Space Stone, Colorless Card

The cube was, in other words, a perfectly square object.

Up close, its surface continuously exuded a strange, mysterious aura, as if a miniature universe lay within.

Suppressing his excitement, Kyle materialized the Vibranium Bracer Item Card and put it over his bare right hand before reaching out to grasp the cube clamped between Venom’s shark-like jaws.

Only when his Vibranium-protected palm held the Tesseract did two brilliantly glowing card messages flash into Kyle’s vision.

The two cards were neither white, green, blue, nor purple. They were nearly colorless, yet carried crystal-pure, iridescent hues.

Tesseract:

Container holding the Space Primordial Stone, one of the Infinity Stones. Also known as the Infinite Cube. Colorless Item Card.

Possessed the power of space and could open spatial gates, transporting people and objects anywhere in the universe.

Current status: Cannot be drawn (integrated with the Space Stone), difficult to use.

The second colorless card nearly overlapped the previous one, like a superimposed shadow.

Space Stone:

One of the universe’s six Infinity Stones, the stone that governed space. Colorless Item Card.

It was almost one of the earliest things to exist in the universe, and almost one of the most powerful objects in the universe as well.

Using this stone, one could instantly move oneself or any object to any location in the universe.

It could also distort or rearrange space at will. When pushed to its limits, it could easily achieve spatial teleportation, spatial stasis, and spatial reversal.

Current status: Can be drawn, difficult to master and use.

"Two… colorless Item Cards?" Kyle was briefly stunned. He had assumed there would only be one Tesseract Item Card, but the Card Draw Ability had forcibly separated the stone from the Cube Container.

The container could not be drawn, while the Space Stone could—

Should he draw it?

Kyle considered the pros and cons carefully and quickly came to a decision.

Draw it! There was no reason not to!

Even if this god-tier item were left alone, it would sit idle on Earth for over half a century. Only when Thor’s brother Loki arrived in the twenty-first century would its secrets of spatial transportation gradually be uncovered.

Although the Infinity Stones would become hot potatoes once Thanos began collecting them, if Kyle had a chance to study and master the Space Stone’s extraordinary abilities first, that would be a true leap to the heavens!

Having made up his mind, Kyle focused on the colorless Space Stone card.

Begin drawing!

Please remain within three centimeters of the item and continue drawing for three hours.

Drawing countdown begins: 10799s, 10798s...

Kyle: "…"

Remain within three centimeters for three hours? Even drawing blue-quality supplies only required staying within one meter for three seconds!

"Is this what it means to be colorless quality?" Kyle gave a wry smile. Still holding the Tesseract, he returned to the sun lounger and waited patiently. He had no mission to carry out, so he could afford to wait that long.

If his guess was right, colorless was the highest card quality, separated from purple quality by an unknown number of tiers.

Still, perhaps the Infinity Gauntlet bearing all six stones was colorless rare quality… Everything was too far away to tell.

Kyle thought idly as he waited for the drawing countdown to finish.

Three hours later.

3, 2, 1. Drawing successful. Congratulations, you have obtained the Space Stone.

As the card-drawing message reached his mind, the blue light of the Tesseract in Kyle’s hand immediately dimmed considerably, as if the flame within had been removed from thin air, leaving only abundant residual Gem Energy behind.

At the same time, within Kyle’s personal Card Space.

The instant the colorless Space Stone card entered, it shot upward irresistibly, hanging at the very highest point of the Card Space like a blazing sun. It eclipsed the radiance of the tens of thousands of cards across the six major card categories, proclaiming its supreme status.

"Card Space should be the safest and most reliable storage place in this world. The Space Stone can stay in there for now."

Kyle’s mental avatar looked at the colorless Space Stone card in the Card Space, then quickly withdrew from it.

The Space Stone was not something whose corresponding abilities could be used simply by possessing it. To him now, it was like a child obtaining an energy weapon. Using it rashly before studying it would usually bring nothing but trouble—Red Skull had personally demonstrated that lesson for him.

Just as Kyle’s consciousness withdrew from the Card Space, he noticed that after losing the Space Stone within it, the Tesseract in his palm had begun to undergo subtle changes.

The most obvious change was that the card information displayed before his eyes rapidly shifted in color and rank, changing from colorless to gold.

Its rank dropped?

Kyle stared in disbelief at the Tesseract in his hand. It still gave off a faint blue glow and an aura of mystery, but it was far inferior to what it had been before.

The colorless Tesseract card had clearly become an entirely new gold Item Card after the Space Stone inside it was drawn away. Even its name had changed.

Cube Container:

Once the container of the Space Primordial Stone, one of the Infinity Stones. Also known as the Infinite Cube. Gold Item Card.

Retained a trace of spatial power and could briefly open spatial gates, but the gates were unstable and could trigger spatial collapse at any time. It would continuously deteriorate after use.

Current status: Cannot be drawn (retains the residual power of the Space Stone).

Kyle fell silent for a moment before shaking his head with a laugh. "Interesting."

This counted as an unexpected gain. Probably no one in the entire universe would have imagined that the Card Draw Ability could directly take away the Space Stone without damaging the outer Cube Container.

"Wait, why do I feel like I could set a trap for Thanos in the future?"

Kyle rubbed his smooth chin. This Tesseract did not have even the slightest bit of damage, and it still contained some residual Gem Energy from the Space Stone.

Throwing this empty Tesseract out of his hands could also save him a great deal of trouble…

At the thought, a smile crept onto Kyle’s lips.

He could already imagine it. After Thanos went through countless hardships to obtain the Tesseract, crushed it to embed the Space Stone into the Infinity Gauntlet, and found nothing inside, just how livid that eggplant-like face of his would become.

Now that he had obtained the Space Stone, this was already the greatest gain of the operation. Kyle had no intention of lingering in the Atlantic any longer.

Looking out at the boundless sea before him, he sighed softly. "Steve, it seems we really won’t meet again for over half a century."

"Actually, there’s no need to worry. For you, this may be nothing more than a short nap between closing and opening your eyes. When you wake up, it will be the peaceful era you always talked about longing for."

"I am the one who has to keep moving forward through this age of war."

Kyle’s gaze grew ever more resolute. He had Venom cover his body and transform into a black Combat Suit, then summoned Blue Eagle back with a thought.

He had been gone for half a month. It was time to show himself again.
