Eric circled around the Soul Stone a few times, without any intention of picking it up.
"Why don't you pick it up?" Red Skull appeared behind Eric like a ghost.
Eric was not surprised by his appearance, "Why should I pick it up?".
"You've got recognized."
"No, it was Carol who sacrificed to it, not me!" Eric gave Red Skull a meaningful look, unmoved.
The floating figure of the Red Skull paused and spoke again, "There is someone who wants to see you."
"Your master?" Eric frowned, as if feeling something bad.
"He is the master of all souls!" Red Skull didn't buy Eric's sarcasm.
"So, just because He is backing, you can act like this?"
Red Skull: "..."
"It's also His idea to control Carol?" Eric stopped worrying about this lonely ghost and asked the next question.
"No, He never interferes with the operation of the universe, that is the soul stone's own opinion."
Red Skull's answer made Eric chuckle.
Never interfere with the operation of the universe? really? except for the Devourer of Worlds, who is just doing his job. This master of his is the one who interferes left and right everytime.
"How can I see Him?"
Hearing Eric's question, Red Skull stretched out his finger and pointed to the floating soul stone.
Eric looked at him deeply, and slowly put his palm on the stone.
The yellow light lit up, Eric closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened it again, he found himself in a space full of purple, with water just below his feet, and a small figure sitting in a thatched hut not far away.
Eric slowly walked towards the figure, and the more he walked, the more shocked his expression became, and his footsteps could not help speeding up a bit.
When he stood opposite the figure, his face completely darkened.
"Hello, Eric." her height is only a little over a meter, with a cute face and a long smooth and flowing hair falling behind her head.
"Your Excellency, why do you use the appearance of Skye?" Eric sat down and looked at her in the appearance of Skye.
"Why, don't you like it?" She twirled her long hair and chuckled.
"I really don't like it, Your Excellency, can you please change your appearance?"
"You are so heartless. On this timeline, this soul has the deepest relationship with you!" After that, Skye's face seemed to be on fire, quickly turning to ashes.
Eric was unmoved, he knew that it wasn't Skye, it was just a gesture she borrowed to show in front of him.
In the end, the entire Skye turned into ashes, and the ashes hovered in the air again, turning into another person, Carol...
"How about using her face?" She looked up and down at her hands, then clenched her fists hard, and a lot of red light spurted out from her body, exactly like Carol herself.
"Lord Death, do you think it's funny?" Although his tone was respectful, Eric looked at her as if she were mentally retarded.
That's right, she is one of the supreme cosmic entity, the goddess of death!
Perhaps, she isn't the true goddess of death, but just a clone from this universe.
Before, Eric had a guess when he saw the Red Skull. Red Skull has only been injected with super soldier serum, and his body has been strengthened, but he has never acquired the ability to fly. Of course, it may also be the ability he acquired after he was exiled, but Eric experienced the out-of-body soul, and he recognized the strong soul aura on Red Skull at first sight!
There is only a soul left in the Red Skull, which explains why the battle between himself and Carol did not hurt him.
At first, Eric thought it was the soul stone's consciousness that controlled him, and sarcastically said that he had a master and was talking about the soul stone, but unexpectedly, after the war, the Red Skull directly said "He is the master of all souls".
Who in Marvel controls all souls? Of course the goddess Thanos was madly in love with, Lady Death.
"You are the only soul that escaped from me!" The goddess of death dissipated the red glow from her body and looked directly at Eric in Carol's normal form, making Eric's expression stiff.
'I actually forgot about this, Death is a multiverse-level existence. It is very likely that she is just a clone of her in this parallel universe, and in the King Thanos universe, there is also a clone of the goddess of death, and that clone is instigating destruction, destroying the world!'
Thinking of this, Eric shuddered and asked cautiously, "Your Excellency Death, do you want take my soul?"
"No, I just came to see you, Eric, your soul is very special." Death looked at Eric straight.
"Of course I know that my soul is very special!" Eric rolled his eyes and almost said that he was a transmigrator.
"You mean traversers? No, there are many traversers in the entire multiverse. They have brought a lot of interesting things to this universe, but there is a big difference between you and them."
Eric's pupils shrank sharply, and he never thought that the goddess of death actually said the word "traverser" directly, this boss is different!
"What did they bring?"
"A lot, new ideas, new abilities, new powers, and some other interesting things like those systems or something."
Eric: "..."
...
"Eric, how about making a deal?" Death's voice was full of temptation.
"What deal? My special soul?" Eric suddenly became vigilant.
"No, the soul stone!" The goddess of death chuckled, stretched out her hand a little, and a yellow gem appeared out of nowhere, floating in the air.
"Soul Stone? What do you want this thing for?" Eric was puzzled.
"I have my own use. The soul stone remains in Vormir. How about I give you a chance to resurrect?"
"Resurrection?" Eric's eyes suddenly widened.
Death showed a charming smile, "Yes, a chance to resurrect, in exchange for the soul stone to continue to stay on Vormir, how about it?"
Eric had doubts and hurriedly asked, "What price does resurrection cost?"
"The same perfect resurrection as Dracula.
"However, I need Vormir to be the new home of the Skrulls. If the Soul Stone stays here, none of them can withstand the energy of the stone, and they will definitely go crazy."
"The soul stone will not emit energy for ten years."
Eric was immediately moved, but he still wanted to bargain, "Ten years is a bit short, how about twenty years?"
"Hmm...deal!"
