[The Power Stone - Legendary Item
Aspect of the Universe = Power.
The Power Stone represents the aspect of power of the universe, when used it increases the user's physical abilities, allowing the user to manipulate energy, which, when used at full potential, has enough power to obliterate an entire planet when unleashed.
WARNING: Unlike the other stones, this one consumes energy when equipped, and will continue to consume energy for as long as the user has it equipped, be it mana, cosmic energy, or other, should the user have no energy to supply, the stone will consume HP, should the user have no HP, it will kill the user erasing it.
Recommended LEVEL = 220]
A warning, what a novelty, perhaps it's because of the stone's nature, but who cares, I mean, I had two infinity stones, and before the canon even started, how wonderful was that?
I would later see how big was the cost of having the stone.
"I guess it's time to equip it," I smiled, this last month had been wonderful for me, I guess in a way, I owned Juggernaut a lot, without his EXP reward, I would still be struggling on the high hundreds.
[Space Stone Unequipped]
Time to see the rewards on the Power Stone.

I pressed YES.

Power Ranking, well ain't that interesting.
If this was what I thought it was, it would help me a ton, I mean, if this really showed me how strong my enemies were, then I would be able to prepare accordingly.
So, without further ado, I pressed yes.

True Observe?
I already have something like that, unless this is an upgrade of sorts.
Let's check that.
[True Observe LV - MAX = This skill allows the user to quickly gather information about the enemy with a simple glance.
Nothing escapes your powerful sight!]
Not much to go by.
Perhaps I need to use it to see how it works.
Time to visit the Ancient One.
But first, let's see how much mana does the stone consumes anyways, I mean, it did have a warning.
[HP = 1,100,000/1,100,000
MP = 1,000,500/1,190,500]
1 % of my mana per second, when equipped.
Not bad, considering I regen exactly the same per second.
The real question is, how much mana would it consume when in real use.
I'll find out later.
For now, time to check what True Observe means.
—--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I opened a portal to the Ancient One, who upon my arrival sighed.
"Am I bothering?" I asked her.
"Not more than usual," she replied with a small chuckle, "So, in what can I be of assistance, Mr. Walker?"
Time to see how this power works.

"No, just wanted to test something out," I replied, closing the tab, True Observe was intrusive as fuck.
"Oh, and what were you testing?" The Ancient One smiled, index finger pressed upon her lip.
"Nothing," I chuckled, "See you later," I waved at her.
"I am sure that will be rater soon," She giggled, "Oh well, it is the price I pay for being so nice,"
"You are quite funny when you want to be," I snorted, opening a portal to my house.
"Well, in my youth, I was quite the comedian," She grinned ever so gently.
"I don't doubt it," I chuckled, stepping into the portal.
—-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[The Ancient One POV]
A vision had troubled me.
A sorceress of great power was hunting Alex.
One that had in her power, the darkest book of spells in all of existence.
The Darkhold.
I didn't doubt of Alex's power, in fact, he was already stronger than me in many ways, he only lacked the experience to back his power up.
The point was, I was confident in his power.
But, I was also wary of the power within the Darkhold.
And how could I not?
The Darkhold, also known as the Book of Sins, or the Book of the Damned, was an ancient book of spells that held unspeakable power. The book in its entirety was made of dark matter from the Hell Dimension, making it even more dangerous.
Some records even say it holds every dark spell in the universe.
Even those that have not been written yet.
The question was, what did that Witch wanted from Alex?
"I have no idea what you want from Alex little enchantress, but… you caught my attention and that… that was a mistake," No matter what she wanted with Alex, I would stop her, the Darkhold was enough reason to eliminate her, that she wanted to use it on Alex, that was just a bonus to convince me to act.

Author note: In the rankings, certain are not there cuss they exist in other timelines or dimensions and not here, if they happen to break the veil and enter this reality the ranking would be updated.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Morgan Le Fay POV]
Alex Walker was an anomaly, quite the delicacy if I say so myself, especially in this world full of disappointments, a dream come true.
Powerful, handsome, and mysterious. What else could a girl ask for?
Though I suppose he does have some… baggage in the form of two annoying little rats he happens to call his daughters, but I could deal with that, after all, I wanted him all for myself.
A powerful slave to do my bidding.
Sadly, I wasn't strong enough to subdue his will to mine, at least not on my own.
But he was worth the effort, and sometimes, a girl has to put some effort, am I right?
The Darkhold, the book that had the answers to all of my prayers, including the how-to subdue my man.
A book with the spell necessary to thraw the will of any man, but even with this, powerful tool in my hands, getting him would be difficult, his mental and mystical fortitude was so irrationally high, I needed more than the book.
I needed a source of magical power many times bigger than my own.
The Staff of One.
With it, alongside the Darkhold, controlling Alex would be a piece of cake, he would be mine forever.
There is only one thing that could possibly go wrong.
The Ancient One.
With her on the way, acquiring the Staff to power my spells was a fairly difficult manner, but I played for the long run, I could wait.
I had waited long enough already.
But first, let's have a talk with her, hehe.
—-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Alex Walker POV]
The Power Ranking.
It was, to say the least, super useful.
With it, I knew everyone's level, regardless of the fact if I knew them or not.
Well, when I say everyone's level, it's… not entirely accurate. Some levels didn't appear, instead giving me the ???, but considering who were behind those levels, well, I understood.
[Power Ranking - Current Universe
1 - The One-Above-All LV ????
2 - The Fulcrum LV ????
3 - The Living Tribunal LV ????
4 - The Heart Of The Universe LV ????
5 - The Phoenix LV ????
5 - Oblivion LV ????
6 - Infinities LV ????
7 - Eternity LV ????
8 - Death LV ????
9 - Infinity LV ????
10 - The Protege LV ????]
Those were just the top ten, some of them, I recognized. Others, not so much, like for example, Infinities, or The Protege, in all my life, I had never heard such names before, but nonetheless, they were there.
Thanos for example was in the top 400, ranking in the 318th place.
His level?
LV 371.
As for me, I was also in the top 400.
My rank?
397th.
Which was higher than I expected it to be.
Way higher.
Especially considering those above me in the ranks, and I am not talking about the top ten, they are far beyond me as of now, no, I was talking about the ones right above me, who were simply above me by a level, or two.
Of course, the rankings didn't account for things like the infinity stones and such, otherwise, my ranking would be higher, I guessed.
In the ranks, I saw beings like, Zeus, Aphrodite, Hera, Sun Wukong, and others, in fact, every mythological pantheon I would've thought was not real, was in the ranking, some of their gods, above Thanos, others below.
Even Yahweh was in the rankings, which brought up a lot of questions on itself.
But by what I could tell, the realm of the gods, or so-called gods, started around level two hundred.
But enough about that.
The Ranking while troubling, was not the matter at hand.
No, the matter at hand was what I encountered in the top 100.
Tiamut The Communicator, according to the rankings, and the library, inside the earth, there was a celestial incubating, one with already enough power to rank in the top 100 of the universe.
His level, higher than Odin's.
High enough to make Odin seem relatively weak in comparison.
"Well, just when I was starting to feel powerful," I snorted, I still had a long way to go.
—-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[The Ancient One POV]
I had managed to track the enchantress that was targeting Alex to an abandoned warehouse, a cliche move on her part, one that was obviously a trap.
Nonetheless, I had to confront whoever was hunting Alex, and if possible, deal with them.
Inside the warehouse, I walked and checked every corner and found nothing but a wall painted with blood, with a single word written in it, -I see you-
"Yao, what a surprise…" A voice seemingly coming from every direction spoke, each word uttered with extreme care.
"My my, I don't recall meeting you," I replied, the voice seemed to know me, but I didn't know her the visions were unfortunately clear, meaning this witch had access to the dark dimension, adding more trouble to already hazardous mix.
"Oh, well, you haven't not yet," I could feel her presence, she was behind me, yet she wasn't attacking, what games was she playing, I couldn't help but wonder.
With a sigh, I turned around to find the enchantress smiling at me, a cup of wine in her hand.
"You must be the one hunting Mr. Walker," I smiled at her, a smile of no emotion, but pure hostility, I now knew who she was, in hindsight, I should've have known, she was no other than Morgana, the Witch of Camelot, and the lost soul of the Dark Dimension.
"I am," She nodded, winking at me, "Excuse me, but where are my manners, my name is Morgan Le Fay, a pleasure to meet you,"
"Of that, I have no doubt, can't say I feel the same though," I replied staring at her.
"How rude," Morgana pouted, "Oh well, no matter,"
"What are you looking for with Mr. Walker?" I asked, any information she provided would work to undo her plans, even if the information was something she thought to be useless.
"A man to call my own," Morgana smirked, taking a sip of her wine. "A man willing to do as I say, of course, he doesn't have to do it willingly," she added with a sultry smile.
"You wish to enslave him?" I chuckled in a bitter tone, "Mr. Walker has… some bad experiences in the area, I doubt he will take this… offense in good nature,"
"No wonder you are single," Morgana pouted in reply, "A man can cry and say no, they can even throw a tantrum, but in the end, it's not him who has the last vote, it's me, after all, I know best."
"Merlin really wasted his time with you," I sighed.
"Perhaps," Morgana nodded, "But… you know I am right,"
"No, you are not, that is the sad part, you see… for the one who has the last vote as you call it here, it's me," I smiled at her, "I am, after all, the sorceress supreme,"
"A title with no weight," Morgana shot back.
"It weighs more than your corpse," I replied.
