Banner frowned and said, "We already promised—we'll return the Infinity Stones!"
The Ancient One calmly replied, "That promise is only good if you actually can return them."
There was an undeniable distrust in her tone.
Or perhaps—it wasn't distrust in them, but simply that she didn't want to test the bounds of human nature.
After all, who wouldn't be tempted by six Infinity Stones?
If even a single mishap occurred, the Infinity Stones from their universe could end up lost in another.
And if that happened, recovering them would be a nightmare.
In this mont, not only the Ancient One, but many watching around the world through drone feeds shared the sa worry.
Banner and the others were growing frustrated at her distrust, about to argue their case—
But Thor didn't care for the back-and-forth. He looked up at the Creator God—his brother in this universe—and pleaded:
"Is it really... not possible?"
Silence fell. Countless eyes turned toward the White-Clad Hero floating above.
Syd glanced at him, then after a mont of thought, shook his head with a light sigh.
"...Fine. I really can't say no to you."
"Even if you're not the Thor of this world... I can lend a small helping hand."
Of course, more than sympathy, Syd was curious about testing the upper limits of his Creation ability.
Hearing his words, Thor froze in place, and deep in his heart... a complicated mix of envy and longing surfaced.
Why did his universe not have a brother like this?
Or rather—why did his legendary brother never appear in real life?
If he had...
His gaze dimd with sorrow and unwillingness.
anwhile, the Ancient One's expression visibly changed.
Steve and the others, on the other hand, were barely containing their excitent.
Just as everyone thought Syd would hand over the Infinity Gauntlet, the unexpected happened.
He released the gauntlet—letting it float beside him—and simply raised his right hand.
His gaze locked on the Ti Stone embedded on the gauntlet.
He was about to recreate it.
Activating the power of Creation, divine energy surged from within him.
Bright green light gathered in his palm—
And in the next second, the energy of ti rippled through the air!
Within monts, a luminous green gem coalesced into form.
A perfectly condensed Ti Stone—complete.
"...It worked."
Syd looked down at the gem hovering in his palm, impressed by the overwhelming strength of Creation.
To avoid interference, he had crafted this Ti Stone using the model brought by Infinity Ultron.
The sa task, attempted with Chaos Magic, would've exhausted him just to make a fake version.
But with the ability of God's Creation... it was different.
As Syd admired the glowing gem—
Down below, Coulson, Steve, the Ancient One, and countless people around the world watching the broadcast were stunned.
"What is that?"
"The Ti Stone?"
They were dazed, their eyes shifting between the original gem on the Gauntlet and the new one in Syd's hand.
"Two... Ti Stones?"
"What's happening?!"
Thor and the others cried out in disbelief. Even the Ancient One's eyes widened—her worldview beginning to collapse.
The Ti Stone, one of the cosmic gems said to have been born with the universe itself... had just been created?
And she had witnessed it firsthand.
Ti... could be created?
The Ancient One was reeling.
Even knowing he was a Creator God—this level of power still seed unreal.
Before she could recover, Syd casually flicked the Ti Stone into the air. It began orbiting him like a satellite.
Then he opened his hand again.
Red light blood...
Then purple...
Then yellow...
Under their astonished gazes, one Infinity Stone after another ford from the void, each glowing with unfathomable power.
Syd's divine ability had produced six new Infinity Stones.
Around the White-Clad Hero, the new Stones spun in orbit.
Everyone watching was silent.
Finally, Rocket muttered, "...I think I'm hallucinating. You?"
Ant-Man nodded slowly. "Sa..."
"...So we're both seeing the sa hallucination?"
"Which ans... this is real?"
He sounded like he was trying to convince himself.
But none of them could deny what they'd just seen.
Not Rocket. Not Thor. Not even Odin watching from Asgard... nor the hidden dinsional beings lurking in the shadows.
Infinity Stones can be created?!
The White-Clad Hero just... did that?
What kind of power is this?!
While the entire world reeled in disbelief, Syd gently waved his hand.
The six new Infinity Stones shot down and floated toward Steve and the others.
Syd's tone remained calm:
"The Infinity Stones of your universe were destroyed."
"These six shall serve as replacents."
Steve and his team stared blankly at the radiant gems.
Though the Creator God spoke so casually, they still felt like they were dreaming.
They had... gotten the Infinity Stones?
And not by fighting, or outsmarting soone, or barely surviving a heist...
But by receiving brand new ones—created before their eyes.
Carefully, reverently, they gathered the six Stones.
Even as relief settled over them, a profound realization dawned:
The power of the White-Clad Hero... might truly be beyond comprehension.
At the very least, his strength exceeded that of the six Infinity Stones combined.
Otherwise—how could he have created them?
Just grasping the power of one Stone was already difficult... let alone all six.
And now soone capable of crafting all six stood before them.
Thor couldn't even begin to imagine it.
Then—
"...Your power is incredible," Steve said quietly, overwheld. "Thank you. On behalf of all life in our universe... thank you."
The others followed, bowing and offering sincere thanks.
Afterward, they quietly began to prepare to leave.
"With the six Infinity Stones, we can finally..."
But just as they were about to say goodbye, Syd paused.
Should I... go with them?
When he had unlocked Baldr's full progress, he'd been curious about the other universes.
And now, after hearing their stories—he had guesses... but no certainty.
