Ying Zinian explained that the Stone might control powers adapted to the Marvel Universe’s rules, leaving the group questioning whether it could master abilities from other worlds.

• Son of Nature told the group that Thanos’s reliance came from the Power Stone.
• Ninth Son of Great Qin recognized the Power Stone’s ability to let its user master and control powers they attempted to master.

Ying Zinian argued that the Power Stone might let Thanos master powers adapted to the Marvel world's rules, prompting the group to debate whether it could affect Aizen's Illusion, Bai Xuan's [Nature Authority], and Shiba Inu Thor's Power of Thor. The discussion left Su Yunqing doubtful that the Stone could control Bai Xuan's or Shiba Inu Thor's unusual abilities, while Tony dismissed the idea that the mute Shiba Inu Thor could use conceptual attacks through words.

• Ying Zinian explained that the Chat Group adapted members' power systems to each world's rules and suggested the Power Stone might let Thanos master them.

• Su Yunqing argued that Bai Xuan's [Nature Authority] was too abnormal for the Power Stone to master and speculated that Earth might grant him Gaia and Agul's powers in Daigo's world.

• Su Yunqing doubted Thanos could master Shiba Inu Thor's full power, and Tony argued that the dog could not use conceptual attacks because it could not speak human language.

• Su Yunqing and Tony Stark reasoned that Thanos had broken his Limiter and grown powerful enough to break Tony's Mirror Dimension.
• Su Yunqing asked Bai Xuan why Thanos still carried the aura of the One Punch Man World, and Bai Xuan explained that his Limiter was repairing itself while a force suppressed the repair.
• Daigo wondered whether the Infinity Stones were suppressing Thanos's Limiter, and Su Yunqing concluded that collecting them was likely the Transmigrator's purpose.
• Kasumigaoka Utaha suspected that Thanos's Rule-Level Item had exposed him to the world's repair, and Su Yunqing wondered whether it had decided he no longer needed its help.
• Su Yunqing said she would rather obtain a Kryptonian Bloodline than train, since basking in the sun would make her stronger.

The group discussed Saitama’s extreme baldness and then turned their attention to Thanos’s approaching army, which Tony said was contained by forces outside the city. Thanos began his confrontation with Aizen, Thor, and Bai Xuan, while Loki appeared among his allies and revealed that he had joined Thanos for the promise of power and the throne of Asgard.
