When laws failed: the limits of reality!

"Is that so?"

The arrogant smile on Link's face did not fade in the slightest. He had never believed any law was absolute. Anything called "absolute" simply had yet to meet a force strong enough to break it.

"Then let me see just how solid this stone's 'foundation' really is!"

Before he had finished speaking, the Reality Stone on his left-hand gauntlet erupted with a dazzling red light!

This was one of the powers he trusted most. He could twist reality and create something from nothing. If he wished, he could even conjure a perfect replica of Harley Quinn with the exact same memories, emotions, and even soul fluctuations.

A fake for a real Stone. What a fucking steal!

At Link's command, the laws of reality began to weave together. Red light gathered beside him, and a figure identical to Harley "Quinn" slowly took shape. She had the same hair color, the same smile, and even a perfect imitation of the unique madness in her eyes.

"Lil' Puddin', I'm ready!" That "Harley" even gave Link a playful wink.

Yet just as the illusion was about to become fully tangible, the entire planet of Vormir seemed to let out a silent sigh.

A vast, sorrowful will that would brook no deception awoke deep within the planet's laws.

Humm—

The "Harley" illusion Link had created did not last even a second. Like a bubble in sunlight, she vanished in an instant, dissolving into motes of red light that Vormir's deathly still air swallowed whole.

The Reality Stone's glow dimmed with her disappearance.

For the first time, Link's smile froze on his face.

"Do you see now?" Red Skull's mocking voice rang out again. "A soul cannot be created, much less deceived."

Link's gaze instantly turned icy.

*Interesting. It's actually immune to reality
