Chapter 1 carries the weight of balance
"Sanos!" A voice sounded in Thanos's mind, like the voices of countless people whispering together, and the voice whispered: "Sanos, the universe has lost its balance, a terrible catastrophe is coming, only you can save the entire universe." ”
Thanos felt himself suddenly appear in a cosmic void, around his body, countless ruins of wreckage, in the dark universe, quietly suspended, in the distance, were the three cantilevers of the slowly rotating galaxy.
The beautiful Milky Way shone with several brighter lights than usual.
In the light, countless magnificent angels with blurred faces formed by the convergence of countless rays of light with opposite wings and wings were suspended in the void, and behind them were countless stars that had cooled and burned out, and those angels were slaughtering!
They have wiped out the planets of life on the surface, and they are battling some magnificent, magnificent warships, and some relatively incomparably small human beings, and Thanos has some impression of them, a mysterious force that has recently appeared in the galaxy and is in fierce conflict with Thanos' legions and races, and they call themselves the Human Revolutionary Federation.
The huge Star Destroyer obviously comes in three different styles.
But those human warriors who are fighting against the angel legion, or can no longer be called humans, they are essentially in the embrace of countless flickering and shimmering space bubbles, inside the space bubbles, even Thanos is trembling with powerful energy and matter, and those space bubbles are constantly exploding and constantly re-forming.
Every time it bloomed, it caused harm to those angels, and every warrior here had the power to move Thanos, and he even felt fear.
Because every being here, or rather, every being who is alive and fighting, can easily erase him from the universe.
And this is just an insignificant battlefield in the galaxy, the galaxy is just an insignificant galaxy in the universe, under the control of that inexplicable voice, Thanos saw the galaxy beyond the galaxy, the countless galaxies, where many galaxies have been extinguished, some have been burned by the huge heat of chaos, and some have fallen into a cold dead silence.
There are thousands of galaxies, and there are only a few that have light and life flashing.
Thanos has seen the disappearance of countless planets and races, the destruction of thousands of river systems, the endless wreckage in the darkness of the universe, and the many beings that surpass those angels in those destroyed river systems, who are destroying everything.
Countless quantum information converges to form a huge consciousness body.
The concept of death that envelops several river systems is formed by the superposition of distorted consciousness algorithms after the death of life.
And in the embers of the destruction of the universe, those civilizations that still resisted, he saw the heroes in the embers of civilizations fighting to the end, Sunspots, Hackers, Black Bat King, Ganata, and he even saw the planet eaters of that universe, the race that maintained the balance of the universe - a group of crystal-like thinking bodies, their collective consciousness became the planet devourers of this universe.
But after the destruction of these previous eras, the only surviving civilization, with the mission of maintaining the balance of the universe, as the god of the immune system of the universe, left behind only a huge wreckage.
Thanos is overwhelmed by the sadness and fear brought about by this terrible reality!
He could not look directly at the terrible wars that spread across the universe, the plagues of destruction, the great deaths, and the famine of the embers of civilizations, countless civilizations were about to die, leaving only their corpses and thrown into the boundless darkness.
The voice said, "This is not a cosmic tragedy, but the destruction of the entire multiverse. You think it's the end, no, it's the beginning! The war, long before the timeline you could imagine, began, and an unparalleled darkness is invading the multiverse. ”
"To contend with it, all the great beings in the universe—the Court of Life, the Heart of the Universe, the Transcendental Protoss, the Observer, the Celestials, and the Nemesis—have given their power to the only five gods who can protect the multiverse—the Eternal, Infinite, Death, Annihilation, and the Planet Devourers, the conglomerate of the remnants of civilizations after the destruction of countless universes."
"They are the multiverse itself, and only they can stop the invasion and destruction of that darkness."
"After the destruction of each universe, the power of the five gods of that universe will be dispersed to the five gods of other universes, and it is by relying on this line of defense that we can struggle to survive in the wave of destruction of the superfluous universe."
"This is the great law of balance of the multiverse!"
"Once the balance is broken, that universe will come to an end, as you can see......" The history of the destroyed universe reappeared in front of Thanos' eyes, and countless images of war and destruction were drawn in front of his eyes, and such a tragic destruction made Thanos let out a painful wail.
"The balance in your universe is being broken, and you must stop this from going forward."
"Sanos, the fate of the universe is in your hands. Only you can save this universe. Organize this unimaginable invasion of darkness. The voice finally tired, and Thanos raised his head and wailed, "Who are you?" Why should you choose me? ”
The shadow of the voice finally appeared, and he silently looked at Thanos, and Thanos' eyes widened in disbelief as he listened to the voice, "I won't lie to you, Sanos." Because ......"
"I'm you!"
Purple-skinned, covered in scars from the tragic war, a figure countless times more powerful than the current Thanos sighed.
Thanos was silent for a long time before he stood up in the dark void and said, "What are you going to let me do?" ”
"Only you can feel balanced...... Thanos! Each of the five gods has an opponent, among which the goddess of death ......" A trace of tenderness appeared in Thanos' eyes, and he said softly: "Her opponent is an existence that is also called death, in order to distinguish it, we can call it - Death Knight." ”
"Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse!" Thanos uttered the name that stuck with him.
"It's the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse who destroyed the Titan civilization, but the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse of this universe are still in balance with the five gods, and what you see is just a little bit of their power."
"In your universe, the balance of horror between the Goddess of Death and the Death Knight is spiraling out of control. She is gradually unable to compete with that black, the goddess of death represents the concept of death in the entire universe, but her authority is being stripped away, and in the war with the death knight, she is gradually unable to support, and in my universe, in the end, she fails! ”
"When she lost most of her strength and fell beside me, I became her warrior to meet the unspeakable war that was so terrible, and in the end, she died in my arms. I inherited some of her remaining powers, but my power was insignificant for the entire cosmic concept of death being usurped. ”
"Only one thing, in the end, the goddess of death told me the secret of the Death Knight's victory over her...... Sanos, my universe can no longer be saved, only hope ...... You can take up the hope of your universe. ”
Thanos clenched his fists, he closed his eyes, and the image of another universe destruction repeated itself in his heart again, a tear slipped silently, Thanos opened his eyes, looked at his hands and said, "I won't let this happen again, I...... Will guard everything, even if it ...... Pay an unimaginable price! ”
"Tell me...... How to stop the balance from getting out of hand! ”
That Sanos took a deep look at himself in the parallel universe and said, "The power of the goddess of death comes from the death of this universe. In the long history of the universe, all life, without exception, will usher in an end, and this end represents the power of the goddess of death, so theoretically, no one should be able to defeat her, because all immortal beings in the universe, in order to resist the darkness, have given up eternal life and promised to die. ”
"But the state of existence of the Death Knight is very peculiar, it used to be the death of a civilization, the quantum entanglement form of consciousness after the death of countless lives, and it was just a humble existence at the beginning. But under the nurturing of that darkness, its power grew at a rate we could not have imagined. The goddess of death, before failing, finally understands the existence of a part of it. ”
"The end of a life will be death, which is the power of the goddess of death. But while it still exists, there are infinite possibilities, including infinite deaths. Therefore, the death power of life is not the most powerful at the moment of its death, but when it still has infinite possibilities, the superposition of the possible state of infinite death, which is unknowable death. ”
"Knowable death is far less powerful than unknowable death."
"With the advent of war, of course, the existence of life has been eliminated, but this infinite possibility of death has also swelled suddenly, and the unknowable death has become unprecedentedly powerful, and this is part of the power of the Death Knight. As life grows more prosperous, wars and civilizations continue to develop, unknown deaths will become more and more powerful. ”
"Until, destroy death itself!"
"That's the whole reason why the Death Knight seized the power of the goddess of death......"
"So, if you want to maintain balance, you have to destroy the unknowable possibility of death of life, and collapse their infinite superposition of possible deaths into a single reality. That is...... Bring death to them! ”
"How many lives am I going to kill?" Thanos said in pain.
"Unknown death, against known death! Although the death of life itself can bring the power of the goddess of death, it is insignificant to the power of death that has been ending since the birth of the universe. So...... "Countless concepts, data, and knowledge about death poured into Thanos' mind."
In an instant, Thanos received the knowledge passed on by him from another universe and became unprecedentedly powerful.
But he is also in unprecedented pain, such a close contact with death, brought him unimaginable damage, Thanos perceives the death of all things, and now when he opens his eyes, he can see the death of everything, he can kill all existence, but this experience brings endless pain.
Because life is not supposed to know death!
"Half...... Half of it! Thanos collapsed and said, "I'm going to kill half of the life in the universe with my own hands...... Why? Why? ”
The purple skin of Thanos of the other universe had turned gray, and at the moment when he fell to death, he showed an unprecedented look of despair, and he finally looked back at himself and said, "Remember, your goal is not to serve the goddess of death, your only task is to maintain balance." Not only is the balance between Death and the Death Knight, but it is also the balance between the Death Knight and the Death Knight. Because once the goddess of death loses her balance, her instinct for existence will allow her to destroy all life in the universe. Death is too powerful for life to cease to exist! ”
After saying that, Thanos of another universe fell to death!
Thanos was also shocked and distressed by the death of all things he saw, he opened his eyes and saw a galaxy of prosperity and life, and the essence of death in all this, he sat on that throne-like flying machine, silently watching all this, he loved this universe and these lives more than ever.
But he had to destroy everything he loved with his own hands.
In order to save the universe, Thanos decided to ...... Become a butcher!
Wipe out half of the life in the universe......
Ebony Throat felt the sudden heaviness and depression in his heart, he knew that only Thanos could bring him such a heavy and almost unbearable pressure that only Thanos could bring him in this vicinity, he hurried to Thanos, knelt on the ground and said, "Father, why are you so sad? ”
"I ......" Thanos couldn't put into words.
Ebony Throat looked up, but saw unspeakable death in Thanos' eyes, he could barely breathe, life almost left him, just when Ebony Throat was about to die, Thanos closed his eyes and whispered, "Eugy Throat...... Let me be alone for a while. ”
Ebony Throat wisely retreated, and cleared the starry sky where Thanos was.
He withdrew far away, deeply terrified of what he saw, and it took a long time for Thanos to slowly come out of the star field and whisper, "Summon...... My Legion! ”
