There are too many secrets hidden in the stars.

Every minute countless empires are destroyed in time, every minute countless civilizations rise in ruins, for ordinary mortal life, the immensity of the universe is only a vague concept, for those who have never seen the vastness of the stars with their own eyes, it is just an instinctive feeling of grandeur, but in fact, the real situation is a thousand times more magnificent than imagined!

And for mortals who can only run back and forth on the earth all their lives, in fact, everything between the stars does not have much meaning to them, and no one will know if there is a pair of indifferent or curious eyes watching their every move beyond the sky overhead.

Being alive is sometimes a burden, so heavy that we don't even have time to look up at the stars, and more often than not, we have exhausted all our strength just to live.

"Buzz"

A ray of light jumped out of the darkness, like a shadow over the gravel floating above a prosaic planet, and as the light slowed down, he revealed his form, looking like a slender tall human in black leather armor, with a ghostly pale mask, and a collar that stood up around his neck, making him look like he was one with his armor.

And in his hand, he holds a war spear intertwined with gold and black, separating the blade and the oblique blade at the top, and at the tail of the war spear, the same sharp spear head, obviously, this is a difficult weapon to use well, but having the confidence to hold such a thing means that this guy must be very dangerous.

He stood up on the suspended black stone and looked into the distance, where a large "legion" was advancing.

It was a dense pile of rubble, hovering like a "planet" in a special form, like a gravel storm in the universe, and everywhere it went, everything was emptied.

And inside those rubble, there are one "nest" after another of the Zetarians, these insect creatures also need to multiply, of course, their habits are similar to the Zerg, only need to have a "brood", you can spawn a legion in a short time, but the former brood of the Zetarians has been destroyed by Thanos, and now, they can only use this small nest to hatch new warriors under the orders of the new conquerors.

This effectively prevented the Zetarians from being reunited by a large will, and the speed of the birth of soldiers was definitely no slower than before.

In the center of the rubble, a huge throne suspended in the dark starfield, it was like a throne of overlapping obsidian, the layers were separated, and the structure that did not touch each other looked strange, and the lower layer also contained some special instruments that allowed it to move quickly in the starry sky.

However, the meaning of the throne's existence is to provide authority to the monarch, so on this throne, there is also a lord.

He wears a special shape of metal armor, solid gold mechanical combat boots, and a blue and gold helmet, his stature is not very tall, only 2 meters visible to the naked eye, but his body is unusually wide, he looks very large, he has dark purple skin, a large chin with overlapping wrinkles, and a pair of blue eyes, and the breath of his whole body is silent and restrained.

He sat on his throne, his eyes unfocused, as if he was thinking about some obscure question or knowledge, the nest of the Zetarians formed a huge group around him, and the dark star field behind him, like a background, set off the slow progress of this guy, this guy didn't seem kind, in fact, before the name of the Overlord became famous in the galaxy, this figure would be feared by the whole galaxy.

Sanos, Mad Titan, Slaughterer, Conspirator, Maniac.

These were his names, the names given to him by those who feared him, and for himself, he had always had only one name.

Thanos!

A villain title that sounds like a ruthless character.

The figure standing on the black stone saw Thanos appear from afar, his figure galloped through the dark stars, and in the screams of the Zetarians, he stepped on these suspended lairs, like invisible shadows, quickly approached Thanos in a state of contemplation.

Eventually, he stood on the large platform at Thanos' feet, his weapon on his hand, and knelt down on one knee towards the Lord on the throne in front of him, and said in a hoarse and gloomy obscure voice:

"I'm back!

"Huh?"

This awakened Thanos from his contemplation, his eyes reinvigorated, he looked down at the servant at his feet, and he whispered:

"Deathblade, my most loyal follower, what news have you brought back for your leader?"

"Great Thanos, that remote civilization is currently at war, they have been at war with some Heavenly Fathers who have returned from other dimensions, it has lasted for nearly 7 months, both sides have casualties, but in the same body, in the face of the Heavenly Fathers who have formed an alliance, the civilization of that planet is at a disadvantage. ”

The being known as the Deathblade General appears to have traveled to Earth, and he explains in detail to his master the current form of the place:

"The last two surviving islands of human civilization are struggling to confront their compatriots from other directions, under the control of the will of Heavenly Father, they are almost forcibly divided into two camps, but relying on the three Infinity Stones in the hands of those humans, they still have the power of stalemate and counterattack, but overall, that planet is very suitable for invasion operations!"

He raised his head, and under the hideous mask, those eyes shone with naked malice:

"If you hand over your invincible soldiers to me, I can guarantee that within 3 months, the war there will be over, and the Infinity Stones will be presented to you!"

"Three?"

Thanos ignored his followers' pleas, and he rubbed his chin: "How can there only be three?"

"Humans hold the two gems of mind and time in their hands, and the gem of reality is divided into two pieces by them for the defense of the two isolated islands of civilization against the will of the gods, which they do very smartly, even I, in that case, will not make a better defensive countermeasure. ”

The Deathblade General replied:

"However, according to the information obtained by Ebony Throat, the surviving human beings themselves are not at peace, a war outside the civilized world has been going on for 3 months, and the purpose of the war is not clear, but Ebony Throat told me that he guessed that the purpose of that war should be related to the fourth lesson Infinity Stone, that is, the Soul Gem!"

"The Space Gem is in the hands of the titular rulers of that galaxy, the Divine Domain from Asgard, and as I was leaving, the Asgardians seem to have gotten the news of your imminent arrival from some source, and they have begun to set up defenses beyond the stars. ”

Death Blade said quickly: "But their highest combat power, Heavenly Father level warrior, Lord of the Nine Realms Odin, is currently seriously injured, but unfortunately the Asgardians are very strict about internal monitoring, Proxima Centauri planned 2 assassinations that ended in failure, and according to the information we have received, Odin's injury is caused by the current controller of the power gem, the overlord Cyber Hawke, who is also from the earth..."

"Before he left, Cyber Hawke vowed to kill all the returning Heavenly Fathers, and now he has that power. ”

After listening quietly to all this information, Thanos's fingers tapped on the armrest of his throne, his eyes narrowed slightly, and finally, he said in a deep voice:

"Then withdraw them. ”

"What?"

The Dead General raised his head in surprise, and then heard Thanos say lightly: "Leave Ebony Throat there, let him play his own strange schemes, make the war between them more ferocious, drain their vitality, let them start an internal war before the final moment comes, and when the invincible overlord returns to Earth, we will watch him take his world and fight to the death with those Heavenly Fathers as bystanders." ”

"Asgard may perish, maybe they will come back from defeat, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that after the war, when they are licking their wounds, that's the best time for us to attack. ”

Thanos whispered: "Time is on our side, don't worry, my general, when those earthlings have found all the 6 gems for me, I will give you the opportunity to conquer that civilization with your own hands, and you will appear with my endless army to celebrate their victory, and cruelly take away all their hopes together, just like you have done countless times, take away all life, leaving only a pile of wreckage." ”

As he spoke, Thanos turned his head to look at a small galaxy in this journey, where there was a small planet that ignited the fire of civilization, although it had just entered the world of feudal civilization and had not yet begun to explore the star dome, but all this could not be hidden from Thanos's eyes.

He looked at the lonely planet in the galaxy, he snapped his fingers with a smile, and the starry sky rubble outside this galaxy was wrapped in scorching flames, and under the action of some powerful impulse, they swarmed towards this innocent little galaxy.

"Deathblade, you should know very well, what purpose I need Infinity Stones for, I have already failed once, I will not allow myself to fail a second time..."

The Mad Titan seemed to have done something insignificant, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head, looked at his loyal general, and asked again:

"By the way, where are my most trusted daughters? Gamora and Nebula, they don't seem to have come back to see me in a long time. ”

This question made the Dead Blade General silent for a long time, and it was not until 2 minutes later that he said with difficulty:

"Nebula disappeared after the Kree warlord and the ambitious Ronan died in the Rift system, and is said to have appeared once on Monarch, but it has been occupied by the local rebels, and it is difficult to find any trace of Nebula's existence. ”

"As for Gamora... She, she took refuge in the Overlord, many interstellar pirates have seen Gamora in the Overlord's fleet, and she seems to be quite reused. ”

After finishing speaking, the powerful general closed his mouth sensibly, he knew that now was not the time to talk more, and hearing this, Thanos's eyes narrowed suddenly, and he snorted meaninglessly:

"Oh, so it's sad that my lovely daughters have betrayed me and thrown themselves into the hands of a guy who thinks they can stand up to me..."

Thanos whispered, "I picked them up from the ruins, I gave them the best combat skills, taught them to protect themselves and conquer civilization, made them the strongest in this starry sky, and then, they reciprocated with betrayal?"

"It's unbearable!"

A flash of anger flashed in Thanos's eyes:

"Go, Deathblade, take your companions, and get my dear daughters back, and I will ask them what my father is not doing well..."

"Yes, great Thanos!"

The figure of the Dead Blade General disappeared in place with a thud, and Thanos stayed in the silent star field for a moment, feeling extremely bored, so he re-entered that deep thought, and the whole huge belt of rubble like a storm quickly moved forward, and soon crossed the corner of the galaxy.

And after Thanos left, this prosaic little galaxy returned to silence again, and the planet that gave birth to civilization has been completely buried in the fire of destruction.

What does mortal life mean for such an existence?

Perhaps, at least in Thanos' eyes, they are only used to proclaim the existence of power, no different from a stone that can be destroyed at will.

In other words, for poor mortal civilizations, destruction without warning is often just an uninteresting joke by the gods of the heavenly realm.
