When Gamil saw that Thanos had no intention of moving, he knew his plan had been seen through.
But he wasn't worried that Thanos would refuse to take the bait. He merely turned toward Sanctuary II and the Black Order in the distance.
"If we unleash our full power, I doubt any of them will survive the shockwaves."
He finished with a confident smile.
The threat was obvious.
Thanos replied evenly, "My subordinates certainly wouldn't survive. But I doubt Earth in the Solar System would, either."
Gamil narrowed his eyes and glared coldly at Thanos.
"If I remember correctly, Tiamut helped protect you from the Universal Coalition Army. You wouldn't want anything to happen to him, would you?"
Thanos shook his head in disdain at Gamil's attempt to threaten him with Tiamut.
"I don't know about the other Celestials, but you absolutely cannot afford to lose Tiamut."
He was no longer the novice he had once been. He knew quite a bit about the Celestials now.
To reach Multiversal Level, one had to absorb every counterpart across the universes. Even if Tiamut died in this universe, he wouldn't truly die, but his death would undoubtedly hamper his ultimate strength.
The Celestials had been planning this for years and had paid an enormous price. They had even stationed Gamil on Blue Star to guard Tiamut. They would never allow the slightest mishap to befall him.
Sure enough.
Gamil's expression changed when Thanos pointed out how important Tiamut was.
The change was almost imperceptible on his metallic face, but Thanos still caught his hesitation.
So Thanos continued, "Tiamut did save what remained of my fleet, though. Unless I have no other choice, I won't destroy Blue Star myself."
The moment he finished speaking, he tightened his grip on his weapon and charged.
