A tall humanoid creature with purple skin walked out of the space tunnel. He stood there, staring at Fang Zheng with his small eyes.

"Do you have the remaining two Infinity Stones?"

"That's right."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng nodded, then he looked at the golden glove on the other person's left hand and the four Infinity Stones on it.

"It looks like the remaining four Infinity Stones are in your hands. Are you Thanos?"

"That's right."

Thanos nodded, then he glanced at the half of the wreckage that was exposed above the sea not far away.

"It seems that all my men are dead. This is a heavy loss, but anyway..."

As he spoke, Thanos looked towards Fang Zheng.

"At least, these two gems have come to me."

"I've heard of you."

Fang Zheng shrugged.

"I'm very interested in your idea. Can you tell me how you came up with this interesting idea? I mean..."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng snapped his fingers.

"Kill half and leave the other half?"

“…”

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Thanos was silent for a moment, then spoke.

"My hometown was once a beautiful and rich planet. However, like other planetary civilizations, we are facing a crisis of resource depletion. What we produce is far from enough for our needs. If this continues, we will have no way out. So, I put forward a suggestion..."

"Kill half? And leave the other half?"

"That's right."

Thanos nodded.

"But it's random, fair, and doesn't discriminate between rich and poor. But they said I was crazy... but the result was the same as I predicted. Our hometown was destroyed, and I was just one of the survivors. As long as I collect six gems and snap my fingers, half of the creatures in this universe will be wiped out... I think this is mercy. I will save all civilizations in this universe. This is balance..."

“Hehehe…”

“Huff, huff, huff…”

However, what Thanos didn't expect was that before he finished speaking, Aige and Fang Zheng laughed respectively.

"Hahaha...how interesting...so that's how you see it?"

"certainly."

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Thanos raised his left hand with a gloomy face.

"Now, I have collected all four gems. I... am the destiny. No one can defeat me. I will get the last two gems, and then... become the savior of this universe."

“Hahahahahaha…”

However, this time, Fang Zheng and Ai Ge were laughing like crazy.

"Father, I have never seen such a stupid person... hehe..."

“No, no, no. I’ve seen people more foolish than this, but I’m the first one who believes it so firmly. My stomach hurts… Wait, let me take my time…”

As he spoke, Fang Zheng rubbed his stomach. He then coughed softly, and then he forced himself to be serious and looked at Thanos again.

"So... um, that... you think... your race is extinct because resources are limited, so in order to maintain balance, you have to destroy half of all life... Hahahaha... Sorry, sorry, let me start over... I really can't help it..."

"Is it so ridiculous?"

Although Thanos' expression was calm, there was a hint of barely perceptible anger in his tone.

"I'm sorry, that's really ridiculous. I think you don't understand what balance is."

"……What do you mean?"

Hearing this, Thanos raised his eyebrows and looked at Fang Zheng, who shrugged his shoulders.

"It's very simple. In this universe, all life and all civilizations will encounter various tests from the moment they are born. Just like humans, at first, they were naked and survived in the severe cold. If they didn't find a way to fight the coldness of nature, they would be extinct. In order to survive and continue, humans learned to make fire."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng spread out his hands.

"Next, humans had to face floods and attacks from wild beasts. They had no fangs or claws, and could not fight against ferocious creatures like mammoths or saber-toothed tigers. But humans also needed resources and food. So they learned to make and use weapons... Faced with floods, people learned to build dams. In order to ensure a stable and sufficient food source, humans learned to graze and farm. In order to fight against other civilizations and preserve their own tribes, civilizations, and countries, humans began to develop gradually. You see, this is the development process of civilization. Almost every civilization is like this. They have to face all kinds of problems, both natural disasters and man-made disasters. They must find a solution. If they can't find one, then there is only one way out, and that is death."

Having said this, Fang Zheng curled his lips.

"You see, if they don't know how to build dams, then all the people in this tribe will be drowned. If they don't know how to make weapons, then humans will always be prey and food for other beasts. If they don't know how to build buildings, then humans will never be able to build a large civilized gathering place. If they don't learn to farm and graze, then humans may have starved to death long ago. Every problem that every civilization encounters along the way is a test paper given to us by nature. Only when we complete this test paper and answer it correctly can we enter the next stage."

Fang Zheng looked at Thanos again.

"It's like the college entrance examination. Only if you pass the score line can you go to the university you want. If you fail, sorry, you will have to repeat the grade. And if you keep failing the exam, then you can only give up the idea. Your civilization is the same. The depletion of resources and the increase in population are problems that every civilization will encounter. The same is true for humans. If they don't solve this problem, they will also perish. If they solve this problem and answer the test paper correctly, then humans can enter the next stage."

“…”

Facing Fang Zheng's words, the expressions of Thanos and the Avengers couldn't help but change, but Fang Zheng stared at Thanos and continued speaking.

"Your civilization also faced this test paper, but unfortunately, your civilization did not answer it correctly, so it was eliminated."

"That's why I have to do this, because only by doing this can I save other civilizations in this universe!"

"You're just running away."

However, Fang Zheng interrupted Thanos' rebuttal with just one sentence.

"This test paper is right here. Every civilization will encounter it sooner or later. You are helping them evade the test now, but you can't help them evade the test forever. You see, this world is actually very fair. Civilizations that answer the test paper correctly will make further progress, while civilizations that answer incorrectly will pay the price or become extinct. This is balance, do you understand?"

Looking at Thanos' increasingly gloomy face with great interest, Fang Zheng almost couldn't help laughing out loud again.

"Balance? You don't understand what balance is. Everything has balance, but what is artificially created is not called balance. What's more interesting is that you actually think you have obtained the truth and become the destiny... Haha, do you deserve the surname Zhao?"

"you……"

"Okay, let's stop here with this question."

Fang Zheng has lost interest in discussing this topic. Thanos is just like a mentally retarded person. Everything he did is essentially no different from what the Americans do today. They firmly believe that democracy and freedom are the panacea to save everything. So if your country is neither democratic nor free, then they will destroy your country for the sake of democracy and freedom, and then tell you that this is for the good of you and your country.

Equally mentally retarded.

"If possible, I still want to solve this problem in a peaceful way. I advise you to hand over the four gems in your hand to me, otherwise..."

"Otherwise, what do you want?"

Hearing this, Thanos stared at Fang Zheng coldly, while Fang Zheng gave a calm answer.

"Otherwise, I will destroy all civilizations in the universe except humans."
