This had its pros and cons. The upside was that Harry no longer had to worry about the afterlife running out of space and insurance services becoming unable to pay out. Even Heaven and Valhalla had to expand with extreme caution.
For the Goddess of Death, receiving tens or even hundreds of billions fewer souls was hardly noticeable. Among the countless Multiverses of the Marvel Universe, Harry could guarantee that there was only one Osborn Group like this.
So for a long time to come, there was no need to worry about being discovered by the Goddess of Death.
But the downside was that once those gods discovered that souls within their jurisdictions had truly vanished, or were not even in the Marvel Universe... things would become troublesome. If he was unlucky, those gods might attack him outright.
Harry looked at the sphere formed by the Soul Stone and said, "I want to make a deal with you."
"What kind of deal?"
"I need someone to guard the gate to the afterlife under my command. Don't you like doing that sort of thing? I think you'd be perfect for the position."
As for the payment, naturally, it would be watching those souls' pasts and experiencing their emotional shifts—the Soul Stone loved doing that.
Jurisdiction over souls within the Marvel Universe was extremely complicated, but simply put, it could be divided into several levels: the Goddess of Death was at the top, followed by the Soul Stone. As an Infinity Stone, its power was not to be underestimated. A single Soul Stone could be considered the Goddess of Death's gatekeeper.
Only after that came those independent "gods."
The souls collected by those independent afterlife worlds could not be considered truly dead, so naturally they would not be "peeked at" by the
