Upon hearing that Space Rift had appeared, Gamora suddenly felt uneasy.

She had a premonition that the person who came was her father.

She must take the Soul Stone and leave immediately.

Thinking of this, she continued, "Hurry, we don't have much time left. Let's find the Soul Stone now. As for who to give it to, let's get it first."

Upon hearing this, Tanelia immediately nodded and said, "Yes, let's get the Soul Stone first. My Spaceship detected life on the third Planet in the Star System; I'll go check it out."

At this moment, he was also very uneasy, so he didn't want to waste any more time with the other party and immediately ordered his men to pilot the Spaceship forward.

With the two Spaceship, one large and one small, activating their Spatial Corridor engines, they traversed billions of kilometers in just over ten minutes, arriving ten thousand kilometers away from their target Planet.

But at that moment, a spatial portal outside the Wilderness Star opened, and a huge, menacing Spaceship appeared.

It was Thanos's vehicle, the Titan-class Spaceship, Sanctuary II.

When Tanelia saw Sanctuary II appear, she was immediately startled and suddenly said, "Um... I just remembered that I think I left the gas on at home. Could you guys help me get the Soul Stone? I'll double the reward."

Upon hearing this, Gamora immediately retorted, "Didn't you say you weren't afraid of Thanos? Hey, where are you?"

Before she could finish speaking, she realized the call had been disconnected, and she rolled her eyes.

Meanwhile, after hanging up the call, Tanelia immediately ordered his men to initiate a spatial jump and get away from the area.

However, after a while, his subordinate told him helplessly that the nearby space was blocked and it would take some time to open the spatial passage.

This made Tanelia's face turn pale, and she said loudly, "Then let's speed up the opening of the spatial passage, even if it damages the Engine a little, it's fine."

He was afraid of death, one could even say he was extremely afraid of death.

Years ago, he and his wife offended the Death God because of certain things, and were thus cursed to never enter the Underworld.

At first, they were naturally very happy, because it meant they had gained immortality and had an endless lifespan.

But just a few million years later, his wife, unable to bear this endless existence, chose to commit suicide.

However, out of fear of death, he did not go with his wife, but lived alone in this universe.

Three billion years have passed since then.

Furthermore, to avoid accidental death, he frequently used his prophetic abilities to prevent any unforeseen events from happening to him.

You could say he's taken the art of hiding to the extreme.

But for some reason, he suddenly had a brain fart and actually chose to come in person.

Upon seeing Thanos appear, reason prevailed once again, and he chose to follow his heart.

Upon hearing their leader's order, the subordinates began to fully activate the space jump, but before the space portal could open, a purple figure suddenly appeared in front of the Spaceship.

Then he swung the knife down.

In the next instant, the 1,000-meter-long Spaceship split in two.

Immediately afterwards, a flash of light appeared, followed by an explosion.

Thanos gripped the Destruction Blade, coldly watching the Spaceship explode, but he did not lower his guard.

Because he could sense that there were still people inside who were not dead.

Upon seeing Thanos appear, the five Guardians of the Galaxy in the distance immediately attempted to leave in their Spaceship.

But for some reason, the Spaceship suddenly crashed and couldn't be started at all.

A moment later, as the smoke and dust from the explosion dissipated, Tanelia's figure was revealed.

At this moment, the opponent's muscles bulged, and he stared at Thanos with a grim expression.

"Thanos, let's keep to ourselves and not interfere with each other. How about letting me go?"

The curse of the Death God granted him immortality, but it also prevented him from ever increasing his strength again.

Otherwise, after three billion years, even a pig would have cultivated to the Multiversal Level.

However, he remained stuck at the Sub-Skyfather level, with no improvement in his strength whatsoever.

It was precisely because of the difference in strength that he spoke such heartfelt words.

Thanos shook his head and said coldly, "Not good. Since you've gotten involved in the fight for the Infinity Stones, you should be prepared to pay the price."

There's no such thing as a free lunch. You want to compete for the Infinity Stones, but when you realize you can't win, you want to back out unscathed.

And he seemed to understand how the thought had come to him.

If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Death God who wanted to use him to kill Tanelia.

Although he didn't know why the Death God hadn't just killed Tanelia directly, it was clear that the other party's initial plan had failed.

Tanelia was not tormented by her endless lifespan; on the contrary, she lived a very comfortable life, which probably angered the Death God.

However, Tanelia has lived for three billion years, so he probably knows quite a few secrets.

This is also why he didn't make a move right away; he wanted to get some information out of them.

Upon hearing Thanos's words, Tanelia became alert and said gravely, "Are you sure you want to fight to the death? Although I'm not as strong as you, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Thanos's world- World-Destroying Power began to surge.

A dense, Deep Purple aura began to envelop his entire body.

The surrounding space and light seemed to sense this immense pressure, and began to move around it.

Even the five members of the Guardians of the Galaxy, thousands of kilometers away, all fell silent, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Soon, beads of cold sweat appeared on Tanelia's forehead, and her body involuntarily began to slowly retreat.

This powerful aura had far exceeded his ability to handle it.

Damn it, wasn't Thanos supposed to have only recently reached the Skyfather-level? What's going on?

Although it's true that he has lived for three billion years and has learned countless Secret Art and ultimate moves, everything is in vain in the face of absolute power.

"You... you stay away! What will it take for you to let me go?"

While living a long life doesn't necessarily equate to being capable, it certainly indicates a wealth of experience and intelligence.

Seeing that Thanos didn't act immediately, they knew they still had a chance to survive.

Thanos smiled slightly and withdrew all his Destructive Power.

"I'm curious, why were you cursed by the Death God?"

Upon hearing the question, Tanelia's expression immediately changed, and she said with a mournful look, "Besides this question, can you ask me anything else?"

This involves a power struggle among the big shots, so he dared not reveal it casually.

Thanos didn't make things difficult for the other party, but instead changed the subject.

"I heard that Eternity and someone from the Celestials had a secret relationship, is that true?"

Upon hearing this question, Tanelia's face darkened further, and she said with a slight tremor, "I'll answer your first question instead..."

Thanos smiled slightly and said casually, "It's fine, you can answer whichever one you like."

After saying that, he seemed to casually swing the Tyrant's Blade a couple of times, as if checking the sharpness of his weapon.

Seeing this, Tanelia could only think to herself.

This is so hard for me.
