Why did Pietro read Gamora's memory at the last moment?
Mainly because his life level is very high. Due to magic, he, Wanda, and Bella have been comprehensively strengthened.
So even though he likes to play with physical skills like Speed Force with Thor and others, his accomplishments in mental powers are also quite impressive. Or rather, as the soul is continuously strengthened, it naturally branches out into some soul-related abilities.
Mental power is one of them, along with telekinesis and so on.
Pietro did not specifically study mental powers but did dabble in them a bit. After all, under the subtle influence of his family, stability is key to the Bi Xiao family.
He learned some skills in protecting the soul and mind.
However, abilities like memory reading were not his specialty. Yet, the huge disparity in level between him and Gamora, coupled with the intense unwillingness and hatred not directed at him from Gamora at the last moment, made Pietro instinctively read her memory.
From Gamora's memory, he learned that this woman was not Thanos's biological daughter.
She was the sole survivor of an alien race called the Zen-Whoberi, a peace-loving race that lived a blissful and serene life. However, one day Thanos's fleet descended from the sky and slaughtered half of the Zen-Whoberi, including her parents.
Thanos took a liking to the innocent Gamora and took her away.
However, the remaining population did not escape extinction. Gamora has always suspected Thanos of wiping them out, though she has been investigating the truth. In her heart, she firmly believes it was Thanos.
Many times she wanted to confront Thanos but never did.
She endured, hoping one day to break free from Thanos and find a way to avenge him. She met Nebula, who was also adopted by Thanos, and since then, their relationship has been very tense.
Under Thanos's special training, both Gamora and Nebula grew into excellent warriors.
Nebula, who originally had flesh and blood, was transformed by Thanos due to his cruel training methods that advocated survival of the fittest and competition.
In these competitions, whoever was the weaker one would have a part of their body modified by Thanos.
Gamora was so excellent that Nebula never won against her, leading to Nebula being transformed into a half-mechanical, half-biological life form. Nebula harbors a deep resentment and unwillingness towards Gamora for this, being punished by their father, Thanos.
Yes, Nebula is brainwashed to the point of maintaining loyalty to Thanos despite being constantly modified.
It's a unique bond.
This memory left Pietro in shock, lamenting Thanos's cruelty and perverse nature.
In short, both Gamora and Nebula are pitiful people taken and trained by Thanos. Their families were slaughtered, and under his unique training, their hands are also stained with blood, making them notorious in the universe.
The victims became the villains.
Pietro frowned.
Looking at the two women, he originally intended to mercilessly eliminate them. He despised the idea of using them to threaten or distract Thanos.
From the information purchased from Sibba, Pietro believed that Thanos, the cruel and despicable individual, only saw the two women as tools.
Affection?
How could someone like that have feelings?
But now, Pietro realized this woman seemed to be involuntarily involved. After all, a weak person taken by a stronger one, what could she do but silently endure?
She even bore deep hatred towards Thanos, planning to seek revenge one day.
This made Pietro personally reluctant to kill them.
After some thought, Pietro decided to hand the two women over to Thor and Loki for judgment. Whether they were killed or imprisoned was not his concern.
He thought about releasing them, but considering the innocent lives they had taken, his conscience wouldn't allow it.
So he chose to pass the buck.
Having made this decision, Pietro no longer paid attention to the two women, his gaze shifting to the culprit, Thanos. That despicable and cruel man made Pietro's fists itch with anticipation.
Gamora felt puzzled. This powerful man seemed to have no intention of killing them.
Though she couldn't understand the reason, she put away her guns and went to the broken Nebula. As a half-mechanical life form, Nebula wasn't harmed by Pietro's kick, unlike an ordinary person who would have been destroyed.
Gamora, experienced, reassembled Nebula's broken body. Although some parts were kicked apart, Nebula's self-repair functions would activate as long as certain parts were connected.
Otherwise, during missions, any damaged parts would leave her paralyzed.
Thanos's technology was very advanced, enabling these biological modifications.
Gamora sat in front of Nebula, who glanced at Pietro's back and then at Gamora, her fingers twitching, indicating a desire to attack.
However, Gamora's warning gaze made her abandon the idea, glaring at Gamora silently.
Her feelings for Gamora were very complex. Despite the situation, Nebula maintained basic judgment, knowing that her father, Thanos, was in battle.
On such a battlefield, she and Gamora were like small fries.
That white-haired brat was too strong, leaving them no chance of victory, so it was better to stay put. Besides, she had sent a distress signal to the fleet, believing reinforcements would arrive soon.
She hoped the fleet's bombardment would cover their escape.
As for Thanos, she had faith in her father's strength.
