This is the end, it is his end. All of that only for a drop of blood.
He is on his knees, while his downfall is standing in front of him. All he can do is marvel at the scene beside them. There were so many destructions and death.
And she walks closer to him, every step she took becoming harder to hear as the sound drowned by his own pounding heartbeat.
"Oh Thanos…" he hears the voice with the tone so cold it actually brings a chill to his bone, and he can't help the shivers that enveloped his body. She walks around him, he tried to follow her with his eyes. Fearing what she might do to her. but he can't actually move his own neck, as his body fells dead as a rock unable to move struck by fears. For the first time in his life, he feels terror and admiration in their purest forms.
"You know.." She comes around and stopped in front of him and looks right through his eyes. And at that time he felt bare like those eyes can see right into his deepest part of his soul that he himself can't even remember or maybe even know.
"I really admire your motivation for doing what you deem is good." His eyes widen. Maybe he still has a chance. Maybe he could reason with her. Make her see what he see, and make her understand. Yes if it's with her, he is sure that nothing can even start to think how to stop them, let alone stand on their way. Of that, he has no doubt.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to say what he wants to say. She reaches out with her right hand to his chin, shutting him up and say "but there is this one small problem." She pulls her hand away.
Now she raises her left hand up in front of her face, the hand that wears the infinity gauntlet. His infinity gauntlet. His ticket to his utopia. She was staring at it, he can't really tell what she is thinking with that expression. Is it wishful? Adoration? Respect? He honestly can't tell.
"This is a really nice tool. A powerful one. But a tool nonetheless." She looks at him and chuckles. "Don't give me that look. A tool is meant to be used. But how efficient it is at doing its job is always thrust down on the person that uses it, on the little thing called a brain." She smiles and pats his head. "And this is the small problem. You are intelligent but you are not wise. You see there is a difference between intelligence and wisdom. Intelligence is more about making mistake and acquiring knowledge and being able to solve a problem through that. Wisdom, on the other hand. Is about applying the correct knowledge in the most efficient way. Wisdom is being able to see beyond the intelligence gained and being able to apply that to other things."
She took a few steps back still with that mysterious smile plastered on her face. "And solving a problem with brute force is not wisdom. Because some problem, only gives you one chance to solve them. So be wise Thanos destroyer of worlds."
With that, she raises her hand and snaps her fingers.
