As far as Chen Mo knew, the only ones capable of directly controlling a single Infinity Stone without relying on any vessel were Odin and, most likely, Star-Lord's father, Ego!
Odin was the king of the Asgardians, while Ego was an ancient Celestial born from the universe itself. Both possessed the formidable strength of the Heavenly Father level!
Thanos, on the other hand, was an Eternal. Although his own strength was only at the Sub-Heavenly Father level, preventing him from directly controlling an Infinity Stone, he could still touch one with his bare hands without suffering any harm. With the Infinity Gauntlet, he could even fully control all six Infinity Stones!
Chen Mo had also discovered that the requirements for controlling each Infinity Stone were different.
The Cosmic Cube seemed to require divine power to control. The Mind Stone required sufficiently powerful mental strength. Only the Dark Elves could wield Aether, while the Power Stone placed extremely high demands on its user's physical strength and power.
Chen Mo guessed that Thor and Loki should also be able to directly touch and control the Power Stone. They would likely have an easier time than Star-Lord and be able to unleash more of the Power Stone's might. However, to truly master it, they would still need strength at the Heavenly Father level, like Odin and Ego!
Even so, based on Chen Mo's understanding of the Infinity Stones that had appeared so far, aside from the Mind Stone, which was of little use to him, the Power Stone—seemingly the most violent and difficult to control—was actually the one he was most likely able to use!
The Power Stone inflicted immense damage upon its user's body. Although Chen Mo's physique far surpassed that of ordinary people, it was clearly not enough to completely withstand
