**Space Stone**, also known as the **Jewel of Space**, is one of the six Infinity Stones. It has the power to control space, thus allowing the wielder to teleport to anywhere in the universe.

## Summary

The Space Stone is one of the Infinity Stones, six primordial crystals of immense power created by the Four Great Seraphs that can be considered singularities in their own right. Sometimes after the Big Bang, Gabriel caused the Stones to be scattered across the growing universe, causing the Earth-based deities to lose track of some of the most powerful artifacts in existence.

At some point in time, Odin came into the possession of the Stone, already in the form of the Tesseract, and believed it to be an Edenith artifact remained from Fifelvetr's reign. As such, he entrusted the artifact to Harald Fairhair, first King of Norway and one of his descendants through Aslaug.

In the 9th-century, after he founded the city of Tønsberg, Harald had his sorcerers built an underground temple dedicated to Odin and sealed the Tesseract there alongside many of the treasures from the battles and wars he won. He later killed two of the sorcerers as part of a human sacrifice to protect the temple, and erected a burial mound on top of it.

In 1942, while under the thrall of Loki, Johann Schmidt was able to procure the Tesseract from the temple and sought to use its power to mass-produce a line of advanced weaponry. However, as he realized the power managed to extract was beyond what he imagined, it gave him enough confidence to turn his back on the Third Reich entirely and make his own plans for world domination.

In 1945, Schmidt managed to refine the Tesseract's power into a series of devastating pseudo-magical bombs and a personal aircraft through which he intended to attack the United States. However, before he could finish his plans, his plan was boarded by Captain America, and in the chaos of the fight, Schmidt accidentally activated the Tesseract, incinerating himself and burning the decks of the aircraft, sending it and everyone down to the Arctic Ocean where it was later recovered by Howard Stark.

After helping to found S.H.I.E.L.D, Howard Stark studied the Tesseract for some time and eventually made many scientific and magical discoveries with it, among them were his Arc Reactor prototypes. Following Howard's passing, the Tesseract remained in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s care.

In 20XX, Loki found himself in an out-of-controlled alliance with Thanos, who agreed to supply him with a Chitauri army with which to conquer Earth in exchange for the Tesseract. Through a combination of sorcery and clever manipulation, he was able to infiltrate the S.H.I.E.L.D base where it was kept and used its radiated energy to open a stable wormhole in the sky of New York City for the Chitauri army to invade through. And yet, while the Chitauri made planetfall in New York City, they were defeated by the newly-formed Avengers.

Afterwards, Thor used the Tesseract to take it, alongwith himself and Loki, back to Asgard for Loki's awaiting trial, both for his outright breach of the ancient laws and his successful escape from prison. Upon further investigation by Odin, Frigga, and Freya, alongside Loki's detailed account about what Thanos had told him about the Tesseract, they discovered it was a medium for the Space Stone sealed inside and it was locked inside Odin's vault until the next meeting of the Council of Godheads when they could present the problem for any further decisions.

## Appearance

The Space Stone appears as an unpolished blue-colored crystal the size of an adult's fist.

## Abilities

The Space Stone is the Infinity Stone that represents and governs over space, thus making it among the most powerful artifacts in the world. At its core, it is primarily used to open portals to other locations and can even allow interdimensional travel, though it can also be used as an energy source as a single spark of its power was enough to create a small explosion. The Stone also emits low levels of gamma radiation when inside the Tesseract, which allows others to track its location and/or movement.

Notably, the Stone is implied to have a form of limited sentience and degree of intelligence, being noted as self-identifying itself as a "she" and performing sentient emotion and acts. Notably, it also has some control over its own energy output when being used as an energy source, and a certain distaste to those it considers "unworthy" of touching it, often brandishing them with terrible curses or an agonizing death as the result.

Aside from the ability to create portals and wormholes throughout the mortal world, the Stone can also increase the speed of the wielder, and allows them to manipulate gravity and create black holes. Some of its more powerful abilities allow one to appear in multiple places at once or alter the distance between objects contrary to the laws of physics.

At its peak, when being augmented by the Power Stone, it allows its user to be at all places in the universe at once simultaneously, a power Khaos noted to be similar to the Primordials' power to split their consciousness and send them to multiple locations at the same time, albeit at an universal level. However, since the wielder usually don't have divine power to protect their mind like the gods, multiple usages of this power can greatly deteriorated their mind at an immense speed.

## Forms

### The Tesseract

The **Tesseract** (正八胞体, *Seihachihōtai*) was a crystalline cube-shaped containment vessel for the Space Stone. Its exact origins remained unknown, though it's believed to have been created using Edenith technology due to the similarities between it and other First Men equipment found in Bláinn Fifelvetr's former fortress. According to rumors, it was created from the crystallized sap of the world tree Yggdrasil.

## Trivia

* On the murals in Odin's temple, the Stone is portrayed as purple winged horse.
