Soul-Searching

In a major city on the Tyro.

It was evening, and the streets were filled with people getting off work, as well as children and the elderly taking a walk. There wasn't a single vehicle in sight.

Under Thanos's rule, society implemented a housing allocation system.

In other words, housing is allocated based on where you work, thus avoiding the hassle of commuting.

If you need to travel long distances, use the underground high-speed rail; you can reach any location on Tyro within an hour.

If we were to go to another planet, there would be specialized anti-gravity spacecraft to transport us to an orbital Spaceport, from where we would board Spaceship.

Therefore, there are very few vehicles on the ground, and naturally, very little pollution.

When people on the street saw Thanos, they all bowed and paid their respects.

This kind of greeting comes from the heart.

Because Thanos understood the importance of human nature, under his rule, everyone from the moment they were exposed to knowledge as children was instilled with the message of Thanos' greatness.

For example, they could broadcast daily footage of wars on surrounding Planet and then proclaim that their current peaceful lives were all thanks to Thanos.

Where else is there famine? Under Thanos's rule, population control and family planning meant there was never any worry about food.

Or perhaps the quality of life has declined in other places due to factors such as rising prices and housing costs, but here everyone is provided with housing, so there's no need for you to worry about these things.

With such constant propaganda, everyone will naturally feel genuinely grateful to Thanos for their current peaceful lives.

Of course, not everyone likes a stable life.

Thanos would be especially welcome to those who enjoy adventure and seeking thrills.

Sending these people to the front lines, and then fighting several brutal battles, those who survived will probably want to go back and live a peaceful life.

These people can go back and promote their hard-won peace.

Those who survived but continued to seek thrills were assigned to positions such as generals or strategists within the Black Order.

In short, all the troublemakers will be dealt with clearly and thoroughly, and they won't be given a chance to cause trouble.

Those who need to lie down will also have various arrangements made.

Under Thanos's rule, it wasn't the happiest place in the universe, but it was certainly the most stable and secure.

After wandering around for a while, Thanos found that everything was the same as usual, with no changes, and people were living peacefully, so he quickly went to observe other Planet.

Thirty-four hours later.

He arrived at the seventeenth planet of his journey, Redwater.

This planet is called Redwater because of a special mineral in its ocean that makes the seawater appear reddish.

Along the way, he saw that everyone he met was living a happy and healthy life, free from illness and worries.

After all, with current medical technology, there is no disease in the universe that cannot be cured, and since a family's most important asset, a house, is allocated, there are naturally no worries.

Seeing all this, Thanos felt that he was truly the most benevolent and greatest emperor in the universe.

Soon, he arrived at a mountain peak by the sea, gazing at the crimson sea and the azure sky in the distance, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.

This was the first time in his more than five hundred years in the Marvel Universe that he had so quietly gazed at a landscape.

He's either fighting or cultivating normally, and he doesn't have a single minute of free time.

After a while, he sat on the rock and quietly watched the sun slowly set on the horizon.

A gentle sea breeze brushed against his cheek, bringing a touch of coolness.

This time, he wasn't wearing his Tyrant Armor; he was only wearing a black afternoon break leather jacket and black trousers, looking like an Ordinary Person quietly enjoying the sunset.

Just then, a small spaceship appeared from outer space and flew behind Thanos.

Soon, Gamora, jumped out from inside.

Then she came up behind Thanos and quietly looked at the distant sky.

Compared to the unassuming and ordinary Thanos, she possesses a more heroic and Warrior aura, the kind that would inspire a desire to conquer in most men.

No wonder Star-Lord fell in love with her despite their race.

A few minutes later, Thanos, still gazing at the sun on the horizon, asked calmly, "Look, this world is so beautiful, why are there always people who can't see the light?"

Gamora looked at Thanos with a complicated expression and said, "Yes, why?"

Her feelings at that moment were very complicated.

Having experienced various adventures in the universe and met all sorts of people, she felt that her father's actions were wrong.

Freedom is the nature of life. No one should arbitrarily control others or decide whether they can reproduce, what they can do, or what they cannot do.

But years of education had taught her that her father's policies were the only way to make people live more peacefully and prosperously.

However, when she thought about how her father completely disregarded the lives of other beings when he absorbed the Star Core, she suddenly felt that her father was so cold and Coldblood, and was not a qualified emperor at all.

Thanos turned around, looked at his daughter, and said in a low voice, "Because everyone goes through a rebellious phase, just like children who always think about freedom but ignore the price of freedom."

Gamora into her father's eyes and said firmly, "But freedom is the very nature of life, isn't it?"

Thanos fell silent upon hearing this.

Yes, freedom is the nature of all life. Without this adventurous nature, how could life have evolved and developed into a brilliant civilization?

Humans created various tools to replace their own labor because they yearned for freedom, so that they could have time to do other things.

Otherwise, like in ancient times, people would be struggling to make ends meet every day, and how could civilization possibly develop?

However, this freedom is not Infinity.

When faced with life-or-death situations and the continuation of the race, everything must give way, and freedom is no exception.

However, people who haven't had his kind of experience simply won't understand these things.

Back then, Titan suffered from overpopulation and resource depletion, leading to countless deaths from starvation. Some even killed entire families for a single loaf of bread.

In this desperate situation, the Progressive Faction launched a coup and fought a life-or-death battle with the Conservative Faction.

Ultimately, Titan succumbed to the ravages of war and was destroyed.

But all I could do was watch helplessly as it happened, powerless to change anything.

Because he simply cannot conjure food, energy, living space, or other such things out of thin air.

Now that he has the power to change everything, he will not allow anyone to destroy it.

Thinking of this, he immediately lost interest in continuing the conversation with Gamora.

He turned around, looked at the rising moon in the distance, and asked in a low voice, "Any news about the Soul Stone?"

Upon hearing the question, Gamora immediately lowered her head, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Not yet."
