From a distance, the Dark Quadrant appears to be indistinguishable from the countless ordinary small moons in the universe.

But this is one of the most dangerous places in the universe.

Because this is the territory of Mad Titans Thanos, the planet is full of fortresses of the Dark Order.

The Dark Order, an invincible army of cosmic mercenaries, pirates, rebels, and slavers, has slaughtered countless planets and terrified countless people under the leadership of Thanos.

The great tyrant Thanos rules this army of all evils with iron-blooded and ruthless means, governing them in a subservient manner, obeying his orders and obeying his will.

In the center of the satellite land, a giant tower-like fortress stands.

The door to the room at the top of the tower that belonged to the ruler of the planet had not been opened for a long time.

Dongdong.

There was a sound of footsteps, and Thanos' most loyal servant, Ebony Throat, slowly came to the door that had been closed for a long time.

"Lord Sanos, it's been a long time since you've been in front of your army.

They are all a little worried about you. ”

"What?

Thought I was going to be crushed by a small loss? ”

A powerful voice came from the depths of the room, through the steel door.

The voice still seems to be full of energy, but it seems to sound a little different from the past.

Ebony Throat looked a little puzzled and bowed his head in reply.

"Of course not, we all know that letting the Zetarians attack Earth is just a small temptation on your part."

After a pause, he hesitated to mention a piece of news that was gradually spreading in the universe.

"Lord Sanos...... Ronan is dead.

Did you know? ”

"Ronan, that boyish boy?

I cooperated with him, handed over my two daughters to him, and helped him expand his power in the northern and southern wars.

He searched for me in the universe for the whereabouts of the gem. ”

Thanos said contemptuously and angrily.

"He failed my expectations and died at the hands of the Inhumans."

The attack on Earth was a failure, and Ronan's death at the hands of the Inhumans had made another investment go down the drain.

Ronan is a member of the supreme control of one of the most powerful empires in the universe, the Kree Empire, and he is able to mobilize vast resources and intelligence.

He despised Ronan's insight and strength, but he had to admit that Ronan might be able to find the gem faster than he could.

"But ......"

In the room, the voice calmed down.

"That doesn't matter anymore.

I decided to go and find the gems myself. ”

"My lord?

Is the time come? ”

Ebony Throat exclaimed.

He knew Thanos' plan to slaughter half of the universe with a snap of his fingers.

In fact, the upper echelons of the Dark Order knew about this plan.

What a crazy and grandiose plan, the one who accomplished it is destined to be remembered forever in the history of the universe.

But Thanos remembers telling them that the plan was not yet ready to be implemented.

Because the action must be fast, it is impossible to collect all the Infinity Stones in a very short time, and it will be troublesome for the guardians of some of these gems to be on guard.

“……”

There was silence in the room, it wasn't supposed to be this according to Thanos' plan, but he had no other choice.

Ronan is dead, how is he going to find a new collaborator?

It's hard to find a simple-minded, arrogant, easy-willed, and easy-to-deal ruler of the Cosmic Empire like Ronan.

In case the plan is exposed......

Card......

The door to the room suddenly opened.

In the gloomy room, a tall and majestic figure sat on a levitating throne, looking into the distance.

The Dark Quadrant is not a planet with beautiful scenery, there is only a dead earth in the distance, and he seems to be looking at a piece of death.

"Lord Sanos? ……”

The atmosphere was low, and there seemed to be a terrifying monster hidden in the depths of the room that was enough to destroy the universe, Ebony Throat slowly approached, swallowed his saliva, and screamed tentatively.

He had never felt such a terrible aura.

"Ebony Throat, how many planets have I taken you to in the past?"

Thanos, who was on the throne, asked slowly without looking back.

"I don't remember exactly, my lord."

He looked down and replied, struggling to recall, his tone uncertain.

"There are so many planets that we have conquered and saved.

There are probably more than a thousand. ”

"More than a thousand worlds have been saved by me.

But no other world can understand my greatness and compassion. ”

A deep, deep voice rang out in the room, with a surging sadness.

As he got closer, Ebony Throat's expression changed slightly, and he finally heard that something was wrong.

Master Sanos's voice sounded ...... A little old?

"Every world is doing everything in its power to stop my salvation.

I don't know how much I have personally experienced all kinds of assassinations and destructive weapons. ”

Thanos stood up, looked out the window with his hands behind his back, reflected on the past, and sighed.

"From one to a thousand, why no world can understand my help."

He remembered Titan, his hometown.

It was once a beautiful and fertile planet, the polar opposite of this dark quadrant full of black, gray earth and stone.

When the population was full and the resources were exhausted, he offered to kill half of the population to solve the problem, and was personally ordered by his father, the ruler of Titan, Arals, to banish him into exile.

He was pointed out by thousands of people and denounced as a stupid madman.

"Since I was a child, because of my weird appearance, I didn't fit in with the rest of the people on Titan, and I only had a few friends."

Thanos rarely tells anyone about his origins, that he is a genetic mutant Eternal.

"Exiled, I lost my relatives, friends, and people, and sailed alone in the universe."

At that time, he was not the feared Mad Titan of the universe, but a nobody in the universe.

He joined a team of space pirates and landed a position as a technician on a pirate ship called Holx, where he used his innate intelligence and extensive knowledge on Titan to repair ships, weapons, and everything else related to technology.

"Following that cosmic pirate, I traveled to never-before-seen galaxies and encountered unimaginable creatures.

Everyone on that ship was a ruthless executioner, except me.

I, who was exiled for proposing to kill, will never do anything to anyone again, and vow not to take anyone's life again.

Even if I was called a coward by the people on the ship, I was told to faint at the sight of blood, and I was ridiculed unscrupulously. ”

The overlord of the universe slowly recounted the experience that no one knew, and his words revealed a self-deprecation.

"Gradually, I got bored.

The daily noise and revelry on the pirate ship reminded me of my hometown, the only place where my heart could be calmed down in the middle of the night. ”

He then left the team of pirates who had gained fame in the universe and returned to Titan.

He was once exiled by the rebels, and it was a felony to return to Taita without permission, but he went back anyway.

He wanted to go back and see his relatives, friends and people.

"But when I go back...... That beautiful planet no longer exists.

All of them died, from the depletion of resources, leaving only a wasteland. ”

"I understood then, I was right!"

Thanos, with a slightly sad expression, suddenly raised his powerful arms, clenched his fist that could crush the hardest metal in the universe, his eyes were sharp, burning with crazy faith.

"Lord Sanos, your face ......"

And Ebony Throat saw Thanos's side face under his movements, his eyes widened in shock, and his voice suddenly rose high, as if he had seen something unimaginable.

"If I had persevered, my hometown might have been saved."

As if he hadn't heard his exclamation, Thanos continued to speak passionately.

"My weakness and doubt ruined it all.

Since then I have embarked on the path of redemption, the path of salvation and the salvation of this universe, and I can sacrifice everything in order to achieve this! ”

At this point, he sat back on the throne, controlled the throne and slowly turned around, exuding a majestic majesty, and whispered comfort.

"Don't be afraid, Ebony Throat.

I'm fine now, better than ever. ”

I saw Thanos, who was sitting on the throne and wearing golden armor, with an old face, a white beard on his purple chin full of furrows, as if he had entered old age.

However, his body was still so majestic, and he didn't see the slightest bit of weakness and weakness, and the majesty on his body was even more terrifying, as heavy as a mountain, making people breathless.

"But...... Lord Sanos, you seem to be many years old. ”

Ebony throat stumbled.

"I've been studying my body as I travel through the universe.

My people say that only a deformed body like mine can give birth to such a deformed and crazy mind. ”

Thanos raised his palm, and a mass of purple cosmic secret energy that was extremely condensed and emitted a terrifying aura emerged, fluctuating and changing with his mind.

"The First Evolution"

Ebony Throat's expression was stunned, Thanos was famous for the universe as his indestructible body, and he had never been heard of being able to manipulate energy.

"I found my body to be unique and almost resistant to the erosion of time.

After hundreds of years had passed, and I had grown into the prime of life, the passage of my life became imperceptible. ”

"And I found out that I'm actually like the Aesir Protoss, the older I get, the stronger I get!"

He pulled out a dried wine glass, which contained a slight remnant of gray grass juice and an ominous smell.

"I have a longer lifespan than the Aesir Protoss, and I may live for hundreds of thousands of years.

But like I said, I can sacrifice everything to save the universe. ”

"Ebony Throat, do you recognize this thing?"

Playing with the glass, Thanos asked.

"Sigh of Time......

Ebony recognized the contents of the cup, a poison made from an herb from a technologically backward ancient planet they had slaughtered, which could make people age rapidly to the end of their lives.

A single drop can age a race that lives for hundreds of years to death.

"Someone tried to assassinate you with this in food.

Like countless previous assassinations against you, the assassination failed......"

In the past, the assassination failed, and now Thanos took the initiative to take this cup of poison, just in exchange for power, in exchange for defeating the extra abnormal power on Earth.

He slowly stood up.

"Ebony Throat, go wake up my troops.

Let's go! ”
