Infinity Stones

Marvel World, top floor of Osborn Tower.

The night was as black as ink, soaking New York, the city that never slept.

"The mind really is something marvelous—"

Harry Osborn reclined against the sofa, idly turning a gemstone that emitted a faint yellow glow between his fingers.

His voice was soft, as though he were merely speaking to himself.

The gem spun between his fingers, and with every turn, it seemed to draw the room's light into shifting brightness and shadow.

Across different worlds, the human mind always manifested in forms that were both similar and entirely different.

Whether it was the miracle known as the "Light of the Soul" in that Infinite World, the cultivation path of severing worldly ties and tempering one's primordial spirit, or the radiant brilliance in Tiga World that had gathered the hope and courage of seven billion people across the globe—

at their core, they all pointed toward the same source: the mind.

And he possessed something similar in his hand as well: the Infinity Stone known as the Mind Stone.

Unfortunately, it was a perfect technological black box. He could draw upon its power, but he could not uncover the precise principles behind its operation.

Neither technology nor Asgardian magic could do more than utilize the Stone's power to a certain extent; neither could analyze it.

According to Odin, the Infinity Stones were directly linked to the birth of this universe. They had not been created, but were the very foundations that composed this world.

As long as one remained within the universe, one could wield the absolute authority represented by the Stones.

Only after the advancement in realm brought about by his counterpart from the Infinite World did he truly glimpse, for the first time, the power contained within the Infinity Stones.
