Vincent Hall smiled at his status panel.
He had waited a long time for this plotline.
Although he neutralized it easily, he felt no remorse for slaughtering the Chitauri.
This massacre would only make him a hero, perhaps even revered as a god by humanity. They wouldn't fear him—not yet.
But fear wasn't the only form of desire.
Inflicting fear on enemies was desire.
Bringing excitement, thrill, and gratitude to humanity was also desire.
Vincent could harvest desire from any angle.
Moreover, the desire blooming from death was the most beautiful. Killing so many Chitauri netted him 2 billion Desire Points—an unprecedented harvest.
A dangerous glint flashed in Vincent's eyes.
He even considered collecting all six Infinity Stones.
Snapping his fingers. Erasing half the universe.
But Vincent knew that might not work as intended.
"The major powers of the human world should be willing to cooperate now, right? After all, I saved them from extinction."
Vincent mused.
Especially the way his women looked at him—it made his blood run hot.
He knew he had completely conquered the women by his side.
Even Gwen couldn't escape.
But thinking of tonight's "appointment" with several women, Vincent's scalp tingled.
"Man of Steel, I'm counting on you tonight. If I get drained dry, I have no complaints."
Vincent muttered.
He calmed himself down.
He began processing Oscorp documents.
Important files usually came to him, the Chairman.
In reality, F.R.I.D.A.Y. could handle them.
But Vincent needed a distraction. He needed to quell the monstrous killing intent in his heart.
He was in a dangerous state.
With the Chitauri dead, his urge to kill might shift to humans.
Humans were too fragile. They couldn't withstand a fraction of his power.
He needed restraint.
"Hydra agents are here."
Vincent watched the bald agent Hydra sent into Stark Tower.
Sitwell.
He smiled.
His telepathy already read Sitwell's mind.
Taking the Scepter.
Their goal was also the Tesseract.
But even if Vincent hadn't taken the Space Stone, Nick Fury would have let Thor take it.
Back to Asgard.
Fury thought Asgard was the safest place.
But Vincent knew better. With Loki there, Asgard couldn't hold the Space Stone.
Eventually, Loki would steal it.
And give it to Thanos.
That was the plot of Thor: Ragnarok and Infinity War.
Vincent wouldn't follow the movie script.
To him, everything was simple.
If Thanos came, he'd kill Thanos too.
Vincent looked at the Gold Blind Box.
An Epic-tier item. The reward wouldn't be bad.
"Gold. The color of luck."
Vincent smiled.
He was alone in the office.
If there was another consciousness, it was F.R.I.D.A.Y.
But Friday's highest authority belonged to him.
No one could strip it away. Not by any method.
This was the core programming—absolute loyalty.
"Infinity Stone collection missions don't stack."
Vincent muttered.
He knew he didn't lack abilities.
He could even break his limits to become stronger.
But to preserve certain plotlines, he restrained himself.
The Chitauri were destroyed.
Thanos would notice.
But at Absolute Zero, no matter, atoms, or even electromagnetic waves survived.
He had erased every trace of the Chitauri he saw.
Even with his vast resources, Thanos couldn't identify him from the wreckage.
He would only know that a powerful ice mage existed on Earth.
"I won't let the plot of Avengers 2 happen."
"Next is Civil War."
Of course, Baron Strucker didn't have much time.
To use the Mind Stone to create the true Scarlet Witch, the timeline would be tight.
But Vincent left the Mind Stone (Scepter) alone specifically for Scarlet Witch.
Once Wanda was born, Hydra would be useless.
SHIELD would purge them.
If SHIELD failed, Vincent would do it.
Taking the Scepter, taking the Mind Stone.
But before that, Vincent had another task.
The Aether.
The Reality Stone.
In the future, Jane Foster's body would be ravaged by the Aether, causing genetic mutations and cancer.
By taking the Aether, Vincent would change Jane's fate.
He had no interest in Jane.
But Jane was a good leash for Thor.
Hindering Thor's growth.
Thor's potential in the comics was immense—one of the strongest heroes.
Vincent wouldn't let Thor grow that fast.
"I remember the Aether is in an abandoned warehouse in London. Sealed within a convergence point."
Looking at the glowing Space Stone ring.
Vincent smiled.
Thanos wielding the Stones?
In the movies, Thanos barely handled the full gauntlet, nearly dying.
He couldn't truly master all six.
The Space Stone was already on Vincent's finger.
"System, open the Gold Blind Box."
Vincent commanded.
The instruction was clear.
The system didn't err.
[Congratulations Host! You have obtained the ability: Dimensional Pocket (Space-Time Bag)!!!]
A direct ability.
Vincent was stunned.
But Dimensional Pocket was worthy of a Gold Box.
Even at its base level, it freed his hands.
He could store many items inside.
Like the Ten Rings. He could pull them out anytime.
That was just the start.
"So now, I can store humanity's most powerful strategic weapons in the pocket."
"In the future, the Dimensional Pocket can even carry nukes."
Vincent muttered.
The birth of the Dimensional Pocket changed his logistics entirely.
