The majestic yet gentle energy nourishes every cell in Beckett's body, and Beckett feels very comfortable. Although it is not the first time. For young Beckett, taking a bath is the second most important thing after learning from his adoptive father Thanos.
The cells eagerly devour the energy in the nutrient solution to grow stronger, and the tender body is constantly fine-tuning itself according to the energy intake. The self-adjustment instinct of the Saiyan body is also one of the characteristics that Thanos appreciates. In his opinion, this frequent self-adjustment and strong adaptability and recovery ability may be the reason why the Beckett race is particularly suitable for fighting.
He was really looking forward to seeing how high Beckett would grow once he had trained him. In terms of combat power, the four Obsidian Generals under him were not bad. Whether it was Corvus Glaive or Proxima Midnight, even Ebony Maw, who seemed the weakest among the four, they all had the ability to lead the team and command the battle independently. Over the years, he was able to move forward step by step towards his ideal in the universe, and the four generals played an indispensable role.
But, that's all.
Thanos can see the limit of the Black Order at a glance. To realize the great ideal in his heart, these four people are far from enough. This universe is so big that even the current Thanos does not know how many planets in the vast universe he needs to save. A warrior whose future combat power is enough to surpass the Black Order is worthy of Thanos' careful training. What's more, Beckett is different from the Black Order in that he has been staying by Thanos' side since he was a naive baby, accepting Thanos's philosophy and combat training, which is completely different from those coquettish bitches who joined in the middle.
This is the essential difference between our own people and outsiders.
Time passed by, and Thanos took off his helmet and sat casually in front of the nutrition tank, waiting for his son to come out of the bath. No matter how busy he was, as long as he returned to the temple, he would definitely take a lot of time to chat with his children, talk about his heart, and output his own ideas, so as to subtly influence Beckett's still ignorant mind.
Thanos sees this as a channel for communication with his son, and Beckett, who is still a blank sheet of paper, can allow him to draw and doodle on it.
"dad."
When the door of the nutrient chamber opened and the dripping wet Beckett walked out, what came into view was the lonely figure of Thanos sitting alone in front of the nutrient chamber.
"This time it's twice as long as the last time, Beckett. You're making great progress, far beyond my imagination." Thanos took out the black training suit he had prepared long ago and helped Beckett, who had small arms and legs, put it on. Then he reached out and rubbed Beckett's still wet hair, with satisfaction and kindness engraved on his face.
The longer Beckett stays in the nutrition chamber, the more energy he absorbs. From less than an hour at the beginning to two days at a time now, this is Beckett's progress in the past year.
"Really?" Little Beckett raised his head in surprise, and the red tail behind him began to sway left and right in excitement. What he liked to hear most in the past year was Thanos' praise of him. In addition to this meaning that Thanos recognized him, it also meant that he was one step closer to finding Frieza and avenging his mother.
He really likes the feeling of moving forward step by step, which is also what Thanos taught him. One should be down-to-earth, stick to a goal and give 100% effort to it. Every little growth and every little gain will eventually become the ladder to your success.
"How fast am I improving?" Beckett's young face was full of anticipation as he blinked his big eyes. His red tail swayed unwillingly under Thanos' eyes.
"You are progressing faster than light." With a kind smile, Thanos took little Beckett's hand.
Beckett, who had been taught by Thanos, was no stranger to the speed of light. Hearing Thanos praising him like this, Beckett subconsciously wanted to smile, but then he remembered that his father had taught him to not show his emotions, so he immediately began to control his emotions and facial muscles.
"You don't need to hide yourself in front of me. I am your father, not your enemy."
A conversation between father and son, a doodle imagining the future.
"So, Dad, what is your ideal?"
Thinking of his goal of killing Frieza, Beckett raised his head, his big eyes full of curiosity.
It has been three years since Thanos took him back to the temple. In the past three years, he has heard people around him repeating words like "for the ideals of Lord Thanos" countless times, especially the frail-looking Ebony Maw, who said this the most. He always said it, and never finished it. He just started and then turned to complimenting Thanos and Titan. Hearing this, Beckett was really curious about what the ideals his adoptive father had been fighting for so far.
My, ideal?
Hearing this, the smile on Thanos' face gradually faded, and the sudden change of expression made young Beckett confused. However, this confusion did not last long, as Thanos carried him on his shoulders and took him out of the temple base and walked to the edge of the holy land.
The dark universe and the bright stars together form a magnificent picture, which slowly unfolds in the eyes of Beckett sitting on Thanos' shoulder.
"Beckett, do you see those stars that emit dazzling light?" Thanos raised his right hand and pointed his index finger at the brightest star in the sky. Beckett looked in the direction Thanos pointed and nodded in confusion.
"There are numerous planets in this universe, each of which is as charming as the stars you see. These charming planets together form this vibrant universe, providing the soil and resources for all life in this universe."
"However, resources are limited, while the reproduction of life is endless. The increase in new life will inevitably lead to the depletion of resources in the universe. My ideal is to give those planets whose resources are beginning to be exhausted a second chance for development in an absolutely fair way."
By destroying half of the population on a planet in an absolutely fair way, the remaining people can make full use of the saved resources to start a new and better life. It may be cruel, but this is the only firm idea in Thanos' heart after the destruction of his home planet Titan.
Even the Titans, who are as powerful as dragons, cannot escape the fate that follows the depletion of resources, not to mention those planets in the universe that are not even as powerful as the Titans.
Many powerful and wise people in the universe have seen the contradiction, but no one has taken action to improve the environment of the universe for so many years. Thanos, who was exiled from Titan, was also confused and hesitated whether his choice was right, but the Titans who exiled Thanos failed. As the price of their failure, the prosperous civilization of Titan was destroyed.
What happened to the home planet reaffirmed Thanos's faith.
As a survivor of the Titans, he believed that he was the destiny, and since no one in the universe was willing to step forward, he would do it. This was the path he was destined to take, and he had no regrets.
Some people say that he has no right to make this decision on behalf of the universe, but Thanos himself does not think so. The tragedy of Titan is a fact, and he is powerless to reverse it, but he can prevent similar tragedies from happening on other planets in the universe.
In Thanos's eyes, those who oppose him are extremely stupid. Destined to go down this path to the end, Thanos has already prepared to make everyone in the world his enemy.
"So, what are you going to do after you fulfill your dream, Dad?" Beckett, who had no idea what Thanos said, put his hands under Thanos' chin and asked curiously.
"Yes, what should we do after achieving our ideal?" Thanos smiled and patted Beckett's warm little hand, then looked up at the boundless starry sky.
Perhaps, he would find a planet where no one cared and become a self-sufficient farmer, planting vegetables in the fields, washing melons in the river, and sitting under the eaves to watch the beautiful sunset in the sky.
After half a lifetime of military service, he finally enjoys his old age.
