At the sound of footsteps, Jane's heart skipped a beat. The darkness and gloom of this place had already unsettled her, and now there were other people here?
Who could it be?
Confused by the sudden appearance of the red light, Jane looked over.
When she saw who it was, her initial confusion turned to shock.
"White-Clad Hero?"
"How did he end up here?"
Since the battle in the town and the subsequent conflict in New York, how could he suddenly appear here?
It was well known that the White-Clad Hero was no ordinary figure. Rumored to be an Omega mutant and possibly a deity with incredible powers, it was astounding to see such a mysterious figure here.
Jane was stunned.
Furthermore, she understood what the red light was now—it was clearly the result of his powerful Omega abilities.
It was entirely normal for him to block the strange red liquid.
As she was lost in thought, Syd walked over.
He glanced at the Aether particles, which were clashing inside the chaotic magic sphere, trying to break free from Jane. Syd's eyes showed a hint of interest.
"The Aether particles, huh…"
He said, extending his right hand.
The red liquid Aether particles, under Jane's astonished gaze, were enveloped by red energy and shaped into a spherical form, then brought before him.
Looking at the Aether particles still moving erratically inside the chaotic magic sphere, as if they were alive, Syd frowned slightly.
"I guess I underestimated this…" he thought.
He had initially considered letting the Aether particles parasitize him to see what would happen. But seeing the particles still bouncing around inside the chaotic magic sphere, he had lost interest in that idea.
Who knew what might happen if such things entered his body? What if the Aether particles did something unexpected?
Syd was confident his body wasn't yet strong enough to withstand or endure an Infinity Stone's attack.
If he were at level five of the divine physique, with level five Light Divine Power and divine abilities, he would be more confident. But for now…
He looked at the liquid-like Reality Stone and furrowed his brows, attempting to control the chaotic magic.
The chaotic magic quickly aggregated the Aether particles, pulling them towards a central point.
Under the immense pressure of the chaotic magic, the Aether particles were forced to gather…
Under Syd and Jane's watchful eyes, the Aether particles emitted a massive amount of red light and gradually solidified from their liquid state.
Eventually, the light faded, revealing an irregular red gem floating in the air.
"What's this…" Jane was astonished, covering her mouth while staring intently at the gem and the White-Clad Hero, trying to figure out what was happening.
Ignoring her, Syd waved his hand, and the solidified Reality Stone flew into his palm.
Holding the Reality Stone, he easily established a connection with it.
Unable to suppress his curiosity, Syd began experimenting with the Reality Stone's power.
He envisioned a grassy plain in his mind and attempted to change the dark environment into a meadow.
But as soon as he issued the command, his expression changed slightly.
He felt a force from the Reality Stone, trying to invade and damage his body.
Fortunately, with his level four divine physique and the support of Light Divine Power and divine abilities, this backlash wasn't enough to threaten his life.
Of course, this was also due to his limited use of the Reality Stone.
Additionally, Syd sensed a strong desire from the Reality Stone to absorb the Light Divine Power from his body.
After a moment of thought, Syd didn't stop it.
The next second, a portion of Light Divine Power disappeared from his body—at least one-fifth.
Then, in Jane's astonished gaze, an amazing scene unfolded!
The surrounding dark environment quickly transformed as if it were a painting being redrawn!
In just two or three seconds, the surroundings changed completely!
Looking at the plain before her, Jane rubbed her eyes, thinking she was seeing things.
After pinching her own face, she dared to believe that everything before her was real!
Her gaze turned to the White-Clad Hero, and she was filled with shock.
"Is this the White-Clad Hero's Omega ability?"
"It's truly terrifying!"
"Heavens, this defies the laws of physics and science…"
"How is he doing this?"
Jane was incredulous.
To her, this bizarre and horrifying scene was the result of the White-Clad Hero's Omega ability.
After all, it was well-known that the White-Clad Hero possessed the terrifying Omega power to alter reality!
And he had used it more than once!
So, in her mind, this scene was a manifestation of the White-Clad Hero's Omega power.
As for the strange gem, she completely overlooked it.
After all, no ordinary person would think a gem could possess reality-altering powers.
Ignoring Jane's shock, Syd frowned.
"Does altering reality with the Reality Stone really require energy support?"
At this moment, he finally understood why the Dark Elf in Thor: The Dark World didn't directly use the Aether particles to alter reality.
It was either that the particles couldn't alter reality in their liquid form, or they required immense energy to do so—energy that the Dark Elf evidently lacked.
"No wonder the Reality Stone is known as the most difficult stone to use and needs the support of other stones…"
Thinking about the energy that had just vanished, Syd shook his head.
How could an ordinary person possibly use the Reality Stone?
Only with the assistance of other stones could the Reality Stone truly unleash its power. For example, the Power Stone, which provides energy to other stones.
In other words, the Infinity Stones complement each other.
After pondering for a few seconds, Syd noticed that the surrounding scenery began to change again.
In the blink of an eye, the grassy plain reverted to the original dark environment.
Clearly, the reality altered by the Reality Stone was not permanent. Once it contradicted the existing reality, maintaining the altered state required a supply of energy.
The duration of the altered reality depended on the amount of energy provided and the extent of the change.
This altered reality was like water without roots, needing energy support to persist…
However, the reality before him wasn't entirely fake.
Syd clearly sensed that these temporary changes could become permanent!
With the combined power of all six stones, the altered reality could be extended indefinitely, even becoming permanent.
