A certain man from the motherland

Chapter 136 Chapter 134 Old Thanos and the Past

Marvel main universe.

Viewed from a distance, the Dark Quadrant seems to be no different from countless ordinary small satellites in the universe.

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

The Dark Quadrant is the territory of the Mad Titan Thanos, and fortresses of the Dark Order stand everywhere on the planet.

The Dark Order is an invincible army composed of cosmic mercenaries, pirates, rebels and slave owners. Under the leadership of Thanos, they have slaughtered countless planets and frightened countless people.

The great tyrant Thanos rules this army that does all evil with ruthless means, and manages them to be obedient, and everything obeys his orders and obeys 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 belongs to the ruler of this planet has not been opened for a long time.

Dong Dong.

There was a sound of footsteps, and Ebony Maw, Thanos' most loyal servant, with a calm temperament in his movements, like a mage from an ancient palace, slowly came to the door that had been closed for a long time.

"Lord Thanos, it has been a long time since you appeared in front of your army.

They are all a little worried about you."

"how?

Do you think I will be defeated by a small loss?"

A deep and powerful voice came from deep inside the room, penetrating the steel door.

The voice still seems to be full of energy, but it seems to sound slightly different from before.

Ebony Throat was a little confused, lowered his head and answered.

"Of course not. We all know that letting the Chitauri attack the Earth is just a small test on your part."

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

"Lord Thanos... Ronan is dead.

Do you know?"

"Ronan, that childish boy?

I cooperated with him, handed over my two daughters to him, and helped him expand his rights through conquests in the north and south.

He searched for the whereabouts of gems in the universe for me."

Thanos said contemptuously and angrily.

"But he failed to live up to my expectations and died in the hands of the Inhumans."

The attack on Earth was a failure, and Ronan's sudden death at the hands of the Inhumans ruined his investment.

Ronan is a member of the supreme controller of the Kree Empire, one of the most powerful empires in the universe. He can mobilize huge resources and intelligence.

He looked down upon Ronan's knowledge and strength, but he had to admit that Ronan might be able to find the gem faster than him.

"but……"

In the room, the voices calmed down.

"That's not important anymore.

I decided to go find the gems myself.”

"grown ups?

Has the time come?"

Ebony Throat said in shock.

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

In fact, all the top leaders of the Dark Order knew about this plan.

What a crazy and grand plan, the person who completes it is destined to be remembered forever in the history of the universe.

But Thanos remembered telling them that no one should know that he was collecting infinity stones before the plan was implemented.

Because once the plan is launched, it must move very quickly. It is impossible to collect the infinite gems in a very short time. If it is caught off guard, it will be extremely troublesome for the guardians of some of the gems to be prepared.

"..."

There was silence in the room. In fact, according to Thanos's plan, this should not be the case. He should hide himself, but he has no other choice.

Now that Ronan is dead, how will he find a new collaborator?

It is not easy to find a leader of the Universe Empire who is as simple-minded and arrogant as Ronan, who is easy to deal with because of his impulses.

If the plan is exposed... it can only be like this, and the news of the failure of the First World War on Earth made him a little anxious. He took some measures, and he had no time to delay any longer.

Click...

The door to the room suddenly opened.

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

The Dark Quadrant is really not a planet with beautiful scenery. There is only the dead land in the distance. He seems to be looking at a land of death.

"Lord Thanos?..."

The atmosphere was low and depressing, and there seemed to be a terrifying monster hidden deep in the room that could destroy the universe. Ebony Throat slowly approached, faced the figure on the throne, swallowed, and gave a tentative cry.

He had never felt such a terrifying atmosphere.

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

Thanos on the throne asked slowly without looking back.

"I can't remember clearly, sir."

He lowered his head and replied, struggling to recall, with an uncertain tone.

"We have conquered and saved too many planets.

There are probably more than a thousand."

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

But no world can understand my greatness and compassion."

A deep and deep voice sounded in the room, with a touch of sadness.

After getting closer, Ebony Throat's expression changed slightly, and he finally heard something was wrong.

Lord Thanos's voice sounds...a little old? Is it an illusion?

"Every world is trying its best to prevent me from saving them.

I have personally experienced countless assassinations and destructive weapons."

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

"From one to a thousand, there is no world that can understand my help."

He thought of Titan, his home planet.

It was once an extremely beautiful and fertile planet, completely opposite to this dark quadrant filled with black, gray earth and rocks.

When the population was overpopulated and resources were exhausted, he proposed to kill half of the population to solve the problem, but his father, Arals, the ruler of Titan, personally ordered him to be expelled and exiled.

He was criticized by thousands of people and denounced as a freak and a lunatic.

"Because of my weird appearance since childhood, I have been incompatible with other people on Titan and have only a few friends."

Thanos rarely tells others about his origins. He is an Eternal with a congenital genetic mutation.

"I was exiled, lost my relatives, lost my friends, lost my tribe, and was sailing alone in the universe."

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

He joined a group of space pirates and took a position as a technician on a pirate ship called Horx.

With his innate wisdom and extensive knowledge learned on Titan, he is responsible for repairing spacecraft, weapons and other technology-related things.

"Following that band of space pirates, I went to galaxies I had never seen before and encountered unimaginable creatures.

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

I, who was exiled for proposing killings, will never attack anyone again and swear not to take anyone's life again.

Even though I was called a coward by the people on the ship, a little purple flower who would faint at the sight of blood, I was ridiculed unscrupulously."

The Overlord of the Universe slowly recounted that experience that no one knew about, and his words revealed a hint of self-mockery.

"As time went by, I gradually became bored.

The daily noise and carnival on the pirate ship always reminds me of my hometown in the middle of the night, the only place that can calm my heart."

Not long after, he left the pirate team that was gradually becoming famous in the universe and returned to Titan.

He had been sentenced to exile, and it was a felony to return to Titan without authorization, but he couldn't help but long to go back.

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

"But when I went back...that beautiful planet was no longer there.

Everyone died, from exhaustion of resources, leaving nothing but desolation."

"I understood then, I was right!"

Thanos, with a slightly sad and angry expression, suddenly raised his powerful arms and clenched fists that could crush the hardest metal in the universe. His eyes were sharp, burning with crazy belief.

"Lord Thanos, your face..."

As he moved, Ebony Throat saw Thanos' side face, his eyes widened in shock, and his voice suddenly rose, as if he had seen something unimaginable.

"If I had persisted, my people and hometown might have been saved."

Thanos seemed not to hear his exclamation and continued to speak excitedly, full of regret.

"My weakness and doubt ruined it all.

From then on, I embarked on the road of redemption, which is also the road of saving this universe. In order to achieve all this, I can sacrifice everything!"

After saying these decisive words, he sat back on the throne, controlled the throne to turn around slowly, and then comforted softly.

"Don't worry, Ebony Throat.

I'm fine now, better than ever before, and every inch of my body is filled with strength."

I saw Thanos sitting on the throne wearing golden armor, with an old face, and a furrowed purple chin covered with white beard, as if he had entered old age and was about to die soon.

However, his body is still so majestic, without any signs of rickets or weakness, and the aura on his body is more terrifying than before, several times stronger, as heavy as a mountain, making people breathless.

"But... Lord Thanos seems to have aged many years."

I don't know why their leader became like this, but the ebony voice could not suppress the fear.

"While traveling through the universe, I have been studying my own body.

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

Thanos raised his palm, and a ball of purple cosmic secret energy that was extremely condensed and exuded a terrifying aura emerged, fluctuating and changing according to his thoughts.

Ebony Throat opened his mouth slightly in surprise. Their leader Thanos is famous in the universe for his indestructible body. It has never been heard that he can control energy.

“I discovered that my body structure is unique and almost resistant to the erosion of time.

As hundreds of years passed and I reached adulthood, the passage of my life became imperceptible."

"And I discovered that I am actually just like the Asa clan, the older I get, the stronger I become!"

He took out a wine glass that had been drained. There was some gray plant juice left in it, giving off an ominous smell.

"My lifespan is longer than that of the Aesir, maybe hundreds of thousands of years.

But like I said, I would sacrifice anything to save the universe."

"Ebony Throat, do you recognize this thing?"

Thanos asked, playing with the wine glass.

"The Lament of Time..."

Ebony Throat recognized what was in the cup. On an ancient planet with backward technology that they had massacred, there was a poison made from rare herbs that could make people age rapidly and reach the end of their lives.

One drop can make a race with a life span of hundreds of years age until death, and the life span is so short that there is only time to sigh.

"Someone once tried to assassinate you by putting this in food.

Just like countless previous assassinations against you, the assassination failed..."

Thanos, who had escaped deliberate assassinations in the past and survived to this day to comfort him, now took the initiative to drink a full cup of this terrible poison.

He took the initiative to let his life come to an end just to exchange for strength and the power to defeat the extra anomaly on the earth.

"Gather my troops, Ebonmaw.

Set off!"

Slowly stood up, Thanos showed an unspeakable greatness, exposed his white teeth, and ordered in a majestic and ferocious voice.

"Come with me to find the Power Stone among the six Infinity Stones and complete that plan.

I will use it to crush and destroy everything that stands in the way of collecting the six Infinity Stones!"

"Yes, Lord Thanos!" Ebony Throat suppressed his excitement and lowered his head in response.
