Aaron stood on the seal, staring indifferently at the Infinity Gem in his hand. This universe held countless secrets, and the Infinity Gems were some of the most familiar. Each of the six gems had its own consciousness.
The moment this red gem touched his right hand, Aaron seemed to see the moment the universe was born, how a law became a singularity, and a singularity became a gem, born from the deepest darkness.
"An artifact that can reverse reality? This power is somewhat similar to Zeus's ability..."
The Zeus Aaron was referring to was, of course, the Zeus of the Saint Seiya world. Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus were all sons of the Titans Cronus and Rhea. After Zeus overthrew his father's rule and became Emperor of Heaven, he became the king of the entire Olympian pantheon. But one day, this mighty god suddenly entrusted the Earth to Athena, then vanished to the other side of Heaven. Not only that, but gods who had fought with the Olympians wearing God Cloths also disappeared with him.
"Where is that old guy now?"
Zeus's existence was a mystery, and his sudden disappearance was one of the reasons for the holy wars among the gods.
No one knew his true purpose. Now that Aaron had discovered such a magical artifact capable of changing reality, the mystery in his mind grew even more intense.
After obtaining the Reality Gem, Aaron crossed space and returned directly to his Underworld.
"Go on, build me a garden!"
Following Aaron's command, the Infinity Gem instantly transformed into a red nebula again, slowly drifting toward the Underworld. In just a moment, the gem created a massive garden at the location Aaron had indicated. Lush green flowerbeds adorned the entire world, and life, unlike that of the Underworld, was born there.
"It's a pity that life created with this power has no soul."
Aaron shook his head, then waved his hand and destroyed the life the Reality Gem had created. Life without a soul was incomplete, and the Underworld had no need for such imperfect life.
However, the moment Aaron destroyed them, the sound of a large explosion suddenly echoed in his ears.
"Hmm?"
Aaron used his divine telekinesis to instantly span countless times and spaces. Tracing the origin of this Infinity Gem's power, he found six strange points of light.
"Hmm? The singularities? The rest of the Infinity Gems?"
Dissatisfied, Aaron waved his hand, and the darkness that had filled his eyes disappeared. Everything around him became clear again. Countless stars and planets were born and destroyed again and again in the universe. After countless cycles of destruction and rebirth, six strange points of light slowly came into being.
"On this planet, besides the Time Gem on the Ancient One, there is another gem?"
The Reality Gem materialized a star map, and the star map marked itself with traces of the Infinity Gems. However, this universe was simply too large. The star map was incomplete; the location of the Soul Gem was only hinted at, because a more powerful energy enveloped that world. No matter how much the Reality Gem called, it couldn't seem to get a response.
"Huh? What is this?"
In the star map, there seemed to be a strange light spot. Something was approaching this galaxy and had even appeared in his perception range.
"Another gem?"
The Infinity Gems had their own connections. Each gem was a conscious, unique existence. The reality-distorting Aether particles had found him. The Time Gem, which could travel through time and to the past and future at will, was in the hands of the Ancient One. So for what purpose were these gems appearing?
"Rhadamanthys, send some Specters to these locations to find the Infinity Gems!"
Following Aaron's call, Rhadamanthys of Heavenly Noble Star instantly appeared in the Underworld. Aaron waved his hand, imprinting the memory of the Infinity Gems into Rhadamanthys's mind. Afterward, Rhadamanthys happily left the Underworld.
"For the Underworld, that's a good slogan..."
Aaron smiled slightly, then disappeared from the Underworld. "For the Underworld" was indeed an inspiring slogan. After all, this was their world!
Rhadamanthys's aura seemed to be much stronger now than when his energy was first restored. Thanks to Aaron's new decree, all the Specters, from the Three Underworld Judges to the lesser fighters, had to resume their Cosmo cultivation. Otherwise, they would be stripped of their Surplices and sent to suffer in the deepest pits of hell!
But for Aaron, the cultivation of Cosmo was too low-level. The gods of Olympus looked down on the Cosmo. Above the Cosmo was the will of the gods. Even if a universe was destroyed, a god would only die physically, and their soul would remain immortal. Moreover, a god's Cosmo was inherently superior to everyone else's. Among the entire pantheon, only Athena had cultivated the human Cosmo, reaching the eighth sense, which was considered a disgrace by the gods!
Meanwhile, in the North American branch of S.H.I.E.L.D., a glowing blue cube sat in a container. Many researchers in white coats stood around it. Suddenly, a terrifying aura was released from the cube. A surprised Dr. Erik successfully activated the Cosmic Cube!
"Success! Success!! Hahahaha! We finally succeeded!"
This coincided with the moment the Aether particles, led by the Reality Gem, radiated their energy throughout the universe. One Infinity Gem was activated, and the rest were now being called.
In the depths of the universe, a Chitauri flagship detected the strange energy and instantly locked onto its coordinates.
"Target found! Target found!"
"Attention, pilot and all crew members! Target locked! Target locked!"
Behind the Chitauri commander, a blue-skinned woman in a gray robe quietly folded her arms and ordered: "Target is Earth! Initiate jump drive!"
