The Space Stone is an artifact of primordial majesty—an Infinity Stone that grants its wielder absolute sovereignty over spatial dimensions.
It allows a user to exist anywhere in the universe instantaneously, bridging the gap between galaxies in a heartbeat.
Its portfolio of power is staggering: the creation of stable portals, the teleportation of vast amounts of matter across the cosmos, the manipulation of gravity, and the terrifying ability to warp the very fabric of space for both interstellar travel and tactical combat.
Because the Stone holds absolute dominion over the spatial plane, Ethan knew he couldn't simply deploy a Sling Ring portal to intercept the incoming army.
If he attempted to open a giant gateway at the mouth of the wormhole to redirect the invaders, the Space Stone would perceive the intrusion and act as a natural destabilizer, collapsing his mystic construct like a house of cards.
Furthermore, the Stone is theorized to possess infinite energy; even a minor spatial mishap while it remains in its current excited state could trigger a chain reaction resulting in the total annihilation of the island of Manhattan, similar to what happened at Shield headquarters but much worse.
Ethan recalled his past fight against The destroyer. Mahoraga had previously required seven turns of its wheel to fully adapt to a direct blast of the Odinforce.
Given the cosmic nature of the Tesseract, Ethan calculated it would take a similar—or perhaps even shorter—number of cycles for the Divine General to adapt to the Space Stone.
Once the adaptation was complete, Mahoraga would be able to cleave through the "impenetrable" energy shield, while a buffed Tora worked to stabilize the resulting rupture in the energy field.
In the end, it took exactly three minutes thirty three seconds. For a Mahoraga accelerated to nearly thirteen times its normal speed by Ethan's Binding Vow.
Ethan looked back down toward Loki. The Sorcerer Prince was gazing frantically across the battlefield, which had fallen disturbingly quiet. Only two levithans remained from the original 25 and the foot soldiers are few and far between.
Sensing the ground war was nearly over , Ethan compressed the boundary of his domain to a mere 0.000001 m and dismissed his Aries gravity sheep;
The hundreds of Ryujin and his Moth shikigami already patrolling the area were more than enough of an overkill.
Then, with a sudden snap of Nue's wings, he soared upward into the sky.
As he ascended toward the void, his mind was clear.
He was going to send a message to Thanos, or any other galactic warlord currently casting a greedy gaze toward Earth.
Ethan Park was about to perform a technique he had never even attempted in training—it was simply too devastating to test.
In his left hand, he gripped a longbow forged from the scrap of the Destroyer Armor, imbued with the Great Serpent, Orochi.
It was a weapon possessing an unbreakable string and momentum taut.
In his right, he held an arrow. It wasn't one of his standard momentum-based projectiles; it was a shaft made of Destroyer metal.
Ethan rarely utilized such a precious, indestructible material for something as expendable as an arrow, but the normal metal would simply soften by what he was planing.
As he reached the precipice of the wormhole, hovering at the threshold of deep space, Ethan did something he rarely felt the need to do: he began to chant.
In the world of Jujutsu, incantations are a critical component used to significantly amplify the power output of a technique. For Ethan, these words acted as a secondary Binding Vow, focusing his intent and pushing his Cursed Energy beyond its natural limits.
"MAXIMUM TECHNIQUE: PIERCING ARIES."
"Cursed Energy... Resonance... Imbue."
Piercing Aries is a Chimera formed by fusing the Piercing Ox and its Reversal, Gravity Sheep Aries. Apart from being a Special Grade Chimera in its own right, Ethan was utilizing this manifestation for this specific scenario under a Cursed Tool Binding Vow: to distill and imbue its essence into the Destroyer Metal arrow.
This arrow serves as a Cursed Tool capable of Infinite Momentum once released. Gravity has no effect on it, allowing it to travel freely through the vacuum of space; consequently, the longer it travels, the more devastating the eventual detonation of the attack becomes.
Then, Ethan started chanting once more.
"MAXIMUM TECHNIQUE: SUZAKU'S ARROW."
"Cursed energy Convergence: Layering."
This chant served to invoke his most offensive attack in his entire arsenal.
Under the dual Binding Vows of the Partial Summoning of his Phoenix, Suzaku, and a Domain-Adjacent restriction, both requirements for fulfillment had finally been met.
His 0.000001 m domain was successfully deployed. He could now unleash a 65,000°C attack on multiple enemies by layering both the Infinite Momentum arrow and Suzaku's flames—which burn thirteen times hotter than the surface of the sun—directly upon each other.
Ethan Park took aim towards the Mothership. He held the longbow taut for a full three minutes to generate even more initial force through the Cursed Tool.
And then, he released.
Fifteen seconds later, the entire Chitari Mothership was utterly destroyed.
Surveying his handiwork, Ethan's face remained neutral as he de-summoned Nue's wings; they had taken heavy damage from the sheer intensity of his own attack. He started freefalling through the atmosphere, his gaze fixed upward at the miniature sun he had just birthed.
"Close it," Ethan commanded Tora and Mahoraga through their mental link.
And the portal snapped shut a second later.
He looked down towards the city; the two Leviathans that remained started collapsing upon themselves after being severed from their Hive mind.
Every remaining Chitauri soldier followed suit, their bodies slumping as their consciousness collapsed on itself.
Ethan cancelled all his frontline summons, though he still didn't close his microscopic domain, and flickered out from mid-air—reappearing directly in front of the New York Public Library.
His Rabbit Escape remained deployed, diligently working to maintain the healing zone. Ethan walked inside.
"What are these rabbits...?"
"My leg is not bleeding anymore..."
"Hell nah... these rabbits are throwing hands..."
"I thought they were hallucinations... until one of them suplexed that alien!"
"I saw a rabbit take a blast meant for a child. It just melted into ground and another one hopped right into its place."
"The disk touched my chest and the shrapnel just... pushed itself out. My skin is knitting back together."
"I can breathe again. The smoke in my lungs—it's like it was washed away by a cold breeze."
"I'm dying, aren't I? Because there is no way a bunny just saved me from a giant space whale."
"One of them just looked at me. Its eyes weren't animal..."
Normal humans can only perceive Cursed Energy, Cursed Spirits, or in this case, his Shikigami, when they are thrust into extreme, life-or-death situations.
Those who had suffered near-death experiences were mostly gathered here, and they could clearly see the Rabbit Escape Shikigami.
"Bring me the most critically injured; start lining them up in that order," he ordered his rabbits.
Even though the RCT disks worked remarkably well, far beyond any known medical technology, they still had limits.
They could not save a man on the absolute brink of death, and they could not regenerate a limb completely.
Ethan expanded his domain to ten meters and summoned forth dozens of Round Deer. These Shikigami were just as capable as Ethan in outputting Positive Energy; they started operating on the civilians without needing to be told.
Fifteen minutes later, the library had been transformed into a place of quiet miracles. Wounds were knitting shut, skin was sealing over, and even those who had lost limbs long before the battle began found themselves suddenly, impossibly whole.
Ethan was currently tending to a blonde woman whose features struck a chord of recognition in him. She looks awfully like Elizabeth Lail, he thought, noting the deep, jagged bruise marring her forehead.
He pressed his fingers to the injury, and under the influence of his Reversed Cursed Technique, the flesh began to mend itself instantly.
"What are you? Are you also an alien?" she asked, her voice trembling. Her eyes kept darting to the side, tracking the Round Deer shikigami as it healed an elderly woman just a few feet to their right.
It seemed she was one of the few who possessed the latent spark to see his summons.
"I am a human... I've had it tested," Ethan replied, "I don't think any human can do what you are doing," another voice interrupted, sharp and authoritative.
Director Fury had just arrived via Quinjet, disembarking in a visible haste the moment he learned of Park's location.
