Chapter 173 - countermeasures
Nolan’s expression changed slightly, but fortunately, he had just returned from space and his armor had not been taken off, so no one could see his expression.
“What happened?” He calmed down a little and asked back through the encrypted channel.
At the same time, he adjusted his mind and said to Skye with the most relaxed voice: “A cup of creamy coffee, thank you, use the bottle of beans that I brought back from Yunnan last month.”
“Got it, BOSS!” Skye turned the computer chair, gave a mischievous salute, and walked to the restaurant.
“It’s hard to say. In short, don’t show any abnormality, but don’t give that thing in your hand to anyone.” After Frank finished this sentence, there was the sound of flushing from the bathroom, and then he hummed the song as if nothing had happened. came out.
Nolan was silent for a few seconds, then took off his mask.
“Frank, put your business aside, I have an urgent job.” He shouted loudly, “Go to ‘that place’ with me, the devil wants to see you.”
……
Skyrim Province, Snowman City.
[Mares Banner] Tavern.
In a separate room, Nolan closed the door, opened a bottle of Nord Mead and handed it to Frank:
“It’s absolutely safe here, and no one can eavesdrop, unless they can send electromagnetic signals to another universe. Tell me, what happened at home?”
Frank ‘gudu’ took a big sip and wiped his mouth:
“I hope you don’t get too scared after listening to it. Except for me, the souls of everyone else in the base may have been partially replaced. In other words, they are no longer the people you know.”
“What does ‘partial replacement of the soul’ mean?”
“There is a remnant of Hydra called the Red Skull, and he possesses a treasure called the ‘Soul Gem’. With the power of that gem, in an operation last night, he modified all the watchmen’s Soul, except me.”
Frank succinctly stated what had happened in the last few days.
“Why are you okay?”
“Azura blessed me. At that time, I obviously noticed that there seemed to be some kind of cold energy intruding into my mind; but at a critical moment, a warm current came from the place where his artifact, the star of Azura was sealed, Resisted the invasion and saved me from bad luck.”
“Azura…” Nolan pondered for a moment: “Since that’s the case, it seems that we need to seek her help. Take a good rest, we’ll set off later and visit her at the altar.”
Azura is the **** of dawn and dusk, the mother of roses, and the queen of the night sky.
She is one of the few demon gods who are considered by mortals to have a certain kind of element, especially, she is one of the few demon gods who always maintains the image of a woman. (The devil can switch genders freely)
As a devil who never cheats, she can get what she wants and make things go in the direction she wants. Her altar is in the mountains west of Winterhold.
In Skyrim Province, Nolan usually wears the robe of an archmage as the locals do. At this moment, his clothes rustled in the cold wind.
“Azura, when you hear my call, please show up quickly!”
“Uh, shouldn’t we be more polite?” Frank was a little disturbed by Nolan’s words.
After all, Azura was the first existence who gave him power and helped him escape from the confinement of mortals. He has some faith in Azura.
“You can be more polite, but I don’t need it.” Nolan waved his hand: “Show up quickly, Azura, I need your help with something!”
The endless illusory and clear words suddenly echoed among the mountains, bringing bursts of snowflakes:
“Grab Genbao, don’t complete your mission, but make noise in my place?”
“I have something about the soul, and I need to ask for your opinion.” Nolan waved at Frank: “Tell her the story again.”
More than ten minutes later, Azura’s voice sounded again.
“That soul gem does not have the same function as my artifact. I guess it should also imprison countless souls in it. That person called Red Skull used this method to cut the ‘good’ part of their souls, Then artificially forged false souls to fill in. That way, these people will be controlled by him.”
“That is to say, if you want them to return to normal, you have to grab that infinity stone, right?”
“Yes, no. In all things in the world, the soul is the most complicated. Even if you can really get that gem, you may not be able to control it, nor will you release the original souls of your partners.”
Azura seemed to have resentment for what Nolan had done to her artifact before, and it sounded like sarcasm if she was emotionless.
But Nolan knew she was right, the Infinity Stones were not for everyone.
With the strength of Thanos, the power of a single gem needs to be controlled with the help of the infinite gloves, a matching artifact;
And the power gem, one of the six Infinity Gems, has been in his hands for more than ten days, and Nolan has also not figured out the key to using the power gem.
Even if he can kill the Red Skull and successfully grab the Soul Gem, he may not be able to restore the others to their original state.
Not to mention that in case the other party chooses to die, manipulate the soul gem to do extreme things before dying, such as the mass extinction of mankind. Then he would have to be blinded.
“Then what should I do?”
“Through that [game].” Azura returned.
“Game?” Nolan frowned slightly: “What game?”
“I understand.” Frank suddenly had an excited look on his face: “It’s the game that Xiao Fu and Peter played! Red Skull and others changed their souls through that game~www.mtlnovel.com~!”
“So it all makes sense…” he muttered to himself: “Their ‘virtual helmets’ don’t need energy, and they don’t need a host, because all virtual helmets are ultimately linked to that A gem! Red Skull and the others just want to use this method to wipe out all human beings through the virtual world!”
It took Nolan a few minutes to figure out what he meant.
Immediately he fell into thought.
“Since the red skull releases the energy of the soul gem through the signal line; can we find the inside of the soul gem in reverse and save the souls of Peter, Tony and Skye?”
“Should work. I remember Tony Stark once said that there is a small universe hidden inside the Soul Stone. It is possible that the game world is not really illusory, but actually exists in the universe inside the Soul Stone; and on the helmet The data line is just a bridge to the other-dimensional universe!”
Frank was completely excited: “Part of their souls must still exist in that universe. We can use the power of the soul stone to bring them back!”
He, who has always been cold, bowed to the altar:
“Thank you for your guidance, ma’am!”
