Conservation of Energy

Thanos looked at the wailing people on the ground and the arrogant elephant owner, and simply shook his head.

"This country has too much population and too little land, resulting in insufficient resources, which naturally leads to conflicts."

He recalled the place where he was born, Titan.

An incredibly beautiful Planet.

That place that was once like Utopia.

The people there once had abundant resources and lived in harmony and stability.

Because of the advanced technology, people no longer suffer from diseases, and Robot replace them in their jobs, so they have no worries.

For everyone, the daily routine revolves around figuring out how to eat, drink, and have fun the next day.

As the saying goes, one is born in hardship and dies in comfort.

The blissful life on Titan led people to stop pursuing technological advancements and stop paying attention to the future.

Only he noticed that beneath this wonderful life, destruction was beginning to brew.

He deeply understood that the energy of the universe is conserved; it cannot disappear or increase out of thin air.

As the population of Titan grows, the available resources become increasingly scarce.

As resources dwindled, all the beautiful scenes vanished.

People revealed their true, ferocious side, scrambling for food, water, clothing, houses, cars, and so on.

Some people, without even a single piece of bread, began to Carnage entire families.

At this time of greatest resource scarcity, he proposed eliminating half the population.

Completely random elimination, fair and just.

If the population is reduced by half, the resource problem on Titan can be alleviated, and the remaining people can continue to live happily.

But the result was obvious: his proposal was rejected without a doubt.

For this insane proposal, he was charged with murder and crimes against humanity, and subsequently exiled.

Ultimately, Titan was destroyed by war due to insufficient resources.

The current situation on Blue Star is similar to the initial situation on Titan.

In some places, due to overpopulation, there have even been instances where humans are treated worse than animals.

This is why elephants can trample people, yet no one dares to complain.

Because human life is as fragile as paper.

If population growth and resource allocation are not managed rationally, population conflicts will be further exacerbated as the population increases.

Ultimately, it will only lead to war and self-destruction.

The next second, the blue light of the Infinity Gauntlet flashed again, and Thanos, along with Nebula and Wanda, arrived in space.

Looking down at the blue Planet, he expressed his concerns.

"Look how beautiful this Planet is. Every moment it resists cosmic radiation, the sun's high temperature and magnetic field, and countless meteorites, nurturing life with its own body and protecting all life."

However, this Planet is only so big, with extremely limited resources and limited protection. If one day the population exceeds the Planet's carrying capacity, then destruction will come.

In fact, he also knew that he didn't even need to wait until that day. As long as the population of Blue Star increased a little more, the Celestial Tiamut would be born, and then the Planet would be gone.

However, besides him, only a few Eternals guarding Blue Star knew about the Celestial Tiamut, so he had no intention of revealing it.

After all, people at the level of Celestial cannot comprehend such things, and trying to explain would only cause them more trouble.

Nebula, upon hearing her father's words, gazed at Blue Star with utter fascination.

"But we have technology and resources, right? We can give them inexhaustible resources, and then there won't be any conflicts between us."

Upon hearing this, Wanda, a human from Blue Star, frowned.

"Why should we give them technology and resources? Did our technology and resources appear out of thin air? They want to enjoy everything without contributing anything?"

At this point, she had completely immersed herself in the role of Thanos's daughter and began to stand up for her father.

At the same time, she also thought of her biological parents.

They died in the war, their deaths worse than those of dogs; they had nowhere to be buried, their bodies simply left to rot in the Wilderness.

There's also the fact that he and his brother were locked in a laboratory for over a decade.

The endless torment she endured for over a decade has left her with no goodwill toward the United States, or even toward humanity as a whole.

Therefore, she felt extremely disgusted by Nebula's words.

Why should they be able to enjoy everything for free, while I have to endure so much suffering?

Is this fair?

(It was precisely Wanda's tragic childhood that ultimately led her to become the Scarlet Witch, and why she so desperately craved family affection.)

When Thanos saw Nebula's appearance, he immediately realized that the influence those Celestial had had on Nebula was too profound.

I realized it too late; it's probably too late to change the other person's worldview.

He also understood the Celestial's purpose.

They simply wanted him to accelerate the population growth of Blue Star, to the point where Tiamut had hatched.

In this way, the Celestial have managed to turn the tide in this game.

But since he already knew about Tiamut's situation, how could he still fall for it?

Thinking of this, he revealed a determined look in his eyes and said coldly, "This universe is like Planet, gradually heading towards its demise. My mission is to maintain the balance of the universe and prevent its destruction. For this, I am even willing to give everything."

"Nebula, from now on, you're going back to Tyro and confining yourself. You can come out when you've figured things out."

After saying that, he stretched out his left hand, and a flash of blue light appeared.

The next second, the Space Stone activated, creating Wormhole behind the Nebula and pulling her back to Titan.

Immediately afterwards, Thanos ordered Deep Blue to imprison Nebula in the Sanctuary, forbidding her from leaving or contacting anyone.

He didn't want his opponent to follow in Gamora's footsteps.

Only by locking her up can either the other party gradually come to their senses, or after I have conquered the universe, the Celestial will have no choice but to release her.

After he finished doing everything, he looked at Wanda with an admiring gaze.

Compared to Gamora and Nebula, the sensible Wanda is more like her own daughter.

Thinking of this, he reached out and touched the other person's long red hair, then said, "Let's go back."

Wanda nodded obediently.

Soon, Thanos took Wanda back to the Spaceship they had been on.

Corvus Glaive, Mister Fantastic, and the others are still here; they haven't left.

After all, the decision regarding Blue Star hasn't been made yet, so they don't dare to leave.

When Thanos reappeared, everyone immediately knelt down again.

"Grown ups."

When Mister Fantastic and the officials of Blue Star discovered that Nebula had not returned, they immediately felt uneasy.

Thanos nodded, then took his seat in the main seat.

Looking at the crowd below with varying expressions, he finally spoke, "I will give you twenty-four hours. If, after twenty-four hours, anyone still resists my rule, they will all be killed without mercy!"

He still needs to find the Reality Stone, and doesn't have time to leisurely play the Ruler game here.

If he weren't afraid of pushing the Celestial too far and having them use Dimension Demons against him again, he would have even considered a mass migration of people.

Upon hearing this, the Blue Star official was visibly shaken.

But no one dared to refute it.

After all, they vividly remembered the consequences for the person who had resisted before.

Besides, they've thought it through.

As the overlords of the universe, the fact that they didn't wipe them out is already the greatest mercy they could ask for; how could they possibly ask for more?

After a while, Thanos, seeing that no one objected, nodded and said, "Wanda, you are in charge of overseeing the assimilation of the Blue Star. Anyone who resists, wipe them out immediately."

As a human from Blue Star, Wanda should have a better understanding of Blue Star's situation.

This job is perfect for her; it also allows her to repay kindness and settle scores.

Upon hearing her father's words, Wanda immediately looked at the United States officials with an excited expression.

"Yes, Father."
