Chapter 385: Negotiate Conditions with the Soul Gem
Dead things that are not wise are difficult to deal with.
As long as there is wisdom, you can talk.
Infinity Stones is no exception.
What's more, Oakes brought three Infinity Stones and a dimensional space to negotiate terms with the Soul Gems.
If it doesn't want to meet, it's a big deal to let the Emerald Dream swallow the star of Vormir.
The soul gem may not be swallowed together, but it can't have no effect on it at all, right?
If it materializes, it can just take people away.
Then, under an orange sky, he saw his alter self.
"It's rude to talk to me in my own way."
After Oakes finished speaking, he saw himself on the other side pull down his face.
It's polite to press down the entire dimensional space!
The Soul Gem felt that it had been a long time since a soul had been able to give him such strange emotions.
The soul on the other side was very strong, far beyond the vast majority of naturally born souls.
But that's just it, you can't let it be afraid, because this guy's soul is definitely not something he can control......
The soul of all life in this universe, it can control it, but only this one in front of it can't, what is the reason?
Moreover, the dimensional space above the head makes it feel very strange, and it is actually related to the soul realm!
"You, very special...... You can force me to show up in this way, so what do you want to talk about? β
The Soul Gem spoke, and although it had some intelligence, it was not a real life, and in Oaks' eyes, it was a bit like AI.
"Let's discuss, I need to use soul gems this time, so I can exchange a soul of an Eternal, is it possible?"
Oakes didn't talk nonsense, and directly made a condition that he should sacrifice to some cherished person, which was impossible.
ββ¦β¦β
The soul gem was silent, and only after a while did he slowly shake his head:
"Eternals? The mass-produced life created by the Celestial Group, not only do you not abide by the rules I set, but you also want to replace it with this inferior product, of course not. β
"Inferior ......"
Oakes was a little speechless, and Ikalis didn't know how he would feel if he knew that he was being evaluated like this by the Soul Gem.
"In my perception, the souls of the Eternals are much more powerful than ordinary humans, after all, they have lived thousands of years.
But why do you have to let someone sacrifice the soul of someone you love in order to show up? What's in it for you? β
If Oaks guessed correctly, this space should be the soul space inside the soul gem.
The souls that have been "destroyed" by the soul gem should all be stored in this space, which has to be said to be very similar to the Jade Dream.
It's just that the Jade Dream Realm doesn't have the ability to take the initiative to capture people's souls, it can only support dreams.
"The soul is the miracle of life - any individual who has life has a soul, and the difference is only whether it is strong or weak, and whether it can form a clear consciousness.
This point, perhaps you who are proficient in life force, will feel very deeply. β
The Soul Gem didn't play tricks, and what it said made Oakes nod silentlyβ
Druids draw their power from all things in nature, and the statement that "all things are animist" is not nonsense.
For the inanimate natural elements, conform to the laws of their existence;
For animals and plants that have life, it is in line with their spiritual soul.
"I, the soul gem, am actually the entrance to this soul space, and I have the ability to ingest and manipulate souls, whether I live or die-
So I have an extraordinary desire for the soul to shine. β
After a pause, a deep evil smile appeared on the face of the Oakes image transformed by the soul gem:
"The soul is the miracle of life, and love is the miracle of the soulβ
There are only two souls of intense soul disturbances, whether it is the sorrow and anger of the sacrificer, or the fear, unwillingness, or open-mindedness of the sacrificedβ
This is enough to please me, the most brilliant light of the soul! β
ββ¦β¦β
Oakes was silent.
The Soul Gem is known as the most dangerous Infinity Stone.
It has a hungry soul in itself, and what this soul longs for is simply incomprehensible!
"So ......"
After thinking for a while, Oakes looked at the image in front of him that was exactly the same as himself, and slowly spoke:
"Is there a requirement for the soul to be sacrificed?"
ββ¦β¦ At least a complete intelligent life soul. β
The soul gem slowly put away the evil smile and became expressionless again:
"It's not okay to sacrifice your favorite pet cat or dog or something."
ββ¦β¦β
Your own pets are very smart!
No, I didn't want to sacrifice my pet at all!
"So how about that?"
Oakes thought for a moment and pointed to himself:
"I sacrifice a part of my own soul......"
"That's a sacrifice, not a sacrifice to a cherished person!"
"Nonsense, my favorite thing is, of course, myself!"
"You ......"
The corners of the eyes of the Oaks image transformed by the soul gem twitched violently, this guy said this, he was completely provoking it!
"What you cherish is life, whether it is your own or someone else's, and this is the basis for what you have achieved in the field of life!"
The Soul Gem finally couldn't help it, and it pointed at Oaks's head and roared loudly:
"As long as it's not your enemy, even if it's an ordinary person who has nothing to do with you, you will grieve for his sacrifice here, and there is no guy in the entire universe who can easily get soul gems like you!"
The roar fell, and there was an incomparable silence in the soul space.
"You...... Say what? β
After a while, Oakes' somewhat confused eyes refocused.
"You say ......"
"As long as they are not your enemies, everyone can be your cherished person."
The Soul Gem repeated this shocking statement again:
"At least...... My observations of yours are correct! β
ββ¦β¦β
Oakes was silent again.
After a long time, he smiled helplessly:
"Hey...... Don't impose on me the 'God loves the world,' it's impossible. β
Whether it was like this in his subconscious, or whether he misjudged the soul gem because of the particularity of the nature of his soul and ability, Oakes couldn't believe that his spiritual realm could be so high.
Moreover, if this nasty soul gem took the initiative to ask for part of his soul, Oakes would not be surprised.
What is this now?
"You can even merge with the will of the world, what's impossible."
The soul gem still insists on its own opinion, it is a soul gem, how can this kind of thing be misjudged!
"Well, even if what you say is true, then it is impossible for me to find an innocent person to do any so-called sacrifice!"
Oakes looked at this image that was exactly the same as himself, and suddenly felt a little strange:
"Speaking of which, this 'soul-for-soul' sacrificial ritual is a trick you made to satisfy your bad hobby, and your fundamental purpose is to witness the love-hate entanglement between souls......"
Haven't you ever seen a love movie about life and death?
"So that means if I skip the sacrifice step and just let you feel the pleasure, right?"
ββ¦β¦β
This time it was the soul gem's turn to be silent.
"Poor performances are useless, I need real, the pleasure of entanglement and separation between souls!"
"So ......"
Oakes touched his chin and smiled meaningfully:
"You...... Ever dreamed? β
Soul Gem: "? β
Vormir Star, the Red Skull watched as the Emerald Rift suddenly accelerated its decline, directly swallowing the entire Soul Altar!
In the Emerald Dream Realm, there are nightmare projections left by all the original dream dimensions, and new dreams that are now generated all the time-
There are sweet dreams, there are nightmares, everything goes with the flow.
Dreams are undoubtedly very closely related to the soul -
There is a theory that dreams are when the soul connects with the self in the parallel universe and experiences what the self in the parallel universe is experiencing.
Therefore, everything in the dream, although many of them are easy to forget, but also a considerable part of them are unforgettable.
It's like experiencing it yourself.
The Emerald Dream enveloped the Soul Altar.
Oakes picked the deepest, clearest, and most gorgeous dreams of love and loss in the Emerald Dream and showed them to the soul gem at zero distance!
This is something that has never happened since the beginning of the universe.
The soul gem could never have imagined that just to avoid the sacrifice of even an ordinary person, this guy in front of him would actually do it to such an extent......
However, it has to be said that the soul that has been hungry and thirsty since the birth of the soul gem has been comforted.
Countless brilliant and genuine soul lights brought it an incomparable sense of pleasure and satisfied its long-held desires!
As the gatekeeper and guide of the soul gem, Red Skull discovered the changes in the soul gem for the first time.
"The Sword Comes"
When the Soul Gem recognizes a person, he, as the gatekeeper and guide, has no need to continue to exist.
Looking at his dissipating body, Red Skull seemed to remember what Oakes had said to him when he first arrived.
"I wanted to rule that planet...... How ignorant ......"
The emerald rift slowly dissipated, and the power of the dream left the planet at the center of the celestial body.
And when Oakes slowly woke up, he found himself lying in shallow water.
The gloomy sky shone with a wisp of orange light, and the same glow emanated from between his fingers.
"Finally got ...... Soul Gems! β
Oakes looked at the infinity stone that glowed orange in his hand, and actually vaguely sensed its effect.
As it said, it ingests and manipulates souls, but other than that, Oakes vaguely feels that it seems that he can escape into that soul space again through soul gems!
"This ...... This is the benefit of the Six Jewels Infinity Gauntlet snapping your fingers......"
Could it be that the Soul Gem was crippled by Oakes' dream and gave him such a benefit?
"Tsk...... There is time to study, now ......"
"Ding!"
"Laha ......"
The soul gem was set in the groove of the little finger, and Oaks clearly felt the pressure of the four-colored current.
"It's still ...... So as soon as possible! β
A blue glow lit up, and Oakes disappeared into the star of Vormeer.
