Astra sat down on the ground with a bitter expression.

"The most difficult choice requires 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. If he had known that he wouldn't have said that, now, the king of b48 is dead, and the person who needs to make a choice becomes him.

Although Astra wanted to tell himself that the person on this planet had nothing to do with him, the old man's plea before his death always echoed in his mind and affected his heart.

There seemed to be a voice in his mind that kept saying to him not to say, not to say……

"Can you tell me what gem you want to do with?" After taking a look at Beckett, who had already cleared all the soldiers from outside, walked into the King's Hall, [Astra] smiled casually and looked up at Thanos.

"Is this important to you?" Thanos, who inserted the giant blade into the surface of the Crystal King Palace once again, looked at Beckett who had returned to him, raised a smile on his lips and asked back.

"Ah, that's right. I'm just curious about what gem you want to do with, even if you sacrifice your entire planet's life." [Astra] lowered his eyelids, and a ray of yellow light flashed through his eyes.

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

As if he noticed the strangeness of [Astra], Thanos turned around, carried his hands behind his back, and looked down at [Astra] who was slumped on the surface of the King's Palace with his head lowered.

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

"Maintain the balance between the universe."

“This universe has already embarked on a wrong path and it needs to be corrected.”

"This sounds very interesting." Although it was the sound of [Astra], it made him feel particularly wrong in Beckett's ears. This way of speaking is not like the style that [Astra] usually expresses.

"It is not interesting to maintain the balance between the universe." Thanos's voice was a little heavy, and he looked up at the endless starry sky. Close his eyes, and the scenes of hard work over the years flashed through his mind one by one.

"What did you think of yourself as? The creator of this universe?" [Astra]'s voice was a little curious.

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

"uh-huh?"

Ebony's throat, who hurriedly stepped into the Broken King's Palace, saw the disrespectful expression of [Astra] speaking to Thanos. He was about to accuse him, but Beckett, who appeared beside him, reached out to cover his mouth. The other, holding the blue scepter, saw this, stood wisely behind Beckett and closed his lips.

"My hometown Titan, it was once as beautiful and developed as many planets..." With his eyes closed, Thanos stepped onto the Crystal Throne step by step. Every step, the picture of the hometown Titan flashed in front of his eyes.

"But it also faces a very serious problem like many planets. It has to eat a lot, but it is far from enough to eat. When we are facing the danger of extermination, I proposed a solution." The tall and majestic body slowly sat on the throne, and the history of Titans was told in his mouth.

"Randomly eliminate half of life, allowing the population and resources to regain a balance? It's a novel view, Thanos."

"This may be cruel, but this is the only way." Thanos, who was on the Crystal Throne, opened his eyes, his eyes full of determination. He always thought so and was working hard in this direction.

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

"The universe is limited, and resources are limited. If life is not controlled, it will die."

"This is a very simple truth, but unfortunately, only I know this truth. At least, in this universe, I am the only one who is willing to take action on it." Thanos raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist.

The next second, [Astra] had a huge light in his pupils and his body gradually floated in the air!

"Interesting thoughts, although I don't agree with them." With a smile, [Astra]'s body suddenly appeared in front of Beckett's eyes, and reached out to hold Beckett's right fist that was waving like a conditioned reflex.

"What about you? What is your purpose in the war?"

The problem of [Astra] made Beckett frown. He wanted to break free from the constraints of [Astra], but found that he could not get out of it at all.'

"His Highness Beckett!"

The shocked the other instantly held up his scepter and rushed towards [Astra], and the next second he hit an invisible wall and fell to the ground to cover his head.

"Who are you?"

Beckett had a cold face, his voice with an uncontrollable anger. The noisy waves circled up from under his feet, directly overturning the other who was still lying on the ground and howled.

"Look into my eyes and tell me, Beckett."

With four eyes facing each other, Beckett only felt a flash in front of him, and the next second he was already in the scene of the big explosion of the planet!

The baby's loud howling, the ugly killer's grin, the mother's voice and appearance, the agreement with her adoptive father Thanos under the starry sky at the dark base......

The noisy sounds were repeated, stimulating Beckett's nerves one after another.

"Get out of my...body...get out!!!"

"Get out!!!!!!"

With his hands clenched his fists, the blue veins burst out. He roared to the sky, and the roaring waves burst out from Beckett's feet!

Anger surged, and the light directly shattered the land under Beckett's feet. The momentum of power did not diminish and directly hit the energy radiating tower that was still rotating near the star core!

"You two father and son are really interesting."

The body was already ruined by Beckett's punch, [Astra] chuckled, and the earth suddenly began to tremble. The energy radiator, which had just been hit by Beckett's energy wave, tore the earth apart at an extremely fast speed and appeared in front of Thanos and Beckett.

A yellow gem took the initiative to break away from the energy radiating tower and appeared in front of Beckett. [Astra]'s body floating in mid-air fell to the ground, and the green helmet broke into two halves because it could not withstand the impact of energy.

"Tsk, is this, Infinity Stone..."

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

"Your body cannot bear the side effects of gems, Beckett." Thanos's majestic voice sounded, and his arms attached to the golden armor replaced Beckett's grasp of the spiritual gem floating in the air. In just a moment, an extremely dazzling light wandered on Thanos's body with the surging energy.

Beckett saw with his own eyes that in his memory, Thanos, who had never been injured before, just because he held the Infinity Stone in his right hand, some magnificent wounds appeared on his chest, which made Thanos' expression suddenly change.

“Hey?!”

The other felt an irresistible force snatched away the blue scepter from his hand. He looked up and saw that the scepter appeared beside Thanos under the control of ebony throat.

"Master Thanos."

Bang!

With a crisp sound, the sacred object worshipped by the Qitari clan for generations - the King's Scepter was inlaid with a soul gem at the top, and the color and style changed instantly...
