Marvel’s Big Villain

Chapter 397 Soul Gem! Painful price!

The Vormir 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 most of the light is blocked by another planet, resulting in insufficient light, low temperature, and deserts all over the planet.

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 voyage, the three major fleets led by Jason finally appeared near the Vormir star.

"Circle the planet, start monitoring!"

Valkyrie stood in the cockpit, directing soldiers to fly around the planet and conduct comprehensive monitoring.

The spaceship is equipped with the most advanced detection instruments, which can analyze the planet's surface image, life response, air quality, weapon defense and so on.

This is a necessary preparatory measure 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.

Gamora stepped forward and swipe the image, looking for the place where the soul gem is hidden drawn on the blueprint.

After a while, she pointed to a point on the image and said, "The position shown in the drawing should be right here!"

Jason looked over and found that it was a low mountain less than a kilometer, and there were traces of artificial excavation.

"I hope this trip will be worthwhile." Jason put on his coat, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Jason, do you need to let the three major fleets land on Vormir?" Valkyrie followed up and asked.

"No need! Since there is no ground armed force, sending a fleet won't work. You two can go with me." Jason said casually.

"What about... General Darth Vader?"

"I don't know how long this trip will take, so let him sit on the Devastator, and once an outsider breaks in, he will be wiped out immediately."

"Understood!"

…………

Click!

The belly compartment of the Commander 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 top of the mountain.

The hatch opened, and Jason was the first to step out of the spaceship.

"It's so dark."

Jason looked up.

I saw a round of red sun being blocked by the planet, causing the light of Vormir Star to be dim, and the air was also abnormally cold.

"call……"

He took a deep breath and exhaled a cloud of white mist.

"Oh, it's so cold here!" Valkyrie and Gamora walked off the spaceship.

The two girls were shivering from the cold, they just had to rub 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 shield can not only defend against attacks, but also convert heat energy for heating, and the two of them immediately feel much warmer.

"Much better, thanks."

"Then let's go, there is still some way to the top of the mountain."

The three walked towards the top of the mountain step by step along the artificially dug stairs.

Valkyrie opened the way ahead, and Gamora held the sword to break the back to prevent any accidents.

The road was calm and calm, but when they were about to climb to the top, a group of black shadows suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Who!"

Valkyrie reacted quickly and immediately pulled out the dragon tooth sword.

The black figure was wearing a cloak, and his face could not be seen clearly. The whole person was floating in mid-air, like a demon welcoming death, he opened his hands and faced the three of them.

"Welcome, Master Jason, Valkyrie, and Gamora."

"You know us?"

Jason patted Valkyrie on the shoulder to signal her to relax, then walked forward slowly.

After getting closer, he finally saw the black shadow's face clearly.

It was a crimson ugly face that was so thin that only a skeleton remained.

Jason thought for a while and was sure he didn't know this person.

But if Steve Rogers was standing here, he would definitely recognize it at a glance.

This shadow is the founder of Hydra, Captain America's mortal enemy, "Red Skull" John Schmidt.

Red Skull said, "I am cursed 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 play tricks, 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, you all come with me."

The Red Skull turned around and walked towards the top of the mountain, Jason and the three hurriedly followed.

…………

There are dozens of stone pillars standing on the top of the mountain, and there are bones and remains everywhere around.

Valkyrie followed Red Skull and asked curiously, "You seem to know this place well?"

The terrain here is complicated, but this guy is as easy as walking on the road.

Red Skull said with emotion: "In my last life, I also chased infinity gems, and even grabbed 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 cruelest punishment is to guide others to hunt for treasure, but never get it myself."

The last life mentioned by Red Skull refers to the final battle between him and Steve on the spaceship.

After he was defeated by Steve, he wanted to grab the Rubik's Cube to fight back, but he didn't know that the gem was actually intelligent.

They didn't like him at all, so they sent him to the Vormir planet, where he stayed as the guide of the soul gem for more than seventy years.

One stays on a cold and frozen glacier, the other stays on a cold and lonely planet. There are some similarities between these destined enemies.

A few people walked to the end of the top of the mountain, with the cold wind blowing head-on, and a thousand-meter-high abyss under their feet.

Red Skull stopped, turned around and said, "What you have to face now is not only the treasure you are looking for, but also the fear in your heart."

Seeing a strange and ominous pattern engraved at the foot of the mountain, Jason asked, "What is that?"

Red Skull explained: "The Soul Gem has a high status among the Infinity Stones because it has a unique intelligence. In order to ensure that the owner understands the power of the gem, it needs your sacrifice."

"Sacrifice what?"

Red Skull said faintly: "In order to get the soul gem, you need to sacrifice your loved one and exchange soul for soul."

Hearing this, the smiling faces of two children appeared in Jason's mind.

Childish, innocent, cute...

It is undeniable that Jason is a selfish and brutal person.

In order to achieve his goal, he can sacrifice anyone's life.

Even if it is a brother or accomplice who has been born and died for him, he will not show mercy.

But deep in his cold, stone-like heart, there is also a soft place, which belongs to the two children.

For the child, Jason is willing to sacrifice everything, destroy everything, give up everything...

But 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 fuck you!

A ball of anger burned violently in his heart!

Jason turned around and glared at Red Skull, a huge energy claw grabbed Red Skull's body into the air.

"Ah! Don't... don't kill me..."

Jason exerted a little force with his five fingers, and the bones of the Red Skull suddenly cracked, and the pain was unbearable.

"Fuck you! You ugly bastard must want to steal the soul gem, that's why you came up with these crazy ideas. Tell me! Where is the soul gem?"

"No, what I said is true!"

"Hmph! I'm still refusing to tell the truth when I'm about to die. It doesn't matter, I have plenty of ways."

Jason stared at Red Skull, his pupils instantly turned golden yellow.

Damn dog, wait until I control you with the law of the mind, and see if you still tell the truth.

A moment later, the Red Skull was still wailing bitterly under the grip of the giant claws, completely free of the abnormal state of mind being controlled.

"This...how could this be?" Jason frowned strangely.

"My God, you already have the Soul Gem. Then you should understand that the effects of gems and gems will cancel each other out." Red Skull quickly explained.

"The reason why I can't escape here is that I was cursed by the soul gem. As long as this curse continues to stay on me, it will be useless for you to use the soul gem to control me. This is the proof..."

Jason stared into his eyes, trying to tell if he was lying.

However, to his disappointment, the Red Skull's eyes and body movements completely matched the real reaction of normal people under nervous and fearful emotions.

After a moment of hesitation, Jason suddenly stretched out his left hand, and a beam of purple energy enveloped the Red Skull.

This is the power of law contained in the power gem.

Jason has tried it before, and the result can be described in four words - invincible.

It's a pity that when the purple energy touched Red Skull's body, it immediately dissipated into the air.

What this bastard said is actually true!

Jason let go of his hand with a blank expression, feeling extremely heavy, as if a huge boulder was pressing on it.

The Red Skull narrowly escaped and got his life back, and immediately fled from the top of the mountain rolling and climbing.

Jason stood on the edge of the cliff, his whole body was decadent.

Valkyrie and Gamora looked at each other, feeling very uncomfortable.

If sacrificing themselves could help Jason get the soul gem, they would definitely die willingly.

It's a pity that they all knew in their hearts that Jason's true love was not them at all.

"No! I don't believe it! There is a mutual induction between gems and gems. Even if I don't sacrifice anyone, I can definitely get it!"

After speaking, he overflowed with energy and flew out alone.

…………

Jason didn't eat or drink, and searched for ten days and ten nights on Vormir, but he still found nothing, so he could only return to the spaceship in a daze.

Everyone wanted to comfort them, but they didn't know how to speak.

After Valkyrie dictated, they all knew the situation on Vormir.

So everyone got together and brainstormed ideas.

But after thinking about it for ten days and ten nights, I couldn't think of a way worth trying.

In order to obtain the soul gem, one must sacrifice a loved one, which is already certain.

Although Jason was 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 Soul Gem.

However, the vast majority of 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 the mountain.

And those who have the ability to control gems are almost all indifferent people. They are selfish, and it is impossible for them to have a loved one.

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 in the captain's lounge of the Commander, Jason soaked in the water alone, silently wiping his body.

He did the same action for an unknown amount of time, until the bathroom door suddenly opened, and he came out of that distraught state.

"Why are you?" Jason asked curiously.

"Who do you think?" Gamora asked back.

Jason thought it was Valkyrie. This rough-looking woman actually has a gentle heart, and she likes to be a close sister the most.

"I thought...forget it, what are you doing here?"

"Valkyrie shut himself in the room to think about his ideas, so he asked me to come and see you." Gamora found two bottles of wine from the room, and sat on the edge of the bathtub.

Jason took the bottle, poured more than half of it boldly, and then sighed melancholy.

"Stop sighing, just tell me."

Lady Gamora takes a sip of her drink.

"say what?"

"Tell me about your love."

"Heh..." Jason smiled wryly, "There is no true love for a person like me. I only love myself."

"I used to think so, but seeing your reaction that day, I realized I was wrong." Gamora broke the lie with one word.

"What is this? A woman's intuition." Jason was speechless.

"Just take it as it is. Then let my intuition guess again, your true love...is your child." Gamora said.

Jason was slightly stunned, and then gave a thumbs up in admiration: "Amazing!"

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 good, they are willing to suffer any hardship."

"Thinking about my childhood, although the life of a family of three was difficult, I lived the happiest life at that time."

"Until Thanos invaded my home and brutally killed half of the residents, including my parents."

Talking about childhood tragedies, 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. Xingyun has filed a complaint more than once, saying that Thanos is doting on you."

"Hmph! Doting!" Gamora sneered, "The reason why I survived was because he took a fancy to my fighting talent."

"Thanos gave me a knife, let me and Xingyun receive training day and night, and finally turned us into a ruthless killing machine, so as to help him plunder one planet after another."

"Over the 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!"

"Ok……"

After listening to Gamora's narration, Jason frowned and pondered for a moment.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and his mood brightened.

Like a lost traveler in the desert, he found a clear lake.
