Beckett the Successor's New Toy

That's a perfect match.

Everything made sense.

Thanos, his mind clear, revealed a hint of relief in his eyes.

That was the joy of fulfilling a long-cherished wish.

Beckett, on the other hand, seemed a bit Thanos in Thanos's thought process, which seemed cursed by knowledge, and asked with a puzzled expression, "What?"

"There are two Infinity Stones on Midgard, one for space and one for time."

"If Thor Odinson had simply encountered a formidable enemy, there would have been no need for him to take such a great risk to travel back two thousand years in an attempt to take away the Reality Stone."

"No matter how powerful the enemy, two gems are enough."

"Even if you are Beckett, the power of the Time Stone is enough to trap you in an Eternity time loop."

"Unless, what they encounter is me, who has already collected Six Infinity Stones."

Thanos's tone was somewhat wistful.

He was gratified that the ideal he had pursued for half his life was realized in the future, but at the same time he was also a little angry.

Because he had already figured out the answer to why Thor Odinson traveled back two thousand years to try and steal the Reality Stone.

Because that was the only time they could find when Beckett was too busy to pay attention to them.

Before that, Beckett's interactions with Asgard were somewhat amicable. For Thor Odinson to try and take the Reality Stone away from Beckett and Hela without them noticing was nothing short of a pipe dream.

After that, Beckett was exiled by Odin using the Space Stone, and only now has he broken through the cosmic barrier and returned. During this gap of more than a thousand years, Thor Odinson couldn't find him no matter how hard he tried.

"In the future, I will have collected Six Infinity Stones and will snap my the Snap like this."

Snap!

Thanos snapped his the Snap in front of Beckett.

"The universe has returned to balance as I had imagined."

"Thor Odinson must be unwilling to accept that his family and friends were randomly wiped out, so he wants to collect Six Infinity Stones again to resurrect those who died randomly."

At this point, Thanos's expression turned somewhat cold.

Let go of your sorrow, carry on with your burdens, and create a brighter and better future.

This was Thanos's expectation for the remaining life forms after the universe was restored to balance, but now it seems that someone has failed to live up to his expectations.

"My existence ensured that Thor Odinson and his cronies could not take the Infinity Stones from you, so they chose to go back in time, back two thousand years ago." Beckett, who had been led astray by Thanos's thinking, also realized why they insisted on traveling back in time.

"There's another possibility, which is that I chose to destroy the Infinity Stones," Thanos added.

"What???" Beckett was completely bewildered.

"Father, the Infinity Stones aren't—"

"Do you remember the question you asked me when I was a kid Beckett? What would I do if my dream came true?" Thanos reached out and patted Beckett on the shoulder.

"I remember, Father, you said you would find a deserted planet and become a self-sufficient old farmer. You would grow vegetables in the fields, wash melons in the river, and sit on the eaves and steps watching the beautiful sunset in your spare time, enjoying your old age in peace." Beckett had a deep impression of this description of Thanos.

Thanos's yearning for a tranquil life once greatly surprised young Beckett.

"The Infinity Stones possess extremely powerful abilities, but precisely because of this, they become exceptionally dangerous if they fall into the hands of those with ulterior motives."

"So, before I begin to enjoy my retirement, I will personally destroy the Infinity Stones." Thanos's tone was somewhat heavy.

That's why he made Beckett his successor.

Destroying the Infinity Stones would severely damage his body, greatly reduce his strength, and even weaken his life energy.

"Father..."

"Don't be sad for me, this is the path I chose."

"Moreover, I'm doing this because I trust you."

"Beckett, I believe you will become a leader even better than me in the future."

If you were still alive then.

Beckett felt as if his adoptive father Thanos's broad, thick hand on his shoulder weighed a ton.

Their eyes met.

Beckett felt he wanted to say something, but the words just wouldn't come out.

"In short, the reason Thor Odinson returned to two thousand years ago is most likely because I had already destroyed the Infinity Stones."

"So Beckett, do you know what you should do next?"

Thanos, still wearing the kind smile of an old father, withdrew his hand from his adopted son's shoulder.

"I know, I'll help them." Beckett nodded, his composure, cultivated by Thanos himself, allowed him to make the decision almost instantly.

Thanos was very familiar with the light that flashed in his eyes.

That was the light of wisdom.

"I will tell Loki to stop investigating and start the operation now."

"I will release this Rocket back to Xandar and to that space pirate man known as Star-Lord. I will also have people keep an eye on them and see who they come into contact with."

Beckett's eyes gradually hardened with a fierce glint. "Because anyone who has too much friendly interaction with Rocket is our future enemy."

There are six Reality Stones in total. The Time Stone and the Space Stone are in Midgard, and the Mind Stone was also taken to Midgard by Loki by Beckett. The Reality Stone and the Power Stone are in Thanos's possession, leaving only the mysterious Soul Stone, whose location remains unknown to this day.

"Father, will you be able to help me stop the Sorcerer Supreme who possesses the Time Stone?"

An idea gradually popped into Beckett's mind.

What do you want to do?

"I will lure Odin out of Midgard, and I will force him to tell all the people of Midgard that we want to take the Infinity Stones."

"With Odin's testimony, Thor Odinson and his men will definitely do everything they can to stop us."

"The best way to stop us is to find the Soul Stone, which has been missing for so long, before we do."

Beckett was very confident in his abilities.

He wasn't incapable of dealing with the strangeness of the Space Stone; don't forget that he now possessed not only the Reality Stone but also the Power Stone, which he had just found.

With sheer force, Beckett refused to believe that his Super Saiyan 4 power, combined with the Power Stone, couldn't shatter the Space Tunnel created by the now-aged Odin.

Once the strangeness of the Space Stone is dealt with, and with the Ancient One being Thanos back by Sorcerer Supreme, no one in Midgard will be his match.

Thanos, the old father, was very pleased.

"Come with me."

Thanos, with his hands behind his back and holding the Thanos of Cosmic Orb, led Beckett into his armory.

The gold glove placed in the very center was particularly eye-catching.

The glove has six grooves, one of which is already inlaid with the Reality Stone returned by Beckett, and now it is about to be inlaid with the second Power Stone.

"If you want the Power Stone to shatter the spatial portal created by Odin, it can give you a great deal of help."

"Now, set the Power Stone in."

Thanos tossed the Cosmic Orb in his hand to Beckett.

The smiles of the father and son gradually turned cruel.

I need to finish a newly revised drawing tonight, so I won't have time to update today.
