The Reality Stone was finally mine.But possessing it and wielding it were two very different things.
The first lesson every Infinity Stone teaches its wielder is that the Stone is only as powerful as the body and mind channeling it. And despite everything I had built over these ancient decades—my intelligence, my technology, my authority—I was still, fundamentally, a human. A very smart human. A very resourceful human. But still: human.
And the Reality Stone was not something a simple human could hope to fully control.
So I opened the system store.
Decades of missions, research, operations, and anomaly captures had given me a massive pool of accumulated points. And now I was going to spend most of it on something far more important than weapons or technology—
Myself.
I scrolled through page after page of high-tier rewards, passing by countless tempting abilities and artifacts. But eventually, I selected four upgrades—four that would permanently reshape my mind and body into something capable of channeling true cosmic power.
And then, without hesitation…I bought them.
1. The Mind of Rick Prime
Instantly, everything changed.
My consciousness expanded in directions I barely understood. Memories—no, lifetimes—slammed into my brain. Rick Prime's genius, his ruthless logic, his cosmic awareness, his limitless capacity for invention…
All of it was now mine.
I felt my intelligence mutate into something monstrous. Thoughts layered over thoughts. I could now model entire universes inside my head. Interdimensional travel, dimensional engineering, temporal mechanics, multiversal physics—everything Rick Prime mastered ignited inside my neurons.
I had become one of the smartest beings in the multiverse.
And the Reality Stone responded to that intelligence like a beast recognizing its new master.
2. Perfect Uzumaki Bloodline
The transformation was immediate and overwhelming.
The Uzumaki vitality surged through my cells like a storm. My lifespan lengthened. My regeneration sharpened. My chakra reserves became vast, oceanic, practically infinite. My life force swelled until it almost hummed beneath my skin.
This was the key—the raw durability required to survive direct contact with the Reality Stone.
Now, it would no longer burn through my body.Now, it would obey me.
3. Complete Knowledge of Mito Uzumaki's Fūinjutsu
Seals—thousands of them—unfolded in my mind like blooming lotus flowers.
Barrier seals. Containment seals. Contract seals. Binding chains.The Adamantine Sealing Chains themselves.
I now possessed mastery over one of the most broken, god-tier arts in all of Naruto.
And this?This was a game changer for the Foundation.
Fūinjutsu could restrain demons, immortals, chakra monsters—even gods. Combined with SCP containment tech, the possibilities were terrifying. I could seal away cosmic-level SCPs, bind eldritch entities, restrain reality-warpers…
All of this knowledge would become the bedrock of a new era of containment science.
4. Manipulation of the Six Elements: Water, Earth, Wind, Fire, Light, and Shadow
This was the final piece I needed.
True elemental mastery.
Not magic. Not bending.Perfect manipulation, shaped entirely by imagination.
I could become shadow, travel through shadow, or kill with shadow.I could forge blades of pure light, shields of light, wings of light.I could create chains of living water, walls of stone, storms of wind, infernos hotter than plasma.
I could breathe underwater, survive in lava, or reshape landscapes.
This wasn't combat ability.This was absolute elemental dominion.
By the end of it, my point total had dropped to a sad, miserable 15.
But I didn't regret a single purchase.
Because now?
Now I finally had a mind worthy of wielding an Infinity Stone.A body capable of surviving its power.And abilities that would redefine what the SCP Foundation could accomplish in this ancient world.
The Reality Stone pulsed inside its Vibranium container—almost as if it sensed my evolution.
And for the first time since acquiring it…I felt truly ready to use it.
