Marvel’s Big Villain - Chapter 396
Vormir’s Star is one of the tens of billions of dead stars in the universe.
It is very far away from the stars in the galaxy, and it is blocked by another planet that blocks most of the light, resulting in insufficient light, low temperature, and deserts everywhere.
So even if the planet has clean water and air, no civilization is willing to settle here.
After a month and a half of long voyages, Jason led the three major fleets and finally appeared near the Vormir Star.
“Around the planet, start monitoring!”
Valkyrie stood in the cockpit, commanding the soldiers to fly around the planet and conduct comprehensive monitoring.
The spacecraft is equipped with the most advanced detection instruments, which can analyze the surface image of the planet, life response, air quality, weapon defense and so on.
This is a necessary preparation before landing on an unknown planet.
After a few hours, the monitoring ended.
“There is no large-scale life response, the air quality is good, and there is no weapon defense…” Valkyrie reported the monitoring results, and at the same time projected the surface image of Vormir Star.
Gamora stepped forward and swiped the image to find the place where the Soul Gem was hidden on the drawing.
After a while, she pointed to a point on the image and said, “The location shown on the drawing should be here!”
Jason looked closely and found that this was a low mountain less than a thousand meters, and there were traces of artificial excavation.
“I hope it’s worth it.” Jason put on his coat and turned to leave.
“Jason, do you need to let the three major fleets land on Vormir?” Valkyrie followed and asked.
“No need! Since there is no ground armed force, dispatching a fleet won’t work. You two can just go with me.” Jason said casually.
“Then… what about General Darth Vader?”
“I don’t know how long this trip will take, so let him sit on the Ravager, and once an outsider breaks in, he will be annihilated immediately.”
“Understood!”
…………
Click!
The Commander’s belly compartment slowly opened.
A small spaceship flew out of it and headed for Vormir.
When the spacecraft approached the mountain, it began to slow down and finally landed on the flat ground near the mountain.
The hatch opened, and Jason stepped out of the spaceship first.
“It’s so dark.”
Jason looked up.
I saw a round of red sun blocked by the planet, causing the light of Vormir star to dim and the air to be unusually cold.
“Huh…”
He took a deep breath, and then let out a cloud of white mist.
“Oh, this place is so cold!” Valkyrie and Gamora followed and got off the spaceship.
The two girls were shivering from the cold, so they just rubbed their bodies hard to keep warm.
Seeing this, Jason raised his hand and released an energy shield to protect them.
“It’s better now.”
The energy cover can not only defend against attacks, but also heat up by converting heat energy, and the two of them immediately felt much warmer.
“Much better, thank you.”
“Then let’s go, there’s still a long way to go from here to the top of the mountain.”
The three walked along the artificially excavated stairs to the top of the mountain.
Valkyrie opened the way ahead, and Gamora held the sword in charge of breaking the rear, preventing any accidents.
The journey was calm, but just as they were about to reach the top, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of them.
“Who!”
Valkyrie reacted quickly and immediately pulled out the Dragon Tooth Sword.
The black shadow was wearing a cloak, and his face could not be seen clearly. The whole person was floating in the air, like a demon welcoming death. He opened his hands and said to the three of them.
“Welcome, Lord Jason, Valkyrie, and Gamora.”
“You know us?”
Jason patted Valkyrie on the shoulder to signal her to relax, and then walked forward slowly.
After getting closer, he finally saw the face of the shadow clearly.
It was a scarlet face, so thin that only the ugly face of a skeleton remained.
Jason thought for a while and made sure he didn’t know this person.
But if Steve Rogers was standing here, he would have recognized it at a glance.
This shadow is the founder of Hydra, Captain America’s sworn enemy, John Schmidt, the “Red Skull”.
The Red Skull said, “The curse on me is to know everyone who comes here.”
Jason didn’t talk nonsense and asked directly, “Where is the soul gem?”
Red Skull said: “You should know that you need to pay a heavy price to get it.”
“I’m ready.”
“We all thought we were ready at first… but we were all wrong.”
Hearing this, Jason frowned unhappily: “Don’t pretend to be a ghost, you can’t scare anyone except a three-year-old child, hurry up and take me to find the soul gem, or I will really turn you into a ghost.”
“In that case, come with me.”
The Red Skull turned and walked towards the top of the mountain, and the three of Jason quickly followed.
…………
Dozens of stone pillars stand on the top of the mountain, and there are corpses everywhere.
Valkyrie followed Red Skull at the front, and asked curiously, “You seem to know this place very well?”
The terrain here is complicated, but this guy is as easy as walking on the road.
Red Skull said with emotion: “I also chased the Infinity Stones in the last life, and even caught one of them with my own hands. But it abandoned me and exiled me here to become a guide.”
“Because for a person like me, the most cruel punishment is to guide others to hunt for treasure, but I will never get it.”
The last life that the Red Skull was referring to was the final battle between him and Steve on the spaceship.
After he was defeated by Steve, he wanted to grab the Cosmic Rubik’s Cube to fight back, but he didn’t know that the gem was actually wise.
People didn’t look down on him at all, so they transferred him to Vormir Star, and stayed as a guide for the soul gem for more than seventy years.
One in a cold and frozen glacier, and one in a cold and lonely planet, these two destined enemies are really somewhat similar.
A few people walked to the end of the top of the mountain, the cold wind was blowing in front of them, and there was a thousand-meter-high abyss under their feet.
Red Skull stopped, turned around and said, “What you are facing now is not only the treasure you are looking for, but also the fear in your heart.”
Seeing a strange and unidentified pattern carved at the foot of the mountain, Jason asked, “What is that?”
The Red Skull explained: “The Soul Stone holds a high place among the Infinity Stones because of its unique wisdom. In order to ensure that the owner understands the power of the stone, it needs your sacrifice.”
“What are you offering?”
Red Skull said faintly: “In order to get the Soul Gem, you need to sacrifice your loved one and exchange your soul for your soul.”
Hearing this, the smiling faces of the two children appeared in Jason’s mind.
Childish, innocent, cute…
It is undeniable that Jason is a selfish and cruel person.
In order to achieve his goals, he can sacrifice anyone’s life.
Even for his brothers or comrades who were born and died for him, he would show no mercy.
But in the depths of his cold, stone-like soul, there is also a soft spot, which belongs to the two children.
For the sake of the child, Jason is willing to sacrifice everything, destroy everything, give up everything…
And now there is an ugly face saying in his ear: As long as you sacrifice those two children, you can get the soul gem.
I’m going to **** you!
A mass of anger burned violently in his heart!
Jason turned around and glared at the Red Skull, and a huge energy claw grabbed the Red Skull’s body into the air.
“Ah! Don’t…don’t kill me…”
Jason flexed his fingers slightly, and all the bones in Red Skull’s body suddenly rattled, and the pain was unbearable.
“Fuck you! You **** must be trying to steal the soul gem, so you came up with these crazy ideas. Say! Where is the soul gem?”
“No, what I said is true!”
“Hmph! I still refuse to tell the truth when I die. It doesn’t matter, I have a solution.”
Jason glared at Red Skull, his pupils instantly turned golden yellow.
Damn it, wait until I control you with the law of my mind, and see if you’re not telling the truth.
A moment later, the Red Skull was still wailing bitterly under the grip of the giant claws, and there was absolutely no abnormality after the mind was controlled.
“This… how could this be?” Jason frowned strangely.
“God, you already have the Mind Gem. Then you should understand that the effects of gems and gems will cancel each other.” Red Skull quickly explained.
“The reason why I stay here and can’t escape is because of the curse of the soul gem. As long as this curse continues on me, no matter how much you try to control me with the soul gem, it’s useless. This is the proof.”
Jason stared into his eyes, trying to determine if he was lying.
However, what disappointed him was that Red Skull’s eyes and body movements were completely in line with the real reactions of normal people under tension and fear.
After a moment of hesitation, Jason suddenly stretched out his left hand, and a purple energy enveloped the Red Skull.
This is the power of the law contained in the power gem.
Jason once experimented, and the result can be described in four words – invincible.
Unfortunately, the purple energy immediately dissipated into the air when it touched Red Skull’s body.
What this **** said is actually true!
Jason let go of his hand with a blank face, his heart was extremely heavy, as if a boulder was pressing on it.
The Red Skull escaped and saved his life, and immediately rolled and climbed to escape from the top of the mountain.
Jason stood on the edge of the cliff, and his whole body was decadent.
Valkyrie and Gamora looked at each other, feeling very uncomfortable.
If sacrificing themselves can help Jason get the Soul Stone, they must die willingly.
It’s a pity that they all know in their hearts that Jason’s beloved is not them at all.
“No! I don’t believe it! There is a mutual induction between gems. Even if I don’t sacrifice anyone, I will definitely get it!”
After speaking, his whole body overflowed with energy and flew out alone.
…………
Jason didn’t eat or drink, and searched for ten days and ten nights on the Vormir Star, but found nothing, so he could only return to the spaceship in despair.
Everyone wanted to comfort them, but they didn’t know how to speak.
After Valkyrie’s dictation, they all knew the situation of Vormir.
So everyone got together and worked together to come up with ideas.
But after thinking about it for ten days and ten nights, I couldn’t think of anything worth trying.
To get the soul gem, you must sacrifice your loved one, which is already certain.
Although Jason is reluctant to sacrifice his children, the universe is so big that there are always people who are willing to do so.
Even if the other party is unwilling, they can be controlled with the Mind Stone.
However, most people are mortals who are not qualified to control gems.
Even if they are willing to sacrifice their loved ones, the end result is just a corpse on the top of a mountain.
And those who have the ability to control gems are almost all indifferent and ruthless people, they are selfish, and it is impossible to have a loved one at all.
Such as Ronan, Thanos and the like.
This seems to have fallen into an interlocking deadlock, and there is no way to break it.
…………
In the bathtub of the Commander’s lounge, Jason soaked in the water alone and wiped his body silently.
I don’t know how long he did the same action, until the door of the bathroom suddenly opened, and he came out of that lost state.
“Why are you?” Jason asked curiously.
“Who do you think it is?” Gamora asked rhetorically.
Jason thought it was Valkyrie, this rough-looking female man actually has a gentle heart and likes to do the job of a close sister the most.
“I thought… Forget it, what are you doing here?”
“Valkyri locks himself in the room and thinks of an idea, and asks me to come and see you.” Gamora found two bottles of wine from the room and sat crookedly by the bathtub.
Jason took the bottle, poured more than half of it boldly, and then sighed melancholy.
“Don’t sigh, tell me.”
Lady Gamora’s drink.
“say what?”
“Tell me about your love.”
“Heh…” Jason said with a wry smile, “I don’t have any love for someone like me, I only love myself.”
“I used to think so too, but when I saw your reaction that day, I knew I was wrong.” Gamora pierced the lie.
“What is this? A woman’s intuition.” Jason was speechless.
“You should take it. Then let my intuition guess again, your beloved… is your child.” Gamora said.
Jason was slightly stunned~www.mtlnovel.com~ and then gave a thumbs up: “Awesome!”
Gamora smiled and said, “It’s not hard to guess. I used to be the love of my parents. As long as it’s for my own good, they are willing to suffer from anything.”
“Thinking back to my childhood, the family of three lived a hard life, but at that time, I was the happiest living.”
“Until Thanos invaded my homeland and brutally killed half of the residents, including my parents.”
Talking about the childhood tragedy, Gamora showed pain and didn’t speak for a long time.
After a long time, Jason took the initiative to break the silence.
“Okay, tell me about you and Thanos. Nebula sued more than once, saying that Thanos is doting on you.”
“Humph! Doting!” Gamora sneered: “The reason I survived in the first place was because he saw my fighting talent.”
” Thanos gave me a knife to train me and Nebula day and night, eventually turning us into ruthless killing machines to help him plunder one planet after another.”
“For so many years, my hatred for Thanos has deepened little by little, and now it has penetrated deep into my bones. As long as I can kill him, I am willing to lose everything!”
“Um……”
After listening to Gamora’s narration, Jason frowned and pondered for a moment.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and his mood suddenly brightened.
It’s like a lost traveler in the desert who found a lake with crystal clear water.
