Chapter 565: On the Verge of Eruption
Under Star-Lord's bold words, the Benatar once again carried the Guardians of the Galaxy on their journey.
To celebrate persuading Gamora to return, Star-Lord even started playing a song from his mother's specially selected Awesome Mix.
"Hooked on a Feeling," he felt this song best expressed his current mood.
In a high-tech spaceship freely roaming the cosmos, decades-old songs were playing inside. This wonderful contrast was something ordinary humans couldn't appreciate.
Driven by the music, Star-Lord swayed in his chair, closing his eyes and humming his beloved song. At this moment, he lived under his mother's gaze, radiating his vitality like a child. He felt he must be the most dazzling kid in the universe right now.
But in the eyes of the other Guardians of the Galaxy, Star-Lord at this moment was like a fat meat worm trying to break out of its eggshell.
"Record a new symptom, Groot," Rocket whispered to the little tree-person. "Sandwich overdose syndrome. The patient becomes obese from excessive sandwich intake and then fantasizes that he is a superstar."
"I am Groot."
The beautiful melody drowned out Rocket and Groot's muttering. Feeling good, Star-Lord began to radiate his charm everywhere, just in time to look at the whispering father and son duo.
Facing the electric eyes Star-Lord cast over, Rocket and Groot waved back with smiles, then whispered, "I'm going to vomit. I never want to eat a sandwich again in my life."
"I am Groot."
Gamora was speechless at Star-Lord's antics, but she had to admit that the latter's actions did distract her from the tension. Perhaps she should take advantage of this moment to relax and forget about Thanos for now.
The influence of the Awesome Mix was very powerful. Except for Star-Lord, everyone else was more or less affected. First, Mantis and Drax. One was simple-minded, and the other was slightly dazed, pursuing their true feelings in their actions. Hearing good songs, they also started swaying.
Then there were Rocket and Groot. Although Rocket often bickered with Star-Lord, he would not question Star-Lord's mother's taste. He also liked these songs very much, and Groot felt similarly.
With his partners all getting hyped up, Gamora, who was originally preoccupied, was also infected by the melody and the surrounding partners. She also sat in her position and started tapping her feet to the rhythm, and the amplitude became larger and larger. In the end, she even closed her eyes and hummed along like Star-Lord.
The interior of the spaceship was filled with joy for a time, until…
"Bang!"
"What the..." Star-Lord was almost thrown out. He opened his eyes and was about to curse Rocket's driving skills when he was immediately stunned by the scene before him.
Not only him, but the other Guardians of the Galaxy were also the same. The scene before them was truly terrifying.
Outside the window of the Benatar, three people were standing in front of them. Gamora was extremely familiar with these three. The one in the lead was none other than her father, Thanos.
"Father…" A flash of fear flickered in Gamora's eyes. Star-Lord first glanced at Gamora, who had become self-enclosed again, and then looked at Thanos with a displeased expression.
Drax looked furious, as if he couldn't wait to draw his weapon and rush into outer space to fight Thanos. Rocket and Groot showed vigilant and curious expressions respectively. Mantis was a little at a loss, not knowing what expression she should put on.
Thanos looked at his daughter, who was only separated from him by a glass, and a trace of tenderness that no one could detect flashed in his eyes. Then, he raised his left hand wearing the Infinity Gauntlet.
A dazzling blue light bloomed, and in the next second, Thanos and Corvus Glaive behind him disappeared from Star-Lord and the others' sight.
"Where did he go?" A moment of panic appeared on Star-Lord's face. "And that thing is the Power Stone? Isn't that thing on Xandar?"
"Obviously, my father used some means to get it." Gamora's expression was complicated. Suddenly, her body trembled because a hand was placed on her shoulder.
If it were an ordinary person making such a sudden attack, Gamora would be able to remove the hand on her shoulder in the next second, but the owner of this hand made her unable to resist.
"My dear daughter, I am very pleased that you can understand me so well." Thanos gently stroked Gamora's shoulder, looking like a father encouraging his daughter.
The suddenly remembered unfamiliar sound startled everyone present. Star-Lord drew his dual guns, Drax drew his pair of daggers, Rocket had already placed his hand on the trigger, Groot's arms also turned into a hammer, and Mantis also raised her hands in a show of bravado.
"Let go of her, you Sunlight Beach!" Star-Lord stared at Thanos seriously, his tone without a hint of joking. It was rare to see him so serious.
Corvus Glaive behind Thanos knew that Star-Lord must have said something bad when he heard Star-Lord's tone. He raised his war blade to teach him a lesson, but was stopped by Thanos raising his hand.
"You have a good group of partners, daughter." Thanos was still as kind as an old father. If you ignored Gamora's expression, this would definitely be a heartwarming scene.
"Let them go." Gamora pleaded in a low voice, but this tone made Star-Lord, who was already concerned, even more annoyed. When had he ever seen Gamora like this?
"I said, let go of her!" Star-Lord said, gritting his teeth. However, Thanos completely ignored him and ignored Star-Lord again.
"You know, I didn't originally want to interfere in your little game." Thanos stroked Gamora's head. "But I have important things to accomplish, and this requires your help."
Gamora knew he was talking about the Infinity Stones, and she also knew that Thanos must not be allowed to get that thing, so she gritted her teeth and said her first answer.
"I don't know."
Thanos's hand paused, and he said with a helpless expression, "Then it seems I have to use some special means."
"I told you to let go, Purple Sweet Potato!"
Thanos's monologue had long angered Star-Lord. The reason he hadn't taken action was because he was afraid of accidentally hurting Gamora, but when he heard Thanos say he was going to use special means, he couldn't care so much about Gamora anymore, and immediately pulled the trigger.
Brilliant element energy spewed out from the gun muzzle, turning into bullet after bullet and flying towards Thanos's head. As the top gunslinger in the universe, Star-Lord would never miss at this distance. From the moment he fired, he knew he would definitely hit the target.
But that was for other people, not for Thanos.
Thanos just raised his left hand. The gauntlet forged by the Dwarf King, even without storing the Infinity Stones, was a peerless divine weapon, easily crushing the aggressive element bullets. However, this was just the beginning.
The bullet left the gun muzzle, and the battle was on the verge of eruption.
Under Star-Lord's bold words, the Benatar once again carried the Guardians of the Galaxy on their journey.
