Originally, Nebula wanted to rush back to the Dark Quadrant to seize the power Thanos left behind, but she forgot about the existence of Ebony Maw, Thanos's chief steward.
Ebony Maw didn't believe his Master would be defeated so easily, so he didn't believe Nebula's news that Thanos had died.
Nebula, attempting to forcefully seize power, was easily defeated by Ebony Maw, but Ebony Maw chose not to kill her, instead letting her leave; at this moment, Nebula was drifting through the Universe with her fleet.
"Daughter of Thanos, I hear your hated father is dead. Do you feel regret?"
Suddenly, a mysterious voice appeared in Nebula's ear.
"Who's speaking? Who are you?"
Nebula looked around warily, only to see that the surrounding soldiers showed no signs of abnormality.
"Did any of you hear anything?"
Nebula asked her subordinates around her.
"My Lord Nebula, we didn't hear any sound."
The soldiers all replied in unison that they hadn't heard a single sound.
Just as Nebula thought she was hallucinating, the voice rang out again:
"Daughter of Thanos, do you truly believe he has died?"
Hearing this, Nebula's expression suddenly changed, but then softened; now, all signs indicated that the man had indeed perished on Morag.
"Thanos is a thing of the past. He failed, and with his ridiculous ideals, he completely vanished into the Universe."
"Now, I am free! I no longer have to be his weapon!"
Nebula didn't believe Thanos was still alive; that demon-like tyrant had tormented her body and mind.
Her half-mechanical body constantly accused her of the suffering she had endured.
"Is that so!"
"Are you sure your nightmare has truly dissipated, and that man won't appear again?"
The mysterious voice continued to speak in Nebula's ear.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Nebula questioned the mysterious voice.
"I am merely stating a truth you are unwilling to accept. If you want to know the truth of everything, why not visit the ruins of Titan? Perhaps you will discover an unexpected surprise."
After the mysterious voice finished speaking, there was no further sound.
At this moment, a fierce internal struggle was taking place in Nebula's mind.
On one hand, she truly hoped Thanos was truly dead, completely dispelling her years of nightmares.
But, deep down, there was a different emotion, a sliver of hope that her demon-like father was still alive.
Under the influence of conflicting emotions, Nebula still decided to go to Titan, if only to put her mind at ease.
"Full speed ahead, target Titan."
Immediately, Nebula ordered her fleet to set course for Titan.
On Titan, Thanos looked at the countless ruins around him, and couldn't help but reach out to touch them.
Although he was born in this place, after he was exiled from Titan, it was he who personally led his army to destroy it.
"I never thought I'd return here again!"
Thanos looked up at the gray sky above Titan, mumbling to himself.
He had so forcefully used violence to annihilate this place, and now he felt just as desolate inside.
Having lost his proud strength, he was now as weak as a mortal.
Sitting down on the ruins, Thanos carefully surveyed everything around him, as if the once prosperous scene was still vivid in his memory.
Unknowingly, Thanos felt his spirit grow increasingly weary, and his eyes slowly closed without him realizing it!
After an unknown amount of time, Thanos was suddenly awakened by a pang of pain.
Opening his eyes, he saw an unknown small Beast tearing at his arm.
Without the slightest hesitation, Thanos flipped his hand, grabbed the Beast, then picked up a nearby stone and smashed it hard on its head.
One, two, after more than a dozen blows, the Beast was finally killed.
"Am I really this weak now!"
Thanos looked at the Beast's corpse, and couldn't help but feel a moment of silence about his current state.
The hunger in his stomach made him involuntarily salivate at the Beast's corpse.
As an Eternal Titan, after he awakened his abilities, he rarely felt hunger!
Because absorbing the Universe's energy was enough to sustain his life; food was not a necessity for a Titan.
However, the hunger he hadn't experienced for hundreds of years had returned.
Enduring the discomfort, Thanos still grabbed the Beast's corpse and bit into it.
Though fallen, he wasn't going to simply wait for Death.
He was Thanos; as long as he was alive, he would always seek an opportunity to rise again.
After eating half of the Beast's corpse, Thanos finally no longer felt hungry!
Then, he stood up, preparing to search the ruins for anything he could use; he had to find a way to leave this place.
Unfortunately, Titan had been destroyed for hundreds of years, and everything from before had been wiped clean by his fleet!
As far as the eye could see, there were only desolate ruins.
Thanos began to trek through the ruins of Titan when suddenly a familiar sound came from the sky.
A massive spaceship, emblazoned with the Dark Quadrant symbol, slowly descended before him.
In an instant, a glimmer of hope surged in Thanos's heart.
Originally, when Nebula saw the nightmare-like purple figure in the ship's received images, her instinctive reaction was to leave.
But after careful observation, she realized that Thanos seemed to have lost his all-conquering power.
Out of years of resentment towards Thanos, Nebula still ordered the ship to land.
The group of semi-mechanical mass-produced biological weapons behind her had long since been completely under her control; even when facing their former Master, these fellows would only follow Nebula's commands.
"Nebula."
Thanos, as before, called out Nebula's name.
Hearing his voice, Nebula's body instinctively trembled uncontrollably, but the next moment she forcefully suppressed all discomfort!
"Thanos!"
A voice filled with infinite hatred came from Nebula's mouth.
Then, without another word, Nebula raised her wrist, emitting a shockwave that directly sent Thanos flying, crashing heavily into the ruins behind him.
Immediately, a mouthful of fresh blood gushed from Thanos's mouth.
Seeing this, Nebula finally truly confirmed that the Thanos before her was no longer the Dark Tyrant of the past, but merely a worthless piece of trash she could easily manipulate.
In an instant, all the torments she had suffered surged into her mind, Nebula's eyes reddened slightly, then she rushed forward and began to punch and kick Thanos.
Thanos, having suffered such a heavy blow, was utterly powerless to resist, only able to reluctantly raise his arms to parry.
This one-sided beating lasted for nearly an hour, as Nebula vented all the torment she had endured over the years.
By this time, Thanos was on the verge of Death.
However, there was a faint hint of relief in his gaze towards Nebula, and that look deeply stung Nebula.
She desperately wanted to fire a blast and directly blow Thanos's head off, but after raising her wrist, she couldn't bring herself to do it for a long time.
