When Su Ming saw Adam Warlock appear wearing the Infinity Gauntlet, he gestured to the others behind his back, telling them to take a detour and carry on with their task while he stayed behind to deal with Adam Warlock.
Su Ming knew the Infinity Stones inside and out.
It was just that he already had the Cosmic Cube and the Time Stone, so he had no interest in the other stones. Besides, gathering every stone might revive Nemesis. Why go looking for trouble?
