Chapter 225: Death

Thanos had a happy childhood, but everything changed later on!

When a sudden disaster hit Titan, the technology that the Eternals were so proud of was useless.

They did not even know what had happened.

All they knew was that there was a sudden cosmic storm in space that hit Titan, and strangely, no one died.

The cosmic storm only destroyed all the technological creations on Titan.

But for a civilization that was very technologically advanced and heavily dependent on technology, this was even worse than death.

Even though the high-ranking Eternals quickly put things back in order on Titan, new problems appeared.

The cosmic storm also changed Titan's axis, which messed up the entire planet's gravity and magnetic fields.

As a result, Titan's natural environment changed and became unsuitable for plant life.

So, it was easy to guess what would happen when technology failed, the environment was cruel, and there was already a large population.

A great hunger.

With a large population and limited food supplies, war broke out quickly.

The result was that nearly everyone on Titan died.

Except for Thanos, only a few survived.

At that time, Thanos came up with a plan to stop the hunger by killing half the people, giving the other half time to save themselves.

Naturally, he was imprisoned by the Council.

When he found out something was wrong and tried to get out of his cell, it was too late.

That's why Thanos wanted to eliminate half the population.

After thinking all this, Jack released his grip and looked at Thanos with pity.

This fool completely used the wrong methods.

"You know, Thanos, your ideals are not bad, but you've used the wrong methods!"

Jack shrugged, helpless, and said,

"Forget it. We have always been enemies, and I do not want to explain why. Let's leave the discussion on these matters to when you're in the Realm of Death with your former lover."

Saying that, Jack reached out his hand again and pointed at Thanos' forehead. Thanos could clearly feel that once he was touched, he would definitely die.

He tried to run away and fight back, but his body was totally frozen as if it did not belong to him anymore.

Ding!

Finally, Jack's finger touched Thanos' purple forehead without any surprise.

In an instant, Thanos' eyes lost their shine, his face lost its expression, and his purple skin slowly lost its color.

When Jack took his finger away, Thanos's huge body broke up into dust and disappeared into the vastness of space.

Throughout the whole process, Thanos' last remaining general, Supergiant, did not make a single move.

Jack, however, wasn't surprised at all.

He looked at Supergiant with curiosity and carefully watched him. Even though he looked like he did not care, he felt a bit of caution.

"I once wondered if you truly existed in this universe, and now it seems that you truly are everywhere."

"You just watched him being killed by me without saying anything? I thought you would stop me, Lady Death!"

"Hehehe!"

The "Supergiant," who had been totally staring the whole time, laughed out loud, just like Jack had seen her do.

She looked at Jack intently as if trying to see through him completely.

In the end, Jack is lost in their gaze. Even with his thick skin, he could not help but feel uncomfortable, so he took a step back and looked at her cautiously.

"Let me make it clear, I have a wife... well, wives, so it's better for you not to look at me like that."

As soon as the words fell, the time throughout the entire universe suddenly froze.

Seeing this, Jack sighed helplessly, saying,

"Do you people all like pulling this kind of trick? It is very flashy..."

This time, the figure of Supergiant slowly blurred, and then a figure shrouded in a black robe took her place.

This person was Death, one of the five Cosmic Entities in the Marvel Universe.

Honestly, it was surprising for her to appear, even though in the comic universe, she had some unclear relationship with Thanos, but this is the MCU, so they shouldn't have any connection, right?

Also, when she pretended to be Supergiant and watched him kill Thanos without any reaction, Jack could not figure out what she was up to.

He didn't know if she was an enemy or a friend.

His calmness right now was all a facade.

"I'm sorry, but I have to do this."

Unexpectedly, Death apologized to him.

This made Jack surprised but also relieved. At least she wasn't here to cause trouble.

"I can't exist in this universe, so I have to do this," came a crisp and pleasant voice from under Death's black robe.

Jack tried very hard to see through her robe, but he couldn't.

"Oh, welcome to this universe. May I ask why you're here?" Jack asked.

"Just wanted to see you!"

Death's answer caught Jack off guard.

He couldn't help but secretly think, did his handsome looks even attract Death's attention?

"You're quite special, child!"

Death suddenly appeared in front of him, and a skeletal hand extended from under her black robe, slowly reaching towards Jack's face.

Jack thought about dodging, but something in him told him there was no way out, so he didn't.

If she wanted to touch him, she could. After all, he wouldn't lose anything.

Suddenly, Death's movement stopped, and she seemed to slowly pull back her hand, leaving a response behind.

"We will meet again, child."

After saying that, she disappeared, and time in the universe resumed its flow.

Jack had no idea why she had come in the first place.

Just to say those words? Are the big shots really that boring?

With no answer to his thought, Jack shifted his attention to the present. Thanos was dead, and he needed to get hold of the Mind Stone.

He turned his gaze towards Thanos' ship not far away, and with a thought, he instantly teleported inside the ship.

"Hmm?"

As soon as Jack stepped out, he saw two familiar faces—it was none other than Thanos' adopted daughters, Nebula and Gamora.

At this moment, the two sisters were of similar age to Wanda, but their eyes and behavior were filled with murderous intent.

Seeing them, Jack's eyes lit up because the Mind Stone's scepter was in Gamora's hands.

He raised his hand, and the scepter instantly appeared in his hand, before the two could even react to what had happened.

Jack had snatched the scepter away from them.

He put the scepter away without much thought and looked at the two confused pair.

He didn't pay much attention to Gamora; her appearance didn't fit his aesthetic taste.

On the other hand, Nebula was quite beautiful, but unfortunately, she was a half-human, half-cyborg creation of Thanos.

"Who... who are you?"

Nebula instinctively grabbed her sister's arm and stepped back.

They had seen everything that happened just now, a human who had killed Thanos.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not a bad person," Jack reassured them.

Glancing at Gamora, Jack suddenly pointed his hand at Nebula, and red energy enveloped her.

The light quickly dissipated, and when Gamora looked again, she realized that her sister had completely transformed.

This beautiful girl was her sister Nebula.

No way!

And... why did her skin color change?

She wanted to ask Jack about it, but when she turned around, she found that he had already disappeared without a trace.
