How Dare You Assume the Infinity Stones' Gender?

Thanos:???

Thanos was stunned when he saw the Power Stone in Ben's hand, which was identical to his own.

His previously passionate emotions were instantly extinguished, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over them.

What is it?

Power Stone, are there two?

At that moment, Thanos felt like his entire worldview was about to shatter.

But he quickly realized what was happening.

There is only one of each Infinity Stones, unless Ben the ability to cross the Multiverse and bring the Infinity Stones from another universe.

Even if Ben could do it, the Infinity Stones from another universe wouldn't be able to unleash their full power in this universe.

Thanos was certain that the Infinity Stones in his hands were genuine. After all, just a second ago, the power of the stones was still flowing within his body. The terrifying destructive power, the unparalleled strength, the feeling of controlling the truth of the universe, and the pain of his body enduring enormous energy all told Thanos that the stones in his hands were the real deal.

So he calmed down.

The way they looked at Ben became as if they were looking at a Joker.

"What are you doing?"

"Can't you see?" Ben thought he had bad eyesight, so he held up the Power Stone to make it more visible. "You think you've got it all figured out because you have the Power Stone, but I have one too."

After hearing Ben's words, Thanos shook his head in disappointment.

Your stupidity is unbelievable.

Normally, Thanos would have shown enough respect to someone as powerful as Ben, even if they were enemies.

But now, Ben's actions seem utterly ridiculous to him.

"You possess two Infinity Stones. If you were to confront me now with one of them, I wouldn't doubt your intelligence; on the contrary, I would be wary of you, because the relative strength of the stones is difficult to ascertain," Thanos said.

"But you insisted on taking out the Power Stone..."

"What's wrong with using magic against magic, and power Power Stone against Power Stone?" Ben countered.

Do you believe I'll transform into you and beat you up in a minute?

Thanos sighed, giving a look that suggested he was an idiot.

What's the problem?

You actually asked me what the problem is?

"There are six Infinity Stones in total, representing Power, Space, Time, Reality, Mind, and Soul Stone. Each stone is unique."

Thanos demanded, "The Power Stone, Ronan obtained it from the Universal Orb and handed it to me. How dare you stand before me with a fake one?"

If Ben were currently wielding the Mind Stone or the Space Stone, Thanos would have to consider whether he might lose.

But then the other party produced a Power Stone.

Does he not know who possesses the Power Stone?

But Ben shook his head.

You're wrong, Thanos.

"You only know there are six Infinity Stones, but you don't know that each Infinity Stones actually comes in pairs," Ben spouted nonsense with a straight face. "Everything in the universe exists in opposition, good and evil, yin and yang... the Infinity Stones are no exception."

I don't believe you for a second!

Thanos really wanted to say that.

However, before he could speak, he saw Ben wave his hand, and the six shimmering gems actually appeared in Ben's palm, orbiting like asteroids to form an Infinity loop.

Thanos was instantly stunned.

With his discerning eye, he could naturally sense that the light and energy emanating from those gems were indeed incredibly powerful.

These are the six Infinity Stones that he longed for.

"This is impossible..."

His eyes widened, his face filled with astonishment.

After the Infinity Stones formed a circuit, the radiance they released far exceeded normal levels; this could not be faked by anything else.

This means that all six Infinity Stones in Ben's possession are real!

But how is that possible?

Even setting aside the Ben couldn't possibly collect all the other gems, the Power Stone alone is clearly in his possession.

"Could there really be two Infinity Stones?"

At that moment, Thanos's resolve wavered.

In reality, apart from the Power Stone, the other gems in Ben's possession are all replicas conjured by Alien X. Although they appear to possess enormous energy, the energy they contain cannot form a true wireless circuit; they are merely intimidating in appearance.

Therefore, after a brief appearance, Ben put all the gems away, leaving only the Power Stone.

"Thanos, now you believe there are actually two Infinity Stones, right?"

Thanos remained silent for a moment, then slowly calmed down.

He wondered, since Ben had already collected all the gems, why not use them?

Realizing this Blindspot, Thanos quickly began to analyze it in his mind.

Clearly, given Ben's physical abilities, which allow him to fight against him, controlling all six Infinity Stones simultaneously might not be easy, but it's definitely achievable.

He only needs a single thought to completely destroy himself.

But he didn't?

Why?

Is it because you don't want to?

Thanos didn't believe Ben so merciful; clearly, there was something fishy about those six Infinity Stones!

With his intelligence, he quickly grasped the key point.

That means the six Infinity Stones in Ben's possession are not real, but rather illusions created by some kind of power.

Having figured this out, Thanos had his answer.

"I see. I didn't expect you to have obtained the Reality Stone," Thanos said confidently. "Those stones in your possession were probably materialized using the Reality Stone, weren't they? Otherwise, they wouldn't be so real."

"Unfortunately, while the Reality Stone's energy can materialize the appearance of a gem and simulate some of its abilities, it's impossible for a single gem to actually conjure other gems out of thin air. What you have is just a fake."

It's safe to say that Thanos's guess was pretty accurate.

The only mistake was mistaking Alien X for the Reality Stone.

"Since that's the case, why don't you try my Power Stone to see if it's real?" Ben smiled slightly. "Let me tell you, gems also have yin and yang aspects. Your gem is male, and mine is female. When you meet mine, yours won't work."

Upon hearing this, Thanos thought that Ben had probably really gone mad.

"That's enough, this farce should come to an end. I will put an end to all of this."

He shook his head, raising the arm holding the gem.

After making this move, Thanos simply closed his eyes.

In his view, the outcome of everything was already predetermined.

He only needed to wait for the power of the gem to spread through his body again, and for that Infinity energy to destroy everything.

However, even after several seconds had passed, he did not sense the impending destruction.

Thanos opened his eyes in surprise and looked down to see that the Power Stone in his hand, which had been radiating a dazzling and mysterious light, had suddenly become dim.

The energy within the gem flowed away from his fingertips like grains of sand, and it became nothing more than a translucent purple gem.

"This..."

His heart suddenly felt empty.

What exactly is this?

At that moment, Ben's voice rang in Thanos's ears once again.

"I told you, your gem won't work when it meets mine."

Thanos looked over suddenly and saw that the gem in Ben's hand seemed to shine even brighter at that moment, and the purple glow seemed to symbolize the Infinity and mysterious power of the universe.

His gaze darted back and forth between the gem in Ben's hand and the dull gem in his own, his expression growing increasingly bitter.

Infinity Stones truly have two sides, Yin and Yang?

At that moment, Thanos felt as if he had crossed dimensions and was enveloped by the figure of a monkey.

Not to mention him, even Thanos, who had been watching his death from behind, was somewhat confused at this moment.

She knew that there were indeed more than six Infinity Stones; in some universes, there were even more. But the idea that a stone could be male or female, and that a male stone would become ineffective when it met a female stone, was simply too absurd.

how?

You need to be politically correct even for a stone?

If you're so accurate, how dare you assume the gender of the Infinity Stones?

In short, something's not right.

But Thanos no longer had the chance to find out.

Because Ben has fully unleashed the power of the Power Stone, and once the stone's immense energy is fully released, even Thanos would be unable to withstand it.

In an instant, the destructive purple light completely engulfed the area.

Like the destructive energy in the Dragon Ball world, objects touched by the Power Stone's light instantly turned into streams of light and began to disappear.

Thanos initially tried to escape, but how could Ben possibly let him go?

The scorching flames formed a massive vortex beneath his feet, completely Thanos within it.

At this moment, Thanos was fighting like a trapped beast.

Ben emerged from the flames once more, facing Thanos directly.

At this moment, Thanos also decided to face death with equanimity.

"Let's do it," he said.

"Don't be impatient. I'll give you a fair duel--"

Ben did not immediately use the Power Stone to destroy Thanos. Instead, he put away the Power Stone and even deactivated his transformation, walking towards Thanos amidst the flames.

"You're not using the Power Stone?"

Thanos never expected that Ben would abandon the power of the Infinity Stones and choose to fight him head-on.

"That wouldn't be fun," Ben said with a laugh.

If he really wanted to use the power of the Infinity Stones, he would have simply taken the Space Stone and the Mind Stone with him and attacked with all three at once, slapping Thanos a few times in the face.

Thanos would be considered courageous if he dared to fart.

But that would be meaningless.

"You think you can be stronger than me?" Thanos looked down at the now "shrunken" Ben, still not understanding why Ben had made this decision.

The two of them were evenly matched before, and if they continued fighting, the outcome would be uncertain.

"Certainly!"

Ben nodded matter-of-factly, strode up to Thanos, and casually plucked a drop of blood from Thanos's body to Thanos's astonishment, then covered the watch with it.

Then he raised his head, looked into Thanos's eyes, and asked:

Do you know why I'm invincible?

Because I will never admit defeat.

Immediately afterward, to Ben 'Thanos astonishment, he pressed the button on his watch. A green light flashed, and then, as if reflected in a mirror, a Purple Potato identical to Thanos appeared before Thanos.

Atlas!
