Mei Man starts with black robe pickets

Chapter 153 The Foundation of the Universe

Red Skull led the way, and Roger followed behind him, walking deep into the mirror-like lake.

During this period, the Red Skull didn't talk to Roger anymore, he just did his duty as a guide with peace of mind, and brought Roger to the location of the soul gem.

The two walked on the lake for a long time. It took about half an hour before the Red Skull stopped and saluted Roger again:
"What you want is right ahead."

Roger looked ahead, then at Red Skull, and said hesitantly:

"Ahead...is there nothing?"

"That's because you haven't really opened your eyes yet."

Roger was silent, and asked after a long time, "...philosophy?"

"Not a philosophy..."

Red Skull also seemed a little speechless, he simply said in a simple way:

"You should be carrying a soul gem, right? Please use the power of the soul gem to sink into your own heart, find the 'self' deep in your heart, and let him open his eyes."

"That is to say, use the soul gem? You said it earlier."

"..."

The Red Skull didn't speak anymore. He crossed his hands in front of him and lowered his head slightly, as if praying devoutly.

Roger didn't make things difficult for the Red Skull anymore. Since the Red Skull said he used the Soul Stone, it's okay for him to try it with the Soul Stone.

Roger has long been familiar with using the mind stone.

So it didn't take long for Roger to sink his consciousness into the depths of his heart according to what the Red Skull said.

This is the first time for Roger to take the initiative to explore the true self in the depths of the soul. After all, who is a serious person will go to the sea of ​​​​consciousness to explore what self is in the sea of ​​consciousness.

So if it wasn't for what the Red Skull said, Roger probably wouldn't have done it in his life.

But when Roger's consciousness sank into the depths of his heart, he discovered a strange thing.

In his consciousness... there seemed to be something that didn't belong to him.

In the white, seemingly abstract spiritual world, there is Roger's conscious body floating, and an orange light spot in front of the conscious body.

Staring at the orange light spot in the distance, almost instinctively, Roger felt that it was the soul gem he had been looking for.

The soul gem actually appeared in the depths of his own sea of ​​consciousness?

No, to be more precise, the soul gem... has been hidden in Roger's soul? !
"When is..."

Roger didn't know why the soul gem was in his soul, and he didn't know when it went into his soul.

Normally this shouldn't happen.

Therefore, at the moment he saw the soul gem, he even doubted his own existence.

The ability of the soul gem can change, control, and even create a soul out of nothing. For the holder of the soul gem, as long as he can skillfully use the power of the gem, it is not difficult to create a soul with self-awareness.

If it is said that Roger's soul was also created out of nothing...

"No, the power of gems cannot be used in other worlds."

The more he thought about it, the more dangerous Roger felt, and he quickly shook his head and vetoed it.

Infinity gems can only be used in the Marvel universe. Leaving the Marvel universe, the infinite gems are just a good-looking stone, with a harder material at best.

And the place where Roger crossed before is a place where the infinite stone is absolutely impossible to play a role, so Roger cannot be the soul created by the soul stone.

At the same time, although the soul created by the soul gem will have self-awareness, its mind is blank, and it is impossible to have the memory and past of Roger.

Rather, it would be too horrifying if this were the case, and Roger didn't want to believe that kind of thing.

Clenching his fists tightly, Roger stared at the soul gem in front of him, then raised his hand to try to touch the soul gem.

The moment Roger's consciousness body and the soul gem came into contact with each other, Roger's mind suddenly went blank, and pictures of countless worlds flashed in Roger's mind.

In this moment, Roger sees another piece of the new multiverse.

……

Outside, Roger's body sits cross-legged in the Mirror Lake as if meditating, while the Red Skull still hangs its head, motionless as if guarding Roger.

Suddenly, an orange light spot emerged from a distance, flew towards this side at an extremely fast speed, and quickly penetrated into Roger's body.

The Red Skull, who had witnessed all this with his own eyes, had a little light in his dead eyes. He looked at Roger and muttered to himself:
"……I am free."

After the words fell, the Red Skull's body drifted away like smoke, and the moment he disappeared, Roger, who was originally immersed in the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness, opened his eyes.

If someone is here, you can see Roger who just opened his eyes. There seems to be an endless starry sky in his eyes, just like the eyes of Andrea's phantom.

Beautiful, dreamy, and profound, as if there are two universes hidden in the eyes.

But the starry sky in Roger's eyes only lasted for a moment, and the next moment, the two dreamy starry sky changed back to the original normal eyes.

Roger's gaze was slightly dull, and it took him a long time to recover, and he whispered to himself:
"It turns out... the soul gem is the cornerstone of the two worlds, that's what it means."

When the consciousness space came into contact with the soul gem, Roger already understood what Charles meant when the soul gem was guarding the two worlds.

In addition to being able to control and create souls, the Soul Stone is also the most special of the six Infinity Stones.

Because the interior of the soul gem itself has a beautiful small universe.

In this universe, all resources are almost unlimited, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as the so-called paradise in myths and legends.

But at the same time, the soul gem itself also has a certain degree of self-awareness, which is why if you want to get it, you must first sacrifice the most important person to yourself.

The Soul Gem craves souls, so only those who give it can get it.

Andrea saw this. She knew that soul gems were not so easy to obtain. Unlike other gems, gems with self-awareness were the most troublesome, even if their self-awareness was not very strong.

So Andrea spent a lot of time killing the will on the soul gem, and based on the soul gem, put all the universes of the Avengers and X-Men into the universe inside the gem.

In other words, the current soul gem is the two universes themselves.

Roger holds the soul gem, which is equivalent to carrying two universes with him.

When Roger understood this, he finally understood why the soul gem is so important, but at the same time Roger was also relieved.

Because he no longer has to worry that taking the soul gem will cause unknown disasters in the two universes. The gem is the two universes themselves, so as long as Roger protects the gem, he can guarantee the safety of the two universes.

"Now I'm a veritable guardian."

Roger sighed helplessly.

With the soul gem in his hand, Roger doesn't want to protect these two universes, unless he doesn't want the gem anymore.

"It's time to go back."

The Red Skull disappeared, and Roger knew through the induction of the soul gem that the Red Skull had disappeared.

His mission all along is to guard the soul gem and wait until the person who is qualified to obtain the soul gem arrives.

Now the Red Skull is waiting for Roger. The moment Roger gets the soul gem is the moment he completes his mission and the moment he dies completely.

After three seconds of silence to the Red Skull guarding here, Roger looked down at the soul gem on his chest, activated the power of the soul gem, and left from this special space.

The soul gem has been obtained, and now Roger needs to get the time gem and the space gem that Andrea took.

The time gem is in the hands of Gu Yi, as long as Roger explains the situation to her, she will probably give the time gem to Roger.

The only trouble is the space gem. So far, Roger doesn't know where the space gem was taken by Andrea. To find the space gem, in Roger's view, it may take a lot of time.

Although... Roger has some guesses about the location of the space gems in his heart, but whether the specific guesses are accurate will wait until all the gems are collected.

It didn't take much time for Roger to return to X Academy from the special space. After getting the soul gem, as long as Roger wants, he can appear in any position of the two universes.

In the Academy of Mutants, Tony was still researching something related to the Sentinel. Roger took the time to glance at him and found that he had already applied some of the Sentinel's technology to his armor.

Presumably it won't take long for Roger to see the appearance of the Mark armor that can display superpowers, provided that Tony is willing to install superpowers on his armor.

Seeing that Tony was busy, Roger didn't bother him.

He came to Charles' room, met Charles again, and said to him:
"I got the soul gem."

"So fast?"

Charles, who was correcting the text, froze and made a surprised sound.

From the time Roger left to search for the soul gem until now, it probably didn't even take an hour, that is, a few 10 minutes. As a result, Roger found the soul gem. This speed made Charles even wonder if Roger was joking.

But Charles also knew that Roger would not joke about such a thing, so after being surprised, Charles asked:

"You got what you wanted, so our 'deal' can start?"

Roger nodded:

"Okay, I'll find a suitable planet for you to live in right now, but you also need to make preparations on your side. I don't want to wait until I reach a new place, and there are mutants clamoring to come back."

"Don't worry, I won't let this happen."

Charles replied.

There was a little excitement in his tone, because Charles knew very well that the mutants in their world would finally have a home that truly belonged to them.
