricane erupted from the palm of Beckett's right hand, which was gripping Ego's throat, continuously cutting into every inch of Ego's skin!
Wuwuwu!!
The energy hurricane, sounding like a cry, was particularly grating to Hela's ears. Ego's silver tentacles gradually dissolved into nothingness.
"No!!!!!"
Completely unable to resist, Ego could only endure Beckett's cutting. His silver body, with its limbs severed, exploded in Beckett's hands!
"Rejoice!"
"For the great Son of Titan, the new king of the Sakaar Arena, the revered Lord Beckett of Chitauri Prime!"
