Chapter 297: Thanos (2)
Thanos' mother, Susan, ultimately failed to kill her son.
She's completely insane!
This is recognized by everyone, even her husband Arals. Because as soon as she is free, Susan will find a way to kill Thanos Baby.
She was unable to communicate, and her spirit had completely collapsed under the great fear. Helpless, Arals isolated her alone.
Strange looked at all this, shook his head and said, "If she had succeeded, maybe there wouldn't have been all these things that followed." ”
"Before a catastrophe, very few people could have foreseen it, and they were all defined as insane."
Li Mo touched his chin, "Don't you think it's strange, the birth of this guy is more like a fate." ”
"I think," Strange agreed, "we might find something amazing..."
…
Baby Thanos grew up under the careful care of his father Arals and became a somewhat melancholy teenager.
He has a strong mental strength and IQ, and his scientific research and learning progress has far surpassed that of all his peers in school.
He has an extremely strong physique, and the instructors sent by the military are far from his opponents.
However, he is lonely, and everyone except his father, Alars, fears him and secretly calls him a monster.
Finally one day, the young Thanos couldn't help it and found his father Arals.
Alars was indulging in his scientific research, and when he saw Thanos enter the lab, he waved his hand directly as usual, "Kid, go play by yourself, I still have important things to do." ”
"Oh..."Thanos stood there and hesitated for a moment, and finally blurted out and asked, "Father, am I a monster?" ”
Alars frowned, stopped the experiment in his hand, turned to Thanos and said seriously: "Thanos, my son, you are just a little different, this is the result of a genetic mutation, it has nothing to do with what kind of person you are!" ”
"But why am I the only one?" Young Thanos asked unwillingly.
Arals thought for a moment, stared into Thanos' eyes and said, "It's not just you, our entire Titans are genetically modified humans themselves. ”
Thanos grew his mouth, "No one ever told me all this. ”
"There's some long-standing secrecy involved." Arals smiled, "But you, as my son, are certainly qualified to know. ”
"Once upon a time, there was a group of powerful beings roaming the universe, they were usually more than 600 meters tall, wore thick armor, and possessed various incredible abilities, known as the Celestial Group."
"One day, the Celestials descended on our planet of origin and transformed the original population to give birth to our race."
"Later, for some reason there was a civil war, and your grandfather Kronos defeated another faction of people led by Yuranus. They migrated to what was once Titan, Titan. ”
"Staying on Earth, we actively explored the mysteries of life, and during a quantum energy experiment, a terrible accident occurred, but it activated the hidden power in our genes, so that we have great strength and almost immortal life."
"Because we have the power to direct the universe to exert supernatural powers, and because we live near Mount Olympus, the world often confuses us with the gods who inhabit the dimension of Olympus. Therefore, we also have another name, the Eternal Protoss. ”
"Later, your grandfather Kronos became the god of time and needed to choose an heir when he left. In order to avoid a fight with my brother Zuras, I led some of my people to Titan. ”
"However, the planet is on the verge of collapse, and not only have they had a civil war of their own, but they have also been invaded by the Cree and captured many people. So I took the rest of the people to this planet, and gradually multiplied to this day. ”
After hearing this, the young Thanos looked fascinated, "You mean to say that we are all gods?" ”
"Hahaha," Arals shook his head and smiled, "It's just a misunderstanding, becoming a god requires eternal life and the ability to create, and of course we can't reach it, except for your grandfather." ”
"The god of time?" Thanos asked curiously, "Is he in charge of time?" ”
"Nope." Arals shook his head, "He serves time itself. ”
Thanos seemed to understand, and then asked a little unwillingly: "Since he is a god, can you let me return to the appearance of ordinary people." ”
"Why?"
Alars shook his head, stared into Thanos' eyes and said, "I believe that everyone who comes to this world has his mission and meaning, and you must be the special one. ”
"Mission and meaning..."Thanos frowned, "what is the purpose of my existence?" ”
"Oh... My baby. Arals smiled and patted Thanos on the shoulder, "You need to find it yourself!" ”
In the void above them, Li Mo suddenly said, "So that's the case. ”
Seeing that Strange was a little confused, Li Mo explained: "I have seen the remains of the Titans on Titan, and I have seen a petroglyph in the secret laboratory of the Vatican, which shows that Olympus once had a terrible explosion and turmoil, and then split and the gods flew to the stars. ”
"It makes me suspect that the Thanos family originated on Earth, and it seems that my guess is correct."
Strange spread his hands and said, "But that doesn't explain why Thanos always resurrects, after all, all of them are dead. ”
Li Mo also nodded, "This guy must have another chance." ”
…
After listening to his father Arals, the young Thanos devoted all his energy to his studies and research.
But as his knowledge continued to grow, his confusion and doubts became more and more.
Why is he like this?
What is he doing here?
Eventually, the young Thanos set his sights on the life sciences, hoping to find the answer.
In the first anatomy class...
Thanos held the scalpel and looked at the shattered animals in front of him, the red and white muscle fascia, the blood that had coagulated and blackened, and the bare white bones, and his heart suddenly swelled with great fear.
He stumbled out, leaning against the wall in the doorway and throwing up frantically.
It wasn't because of the autopsy, it was just a dead thing.
Thanos knew that he had developed a fear of himself.
"Wow... It's going to be like that for the first time, but you're exaggerating. A soft voice suddenly sounded beside him.
Thanos turned around and saw that it was a girl wearing the traditional black tights and golden armor of the Titans.
She has long black and shiny hair and delicate facial features, and her eyes are full of smiles.
This is the first time that there are peers, or girls, talking to Thanos.
Young Thanos suddenly stammered, he could feel that this girl was completely different from others, not only did not look at him with fear, but was full of appreciation.
Thanos' melancholy heart suddenly bloomed like a flower, and he scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Am I useless?" ”
"I don't think so." The girl shrugged, "Everyone is born different, just be yourself." ”
After saying that, the girl turned and left.
Thanos hesitated for a moment and asked in a loud voice behind his back, "Can I know your name?" ”
The girl didn't answer, just turned around and smiled brightly.
In the time that followed, Thanos and the girl often met, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became.
Thanos feels like he's in love, and he's in a good mood with a smile on everyone's face, and he's got to know a few friends at the same time.
One day, when they get together to discuss where to play, the girl suddenly proposes to venture into a cave.
Thanos happily asked a few companions and went to a cave in the Gobi Desert on the planet.
It's damp, cold, dark, and full of weird and terrifying atmospheres.
While the rest of the companions were scared and wanted to go home, Thanos excitedly kept digging deeper into the cavern.
Suddenly, the cave collapses, isolating Thanos from his companions.
In the darkness, the sound of Si Si Suo's voice sounded, and Thanos turned on the light in horror to see that it was some small lizards that looked cute on the outside.
Thanos shook his head with a smile, looked at the communicator in his hand and found that there was no signal, so he decided to open the cave with his bare hands.
The section of the collapse was very long, and even the strong body of the young Thanos felt tired and thirsty.
He looked at the little lizard that had become a friend lying on his shoulder, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, even if I starve to death, I won't treat you as a snack." ”
After more than ten hours of digging, Thanos finally opened a way back, but the scene in front of him made him completely dumbfounded.
His companions were all torn apart, and the killer was a group of massive lizards, the adult body of the small lizard on his shoulder.
Thanos' head went blank and he walked out of the cave in a daze, strangely the lizards didn't attack him.
This accident left Thanos in a state of confusion for several days, staying alone by the river every day to watch the sunrise and sunset.
"What's wrong with you?" The girl suddenly appeared next to him again.
"So you're still alive!" Thanos looked surprised, "How did you escape?" ”
The girl did not answer, but sat next to Thanos, looked at the sky and said, "What are you worried about, the death of your companion is a foregone conclusion, you should do what you have to do." ”
"What should I do?" Thanos asked with some hesitation.
The girl smiled, "This... Ask yourself! ”
Thanos was silent for a moment, then turned to look at the sunset on the horizon, his eyes full of struggle.
Finally, when the moon rose, he returned to the cave with a knife and walked in without hesitation. Shrill screams and roars followed...
Standing among the fragments of flesh and blood all over the ground, Thanos, who was holding a knife, closed his eyes deeply.
"How are you feeling?" The girl asked next to her.
Thanos suddenly shuddered, "This feeling... Why is the satisfaction that comes from the body happening? ”
The girl smiled, "Be yourself!" ”
…
The death of his companion left Thanos alone again, and many of his fellow citizens saw him as ominous, not only isolated but also pointing fingers behind his back.
However, Thanos didn't take it to heart, not only with the company of the girl, but also because he overcame the psychological barrier of killing, he devoted his energy to life science research.
He dissected everything he could find on the planet, but his doubts grew.
In order to unravel his mysteries, he finally decided to conduct human trials.
However, because of the long peace on Titan and the long lifespan of the people, it is difficult to get a suitable corpse.
Itching, Thanos finally found two classmates who had a good relationship with him.
"It's a safe medical observation, just to see what the difference is between our genes." Thanos patiently explained to the two classmates.
However, the two classmates were like frightened beasts, trembling and wanting to leave.
"I've never hurt anyone." Thanos frowned and stopped the two, "Why are you so afraid of me, just because I look different from you?" ”
"You're a madman!"
A female classmate suddenly broke down and cried, "Everyone sees that you talk to the air a lot, like there's really something there, and you make everyone scared!" ”
Thanos' eyes widened, and he pointed at the girl and said, "She's right there, can't you see it?" ”
"There's nothing there!" The male classmate pushed Thanos away, "You're already crazy..."
"Nonsense!" Thanos's eyes were instantly bloodshot, and he grabbed the necks of the two classmates one by one and held them in the air, "She's there!" She's right there..."
The two classmates gradually lost their breath, and Thanos threw down the two corpses in some horror, stumbling on the ground and panting.
The girl watched all this with a smile on the side, and seemed to be very satisfied with Thanos's performance.
Thanos looked at the girl dejectedly, "Are you just my fantasy, am I really crazy?" ”
The girl smiled, "You're not crazy, you're just the special one, they can't see me at all." ”
Thanos cried bitterly and held the girl's hands at once, "I love you, I don't know why I just love you, even if you are my fantasy, it doesn't matter." ”
The girl smiled and quietly withdrew her hand, "Of course you will love me, because although you try your best to suppress it, you can't resist your fate, you love death..."
"And I, death itself!"
Thanos seemed to understand a lot of things at once, and leaned against the wall with a depressed and confused face, "I have memories since I was born, and I clearly remember that my mother wanted to kill me, so I never dared to see her. ”
"She's right, I'm a monster!"
"Oh, poor little girl—" The girl suddenly turned around and cupped Thanos' face with her hands.
"Death is only the purest balance between the universe, there is no good and evil in itself, if there is only life and no death, the universe will die soon, so, hug me!"
The girl kissed as she spoke, and Thanos hugged her waist hard.
The girl kissed Thanos, but her eyes drifted to one side.
There, it was Li Mo and Strange, who were already scared a little weak...
