Inside the bridge of the Milano, the atmosphere was depressed to the extreme.

Everyone could see that slowly approaching figure from outside the porthole. He did not display any killing intent, but that aura of supreme dominance, that casual nonchalance of having just wiped out a fleet and captured a lackey of Thanos alive a moment ago, was more suffocating than any killing intent.

Gamora did not say a word, just staring fixedly at Link with all her muscles tensed, like a female leopard preparing to greet a battle to the death.
