Chapter 492 Soul Gem(1/2)
The crisis facing the earth is not a big deal in the universe.
Anyway, the Kree are so virtuous. If they don't destroy a few planets for a period of time, it will be considered a major event in the universe worth celebrating.
The gathering of the Kree fleet was just a casual chat in various taverns. The talker expressed sympathy for the earth, and then asked where the planet was in the corner. Before he could find out, he drank and fell unconscious.
During the time when the Kree fleet gathered and headed for Earth, the universe was still as dull as before. Only Lothrik stopped the expedition and prepared to return reinforcements.
But this has nothing to do with other people, just sing and dance.
Deep in the universe, two retro sailing ships are sailing in an unknown place.
Those are the Jackdaw and the Black Pearl, and Greedy and Laura are looking for the location of the Soul Stone.
"There once was a ship that put to sea,The name of that ship was the Billy o' Tea,The winds blew up her bow dipped down,Blow my bully boys blow..."
On the Black Pearl, the greedy man wore a triangular pirate hat, hummed a song, and turned the rudder from time to time. It was as comfortable as he wanted.
Hela walked out of the cabin, and behind her was Fenrir, who was a little trembling and frightened.
Touching Fenrir's wolf head, Hela waited for Greedy to finish singing the entire song before asking: "What have you done recently to scare Fenrir? He has been avoiding you."
The Greedy Man hit the rudder, causing the Black Pearl to somersault around the Jackdaw. Laura on the Jackdaw couldn't help but distance herself from the Black Pearl.
Greedy held the rudder and said: "On this ship, I saw a dog, and I couldn't help but think about how to make a dog pull two-thirds of the weight of Xiang!"
After Hela heard this, she frowned and moved Fenrir further away from the Greedy Man, saying: "Fenrir is a wolf! Not a dog! Besides, how can there be a creature that can pull out so many **?"
Not even dirt!"
Greedy said: "Who knows? Anyway, according to a woman, a three-pound teacup dog can pull out two pounds of vagina! Maybe Fenrir can do it too!"
Hela didn't want to discuss this issue with Geralt anymore. She came to the old demon king holding a sledgehammer on the bow of the ship, and combined with the old demon king's power to guide the direction of the ship.
Now that it is confirmed that Odin obtained the power of the Soul Stone and built the Hall of Valor to cope with Ragnarok, Hela once took charge of the Hall of Valor, through which he could vaguely feel the location of the Soul Stone.
But this power of perception is too subtle, and the greedy man has to rely on the power of the old demon king to help Hela guide the direction.
As a life born from the chaos of Izalis, the demonic essence of the Black Soul World is the fire born from the soul.
The witches tried to create the 'primordial fire' but twisted demons were born from the chaos.
Hela had received the first fire given by the fire-proof woman, which gave her soul the characteristics of fire. This also allowed the devil to amplify Hela's perception from the soul and the flame.
In this way, under the guidance of Hela and the old Demon King, the two exploration ships stopped at various deserted planets, and then followed the guidance of the soul to the planet Vormir where the soul gem was hidden.
Vormir is hidden in a dust nebula, and the dust throughout the nebula blocks detection from the outside world.
But after getting closer, Hela directly pointed out a safe passage for the spacecraft in this nebula.
The spacecraft stayed above the star Vormir. The entire planet was an endless plain ocean. Only the light refracted by the dust fortunately illuminated the planet vaguely.
Looking at the only piece of land on the ocean planet, Hela said a little doubtfully: "I have never been here, but I feel something calling me below?"
"You're all here, let's go down and have a look!"
Greedy didn't hesitate at all, he took the lead in driving the spaceship and landed on that piece of land.
On the land of rugged rocks, there is only a peak in the middle, which points the direction for everyone who comes.
'There is almost no soil, maybe so that people can fall to death directly? But let the Hulk come, can you carry it with your body?'
The greedy man maliciously speculated on the cause of the formation of the landform, and a dementor-like guy wearing a black robe slowly floated out from the cracks in the rocks.
That was the Red Skull transported by the Cosmic Cube. He became the spokesperson of the Soul Gem, and as a guide, guided the visitors to complete the sacrifice.
"Hela Odinson, the daughter of Odin! Lara Croft, the daughter of Richard Crawford..."
The Red Skull, who was saying weird things, was about to point out the origins of everyone one by one. But when he saw the old demon king holding a sledgehammer next to him, he couldn't see clearly where this guy came from.
In his eyes, this life, which was like a burning stone, could only see boundless flames, and the figure in black robe holding a long wand to maintain the flames.
Just as he was about to look further, Red Skull's eyes suddenly burned. He covered his eyes in pain and fell directly to the ground.
After living on this planet for so many years, Red Skull finally waited for the opportunity to pretend to be an outsider, but why did he encounter such a strange person from other worlds?
A hand stretched out from the side, helped the Red Skull up, and handed over a bottle of water.
"Give you water, maybe it can alleviate the pain a little bit..."
The Red Skull took it and poured water into his eyes like crazy.
After finally recovering, the Red Skull was about to say thank you when he saw the enemy he still remembered.
"Steve?son of the beach!"
The person in front of him is the enemy who destroyed his empire in the first place, that pervert in tights!
Seeing Red Skull's reaction, Greedy nodded with satisfaction. After seeing Smurfette Nebula recording the scene clearly, he took off his disguise.
Red Skull couldn't clearly see the identity of the Greedy Man. Even when he had just had the desire to investigate, he was interrupted by the inexplicable fear deep in his soul.
In this case, Red Skull did not insist anymore. He gave way to the passage behind him and said: "The soul gem is waiting for you..."
Looking at the Red Skull leading the way, Laura asked curiously: "Is it waiting? Is the soul gem conscious?"
The greedy man yawned and said: "Anyone who stays on a deserted planet for decades will pretend to be inscrutable!"
Hearing this, the Red Skull's feet froze, and the originally floating appearance seemed to be frozen in the air, and even the constantly fluttering cloak became still.
The Greedy Man passed the Red Skull and strode directly up.
On the top of the mountain, on a small cliff, two tall stone walls were like portals, pointing out the location for everyone.
Here you can see the stars in the universe casting cold and warm light on the planet through the dust. The endless ocean has no waves, reflecting the starry sky like a mirror.
The Red Skull floated up from behind, turned around and said to everyone: "You all should know that the cost of obtaining gems is extremely high!"
"I know, I know!"
Greedy interrupted Red Skull, walked over first, passed through the bright stone wall, and stood next to the cliff.
The words were held in his mouth, saying it was not true, and it was not true if he didn't say it. Red Skull's constipated expression made others avoid him.
Everyone stood in a row beside the cliff. Only the greedy ones threw stones at the bottom of the cliff and relied on counting to determine the height.
When standing on the cliff, everything below is obscured by thick fog, and even if you throw a stone, you won't hear a sound.
Just when Greedy put a leash on Fenrir and prepared to rely on Fenrir to explore the heights, Red Skull couldn't bear it any longer.
Red Skull said: "Among the Infinity Stones, the Soul Stone is very special. It has a certain degree of wisdom. In order to ensure that the person who owns it understands its power, the Soul Stone needs to be sacrificed!"
When they heard about the sacrifice, the people around them cast curious glances.
Hela asked: "What needs to be sacrificed?"
"Love! Sacrifice what you cherish. Exchange a soul for the soul gem!"
The words of the Red Skull made everyone feel aversion to this sacrifice, and they all took a few steps back to distance themselves from the cliff.
Hela had questions at this time. If she wanted to sacrifice her beloved, how did Odin obtain the gem in the first place?
Hela asked: "Did Odin get the gem? Who did he sacrifice?"
Red Skull temporarily lost his mind, like a robot searching for ancient information.
A moment later, the Red Skull said: "Odin, the King of Asgard. He sacrificed his lover, a mortal woman named Linda! Then he used the power of gems to build a place for soul retention, and then gave up.
I got the gem and regained my love.”
The Red Skull's words added another chapter to Odin's dark history after his death.
However, before Hela could react, Greed pinched the Red Skull's neck and lifted him to the edge of the cliff.
Under the cliff was a thick fog that could not be seen to the bottom. Greedy said with an affectionate face: "Goodbye! My love! Ugh! So disgusting!"
After saying that, Greedy let go of his hand, and Red Skull fell off the cliff.
But before the Red Skull was out of sight, he flew up again and looked at Greedy with an expressionless face.
Red Skull looked at everyone, his eyes lingering on everyone.
When he saw Laura, he said: "What is in you is appreciation, a desire and yearning for adventure."
Seeing Smurfette, he said, "I feel pity for you, a kind of care and love."
When looking past Ross and Jonah, Red Skull said impatiently: "Insignificant passers-by!"
Finally, the Red Skull focused his attention on Hela and said, "Desire and admiration..."
Before he finished speaking, the Red Skull was burning from the inside out. But at this moment, he no longer suffered the same pain as before. In the flames, the Red Skull did not resist or struggle at all, and just looked at the greedy man.
Red Skull's voice was devoid of emotion as he said: "This is your mood and the feedback from your soul. Although you hide it well, these are the rules set by the soul gem. If you want the gem, you can only abide by it.
"
Greed's face was a little ugly, and he stared at Red Skull as if he wanted to kill him.
However, Hela stood up at this moment.
Hela stood upright in front of Greedy Man, staring into his eyes, but Greedy Man did not want to look directly at Hela and avoided eye contact.
Hela stretched out her hand and grabbed Greedy's chin, like a queen, pinching Greedy's chin with two fingers, as if teasing him.
"Thank you for lighting me up in the dark..."
