Loki can say with certainty that he will not like the Soul Stone, even though he has not yet seen the stone.
It was impossible not to be shocked when I first learned that the gem was conscious, but no matter how shocked I was, it couldn't be compared to the shock of another person being attracted by the gem. But now, what surprised him the most was the aura emanating from the Infinity Stones.
That's almost "evil".
Why does an infinity stone exude such aura?
Loki was puzzled and instinctively felt something was wrong. The cunning evil god has always known how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, except for certain times when his stupid brother forced him to face fierce enemies.
Sensing Loki's hesitation, Noah stopped and said, "You can wait for me here."
He didn't ask Loki to go along, and given what he knew about the Soul Stone, he didn't want Loki to volunteer.
Loki blinked at this and smiled innocently: "You are right, uninvited guests are not welcome."
Noah nodded slightly and strode into the ruined temple.
After stepping into the gate of the temple, what you saw was not a withered hall, but a platform and a cliff at the other end. Above the cliff was a dark red sky, revealing something ominous like blood.
Compared with Loki's alertness to the ominous atmosphere here, Noah felt that the atmosphere here was inexplicably familiar. It wasn't until he stepped into this area that he finally knew where the familiarity came from. He had faced this kind of ominous and deep aura, but at that time he was not familiar enough with the Infinity Stones, so he could not detect the fluctuations in the evil aura.
"...Undead." Noah murmured, "It's not without reason that he's called one."
A voice sounded deep in his soul. No, it was not a voice, but a whisper accompanied by some kind of soul vibration.
It sounded like He had wanted to see Noah for a long time.
"What do you want from me?" The reason why Noah is not interested in this gem is simple. One is because he remembers that in the plot, Thanos obtained it with the soul of his beloved daughter Gamora as a sacrifice. This gem. The second reason is that because this gem has its own consciousness, he has always stayed away from conscious magic items, let alone such powerful things that are similar to the embodiment of the laws of the universe.
But the soul gem continued as if it was unaware of his resistance:
Noah frowned and suddenly realized something: "Did you intercept me here?"
This is an answer never imagined.
Noah imagined some possibilities, thinking of an accident or someone trying to pull him into this world. The former is the explanation given by SHIELD, and the latter is Noah's own guess, but the latter seems to have never included the idea of "soul gems" in his candidates.
Who would have thought of this!
As if aware of his surprise and doubts, the soul gem kindly gave the answer:
As the only conscious moment among the six gems, the Soul Gem is not unconscious. He can even drive the power of the other five gems with his own power. This ability allows him to be said to be to a certain extent. He knows how the world was formed, how countless parallel universes work, and He also knows those "stories" that are not known or remembered by others.
It stands to reason that he should be a bystander, or the one with bad taste. Just like other soul gems, pick a guy who is pleasing to the eye, give your power to the other person, and then see what this lucky person can perform. What kind of drama.
That's how it should be.
But one day, a soul gem in a parallel world felt that such a story was too boring, or "similar with a little difference". They have witnessed too many stories, so they feel that these stories are "the same". So they decided to change, and the soul gems hit it off.
So Noah was first pulled in by the soul gem of this world just because he was passing by.
After hearing the explanation, Noah said: "..."
"You guys are pretty good at pulling variables." Noah could only comment like this.
Soul Gem thinks he is good at choosing variables.
"I always like to nip danger in the bud." Noah said.
"Thanks for the compliment. In that case, I think I should take my leave."
"My curiosity about the Infinity Stones is limited to the power inside, and I don't want to be the owner of the Infinity Stones." Noah expressed his resistance to the Soul Stone proposal.
He bluntly pointed out Noah’s thoughts,
Noah heard the undoubted meaning in these words.
When Loki was tired of waiting, he saw Noah walking out of the ruined temple, with an orange gem in his hand.
Loki: "...Wow."
Now this man really has six gems in his hand.
"Have you decided what to wish for?" he asked.
Noah glanced at him: "I don't want to die young yet."
Simply using the power of gems to fight in a small area, and using the power of gems to modify the universe, these are two concepts. Thanos will lose half his life if he uses it. Ordinary humans like Noah will probably lose their souls. Whoever uses this thing is stupid.
Loki, who could feel the disgust and doubt in Noah's tone, raised his hands to show his innocence: "It was just a joke, after all, you have already collected six gems."
Noah didn't bother to pay attention to this evil god who would try to scratch people with his claws like a cat from time to time. He boarded the spacecraft directly. This time, the destination was set directly in the Milky Way. After reaching Asgard's range, he mercilessly kicked the evil god off the spacecraft. He returned to the temporary laboratory in Alfheim and quickly put into experiments.
The soul gem was delivered to him by himself, and he was allowed to study it at will. This kind of non-research is strange.
The soul gem probably regarded this as a reward, and allowed Noah to analyze his own power, and even actively cooperated with his analysis, and even tried to help him analyze the nature of the world. He can be said to be knowledgeable and talented, and he is closely related to the laws of the world. He has been of great help to Noah's research. I think that after the research is completed, his strength will be even higher.
And by then, it will be time to leave.
