As the Chitauri commander reported the failure of the invasion of Earth and the presence of formidable enemies, Thanos' mood darkened.
Then, the commander continued, "If it were only them, I might have been able to handle it, but among them…"
Pausing for a moment, the commander resumed, "Among them was one particularly troublesome figure. I couldn't deal with him—neither I nor the entire army could do anything against him."
"What did you say?" Thanos' voice, filled with surprise, came through the communication link.
At first, Thanos thought his subordinate was simply making excuses to avoid responsibility for their defeat, but the more the commander spoke, the more exaggerated it seemed.
"Even you and the entire army couldn't handle him?"
Hearing the growing frustration in Thanos' voice, the Chitauri commander hurriedly explained, "Master, I'm not lying. This is the truth!"
He continued, "He is an Omega mutant. His name is…"
As the commander spoke, he sent over some data about the Omega mutants—Messiah and the White-Clad Stranger—through the communicator.
Thanos casually glanced at the information, not paying it much mind at first.
But after just a few seconds, as he skimmed the details, his purple-skinned face, which resembled a giant prune, showed a noticeable change in expression.
An Omega mutant called Messiah?
Destroyed a human city in mere moments?
Thanos began to question everything he knew.
Could a creature from Earth really possess such power?
And this White-Clad Stranger? Supposedly, with just a single word, he could erase entire hordes of enemies from existence…
What made this even more terrifying was that the enemies mentioned weren't just ordinary foes. According to the information, these enemies were powerful constructs called Sentinels, a type of advanced mechanical war machine.
Yet, these seemingly invincible machines were, as the report described, wiped out like mere bubbles by a single word from the White-Clad Stranger. And it wasn't just a few Sentinels—it was entire groups of them, obliterated in an instant.
One video clip in particular caught Thanos' attention: the Sentinels turning into sand, and then transforming into colorful butterflies. It was almost whimsical in its impossibility.
Even Thanos, the conqueror of worlds, was momentarily shaken.
"Even I haven't seen power like this before…"
"Omega mutants, such extraordinary beings… such extraordinary power…"
Of course, Thanos' mind immediately jumped to something else—something that might explain the source of this god-like power.
He recalled the Reality Stone, or as it was currently known, the Aether. It existed in liquid form and held the same kind of surreal abilities.
Only the Reality Stone could wield such mysterious and awe-inspiring powers!
In his mind, Thanos replayed the knowledge he had gathered about the Reality Stone, an Infinity Stone he had long coveted.
In theory, with the Reality Stone, one could transform any fantasy into reality, no matter how impossible. Through its power, it could erase, warp, or modify reality, turning dreams and abstract concepts into tangible existence.
Perhaps, the Reality Stone was the most powerful of the Infinity Stones, but it was also the most difficult to control.
Thanos knew well that this stone couldn't be used in isolation. Without the support of the other Infinity Stones, using the Reality Stone alone could lead to catastrophic consequences.
Most of the time, the realities created by the Reality Stone were illusions, not true realities.
It only conjured realities that hadn't occurred—realities without a foundation. These false realities required constant energy to maintain. Once that energy ran out, the created realities would dissipate.
To fully transform these illusions into permanent reality required an unimaginable price.
Thanos also recalled hearing rumors about the Dark Elves of Svartalfheim. Supposedly, they had been searching for the Aether—the Reality Stone—hoping to return the universe to its primordial darkness.
In that era, darkness was the dominant force, and the Dark Elves thrived. But after the universe was flooded with light, they could no longer survive…
Thanos knew that the Dark Elves' ambition was a futile dream. Even if they found the Reality Stone, the reality they created would be fleeting.
Likewise, his grand plan to eliminate half of all life in the universe would also require the combined might of the other Infinity Stones, with the Reality Stone playing a crucial role in making that vision come true.
Only through the Reality Stone could he erase half of all life from existence…
Yet now, Thanos had stumbled upon something that shook him to his core—a mere Earthling, an Omega mutant, possessed power reminiscent of the Reality Stone?
For a moment, he wondered if the Reality Stone was hidden within this person.
Thanos had a rough idea of where the other Infinity Stones were located, but the Reality Stone remained elusive, its location a mystery.
However, upon further examination of the video, Thanos dismissed the idea that the White-Clad Stranger was wielding the Reality Stone.
There were no signs of any Infinity Stone being used by the Omega mutant.
Besides, there was another piece of evidence that solidified this conclusion, something even more shocking.
The Chitauri commander had sent him a video featuring a butterfly—a butterfly captured by one of Earth's so-called superheroes, Natasha.
This butterfly had been kept and studied after the battle.
During its time under observation, human scientists had examined the butterfly, confirming that it was indeed a living organism with no signs of abnormality.
Incredibly, as of the time the Chitauri commander sent the data, the butterfly was still alive.
And yet, the most astonishing aspect of the butterfly wasn't its vitality—it was its composition. It wasn't made of flesh and blood, but of silicon dioxide, the primary component of sand.
In other words, this was a silicon dioxide-based lifeform, something entirely unprecedented on Earth.
Seeing this data, Thanos was left in awe.
He understood the implications. This young Omega mutant had, through sheer will, reshaped something into the exact form he desired.

Upon realizing this, how could Thanos not be shocked?
This person was almost equivalent to a living Reality Stone!
In fact, compared to the Reality Stone, this individual's reality seemed to exist continuously!
This kind of power...
One could say, it's even more terrifying than the Reality Stone!
Is this the Omega-level mutant's Omega ability?
Especially since, according to the data from the Chitauri commander, it was noted that the Cosmic Cube and the Mind Scepter had already been taken by this Omega mutant.
In that instant, even as the ruler of the universe, Thanos felt that this situation was becoming troublesome.
How could he retrieve those items from this person?
Thanos pondered ways to accomplish this.
At this moment, he noticed a speculation about the Omega mutant, the white-clad hero, in the collected information.
Suspected to be the son of the Allfather, Odin?
This young man was actually an Asgardian god?
Thanos was utterly astonished.
After his initial shock, his eyes flickered as a plan began to form in his mind.
The Dark Elves of Svartalfheim wanted to invade Asgard, to overthrow its rule...
Perhaps he could use them to weaken the background forces of this Omega mutant. Even if it was only a suspicion, weakening his opponent's support would make things easier later.
Moreover, if Asgard were to be destroyed, it would work in Thanos' favor. If Asgard remained, it would be an obstacle to acquiring the Infinity Stones on Earth.
As Thanos thought about this, he considered what kind of help he should give to the Dark Elves.
Even if they failed, diminishing Asgard's strength would still be beneficial...
While he pondered this, the Chitauri commander nervously said, "Master?"
After waiting for a long time without hearing a response, the commander's heart sank, thinking Thanos was displeased with him and perhaps even planning to punish him.
Luckily, Thanos' voice soon came through the communicator.
"I understand the situation."
Hearing this, the Chitauri commander breathed a sigh of relief.
He then asked what to do next.
"I'll handle the Omega mutant. You just take care of what I told you to do…"
While Thanos gave orders to the Chitauri commander, Syd was on the other side, experimenting with the Cosmic Cube.
Under the bright sun, golden rays shone on the blue Cosmic Cube.
As Syd gazed at the cube in his hand, he fell into deep thought.
Having the Cosmic Cube and the Mind Scepter just sitting around seemed like a waste if he didn't try to use them.
"How do you use this thing?"
After a moment of contemplation, Syd decided to try infusing photon energy into the cube, all while Venom watched closely.
The moment the divine photon energy made contact with the Cosmic Cube, something unexpected happened.
A blue light exploded!
Boom!
A massive surge of energy erupted from the Cosmic Cube, forming a powerful shockwave that spread in all directions.
In an instant, Syd was struck by the energy from the cube.
[Reflective Shield Experience +1]
Luckily, his reflexes were incredibly fast, and under Venom's terrified gaze, Syd cast a reflective shield, blocking the cube's energy wave.
Though he managed to shield himself, the ground around him wasn't so lucky.
Looking at the Cosmic Cube, now on the ground, and the chaotic scene around him, Syd felt a bit helpless.
It seemed that trying to control the cube with energy had failed. Luckily, he was strong enough—an ordinary person would likely have been obliterated.
Still, he had gained something from the attempt. When his photon energy made contact with the cube, his mental energy had also extended into it, establishing a faint connection with the cube. It seemed he now had a chance of controlling it.
Carefully, Syd picked up the Cosmic Cube, ensuring he didn't inject any photon energy this time. No surprises occurred.
Next, he readied his reflective shield and let his mental energy flow into the cube.
This time, no accidents happened, and his connection with the cube deepened.
At the same time, a strange feeling arose within him, similar to the sensation of using spatial transfer.
It felt as though, at this moment, he could use the Cosmic Cube to travel anywhere.
Syd's mind stirred, and the image of the moon appeared in his thoughts.
In the next instant, the cube glowed blue, releasing energy.
Then, with a ripple in space, Syd vanished from where he stood, reappearing in a barren landscape—on the surface of the moon.
He looked around at the surrounding darkness, recognizing the deep expanse of space.
As soon as he arrived, Syd felt light, as if he could float away at any moment, but then a discomfort welled up inside him.
His expression changed, and a second later, the Cosmic Cube glowed again, instantly teleporting him back to his previous location.
"Whew…"
Syd exhaled a sigh of relief.
After a few seconds, he quickly recovered.
"It seems that with my current body, I can survive in outer space for a short time, but staying there too long would still be fatal…"
Syd shook his head, feeling a bit disappointed.
Of course, this didn't mean his body was weak—if an ordinary person were to appear on the moon, they'd die instantly!
Whether from sudden weightlessness or pressure changes, any ordinary human would be killed...
But unlike them, he only felt discomfort, and after a brief recovery, it was as if nothing had happened. It just showed how much stronger his fourth-level godly body was compared to a regular human.
Syd speculated that when his godly body reached the fifth level, he might be able to survive in space for extended periods.
Perhaps even live there permanently, without needing water or food...
At this moment.
"That scared me…"
Venom, exposed on his arm, looked terrified, its small black head filled with fear.
Glancing at it, Syd paid no mind.
Venom was an alien lifeform, already capable of surviving in space, so there was no need to worry about it.
In fact, the oxygen humans needed was more of a burden for Venom.
As he thought about it, Syd looked at the Cosmic Cube in his hand, a smile forming on his face. "With this, traveling to different places will be much easier…"
He wasn't just talking about ordinary places; even traveling to the sun, standing side by side with it—or going to another galaxy—was possible!
However…
Syd suddenly thought of something important.
"Speaking of which, can the Cosmic Cube help someone travel to parallel worlds?"
At that moment, a look of curiosity and anticipation appeared in his eyes, and he couldn't resist the urge to give it a try.
