After chatting for a while, Nick Fury left to attend to other matters.
Wang Ye dragged a lounge chair out of the storage room and set it beside the cash register in its old spot. Reclining on it, he reflected on everything that had happened recently, slowly closing his eyes, and soon fell asleep.
In his dream, Wang Ye found himself standing in an endless void of darkness. In the far distance, a faint point of light rapidly expanded.
Suddenly, a pure white energy ripple swept through, transforming the surrounding gloom into a dazzling array of stars. Before him appeared six Infinite Stones of various colors, radiating immense power.
Wang Ye was puzzled as to why he would have such a dream. Before he could ponder further, he woke up.
"Strange... Could it be because of the Space Stone that I'm now resonating with the other stones?"
Closing his eyes, Wang Ye used the projection of the Space Stone in his mind to sense the locations of the other stones.
In an instant, he could clearly feel the positions of the six other Infinite Stones:
Green Time Stone: In Kamar-Taj.
Blue Space Stone: In a S.H.I.E.L.D. secret base.
Purple Power Stone: On the planet Morag.
Red Reality Stone: In Asgard.
Orange Soul Stone: On Vormir.
Yellow Mind Stone: In constant motion, already in someone else's hands.
"Unbelievable... I can not only sense their locations but can also use the Space Stone to open portals and instantly reach them. If I push myself..."
The thought alone gave Wang Ye goosebumps—it was far too crazy.
"Looks like I shouldn't snap my fingers recklessly."
With a sigh, Wang Ye waved his hand, opening a space portal and stepping through.
A ripple of energy later, Wang Ye appeared in an unfamiliar place. Looking around at the ancient ruins, strikingly similar to those from a movie, he knew he was in the right spot.
Approaching the main door, he noticed its intricate locking mechanism. Unlike Star-Lord, Wang Ye lacked lock-picking skills.
"No door? Fine, I'll make my own!"
With another wave, a space portal opened, leading him directly into the temple's interior.
The hall was vast and empty, with intricate carvings adorning the walls. In the center stood a platform emanating a dreamy purple glow, sealing the Power Stone.
"It seems this place was once highly prosperous before its downfall. A shame they sought power they couldn't control."
After a brief sigh, Wang Ye wasted no time and began duplicating the Power Stone.
Immediately, a surge of energy as intense as when he fused with the Space Stone coursed through his body. Glowing purple lines appeared across his skin, emitting a radiant light as his upper garments shredded from the sheer force.
His already perfect physique became even more flawless. The streamlined musculature, crisscrossed by brilliant purple patterns, made him look like a living suit of armor.
The transformation finished quickly. The purple lines faded, and all the energy converged into his mind, where the Power Stone now shimmered alongside the Space Stone.
"Wow... This power is unreal! I can now control physical forces at will—pressure, gravity, buoyancy—you name it! And with tenfold amplification, no less!"
Stretching his body, Wang Ye marveled at the newfound strength.
"This is amazing! Infinite Stones are truly incredible... But it's not enough. Next stop: the Reality Stone!"
With a thought, he opened another portal. Grabbing a shirt from his dimensional space, he stepped through.
Emerging in the dim underground of Asgard, Wang Ye saw the Aether, also known as the Reality Stone, sealed within a massive stone structure. Without hesitation, he began duplicating it.
Thanks to the interference from the Reality Stone, Wang Ye wasn't worried about being detected—even Heimdall couldn't see this place.
The duplication completed in an instant. Unlike the previous transformations, this power directly entered his mind, manifesting as a liquid-like Reality Stone alongside the others.
"How unique!"
Impressed, Wang Ye created a replica Aether using the Reality Stone's power and moved on to the next location.
The moment he stepped into Odin's Vault, Wang Ye was greeted by the dazzling splendor of treasures. A smile tugged at his lips as he began duplicating items like the Eternal Flame and the Casket of Ancient Winters.
Quietly arriving, quietly leaving.
Next, Wang Ye appeared on Vormir, the resting place of the Soul Stone.
Ascending the massive and solemn altar, he suddenly noticed a black-cloaked figure appearing silently beside him.
The figure paused, seemingly stunned, and then let out a piercing, anguished scream.
Wang Ye was taken aback—was the Soul Stone's guardian always this welcoming?
As the figure moved, its hood slipped slightly, revealing a grotesque, blood-red skull.
"Wait... Red Skull? What are you doing here?"
