Chapter 3: The Soul Stone
On the balcony of the palace of Odin.
The god-king Odin was dying, and Luke was only a meter tall.
The two couldn't stand side by side.
Looking at the beautiful scenery and peaceful Asgard, after looking at it for a long time, Luke finally couldn't help it: "If you have something to say, say it quickly." ”
Odin offered to talk to him alone. But I stood for a long time, and I didn't wait for the next words.
Odin's single eye flashed with a glint that was hard to imagine was an old man who was thousands of years old. Odin's back was still straight, and his body was full of the majesty of the god king. Odin's power gives him infinite energy. He can live forever as long as he wants.
It's just that......
"Luke Stark." Odin spoke slowly.
"Don't call me that." Luke raised an eyebrow.
"Luke." Odin turned around, looked down at the small Luke in front of him, his expression was not happy or angry, and said lightly: "You are from outside this universe, and you are the biggest variable in this vast universe. I've been watching you since the first day you came. Excluding the external powers that you have, I don't see anything different about you. ”
"What the hell are you trying to say?"
"You were supposed to be a normal person. It's fate that makes you. Odin suddenly sighed: "Fate has made us all. We are all imprisoned in our own destiny, and we cannot break free even if we struggle hard. The Ancient One had seen her fate. And so do I. But...... We can't see your fate. ”
Luke fell silent.
He probably understood the meaning of Odin's words. The ancient one saw his fate and knew that his limit was approaching. The ancient one mastered the stone of time, and could know the past and the future, but he could not see the future after a certain period of time. The ancient one knew that it was her death. Cannot be reversed.
Odin can also see his future, or rather, a prophecy. Asgard is doomed to the end of Ragnarok. At that time, it will also be the day of Odin's deadline.
Luke somewhat understood what Odin was trying to tell him.
Nothing in the world is immortal. Immortality is just wishful thinking. Heavenly Fathers will not escape the last fate.
Unless it can reach eternity, death, annihilation, infinity, the kind of being that merges with the multiverse......
But in that case, the meaning of life is lost.
Luke shook his head, thinking that it was too far away. Let's listen to what Odin has to say to himself.
Odin stared at Luke with sharp eyes, and for a while, the sharpness in his eyes suddenly melted, and he sighed: "I know, you are collecting Infinity Stones." Are you ready? ”
"Ready for what?"
"Be prepared to sacrifice your most precious things."
Luke was stunned: "You mean the Soul Stone?" ”
"That's right." Odin raised his head and looked at the vast sky of Asgard, and some long-ago memories welled up in his heart: "This is what I fear the most. Infinity Stones, which I also collected in my early years. I also ordered the dwarves to create a pair of Infinity Gauntlets, which were once inlaid with five gems. ”
"Why five?" Luke asked, confused. There are six Infinity Stones.
And it is said that there is also a seventh Infinity Stone hidden in the universe, called the "Stone of Self".
Collect six Infinity Stones to gain the power to change the entire universe. Odin had collected Infinity Stones, and Luke wasn't surprised. The Infinity Gauntlet in Odin's Treasury is no indication that Odin is a model master. Each item in the treasury has a symbolic meaning. It's even true.
Asgard once possessed the Space Stone, the Cosmic Rubik's Cube. Later, he was sent to Earth by Odin and hid in Norway.
The Stone of Reality, the Aether, is hidden in some unknown dimension.
As for the other four Infinity Stones, they are not depicted in the movie as having anything to do with Odin. However, Luke had no doubt that Odin had collected them.
Hela once said that before Odin conquered the Nine Realms, he was not a good type. Odin's conquest of the Nine Realms has one purpose, and this purpose is by no means as pure as maintaining the security of the Nine Realms. Luke has reason to suspect that Odin's conquest of the Nine Realms is to collect the Infinity Stones.
Later, Odin conquered the Nine Realms as he wished, but his temperament changed dramatically, and he was unwilling to continue to invade other worlds.
In other words, Odin gave up on collecting Infinity Stones halfway through for some reason.
As things were going on, no one could stop Odin from achieving this. Odin was able to collect all six Infinity Stones with ease.
What made Odin change his mind?
Luke guesses it's the Soul Stone.
The Soul Stone is the most evil of the six Infinity Stones. To obtain the Soul Stone, you must sacrifice your most precious person to it.
There is no doubt that the person most cherished by Odin at that time was none other than his daughter Hela. He was Odin's only son at the time.
Odin must have learned about the situation before giving up collecting Infinity Stones. Because he didn't want to sacrifice his daughter.
However, Hela's ambitions did not allow Odin to stop conquering other worlds.
The entire universe that Hela wants to conquer! And this is probably Odin's original idea, which is the starting point of Odin's desire to collect the Infinity Stones.
In the end, just like the plot of "Thor 3", Odin had no choice but to seal Hela in the realm of the dead.
Odin became what Hela called a "hypocrite", the god-king and saint-king of Asgard.
Until the end of Odin comes.
After Odin's death, Hela came out of trouble, and the plot of Thor 3 was staged, and Thor could only launch Ragnarok in the end, and Asgard was destroyed in a sea of fire, everything was as prophesied.
Luke believed that Odin would not say this to him. When Odin mentioned the Soul Stone, he should have had something else in mind.
"If you want to get the Soul Stone, you have to sacrifice the one you love the most." Odin stared at Luke earnestly: "Who is the person you love the most, and are you really ready to sacrifice him, or her?" Collecting the Infinity Stones is a path that goes against the will of the universe. Play with time, and time will punish you. Play with the soul and you will lose the most precious thing. Are you ready? ”
"That's all you want to say?" Luke didn't care: "Actually...... I don't particularly want that soul stone, either. ”
"Then why are you collecting them?" Odin asked, confused.
"It's fun." Luke replied.
But apparently Odin was not satisfied with his answer. Odin shook his head: "The Infinity Stones are the most serious thing in the universe. It's hard for me to imagine how you can have collected three of them with such an attitude. ”
Luke suddenly realized that he had already collected half of it. No wonder Odin cares so much.
Calculate the time, in a few years, Dr. Ma Face will be born. It's not impossible to get the Time Stone from the Ancient One before him.
This time, it shouldn't be difficult to find the Stone of Strength with Casillas willing to help.
In this case, there is only the Soul Stone left.
I actually collected so much before Thanos? Do you want to snap your fingers first, just let Thanos braid, and then the Avengers 3 plot will not happen. And then everyone rejoices?
The idea suddenly became extremely appealing. Luke thought seriously with his chin in his hand. It's just that for the time being, he hasn't thought of any good way to get the soul stone.
