Human Weakness
Just when the Blue Star were feeling hopeless, Nebula suddenly stepped forward once again.
She grabbed Thanos's hand, her blue face filled with despair, and pleaded, "Father, we don't need to be so cruel. We should give the people of Blue Star some time to gradually submit to us, so that our rule can last longer."
Upon hearing Nebula's words, Thanos suddenly narrowed his eyes and stared intently at her.
Seeing this, Nebula also met her father's gaze defiantly.
She felt that everything she did was for her father's good, and there was no need for her to feel guilty.
After a while, Thanos finally said, "Is this your idea, or did someone else tell you?"
At this point, he began to suspect that perhaps the Celestial saw that the situation was beyond saving, so they were looking for a breakthrough by targeting Nebula.
Upon hearing this, Nebula looked at her father blankly and asked, "What do you mean by what others said? Of course, it's my own thought. After all, the universe is so vast. If we keep killing, sooner or later the entire universe will unite to attack us. What will we do then? Only by using gentle methods to gradually subdue people can we maintain our rule in the long run."
Thanos shook his head and said, "I'll take you somewhere."
After saying that, without waiting for Nebula's question, he grabbed her arm and, together with Wanda, disappeared from the spot.
He wanted to try and see if he could correct his daughter's worldview.
In the next second.
Thanos then led Nebula and Wanda to a jungle area.
It was nighttime, and because there was no light pollution, the moon and stars were clearly visible in the sky, as were the massive Spaceship in the sky.
This tells us that they are still on Blue Star.
However, Thanos didn't bring them here to see the stars and the moon, but rather to a small village with flames rising in the distance.
"Just watch, don't say a word."
As he finished speaking, a group of people with darker skin were seen carrying buckets of water and starting to put out the fire, bucket by bucket.
Although people occasionally looked up at the Spaceship in the sky with worried eyes, the fire was slowly extinguished with everyone's concerted efforts. Then, several people ran inside and carried the people out of the house.
Soon, cheers erupted from the crowd, clearly indicating that the person being carried out was still alive.
Seeing this, Nebula became even more convinced of her idea.
"Father, the power of humanity is boundless. We should unite all forces to rule the universe for a long time."
Wanda saw the fire and the people being rescued, her eyes flickered, but she said nothing.
Thanos smiled slightly and then said, "Keep watching."
Soon, a series of "Hurrah... Hurrah..." sounds rang out.
The arrival of fire trucks and ambulances only heightened the tension among the crowd.
Soon, a group of people wearing red firefighter uniforms came down and began to yell at the crowd.
The reason for the cursing is simply that Ordinary Person are illegally putting out fires without a firefighting license, and they need to pay some kind of fine for calling the fire truck when there is no fire.
The first thing the paramedics did after getting out of the ambulance wasn't to inquire about people's safety, but to demand their appearance fee.
Faced with this situation, the crowd started cursing, but quieted down after the police cars arrived.
In the end, everyone contributed a little money, and that's how we avoided disaster by spending money.
After taking the money, the fire truck and ambulance drove off, grumbling and cursing, without even glancing at the fire or the injured.
The rescued people remained lying in the same spot.
The people who had been fighting the fire had lost their initial enthusiasm and unity and began to disperse.
Upon seeing this, Nebula asked in disbelief, "Why is this happening?"
Wanda still had a thoughtful expression on her face.
Thanos earnestly explained, "People can change. Even the most perfect system becomes meaningless once its implementers become corrupt. Instead, the foundation Rot faster and the situation worsens."
After saying that, he raised his left hand, and the Space Stone flashed again.
The next second, he took his two daughters to another place.
It's daytime here, and the surrounding area is filled with low or dilapidated buildings and dirty streets.
It's clear that this place is very poor.
Not far ahead of them, a group of pale-faced, emaciated people were lying on the ground.
These people had lifeless eyes, their hands and feet would twitch from time to time, or they would let out maniacal laughter, or wail in agony.
It looks like he's possessed by Devil.
Just then, a car drove up.
The people lying on the ground quickly and weakly got up, took the money in their hands, and walked towards the car.
A while later, several people got out of the car, each carrying a test tube.
After a series of monetary transactions, people held the test tubes and smiled happily.
But some people without money can only look at those who have received IVF with longing and madness in their eyes.
After the driver left, those people could no longer endure the physical torment and rushed over to grab the test tubes.
Soon, bloodshed began to break out.
Nebula saw this and immediately wanted to stop them, but Thanos held her back.
"This is a systemic problem. It happens every day in this country. How many times can you stop it?"
Upon hearing this, Nebula immediately exclaimed in disbelief, "Impossible! Why would they stoop so low? Their future is in their own hands, why not choose a better life?"
Having witnessed so much of the society under Thanos's rule, she saw people working diligently, with no crime, no self-degradation, and no corruption.
Even when they later searched for clues to the Infinity Stones in the universe, they went to those highly advanced civilizations.
Therefore, she has never seen the other side of human nature.
It's completely unknown what the lower limit might be for intelligent beings without rules, or perhaps there simply isn't one.
Thanos saw that his daughter still didn't understand his good intentions, so he shook his head, used the Space Stone again, and went to another place.
It is night here.
However, the surrounding area was brightly lit and bustling with people.
Looking at this scene, Nebula's previous distress finally eased somewhat.
There's an atmosphere of civilization here, and everyone has money, so it's definitely not like the previous two places.
After watching for a while, she felt relieved to see that although there were quite a lot of people, they maintained a certain level of politeness and civility.
Those two places must have been too poor, which is why there was corruption and chaos there.
It's different here.
People live in harmony and stability, and everyone is smiling...
Before she could finish her thought, she saw an elephant charge into the crowd and begin trampling people.
"Help!"
"Run! He's coming again!"
"Waaaah... my legs..."
Seeing this, Nebula couldn't help but want to intervene again, but Thanos stopped her once more.
Soon, the elephant left behind a trail of injured people and ran away into the distance.
However, people dared not speak out against this, because the owner of the elephant was someone they simply could not afford to offend.
Looking at the wailing people on the ground, Nebula couldn't help but say, "Father, why didn't you stop that elephant? We could have prevented all of this from happening."
I received three negative reviews this morning. I'm so upset and unhappy, sob sob...
