—Uatu the WatcherDoes it make sense to plant a field of wheat and not harvest it? To leave it to rot beneath the Sun? All things die. All worlds end. If they end in silence, and death erases all that they once were, then there can be no greater meaning. But when a Destroyer absorbs a planet, more than mere hunger is assuaged. The hunger is simply the means to an end, a way to compel the Destroyers to do what they must...to gather the harvest and prepare the way for the birth of the next universe from the ashes of the old. They harvest not just the planet and the lives of those who live there, but also their art, their music, their stories. All the things that gave them purpose, and beauty--and the will to fight until the last breath for the right to live, to breathe, to exist. This determination, this will to survive, becomes a force powerful enough to bend creation toward a desire for new life.
