The Mind Stone, one of the six Infinity Stones of the universe, was not something The Other, the leader of the Chitauri race, could touch.
Not to mention that he had learned from Shafrin of the U40 Planet to burn his life force, and only with a strong will was he able to use part of the Mind Stone's power to repel Malekith, who was empowered by the Aether.
Although Malekith, the king of the Dark Elves, was merely repelled by this blow and did not suffer much damage, The Other, who had forcibly used the power of the Mind Stone, would not be without consequences just because Malekith was unharmed.
The consequence of that life-burning attack was complete incineration.
"Theoretically, The Other has no possibility of resurrection like Woz."
Woz, analyzing the situation point by point, presented the final conclusion to Beckett.
As a special being, half-mechanical and half-biological, The Other's resurrection only required a set of core data carrying past memories. However, it was unfortunate that Thanos's database did not contain any data about The Other.
"What about Chitauri Prime?"
Beckett immediately thought of Chitauri Prime, where The Other was born.
"Your Highness Beckett, are you leaving now?"
Gates, whose mind was still pondering how to create an Energy Devouring Beast recipe, sensed the unspoken meaning in Beckett's words and asked, looking up with reluctance in his eyes.
It had prepared a full table of dishes to welcome Beckett back.
"I'll be back."
Beckett bent down, reached out to stroke Gates's forehead, and with a flick of his right hand, Woz transformed back into a ring and returned to his wrist.
Under Gates's reluctant gaze, Beckett's figure instantly disappeared.
"Meow!"
The startled orange cat shrieked and clung tightly to Beckett's hair with its front paws, thus avoiding the accident of falling.
"Your Highness Beckett!"
The soldiers guarding the military port saluted in unison upon seeing Beckett land.
"Woz."
"The route has been planned for you, Your Highness Beckett." The revived Woz was as thoughtful as ever. After connecting to the data network within the Dark Order base, a small warship had opened its hangar bay under Woz's control.
"Lord Thanos, unusual activity has been detected at the military port."
Inside the Dark Order base, in the virtual conference room.
Thanos, listening to Corvus Glaive's report of the specific situation, heard Ebony Maw's report.
"It's Beckett, don't stop him."
Thanos, lost in thought, snapped out of his contemplation, glanced at Ebony Maw, and gave his instructions.
"Yes, Lord Thanos."
...
The warship carrying Beckett slowly landed on the harsh environment of Chitauri Prime.
The figure that emerged from the hangar bay flew directly towards the Chitauri Prime life cultivation farm, the place where the Chitauri race was conceived.
The Chitauri race, with their half-mechanical and half-biological structure, were all born in this cultivation farm, and The Other was no exception.
"Woz."
After confirming his identity, Beckett pressed the ring on his wrist. As the light flared, Woz instantly connected to the gene database of the Chitauri Prime life reproduction facility.
If The Other's core gene data had a backup, it would likely be found here.
"Woz is searching for entities with a similarity of over 90% based on The Other's gene model."
"Woz is searching..."
"Search failed."
"Your Highness Beckett, the Chitauri Prime gene database does not contain a backup of The Other's gene data, only the information regarding his birth."
In other words, Beckett could now create a new The Other based on the information left in the gene bank when The Other was born...
"You can't find it?"
Beckett had not considered creating a brand new The Other at all.
The subordinates he recognized had to be unique, not replaceable.
"I'm afraid, Your Highness Beckett, The Other does not meet the conditions for resurrection."
Calmly thinking, carefully analyzing, and with a moment's consideration, Woz gave his conclusion.
"Meow~"
The orange cat, perched on Beckett's head, jumped as high as it could, landing on the control console and attracting Beckett's attention.
"Rua."
It opened its mouth and spat out a piece of biological tissue imbued with dark energy, still bearing traces of blood.
"?"
Beckett, whose attention was drawn by the Energy Devouring Beast, frowned. The information about this piece of biological tissue was instantly scanned by Woz and projected onto the screen in his right eye.
"This is the biological tissue of Lord The Other, with Aether particles still attached."
With Woz's reminder, Beckett finally recalled that before The Other threw the punch that would have turned him to dust, half of his body had already been destroyed by Malekith's energy shockwave.
And this piece of biological tissue that the Energy Devouring Beast was now spitting out clearly came from that destroyed half.
After spitting out the piece of flesh, the orange cat licked its lips and proudly puffed out its chest in front of Beckett, extending its right front paw towards him: "Meow~"
It looked just like a pet waiting to be fed.
Beckett rubbed an energy pellet into its right hand, and the creature happily clutched the pellet and settled back onto Beckett's shoulder. Its orange tail brushed against the red tail behind Beckett, and it stuck out its tongue to lick Beckett's cheek, trying to please him.
"Woz."
"The power of the Aether particles has sealed some of The Other's core data. If it can be cultivated with the right materials and methods, there's a 50% chance that Lord The Other can be resurrected through this biological tissue."
The plan was to use the power of the Mind Stone to mobilize the residual Aether particle energy on this biological tissue, then use the power of the Reality Stone to alter its life state, and finally, based on the remaining core data, bring it back to life.
This was the highest probability of success that Woz had immediately devised.
However, there was one prerequisite: a mechanical component capable of withstanding the power of both Infinity Stones, which also possessed the potential for self-evolution.
Only then could the half-mechanical, half-biological life structure of The Other be perfectly constructed.
Such a demanding mechanical component was not available in the Dark Order, but Woz offered Beckett another avenue – the Cosmic Auction House.
...
Asgard, the royal palace. Hela, after bathing and changing, arrived before Odin.
"Father."
"Hela, go to the Cosmic Auction House on Knowhere. An auction will be held there in fifteen days."
Odin, seated on the throne, informed Hela of his request. He then took out a blue metal card and handed it to her.
"Take this. When you arrive on Knowhere, a man who calls himself The Collector will find you..."
Today will still be two updates, and starting tomorrow, it will be three updates throughout August.
Hehe, I've saved up some drafts, so I have the confidence to do three updates all month! (hands on hips)
