Marvel: Saint Seiya Starting with the Reality Stone

The moment Mike's fingertips touched the dark red mist of blood in the Reality Gem, the Reality Gem, which had been writhing as if it had a life of its own, suddenly surged wildly into Mike's body, like pent-up water finally finding an outlet.

Mike felt a burning sensation in an instant.

The dark red blood mist, like living vines, spiraled upwards along his wrist and then slowly seeped into his skin.

Visible dark red lines began to appear on Mike's arm.

next second.

The Reality Gem drilled into his body.

But we're still exploring it further.

thump.

thump.

Boom!

At that moment, Mike could clearly hear his own heartbeat.

He felt completely paralyzed, yet his consciousness remained sharp enough to hear his own heartbeat growing louder and louder.

Mike had not forgotten the purpose of his trip.

By borrowing the power of the Reality Stone, he awakens the cosmos within him, allowing the power of the Saint Seiya to manifest in this Marvel universe.

Mike suppressed the urge to fall asleep, feeling the Reality Stone—which was like blood—surging through his veins, and tried to use its power to awaken the dormant universe within him.

In the world of Saint Seiya, the Cosmo is the foundation of a Saint, the source of their inexhaustible power.

As long as a Saint's Cosmo exists, the Saint possesses inexhaustible energy.

Even everyone possesses their own inner universe.

Anyone who can perceive the existence of their own inner universe and, through training, perfects their five senses to the extreme, can awaken and ignite their own inner universe.

Mike naturally knew how to unleash his inner power.

Even after he awakened his memories of his two previous lives and learned that the power of the Saint Seiya could not be manifested in the Marvel Universe, he did not actually choose to settle down as an ordinary person as he had said.

At least after Mike awakened his memories, from the age of eighteen until today, he still maintained the cultivation habits he had in the Sanctuary during his second life.

He has now trained his five senses to their peak again, but due to the barrier between worlds, although he can perceive his own universe, he cannot awaken and ignite it in the Marvel Universe.

But things are different with the Reality Stone.

The Reality Stone is the key that allows his inner universe to be awakened and ignited in this universe.

none of them.

soon.

The immense energy contained within the ether particles condensed into a small vortex within his body, and then began to spin wildly around a certain point.

Like a star about to be ignited making its final accumulation before collapsing.

at the same time.

Mike, with his keen senses, also noticed that his life force was being constantly drained.

Reality Gem: If you have mana, you lose mana; if you run out of mana, you lose life.

At this moment, with his cosmos not yet awakened, Mike, who is trying to awaken and materialize his cosmos using the Reality Stone, is having his life force drained by the Reality Stone that has already possessed him.

Mike could even feel death approaching.

But he doesn't care.

because!

Unsuccessful, they become benevolent.

There is no third option.

at last!

As Mike's life force was being continuously drained by the Reality Stone, he could no longer hold on. His eyelids closed completely, and his body began to fall backward.

But just a second before he completely lost consciousness.

Mike saw a light.

A blazing white light suddenly emerged from the dark red vortex within his body.

next second.

A slight smile appeared on Mike's lips.

Because he knew very well what this newly born, blazing white light represented.

His little universe.

At the very moment Mike lost consciousness, the blazing white light manifested by Mike using the Reality Stone, represented by his life force, began to emanate.

It began to expand.

Like the Big Expansion of the universe.

The moment Mike's cosmos was materialized by the Reality Stone, it began to spin wildly and absorb the energy of the surrounding aether particles.

In an instant.

The ether particles became the fuel at the point of the explosion of the microcosm, gradually spinning and growing stronger.

From a spark to a flame, and from a flame to a blazing fire.

The color of the flames kept changing, and the color of the small universe that was beginning to take shape around the flames gradually changed from the initial incandescent white to the blood red of the Reality Gem.

After all, Mike's universe shouldn't have appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

It exists because of the Reality Gem.

and so--

In the second life, the microcosm that should have been white with a hint of gold has transformed into the blood red of the Reality Gem.

After the crimson cosmos was born within him, the Reality Stone, which had been absorbing Mike's life force, seemed to sense something else good. It stopped absorbing Mike's life force and instead completely merged into the cosmos that had been born within him and was now rotating in sync with Mike's breathing.

This made Mike's inner universe look even more vibrant red.

at the same time.

Mike's limbs also began to regain sensation.

The first finger to move was the right index finger.

"Hey, his finger moved."

"where?"

"I'm sure I didn't see wrong, it really moved just now."

As Mike gradually regained consciousness, he suddenly heard a voice beside him and slowly opened his eyes.

into the eye.

Two women with contrasting personalities—one appearing aloof with a loose low ponytail, and the other looking more approachable with glasses—were squatting beside him.

It was Jane Foster and her assistant and friend Daisy Lewis.

Mike opened his eyes but didn't speak or move. He just lay quietly on the floor beneath him, looking at the seemingly moldy ceiling of the hallway.

Jane Foster, who had come here after hearing from her friend about the unusual gravity, was searching for the source of the unusual energy when she saw Mike lying alone on the floor of the fourth-floor hallway, motionless.

Jane Foster frowned slightly as she looked at Mike, who was still motionless after opening his eyes, and then examined Mike who was still lying on the floor.

"Sir, are you alright?"

"fine."

Mike continued to stare intently at the ceiling.

Seeing this, Daisy Lewis first tugged at Jane Foster's sleeve and took a small step back before speaking.

"Sir, how are you feeling now? Do you need to call...?"

"I feel good."

"Better than ever before."

Mike looked up from the ceiling, answering Daisy's question as he got up from the floor.

next second.

The power of his microcosm, already manifested by the ether particles, burst into flames within his body.
