Chapter 1082: Chapter 801: Tell Me, If You Sacrifice Your Senior, Can You Get the Soul Stone? (2)

"..."

Red Skull’s gaze began to drift somewhat.

Damn it...

This little thing is really putting on a show!

Just hearing the news of Hydra caused the once dead calm soul within Red Skull to tremble slightly. After so many years, how did Hydra develop to this point?

What’s going on?

How did Hydra become so formidable?

Was it the fault of him being the leader back then?

Or did they win their war in the end?

All these years, Red Skull had been on Vormir Star, gaining much knowledge about the universe, and had long ceased to care about Hydra’s little store of resources...

But...

With Uehara Naraku saying all of this...

Red Skull watched the face of Uehara Naraku, who was putting on a fanatical performance, and spoke with an even tone: "So, you’re saying you need the power of the Soul Stone?"

"Yes, very much so!"

Uehara Naraku quickly nodded, seemingly becoming excited merely by hearing the news of the Soul Stone: "Right now, our power is still insufficient to deal with a few interstellar civilizations in the universe, and obtaining the Infinity Stones is the fastest way to enhance our strength!"

"You’ve chosen the right path."

Red Skull’s eyes revealed a trace of relief.

Only after stepping out of Earth did Red Skull realize what the Infinity Stones truly meant; it’s the quickest method for Earth to overtake other interstellar civilizations...

Hydra...

Still has some merit...

Unbelievable, the organization he once ruled still exists, and has even developed to this extent...

Red Skull vaguely felt that fate had once again aligned with him, as long as he could escape the curse of the Soul Stone and leave Vormir Star...

As long as he could follow this junior named Uehara Naraku to leave here and return to Hydra, as long as he could reclaim the power of Hydra, as long as he could once again become the leader of Hydra...

The only problem now...

Is probably the trouble of taking away the Soul Stone.

Generally, Hydra members are all cold-blooded; do they truly have important people? To Red Skull, the ones important to him were those scientists...

Don’t be fooled by this little guy called Uehara Naraku looking so easygoing, Red Skull knew this little bastard had been flattering him solely because he had clues to the Soul Stone...

"To obtain, one must pay."

Red Skull slowly hovered upward, watching Uehara Naraku, he spoke in a deep voice: "Since you’ve come alone, it’s fundamentally impossible for you to get the Soul Stone..."

"Why?"

"Because it requires someone to pay a price for it."

Red Skull looked at Uehara Naraku’s bewildered expression and continued in a deep voice: "The Soul Stone holds an esteemed position among the Infinity Stones, with its unique intelligence. It wants its possessor to understand its power, so it will require those who wish to obtain it to make a sacrifice..."

As he spoke these words, Red Skull’s gaze gradually became solemn, and he continued, word by word: "...sacrifice the most important person. To obtain the stone, one must sacrifice the person they love most to gain its favor."

"..."

Uehara Naraku immediately fell into silence.

Red Skull believed he detected Uehara Naraku’s weakness; unexpectedly, Uehara Naraku suddenly interjected: "Mr. Schmidt, can sacrificing one’s predecessor work?"

"Hmm?"

Red Skull hadn’t figured out Uehara Naraku’s thought process.

"Heavenly Attraction!"

Just as Red Skull was still in doubt, Uehara Naraku suddenly extended his hand, and an eerie attraction abruptly pulled Red Skull into his palm!

"Mr. Schmidt..."

Uehara Naraku’s hand tightly gripped Red Skull’s throat, speaking seriously: "I came here alone, but now... aren’t there two of us on this planet?"

"..."

Damn it!

Red Skull instantly understood Uehara Naraku’s intention!

This bastard must be crazy!

Was fate doomed to make all Hydra leaders madmen? How could such a weirdo even think of sacrificing the Guiding Envoy of the Soul Stone!

"It’s different..."

Red Skull shook his head, rebutting in a muffled voice: "To the Soul Stone, I belong to it, I’m part of its existence. It’s like sacrificing your treasure to yourself to win your favor, would you be willing?"

"How would you know without trying?"

Uehara Naraku raised an eyebrow indifferently and continued: "Anyway, it’s just sacrificing one predecessor to me. If I eliminate you here, it also prevents you from competing with me for Hydra’s power..."

Uehara Naraku’s hand suddenly tightened on Red Skull’s throat, continuing softly: "Moreover, Mr. Schmidt followed the Third Reich and nearly led Hydra into the abyss... Now, sacrificing for Hydra’s revival can atone for your past sins!"

"..."

This little bastard!

Red Skull couldn’t help but curse inwardly.

This little bastard barely maintained his facade for ten minutes before showing his true colors; once he learned the whereabouts of the Soul Stone, he became so greedy and shameless...

Sure enough, there’s nothing good about Hydra!

Ten minutes later.

On the high altar of Vormir Star.

Uehara Naraku stood there, holding Red Skull by the neck. He looked at the bottomless abyss and released his grip, throwing his newly met predecessor off the altar!

"This isn’t going to work!"

Red Skull swiftly floated back up, roaring furiously at Uehara Naraku: "The wisdom of the Soul Stone won’t tolerate such tricks of yours..."

"How would you know without trying?"

Uehara Naraku picked up his neck again, forcefully tossing Red Skull again, and soul energy swirling in his palm quickly formed a pitch-black spear!

Uehara Naraku grabbed the spear and hurled it at Red Skull!

The once leader of Hydra was pierced through by the spear, forcibly pinned right in the center of the altar below!

"I told you, this isn’t possible!"

Red Skull lay at the altar’s base, shouting in rage, desperately trying to float his body up, only to find his soul unable to free itself from the spear!

"Foolish!"

"Don’t delude yourself!"

"Ignorant!"

"You bastard can never obtain the Soul Stone!"

"..."

The constant cursing from the base of the altar resonated upward.

It seemed that Red Skull, this Hydra senior who had spent over seventy years honing himself on Vormir Star, was not yet fully cultivated, still getting angry at what his junior, Uehara Naraku, had done.

Of course...

Regardless of who, facing such an incident, even with the best temperament, it’s unlikely they could restrain their temper, such an unexpected calamity was utterly infuriating...

"This kind of sacrifice doesn’t work?"

Uehara Naraku furrowed his brow in displeasure.

After a long while, there was still no movement on Vormir Star, except for the continuous angry cursing of Red Skull echoing around the altar, creating a rather desolate atmosphere.

This person...

Could curse so much...

Uehara Naraku, too lazy to deal with him, leapt to the highest point of the altar, contemplated for a while, then decided to choose the simplest method...

"Now!"

"Bring Ebony Maw’s soul to Vormir Star!"
