====Thanos on Vormir====
Thanos and Gamora arrived on Vormir through a portal created by the Space Stone. Thanos warned Gamora that Nebula would suffer if the Soul Stone was not where she claimed it would be. They proceeded to the top of a cliff, where the Soul Stone was rumored to be located.

At the cliff's summit, they encountered the [[Red Skull (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Red Skull]], the keeper of the Soul Stone. The Red Skull recognized Thanos as the son of A'Lars and Gamora as Thanos' daughter. He informed Thanos that obtaining the Soul Stone would require a significant sacrifice. Thanos, unfazed, declared that he was prepared to pay the price.

As the Red Skull led them to the top of a nearby cliff, Thanos asked how he knew so much about the Infinity Stones, to which the Red Skull explained that he had searched for the stones a lifetime ago and had even held the Tesseract in his hands. As the Red Skull continued his story, he simply explained that the Tesseract had banished him to Vormir to protect the Soul Stone before leading Thanos and Gamora to the end of the high mountain ledge.

The guardian of the Soul Stone explained to Thanos that obtaining the stone required the sacrifice of a loved one to ensure that whoever possessed the stone would understand its true power. Upon hearing this, Gamora mocked Thanos as heartless and uncaring, but Thanos, who truly loved Gamora like a daughter, shed tears at having to kill her.

Thinking back to Titan's fate, Thanos explained to Gamora that he could not ignore his destiny to seemingly save billions of lives a second time. Gamora was genuinely moved for a moment, but Thanos instead used the Reality Stone to turn her knife into bubbles as he tearfully apologized before grabbing Gamora by the wrist.

While Gamora tried to fight back, Thanos threw his beloved daughter off the cliff where she plummeted to her death. After committing this terrible act, Thanos looked sternly over the cliff and mourned Gamora's death, while a voice told him that his will was strong and his sacrifice had proven him worthy.  A light erupted and struck Thanos down, but when he awoke from a river, he had the Soul Stone in his hand and placed it in his Infinity Gauntlet, which granted Thanos greater power.
