prevously in chapter 35
"Thank you, Goldie," Henry yelled as he laughed. "I am going to be a reality warper!" Henry laughed to himself as he nearly went mad. "I can't fucking believe it," he laughed to himself as suddenly the Aether, which again seemed royally pissed off, sent a large shockwave out, attempting to destroy Henry. But 1 minute had already passed, so Henry could activate his mana again, even if it's for 1 minute, allowing him to use the Bifrost stone ring. "I will find you!" he yelled at the Aether as he was teleported out. Back in his first hideout, Henry could barely contain his joy, so much that he was staring at the liquid of the liquefied Reality Stone, well, a piece of it. "I know that items can have skills, actual abilities. I thought maybe a tier 7 and above would have skills," he thought, disappointed as he then placed the liquid in a secure bottle.
However, he didn't put all of the Aether essence in the bottle. Since the liquid was a lot, he placed the majority in the secure bottle before turning a small piece of the essence into a gem, literally a gem of the Reality Stone, which much to his surprise, actually had abilities, not just one ability, but multiple abilities.

Chapter 37
[ Name: Fragment of Reality Stone ]
[ Grade: 5th ]
[ Description: This red and black stone is a small fragment of the Reality Stone, one of the six Infinity Stones that predated the universe. Despite its size, it retains immense power, allowing its possessor to manipulate reality to a significant extent. ]
[ Effects: 1. Matter Transmutation: Instantly transform any object or substance into another form of matter; this lasts for 1 hour. 2. Illusion Casting: Create and sustain highly convincing illusions that can deceive all senses; this lasts for 1 hour. 3. Space Warping: Bend and alter space to teleport, create portals, or distort spatial dimensions; this lasts for 1 hour. 4. Energy Manipulation: Control and redirect vast amounts of energy, including converting energy types; this lasts for 1 hour. 5. Temporal Influence: Slightly accelerate or decelerate the flow of time in a localized area; this lasts for 1 hour.]
[ Deterioration-Rate: 0% ]
"Hhhhhhhhh," his laughter sounded again, reverberating through the cave as he gripped the gem in his hand. "I am a fucking god." Henry's already inflated ego just got a boost. It took about 2 minutes to calm down as disappointment settled in his voice. "Wait? Why is it a tier 5 when it was tier 7 materials? And why do the effects only last for an hour?" His disappointment turned into annoyance before turning into anger. "Don't tell me it's because of my low level?" He realized something as he pondered, "Nah, probably something wrong with the system." He nodded to himself as he sighed, "Well, in any case, I am a god, for an hour." He thought as he then made the gem into a ring before he smiled, "For now, let's see how OP I am," as he then used the second ability of the gem to create an illusion of the whole world bowing down to him. "Yeah, as it should be," he laughed.
He then canceled the illusion before picking a single small stone and turning it into gold, "hhhhhhh." This caused him to sport an evil grin which turned into full-blown evil laughter. "Oh, I am rich, I am rich," he thought as he then saw the deterioration rate of the gem increase by 1%. "Fuck, this is a piece of infinite energy source; it's supposed to be infinite," he sighed. "Anyways, I have to find a place where nothing can get in or out without having already been," he pondered. The reason why he wanted such a place was obvious: he was accumulating too many good things and was starting to worry that someone might find this hiding place eventually. "Maybe in the desert, both sand and ice," he thought of the Sahara Desert and the Arctic, which had largely unexplored areas. "That might actually be viable, and with this gem in my hand, it shouldn't be hard to get into those places," he mused to himself as his evil smile still marred his face.
"I wonder, since the Aether embodies the element of reality, are there other singularities that embody other aspects of existence, like time?" he pondered to himself, a single idea seeding into his mind as he then shrugged, "If there are, and I eventually find them," he mused as he skipped steps towards his workshop where he took another Extremis pill and placed it between his teeth, as well as stocking up on several more potions. "Just because I have this reality-warping gem doesn't mean that I all of a sudden don't need potions. This gem can and will deteriorate the more I use it, so I am going to save it when I truly need it, no wasting it" he reasoned to himself, calming his intrusive thoughts that wanted to use the gem to ravage the world of its materials. But just remembering the fact that this seemingly powerful stone was actually binding itself to Thor's girlfriend, an Avenger, and the fact that they stopped a recent alien invasion, expanded his view on this world that was suddenly awakening with supernatural anomalies. But he knew this since day one. "Can't get ahead of myself,"
so he tried to calm himself, trying to get control of his thoughts as he thought, "I can't get folded like your average everyday villain, I am not a villain," he chanted to himself as he breathed. "I only want to get stronger, and I have to do that with patience," he continued to reason with himself before he arrived at a newly evacuated part of the cave, which was actually a secure cage, terry snapping could be heard as henry yelled, "shut you peak you soft shelled lizard before i reality warp your ass" but terry didnt stop nor was he afraid, that turtle is never afraid, so henry ignored him as he looked down at the cage, where several poisonous insect where fighting for live, he smiled as he said, "good, good, produce a poison gu for me" he laughed as he then left to create potions.
-scene change-
It was in the middle of the night in a small old church in Ireland. Inside the church, several angry men could be seen fighting Ward, while Agent May and Skye stood behind. Upstairs in the church, Agent Coulson, Fitz, and Simmons were trying to stop someone's bleeding. Below, Ward fought through every angry man, beating them with two broken staffs. After he went through all of them, he seemed exhausted, which he was. Skye ran up to him, "Are you okay?" but Ward didn't answer. That is when two people entered the church, a man and a woman. Seeing them, Fitz tried to get up to fight them, but May stopped him, "Let me help," which Ward allowed. May then picked up the broken staff, which caused it to glow as she groaned in pain. The two new people ran up to them, only to be beaten to a pulp by May, who then reconstructed the three parts of the metal staff, making it whole again.
May still groaned with what seemed to be painful memories as she placed the staff down on one of the many church seats. A small mosque could be seen, which was just Henry using illusion to disguise himself as he thought, "Hm, Asgardians." He was interested in the staff which induced rage and gave the wielder an adrenaline rush, giving them superhuman strength. "Well, anything that messes with the mind is a no-go," he shook his head, but an evil grin still managed to find its way onto his tiny insectoid face as he thought, "But if I get to fuck over S.H.I.E.L.D., then…"
He then used illusion casting to make the agent delivering the staff believe that he did, which was exactly what he made the agent believe before following coulson and his team to their hideout, they first stayed in a hotel where he found the juicy detail that was may and grant having sex, of course being the diabolical fiend he was, he got a tape, he didnt film himself the tape but left ARD on their room. The next morning they all left to board a large plane, "so this where you live?" after finding this out, he left a little ard on the plane of course.

A/N so yeah, items could grant skills instead of percentages, but the chances are very low. However, those chances increase as the tier of the item increases. When the next skill comes, that is when most of his items are going to become permanent.
