Astra sat down on the ground with a bitter expression.

"The toughest decisions require the strongest will."

Thanos's meaning is self-evident, and he has no ability to resist at all. He can't even beat Beckett, let alone Thanos, I knew that he shouldn't have said that much, but now it's good that the king of planet B48 is dead, and the person who needs to make a choice has become him.

Although Astra wanted to tell himself that the people of this planet had nothing to do with him, the old man's dying pleas always echoed in his mind and affected his heart.

It was as if a voice in his head had been saying to him: Don't say it, you can't say it............

"Can you tell me what you want to do with that gem?" Glancing at Beckett, who had already cleared all the warriors from the outside world and walked into the palace, [Astra] smiled and raised his eyes to look at Thanos.

"Is this important to you?" Thanos, who plunged the giant blade into the surface of the Crystal King's Hall again, looked at Beckett, who returned to his side, and asked rhetorically, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Ah, sort of. I'm just curious what the hell you want to do with that gem, even at the expense of the life of an entire planet. [Astra] lowered her eyelids, and a yellow light flashed in her eyes.

"War is always accompanied by sacrifice and bloodshed, [Astra], you should not forget that."

As if sensing the strangeness of [Astra], Thanos turned around, put his hands behind his back, and looked down condescendingly at [Astra] who was sitting on the surface of the palace with his head lowered.

"But wars are purposeful, so what is your purpose?"

"Maintain the balance of the universe."

"This universe has embarked on a wrong path, and it needs to be corrected."

"It sounds like a lot of fun." Although it was Astra's voice, it felt very wrong when it fell on Beckett's ears. This way of speaking is not at all like the style that [Astra] usually shows.

"Maintaining the balance of the universe is not fun." Thanos' voice was a little heavy, and he looked up at the endless starry sky. Closing his eyes, the images of all these years of hard work flashed in his mind one by one.

"What do you think of yourself? The creator of this universe? There was a hint of curiosity in Astra's voice.

"No, I'm just a survivor, a survivor after a disaster."

"Huh?"

Ebony Throat, who hurriedly stepped into the Broken King's Palace, saw [Astra] disrespectful expression when he spoke to Thanos, and just wanted to make an accusation, but Beckett who appeared next to him reached out and covered his mouth. Seeing this, The Other, who was holding the blue scepter, wisely stood behind Beckett and sealed his lips.

"My hometown Titan, it was like many planets, beautiful, developed......" With his eyes closed, Thanos stepped onto the Crystal Throne step by step. With every step, the image of his hometown Titan flashed before his eyes.

"But like many planets, it also faces a very serious problem, there are many mouths to eat, but there are not enough to eat. When we were in danger of extinction, I came up with a solution. The tall and majestic body sat slowly on the throne, and the history of the Titans was told in his mouth.

"Randomly wipe out half of your lives and bring the population and resources back into balance? What a novel point of view, Thanos. ”

"It may be cruel, but it's the only way." Thanos, atop the Crystal Throne, opened his eyes, his eyes full of determination. He has always thought so, and he has been working in this direction.

"Are you serious?" [Astra], who was slumped on the ground, raised his head, his eyes filled with yellow light, which contrasted with the green helmet above his head.

"The universe is finite, resources are finite, and if life is not controlled, it will perish."

"It's a simple truth, but unfortunately, only I know it. At least, I'm the only one in this universe who is willing to do something about it. Thanos raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist.

In the next second, the light in [Astra's] pupils was very bright, and his body gradually floated into the air!

"Interesting idea, although I don't agree with it." With a smile, [Astra]'s body suddenly appeared in front of Beckett's eyes, and he reached out and grabbed Beckett's right fist that seemed to be swung out as if reflexively.

"What about you? What is the purpose of your participation in the war? ”

Astra's question made Beckett frown. He tried to break free from Astra's shackles, but found that he couldn't. ‘

"Your Highness Beckett!"

The other in a panic instantly held his scepter high and rushed towards [Astra], and the next second, he hit an invisible wall and fell to the ground covering his head.

"Who are you?"

Beckett grimaced with an unquenchable anger in his voice. The hustle and bustle swirled up from beneath his feet, directly overturning The Other, which was still lying on the ground and wailing.

"Look me in the eye and tell me, Beckett."

Looking at each other, Beckett only felt a flower in front of him, and the next second he was already in the picture of the Big Bang!

The loud cry of a baby, the grinning of an ugly killer, the smiling voice of a mother, the pact with his adoptive father Thanos under the stars of the dark base............

The cacophony of voices was repeated, irritating Beckett's nerves one after another.

"From my ...... ...... in the body Get out!!!! “

"Get out of here!!!!!!"

Both hands clenched into fists, and the green tendons burst out. Roaring in the sky, a roaring wave of qi erupted from under Beckett's feet!

Anger surged, and the light directly shattered the ground under Beckett's feet, and the momentum of power continued unabated, directly blasting towards the energy radiation tower that was still spinning near the star core!

"You two fathers and sons, it's really funny."

Astra, whose body was already in tatters under Beckett's punch, chuckled, and the earth suddenly began to tremble. The energy radiation tower, which had just been hit by a wave of Becket's energy, tore the earth apart at a rapid speed and appeared in front of Thanos and Beckett's eyes.

A yellow gem voluntarily broke away from the energy radiation tower and appeared in front of Beckett's eyes, and [Astra]'s floating body fell to the ground, and the green helmet shattered in half because it could not withstand the impact of energy.

"Tsk, this is, Infinity Stones......"

Beckett frowned and reached out to touch, but was stopped by his adoptive father, Thanos.

"Your body can't withstand the side effects of gemstones, Beckett." Thanos' majestic voice rang out, and the arm attached to the golden armor took Beckett's place to grasp the mind gem floating in the air. In an instant, an extremely dazzling light accompanied by surging energy traveled across Thanos' body.

Beckett saw with his own eyes that his adoptive father, Thanos, who had never been injured in his memory, only because he held the Infinity Stone in his right hand, there were some gorgeously colored wounds on his chest, which made Thanos's expression change abruptly.

"Huh?!"

The Other, who had finally gotten up from the ground, only felt an irresistible force snatch the blue scepter from his hand, and when he looked up, the scepter appeared next to Thanos under the control of Ebony Throat.

"Lord Sanos."

Syllable!

With a crisp sound, the color and style of the King's Scepter, a sacred artifact worshiped by the Zitari clan for generations, changed color and style in an instant after the top was inlaid with a spirit gem............
