Thinking back to what he had done before, Vision's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, enduring unspeakable pain, "But it was still me who did it. Although it was only in the virtual space, I still killed my companions and trampled on their bodies."
"Were you conscious at that time?" Kyle wanted to know more details and try to find the disconnected clues.
Vision covered his head tightly and pointed a finger at the Mind Stone on his forehead. "Rather than being awake, it's better to say that my consciousness was forcibly stripped away, as if it were imprisoned in this gem. Then my body was dominated by a thought, and I could only watch myself run out of control."
Kyle thought for a moment and continued to ask, "Did you see the star map and the two space-time coordinates?"
Vision nodded, "I see, but I've never seen it before, so I don't know what it means."
Silence. The two of them fell into silence for a long time.
Finally, it was Kyle who broke the silence: "It seems that someone tampered with this Soul Stone a long time ago."
Vision clenched his fists tightly and said with difficulty: "I hate this feeling - the feeling of being manipulated, losing my mind, and attacking the people I love. So, here, I made a choice."
"What choice?" Kyle vaguely guessed something.
"I want to take this gem off my forehead." Vision pointed at the Mind Stone on his forehead. As if sensing what he was thinking, the Mind Stone glowed with a strange yellow halo.
Kyle frowned slightly: "You should know. It is the original stone that gave you new life and thoughts. It is a part of your soul. If the original stone is removed, you will probably die."
"I know, but if I don't get rid of this rough stone, I will be its slave for the rest of my life."
Vision's eyes were filled with pain. He punched the experimental table he was sitting on, and spider-web-like cracks immediately appeared on the table.
"Since you've made your choice, let me take care of this matter." Kyle took a deep breath. He knew that if he wanted to find a place to remove the stone from Vision's forehead, it would probably be that place...
The most technologically advanced place on Earth.
"But I have to wait until the end of this competition. If I don't win first place, the space stone will be given away." Kyle smiled helplessly. This was a hole he had dug for himself and it would take some time to fill it.
"There's no rush." Vision nodded in agreement.
Kyle and Vision went back to the watchtower, and when they returned to the main hall, the competition in the Kingdom of Cal had just decided the top eight contestants.
The contestants who advanced to the top eight, except Kyle and Doctor Strange, are: Ancient One, Yutong, Wanda, Hellfire, Deadpool, and Gluttony.
Gluttony is the top one among the Seven Sins. Kyle was not surprised that the card player leaning over it advanced to the top eight.
"Lucy was eliminated?" Kyle asked in surprise.
Logan smiled and said, "Yes. My mother met Wanda and surrendered directly, saying that she would give the young people more opportunities to hone their skills."
"She might be tired and want to rest early." Kyle smiled. These last few people did not surprise him.
However, from the beginning to now, the only person he could regard as an opponent was Gu Yi.
Just as Kyle was thinking about this, the mechanical voice of the Lord God System sounded in his ears:
"The competition for the top four has officially begun. The first match is between Master Ancient One and Yu Tong!"
"Oh? Interesting." Kyle's eyes lit up.
Chapter 648: Soul-centered, advance to the semi-finals
The first match of the quarter-finals is Gu Yi vs Yu Tong.
Random battle scene: rooftop of SHIELD headquarters!
Although it is located in the urban area of New York, it is isolated from the bustling city. There is a logo that looks like the letter A on one side of the wall.
This is the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D., on an open-air rooftop hundreds of meters high with a helicopter parking spot.
The two women stood on each side of the rooftop, facing each other. Although they were in a state of competition and confrontation, neither of them exuded murderous aura, nor did they have the spirit of competitiveness. They remained calm and indifferent, like pedestrians who met by chance on the roadside.
The cool and beautiful Yutong was wearing a cool long dress with the black hem fluttering in the wind, like a black rose blooming to its best period.
The cold Gu Yi, wearing a simple robe, stood on the edge of the rooftop with his hands behind his back, like a green lotus that could not blend into this world.
These two people have completely different appearances and temperaments, but when they stand together, they give people the illusion that they are very similar.
This is because Gu Yi and Yu Tong do have similarities.
After hundreds of years, Ancient One decided to protect the Earth from being swallowed by the dark dimension. Therefore, her actions will not change according to her own intentions. Everything she does, every step she takes, whether it is right or wrong, is just to protect the Earth.
Yutong was given a new life and meaning by Kyle. Since she was a child, she decided to be a sword in Kyle's hand. Therefore, she would not have her own intentions in her actions. As long as it was beneficial to Kyle, she would do it, and if it was harmful to Kyle, she would eliminate it.
Purity and simplicity are what make Gu Yi and Yu Tong similar. This purity and simplicity will make them stronger than anyone else when they fight.
This is also what Kyle found interesting after seeing the two of them compete against each other.
On the rooftop of the S.H.I.E.L.D. building.
"Do you want to make the first move, or should I?" Gu Yi asked softly.
"Let me go first. I know you are very powerful and can threaten my boss. If I let you take action, I might not have any room to resist."
Yutong is very self-aware. Besides, this battle is not for the boss, so she has no desire to win.
But she still wanted to give it a try.
Her strength had completely stagnated many years ago, as if she had been stuck in a barrier period and could no longer be further developed and enhanced.
This is largely due to her genes and abilities. You know, Yu Tong has been fighting until now with her rare blue-grade abilities, and she still maintains an invincible status under Kyle.
By fighting against the mysterious and powerful Ancient One, you may find an opportunity for a breakthrough.
When Yu Tong thought of this, silver light appeared in her eyes, and her feet left the ground, floating in the air half a meter above the rooftop.
"This is my strongest move. If you can break it, I will admit defeat."
As Yutong spoke, her beautiful eyes shone with the brightest silver light, her long black hair and skirt moved without wind, and the space around her seemed to freeze.
Faint silver ripples spread outward from her until they covered the entire rooftop, sealing off the dust, light, and even the air inside.
Gu Yi was also completely sealed and stared at Yu Tong motionlessly.
"what is that?"
Countless viewers outside stared with wide eyes in disbelief at the miraculous scene on the screen.
Yutong is like the god in that corner of the world on the rooftop, manipulating and sealing everything inside.
"Time stopped? Or space solidified?" Logan in the watchtower was shocked. He didn't expect that the little Lolita had surpassed him far and reached a height he looked up to.
"No, there is no concept of time and space." Staring at Yu Tong on the screen, Vision shook his head and cast a questioning look at Kyle beside him.
"That is a domain. It is Yu Tong's domain of mind. Only when one uses one's own mind to the limit can one achieve this."
