Chapter 1025: Selection of Sacrificial Materials
At the arch at the top of the mountain, the Red Skull suddenly stopped at the edge of the cliff like a ghost. The howling wind made his tattered clothes rustle. He slowly turned around, his eyes were like torches, shooting straight at Noah and the other two, and said in a vague voice: "What you are looking for is just ahead; what you fear is also hidden here."
Noah looked up, past the Red Skull, at the bottomless cliff behind him. Below the cliff, thick fog was like surging waves, rolling wantonly, filling the entire land, like a dormant beast, ready to devour everything at any time. Perhaps the Soul Gem was sleeping in the fog. Looking down again, the ground under their feet was crisscrossed with mysterious rune patterns, like an ancient totem, or a mysterious altar, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.
"What I desire is the Soul Stone, so where is it?" Although Noah already knew the conditions for obtaining the Soul Stone in the movie, he still asked the Red Skull at this time.
"If you or they want the Soul Gem, you must give up your loved ones." The Red Skull's mouth curled up in a strange arc, and his voice seemed to come from the Netherworld. He said slowly, "The soul is exchanged for the raw stone. This condition has never changed."
There was a hint of gloating in Red Skull's voice, as if because Noah had been talking about him just now, he really wanted to see an embarrassment on Noah's face at this moment, and was looking forward to how the other party would make a choice.
"Soul for soul? That's the rule." Noah stroked his chin, lost in thought, and the plot of the movie flashed through his mind. In the movie, Thanos and Gamora, Hawkeye and Black Widow, all sacrificed one person here in exchange for the Soul Stone.
Noah didn't quite understand why the Soul Gem had to be obtained by sacrificing the beloved of the other party, instead of just any soul being able to sacrifice the Soul Gem. Did the Soul Gem intentionally want to see others show a sad expression instead of joy after getting the Soul Gem? Then the consciousness of this Soul Gem was too cheap, wasn't it?
As for the power of the Soul Stone, Noah actually didn't know much about it. After all, in the movie, there were very few scenes where Thanos used this stone. The only scene Noah had seen was a deleted scene he saw online, in which Thanos used the Soul Stone to force out the souls of Star-Lord and others on Titan.
But just based on the name "Soul Stone", Noah can boldly speculate its ability. Control, distort, absorb souls, and even create souls are all possible. Perhaps it can even create souls, which is one of the conditions for creating life. In terms of distorting souls, its function should be similar to that of the Mind Stone, which can distort the minds of others.
Thinking of this, Noah couldn't help but look forward to it. If he could integrate the power of the Soul Stone into his Soul Stealing Scroll, what amazing effect would it produce? Even more, could he use the Soul Stone to absorb the souls of the entire universe and use them for himself?
While Noah was thinking, the Red Skull across from him gradually lost his patience. He was expecting to see Noah and the others struggling in pain, but the scene before him was far beyond his expectations. Noah was focused, stroking his chin in thought; Lissandra looked calm, with scanning rays flashing in her eyes from time to time, as if analyzing the structure of the Red Skull; Gwen was even more curious, running around the cliff, as if trying to explore the mystery hidden here.
"What's wrong with these people?" Red Skull complained to himself, speechless. After waiting for so many years, he finally got a few people, but they were all such unpredictable weirdos.
"Okay, have you made up your mind? Who will be the sacrifice? The Soul Gem that you have been dreaming of is right within reach. You only need to sacrifice your loved ones." The ghostly voice of the Red Skull came, instantly cutting off everyone's thoughts.
Noah slowly raised his head, his eyes first locked on the Red Skull, then he glanced left and right, looked at Gwen and Lissandra in turn, nodded slightly, and said calmly: "I've made up my mind." As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly stretched out his hand, and magic power surged out from his palm like a surging tide, and in the blink of an eye, it tightly imprisoned the Red Skull.
"What? What are you doing?" The Red Skull was instantly horrified. As a soul that had been reshaped into an immortal body by the Soul Gem, he thought that there was no power in the world that could restrain him. However, at this moment, he was restrained by Noah's magic. His heart was full of fear and confusion, and he could not guess Noah's intentions at all.
Noah ignored Red Skull's questioning, but simply waved his hand and threw Red Skull off the cliff.
Listening to the Red Skull's screams that were getting farther and farther away and getting weaker, Noah's face was full of anticipation. He deliberately maintained his magic power and always imprisoned the Red Skull, preventing it from floating in the air. This was one of the ideas he had just thought about, trying to throw the Red Skull down to see if he could get the Soul Stone by sacrificing this guy.
After a while, the screams of the Red Skull disappeared completely, and there was a dead silence around, as if nothing had happened. After all, the Red Skull was a soul, and even if it fell to the bottom of the valley, it would not make the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. Noah curiously moved closer to the edge of the cliff, leaned over and looked down, only to see that the bottom of the cliff was filled with thick fog, and there was no trace of the Red Skull at all.
"Enough! If you don't want the Soul Stone, then get out of here!" At this moment, the Red Skull's angry roar suddenly sounded from behind Noah.
Noah looked back and saw that the Red Skull had reappeared on the cliff. At this moment, his body was still somewhat illusory, like a floating ghost, but it was solidifying little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Red Skull was very angry. He didn't expect that this guy from Earth was so unruly and actually wanted to sacrifice him to the Soul Stone. To be honest, he was really scared just now. After all, he had never tried to jump off a cliff. Fortunately, the Soul Stone did not mistake him for a sacrificial material, but teleported him back to the cliff.
And what was that power just now? Was it Earth's technology? Has Earth developed to this point in all these years?
"Hahaha, just a joke." Noah waved his hands without feeling a bit embarrassed. This made Red Skull even more angry.
"If you can't give up your loved ones, you will never be able to get the Soul Stone. Soul in exchange for the stone, an eternal condition." The Red Skull calmed himself and repeated the rules of exchanging for the Soul Stone again.
