As the last ripples of magic dissipated into the air, the battlefield returned to silence.
Odin stepped over to Harry's side as well, and together they looked at the scarlet particles floating ahead.
Harry stood with his eyes lowered, the five-colored aura surrounding him not yet fully faded, reflecting the crimson glow of the Aether Particles.
Observing the boy's calm profile, Odin mistakenly assumed Harry had no way to collect the Aether Particles. He nodded slightly and said in a deep voice,
"Do you need my help? Asgard has a divine artifact called the Infinity Gauntlet. Perhaps it can compress the Aether Particles back into the Reality Stone."

"Well, although this has never happened before, they do seem capable of being separated.
"As for whether the separated Aether Particles would still possess infinite energy, there is no need to doubt that. As long as they remain in this universe, they will forever be Infinity Stones. It is merely that their energy output will decrease!"
