Chapter 1351 The Mystery of the Feast (8)
"The Titans have long been in the past, and the glory of the Eternals may still be seen in some relics on Earth."
When Thanos's deep voice echoed in the palace, the edge of the echo was trembling with metallic texture, adding a bit of epic feeling.
"Returning to reincarnation is the fate of all powerful races in the universe. They must pay the price for their own strength. Human beings are weak, but fortunately, you have not been given undeniable power by anyone, so naturally there is no inescapable fate .”
Then, he changed the subject and said, "No matter what, I have removed a big obstacle for human beings to enter the universe."
Thanos's tone seemed brisk, as if he was joking, but if he thought about his deeds of destroying the Titans with his own hands, it seemed very crazy.
In this world, there are not only human beings who are naturally mentally ill, but also among Titans. Thanos is obviously the most famous lunatic Titan in the universe. Feel the joy.
Schiller remembers the description of Thanos' childhood in the comics. From the perspective of the comics, Thanos was tempted by the goddess of death since he was a child, and gradually grew from a withdrawn boy who couldn't even dissect animals to a terrifying The genocidal lunatic.
But if you look at it from the perspective of a psychiatrist, the woman who suddenly appeared in Thanos' sight and led him to commit various brutal acts is more like a common fantasy partner of mentally ill patients.
Among the cases of psychiatry, there are many examples of being induced by fantasy partners to commit violent behaviors. It can be said that almost all the fantasy partners of mental patients are the incarnations of pain, confusion, and confusion in their minds. Such negative imaginations are natural. They also don't urge people to do good deeds.
Some details in the comics prove this point even more. For example, Thanos was born with purple skin. Unlike other Titans, his mother could not accept it because she gave birth to a monster, became crazy, and was finally imprisoned.
Because his appearance is different from other members of the Titan family, Thanos has been discriminated against and bullied since he was a child, and his father is too busy to care about him at all. Even if Thanos happily wants to tell him that he has made new friends, he gets nothing but Just the minimum level of perfunctory.
His mother's sudden madness may not be an accident, but a genetic mental illness. Thanos did not receive timely treatment, and was ostracized. He was in a stimulated mental state all year round, and his fantasy partner became the only consolation.
As for whether this fantasy partner has anything to do with death, Schiller feels that the probability of it being related is not very high. The death of their universe is particularly cowardly, and it seems that they have not been very interested in Thanos from the beginning to the end.
Maybe there is more than one incarnation of death, maybe the death that lured Thanos is not the same as the death that Schiller saw in the kingdom of death, but there is no doubt that Thanos has been crazy for a long time, so completely crazy that there is basically no saved.
But Schiller still followed that principle. As long as the patient is not in pain, there is no need to treat it. As for the harm caused by madness, there are naturally other ways to deal with it.
So, Schiller planned to change the subject. He remembered what Thanos had asked him before, so he lightly rubbed his fingertips against the edge of the table knife, and asked after deliberation: "You asked me before if humans started to pay attention to Uranus, Since the Titans have long been destroyed, why do you care which planet humans pay attention to?"
"It's not that I care, but a human came to me yesterday and asked about Uranus and Saturn. I thought it was some relic left on them, which interfered with our planetary development."
Schiller frowned slightly, looked up into Thanos' eyes and spit out a name: "Tony Stark?"
"He calls himself Iron Man." Thanos said while eating the food on the plate: "It's a very strange human being. In my opinion, half of him is intense light, and half is boundless darkness."
"I know he's not easy to mess with, so I can only tell the history of the Eternals and Titans, but he doesn't seem to care much about whether there are any remains of the Titans left in the universe."
"Looks like a scientist. I thought he would want to study the technology in those ruins, but he is more interested in some mysterious historical legends."
"for example?"
"For example, the origin of the Eternal Race." Thanos also paused, and he said: "Unfortunately, I am not a historian. I was born on Titan. I am afraid that there is no history of the Eternal Race on Earth." The Supreme Master knows a lot."
"Is that what you answered him?"
Thanos nodded, took a bite of the food on the plate and said, "Oh, by the way, he's also interested in one thing..."
Thanos deliberately made a long sound, and Schiller understood what he meant, so he took a sip of the wine, smiled and said: "Your Majesty Thanos, when you are good at dancing and strategizing in the interstellar society, Your pope is not lazy, and I have some immature suggestions for our future direction."
"You can speak freely."
"As we all know, you are now a celebrity in the field of interstellar security. This responsibility is not important, but it is very expensive. The price is that you have to spend a lot of time maintaining your reputation. Once your signboard as an interstellar security defender is smashed, then There's nothing left."
Thanos nodded and approved of Schiller's words. Before he could ask, Schiller took the initiative to say: "That's why, if you suddenly become a tyrant who fights everywhere, then the good image you have established before and the The connections that are made are completely destroyed.”
"After all, a hero who swears to protect interstellar security suddenly manipulates his own civilization to launch a war of aggression against other civilizations, which will definitely attract criticism from most civilizations."
"Predatory growth and public opinion image can't have both." Thanos said calmly: "But my purpose of maintaining public opinion image is to make myself stronger. If plundering can achieve this goal faster, then I Naturally, public opinion can be abandoned.”
"Why can't we have both?"
Thanos froze for a moment, then shook his head and said: "This kind of thinking is too naive. As you said, when Interstellar was still an orderly society, aggression was evil. Even if it was for the stability of the three empires, Nor will new civilizations be allowed to mess around."
Thanos continued to lower his head to cut the meat, and said slowly: "Although the Dark Quadrant is not at the center of the interstellar society, it is also good. If I start a war, the core centers of the three empires will not respond quickly. Time can be exchanged I don't lose space."
"I'm afraid it's not that simple, is it? You plan to go to war directly after you get the territory and resources?"
"Of course not. Although the strategy of blitzkrieg has been tried countless times in the interstellar society, the leaders of many civilizations ignored a big problem when implementing this tactic, which led to their final failure."
"Oh, what's that?"
"The key to blitzkrieg is to gain an overwhelming advantage in a short period of time. The misunderstanding of many generals is that they think that they must be strong enough to defeat their opponents in a short period of time, but I don't think so."
Thanos shook his head and said: "I prefer to think that the opponent is weak or in chaos. This kind of tactics can achieve the best results. The strong defeat the strong. No matter how good the arrangement is, there are risks. The strong can defeat the weak, even if it will There is plenty of room for error in case of an accident.”
"I'm not so arrogant that I think that every strategy of mine can be executed perfectly, and there will be no accidents. In this case, instead of making myself stronger, it is better to find a way to make the other party weaker, or as you said, It takes both, both ways.”
Schiller picked up the wine glass and covered his expression, but Thanos wanted to know what Schiller's suggestion was, but he also knew how greedy Schiller was. If he didn't play a hole card first, Schiller will not speak.
So Thanos paused, and said as if talking to himself:
"The location of the Dark Quadrant is indeed good. The biggest advantage is that... it is close to the fringe star area of the Shi'ar Empire."
"I'm afraid searching for the queen's soul within the Nine Kingdoms will not yield any results." A voice came from the edge of the dance floor.
Thanos walked over with a wine glass and said, "Have you forgotten that the Shia Empire also has a god line inheritance? When the emperor or queen of the Shia Empire succeeds, they need to swear an oath of faith to the Shia Gods."
In the banquet hall, Haila, whose hands were wrapped in the breath of death, was silent, but turned slightly to look at Thanos who was coming.
"Your Highness Hella, even if your power comes from death, you still bear the mark of Asgard. If you infect the souls of believers of other gods, it will inevitably cause misunderstandings by the Shi'ar gods, won't you?"
"Is now the time to worry about this kind of thing?!" The high-pitched tone sounded, and everyone looked at the husband who was lying next to the queen's body. He said with a sad look: "We have to find the queen who killed the queen as soon as possible. avenge her!... Her Highness Hela, please hurry up, what if the queen's soul is in any danger?"
"No, Your Highness Hela, you can't do it." Another younger voice sounded, and everyone's eyes turned to one side, and then they found that the one who spoke was a young guard standing behind the Queen's wife of the Shia Empire.
He cleared his throat and said, "The twin gods of Xi and Ah are a couple. They have equal power and share power with each other. Therefore, loyalty is especially important, and the same is true for faith. If the queen's soul is polluted by the power of other gods, I'm afraid she Will be abandoned by the Shia gods."
Schiller saw that the muscles at the corners of the Wang Fu's mouth with his head bowed were tense, as if he wanted to continue to wail, but Thanos said again: "I think, as the monarch of the Shia Empire, the queen must want to give her people Set a good example, maintain a pious belief, and ensure the purity of your soul even if you die, this is what a king should do."
"A pious believer, whether alive or dead, will never accept being abandoned by the gods he believes in." Thanos stepped forward and looked down at Mrs. Wang, and said, "As her husband, you must be able to follow through on yourself." Wife's will?"
"but……"
"Or, in fact, your husband and wife have different beliefs. You don't believe in the gods of the Shia Empire as devoutly as the queen, so naturally you don't care whether your wife's soul is polluted?"
Everyone present was silent. Once it comes to the issue of belief, no one can be so sure. If someone proposes now, regardless of whether the Queen's soul will be polluted by Asgard's divine power, she must be retrieved, and then Bring her back to life.
Then if Queen Shia really angered her god after her resurrection, and she blamed other people for her impurity, wouldn't the person who proposed this countermeasure have to face the anger of the head of one of the three empires?
Everyone neither wants to bear this kind of anger for themselves, nor knows that they have no position to force others to take this risk.
As a result, the atmosphere in the field fell silent again, but at this time, Schiller turned his attention to the young guard who had spoken before.
