Druid’s Marvel Travels

Chapter 386 Negotiating Conditions with the Soul Gem

Dead things without intelligence are not easy to deal with.

As long as there is wisdom, you can talk.

Infinity Stones are no exception.

What's more, Oakes brought three infinity gems and a dimensional space to negotiate terms with the soul gem.

If it is unwilling to meet, at worst, the Emerald Dream will swallow Vormir.

The soul gem may not be swallowed together, but it is impossible to affect it at all, right?

If it materializes, it can just be taken away.

Then, under an orange sky, he saw another self.

"It's really impolite to talk to me in my own way."

After Oakes finished speaking, he saw himself on the opposite side pull his face down.

It would be polite to suppress the entire dimensional space!

The Soul Gem felt that it had been a long time since a soul could give him such weird emotions.

The soul on the opposite side is very strong, far surpassing most naturally born souls.

But that's all, it can't make it afraid, because this guy's soul is beyond his control...

It can control the souls of all beings in this universe, but only the one in front of it can't. What's the reason?

Moreover, the dimensional space above the head makes it feel very weird, it is actually related to the soul realm!

"You are very special... you can actually use this method to force me to show up, so what do you want to talk about?"

The soul gem opened its mouth. Although it has certain intelligence, it is not a real life. From the perspective of Oakes, it looks a bit like AI.

"Let's discuss, this time I need to use the soul gem, so I can exchange it with an eternal soul, is it feasible?"

Oakes didn't talk nonsense, and directly set out the conditions. It is impossible for him to sacrifice someone he cherishes.

"..."

The soul gem was silent, and then shook his head slowly after a while:

"Eternal Race? The mass-produced life created by the Celestial God Group, you not only don't follow the rules I set, but also use this inferior product to replace it, of course not."

"Inferior..."

Oakes was a little speechless. Ikaris didn't know how he would feel if he knew that he was evaluated by the soul gem.

"In my perception, the souls of the eternal race are much stronger than ordinary humans, after all, they have experienced thousands of years.

But why do you have to ask others to sacrifice the soul of a cherished person before you are willing to show yourself? What good does it do you? "

If Oakes guessed correctly, this space should be the soul space inside the soul gem.

The souls "eliminated" by the soul gem should all be stored in this space, which has to be said to be very similar to the Emerald Dream.

It's just that the Emerald Dream doesn't have the ability to take the initiative to steal people's souls, it can only entrust dreams.

"The soul is the miracle of life - any individual with life has a soul, the difference is only the strength or weakness, whether it can form a clear consciousness.

This point, perhaps you who are proficient in the power of life, will feel very deeply. "

The soul gem didn't play tricks, what it said made Oakes nod silently——

Druids draw their power from all things in nature, and the idea of ​​"animism" is not a lie.

For inanimate natural elements, conform to their laws of existence;

For animals and plants with life, it fits their spiritual soul.

"I, the soul gem, is actually the entrance to this soul space, and I have the ability to absorb and manipulate souls, regardless of life or death——

So I have an abnormal desire for the light that the soul can bloom. "

After a pause, a deep evil smile appeared on the surface of the image of Oaks transformed from the soul gem:

"The soul is the miracle of life, and love is the miracle of the soul—

Only the strong soul disturbance of two souls, whether it is the sadness and anger of the sacrificer, or the fear, unwillingness, or open-mindedness of the sacrificed person——

This is enough to please me, the most brilliant light of the soul! "

"..."

Oakes was silent.

The Soul Gem is indeed the most dangerous Infinity Gem.

It itself has a hungry soul, and what this soul longs for is simply unreasonable!

"So……"

After thinking for a while, Oakes looked at the image in front of him that was exactly the same as himself, and said slowly:

"Does the sacrificed soul have strength requirements?"

"...at least a complete intelligent life soul."

Soul Gem slowly put away that evil smile, and became expressionless again:

"Sacrificing your favorite pet cat or dog is not acceptable."

"..."

The pets in my home are very smart!

No, I didn't want to sacrifice pets at all!

"So how about this?"

Oakes thought for a moment, then 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 is of course myself!"

"you……"

The corners of the eyes of the Oaks image transformed from the soul gem twitched violently. This guy was provoking him by saying this!

"What you cherish is life, whether it is your own or someone else's. This is the basis of your current achievements in the field of life!"

The Soul Gem finally couldn't bear it anymore, it pointed at Oakes' forehead and roared loudly:

"As long as it is not your enemy, even an ordinary person who has nothing to do with you, you will feel sad for his sacrifice here. There is no one in the entire universe who can easily obtain soul gems like you!"

The roar fell, and the soul space fell into an incomparable silence.

"What did you say?"

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 Stone repeated the shocking words again:

"At least...my observation of you is certain!"

"..."

Oakes was silent again.

After a long time, he smiled helplessly:

"Hey... don't force the 'God so loved the world' thing on me, it's simply impossible."

No matter whether it was like this in his subconscious, or he misjudged the soul gem because of the special nature of the soul and ability, Oakes couldn't believe that his spiritual realm could be so high.

Moreover, Oakes wouldn't be surprised if this vicious soul gem took the initiative to ask for part of his soul.

What is this now?

"You can even merge with the will of the world, what is impossible?"

The soul gem still insists on his own opinion, it is a soul gem, how can such a thing be misjudged!

"Well, even if what you said is true, then it's even more impossible for me to randomly find an innocent person to do so-called sacrifice!"

Oakes looked at this image that was exactly the same as himself, suddenly a little weird:

"Speaking of which, this so-called 'soul-for-soul' sacrificial ceremony is a trick you made to satisfy your bad tastes. Your fundamental purpose is to witness the love-hate entanglement between souls..."

Has this soul gem never seen a romance movie about life and death?

"Then that is to say, if I skip the step of offering sacrifices and just let you feel this kind of pleasure, it's fine?"

"..."

This time it was the Soul Gem's turn to be silent.

"Clumsy performances are useless, I need the real pleasure of entanglement and separation between souls!"

"So……"

Oakes touched his chin, showing a meaningful smile:

"Have you... ever dreamed?"

Soul Gem: "?"

On Vormir Star, the Red Skull watched the emerald rift suddenly accelerate and descend, directly swallowing the entire soul altar!

In the Emerald Dream, there are all the nightmare projections left by the original dream dimension, as well as new dreams that are happening all the time——

There are good dreams, there are also nightmares, everything goes with the flow.

Dreams undoubtedly have a very close connection with the soul——

There is a saying that dreams are what the soul is connected with the self in the parallel universe and experiences what the self in the parallel universe experiences.

Therefore, although many things in the dream are easily forgotten, a considerable part is unforgettable.

As if I experienced it myself.

The Emerald Dream enveloped the Altar of Souls.

Oakes picked the deepest, clearest, most gorgeous dream of love and loss in the Emerald Dream, and showed it to the Soul Gem at zero distance!

This is simply something that has never happened since the birth of the universe.

The Soul Gem never imagined that this guy in front of him would actually do this to avoid the sacrifice of even an ordinary person...

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 bright and genuine soul lights brought it an unparalleled sense of pleasure, satisfying its long-standing desire!

As the gatekeeper and guide of the soul gem, Red Skull discovered the change of the soul gem for the first time.

When the soul gem recognizes a person, he, the gatekeeper and guide, has no need to continue to exist.

Looking at his gradually dissipating body, the Red Skull seemed to recall what Oakes had said to him when he first arrived.

"I wanted to rule that planet...how ignorant..."

The emerald fissure slowly dissipated, and the power of the dream left the planet at the center of the celestial body.

And when Oakes woke up slowly, he found himself lying in shallow water.

The overcast sky glowed with streaks of orange, and the same glow emanated from between his fingers.

"Finally got... the soul gem!"

Oakes looked at the Infinity Gem emitting orange light in his hand, and actually vaguely sensed its function.

As it said, absorbing and manipulating the soul, but other than that, Oakes vaguely felt that he seemed to be able to escape into that soul space again through the soul gem!

"This... this is the benefit of snapping your fingers with the six-gem infinite glove..."

Could it be that the soul gem was limped by Oakes' dream and gave him such a benefit?

"Tsk...some time to study, now..."

"Ding!"

"Shhh..."

The soul gem was inlaid on the groove of the little finger, and Oakes clearly felt the pressure brought by the four-color electric current.

"It's still bearable...then let's do it as soon as possible!"

The blue light lit up, and Oakes disappeared on Vormir Star.
