Actually, in Gamora's heart, let alone the invincible Titan Thanos, she didn't even think Adam could defeat his Black Order.
Black Dwarf, possessing super strength, super defense, and being the most valiant warrior in the Universe.
Ebony Maw, with super high intelligence, vast knowledge, and terrifying mental control abilities, capable of easily twisting even a spaceship.
Corvus Glaive, possessing super strength and body regeneration, and formidable close-combat skills, especially with his spear, which can pierce through most of the defense-renowned metals in the Universe.
Proxima Midnight, a master of combat in the Universe, wielding a divine spear bestowed by Thanos, which, when thrown, transforms into three rays that lock onto a target and can kill most living beings.
Supergiant, possessing abilities such as mind control, telepathy, mental transfer, and memory theft; anyone with a slightly wavering will would become her puppet.
Thanos massacred so many Planets, leaving half of the people on each, so it's easy to imagine how many blood feuds he has in the Universe.
Yet, to this day, all who sought revenge on Thanos were slain by the Black Order before they even had a second glance at him.
This is also why she never dared to seek revenge on her adoptive father, Thanos; she had seen too many failed Avengers.
She even felt it was impossible for her to kill Thanos in this life, so she might as well find a way to get more money, then flee far away, to a place where Thanos couldn't find her to live.
"You don't need to worry about that. You just need to answer: are you in or out?"
Adam waved his hand.
Gamora thought for a moment and asked:
"If I don't do it, what will you do to us?"
Before Adam could answer, Star-Lord immediately stepped forward and winked at Gamora.
"Gamora, you have to believe in Mr. Adam's strength; he can definitely help you take down Thanos."
As he spoke, he turned his back to Adam and secretly made a throat-slitting gesture.
Setting aside whether Adam could defeat Thanos, his ability to instantly destroy an entire asteroid belt made killing Gamora too easy.
He didn't want Gamora, the woman he fell in love with at first sight, to die here like this.
"Alright, we'll do it!"
Seeing Star-Lord's gesture, Gamora immediately understood what her fate would be if she didn't agree.
Nebula saw that Gamora had made a decision for her and was about to get angry when Gamora grabbed her arm, gesturing for her to look to the right.
And there, Drax, covered in blood, was walking blankly towards them.
Clearly, at this moment, Ronan should already be dead.
Seeing this, Nebula stopped talking and nodded, indicating her agreement to help Adam with Gamora.
"Very good, now that everyone is here, why don't we give our team a name?
What do you think is a good name?"
Adam suggested, his eyes twinkling, as he saw Drax had also returned.
Star-Lord immediately became interested:
"I'm best at naming things. I think'Star'..."
"Let's call it the Guardians of the Galaxy. Alright, it's decided!"
Before Star-Lord could finish his proposed name, Adam had already decided on the name for their small team.
Everyone was speechless upon hearing this. So, he had already thought of it himself; why ask them then?
"Why that name?"
Star-Lord looked unhappy.
Adam smiled:
"Because what we're going to do next is save the Milky Way Galaxy!"
"Save the Milky Way Galaxy?"
Everyone looked bewildered.
Half an hour later, Adam explained the general situation.
"My father is actually a Planet? This... this can't be true, can it?"
After listening, Star-Lord was completely stunned.
Adam picked up the tea he had conjured earlier, took a sip, and replied:
"If you don't believe it, when we go to Morag, we'll be looking for Yondu to ask for the location of Ego Planet. You can verify it with him."
"So, Yondu kept me not because my small body could get into places they couldn't to steal things, but because he didn't want me to be killed by my father!"
Star-Lord suddenly had a realization as he thought about his past twenty years of life.
If it was truly because his body was small and could steal things from certain places, why would Yondu keep him after he grew up? Why would he teach him various skills, and give him weapons and a spaceship?
If he wanted to now, he could completely leave Yondu, fly his spaceship back to Earth. Yondu never restricted his freedom.
Before, he was blinded, but now that the leaf was removed, everything became clear.
Upon closer thought, although Yondu was strict with him, he actually protected him everywhere, not letting him be bullied among those cruel Raiders.
No matter how much trouble he caused, Yondu never killed him.
"Actually, Yondu is more like your father, isn't he?"
Adam sighed at the sight.
Yondu was sold into slavery by his parents as an infant, and later became a prisoner of war in the Kree Empire for twenty years until he was rescued by the leader of the Raiders and taken under his wing.
However, at that time, Yondu was too eager to prove his worth and broke one of the Raiders' most inviolable rules: not to traffic children.
He was entrusted by Ego with a high-priced commission to bring Ego's children back from various Planets.
Consequently, he was discovered by the Raiders' leader and expelled from the Raiders team.
It wasn't until one day, when he discovered that Ego had killed all the children he sent, that he realized he had made a grave mistake.
So, he kept the last child, who was Star-Lord, and raised him as his own.
The reason Ego did that was because he had planted his seeds on various life-sustaining Planets. With enough power, he could make those seeds sprout and turn all Planets into his avatars.
By then, Ego would be the most powerful life form in the entire Universe, a true Celestial.
But unfortunately, he couldn't make the seeds sprout with his own power.
So, he hybridized with various intelligent life forms across the Universe, hoping to produce children who inherited his power, so that with their combined strength, he could achieve his ambition.
Regrettably, none of the children Yondu sent inherited his Celestial-like power.
This made him very angry.
Finally, except for Mantis, who could put him to sleep, all the other children were brutally killed and buried inside the Planet.
What he didn't know was that Star-Lord, the only child Yondu didn't send, was actually the one who inherited his power.
"If that's really true, even without that one hundred million, I would kill her! He actually killed my mother!"
Finally, Star-Lord said through gritted teeth.
He thought his mother died of cancer, but he never expected that this cancer was actually Ego's doing.
The reason was that Ego had fallen in love with his mother and feared that if she continued to live, it would shake his beliefs and keep him on Earth forever.
