Power Stone

**Power Stone**, also known as the **Jewel of Power**, is one of the six Infinity Stones. It has the power to strenthen others' powers and increases the other Infinity Stones.

## Summary

The Power 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, the Stone got into the possession of Eson the Searcher, one of the Celestials who chose not to inhabit Earth but instead travel the near-infinite universe. However, unlike other Celestials whose wanderlust gives them the desire of discovering new cultures and civilizations simply for the sake of satisfying their curiosity, Eson used the Stone's power to destroy planets he deemed "unworthy".

After a while, Eson's nine children planned a coup d'état against him and killed him, abandoning his corpse in empty space while taking the Power Stone for themselves. However, due to their own desires, the nine gods turned against each other and all soon died, leaving the Stone - Now sealed within an orb to contain its power - hidden on the planet [Morag], where it was stored it in a secret tomb beneath a vast ocean that would recede only once every 300 years.

In 19XX, the orb had been found by Peter Quill, who found himself on a mission with the Guardians of the Galaxy to sell it before Ronan the Accuser could find it and give it to Thanos. The Guardians took it to the Collector where he used his technology to open the orb and was willing to pay them once he found out what was sealed inside.

However, the Collector's assistant saw an opportunity to gain the power to kill her master and attempted to grab the Stone to use it, only for its power to violently rip through her body, destroying her entirely as well as much of the Collector's Museum. The Guardians attempted to escape with the Orb, only to be found by Ronan and his soldiers.

However, due to Quill's demigod heritage, he accidentally pulled the Power Stone toward him with his divine energy before absorbing it, much to everyone's horror. The absorption caused Quill's body to go into overdrive, releasing waves of pure energy capable of annihilating Ronan and his entire fleet, though he was later restrained by the Collector and the Guardians. And yet, despite this, while his mind was restored to normal, the Stone accidentally got merged with him entirely, transforming him into a demigod/Infinity Stone hybrid.

## Appearance

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

## Abilities

The Power Stone is the Infinity Stone that embodies both the sustaining and destructive forces of the universe, thus making it among the most powerful artifacts in the world. At its core, it has the power to augment the wielder's capabilities, physical and magical, for near-limitless times, granting them unlimited stamina, and near-invincible in terms of raw strength.

At its core, the Stone possesses tremendous energy manipulation capabilities. It can generate, shape, and manipulate near all kinds of energy in existence - Saved for angelic energy and demonic energy due to their unique properties - and can even grant the wielder a near-invulnerability against energy-based weapons and attacks. Wielders can also use it to project fiery purple energy beams and waves, strong enough to destroy an entire planet. Due to the amount of energy the Stone releases, it is the most destructive out of all the Infinity Stones in terms of raw energy output.

The Stone can also be used via a conduit or a medium, preventing the need to touch it while still being able to utilize its power. If multiple beings are linked together, the Stone's power is distributed among each of them, making it easier to withstand the Stone's effects, as demonstrated by the Guardians of the Galaxy or Eson's nine children (originally).

The Power Stone can augment five other Stones, increasing their powers by hundreds to thousands of times, though according to Khaos, there are certain limitations up to how much energy can be imbued into the Stones until "shit goes bad".
