Chapter 36 - Bloodstained Spear

The loose, black combat suit tore into strips and fell to the ground. In Hela's astonished gaze, Beckett's body expanded dramatically beneath the illusory full moon. In just a few breaths, a Great Ape with dark brown fur had replaced Beckett, standing tall on the land of the Jotunheim Royal Court and letting out a sky-piercing roar!

"This... how is this possible..."

Hela, who had witnessed Beckett's transformation firsthand, lowered the shield in front of her. She looked at Laufey, who was as small as a dwarf in front of the Great Ape, her face filled with disbelief.

"Son of Titan, is this... the power of a Titan?"

Recalling Beckett's identity as the Son of Thanos, Hela immediately thought of the now-extinct Eternal Titan race. Legends said that the Titans of old were as powerful as dragons, but even for a Titan, was there such a massive one?

How tall was Thanos again?

Hela, who had never seen a Titan in person, could only compare and infer Beckett's current state based on the information she had read in Odin's library.

"The power of a Titan?" Like Hela, Laufey, who had witnessed Beckett's transformation firsthand, also immediately thought of Beckett's identity as the [Son of Titan]. Laufey, who had never seen a Titan in his long years, gripped the great axe in his hand.

"Titan? No, this is the power of a Saiyan." Having completed his transformation, Beckett looked down at the blue ant at his feet, grinned, and stomped down.

Considering himself the last Saiyan, Beckett remembered his origins. Thanos had raised him and provided him with an environment to survive and grow. Because of Thanos's existence, this universe had become his second home, but this did not mean Beckett would abandon his Saiyan identity. Avenging his mother had become an obsession etched into Beckett's very being, and his Saiyan identity was the reason for his innate arrogance.

"Saiyan?"

Laufey, who was still pondering what this race called "Saiyan" was, felt a premonition. He crossed his hands confidently above his head, blocking Beckett's attack!

Bang!

A collision of pure physical strength. In his Great Ape form, Beckett stomped Laufey, who was full of confidence, directly into the frost-covered ground!

"Pathetic." In his Great Ape form, Beckett's strength had greatly increased. In terms of pure physical power, he completely dominated Laufey, leaving Hela dumbfounded.

Laufey, breaking free from the ground, looked at the Great Ape who had already turned his back and was about to leave. Anger surged within him. The cloak, tailor-made for him by the Wind Giants, detached from his body under Laufey's mental control, transforming into a red rope that quickly wrapped around Beckett's thick arms.

"I am the King of Jotunheim!"

With a leap, the great axe, imbued with the power of the mountains, shone with dazzling light in Laufey's hand, cleaving directly towards Beckett's massive head!

"Roar!!!"

Beckett roared, his bound arms struggling incessantly. But Laufey's attack was imminent, and the heavy mountains faintly appeared behind Laufey, who held the great axe.

"Die—What?!" Laufey, finally deciding to go all out, stared in shock at the Great Ape before him, whose mouth was wide open. An extremely concentrated energy wave was forming within its maw!

"Roar!!!!!!!!!"

With a world-shattering roar, a silver-white energy blast poured out from Beckett's gaping mouth!

Boom!!!!!!!

The heavy mountain illusion was easily pierced through. The great axe in the Mountain Giant's hand, rumored to be comparable to Mjolnir, turned into dust, completely annihilated in Jotunheim's cold wind and frost.

"So what if I'm a king? I've killed more than one king!" With murderous intent blazing in his scarlet eyes, Beckett's arms broke free from their bonds, and he tore the red cloak in his hands to shreds. His massive body left one imprint after another on the frost-covered ground. His thick arms grabbed Laufey's body as if he were crushing a fly, and then slammed him fiercely onto the ground!

Laufey felt as if his chest had collided with a small, hard asteroid. The searing pain, which he had only experienced under Odin before, instantly swept through the nerves that had long been numbed by the extreme cold.

"You so-called king is not worth mentioning." Not letting the fallen Laufey go, Beckett grabbed his ankle. The proud patriarch of the Frost Giants, the King of the Jotunheim Giants, was held in Beckett's hand like a tattered rag doll and repeatedly slammed against the ground.

His powerful body sent ice shards flying everywhere. Hela, watching from not far away, was dumbfounded.

Was the man who had no power to fight back truly Laufey, who had been contending with her father Odin all this time?

Perhaps he was a fake Laufey.

If all of this was true, didn't that mean Beckett already possessed the power to contend with her father Odin?

Hela's expression was complex.

After tossing him around a dozen times, Beckett, having grown tired of the game, released Laufey. Grabbing his ankle, he threw him directly to Hela's feet, who was watching from the sidelines. White frost covered Laufey's face, as if covering the tragic plight of this supremely arrogant king.

"Rejoice!"

"The great Titan, Son of Thanos, the esteemed His Highness Beckett, has defeated the King of the Frost Giant race on the land of Jotunheim!"

"From this moment on, Jotunheim will officially become one of His Highness Beckett's subordinate territories!"

The Other, holding a blue scepter, emerged from the ruins of the collapsed palace. Without even pausing to shake off the debris, he knelt on one knee towards Beckett's location, singing his praises.

"Honestly, here we go again." On the battleship, Woz, who had stood on tiptoe to turn off the artificial full moon machine, heard The Other's extremely fawning congratulatory speech and shook his head helplessly.

"His Highness Beckett, you didn't come out to help when he was fighting, but you're the fastest to come out and celebrate after it's over." Muttering, Woz retracted his slender mechanical arm into his pocket and pushed the machine away with his short legs as he walked back.

"..." Hela lowered her head and stared at Laufey at her feet, whose face was obscured. She raised her right hand, and Mjolnir returned to her hand.

"Ekkorú, ásaknámonak..."

As Mjolnir began to glow, a hoarse voice echoed through the skies of the Jotunheim Royal Court. Each ancient spell carried an indescribable charm. The fluctuating tone made The Other, who was celebrating step by step, feel an inexplicable pressure.

Rumble!!!!!!!

Lightning and thunder immediately flashed across the dim sky.

Gales howled, and mountains roared!

The entire world of Jotunheim, under the majestic power unleashed by this ancient chant, bent The Other's just-straightened back.

[This feeling... ?]

Beckett, who had just reverted from Great Ape form to his normal Saiyan form, frowned deeply, his gaze fixed on Laufey at Hela's feet, whose face was obscured.

The voice in that low, soft chant was exactly the same as Laufey's.

"Laufey, you're really going backward in your old age. You're resorting to your Frost Giant race's forbidden arts against two children."

A voice filled with powerful energy echoed across the dim sky. A blood-stained long spear, like a bolt of lightning, pierced through everything in its path and plunged straight into the ground at Hela's feet.

"Father." Hela turned her head in surprise, looking at the towering, majestic figure standing in the sky.

I just realized today that the contract had arrived. I've changed the signing status. Thanks to [zmy our love] and [Treading Snow Singing Song] for their tips~

After posting, I realized, why is the review stuck again???

Are they not letting me post or something...

I can't see anything forbidden no matter how I look at it
