In "Le pacte," Adam Warlock gathers the Infinity Watch—Drax the Destroyer, Gamora, Moondragon, and Pip—after they steal the Silver Surfer’s board, forcing him to seek refuge at Warlock’s base on Monster Island. With the help of the Surfer and the power of the Soul and Mind Gems, Warlock attempts a forbidden ritual to resurrect Shalla Bal, but the act tears open a rift in reality, unleashing demonic forces upon the dead planet where the team is gathered.

In "A la grâce de la mort," the Infinity Watch grapple with the aftermath of a sealed dimensional breach, having restored Shalla Bal’s body—only to find her soul missing. When Pip calls upon Death to help locate it, the journey takes a dangerous turn as the Silver Surfer’s unintended remark sends the entire group hurtling into Mephisto’s domain.

In "Bienvenue en Hades !", Adam Warlock finds himself ensnared in a cocoon of solid ash, while Mephisto holds Shalla Bal’s soul as leverage. The Silver Surfer, stripped of his former purity, offers his soul in her place—only to be rejected. As the Infinity Watch arrives to intervene, they’re swiftly overwhelmed. But when Warlock breaks free, he steps forward to face Mephisto in a desperate bid to reclaim Shalla Bal’s soul.

In "Les jeux sont faits," Adam Warlock faces off against Mephisto in a clash that traps the Silver Surfer and the Infinity Watch—Drax the Destroyer, Gamora, Moondragon, and Pip—inside mystic stone eggs, helpless to intervene. When Drax breaks free, the Surfer is buried under a rockslide, emerging to find the team gone. Though Mephisto spares him, he plants a mind-altering influence that turns the Surfer against his allies—until a vision of the restored Shalla Bal shatters the spell.
