The Grand Pope of the Marvel Universe

Vormir Star is a completely useless planet. If the Morag Planet where the power gem is hidden is just abandoned, then Vormir Star is really completely forgotten.

If it weren't for some extremely ancient cosmic star maps that still recorded the name and coordinates of this planet, I am afraid that no outsiders will come again until this planet is destroyed by a meteorite impact.

However, so far, there are only two people in the entire universe who can understand the significance of this forgotten planet. One of these two people is Gamora, because she once obtained the coordinate star map of this planet.

And the other person is naturally Li Hou who read the memory from Gamora's mind!

"Tsk, this place stinks."

Li Hou covered his nose, and couldn't help frowning. The Vormir star was the place that appeared once in the plot of Avengers 3. It was the place where Thanos sacrificed his beloved daughter Gamora to obtain the soul gem.

In the original plot, Gamora actually got the coordinates of Vormir star a long time ago, but she was already dissatisfied with Thanos at that time, so she never reported it. In addition, in order to prevent Thanos from being aware of her suspicious whereabouts, Gamora has never been to this planet.

It’s just that in the plot of Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Gamora revealed to his sister Nebula that he knew the location of the Soul Gem. He thought it would not be leaked, but in fact, Nebula, whose body has undergone a lot of machine transformation, was installed by Thanos. A camera, everything Nebula sees is under the control of Thanos.

After that, Thanos threatened Nebula's life and forced Gamora to reveal the address of Vormir.

The reason why Li Hou came here was firstly to confirm the location, secondly to get a taste of the energy operation of the soul gem, and secondly to try to see if he could find some loopholes for him to set up some traps for Thanos.

Soon, Li Hou hid his figure and came to a towering mountain peak, where there was an altar-like position, and at the same time there was a man in black robe guarding him. Li Hou knew that this man in black robe was the Red Skull, an antagonist of Captain America Stephen Rogers 70 years ago.

At that time, the main point of the battle between Rogers and Red Skull was the Cosmic Rubik's Cube. The Red Skull wanted to use the Cosmic Rubik's Cube to conquer the world, and Rogers fought to stop him.

Unless the Soul Stone is acquired by someone, the Red Skull will never be free.

Of course, the Red Skull also peeked at the power of the soul gem, but because the soul gem temporarily occupies a very unique position among all the infinite gems, it is not such an easy thing to get, one soul is exchanged for another soul.

Only by giving true love can one be rewarded, and the Red Skull only cares about himself, so naturally he can only guard the soul gem for 70 years.

"Hmph, it's amazing. I can indeed feel a magical power, but it doesn't seem to be in a specific place..." Li Hou frowned, feeling a little weird.

He tried to jump off the cliff of the altar to see if there was any strange mechanism design on the way, but he found nothing in the end. Li Hou also had a little understanding of magic and mystery, so he naturally understood the principle of using sacrifices to perform rituals. Since it was a sacrifice ceremony, there must be a magic circle or similar arrangement...

But there is nothing here.

"Maybe this ceremony is not a dead thing, but a living thing?" Li Hou touched his chin, and his eyes fell on the Red Skull.

According to the original plot, the Red Skull who became the guardian of the soul gem was given a curse, able to understand everyone who arrived on Vormir, and Li Hou did feel a mysterious force wanting to invade his body after arriving on Vormir. It is harmless, but it seems to be able to read the soul.

But Li Hou naturally didn't intend to let external force enter his body, so he easily isolated that mysterious force.

This should be the body of the curse on the Red Skull, an extension of the ability of the Soul Gem, so Li Hou speculates that perhaps a certain connection between the Red Skull and the Soul Gem makes him the body of the altar ceremony. Once he witnesses the establishment of the sacrifice, he can make the Soul Gem appear.

Li Hou manipulated the consciousness of the Red Skull, and gave him a careful inspection of the whole body, but found no strange traces, even in the soul of the Red Skull, except for a small remnant of the energy of the soul gem, there was nothing else.

"Tsk, it's really troublesome...huh?"

Just when Li Hou withdrew the ability of [Necromancer], he suddenly noticed a huge soul energy, which was exactly the kind he felt when he first came to Vormir Star, but if he didn't use the same level of soul power, he couldn't detect the details at all.

Li Hou stomped his feet with a strange expression, and looked at the land of Vormir with surprise in his eyes. It is true that the soul gem is on this planet, but there are some differences in details. It is not that the soul gem is somewhere, but the soul gem is this planet!

This entire Vormir star seems to have been formed over the years under the power of the soul gem. It's no wonder that Li Hou couldn't find any trace of the sacrificial ceremony, because the body of this planet is actually a ceremony.

Li Hou, who finally found the location of the soul gem, was overjoyed immediately. He urged the soul ability of [Necromancer] to continue to go deep into the interior of Vormir, trying to dig out the body of the soul gem, but encountered a backlash attack. Although he successfully contacted the energy operation of the soul gem, it also let Li Hou know that this gem is not so easy to play with.

The Infinity Stone is actually alive, and its soul as a symbol of life is the Soul Stone.

The origin of the infinite gems is actually a god named Nemesis, the goddess of revenge, who split herself because she couldn't bear the long-term loneliness. Every fragment that splits out is the infinite gems of each Marvel parallel universe, and the soul gems are her soul fragments.

As a god, Nemesis, the goddess of nemesis, is an existence that transcends the entire parallel universe of Marvel. If she lives, she can even erase the existence of the world system of Marvel. The soul of such a character, even if it is only a fragment, is quite difficult to deal with.

And it is said that there is even a seventh Infinity Gem in a certain Marvel parallel universe - the Ego Gem. Once this gem is born, it means that Nemesis will also be resurrected...

"It seems that the plot of the Soul Gem can only be left alone, and there is no room for meddling." Li Hou, who was rarely deflated, curled his lips, and immediately teleported back to Earth.
