"Hela Odinsdottir, please cooperate actively. The Otherwise, there's an 80% chance Woz will initiate punitive measures against you."
On the vast warship, a projection of a sapphire-blue tanuki robot appeared before Hela, who was firmly bound by eight mechanical arms within a magical containment unit. The robot spoke a warning that was completely at odds with its honest and cute round face.
"I'm more curious about what the remaining 20% is."
Hela, having completely lost her freedom, looked down at the short legs that only reached her waist and spoke softly, with a meaningful tone.
"The remaining 20% is to dress you up as a punching bag and place you in the gravity training room to be a sparring partner for His Highness Beckett," the sapphire-blue tanuki said, raising its plump hand and reading the text displayed on the light screen in front of it.
"Woz has selected the rapid healing mode for His Highness Beckett. His Highness Beckett will be out of the Nutrient Pod in twenty minutes, so you'd best think carefully." Woz, putting away the light screen, looked up at the expressionless Hela with its large, blinking eyes, adding, "His Highness Beckett is very fierce. If His Highness Beckett gets angry, it will be too late for you to cooperate."
"Are you really just an intelligent robot?" Hela didn't answer Woz's question, instead focusing on the Woz who was warning her. This blue tanuki phantom had appeared when Hela had refused to cooperate time and time again. In Hela's opinion, both its tone of voice and its expression were no different from an ordinary intelligent creature. A mechanical life form that had achieved such a degree of autonomy, yet was willing to be confined to a warship?
It was such a waste of talent.
"Woz is a household nanny robot cat created by Lord Thanos based on the model of a Dora Star household robot, responsible for His Highness Beckett's daily life outside," Woz said, blinking its large eyes. It turned around and, step by step, climbed onto the control console using its hands and feet, its cute, round face full of pride.
"So, Hela Odinsdottir, you have seventeen minutes left to consider." Woz, completely unfazed by the topic change, waved its two chubby hands, gesturing continuously on the control console. It still needed to locate where the Frost Giant Laufey, mentioned by His Highness Beckett, was.
As the recognized king of the Jotunheim giant race, Laufey was not untraceable in the universe. In the database established by Ebony Maw, Woz quickly found information related to Jotunheim and Laufey.
"Without extremely precise coordinates, you won't be able to enter Jotunheim." Hela, who had been observing Woz's every move, spoke up to assert her presence. Seeing the tanuki attempting to locate Laufey's position, Hela immediately changed her mind.
"Unless Jotunheim actively reveals its location, you won't be able to enter the Jotunheim Royal Court without knowing the specific coordinates." Hela, having changed her attitude, generously shared the knowledge in her mind. Hela, who had been to the Jotunheim Royal Court with her father Odin, provided the exact coordinates without batting an eye, making it easier for Woz to locate.
Not only that, but she no longer resisted providing magic to unseal the Chitauri legion.
The little bit of magic that Hela had managed to recover in her body was once again drained by the magical containment unit manipulated by Woz. The magical circuits simulated by the warship were lit up by Hela's magic infusion, and then amplified by the magical containment unit, acting as a shockwave on all the Chitauri soldiers who had been turned into ice sculptures.
The ice crystals melted at a visible speed, and the soldiers who had been frozen for a long time finally regained their deserved freedom. When Beckett emerged from the Nutrient Pod, The Other, who was holding a cerulean scepter and controlling his tribesmen to self-repair, was pacing back and forth in front of Hela, who was bound by brown ropes, muttering to himself. Judging by his expression, he seemed to be boasting about something.
"The location of the Frost Giant Laufey has been pinpointed, His Highness Beckett."
Woz's voice caused The Other, who was still showing off in front of Hela, to shiver unexpectedly. He quickly turned around, and Beckett, now dressed in a black combat suit, appeared before him.
"His Highness Beckett." The Other restrained his smug expression and bowed to Beckett amidst Hela's death-staring gaze.
Beckett glanced at the now unhindered The Other, then turned his gaze to the busy robot cat at the control console and said in a deep voice, "Have you located it, Woz?"
"His Highness Beckett, according to the rating description in Lord Ebony Maw's database, Laufey, the king of the Jotunheim Frost Giant tribe, is extremely powerful, especially in the Jotunheim Royal Court, where Laufey can unleash his full strength. After comparison, Woz does not recommend you go to Jotunheim at this time."
"My target is not Laufey."
Beckett, seated in the control chair, denied Woz's statement. As he said, his target was not Laufey, but a treasure in Laufey's hand – the Casket of Ancient Winters.
He didn't know Laufey, but he had seen the name in the database established by Ebony Maw. Along with this name, Beckett also saw a brief description of the Casket of Ancient Winters, one of the Frost Giants' divine artifacts.
This was one of the Frost Giants' most famous treasures. In Ebony Maw's opinion, the power of the Casket of Ancient Winters might have a miraculous effect in randomly eliminating half of a planet's population. Perhaps. After all, because Thanos was busy stabilizing the Centaurus Galaxy and due to the current chaotic situation in the Nine Realms stirred up by the warmonger Odin, Thanos had not intervened at this time. Instead, he chose to wait and see while searching for other powerful artifacts.
This was why Beckett intended to go to the Jotunheim Royal Court. He had encountered the Frost Giants and Laufey, which meant he had a high probability of obtaining the Casket of Ancient Winters recorded in Ebony Maw's database and presenting it to his adoptive father, Thanos.
Therefore, Beckett wanted it badly, and he decided to act.
Or, this could be considered his response to Laufey's warning.
"Target acquired: Jotunheim Royal Court. Spatial jump, engage."
Beckett's insistence was met with Woz's 100% obedience. The interstellar fleet, carrying the remaining half of the Chitauri army, disappeared from the sky above the Blood Plains after flying for a while.
...
Jotunheim Royal Court, everything was covered in ice and snow.
The massive interstellar fleet slowly descended into the snow after a fluctuation.
"His Highness Beckett, we've arrived."
Everything has been resolved perfectly! Perfect!
Tonight, the foremen of two shifts are treating me to dinner, so, as the title suggests, I'll be a one-update beast for today. Tomorrow, the one-update beast will evolve into a two-update beast~
The one-update beast is charging up for evolution~
