"I..."

The Soul Gem stared at the majestic figure in front of him.

"I've been... Is it yours? ”

Somehow, she had a feeling she hadn't felt before, and she could feel... My body has changed...

The breath in his body is no longer pure, and he has assimilated towards the man in front of him.

But she was very confused, she didn't understand why, her previous memories... Still in my head...

She knew that she was the core of infinity and knew where she came from, and this was what made the Soul Gem different and the reason for her self-contradictions.

"Yes." Ivan looked at the gem and said only these two words.

"Obviously... Without a soul sacrifice, I can't be used... This... This is the rule set by the goddess of death..."

"It's the rules you were set before." Ivan smiled faintly, "Now, I have changed you, and I have also reset the rules. ”

Yes, the soul gem after being infused with the soul can no longer be called a soul gem in the strict sense, but a psionic soul gem.

Although the effects of the infusion are random, they are also random in the direction of 'good for Ivan'.

This unfavorable rule also dissipates intangible.

Ivan noticed that the Soul Gem had mentioned the Nemesis before, and now it had mentioned the Goddess of Death, and the Red Skull had also mentioned the Goddess of Death, so what was the connection?

It's confusing.

Ivan asked before, and the answer of the soul gem was 'This is not something anyone should know', and he refused to answer on this ground, indicating that this thing, even if the person who obtains the soul gem, is not necessarily qualified to know.

But the current soul gem is different, she has been changed, unlike Thanos who obtained the right to use the soul gem, Ivan did not get the 'right to use', but 'ownership'.

Ownership: It is the right of the right holder to dispose of his property, possess, use, benefit and dispose of it according to his own wishes, and enjoy his interests, which is an absolute right.

Right of use: The right to use only.

So... Ivan has unlocked the heart of the Soul Gem, the Gem, which has become a part of Ivan.

Now, Ivan asked the unanswered question again.

"Before, you said the goddess of revenge, the core, and the goddess of death, I don't understand these very well, can you talk about it?" Ivan asked softly.

The Soul Gem's body shook slightly, and she sat down on the ground.

"In my... Before I met you... I'm part of Nemesis..."

"From the beginning, who is Nemesis?"

"It's a god who existed at the beginning of this universe... It's the original form of the Infinity Stones..."

"Wait... Infinity Stones, weren't they created through the Big Bang? ”

"You... Listen to whom? ”

"Collectors, and... Ivan smiled, "You have to call me master." ”

"This... This title... I, I gotta explain, I'm just a gem... It's not what you think you're human... It's a girl... I just..."

Ivan didn't speak, just looked at the soul gem with a smile.

Somehow, the Soul Gem felt as if there was a suffocating magic in Ivan's eyes... She hesitated for a moment...

"The host..."

"Actually, you can call it whatever you want, I'm just kidding."

Ivan took out Gao Tianzun's mechanical chair from the space gem and sat on it.

"Go on."

"Hmm... Master, what you have heard... It is both wrong and true. ”

The Soul Gem said.

"What collectors think of as the Big Bang is... The self-annihilation of the goddess of revenge, because she has lived too long, she has mastered all the rules of time, space, mind, power, etc... So tired of this world, after self-destruction, she split into... Seven jewels. ”

"Isn't it six?" Ivan raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, the Infinity Stones, counting me as 'six' in total, the seventh gem is not an Infinity Stone, but a stone that carries the full consciousness of the Nemesis... That gem is called the Ego Gem. ”

The Soul Gem said, "I am the core of the six Infinity Stones, because only I can connect with the Ego Gem, and when I place the Ego Gem near the six Infinity Stones, I can activate my soul power to summon the Nemesis at any time." ”

"I see, then... What is the use of summoning Nemesis? Ivan asked curiously.

The soul gem was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "I don't know, maybe she will grant you a wish!" ”

Hearing this, Ivan first thought... Now that all the Infinity Stones have been changed by me, can I still summon the Nemesis that the Soul Stones are talking about...

I'm afraid not... Even if you can summon it... That's probably too...

(?? _?) Psionic Nemesis!

"But... I know what the ego gem does..."said the soul gem.

"What does the ego gem do?"

"Yes... The Ego Gem itself stores the 'whole knowledge' that Nemesis knows, and that should be useful..."

The soul gem looked up at Ivan slightly: "And I know... The Self Gem is now in the Void, being collected by collectors! ”

"I see," Ivan smiled, "that guy really has a good treasure, in fact, I have already planned to go to his place, even if it is not a self gem, there must be other good things there!" ”

After that, Ivan asked the goddess of death from the mouth of the soul gem, and the soul gem said that she belonged to the goddess of death before this, including her own rules of use.

The Soul Gem's preference for devouring souls for food is her own attribute as a 'Dangerous Gem', but the rule that 'you must give your beloved soul' to obtain a Soul Gem is imposed by the Goddess of Death.

...

Originally, the goddess of death put the soul gem here, set up the concept of exchanging one soul for one soul, and predicted the distant future through some method... No matter who the gem goes through, Thanos will always come here to get the soul gem.

She is quite interested in Thanos as a person, and she doesn't want Thanos to be emotionally disturbed... This rule was set to make Thanos completely ruthless.

Guide Thanos to kill his daughter... It can lead him to the road of complete extermination.

What she never expected was that the long river of time had formed a strange change due to the intervention of spiritual energy.

Everything can be beyond calculation, even the predictions of the gods of the universe have become a joke.

The soul gem was not obtained by Thanos, but by a man named Ivan... And the attributes have also been changed! Break the rules!

After learning about the goddess of nemesis, the self gem... After these things of the goddess of death.

Ivan decided to go and have a look at the collector.

"Okay, we're done talking, let's go on our way?" Ivan got up, retracted his mechanical chair and held out his small hand to the soul gem.

"Huh?"

The Soul Gem was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

She curled up on her body, her entire body glowing with orange...

Then the bright light shrank at a rate visible to the naked eye...

Eventually, it condensed into a crystalline orange... It's covered with tiny blue spots... Infinite Gems!
