Fairness has always been a controversial word.
Because this term has never been realized in a true sense until now.
It is precisely because of this that Allen is full of curiosity about Thanos who proposed "absolute fairness" and wants to know what kind of person the other party is.
madman?
Idealist?
Or the ruthless Butcher?
Why is he so persistent that he wants to eliminate half of all life in the universe, even if he has to pay a huge price?
Obviously, Thanos is not for wealth, power, or rights.
Otherwise, after achieving the goal, he would not have finally chosen to destroy all Infinity Stones, and stay alone on an unknown planet to become a farmer who works at sunrise and rests at sunset.
Likewise, he never expects anyone to understand him, or appreciate or praise him for everything he has done.
On the contrary, this guy is a loner from beginning to end, and would rather bear all the infamy to practice his own ideas.
No one knew what was going on in his mind.
Perhaps after witnessing his home planet's eventual destruction due to population expansion, Thanos became completely crazy, or in a daze.
Just like those who have almost starved to death will cherish food for the rest of their lives.
He also began to be afraid of the expanding number of life in the entire universe, and fear bred madness, and finally he came up with the idea of permanently wiping out half of the universe's population.
"Hahahaha! It's unbelievable! I never thought that the person who knows me best in this universe is you." Thanos suddenly laughed without warning.
There is no way not to laugh!
You must know that even his subordinate Black Order and his two adopted daughters did not try to understand his thoughts.
Just out of reverence and obedience to the strong, he subconsciously carried out every order he gave.
Gamora chose to betray outright, trying to prevent six Infinity Stones from falling into the hands of his "adoptive father".
But now, an enemy who defeated him actually showed understanding and approval of his plan.
Among them, the relationship between population expansion, resources and wars simply spoke to his heart.
Thanos has always believed that if the life in the universe is reduced by half, the remaining people will definitely live a better life than now.
Especially those lower civilizations that have not yet mastered leaving their own planets no longer have to worry about exhausting resources due to population expansion and eventually having to die.
Moreover, his method of annihilating the population will not cause even a trace of pain, while ensuring 100% absolute fairness.
In the eyes of Thanos, he is actually undertaking a sacred mission and responsibility to save the entire universe.
Appreciating the undisguised joy of the villain BOSS, Allen responded meaningfully, "This is normal. There is a very classic saying on earth. The people who know you best are never those who have the best and closest relationship with you, but your enemies."
An expression of approval appeared on Thanos's face. "These are very philosophical words. You came here specifically just to discuss these with me, right?"
"No, of course not. I just want to reach an agreement with you, an agreement that is beneficial to both of us." Allen deliberately added an accent to the word "both parties".
"Oh? Could it be that... are you going to change your position to support me?" Thanos asked with interest.
Allen shook his head without hesitation. "I'm sorry, although I understand your views and positions, it is difficult for me to support such a radical and crazy move. Your relationship with me is that of enemies, and this will never change. What I mean is that if you are willing to agree to some of my conditions, I will tell you the location of six Infinity Stones and let you collect it, without any interference."
"Please, I'm listening."
Thanos is obviously interested in this transaction.
"You must agree to two conditions. First, collecting Infinity Stones must take place in two years. Second, you must promise to find a place face to face with me for a Duel Gundam after you snap your fingers. If you win, you can collect all Duel Gundam as originally planned. Infinity Stones destroyed. But if I win, then you must hand Infinity Stones to me, and tell the Avengers who come to you at some time in the future that Infinity Stones has been destroyed by you."
Allen made his request calmly.
Obviously, he is taking reasonable advantage of what will happen in the future and taking the six Infinity Stones of this universe as his own.
Thanos was obviously aware of this, touching his chin and showing a playful smile.
After about two or three minutes, he responded bluntly, "Okay! I agree. But at the same time, I also ask you to agree to a condition. That is, you must not use the power of Infinity Stones in any form to restore that part of the disappeared population."
"No problem! I promise that I will never use Infinity Stones to resurrect those who have disappeared, let alone lend the Infinity Stones in my hand to others." Allen made a solemn promise.
Because this time, he will never give the Infinity Stones in his hand to anyone, but will merge it with the Azerath Universe he created.
In this way, no matter which world you travel to in the future, these gems will still have incredible power.
As the agreement was reached, both Thanos and Allen quickly lowered their last guard.
They know very well that there was no conflict between the two parties before half of the life in the universe was wiped out by snapping fingers.
In addition, Thanos doesn't think that he will lose to Allen again after getting six Infinity Stones and gloves.
In this way, an unknown transaction was secretly completed on this desolate planet.
After getting the whereabouts of all the unknown Infinity Stones, Thanos immediately ordered his subordinates to verify them one by one, and it didn't take long to get the answer he was looking forward to.
And in the next few days, he also had some in-depth exchanges with Allen.
Including technology, knowledge, philosophy, magic, fighting skills and tactics...
By the end of the chat, the two felt quite sympathetic to each other.
At least in Allen's perception, Thanos has gradually evolved from a madman into a genius with forward thinking and the courage to take responsibility.
It's a pity that this strong sense of responsibility that is different from ordinary people has turned him into the most terrifying existence in the entire universe.
In addition, Thanos also reminded Allen of another person.
He is Azerath Daimyo dingding's Lordaeron's first "filial son", Jaina·Proudmoore's rumored ex-boyfriend, Kael'thas·Sunstrider's love rival, Death Knight who defeated Illidan·Stormrage, and finally merged with Lich King Ner'zhul into one Arthas·Menethil.
When Arthas faced Stratholme residents being infected by the plague, he resolutely ignored the opposition of Uther and Jaina and bravely stood up to shoulder the heavy responsibility that did not belong to him.
In the end, he was completely crushed by the tragic result and embarked on a road of no return.
To a certain extent, Arthas and Thanos are the same kind of people.
They are stubborn, paranoid, and destined to never be understood by those around them.
Allen doesn't hate these people, and even admires their courage to stand up and take responsibility at critical moments.
If he had to choose one decision among Arthas, Jaina and Uther in Stratholme, he would 100% support Arthas.
But what I support is not the crazy move of "Lordaeron's No. 1 Dutiful Son" to massacre the city, but support for Prince's bravery and perseverance in not abandoning responsibility and running away at the critical moment.
As for Uther and Jaina, although countless players later cleared their names, their mere escape from the battlefield and unwillingness to take responsibility is a shame that these two people will never be able to wash away in their lives.
What's more, Jaina later committed the same indirect patricide as Arthas.
"Maybe I should try to change this history and the fate of Prince..." Allen muttered to himself as he narrowed his eyes.
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
Artoria, who was eating snacks, blinked in confusion.
Since Sky City started the "large-scale real-life game", her greatest pleasure every day is to use the monitor to see how the "players" who descended to the ground tried to promote the development of the entire world in various strange ways, but in the end they made all kinds of jokes.
It must be said that with the performances of these "living treasures", Saber can happily eat several more bowls of rice every day.
"No, it's nothing." Allen smiled and shook his head. "By the way, why didn't you create a character and join in this interesting game like others?"
Artoria replied without thinking, "Dragon Race, Night Elf, Tauren, Trolls, Orcs, Draenei, these races are not suitable for me. Maybe I will choose to join them when humans step onto the stage of history."
"Then you have to wait. It will take at least seven thousand years after the first Burning Legion invasion to end, and those human Horde will slowly develop and grow and become a force that can affect the world."
Allen thought for a moment and quickly gave the exact time.
If Orcs's large-scale invasion is regarded as the beginning of Azerath's modern history, then War of the Ancients should have occurred ten thousand years ago, and the rise of mankind was about 2,800 years ago.
Without time acceleration, even if we were to travel ten times faster to the outside world, it would take at least hundreds of years.
"It doesn't matter." Artoria shrugged his shoulders indifferently. "Anyway, it's quite interesting for me to watch other people play here. And those Night Elf who call themselves High Elves have begun to be bewitched by the devil and are preparing to build a giant portal based on Well of Eternity. I believe it won't be long before a full-scale war breaks out."
"So, War of the Ancients is about to start."
Allen stretched out his hand to feel the situation on the ground, and immediately noticed three uninvited guests sent by Bronze Dragon from the future.
They are Human Mage Ronin, Orcs Warrior Broxigar plus·Saurfang, and Red Dragon Korialstrasz.
"Are you going to participate in this war? As a mortal?" Artoria asked very curiously.
In her eyes, Burning Legion is too powerful, and both parties are not on the same level in terms of quantity or quality.
If nothing unexpected happens, even with the protection set up by Titans, it will only be a matter of time before it finally falls.
"This war belongs to Night Elf and the forest demigods. They are the key to determining the future direction of this world. As for us, it is more about observation. What's more, I will continue to pay attention to the war between Avengers and Ultron. After all, it involves Mind Stone. If you are not careful, you will create a terrifying monster that can destroy the earth."
Having said that, Allen opened another monitor connected to the outside world and looked at the scene of the chase and fight on the street.
There is no doubt that Ultron has used coercion and inducement to get Dr. Helen Cho to successfully help him create a body composed of Infinity Stones and Vibranium.
Not only that, he also input his bottom consciousness into it, intending to complete an unprecedented evolution and rebirth, and then artificially create a terrible disaster to force all humans on the earth to evolve.
And those old, weak, sick and disabled who cannot evolve will be brutally eliminated.
Unfortunately, this plan was only halfway through when it was discovered by the vigilant Scarlet Witch Wanda.
As expected, a fierce conflict immediately broke out between the two sides.
Although the twins hope to get rid of the Avengers Alliance, they do not want to see the destruction of all mankind.
At the same time, Hawk Eyes, Black Widow, Captain America and other Avengers also followed the clues and came to the door, and a road chase started instantly.
Since Ultron has improved its weapon system, many robots are equipped with amazingly powerful energy cannons.
Often a single strike can cause unimaginable damage and destruction.
After only a few minutes of fighting, a large area of houses and buildings on both sides collapsed, and there were countless casualties.
Several fighter jets and armed helicopters that took off from the United States military base were bombarded from mid-air on the spot before they could react, turning into huge fireballs.
The poor pilot didn't have time to parachute, and his whole body was swallowed up by the high temperature and flames.
No matter it is Avengers, the twin siblings, or the robot Burning Legion controlled by Ultron, they all have only one goal, which is to snatch the bodies of Mind Stone and Vibranium sealed in iron coffins.
"What do you think you will eventually hatch from that cradle?" Artoria asked in an uncertain tone.
"I don't know. Maybe it's the Vision in the original timeline, or it could be another Ultron, or it could be rebuilt with the help of Mind Stone New personality. I bet Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One is also paying attention to this matter. If something unexpected happens, she will stop it in time," Allen explained playfully.
Because he noticed that on the electronic screen of the iron coffin, the transmission rate representing the consciousness of Ultron had exceeded 70%, which was much higher than in the original plot.
This also means that Vision's character will have great differences and changes...
