Titan, Where the Dream Began

Why is the Heart of the Universe on Titan?

Thanos in by Thanos since infancy, Beckett was no stranger to Titan. Strictly speaking, this desolate planet could almost be considered his second home, the place where Beckett's life dream began.

His primary home is Planet Vegeta, where he was born.

After undergoing rigorous trials in the Dark Order, Beckett arrived on Titan to hear Thanos recount the history of the Titan race. That was the most relaxing moment of Beckett's childhood.

That is precisely why Beckett was so puzzled.

If the Heart of the Universe is truly on Titan, why hasn't Thanos discovered it yet?

"Woz."

"A thorough search is underway, Your His Highness Beckett." On the azure screen above Beckett's right eye, countless complex data streams flashed by, one useless piece of information after another, yet no abnormal energy source that might be the [Heart of the Universe] was found.

"Is this map fake?"

"Is the Grandmaster a hoax?"

Beckett frowned as he strolled across the desolate landscape, his gaze taking in every inch of the land beneath his feet.

"Woz has completed the scan, Your His Highness Beckett. Based on the information available, no unusual energy sources have been found on Titan."

The robot cat on the azure screen opened and closed its mouth, informing Beckett of the result. "Shall we go back, Your His Highness Beckett?"

Darkseid is about to escape, and the entire universe is about to fall into an endless crisis.

As Thanos's most valued immediate combatant, Beckett cannot afford to waste too much time on Titan with nothing to his name.

"No, there's one more place you haven't searched, Woz."

Beckett raised his eyes, his calm gaze falling on the distant ruins—the largest ruins on the entire Titan.

That was the core region of Titan, a place Woz couldn't access. Even Beckett hadn't been inside all these years.

Firstly, it's unnecessary, since it's all ruins inside;

Secondly, Beckett himself was not interested in that place.

It was all ruins, not even a decent chip left, so Beckett naturally had no desire to go inside.

Moreover, if Beckett remembers correctly, he encountered Thanos in the ruins there and was subsequently carried out by him.

Beckett still remembers how he kicked his legs frantically as a baby to Thanos Thanos's "child abduction".

At that time, he couldn't understand the universal language of the universe, and his communication with Thanos was all based on guesswork.

Then came Beckett's most difficult childhood experience: academic studies.

The sunset on Titan hasn't changed over the years.

As Beckett descended from the sky and landed on the ruins that had been deserted for a long time, the dappled sunlight that had dyed the entire hemisphere of Titan fell into his eyes.

Everything is just as it was back then.

The only exception is that Beckett has grown up, Thanos, with his golden armor stained with blood, is no longer there.

"Magnetic field disorder, Woz is unable to scan Your His Highness Beckett." Woz felt guilty for not being able to conduct a thorough search of this core area despite his best efforts.

"Can you find the cause of the magnetic field disorder?" Crouching down, Beckett squinted as he touched the edge of the small pit where he had been as an infant, thinking of a possibility.

The Eternal Titan who once lived on Titan have long since perished without a trace, and countless advanced devices have either rusted or failed.

Why is the magnetic field in this place disordered?

"Woz is collecting data for analysis."

The azure-blue robotic cat materialized before Beckett, its eight mechanical arms being pulled from its abdominal pocket and installed, before it began its calculations on the azure-blue screen.

Beckett, on the other hand, began his own manhunt.

With his senses fully activated, the Saiyan, now without a tail, began to grope his way inch by inch from where the dream began.

"Wait, where's my escape pod?"

Following the footprints of his infancy crawling through the ruins, Beckett reached the end, but did not see the escape pod he remembered.

That escape pod that traversed the universe.

"Did Father take it back?"

Beckett frowned, immediately considering the possibility, but quickly dismissed it.

If Thanos retrieved his escape pod, there's no reason he wouldn't tell him.

That's not something that needs to be kept secret.

Buzz...

Suddenly, Beckett seemed to hear a sound behind him.

He turned around abruptly, but found nothing unusual.

Buzz!

The energy vibrations grew stronger, and Beckett's hair stood on end. A blinding golden light instantly filled his body!

Boom!

A blond, blue-eyed Super Saiyan appeared, and the moment his power surged, the trembling earth cracked!

As if drawn by Beckett's power, the dilapidated escape pod burst from the ground and rushed straight toward Beckett, whose brows were furrowed!

"What... happened?"

Beckett dispersed the Energy Annihilation Cannon he had gathered in his right palm, looking at the "ball" floating quietly in front of him with a puzzled expression.

His escape pod?

Is this the incubation of mechanical intelligence?

Is it Supreme Intelligence, similar to the AI God that leads the Kree?

"The invaders from 24 years ago have been discovered."

Without the slightest warning, to Beckett's astonishment, the seemingly intelligent "escape pod" exploded on the spot!

The powerful energy wave spread out, and the ruins around Beckett were instantly reduced to dust!

"Waaah!"

Woz, engrossed in his calculations, was knocked to the ground by this sudden change, rolling seven or eight times until he was upside down.

Eight robotic arms used for auxiliary experiments lay haphazardly on the cracked earth, and Woz's eyes were filled with confusion.

Especially after it saw Thanos and Hela emerging from the Space Tunnel, it became even more confused. "Lord Thanos? Lady Hela?"

"Why are you here?"

"Where's Beckett?!"

"Woz, where is Beckett?!" Hela, anxious, pulled the dazed robot cat up from the ground and straightened its round body, asking impatiently.

"His Highness Beckett is here—" Woz, swaying his barrel-shaped waist, pointed to an empty area, his voice abruptly stopping.

Where is His Highness Beckett?!

Where has His Highness His Highness Beckett gone?!

It was just here!

"Time, turn back."

In the midst of his impatience, Thanos's calm voice rang out.

The light belonging to the Time Stone on the Infinity Gauntlet suddenly shone brightly. Time began to flow backward within the area designated by Thanos.

Beckett's blurry figure flashed past the two people and the cat, and Thanos's face grew increasingly gloomy.

"The Grandmaster".

Thanos calmed himself down and raised his right hand again.

He vowed that once this was over, the Grandmaster would suffer a terrible death.

It looks terrible.

"Time: Reversal"

"Space: Distortion".

"Mind Stone: Imprisonment"

"Reality: Modify".

"Power: Shatter!"

The power of the five Infinity Stones reset time in the blast zone, freezing Beckett's fleeting image in a brief moment. And in that instant, Thanos unleashed a punch that shattered the very rules of time!

Boom!!!

A punch is thrown!

The heavens and earth changed color!

The dazzling golden light instantly overshadowed the setting sun on the horizon, Hela instinctively closed her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, Thanos had disappeared from sight.

Where are they?!

Hela's eyes widened.
