"What are you talking about?"
Superman's confusion startled the six people inside the other six Babel Towers. Especially Black Bolt; the entire Babel Tower plan was his brainchild, including charting new routes for the N52 Star.
These were already established facts written into the Babel Tower system. For safety, only Black Bolt knew the secret key to modify it.
"But the Babel Tower system didn't show we've deviated from the route." Black Bolt, startled by Superman's words, quickly accessed the Babel Tower's main control system but found nothing wrong.
"Kal-El, I suggest you don't spread false information at a time like this." Diana, her heart settling after Black Bolt's words, snorted coldly, extremely displeased with Superman's alarmist behavior.
Being sensitive was one thing, but being senselessly sensitive at a critical moment like this was too much.
Superman, Kal-El, didn't reply, his brow still furrowed, as if trying to pinpoint the reason for his illusion.
"Don't be too tense, everyone relax. Fishmonger, tell a joke to lighten the mood." Green Lantern, enveloped in magical green light, began providing magical shields for all the thrusters on the N52 Planet, allowing them to survive the limited bombing time.
"Your wife ran off with someone else." The scruffy man, who had just knocked down an interstellar missile with a fork, blurted out.
"You mother—!"
"Can you two stop telling these lame jokes at a time like this?" Diana, now clad in her armor, put a hand to her forehead in exasperation and thrust the end of her golden whip into a slot on the Babel Tower's control console.
"I was just stating a fact—Whoa!" The scruffy man, stumbling to the ground, looked in shock at the cracking earth beneath him, spat, and quickly retreated back into the Babel Tower.
"Guys, I have a bad feeling about this. Judging by the thruster power, 120 seconds should be enough for us to complete the first step, right?"
The man with lightning crackling on his arms used the Babel Tower's power to weave an electric net above the planet's core, intercepting all interstellar missiles heading his way.
"Kal-El is right, the Babel Tower system has been compromised."
Black Bolt's hoarse, low voice followed immediately after Flash's words.
"What did you say?!"
Everyone in the other five Babel Towers exclaimed in unison, except for Superman.
The Babel Tower system was a security defense system that Black Bolt had created by combining the technological strengths of the Kree and the Skrulls. It had been tested for years and its security was absolutely guaranteed. How could it have been infiltrated without anyone noticing?
"Hello everyone."
Suddenly, a synthesized voice echoed in everyone's ears. The phantom image of a blue robotic cat appeared on the control consoles of the seven Babel Towers. It scratched the back of its head with its small round hand, its large round face beaming with crescent-shaped eyes.
"?!!!"
"Who are you?!"
"My name is Woz, and I am His Highness Beckett's combat Artificial Intelligence."
"Beckett?!"
The moment Diana saw the robotic cat, she felt a bad premonition.
She had clearly seen Beckett put on the bracelet that the robotic cat had transformed into.
"Diana?!"
"Don't yell at me, old bat! Instead of thinking about that, you should be thinking about how to regain control of the Babel Tower!"
Faced with Black Bolt's questioning, Diana retorted furiously.
"It's no use. Woz has completely altered the system architecture of all seven Babel Towers. You won't be able to break through it in a short time." The sapphire-blue robotic cat waved its hand, pulling up a holographic screen filled with dense data that made Black Bolt's eyes bulge with rage.
He was very familiar with that data.
"No!"
"Everyone, get out of the Babel Towers! Now! Hurry!"
"It's too late." Woz grinned, but his cute smile sent a shiver down Black Bolt's spine.
The seven Babel Towers began to tremble at Woz's command.
An invisible pressure surged towards the Seven Leaders within the Babel Towers.
"What is this?!"
Diana, feeling as if she were sinking into quicksand, looked at the robotic cat before her in terror. She could feel the power within her rapidly dissipating!
It wasn't just her; the power of the other six people in their respective Babel Towers was also rapidly vanishing!
"When Woz entered the Babel Tower system, he discovered something very interesting. Mr. Bruce here actually recorded everyone's weaknesses within the Babel Tower system, along with methods on how to exploit those weaknesses against you."
"..."
The Six Leaders, their powers rapidly draining, all glared at the man dressed in a bat costume. The latter could only remain silent.
"What do you want—!"
As Diana's strength faded, she was suddenly struck from behind. The Other, wielding a scepter, unleashed all the grievances he had suffered since entering the Babel Tower onto Diana, a sight Astra couldn't bear to watch.
"Don't underestimate me. I am His Highness Beckett's most capable subordinate." The Other smirked triumphantly, standing on the fallen Diana.
"Bitch."
"The bracelet on His Highness Beckett's wrist was just a prop to fool you. The one on my wrist is the real one."
The Other said proudly. Beckett's trust in him filled him with pride and honor.
Earlier, at Diana's manor, Beckett had already prepared the plan for Woz to infiltrate the Babel Tower control center, for which he had specifically prepared a fake bracelet.
This was why Woz stood beside The Other, not Beckett, before Beckett left the manor, because the bracelet was on The Other.
"Now, tremble! Beneath the feet of the great Lord of the Chitauri, His Highness Beckett!"
As soon as The Other finished speaking, Woz had already used the N52 Planet's equipment to project the situation in the universe into the Babel Tower.
"Oh? Controlled already?"
Looking at the N52 Star, which had changed its course, Beckett, with his body's energy already somewhat weakened, had an even more bloodthirsty glint in his eyes.
Facing the still dense interstellar fleet before him, Beckett stopped his attack. He raised his right hand, and behind him, the N52 Planet was charging straight ahead!
"No! Don't! Please! Don't do this! You'll die too!!!"
The entire planet, instead of moving away from the fleet, was rushing towards it. The dense interstellar missiles made Diana's scalp tingle within the Babel Tower.
Without their protection, the N52 Planet's thrusters immediately suffered fatal damage. Coupled with the various natural disasters and earth-shattering events occurring within the N52 Planet, countless people were wailing.
"This... madman..."
The commanders of the two great empire fleets frantically ordered their fleets to retreat, but it was in vain.
An invisible vortex swept up all the warships approaching the N52 Planet. Beckett, who had raised his right hand, suddenly radiated intensely, and a shockwave pierced through all obstacles in front of him. The N52 Planet behind him, as if controlled by Beckett, suddenly accelerated towards the warships of the two great empires the moment he swung his right hand down!
Beckett himself also rapidly unleashed his full power to break free from the invisible force field.
Helpless cries, despairing wails, the collision of the planet and warships, mixed with irresistible death.
"Cry, scream, and then, die."
The brilliance of the explosion illuminated Beckett's face, the upturned corners of his mouth writing a cold sharpness.
Behind him, the spaceship modified from the Babel Tower was on standby. The Other, holding the Azure Scepter, stood on Diana, who had lost her power, chanting praises for Beckett...
"Rejoice..."
