Gan and Jack sealed the deal before he was given the three Infinity Stones. These Infinity Stones were neatly placed in three separate ring cases.
"Let's test it out." Gan didn't have to worry about being destroyed just from touching these stones.
First of all, these stones have already lost their power because they only worked in their universe. Secondly, Gan's ability allowed him to touch and use a celestial-level artifact without consequence.
Gan had chosen the Reality, Space, and Mind Stone.
"Alright!" Gan touched the Reality Stone, which was as red as a ruby.
Upon making contact with the Reality Stone, a wave of energy flowed into his body and remained there. Gan understood this sensation. Based on his powers, Gan understood he would have to harness this energy to unlock the abilities of the Reality Stone.
This was to prevent him from suddenly bursting into power after he replicated an ability. Maybe Gan wouldn't want to activate it then and there, but later, when the coast was clear.
"Time to harness it!" Gan harnessed the power since the coast was clear.
Suddenly, a red electric charge surged throughout Gan's body. His eyes widened as the energy traveled through every corner of his body. Surprisingly, the energy felt soothing and refreshing.
Gan's eyes, mouth, and ears began to glow bright red. Almost immediately, the entire room was illuminated by this light. The sky shifted to shades of red, blue, and green as the sun rose and set in rapid succession, giving way to the moon. In an instant, it was both day and night, a cycle that continued for the next ten seconds.
This phenomenon appeared around the world, both shocking and scaring people. Structures disappeared, reappeared, and disappeared before appearing again. Everything was bending in and out of reality.
All of this happened in a measly ten seconds, but to others, this seemed like hours.
"Let's test it out!" Gan was unaware of these events and could only think about what he wanted to create.
Gan's arm rose in front of him as if he were carrying something. In the space between his hands, a gold bar formed out of...what appeared to be nothingness!
"Oh, my goodness..." Gan grabbed the gold bar quickly and began to examine it.
"It's genuine gold! I'll be friggin rich in the future, my future is assured!" Once he was an adult, there would be many things he could use this power for, like getting rich!
The powers of the Reality Stone were his to use now. Gan was surprised he could replicate its abilities despite it being depowered.
"There's so much to experiment with, but I'd better replicate the rest of these Infinity Stone abilities." Gan quickly replicated the abilities of the Space and Mind Stone.
If Gan felt changed with the Reality and Space Stone, the Mind Stone had caused him to feel the greatest change. It was as if his mind had completely opened up. His memory was perfected now, Gan wouldn't forget the slightest detail when it came to something.
He possessed a photographic memory now, courtesy of the Mind Stone. He was able to read thoughts, unleash mental blasts on others, and alter memories. Gan had even greater abilities, as this was merely the tip of the iceberg of his newfound power.
Gan had to hold his head for a while to receive the full power of the Mind Stone. The Space Stone allowed him access to everything Space-related. Gan could even manipulate gravity and open and close black holes, wormholes, and create dimensions.
The Space also played a role in Asgard's conquest of the nine realms. Allow them to access other dimensions.
"I have so many creative ideas I can use these powers for." This was particularly true for the Reality and Space abilities he acquired.
"That's right, I can now cure my friend of her cancer with my reality-altering abilities." Gan had thought it through the minute he received the Reality Stone's powers.
"Before that, I should send these stones back to Jack." Gan didn't hesitate and sent the Infinity Stones back to Jack-O-Lantern.
-Cosmic King(26): The stones didn't work, but thanks anyway. Talk to you later, I'm going to log off now.- (💬)
Gan didn't give Jack any time to reply and logged off. He was so excited that his heart rate wouldn't slow down.
"Okay, okay, okay." Gan sat on his bed for a minute and waited for his heart rate to return to normal.
Gan began testing his abilities, he first levitated before flying around the room. He smoothly landed before turning to the gold sitting on his bed.
"I don't need gold right now, but I could sell some in the future. Hmm, I could also create new metals that could rival or surpass Vibranium and Adamantium."
Even Uru, which was the make-up of Thor's hammer, could be superseded. Gan's thoughts raced elsewhere, these were things for another time.
It was best to stay low-key and not let anyone know about his real abilities. According to his power, it was similar to Protégé; with the fact that he could replicate anyone's abilities, he saw or touched.
Even Hope Summer and Synch wouldn't be able to replicate his powers. As Gan's Narrative ability granted him Absolute Mimicry Immunity.
Wouldn't entities like the Living Tribunal or the other Cosmic Beings view him as a threat? Gan came from a higher Narrative, so he could technically bypass the law set on this world.
He could truly become Omnipotent if he saw the One Above all or Falcrum.
"At most, I could become Nigh-Omnipotent, but truly becoming Omnipotent is a task in of itself." He would need to study his powers more, so he could figure these things out.
"Okay, I will be visiting my friend tomorrow, so I need to create something for her."
Gan wanted to create a ring that would heal her cancer. He couldn't just heal her cancer immediately, or that would be too suspicious. Instead, he opted to create a ring with healing properties that targeted [Cancer Cells].
In the same way, Gan had created the gold Ignot; matter began to form between his palm. He realized that using his creativity to bring things into existence was not as difficult as he had anticipated.
The ring was formed from solid gold, featuring intricate patterns throughout. Gan opted for Topaz as the selected gemstone to be set within and around the gold band. These gems were unique in that they emitted an orange glow from time to time.
"It's as beautiful as I imagined, literally." To ensure that this ring was imbued with the properties he wanted, Gan opened the chat room again.
At the auction area, you could have items appraised for 5 points per item.

Name: ???
Rank: Yellow / Rare 🟡
Created By: Cosmic King
Description: This ring is endowed with the ability to cure all forms of cancer at [𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐮𝐦 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐝]. In addition to curing cancer at [𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐮𝐦 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐝], it halts the advancement of the illness. While worn, it also protects the wearer from contracting most diseases.

"Perfect! It really has the traits I wanted it to have! Let's call it the Ring of Restoration." Gan was satisfied with this ring.
Afterward, he quickly created a regular stainless steel safe before placing it inside.
"I feel so much better now that this worrisome situation has been taken care of." This had been his biggest worry since he learned that his friend was diagnosed with cancer.
"I learned a few things from my ability, and that's how to reach True Omnipotence."
From the information he had gained, Gan would need people to use the source power from his creations. Not just his creations, but the power he could bestow upon others. This was glorifying him in a way that would boost his strength.
For instance, Gan had thought about recreating the Green, Blue, Red, Yellow, and Indigo Lantern Corps. If people used his creations on a universal level, his power would increase greatly.
Gan would need to spread his influence in some way. It could be through the use of his inventions, having a wife and children, creating worlds, or bestowing power and abilities onto people.
"There are many unique things I want to create, but I should probably create my own realm." What he meant by realm was something similar to the Negative Zone, an outlet where people would draw their power from.
"The quickest way to reach Nigh-Omnipotence is by copying the abilities of a Cosmic Entity." The Shuttle Voucher was good just for that, but he couldn't use it until three years later.
Some chat members talked about this recently.
A guy from the Pokémon world was once given the Master Ball, but he couldn't teleport to his favorite legendary. This was because he had to wait three years before using the Shuttle Voucher.
"Honestly, my biggest priority is to gather the last three Infinity Stones. I wonder if the Illuminati even has the Infinity Stones at this time?"
If they didn't have them, then they were still in the universe elsewhere. He had no way of tracking them.
"I can read minds and mind control people. If I encounter any of these members, I can simply force the information out of them."
However, using the Mind Control on Xavier would probably be more trouble than it's worth. Professor. X wasn't to be underestimated when it came to the mind.
"Professor X would possess the Mind Stone, which is an Infinity Stone I don't need. I won't need to face Xavier, which is a relief."
Charles and his X-Men weren't to be trifled with, though Gan was quite confident in his Infinity Power.
Gan also needed to train this ability a bit more, though his power was stronger than the infinity stone alone.
"Should I consider crime fighting..." Gan smiled while stroking his chin.
With his abilities, he could certainly hide his identity from anyone.
"Gan! Mom said dinner is ready; you've been down there all day. What the heck are you doing? Anyway, something crazy happened earlier, it's on all the news outlets."
Gan suddenly heard his brother Galen knocking and shouting at the door. He got off his bed before exiting his room and heading upstairs from his hallway.
------
Elsewhere In the Multiverse.
A man with blonde hair could be seen in a laboratory; he wore a lab coat and had fair skin.
"He returned the Infinity Stones so quickly. Did he concoct a cure for cancer that fast?" A nooby knew how to use the stones right away?
This was clearly 'Jack-O-Lantern'.
"This guy's clearly from the Marvel Verse, that's for sure. I didn't expect him to use the stones, or perhaps he failed to use..Oh.." That was when Jack saw the message, it seemed the stones had failed him.
"Damn! He logged off so fast I couldn't even ask anything." Jack hadn't looked for some time, but when he finally opened his inbox to collect the Infinity Stones, he was astonished by what he found.
"What? How? How is this possible?!" Jack's face reddened from shock.
Gan's Token, which had been a Low Grade White Token, had turned Red. His Token had turned into a Medium Grade Red Token!
One had to know that Tokens had 7 known colors. These colors represent that individual's chat group power level. Every color was assigned subgrades ranging from Low to High, with High indicating the highest level within that tier.
The colors went as such: White, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Red, and Purple. There were ranks above these, which belonged to Cosmic-level beings.
"This is impossible! How could his rank jump like this?!" Jack was extremely baffled. This was simply impossible, or did his eyes deceive him?
"No! It was definitely a Low Grade White Token before!" Jack had done a few calculations related to these tokens and their strength level.
For instance, the Sentry. His strength would easily place him in the Purple Class, which was the high (Non)-Nigh-Omnipotent Class.
Or simply put, this was a class that far surpassed what mortals could normally ever achieve.
Entities that fell into this Class were the Eternals, the Celestials, Thanos, Sentry, Galactus, Etc. These entities usually couldn't die to the likes of time itself and would live forever, if not killed.
"These beings had limitations—especially Galactus, who needed to be well fed to pull off some serious feats." Individuals like Odin and Zeus would be classified as High-Grade Purple Class beings.
Jack had read many Marvel comics, he knew what was to come. The Incursions that were caused by the Beyonders using Molecule Man as a bomb. Thus, he could somewhat gauge everyone's power level.
Someone like Captain Marvel was either Low or Medium Red. There was also the Hulk, whose strength depended on the version and his emotional state.
"Someone like Thanos wielding the Infinity Gauntlet far surpasses Purple Class. His strength is reaching Cosmic levels of power." Jack almost had enough points to buy information about higher classes.
"What Ultimate ability did you unlock, Cosmic King?" Jack stared at the token for a while and could only sigh in the end. He had a buddy from DC, who was a Low-Purple Class, but now he could also gain the assistance of a Red Rank as well.
"We'll meet someday." Jack didn't bother thinking about it anymore, or he might go crazy speculating.
