Chapter 753 Transaction (Part )

After a period of silence, Thanos walked towards the two people without saying a word, but did not get close. Instead, he stayed in a position where the Soul Gem could work and the two people on the opposite side could not reach him.

Facing the approach of Thanos, Stephen didn't say anything. Instead, Sherlock, who was in soul form, felt like he was getting goose bumps on his soul.

Although he didn't know what had just happened, they were rivals who had fought to the death just now. Now they were shaking hands and making peace just because of a deal? Sherlock didn't believe it at all.

And the most important thing is, looking at the appearance of the two people, it is obvious that both of them should know about the iron chain on their chests. At least for Stephen, he should know very well what the iron chain on his chest is.

This feeling of facing the unknown made Sherlock feel particularly uncomfortable, but it was obvious that neither of the two people at the scene had any intention of paying attention to Sherlock, even though Sherlock's soul kept punching Stephen's head.

"Aren't you afraid that I will just snatch the Reality Stone and go to war with you?"

Thanos, who was standing not far from the two of them, waited for a while and did not receive any attack, so he asked. Even Sherlock's soul was fixed by magic by Stephen, who gave Sherlock a headache. Sherlock was so angry that he cursed Stephen as a traitor.

In response to Thanos' questions, Stephen just smiled and answered Thanos' questions seemingly perfunctorily.

"I believe in your character as the overlord of the universe."

"I can't promise what will happen after I pull out the chain!"

"I believe you!"

In response to Stephen's words, Thanos simply curled his lips. If he really believed that this answer was no different from flattery, then Thanos probably wouldn't have made it to this moment.

Yes, Thanos does not trust Stephen on the opposite side and Sherlock who is locked up by Stephen. Similarly, the two people on the opposite side certainly cannot completely trust themselves.

This is why Thanos did not ask for the Time Stone right away but instead said that he might want to seize the Reality Stone.

For Thanos, the content of this transaction was proposed by Stephen. No matter what his ultimate goal is, one thing is certain, he absolutely hopes that this transaction will go smoothly.

Therefore, putting the time gem that can reverse time in this guy's hands is undoubtedly an insurance for both himself and Sherlock.

Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that the two parties in this transaction are Sherlock and Thanos, and Stephen is more like a mediator, which is also the main reason why Thanos dared to approach.

As for Stephen's words, "You can give the Time Stone to Thanos in advance." In Thanos' mind, it is more like a token of loyalty, a guarantee of the extremely fragile trust between the three people.

In the brief exchanges between the two, it can be said that each of them had eight hundred hidden thoughts. As for Sherlock, well, Sherlock, who did not understand the implicit meaning in their conversation at all, owed them two hundred thoughts.

But this is not Sherlock's fault. Sherlock, who had just been forced to wake up, had no idea what had just happened. And for Sherlock, although he admired the other party's toughness, he would never believe in the character of this notorious man.

Therefore, for Sherlock, Stephen's deal was obviously like inviting a hungry beast into the house to sleep, which was a completely suicidal act.

But it is obvious that Sherlock, who was immobilized, had no right to speak at this time, and neither Thanos, who had just been at the gate of hell, nor Stephen, who had seen the whole ending, wanted to listen to Sherlock's speech.

After getting Stephen's assurance, Thanos did not waste any time and immediately raised the big hand wearing the Infinity Gauntlet. The orange light on the glove began to gradually become dazzling.

As Thanos moved, Sherlock was surprised to find that the barely detectable orange-yellow threads on the chains on his chest gradually began to thicken under the power of the Soul Stone, and finally completely wrapped around the chains on Sherlock's chest, making it look as if they were integrated into one.

This orange-yellow line, which is as thick as a baby's fist and integrated with the chain, extends from Sherlock's soul and passes through Sherlock's physical chest. The other end is firmly held in Thanos' hand.

The whole picture looks as if Sherlock suddenly turned into a dog on a leash in Thanos's hand.

However, before Sherlock could open his mouth to complain, Thanos suddenly began to tighten the light in his hand that was constructed by the power of the Soul Gem, and Sherlock's soul body also felt a sudden huge force coming from his chest.

Because of this huge force, Sherlock's soul staggered forward uncontrollably, but soon because of Stephen's magic, Sherlock's soul was fixed again.

In an instant, the huge force in his chest gradually turned into severe pain, and even Sherlock himself couldn't bear it and began to scream.

Neither of the two people present stopped their actions because of Sherlock's screams. Stephen's eyes were fixed on Sherlock's soul, and Thanos was also gradually gathering the light in his hand.

As time passed, the severe pain in the chest soon turned into severe pain all over the body. Sherlock even felt that his hair could feel the pain, and he kept screaming as if he was possessed by a demon.

In fact, Sherlock's feeling was not wrong. As the light gathered, the chain was really pulled out of Sherlock's soul bit by bit by the Soul Gem.

However, unlike the iron chain connected to a stone pier or anchor point as imagined, the other end of the iron chain pulled out by the Soul Gem looks like a tree root.

The intricate black roots were forcibly pulled out of Sherlock's soul bit by bit by Thanos. If all pain sensations were blocked, Sherlock would be able to feel it. It felt like someone was pulling your heart and pulling all the blood vessels out of your body bit by bit.

No wonder Sherlock screamed so miserably. Strictly speaking, this kind of pain is not much different from being heart-wrenching and bone-drilling, and it might even be worse.

Seeing that the black roots were becoming more and more numerous and thinner, Stephen seized the opportunity and directly released the grip on Sherlock's soul.

Sherlock, who was screaming in unspeakable pain, didn't even have time to react before he was driven by the sudden force and flew towards his body.

In the instant when the soul and body merged, there was just a pause, and Thanos' Soul Stone also pulled the black chain and the thing behind the chain completely out of Sherlock's body in this instant.
