The ashes of the planet after the annihilation are still floating in the universe, and the new white-haired and white-eyed new Beckett exudes a cold aura that is not approachable by the living.

No, not only the living, but also acquaintances.

Neither The Other nor Mera, nor even Woz dared to fly to Beckett in his current state, for fear of being slapped and destroyed.

"Shell ............"

The icy water flowed through Mera's fingertips, and the empress, who wanted to stop talking, finally chose to make a move, using her unique ability to create an ice coffin in front of Beckett.

An ice coffin that fits Thanos' body type.

Although she didn't know what was going on between Beckett and his adoptive father, she knew that Beckett must be feeling bad right now.

She knew very well how much this man had admired his father, and opening his mouth and closing his mouth "Father once said" was a good proof of this.

But now, he killed his most respected father with his own hands.

With her lips fluttering, the comfort in her throat remained unspoken, and Mera finally chose to stand quietly beside Beckett and look at him.

Watch as he places Thanos' body in an ice coffin.

Mera, who benefited from this, also saw what Thanos would look like after his death.

There is no hideous face, and there is no unwillingness to die, and the wrinkled face looks like a sense of serenity.

If it weren't for the fact that she had just seen these two people fighting to the death, I'm afraid Mera wouldn't have believed that Thanos would have shown such a peaceful expression when he was dying.

The Infinity Gauntlet, which had lost the Mind Gem, was removed from Thanos' right arm and thrown into Mera's arms, and then carried the ice coffin on his shoulder.

“？”

As soon as he thought about putting Beckett into the energy barrier he had created and asking where Becket was going, Mera was speechless by what was happening in front of her.

With Beckett as the center, the planets that exploded before due to the aftermath of the battle were restored to their original state with a snap of Beckett's fingers............

Among them, there is Titan.

"How could it be ?!!!"

Such a scene that violates the laws of the law made Mera stunned.

The planet that has been blown up to ashes has actually returned?

"Can't you?"

Landing on the familiar Titan Star, Beckett, who was carrying the ice coffin, walked to the place where the dream began, muttering to himself.

[Beckett, I'm so proud of you, proud. 】

Thanos' dying smile still echoed in his ears, and Beckett put down the ice coffin and placed it in the place where he was picked up by Thanos when he was a baby.

Closing his eyes and concentrating his attention, Beckett is still trying to resurrect Thanos with the power of himself and the Heart of the Universe, but in the end he finds that it is still a useless exercise.

He can now restore countless planets that have been destroyed, but he can't bring a single Thanos back to life.

"Why ............"

"Is it because my father was contaminated with the energy of the [Heart of the Universe] when he died?"

Thanos' relief before his death was enough to make most of Beckett's anger against him disappear in his heart.

This is also the reason why Beckett wanted to resurrect Thanos.

He wanted to ask Thanos again what that sentence meant.

It's clear that they've already turned against each other, so why do you still say that kind of thing?

Beckett's inner emotions at the moment are extremely complicated.

The meaning of this is beyond his control.

After all, Thanos was his most beloved father.

If there is really something hidden in this............

"Woz?"

"Hey, what's wrong with you?!"

As he thought about it, The Other's panicked voice reached Beckett's ears.

Following the sound, Beckett saw Woz dormant after the power was off.

“？”

"The system data has been received, and Wads is actively merging into the ............"

His eyes, which had lost their light, suddenly lit up, and Woz's abrupt opening startled the nervous The Other.

"Merge and finish, Wox restarts the ............"

"Reboot complete."

After the chaotic data returned to normal, a touch of confusion suddenly appeared on Woz's face, who had completed the evolution of the database.

"Your Highness Beckett, I, it looks like I've taken over all the databases in the Dark Quadrant............?"

"What?" Beckett frowned, and then called up Woz's system data panel, and the (partial) marked on the permissions column was gone.

This also means that the current Woz is in control of the core and most confidential information of the entire dark quadrant, just like the artificial intelligence life form that only served Thanos back then.

And to do this, it is impossible without Thanos' authorization.

But, Thanos has obviously ............?

"Congratulations, child, you have successfully defeated me and become the new master of the Dark Quadrant."

"Father?!"

The sudden sound of the voice made Beckett turn around suddenly, and on the ice coffin cast by Mera, a virtual projection belonging to Thanos came into view in an instant!

"There is no doubt that this passage is just a video I recorded in advance. If I'm not mistaken, I'd be dead by now, otherwise you wouldn't have seen this message. ”

"Sure enough, the appearance of the [Heart of the Universe] means the end of the old era."

"It seems that my last resistance should have failed."

In the video, Thanos sits on a floating throne with a kind and kind smile.

Even when it comes to his own death, he is still calm.

"Woz, when's the imaging time?"

"Judging from the base system logs, this information from Lord Thanos was entered a day ago." Woz, who already had full access to the base, easily flipped to the result that Beckett wanted.

A day ago?

"I once told you that you are my proudest child. So I thought about it, and I left this message anyway, just in case. ”

"Believe me, you, Beckett, that you are indeed my proudest child."

"No matter what happens to you and me a day from now, that will never change, ever."

Thanos speaks slowly, with a lot of emotion in his deep voice.

"I know that you have always wanted to break the rules and become the strongest in the universe. But the test data after you absorbed the power of the dimension clearly let me know that you have no way to advance. ”

"Until, Darkseid tore off your tail, leaving a gap in the perfect energy loop in your body, and the High Heavenly Venerable found me and told me where the Heart of the Universe was."

"In fact, I know better than Gao Tianzun what the meaning of the [Heart of the Universe] represents." Thanos in the video has a hint of sarcasm in the corners of his eyes when he mentions Gao Tianzun.

"I told you that I know the Heart of the Universe, right?"

"What I said is true."

"The universe has existed for a long time, long enough to be divided into countless epochs. And in every era, there are people who belong to the destiny of each era. ”

"These people of destiny have all called for wind and rain in the universe, but in the end, they all died shortly after the [Heart of the Universe] rumor appeared."

"This is the reason why I say that I am the destiny of heaven that I have never told you."

"Because the appearance of the [Heart of the Universe] news is basically equivalent to announcing to me that my era is coming to an end, and a new and unknown future is about to begin."

"I just had a new idea."

In the video, Thanos next to the throne drew a circle on his right hand, and top-secret documents appeared in front of him.

"Beckett, every leapfrog growth in your strength is closely related to changes in mood."

"Waddon Arheim's anger at Malekis;"

"Saka's murderous intent on Iago;"

"The excitement of the race to the death when you detonate Hala, the home planet of the Kerry Empire, and the determination to fight to the death against Darkseid."

"Maybe you may not have paid attention to it yourself, but after re-reading the mission report of your strength improvement along the way, I found these similarities............

Beckett, who listened to the conclusion, was expressionless, but unconsciously clenched his fists, and his lips were a little pale from overexertion.

"I'm not afraid of death, Beckett."

"For a long time, the emergence of the [Heart of the Universe] rumor basically represents the end of an old era."

"And I, the grave keeper of this old era."

In the video, on the throne, Thanos, who said this, was still extremely calm.

He looked up at the starry sky above him, and even a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"But you're different."

"Remember the sunset I brought you back to Titan?"

"If I was the sunset on Titan in the old era, then in my opinion, you who are enough to open up a new era are the rising sun that will rise the next day."

"I am the gravekeeper of the old era, and you are the heir of the new era."

"You can inherit my ideals, my strength, my power. Then use them to open up a new future that belongs to you. ”

"With the power of the [Heart of the Universe], you are destined to be the only god in the new era."
