"If you want to get the soul stone, you have to pay a huge price!"
"We all thought we were ready at first, but we were all wrong!"
...
Red Skull babbled along the way.
Eric followed him calmly, ignoring his nonsense, but Carol was curious, "What's the price?"
"That's the price!" Red Skull pointed to the cliff that was a few steps away from the crowd.
Carol couldn't help but stepped forward and looked down, only to see a circular pattern below, "That's it?"
"That's it!" Eric also stepped forward, "The soul stone needs a sacrificed."
"Sacrificing what?"
"Sacrifice a soul, a soul for a soul!" Eric squinted at Red Skull and snatched his lines.
"You know?" Red Skull gave him a surprised look.
"Of course I know!"
Carol turned to look at Yon Rogg, who was still in a coma, and raised her brows, "Eric, do you want to sacrifice him?"
"Of course, what do you think?" Eric looked at her with a smile, waiting for her decision.
Carol hesitated for a few seconds, and then asked: "If you take this gem, will this planet become suitable for Skrulls to survive?"
"That's right!"
"Come on then!" Carol mentioned Yon Rogg, and was about to throw him down when she reached the edge of the cliff.
"This can't be done like this!" Red Skull looked at child's play like sacrifice and couldn't help reaching out to stop her, "You need to sacrifice the soul of your loved one!"
"This is her true love!" Eric smirked and pointed at Yong Rogg.
The Red Skull looked at Carol, then at Yong Rogg, and shook his head, "It's useless to lie to me, I'm just a guide, and the one measuring the sacrifice is the soul stone."
"That's enough to deceive the Soul Stone." Eric shrugged and said it casually.
The Red Skull was stunned.
"Carol, I need your cooperation." Eric stood behind Carol and put his hands on her temples.
"What?" Carroll suddenly became serious, the momentum on her body was rising, ready to explode at any time.
Eric couldn't help rolling his eyes and patted her head, "Relax, you're not gonna fight."
Carol was stunned for a moment, and a little embarrassedly dissipated the energy that had just gathered, "What should I do?"
"Try to love Yon Rogg."
"Ah?" Carol was dumbfounded.
"What?" The Red Skull on the side was even more dumbfounded, his eyes almost popping out.
Eric patted her again, "Concentrate, let go of the distracting thoughts, recall the good times you had together, and tell yourself over and over in your mind that you love him."
"You can't succeed like this!" Red Skull shook his head, stepped aside and continued to watch the two perform in amusement.
Eric ignored him and pressed his palms against Carol's head, "The human brain consists of the cerebral cortex and the limbic system. The cerebral cortex is responsible for many advanced functions of the human body, including language, thinking, planning, execution, cognition, etc, known as the 'rational brain'."
"The limbic system includes numerous structures in the cerebral cortex and subcortical regions, including the hippocampus, amygdala, cingulate gyrus, hypothalamus and other regions. Because it dominates emotions, motivation, memory and other functions, it is also called the 'emotional brain'..."
As Eric explained, he slowly released electromagnetic pulses, "What I'm going to do now is to stimulate your 'emotional brain' to make them produce more hormones, so that you can have more abundant emotions, um, don't resist , this energy will not hurt you at all."
After listening to Eric's explanation, Carol took a deep breath, let it out slowly, closed her eyes and let herself go, trying to remember the kindness that Yon Rogg shown him, the meticulous care in life, the detailed and patient care on the training ground, teaching, etc...
Over and over in her heart, she meditated, "I love Yon Rogg, I love Yon Rogge, I love Yon Rogg..."
Seeing that she had entered the state, Eric nodded secretly, and his mental power and magnetic field were mobilized at the same time to observe her subtle changes.
Self-hypnosis over and over again, coupled with Eric's use of electromagnetic pulse stimulation from time to time, Carol's lips gradually showed a sweet smile.
"Now!" Eric immediately increased his power output, and strange electromagnetic pulses bombarded Carol's hypothalamus and other locations far and wide, causing her brain to secrete more hormones and produce more emotions.
Carol's expression gradually became like a spring breeze, and a bright smile appeared on her face, as if she's a girl in love receiving her boyfriend's proposal ring.
"There's such thing like that?!" Red Skull looked dumbfounded on the side. He considered himself to be a very evil person. When leading Hydra, he manipulated other people's lives and emotions, and this was the first time he saw this kind of manipulation.
"Let go!" Eric suddenly said in Carol's ear,
as Carol let go of her hand subconsciously, and Yon Rogg immediately fell.
"It's done!" Eric silently praised himself in his heart, and stepped back.
Carol opened her eyes slightly, and looked around like a girl in spring.
However, after bowing her head a little, Carol saw her falling "beloved" Yon Rogg, as her eyes widened, "No! Rogg!!"
With a loud roar, Carol directly turned on her light mode, and rushed down the cliff like lightning. The huge energy shock knocked the Red Skull away, and Eric was also knocked back a few steps.
"Oh, that seems a little going too far?" Eric was embarrassed, looking at Carol "jumping off a cliff to save her husband", almost covering his face.
Unfortunately, Carol's speed was one step slower. As soon as her hand touched the corner of Yon Rogg's clothes, he had already smashed to the ground, as blue blood flowed out, dyeing the ground blue.
Carol knelt down beside him, stroking his cheek lightly, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes. She wiped a strand of blood from Yon Rogg's body and gently tapped it between her eyebrows, "Rogg, don't worry, your blood is still flowing in my body!"
After that, a more dazzling light erupted from her body, and soared into the sky, hovering near the cliff, then she looked at Eric directly: "Eric! you'll pay for what you've done!"
