ps1: The universe the protagonist is in is an unknown parallel universe from Dragon Ball. The synopsis clearly states this, so please stop with the nonsensical comments.
ps2: To the "true fans," please read the synopsis when you read the book. I revised it to clearly state it's a parallel universe, yet you still criticize it based on the main universe. Do I need to recommend ophthalmologists for you?
ps3: Don't say "adaptation isn't distortion, speculation isn't fabrication." Toei Animation themselves created two different versions of Broly's setting. Why can't my Beckett be from a parallel universe?
ps4: This book's logic is self-consistent. Up to the completion of the Marvel main story arc, the power levels and plot have not collapsed. Please don't worry about it, "Dragon Ball fans," thank you.
ps5: This PS section was written on March 31, 2020, after the Marvel main story arc concluded.
ps6: By the way, adding this PS section now has no other meaning than to tell new readers that the main story's plot and power levels haven't collapsed. Don't be influenced by keyboard warriors shouting "key come." You can read with confidence.
..............................
In the vast and boundless universe, there was Planet Vegeta, home to the Saiyans.
As representatives of a warlike race, the Saiyans' cruelty was infamous throughout the universe. But today, the Saiyans, who were once so arrogant in their cruelty as to be almost invincible, suffered a catastrophic disaster.
The Cosmic Emperor Frieza personally intervened. The entire Planet Vegeta, including King Vegeta and all Saiyan warriors then existing on Planet Vegeta, were wiped out by this ruthless emperor.
"What a shame. If they weren't the legendary Super Saiyans, these people would have made decent subordinates." Because King Vegeta's intent to rebel was leaked, Frieza, who feared the Super Saiyans spoken of in Saiyan legends and intended to conquer the entire universe, had to personally eliminate any potential rivals.
There were no survivors on the entirety of Planet Vegeta. In Frieza's estimation, besides Saiyan Prince Vegeta and his team, who were currently on a mission outside, there should no longer be any Saiyans in the universe.
Frieza strolled alone on Planet Vegeta, littered with corpses, admiring his masterpiece. Blood stained Frieza's toes, and his pale skin appeared particularly terrifying in the moonlight.
"Hm?"
As he passed a certain circular building, Frieza paused, a playful smile appearing on his face. He raised his right hand, pointing his index finger at the circular building before him. Immense energy gathered into a single point and shot from Frieza's fingertip towards the building.
BOOM!!!
The sound of energy collision was piercingly loud on the silent Planet Vegeta. The fragile building, unable to withstand the energy's destructive force, gradually dissolved, revealing the figure hiding within.
A beautiful woman, holding an infant in her arms.
"Oh, a surviving Saiyan? Truly a rare sight." The Saiyan family values, known for their cruelty and warlike nature, were notoriously weak. Yet, this woman before him, desperately protecting the infant in her arms, completely subverted Frieza's perception of the Saiyan race.
When the abnormal occurs, there must be a reason.
Due to King Vegeta's sudden rebellion, Frieza was now extremely sensitive to any abnormal behavior exhibited by the Saiyan race. The legendary Super Saiyans made Frieza cautious.
"Frieza! Why!"
"Why? Do I need to give you a reason?"
Frieza's smile grew more cruel. The only remaining life on the entire Planet Vegeta should be this mother and son.
Saiyans were sufficient with only Vegeta, who knew nothing at the moment. As for the others, since they chose rebellion, they had to pay the price, a price in blood.
Immense energy effortlessly pierced through the female Saiyan's chest.
As if sensing his mother's death, the infant, who should have been asleep, groggily opened his eyes. His small hands tugged at his mother's long, flowing hair. The babbling sounds, however, ceased in the next moment. The last tender bud of life on Planet Vegeta, withered before it could even bloom its own light.
"A Planet Vegeta without Saiyans no longer has a reason to exist." Frieza, leaving Planet Vegeta's surface, raised his right index finger. A cruel smile accompanied this seemingly casual remark. With a light tap of his fingertip, he aimed at Planet Vegeta.
"FRIEZAAAAAAA!!!!!"
With a heart-wrenching roar, a figure desperately blocked the energy ball Frieza had unleashed.
"Oh, there's still one? The last Saiyan? Too bad, you're not qualified."
The abundant life force of this sole remaining Saiyan warrior was indeed astonishing to ordinary people, but in Frieza's eyes, it was merely so.
It was nothing more than a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
Under Frieza's sinister grin, an extremely dense energy, along with this warrior who was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, was instantly engulfed, submerging the entire Planet Vegeta. Planet Vegeta's core, its heart shattered, began to expand rapidly, everything proceeding as Frieza had anticipated.
BOOM!!!!
The expanding energy reached its limit and exploded, and the entire Planet Vegeta instantly met its demise.
And on Planet Vegeta, amidst the great explosion, because the warrior desperately resisted Frieza's attack, the female Saiyan, who had awakened from a state of suspended animation, had enough time to send her son out of Planet Vegeta, out of this planet on the verge of destruction.
The roars in the sky gradually faded. The woman looked at everything rapidly disappearing before her, her pale face filled with reluctance.
"Beckett, Mommy loves you."
"So, you must live, you must."
The infant, whom she had also placed in a state of suspended animation, was placed by the female Saiyan into a life pod hidden in their home. Although she had long guessed that Frieza would personally handle King Vegeta's rebellion, she hadn't expected Frieza's power to be so immense, so strong that the warriors of the entire Planet Vegeta were no match for him.
Inside the prepared life pod, the awakened infant's small hands continuously patted the transparent cabin door, his babbling sounds filled with heartbroken cries. The only response he received was his mother pressing the button to launch the life pod.
BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!!
Planet Vegeta's core began its final explosion. The scattered energy even distorted the edge of the universe, creating a black hole. The just-launched life pod was sucked in without any resistance. The violent tremors directly caused the infant inside to fall into a coma...
..................
Marvel Universe, Titan.
The conflict between limited resources and Titan's ever-growing population had reached an irreconcilable point. This planet, once home to a prosperous civilization, had ultimately met its day of demise.
A warrior, once exiled by the Titan race, wandered the barren land under the setting sun, gazing at the boundless starry sky with neither joy nor sorrow.
He had always believed he was not wrong. The current plight of his home planet, Titan, further solidified his conviction about his life's mission.
Those foolish, stubborn old fossils had all turned to dust in the universe amidst this catastrophe. No one could now stop him from pursuing and realizing his ideals in the name of Titan.
He, Thanos, was born for destiny.
Removing his blood-stained helmet, Thanos sat atop the ruins of Titan, gazing into the sunset that had dyed the sky red, lost in thought. Suddenly, the cry of a baby interrupted his contemplation. Thanos, feeling curious, stood up and followed the sound. A naked infant was crying amidst the ruins of Titan.
As if sensing Thanos's arrival, the baby stopped crying and looked at the stranger before him with wide, wary eyes.
"A child of Titan, a survivor like me?"
Thanos murmured softly, a rare, gentle smile appearing on his usually cold face. He didn't know why the child had a red tail, but what did it matter?
He himself, Thanos, was an anomaly among the Titan race. What was so strange about another anomaly appearing?
His broad fingers toyed with the infant, whose gaze was filled with coldness and suspicion. As if he had discovered a new world, Thanos felt the urge to adopt the child.
Having such eyes even as an infant reminded him of his own youth.
"From today on, you are my child."
"Your name is Beckett."
Under the setting sun, the tall figure clad in golden armor cradled a squirming infant in his arms and walked away from the desolate Titan.
