"The Infinity Stones cannot remain in one place for long, or they will bring destruction."

Gamora said seriously.

"This is what Thanos told me, and it's also what we learned from the Soul Stone."

Upon hearing this, even Nebula turned to look at Ben and said seriously, "He never lies."

Nebula naturally refers to Thanos.

At that moment, Thanos slowly explained in Gamora's ear, "These are rules set by an entity far beyond our comprehension. If the six Infinity Stones were to come together, it would only cause destruction."

"Either the world, or the gem itself."

Gamora repeated his words.

"In that case, I'll just separate them," Ben, shrugging.

In reality, the four gems that the Galactic Plumbers currently possesses are not all kept together. The Mind Stone is inside Eunice's body, while the Power Stone is completely sealed on Sakaar.

As for the Time Stone, although the Ancient One entrusted it to Ben, Ben actually used magic to seal the stone in a hidden place in Legerdomain with her.

He only occasionally takes out and uses the Space Stone.

Gamora shook her head again. "No, that's not safe. If something happens within your Galactic Plumbers, all the gems will be wiped out. Besides, the Reality Stone is now integrated into my body."

"We can use magic to separate them," Nebula said.

"You're too naive, Nebula. How could our father let you have your way? Don't forget, he also possesses magical powers."

"There's one more thing I must state," the Collector said, holding up a finger to draw everyone's attention. "Gamora has given me the Reality Stone, and in exchange, I'll help her deal with Thanos's Soul Stone."

"Is that so?" Nebula glared at Gamora, a little annoyed.

"Otherwise, why do you think I'd seek him out?" Gamora shrugged. "But once the Soul Stone issue is resolved, I can give you the Soul Stone."

Giving one gem to each side, although Gamora felt the Galactic Plumbers had already collected too many gems, it was still somewhat dangerous, but there was no other way now.

She never wanted to be associated with gemstones again in her life.

Otherwise, Thanos's previous whispers would have slowly broken down her psychological defenses, Gamora also worried that one day she would embark on the path of collecting all the Infinity Stones.

The temptation to resurrect one's own race is too great.

What she didn't know was that this matter was actually very simple for Ben.

Ben may not be able to resurrect those who have been killed, but with Little Broken Watch's abilities, he could create a new race by extracting the basic genetic code of Gamora's race from her genes.

Nebula felt extremely annoyed.

"You should have asked me for help first, not this guy!"

"Hey, what's this guy?" The Collector pointed at himself, a little annoyed.

Gamora looked slightly aggrieved and said, "I don't want you to see me looking so disheveled..."

The relationship between these two sisters is indeed a bit complicated.

"It's okay, we can switch." Ben didn't think it was a big deal.

"Hmm, so you agree to be my specimen after you die?" The Collector misunderstood, shaking his head and saying, "Dude, this is Infinity Stones. Ten million of you wouldn't be worth a fraction of it..."

"You need to pay more!"

Ben:...

You're also the Add-Money Bro, " right?

Is your Infinity Stones smooth?

He rolled his eyes and said, "I meant exchanging gems for gems. Actually, I don't have a great interest in gems, nor do I need to have them all. It just so happens that they are useful to me."

"You can give me the Soul Stone first. After I've used it, I'll exchange my Soul Stone for reality, how about that?"

Ben asked.

His plan was to first use the Soul Stone to heal Looma's injuries. Her Soul Stone had been injured by Corvus Glaive's weapon, and although it could be healed slowly, there were still some hidden dangers.

As for the Reality Stone, it's fine to leave it with the Collector for now; Malekith won't know its whereabouts anyway.

Ben's desire for the Reality Stone was merely a means to modify Primus Planet and prevent it from falling into the hands of the Dark Elf.

The Collector immediately began to think.

He pressed one finger against the blue vertical stripe in the middle of his lower lip.

Exchanging gems for gems seemed like a good deal, but something just didn't feel right to him.

"Wait a minute, this isn't a collection at all, it's more like I'm keeping the Reality Stone safe for you..."

"But you haven't lost anything either; at least one of the two gems is yours," Eunice said.

"You're right, but since I'm destined to possess one of them, why should I care which one it is? Both gems are priceless. The Soul Stone is no more valuable than the Reality Stone, and I have no need to trade with you."

That's what he said, but the Collector's expression wasn't very firm. On the contrary, he had an eager look on his face, looking at Ben's Zhang Fei -like face with great anticipation.

Even a fool knows what he's thinking.

You have to pay more!

Ben was somewhat helpless in the face of such a guy.

It's not that they can't defeat them, but the immortality of the Elders of the Universe is a bit troublesome. Moreover, although the different Elders don't usually gather together, they seem to have a good relationship with each other. Ben doesn't want to provoke such enemies for no reason.

"In that case, why don't we expand the deal further?"

Ben had a good idea.

Collector are looking for rare treasures, and even worthless items can be used as bargaining chips as long as they are worth collecting.

He had his eye on the Big Chill, but it wasn't absolutely necessary for Ben.

"I can give you the genes of the Big Chill, plus genes from other races, all guaranteed to be creatures that don't exist in this universe. I think with your technology, you could clone those creatures using genetics. In exchange, you'll need to give me a portion of the genes from those creatures you've collected."

"Are you sure these are all items I haven't seen before?" The Collector's face showed a doubtful expression.

If that's the case, then he really can't refuse.

Although Ben still proposed an exchange, it differed from the exchange between gems, where the value of gems was roughly equivalent, the value of genes could not be equated at all.

How could the biological specimens he collected compare to the genes of species that don't exist in the universe?

Not to mention, all he gave up was his genes, which did not harm the collection. The number of biological specimens would only increase, not decrease. What a wonderful thing!

It's a deal!

The Collector immediately decided, "Let me begin now!"

He was already impatient, but clearly someone was even more eager than him.

Boom!!!

With a deafening roar, scorching flames, like dragon fire, caused an explosion that shattered the walls of the Collector's exhibit. Heat waves and shockwaves erupted, and hundreds of display cases shattered like water droplets.

Ben could feel the Collector's breath catch for at least three seconds, and then his anger erupted like a volcano, accompanied by a booming voice!

"Who the hell dares to blow up my collectibles?!"

Collector are in an uproar!

There was no response from the billowing smoke, only a bright red greyhound darted out like Flash. It left a winding, crimson trail among the towering display cases, and in the blink of an eye, it was in front of Ben, its skeletal head opening to bite at Ben's throat.

"An attack?!"

Nebula reacted the slowest; by the time she came to her senses, the hounds had already rushed up to Ben.

Before she could do anything, the hound's fangs pierced Ben's throat—it went right through, and before she could stop, she crashed to the ground, knocking over a whole row of collectibles.

Collector are going crazy.

The greyhound scratched at the ground, struggling to get up, Ben had already turned around, his eyes glowing blue from beneath his robes.

"Freeze--"

He opened his mouth, and a torrent of cold air instantly formed in the small space, freezing most of the Collection Hall in an instant.

"Careful."

Ben spoke in a hoarse voice, his Spider-Sense telling him the danger hadn't disappeared.

A crimson light flashed within the frozen ice, and the red canine creature's body temperature rose sharply—but the sense of danger did not emanate from the canine itself.

Boom!!!

The flames instantly vaporized the ice!

The hounds are attacking again!

Meanwhile, amidst the scorching steam, another figure approached silently like a ghost.

Despite his Khyber stature, Haber was remarkably agile. He crouched low and stealthily approached Ben, drawing a short knife from his thigh with his right hand. Like a deadly needle, he thrust it towards Ben's chest in an instant!

Jormungandr's attack was merely a feint. He knew that the Big Chill's power was ice, and that when ice and high-temperature flames collided, they would create a large amount of steam, enough to conceal his body and facilitate an assassination.

The Khyber has already learned of Ben's strength from Vilgax, so it's impossible for it to rely solely on its hounds to deal with Ben as depicted in the animation, especially since Jormungandr doesn't possess the Nemetrix.

"We got it!"

Seeing that Ben's attention was drawn to Jormungandr, Khyber couldn't help but smile.

But then he saw the blonde woman who was next to Ben block his way.

"Clang!"

With a clang of metal, Eunice blocked Khyber's blade from the thick fog with one hand, then kicked him in the head, sending Khyber staggering back several steps.

"So hard!"

Eunice looked completely surprised.

Her body was made of Vibranium and Anti-Vibranium, making it incredibly sturdy. Even so, her kick didn't do much damage to the Khyber. Instead, the weapon in the hacker's hand cut her arm.

Who exactly are you?

"And who are you, that you were able to spot me?" Khyber was equally surprised.

"To avoid being detected, I even adjusted my body temperature to be close to that of the environment. How did you find me?"

"I can hear your heart." Eunice pressed her slender fingers to her temples.

Meanwhile, Ben dodged another attack from the hounds and also noticed the mastermind behind the attack.

"Khyber?"

Unexpectedly, after Vilgax, even the Khyber appeared.

I wonder how many more enemies from "The Ben 10" will appear in the future.

Ben wondered, "Could it be that some Highbreed, the Dagon, or even the Incursean have come?"

"It seems there are quite a few things here worth collecting. I just heard about that so-called Infinity Stones; it must be something extremely valuable, right?"

Khyber looked at the various physical specimens in the Collection Hall, then turned his gaze to Gamora at the back of the crowd, assuming an offensive stance with the blade in his hand.

"Be careful, that knife might be Dark Matter Weapon," the Collector Ben, his gaze fixed intently on the blade.

This is great stuff! I want it!

"No wonder they could cut through my body," Eunice said in surprise.

But the next moment, the cut on her arm had healed completely; the Extremis Virus's restorative ability was even more immediate than the healing potion.

Dark Matter Weapon?

Ben remembered that Khyber's dagger was a bone blade, and that his pet was a blue alien hound named Zed, a different color from the red hound in front of him.

Clearly, after arriving in this universe, the Khyber gained some other benefits.

However, he also noticed that the dog did not have a Nemetrix around its neck.

If that's the case, then there's nothing to be afraid of.

"Nebula, protect Gamora."

Without a second thought, Ben spread his wings and soared out. Since Khyber was here, he'd send him to hell!

"It really is Omintrix!"

When Khyber saw the watch face on Ben's chest, he became even more excited and charged towards Ben as well.

On the other side, Jormungandr, the dragon dog, seeing that its master was already fighting, also rushed towards Ben.

Boom!

Eunice's eyes flashed with intense light, Jormungandr in mid-air and sending it flying.

"Don't fight here!"

The Collector was heartbroken to see his collection smashed to pieces.

Boom!!

Eunice didn't want to damage the collection here either. After all, the Collector ' specimens were meant to be traded with Ben and would eventually be incorporated into the genetic Code Stream of Primus Planet. Destroying them would be a huge loss!

The energy within her body was released rapidly, and her body temperature was rising quickly. Even her Vibranium body slowly began to turn red. Scorching lasers shot out from her eyes, striking the dragon dog's abdomen like Superman's Heat Vision, sending it flying.

This is not the power of the Mind Stone, but the energy of the Extremis Virus.

With her Vibranium body, Eunice can withstand much higher temperatures than those injected with the Extremis Virus, and thus can unleash even greater energy.

only...

"It doesn't seem to be working very well. Can't the high temperature damage it?"

I'd like to recommend a friend's book, * American Comics: Riders, But Transformers*, which tells the story of a Kamen Rider and a Transformer merging and arriving in the Marvel universe. It allows you to directly transform Transformers into Kamen Rider armor. Those interested can check it out.
