As key items in every Universe, he had to collect the six infinity stones for himself eventually, whether he used them or not.
Otherwise, if someone else gathered them all, the threat to him would be far too great.
Since he was destined to collect and use the six stones anyway, why not take advantage of the boost his constitution received from absorbing Thanos's power and try out the 'Six Stones Trial Card' now!
He wanted to see in advance exactly how strong the backlash from using all six stones was!
Presumably, if Thanos and Hulk could withstand it, there was no reason he, with a constitution stronger than theirs, couldn't!
Facing Ryan's outstretched hand, Captain America hesitated for only a moment before handing over the Hammer-axe embedded with the Power Stone and the Reality Stone from his Vibranium shield.
But as Ryan took them, Captain America suggested, "Ryan, although I believe your strength is enough to use the six stones, I think we still need to find Tony first."
"Because the Nano Gauntlet used to link the power of the six stones is with Tony. Without it, we can't use the stones."
"However, I don't know where that woman you crushed the head of earlier hid Tony. I originally planned to ask her, but now it seems I can't..."
Captain America looked at Supergiant on the ground, whose head was mangled and who was as dead as could be, and his mouth twitched violently.
Hearing Captain America's words, Ryan simply gripped the Soul Stone in his right hand slightly. Instantly, his eyes emitted an orange glow just like Supergiant's had, but even brighter!
After a moment, Ryan pointed toward the Avengers Base and said calmly, "Tony is fine; he was just knocked unconscious by Supergiant's sneak attack."
"As for needing a Nano Gauntlet to snap your fingers, I can only say your thinking is too rigid. Whether it's Thanos's Infinity Gauntlet, Tony's Nano Gauntlet, or even the snap itself, they are just mediums, not the only way to use the six stones..."
After speaking, the Tesseract, eye of agamotto, and the Mind Stone scepter in Ryan's hands—treasures that were originally cosmic artifacts—were swallowed into Ryan's body by the Symbiote along with the six infinity stones.
In an instant, Ryan, with the six stones inside him, radiated a violent six-colored light from the inside out. That light even dyed his silver-white spider suit into a hex-colored hue!
Especially the black spider emblem on his chest; it now not only turned into a six-colored spider but also looked as if it had come to life, extending its eight differently colored long legs to wrap around Ryan's entire body, making him look both divine and terrifying!
As the vessel—or rather, the Master—of the six stones, Ryan's own sensations were even more miraculous.
With the blessing of the six stones, the first thing Ryan felt was neither the immense power they gave him nor the painful backlash they brought, but rather entering a strange space.
In that space, there was no sky, no ground, and no people...
Beneath his feet was a boundless white web, and above his head was an equally boundless web...
And in this space composed of webs, besides himself, the only thing present was a single spider...
A spider that stood tall between heaven and earth, with an incredibly massive body and... long legs patterned in red, blue, and black!
That was... the Tri-colored Spider that bit him in his previous life!
It was also the Tri-colored Spider that brought him his Spider Abilities in this life and allowed him to absorb the abilities of other Spider-Men!
Ryan stared fixedly at it, and it stared down at Ryan with its eight pitch-black eyes as if it possessed sentience.
In its eight large eyes, Ryan seemed to see three different Worlds.
One was the World of his previous life, that ordinary life where he was an orphan.
One was the World where he was now a Spider Monarch, an invincible life where his family was happy and his power was so great he didn't even have to 'eat beef'!
The last one was... hm?
Ryan saw the images of the final World in the eight eyes and raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Because that World wasn't one he had experienced; instead, it seemed like a slideshow of what others had gone through.
It showed the entire process from becoming a Spider-Man to being hunted, all from the primary perspective of various Spider-Men.
And the ones hunting these Spider-Men from different Universes were a family dressed like Vampires.
Ryan recognized this family the moment he saw them.
Wasn't this the nightmare of countless Spider-Men in the comic Universe, the hunters of the spider totem, Inheritor Family of the Vampire Totem?
What did this mysterious Tri-colored Spider mean by showing him this now?
Was it warning him that in the Multiverse he was in, a version of Inheritor Family that hunts Spider-Men had appeared?
Ryan was never one who liked to ponder aimlessly; if he didn't understand, he would ask.
Therefore, he looked away from the World images in the Tri-colored Spider's eyes and asked directly: "You're showing me this because you want to say that in my Multiverse, Inheritor Family has already appeared?"
Tri-colored Spider: "Chirp, chirp chirp, chirp chirp chirp!"
Ryan:...
He admitted he had Spider Abilities and was even the leader of his Universe's Spider Family, but that didn't mean he could actually understand Spider-speak!
Ryan tried to use the power of the Infinity Stones to translate the Tri-colored Spider's language, but what reached his ears was still the 'chirping' of a spider...
Damn it, can't this Mind Stone and Soul Stone even translate a spider's words?
Are they this useless?
What happened to being omnipotent once all six infinity stones are gathered?
As expected, the rumors are all lies!
However, this also confirmed for Ryan that this Tri-colored Spider, which brought him through time and gave him his Spider Abilities, definitely had a higher status than the six infinity stones, which is why their power couldn't affect it!
In that case, rounding up, does that mean his own status is also higher than the six stones?!
Thinking this way, Ryan suddenly felt quite good about it!
Therefore, Ryan was no longer annoyed and decided to change his questioning method: "How about this, I ask and you answer. If yes, you nod; if no, you shake your head. Nod for yes, shake for no, understand?"
The Tri-colored Spider heard this and nodded.
"Good, then let me ask you..."
Crack—
Ryan had only just said 'let me ask you' and hadn't even started his question when this World woven from spiderwebs suddenly collapsed like a mirror!
Ryan's consciousness was kicked directly out of the room and back to the real World.
Holy shit, I haven't even started asking yet!
Returning to reality, the veins on Ryan's forehead throbbed. Besides the six-colored light of the Infinity Stones on his body, a streak of extremely resentful black appeared on his brow.
What he hated most were people who spoke in riddles, and of all things, this had to be cut off just as he reached the critical moment of his questioning!
He had finally managed to use the power of the six stones to communicate with that mysterious Tri-colored Spider once, but the communication was cut off just as it began. Who could stand that?
Most importantly, he couldn't even find the person who cut it off!
He had all this anger and nowhere to vent it!
