Chapter Summaries

On Vormir, Feeney discovered that leaving Earth had freed his Golden Great Deduction Technique from the restrictions that had limited it, letting him create roses and a wooden cabin. He and Red Skull entered the cabin, while the Soul Stone questioned Feeney about his ability.

• Feeney asked Red Skull why the Space Stone had sent him to Vormir, but Red Skull could only guess that he had drawn too much energy from it.

• The Soul Stone asked Feeney how his ability worked, but he refused to explain and went inside the cabin; Red Skull followed him.

Fini persuaded the Soul Stone to channel its energy into the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, briefly advancing its evolution before it turned back into a card. Hoping to use Vormir as a place to train, he asked whether Red Skull could fight him, and the Soul Stone offered to give Red Skull a physical soul temporarily in exchange for Fini sending it back and later supplying the dragon with more energy.

• Fini asked the Soul Stone to give its energy to the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and it warned that the dragon might not withstand the power.
• Fini summoned the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and had it grasp the Soul Stone, whose energy made the dragon grow and crack its scales before it reverted to a card.

• Fini considered staying on Vormir to train and asked whether Red Skull could fight him, but the Soul Stone said Red Skull's only duty was to guide seekers.
