"Mr. Michael!"
Hela respectfully called out to Michael.
Hela was not surprised by Michael's sudden appearance, as she knew Michael possessed such abilities.
"Indeed, a soul body!"
Michael nodded, acknowledging her.
"But, it's also different from a typical soul body!"
"It seems your body has not been destroyed."
Michael did not immediately ask for the Soul Stone; instead, he scrutinized Hela's condition.
"Yes, Mr. Michael!"
Hela nodded respectfully.
No matter how presumptuous Hela might be in front of Odin, she dared not show any disrespect in front of Michael.
Not to mention that Michael was, in a way, Hela's savior; just the fact that Michael had been able to manipulate Odin so easily before made Hela dare not be insolent in front of Michael.
Moreover, the current Michael gave Hela an almost suffocating sense of oppression; this was the absolute might of an absolute powerhouse. Hela dared not harbor even a single negative thought, let alone anything else.
"After I used a special method to sacrifice Red Skull to the Soul Stone, I suddenly fainted."
"When I woke up, I was already in this state."
"But, strangely, I can still sense that my original body exists, as if it's sealed within my soul, yet I cannot make any contact with it; I merely have that sensation."
Hela respectfully recounted her feelings.
Michael paid no attention to Hela's mention of a special method, nor did he wish to know.
He just… felt a little pity for Red Skull, who probably hadn't even realized what was happening before Hela sacrificed him. Relying on the Soul Stone to become a guide, he had thought he would be immortal and indestructible until someone else mastered the Soul Stone, but then some crazy woman appeared from who-knows-where and actually sacrificed him as an offering. Just thinking about it, Michael could imagine Red Skull's bewildered expression at that moment. 233 "Although I've become like this, I have not failed in my trust and have obtained the Soul Stone you needed, Mr. Michael."
Hela opened her palm, where a gem emitting an orange glow lay, vaguely radiating a peculiar wave that brought peace to the soul.
"However, because I have now become the guide, although I can take the Soul Stone, I cannot give it to others."
"In fact, one could say that my life is no longer my own; instead, it is controlled by this original stone!"
Hela said, her face filled with sorrow.
Anyone who cannot control their own destiny, with it being controlled by a so-called stone, would wear an expression of utter despair.
Even Michael felt a momentary pity and sadness for Hela… "It's alright."
Michael chuckled, comforting her, "I've figured it out."
Michael carefully studied it and finally understood what was going on.
In fact, this had a similar effect to Michael imprinting his soul power onto the rules of space.
The difference is that while Michael actively branded himself and benefited from it, Hela was the one branded by the Soul Stone and was being driven by it.
"Give me the Soul Stone!"
Michael chuckled and simply took the Soul Stone, still glowing with an orange hue, from Hela's palm.
"It's that simple!"
Hela's eyes widened, somewhat incredulous.
However, after feeling her body instantly transform from a soul form back to its original state, Hela had no choice but to believe that Michael had indeed solved her problem and confusion.
"It's… that simple!"
Michael smiled.
Solving this matter was both difficult and simple.
Although the Infinity Stones are remnants from the explosion of the previous Universe, they are also the materialized products of the Universe's rules.
To drive an Infinity Stone, one needs Skyfather Level strength.
But as long as one reaches Single Universe Level, one can easily Master the Infinity Stones! This is because at the Single Universe Level, one begins to gain the ability to manipulate, cultivate, and even use the Universe's rules! Even if Odin and the Ancient One were present, they couldn't solve Hela's previous soul form problem, and the same was true for Odin when he was wearing the Destroyer Armor.
A pseudo-Single Universe Level, after all, has the prefix 'pseudo' and cannot be compared to a true Single Universe Level.
And Michael had just broken through to the Single Universe Level, enabling him to perform some simple manipulations and uses of the Universe's rule power! Even with just simple manipulation, Michael effortlessly erased the connection between the Soul Stone and Hela in an instant! It was… that difficult! Yet it was also… that simple!… "It really is solved!"
Hela sensed that the contract within her soul had dissipated.
"Finally, I don't have to worry about being erased!"
Hela was almost moved to tears.
With the hope of living, who would want to die?… "The Soul Stone."
"There are so many residual souls and fragmented souls in here!"
Compared to the overjoyed Hela, Michael looked at the Soul Stone in his hand with some surprise.
