 The realms are being set up, Ares.

 Good. They will suffer for their chaos.

 Do you not feed on conflict?

 I do. But it is to create a... more perfect world.

 One without intelligence.

 Sort of...

 Impressive. I myself would never have thought of it.

 See, Thanos, you think too small. Your goal is power, but how is power achieved?

 By removing the ones capable of stopping you from achieving it.

 Exactly. Though... I realize... despite all the power I've gathered, despite my being nearly all-powerful... I still have weaknesses.

 Such as?

 All this time, these heroes remain divided. By greed, or by self-interest. But... should they choose to unite? I will be doomed.

 Let me eliminate half of them.

 Even if there were only two of them left, and they both joined up? I would be vanquished. My purpose would be defeated. Conflict among them would no longer exist.

 That's why those realms exist.

 Yes... to draw the lines. To keep them divided.

<Thanos> Yet you still expect them all to face you.

<Ares> Yes, but they would not trust each other. Conflict from within. The greatest source of all.

<Thanos> Hm... but the boy.

<Ares> He is but a boy.

<Thanos> But countless boys have defeated you before.

<Ares> True. And he does have the most powerful weapons.

<Thanos> Take no precautions. Eliminate him immediately.

<Ares> Peace, Ares. He will be used as our tool. Let us see how well our "heroes" will fare against him...
