Boom!!!
High above the Cliff of Souls, a thick pillar of light suddenly appeared, bursting through the clouds and shooting straight down to envelop Jack and Rose.
Before the two jellyfish monsters could react, the light pillar seized them and yanked them violently down off the cliff—
"Ah——!!"
"Ah——!!"
Two screams rang out, fading away at the bottom of the cliff...
"...."
Ye Li turned his head to glance at the Red Skull, his look clearly saying—What the hell was that?!
"Mm...."
Red Skull pondered for a moment and said, "The Soul Stone has a will of its own... maybe even it couldn't stand to watch...."
"Huh?"
Ye Li pointed down the cliff. "So, the two I brought are just gone like that?"
Those people are gone, and the Soul Stone still hasn't shown itself...
Wasn't that basically cheating?
…..
"Do you take me for someone with endless patience?"
Ye Li shouted toward the clouds where the pillar had appeared, "You killed the ones I brought, so get out here already!"
Whoo~~
The clouds gave no response, only a teasing sound of wind...
"Heh~...."
Ye Li actually laughed in anger.
"I was going to play by your game rules and you still won't cooperate. Do you really think there's nothing I can do to you?"
"You won't cry until you see the coffin? Let's try it."
After muttering as if to himself, Ye Li stopped talking, his gaze sharpening as surging divine power erupted madly from his body and from the surrounding void—
In practically just a few microseconds, divine power spread at light speed, covering Vormir in a layer of purple-gold!
Wuen~
Wuen~
Wuen.....
Wherever the divine power covered, space cracked.
The whole of Vormir flickered unsteadily, as if it was about to slip out of the material universe...
"Th—this...!!"
Red Skull was so shocked by the sight that the black smoke under his cloak scattered and he plopped straight down onto the ground...
Could such terrifying might really be something an Earthling could wield?
If he could obtain even a tenth of this power—no... even just a hundredth!
Then Captain America and the like... would be nothing at all.
Boom!!!
Just as Red Skull reeled in shock, an orange burst of light suddenly erupted from the clouds and shot at top speed toward outer space!!
Clearly.
This was the Soul Stone refusing to yield to Ye Li, trying to escape the sealed-off Vormir.
"Only now you think of running? Don't you think it's a bit late?"
Ye Li merely closed his hand and Vormir vanished from that star region in an instant, leaving nothing but empty space behind...
…..
The Weaver's Divine Realm.
"Sigh... so boring...."
Clea sat on a star-river woven bridge, listlessly practicing a small spell.
Following Ye Li's instructions, Wanda would occasionally come in to check on Clea, and seeing her bored, even shared a few inconsequential spells.
But Clea still felt bored, even a bit nostalgic for when Ye Li had been around before...
Although Ye Li was always teasing her, it actually felt pretty nice...
….
"That guy hasn't made a move for a little while... he's probably forgotten about me..."
"What should I do from now on, just stay here waiting for someone..."
As Clea was muttering about Ye Li, she suddenly felt the sky above grow dark; a sky-covering shadow blocked the purple-gold starlight overhead.
"What's going on?"
Clea raised her head in puzzlement, then showed surprise. "Has that guy started devouring other planets too?"
When her uncle Dormammu devoured worlds in the past, she had opposed such behavior.
Seeing Ye Li do it now left her inexplicably uncomfortable...
"Judging by how desolate that planet is, it seems there's hardly any life left...
So, he really wiped it all out..."
The white-haired woman gazed at the planet overhead, a trace of disappointment in her eyes...
