However, after thinking for a while, Syd still didn't dare to use the Cosmic Cube to travel to a so-called parallel world.

The Cosmic Cube was powerful, capable of traveling to nearly any location. Syd knew that with it, he could even reach different dimensions.

For example, the Dark Dimension where Dormammu resided, or even realms like Heaven and Hell!

Of course, traveling there was possible, but whether one could come back alive was another question entirely.

It was important to understand that dimensional deities were extremely powerful within their respective dimensions, much more so than they were outside of them. If one were unlucky enough to encounter one of these beings, there would be little chance of survival.

As for traversing parallel worlds, Syd wasn't sure if the Cosmic Cube could do that. Even if it could, he suspected it might be a one-way trip.

For instance, if he reached a parallel world and then the Cosmic Cube suddenly stopped working...

That said, Syd leaned towards believing that the Infinity Stones could still be used in parallel universes. The reason why they didn't work in the Time Variance Authority's domain was likely due to the unique nature of that space.

However, there was still a possibility, though small, that the Infinity Stones might not function in a parallel world. It wasn't impossible.

Until everything was tested, it remained an unknown. Syd wasn't willing to take that kind of risk by using the Cosmic Cube.

There were other, safer ways to travel to parallel worlds. Syd recalled that the portals of Kamar-Taj could achieve the same thing.

Compared to the Cosmic Cube, those portals were far more convenient and didn't carry the risk of failure.

Syd mused that, at some point, he should acquire a Sling Ring—the tool used to open these portals—and try it out.

For now, though, he decided to let it go.

After testing the Cosmic Cube, he turned his attention to the Mind Scepter on the other side.

As he gazed at the gem on the scepter's tip, Syd found himself lost in thought.

Each Infinity Stone carried its own side effects when used. The Power Stone's side effect was quite clear: just touching it could cause injury, and if one couldn't withstand its energy, they'd explode and die. Ordinary people couldn't use it.

The side effects of the Time Stone were unclear, though it was likely that each use impacted the flow of time to some degree.

When Doctor Strange first used the Time Stone, he tested it on an apple, which symbolized the forbidden fruit from the Bible—a metaphor for Strange's act of defiance.

Even the Ancient One warned Strange not to use the Time Stone recklessly.

It was clear that overusing the Time Stone could cause time-related logic to become chaotic, and in extreme cases, could lead to the collapse of the timeline.

Take, for example, a certain universe's version of Doctor Strange. Unlike the main universe's Doctor Strange, this one survived his car accident unharmed, but his girlfriend Christine died.

Desperate to bring her back, this Doctor Strange studied magic across the world and eventually became the Sorcerer Supreme.

With the Ancient One gone and no one left to stop him, he decided to use the Time Stone to reverse time and save Christine.

But no matter how many times he tried, Christine's death couldn't be avoided. She would always die in different ways—whether it was a car crash or being shot, various accidents would claim her life.

In his despair, the Ancient One, who had not yet died in that timeline, sensed his actions and appeared before him.

She explained that Christine's death was a fixed point in time, a crucial event that had to happen for Doctor Strange to become the Sorcerer Supreme.

Without becoming the Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor Strange would not have been able to save her in the first place. Thus, Christine had to die, and the timeline's logic closed in on itself.

Originally, if the Ancient One hadn't intervened, Doctor Strange might have accepted reality after a few days of grieving. But her explanation gave him renewed hope.

After all, the Ancient One had taught him that "anything is possible."

Doctor Strange thought that if a fixed point in time was the issue, there must be a way to overcome it. Nothing was truly absolute in the eyes of a sorcerer.

To this end, Doctor Strange traveled through time to an ancient, lost library, where he indeed found a method to alter fixed points in time. The solution was simple: immense power.

For a sorcerer, obtaining power was easy, whether by borrowing from dimensional deities or other means.

The easiest method was to absorb mystical creatures using dark magic.

So, Doctor Strange created a summoning circle, calling forth and absorbing mystical creatures one after another. His power grew rapidly, but as he absorbed more, he gradually lost his humanity.

With enough power, everything became simple. Doctor Strange forcibly used the Time Stone to bring Christine back to life.

Unfortunately, those who tamper with time often find themselves at the mercy of it. Christine was resurrected, but the universe began to unravel, entering a state of collapse!

Not even the near-omnipotent Doctor Strange could stop the destruction of the universe.

In his immense power, Doctor Strange even became aware of the Watcher—a being who silently observed the universe's development but never intervened.

Sadly, despite Doctor Strange's pleas for the Watcher to save his universe, the Watcher, true to his nature, simply watched in silence as the universe headed towards its destruction.

During this time, the Watcher warned Doctor Strange that disrupting the flow of time would only lead to greater ruin.

In the end, Doctor Strange could only watch helplessly as his universe was destroyed, powerless to do anything…

Just like how, in the future, Tony Stark sacrificed himself with a snap of his fingers, and Doctor Strange couldn't use the Time Stone to bring him back.

If Tony were resurrected by reversing time, the logic of his snap, which erased Thanos and his army, would be undone. Thanos and his forces would return, resetting everything to the way it was before...

In a way, the Time Stone's side effects might seem subtle, but when they occur, they can be the most terrifying of all.

Of course, this doesn't mean there is no power that can defy logic.

Syd thought about it and couldn't help but recall Chaos Magic.

Unlike the Time Stone, Chaos Magic's reality-altering power truly defied logic, forcefully changing everything without causing reality to collapse. It could bend logic to its will.

This demonstrated that the essence of Chaos Magic was of a far higher level.

At least, the problems of time logic weren't an issue for Chaos Magic, and it wouldn't cause a breakdown in reality.

Unfortunately…

"Unfortunately, my ability to alter reality with Chaos Magic is still passive. Who knows when it will appear…"

Syd thought with a hint of regret.

Of course, it's not that Chaos Magic's reality-altering ability had no pattern. The more unstable one's mental state was, the more likely Chaos Magic would run rampant.

The more unstable the emotions, the stronger Chaos Magic became…

For instance, when he turned the Sentinel robots into butterflies, that was merely a normal trigger, far from a true rampage...

"Too bad I don't have a mental illness. If I did..." Syd couldn't help but sigh.

As for the Space Stone, or the Cosmic Cube, its side effect was instability, occasionally causing uncontrollable surges.

When it came to the Reality Stone…

Syd thought back.

Roughly speaking, when the Reality Stone was in its Aether form, it would automatically seek out a host, invading their body. If the host couldn't withstand such immense power, they would die.

"I wonder what would happen if the Reality Stone used me as a host?"

Syd was curious as he recalled something from the past.

In Thor: The Dark World, Jane, the woman who had fought alongside Thor during the battle with the Destroyer armor, had accidentally stumbled upon the Aether in an unknown dimension and became its host.

An ordinary person like Jane becoming the host of the still-liquid Reality Stone had disastrous consequences. If it wasn't extracted, she would have died.

Although the Aether was eventually removed from her, Jane later developed cancer, likely due to the radiation emitted by the Reality Stone.

Scientifically speaking, it was probably the gamma rays from the Infinity Stones that caused Jane's cancer.

And because of the cancer, she eventually passed away...

"If it were me, it wouldn't matter…" Syd shrugged it off, unconcerned.

It was just cancer, after all. With so much already happening to him, a little more wouldn't hurt. At most, it would be a minor inconvenience—nothing too serious.

Thinking of this, he glanced at his remaining lifespan. Thanks to the appearance of divine light energy, his lifespan had increased again, now up to 141 days.

Overall, cancer wouldn't be able to kill him anytime soon. He imagined that whatever ancient gods were behind it must be feeling confused by now.

Syd thought this with a sense of amusement.

As for the Soul Stone and the Mind Stone…

The side effects of the Soul Stone weren't clear, but it likely required the sacrifice of a loved one to obtain it, or it could be tied to the stone's own consciousness.

This stone could steal, manipulate, or alter souls. It not only controlled the souls of the living but could even command the dead.

If the user was powerful enough, they could even create souls from nothing.

Unlike the other stones, the Soul Stone had its own consciousness, which was incredibly hungry and craved souls.

Syd frowned as he pondered this.

In the future, Thanos sacrificed Gamora to obtain the Soul Stone, falling unconscious during the process. When he woke up, the Soul Stone was in his hand.

Who knew what strange things the stone had done?

Syd sneered at the thought.

"Following the rules? Who knows what kind of trap the Soul Stone might spring. Only a fool would do that…"

Following the rules was something only those without enough power did. If it were him, Syd would simply destroy the entire planet of Vormir, where the Soul Stone resided. He didn't believe the stone wouldn't appear after that.

And even if it didn't, with the help of the Mind Stone and other Infinity Stones, he was sure he could find the Soul Stone eventually.

Once found, it would be easy. Syd speculated that with his mastery of Chaos Magic, he could completely erase the Soul Stone's so-called consciousness.

After all, Chaos Magic was powerful enough to destroy the stone itself, let alone its consciousness.

Moreover, Chaos Magic was deeply connected to mental powers, and once he grew strong enough, not even Professor X would be a match for him.

Glancing at the Cosmic Cube in his hand, Syd couldn't help but feel tempted to try.

As long as he had a clear image in his mind, the Cosmic Cube could take him to Vormir, where the Soul Stone resided!

However, his current strength wasn't enough. If he went now, he would at best be able to enjoy the view—and at worst, fall victim to the Soul Stone's trap.

He would have to wait until his Chaos Magic reached level five to be confident enough to go there.

As for the last stone, the Mind Stone, Syd turned his gaze to the Mind Scepter in his hand, frowning slightly.

The scepter not only controlled people's minds but also seemed to subtly influence its user.

However, due to the presence of Chaos Magic, the Mind Stone alone wasn't enough to affect him without him noticing.

Compared to the Mind Stone, Chaos Magic was the real game-changer.

Syd furrowed his brow in contemplation.

He had a feeling that something was off with the Infinity Stones, and perhaps, aside from the Soul Stone, the other stones also had a certain degree of consciousness.

For example, several decades ago, when Captain America fought Red Skull, Red Skull had touched the Cosmic Cube with his bare hand and was instantly transported to another galaxy.

It was likely that he had been sent to Vormir, the location of the Soul Stone, and somehow died in the process, becoming a wraith.

It was clear that Red Skull had been enslaved by the Soul Stone, becoming its guardian and tasked with explaining the price of obtaining the stone to anyone who sought it.

Everything revolved around the Infinity Stones. To say that none of the other stones had similar issues seemed highly unlikely to Syd.

"Whatever, once my Chaos Magic reaches level five, I'll cleanse them all."

Syd thought dismissively.

He didn't believe that the Infinity Stones could withstand the purification of Chaos Magic.

For now…

Syd casually picked up the Mind Scepter.

Later, he caught a large wild boar and began his experiment.

As expected, the scepter's mind-control abilities worked flawlessly, and under his control, the wild boar became extremely obedient.

Unfortunately, this ability wasn't particularly useful. Anything the Mind Scepter could do, Chaos Magic could do as well.

Syd knew the issue lay in his crude, superficial way of controlling the Mind Stone.

Like the Time Stone, it would require specific magic to truly unlock the Mind Stone's full potential.

That said, even as things were, Syd could feel his own mental strength being amplified while using the scepter.

From this moment on, no one could influence him mentally.

In essence, his mental power through Chaos Magic had reached level five ahead of time.

After testing both the Cosmic Cube and the Mind Scepter, Syd's attention shifted to his energy points.

"I've accumulated over twenty thousand energy points. I wonder if I can unlock Baldr's new abilities?"

"Divinity, dominion, or something else?"

Syd's eyes gleamed with curiosity.

Just as he was about to invest his energy points into unlocking progress, a rumor began circulating in a distant galaxy.

No one knew where the rumor had started, but it spoke of planet C-53, or Earth, and mentioned the emergence of two incredibly powerful individuals.

Even major alien forces, like the Kree and the Supreme Intelligence, had heard of this rumor.

Even the Guardians of the Galaxy, far away in space, including Star-Lord, had caught wind of the story.
