Titan, the hometown and mother planet of Thanos's birth.
An extremely glorious civilization was once born here, but it eventually perished due to lack of resources.
It is precisely because he has witnessed his own race depleting the resources of the entire planet as the population continues to expand that Thanos will not have such a strong sense of crisis, and at the same time believes that he shoulders the responsibility of restoring balance to the entire universe.
To put it simply, this guy was exposed to unimaginable external stimulation, so that his original three views completely collapsed, and finally became completely distorted and embarked on a path of no return.
According to psychology, Thanos is a typical mental patient.
But the problem is that his abilities and potential are too amazing, and his mind is extremely smart, so he slowly formed his own theoretical basis and logical system.
In his opinion, it is completely just for him to kill half of all life in the universe, so that the remaining people can survive better and not repeat the mistakes of Titan.
But Thanos never thought about it, what qualifications does he have to directly make decisions for thousands of planets and races?
It's a pity that there is no turning back now.
Right now, this man with blood-stained hands was standing alone on the deserted Titan ground. He raised his chin and looked at the sand-covered city in the distance. After two or three minutes, he asked without looking back, "So, only half of the task I gave you has been completed?"
"I'm extremely sorry! The power currently possessed by the Earthlings class is beyond our imagination. Not only Avengers, but also those Inhumans left over when Kree conducted the Gene Modification experiment, as well as the mages of Kamar-Taj, have all united together. Maybe dealing with one or two alone is not a big problem, but if we deal with them all at the same time, the two of us are really unable to support it." Ebony Maw knelt down on one knee and explained helplessly.
"No! I'm not blaming you, I just want to understand the current resistance of the earth." Thanos waved his hand indifferently.
I saw that his Infinity Gauntlet, which originally had many empty grooves, suddenly had a red Reality Stone and an orange Soul Stone.
There is no doubt that this guy has gone to Knowhere deep in the universe and sacrificed his daughter Gamora.
Four of the six Infinity Stones, should not be said to be five, are already under control, and there is only one last step left before snapping the fingers.
As a complete madman and idealist, Thanos has never felt so close to that "great" ideal.
It's like you can reach out and touch it.
As for the captured Vision, it is now firmly imprisoned on the ground by the power of Space Stone. No matter how hard it is to struggle or Hollowfication, it cannot pass through a small blue membrane.
Because which layer of thin arms represents two completely different spaces.
Perhaps after fully mastering the power of Mind Stone, he will still have a chance to fight.
But now...
Vision is like a kitten locked in a cage, letting the other party play with it at will, and even struggling desperately is regarded as "cute".
That's right!
This is the original sin caused by weakness and weakness!
Obviously, Thanos is not in a hurry to take out the fifth Mind Stone, but seems to be waiting for something.
Ebony Maw took this opportunity to describe all the opponents he encountered, and even retrieved the image data captured in the spacecraft.
When he saw Tony·Stark's Iron Man suit that combines technology and magic, Thanos said expressionlessly, "I knew he wouldn't let me get all the Infinity Stones too easily."
"You mean... these people were deliberately trained by Your Excellency Allen to go against us?" Ebony Maw cautiously probed.
"No! It's not against us specifically, but the power of the earth to resist the invasion of foreign enemies. He is using us to put pressure on these people and test whether those Avengers, Inhumans and mages can protect the earth and protect mankind. To put it simply, all this is a game to him."
When he said these words, Thanos's eyes were as deep as pool water, and the agreement reached by the two of them, as well as Allen's naked and undisguised excitement and joy, instantly appeared in his mind.
There is no doubt that he is now a hunter's prey.
Before collecting six Infinity Stones and snapping your fingers, Allen will never end up in person.
But when the fingers snapped, it was the beginning of a space battle between the two.
In this universe, no one can stop it.
If it were anyone else, he might be afraid of fighting such a powerful enemy.
But Thanos was not afraid at all, but rather eager to try.
After all, in his eyes, the whole meaning of his life is to permanently eliminate more than half of the population and achieve a perfect balance of resources and life in the entire universe.
After completing this ideal, perhaps having an exciting battle to end everything is a good choice.
Thanos will never forget how badly he was suppressed in the previous battle between the two, and it can even be said that he was completely unable to fight back.
But now, not only does he have Infinity Gauntlet, but he is also about to collect all Infinity Stones, and he will definitely have a chance to avenge his shame.
Just when Ebony Maw was about to say something, a short sound suddenly came from the communicator, followed by Cull Obsidian, who was responsible for vigilance in space orbit, and immediately reported, "Those Earthlings finally caught up with them on a spacecraft! In about ten minutes, they will land on the ground."
"Oh? Is it finally here..."
Thanos A flash of contempt flashed in his eyes.
Because he has never regarded these "superheroes" on the earth as his opponents, because they are not worthy at all.
To be precise, Thanos always has only one opponent, and that is Allen who is waiting for him to complete his ideal at the finish line.
"Please give me another chance to bring you the last Time Stone." Ebony Maw put one hand on his chest and bowed deeply.
You don't need to ask to know that he is quite resentful about escaping in embarrassment on the earth, so he wants to take this opportunity to get his place back.
But Thanos shook his head slightly. "No, there is no need for that. Since they came to the door themselves, it is up to me to tell them that given the absolute gap in strength, the number of people has no meaning."
As he was speaking, he walked alone to Vision and said in a compassionate tone, "I am very sorry, child. Although this was not my intention, I still have to kill you and take away the Mind Stone on your head. This is a sacrifice that must be made for a greater goal, just like I personally killed my most beloved daughter Gamora."
"Female... daughter? Kill with your own hands!"
Young Vision was instantly shocked and horrified by the amount of information contained in this sentence.
"Yeah. Even though it's sad and painful, it's all a price that must be paid.
Have you seen this desolate planet with depleted resources?
It used to be my hometown, and it was so beautiful that it was so mesmerizing.
But as the population continues to grow, countless resources are rapidly consumed, until one day the population exceeds the maximum limit that the planet can bear.
At that time, I once proposed that we should draw lots in the fairest way, and then kill more than half of the population, allowing the people on the other side to survive happily and continue civilization.
Otherwise, the final result can only be destruction together.
It's a pity that those in power at that time did not adopt my opinions.
They were frightened and took the initiative to escape.
As a result, as you can see now, I am the last person alive in the entire group.
You must know that the drawing of lots I originally proposed is absolutely fair, regardless of gender, age, origin and social status, even myself is included in it.
Since then, I have vowed to prevent a similar tragedy from happening again.
There are too many intelligent beings in this universe, so many that they have exceeded the limit that the universe can carry. What I do is to restore balance to the imbalanced scales. "
Maybe it's because his ideal is about to come true, or maybe it's because he saw Gamora fall off a cliff and die alive. Today's Thanos is even more sentimental than usual.
Normally, he would not bother to explain his original intentions and experiences to anyone.
"But this is not the reason for you to carry out the massacre! What right do you have to decide the fate, life and death of others from a superior position?" Vision asked loudly and angrily.
"Reasons? Rights? None of these are important to me. What is important is that I have the strength now, the unshakable will and determination. You are a good person with a kind heart and love life, but it is a pity that you are on the opposite side of me. I'm sorry, I want to take away the Mind Stone from your head now, and end your short life."
With a deep voice, Thanos canceled the spatial isolation, grabbed Vision's neck and lifted it up.
The other hand also slowly approached Mind Stone, preparing to use violent means to forcefully pluck it off its forehead.
You must know that Vision itself is the body built by Ultron for itself. It has an extremely complex circuit structure inside. Even if it is damaged even a little bit, it will cause it to lose its current personality and memory.
The latter is easier to say, but if the former is lost at all, Vision will no longer be Vision.
At this critical moment, an astonishing force suddenly appeared out of thin air, knocking Thanos straight away, and rolled on the ground several times before barely able to stabilize his body.
When he got up from the ground, he suddenly saw Allen who had just walked out of the other side of the space rift.
"What do you mean?" Thanos's eyes suddenly burst out with extremely dangerous light.
Because for a moment, he even felt that this was a signal to start war in advance.
"Don't get me wrong, I don't intend to stop you from collecting the remaining Infinity Stones. I just don't want a newborn who is kind-hearted and loves life to be strangled by you in such a brutal way."
As he spoke, Allen raised his hand and gently touched Vision's forehead.
The next second...
Mind Stone was taken down easily.
Allen did not show even a little bit of desire for this Infinity Stones, and casually threw it to Thanos.
The latter subconsciously caught it and put it directly into the groove of Infinity Gauntlet. He closed his eyes and twitched slightly as if he had taken snuff.
When he opened his eyes again, Thanos had gained the power of Mind Stone, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly with a very satisfied expression. "I see. I thought you were going to tear up that agreement."
"You are worrying too much. I am not in the habit of breaking up agreements and promises casually. What's more, I am very interested in your topic of easing the contradiction between resources and population by controlling population growth, and I am eager to know whether it can succeed. Oh, by the way, don't be too harsh later. I don't want to rush over soon to resurrect the dead."
After saying this, Allen ignored Thanos's reaction and directly dragged Vision and disappeared without a trace.
"Project? Is this treating my ideal as a social experiment?"
Thanos was not a fool, and immediately noticed the intention shown in Allen's words.
However, he no longer had time to calm down and consider these complicated issues. Instead, he raised his head and looked at the small spacecraft that broke through the interception and hit the ground like a cannonball.
boom!
With a loud noise, the Earth's first-generation spacecraft with Space Leap technology, designed and manufactured by Tony·Stark, made a hard landing, making a big hole in the ground on the spot, and slid forward about fifty meters.
Fortunately, the force field device was activated in advance. Except for a huge groove in the bow of the ship, the rest of the equipment, especially the crucial power engine, was basically undamaged.
When the spacecraft came to a complete stop, the Avengerss headed by Iron Man filed out first, followed by Doctor Strange and other mages and a few Inhumans elites led by Quake.
It is not difficult to see from the personnel composition that in order to catch up with Ebony Maw's circular spacecraft, they did not have time to recruit more people. They only slightly streamlined the original team with uneven strength.
Looking at the light yellow Mind Stone on Infinity Gauntlet, Tony·Stark's heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the valley. He suppressed his anger and asked, "Where is Vision? What did you do to him?"
"Vision? Ah! You are referring to that interesting mechanical life. He has made sacrifices for a greater goal and ideal." Thanos deliberately concealed what happened just now.
Because this is part of his agreement with Allen.
He will not take the initiative to violate it before the other party violates it.
"Sacrifice? Bastard! For Vision! For the blood debt of Dwarves family, I will chop off your head here today."
Thor, who had a good temper, jumped up high, holding Stormbreaker, and set off the terrifying Thunder Buster Gundam.
The extremely powerful energy immediately shocked everyone present.
After all, the last time they fought side by side, he was far from as fierce as he is now.
