Thanos, Life Mentor

"Tsk."

When his adoptive father Thanos spoke, Beckett released his grip, giving Ebony Maw, who had been nearly suffocating, a chance to breathe.

"Beckett! Are you insane?!"

Ebony Maw coughed and looked at Beckett in disbelief.

Beckett attacked him immediately after he merely made a joke about the Chitauri held no place in their hearts?

Is this still the Beckett he knows?

"Shut up." Beckett, in a foul mood, glared at Ebony Maw, the coldness in his eyes causing Ebony Maw to unconsciously clench his fists.

Since he became Black Order of Thanos's Thanos Corvus Glaive has dared to show him any respect, let alone Beckett doing so for an insignificant Chitauri...

"Ebony Maw, change course, head to Titan."

Ebony Maw, gritting his teeth inwardly, stood up and nodded in agreement.

Beckett, leaning against the pillar, remained silent, only teasing the orange cat on his shoulder with the energy ball in his hand.

Thanos, having observed the two men's Thanos, immediately changed course, and the massive spaceship flew directly towards his former home—Titan.

They remained silent the entire way, the atmosphere so quiet it was almost eerie.

Titan, the former home of the Eternals.

This once incredibly beautiful planet is now a desolate wasteland; a global catastrophe destroyed this advanced planet in an instant.

Beckett, who had just disembarked from the warship, strolled across the desolate Titan behind his adoptive father Thanos, letting the blazing sunset paint his cheeks red.

"Beckett, you know, I used to have friends too?"

"On this planet."

After walking for an unknown amount of time, until the massive silhouette of the spaceship was no longer visible, Thanos finally stopped, took off his helmet, held it in his hands, and casually sat down on a hill.

"Father?"

Beckett, with the orange cat perched on his shoulder, was puzzled.

How could he know about things from so long ago?

Thanos laughed, patted the empty space next to him, and gestured for Beckett to sit down.

"Titan was once a beautiful planet, but we who live on it are not beautiful. On the contrary, most of us are ugly."

"When I was born, they saw me as an outsider."

"Although they didn't say it explicitly."

"But I know that every one of them is cursing me in their hearts, and even fearing me."

"They fear that I, an outcast among the Titan race, will bring about the destruction of their race."

"But even under these circumstances, there are still people who are willing to believe in me and support me."

"In the end, I became one of the most learned and powerful people on Titan."

"And then they died?"

Having already guessed what Thanos wanted to say, Beckett picked up the conversation and asked.

Yes, they are dead.

Thanos gazed at the setting sun on the horizon, his eyes reminiscing about his younger self.

"Because of me."

Thanos didn't say what the specific reason was, and Beckett didn't ask. He simply sat quietly beside his adoptive father, Thanos, gazing at the sunset together.

After finishing its energy ball, the orange cat licked its lips, feeling uncomfortable resting on Beckett's shoulder. It quickly climbed onto Beckett's head, nuzzling its fluffy little head against Beckett's hair, making it a cozy nest. Imitating Beckett, it gazed into the distance in the setting sun.

"Back then, I was just like you, in a state of extreme irritability."

Beckett remained silent.

"Anger can give you great power, but believe me, anger can also gradually make you lose your mind."

"I've taken many detours, Beckett, and I've paid a heavy price for it."

"Therefore, I don't want you to be like I was back then, going further and further astray under the influence of anger, only to realize your mistake after paying the price."

"You know I'm rarely surprised, but this time you really gave me a surprise."

"So I hope this surprise isn't just a fleeting moment, you understand?"

Thanos's tone grew increasingly serious, Beckett in the setting sun, nodded. "I understand."

"You've always had a huge flaw."

Thanos, shifting his gaze from Beckett back to the distant horizon, sighed:

"You act too emotionally and not calmly."

"You can get angry over a small thing in a mission, and you can lose the ability to think calmly because of a vague and offensive remark."

"It's just that over the years, your strength has covered up this weakness for you."

"So this time, I hope you learn your lesson."

"It's not about abandoning your emotions, but about learning to control them."

"Let your emotions be the engine that propels your growth, rather than letting yourself become a puppet of your emotions."

"I understand." Beckett continued to nod mechanically.

Seeing Thanos stood up with a smile, holding his helmet and looking towards the distance of Titan: "Woz's data is backed up in the Dark Order. When you get back, go to the base and help him create a new body."

Upon hearing this, Beckett suddenly stood up, a look of surprise and delight in his eyes. "Father?!"

"Think carefully about what I just told you, Beckett. I look forward to the day when you will bring me even more surprises in the future."

Thanos turned around and gently patted Beckett's shoulder with his broad hand, the same gentle touch he used to give him when he was a child.

"Father, what about The Other's core data?"

"My child, you must understand that not everything in this universe can be perfect."

"... I see, I understand."

After returning to the main ship from Titan, Beckett put away his emotions and reverted to his usual cold and aloof Beckett.

Ebony Maw, who was handling combat affairs on the warship, didn't even glance at Beckett and walked straight up to Thanos.

"Lord Thanos, news of Corvus Glaive."

Asgard, the royal palace.

Soaking in the temperature-controlled pool to wash away her inner weariness, Hela twirled the test tube containing green Nutrient Fluid in her hand. Closing her eyes, all she could see in her mind was the image of Beckett beating Malekith in the sky above Svartalfheim.

[There's no way we can win; I don't understand.]

I am Saiyan! A Super Saiyan, surpassing Super Saiyan!

Hela's blonde hair flying in the wind made Hela involuntarily crush the test tube.

The women of Asgard never admit defeat.

She will definitely, definitely be able to pin this annoying guy against a pillar in the Asgard palace and choke him, and get her revenge!

It just takes time.

Whoosh!

A milky white mist enveloped her naked body as Hela stepped out of the pool.

The jet-black magic bodysuit automatically attached itself to Hela's body, completely covering her fair skin.

However, the tear in the thigh of the bodysuit that she had personally ripped was not repaired at Hela's request, simply because it was a shameful tear she had personally ripped off.

One day, she will be able to make Beckett bend down and tear his clothes, or she will become strong enough to tear his clothes off with her own hands.

Only when she washes away this humiliation will she restore the entire garment.

"Your Highness Hela, His Majesty requests your presence."

The maid, who had been waiting for a long time, bowed and said.

Thanks to [Zui Chen Xi] and [Strange Road Eternal] for the reward~
