Thanos the Titan sat in his floating seat, aboard his golden magnum sized space vessel called the Sanctuary II which was set on a course for Ego: the living planet.

The titan ruminated over knowledge as he looked over the results of his handiwork on the countles worlds he had burnt to crisps. Over the multiple galactic sectors he had razed to nothing but stardust and meteors.

He knew that life would once again start anew on those sectors, and the new life would be better, for he had utterly incinerated the filth that resided within. The parasites that dwelled in them were no more. He saw through the unbiased gaze of death, he acted without any prejudice or inclination towards any one side. All he did, he did unmistakably equal, for the good of the universe and all who dwelled within.

Was it true? Is his purpose truly as he thinks it is?

When an organism becomes sick, it's immune system deploys various antibodies to fight against whatever disease it was suffering from.

The universe, in and of itself was alive. It was living and feeling, and it even had an embodiment that resided with the other embodiments in the Overspace.

Thanos, was his universe's answer to the diseases that plagued it. He was the impartial balancer. Death herself could attest to that.

So let me ask you a question ; Is the Titan evil? Do you think his purpose truly essential? Your answer towards those questions will determine what the Titan represents to you. For it matters not to him. He will act impartially, not deities, not the embodiments of concepts, not hell lords, not magical gods not even world eaters, are safe from his impartial grasp, if they break the balance.

When an antibody acts, it acts to fully eradicate whatever virus infects the body.

Ever since, He mastered certain aspects of his lover's domain. He found himself acquiring more esoteric knowledge, hidden wisdom that stewed in the Infinity well. His Astral projection drifted in the waters of wisdom. He steadily walked the endless halls of knowledge, learning of the secrets they held. It was the humbling honey to his soul. At heart, the Titan was still the scientist and scholar, the inventor of wonders and maker of the profound. He never lost his curiosity of the wonders that governed all creation. It was humbling, he understood that they were things out there he knew nothing of, and it motivated him, it drove him.

He found enjoyment in his search for knowledge and his practice of it. Knowing that he would never know all, filled him with a sort of joy, for then his search would never end. He would always find something new and exotic.

"Hmmm" The titan roused himself from his slumber like state, drawing his Astral projection that visited death's domain back into his body.

""Father!"" Two girls bent a single knee, as they called out to the Titan upon entering his chambers. One had no hair on her head, her skin tone a calm blue with metallic plantings running down the length of her arms organo-Metallic modifications done to her, her name is Nebula.

The other had a bright emerald skin tone. She was the last of her race, she had watched the Titan personally slaughter all her people. It was a sight she would never forget. A headful of short auburn hair, blue blood dripped down her armor, it wasn't hers, her name is Nebula.

"Rise my daughters. Show me what you've gained" the Titan spoke.

The young girls rose to their feet. Thanos had trained them from when they were just clueless children to now that they have reached the cusp of maturity.

Nebula eagerly rose to her feet. She wanted to present her prize to her father. She sincerely loved him, he rescued her from the hell she had grown up in, he personally taught her all she knew, he was grooming her and her sister to become the most deadly women in the galaxy. She couldn't have asked for a better father, he was everything to her. And she wanted to never fail him.

She reached into the sack that dripped with blood and pulled out the still warm head of her enemy, her trophy. Thanos had given them a test, sent them both off to different worlds to obtain a life. She had succeeded.

"Father, it is done, and done well," she said.

The Titan nodded at her. It showed that he was pleased, "You have done well indeed my child" she was shocked at those words, so shocked in fact that she nearly dropped her trophy. This was the first time the Titan had been vocal in his praise for her. She was beyond thrilled.

"I will never disappoint you father" She swore on her soul, pushing back tears of joy that threatened to spill out her eyes—She was too happy. She excused herself, leaving her sister in the Titan's presence.

Gamora sighed and stood to her feet. Retrieving her own trophy. The dismembered head was held in her hands dripping with blue blood.

"Father, this is my prize" She shifted nervously as she met Thanos' piercing gaze, the gaze that saw through everything she tried to hide. 'Shit, he knows' she screamed in her head. But still held on to a calm, confident exterior.

Thanos rose his index finger.

"One soul, Gamora. That was all. But you let compassion get in the way" The Titan rose from his seat. The flooring rumbled as he stepped on it. His towering, imposingly regal figure displayed in its full splendor. Gamora knew, that she should've done her assignment well. She had to take the life of her target, a female with children and a family. Or an innocent youth. Yet she couldn't, she just couldn't kill in such cold blood. Well, not yet. So she obtained the head of a common thug that was already on the verge of death.

"All actions have consequences. You cannot be partial, it will lead to disaster. Now come, you will find out what your actions have done"

She quietly followed behind her father, he led her to one of the viewing ports. From here she could see the beautiful pink planet. With lush blue forestry and green oceans. It was truly a sight to behold.

"Fire" The Titan spoke. His ship responded in turn. Gamora's eyes widened as she watched the silver streak head for the planet. She tried turning away from the hellish sight that was soon to occur, a hand rested on her shoulder stopping her.

She stared, as the bomb disappeared into the planet's atmosphere. Seconds passed and nothing happened. Then came the blinding light that consumed the planet and boiled the seas, the super-massive shockwave that tore it asunder and the screams, she swore she could hear the screams of billions as they perished in atomic fire and destructive waves. Men, Women, children, animals, plants, micro-organisms. Nothing was spared. If she had done as she should, this wouldn't have happened.

"Learn the lesson child, learn it well. Ingrain it into your being, and never make the same mistake twice." the Titan spoke as he caressed her head. Gamora didn't know when, but warm tears slid down her cheeks, unlike that of her sister's joy, hers were of agony. She learned a lesson today, a lesson that would guide her through many perils, a lesson that would mould her into the galaxy's deadliest woman.
