Gamora's eyes flashed with a hint of struggle when she heard the question.

Under Thanos's imposing presence, she almost revealed the coordinates.

But when she thought of the prosperous scenery and the magnificent buildings she had seen on the Peace Star, she ultimately suppressed the idea.

So she shook her head and said, "Father, I had some news about the Wilderness Star, but I suddenly saw your wanted notice and had to come back immediately."

You've misunderstood. I didn't defect. I accidentally broke my Communicator while searching for clues, and since I haven't found any information yet, I'm too ashamed to come back and see my father."

During that month, she had already thought of an excuse to explain herself on her way back.

As for confronting her father directly and explaining her thoughts, she never even considered it.

After so many years of getting along, she had long understood that her father's mind was incredibly firm and could not be swayed by anyone, nor could it be shaken at all.

If one were to describe a person's unwavering resolve as having an iron will, then her father's would be an alloy, specifically Adamantium.

Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Thanos's eyes.

He's more experienced than the other person, so naturally he wouldn't believe their excuse.

However, he still pretended to be relieved and said, "I see. But since you've gone missing, I've entrusted the task of finding the Wilderness Star to Nebula. Tell me all the clues you know, and I'll help Nebula avoid some detours."

Even though he knew the other person was lying, he didn't choose to expose them in order to extract some clues.

Upon hearing this, Gamora felt a sudden pang of panic.

For some reason, despite always appearing as a strong woman in front of others, she always felt involuntarily guilty when facing her father.

She certainly knew the clues to the Wilderness Star, and even knew its coordinates, but she dared not say it.

Because she knew her father's ambition: to collect the Six Infinity Stones, rule the universe, and let his unfree and unequal policies dominate it.

After experiencing the wonders of the outside world, she had no desire for her father to rule the universe.

Otherwise, so many beautiful things would disappear, and people would lose their freedom.

But she doesn't know how to refuse.

After all, they've been searching for clues about the Wilderness Star for so many years, they couldn't possibly be completely unaware of anything.

But what if I actually tell Nebula and she finds it?

Lying? Wouldn't that be exposed immediately?

While Gamora was struggling with her decision, Thanos was losing patience.

He stood up, and his aura instantly surged.

The pressure was so great that the five people below could no longer withstand it and immediately squatted down.

"My patience is limited!"

Since Gamora isn't willing to reveal even the slightest clue, then he can't blame her for being impolite.

After saying that, he waved his hand.

In an instant, a giant hand made of purple destructive energy appeared beside Star-Lord and grabbed him.

"Ah!"

Star-Lord was enveloped in destructive energy and immediately let out a painful scream.

The purple Destructive Power was relentlessly eroding his body, and his willpower made the pain unbearable.

Thanos looked at his daughter and shouted, "Tell me everything you know!"

At this moment, Rocket Raccoon, Groot, and Drax, seeing Star-Lord's pained expression, wanted to help, but they couldn't even stand up, so they could only look at Gamora with hopeful eyes.

Their original plan was to return first to clear up the misunderstanding, and then stay by Thanos's side to find an opportunity to steal the gems.

The plan failed right at the beginning.

Thanos doesn't play by the rules at all.

Their usually foolproof persuasion skills were completely useless against them.

The tried-and-true method of lowering intelligence has also disappeared.

You should know that last year, the reason they were able to kill Ego of the Celestials was because of these two things: persuasion and brainwashing, forcibly giving him a plot-driven death.

Now that those two special abilities are useless, the Guardians of the Galaxy are just Ordinary Person.

Gamora looked at the suffering Star-Lord with concern, feeling extremely distressed and tormented herself.

You have to understand that she and Star-Lord have been together for more than three years. Given his personality, it's impossible for nothing to happen between them.

They already knew everything about him and had a deep understanding of him.

However, under Thanos's tutelage, her rationality always took precedence.

However, in the end, feelings prevailed.

"Between the Laniakea Supercluster and the Hydra-Centaurus Supercluster, there is a broken Galaxy, and Wilderness Star is one of the Fixed Star that escaped from this broken Galaxy."

Upon hearing this, Thanos withdrew his destructive hand and walked out of the Sanctuary.

"Keep an eye on them."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding Black Order immediately raised their weapons and surrounded him.

"Huff... cough cough..."

After Star-Lord fell, he immediately began to gasp for breath, and even choked on the air.

He felt like he was going to die, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable and painful; it was as if every cell in his body was dying.

After a while, he caught his breath and looked at the Black Order Warrior around him, immediately realizing that he and his companions were doomed.

Just as Gamora said, Thanos is not someone they can talk their way out of.

After Thanos left the Sanctuary Hall, he immediately instructed Deep Blue to inform Nebula of the coordinates Gamora had just mentioned.

He hadn't expected that this Wilderness Star was so far away, even outside of Galaxy Cluster.

Then, the thought suddenly flashed through his mind that he should go to Blue Star and retrieve the Space Stone first.

However, having already figured out what was going on, he immediately shook his head.

It seems that unknown entity is still trying to influence me.

He shook his head and went back to his room.

The room is only 300 square meters, and there are no lavish decorations inside, just simple furnishings, a large bed, a meditation room and a bathroom.

For someone of his status as a powerful ruler, this room was naturally unworthy of him.

Many of his subordinates suggested that he should be given even better support, but he refused them all.

Having never been fond of indulging in pleasures, he naturally wouldn't pay much attention to these flashy but impractical things.

He quickly stripped naked, revealing his muscular, purple body, and then went into the bathroom.

After turning on the water, the tap water began to gush out, washing over his tired body.

Suddenly, Thanos felt everything go black, as if he had entered a dark space.

The surrounding space was of unknown extent, one side of which was completely dark, seemingly boundless.

If a normal person were suddenly placed in such an environment, they would definitely feel scared or uneasy.

But Thanos remained completely calm, showing no sign of emotional distress.

Because he knew who he had met.
