Title: Foraging Gems (2)

”Wow...”

Nik muttered as he gazed at the red gem in front of him.

A skill already added to his existence.

Reality Manipulation.

An S+ ranked ability. His first ability of this rank in fact, and probably one of the strongest ones.

Nik gazed at the area in front of him and suddenly, a crystal sword simply appeared in front of him. Nik didn't take it out of the Dream Core but created it using uncountable particles in the air, changing the very nature of existence in front of him. Warping reality.

Without the ruby red reality stone, immense energy would be needed to achieve this form of manipulation but with it, Nik could do as he wishes.

'I can do as I wish...'

His gaze glimmered.

He knew what he wanted to do.

Glancing at the two girls in his pockets, Nik smiled. It's not like he couldn't sleep with Poole or Spider in their conscious form but the only thing stopping him was that he wanted to have his first with the complete forms of Poole and Spider. With reality stone, he can accomplish much more, not only in power, but also in administration. For instance, the slow building of the city in Dream Core can be completed in a few moments. He can create bodies made of nanotech and symbiotes combined without being dependent on the minds of Tony Stark and Henry Pym.

Without waiting at all, Nik once again spurred the spell and used it to create another portal. Since he was going to have fun after all this, he wanted to complete the task at hand and he couldn't remain patient any longer.

Eagerly stepping into the portal, Nik's action simply confused Poole and Spider but the both of them couldn't deny the chill and strange excitement spreading into their consciousness.

Once Nik stepped into the portal, he came into yet another gloomy environment. He looked around and observed his surroundings. Standing on the precipice with a wide a panaromical view of the seemingly endless ocean, Nik felt a faint sense of pressure as if he had entered someone's range of vision. Closing his eyes momentarily, he used his psychic aptitude. Since the amount of information he can perceive is directly related to the capacity of his mind and consciousness, it was truly time to use his big brain energy and find out what was going on.

With himself as the center in the three-dimensional view, the planet he stood on was slowly peeled in front of his eyes. All the secrets hidden within coming into his view and Nik realized that this planet itself continued to release a faint sense of resonance with the four infinity stones stowed into the dream core.

Thinking for a moment, Nik took out the space stone and the reality stone. Last time, the reality stone almost fled instantly so using the space stone to lock down the gigantic space around the planet.

And with the reality stone, Nik scared the absolute shit out of Poole and Spider as the ground around him started to crumble,

”Stop!” A ghostly howl echoed and Nik narrowed his eyes without even looking back.

”Don't wanna,” he uttered and the dark shadow suddenly trembled and instantly turned from its phantom state to a stream of pitch-black viscous liquid that instantly made a puddle behind Nik.

”Have you guys ever seen black cum?” Nik inquired and chuckled, ”Me neither. Always wondered if people could their stuff out dark.”

Poole and Spider pursed their lips and looked back.

”Well... BBC is now effectively Big Black Cum for me...” Poole mumbled.

”I should try changing the color of my ejaculations,” Nik hummed in response, ”Blueberry shots, strawberry facial, chocolate eruption?”

Staring at Nik with an appalled expression, Spider couldn't help but rebuke, ”That's going to be in my nightmares!”

”I would love some choco eruption,” Poole hugged Spider from behind, her hands sneakily giving Spider's breast a pinch before pressing her index finger against Spider's lips, blowing hotly, ”Right here~!”

”Sure,” Nik snickered.

The moment he used Psychic Aptitude, he realized that this infinity stone was just like the reality stone. Its form had changed and it slept within the planet's core or in fact, it was this planet's core. This star was even smaller than the moon and once Nik caused enough destruction, he felt a pulse of astonishing energy rumble forth but before it could even reach him, Nik instantly disintegrated the form of energy into vapors that instantly rose into a cold gust. Just a single reality stone, for Nik, was worth as much as other stones because it meant that he could make anything out of something.

Now with the strength of four infinity stones, how could Nik not conquer the remaining two?

He instantly observed an amber crystal far off in the distance barely hidden by dust moving around like a caged beast and with a smirk, Nik locked the space around it, too.

Before the amber gem could even burst out with a strange form of energy that neither seemed cosmic, elemental, or any other kind Nik had ever felt, he clenched the amber crystal. Only by making contact with the infinity stones can he truly absorb their traits. He didn't question why only he could do this and not others. After all, Ray had a harem, too but he would only gain raw attributes instead of skills and unless he practices immensely, learning anything other than his strongest trait: Illusion, wouldn't happen itself. Even Brian was limited and the only reason he seemingly had more skills was because of his high number of jumping in various realities and wholeheartedly training. After all, Brian placed power before lust, and Ray and Nik were opposite to that.

The moment he clenched the gem, he realized what this gem was.

The soul stone.

And with that came the answers he never expected to learn in this world itself.

---

”You got the soul stone!” A cheerful laugh echoed and Nik observed the utter darkness around him that only provided him with warmth and the voice of the laugh seemed too familiar. The frivolousness, of it, matched entirely with his nature. The dark space didn't impede Nik's vision but there was nowhere to see. Everything was strangely dark.

In front of him, a crimson shadow quickly formed and revealed its form to be.
