The nanoparticles struggled to reorganize in the palm of his left hand, barely wrapping the six shimmering gems—no, imprisoning them. He could feel their power tearing at his cells, disintegrating his mind, crushing his existence bit by bit into a subatomic state. It feels like your soul has been thrown into the core of a star, with every neuron screaming to burst.
"I... Finished..." His voice was hoarse and almost inaudible.

"You must snap your fingers!" Tony's voice trembled, not because of fear, but because this body could no longer bear the weight of six infinity stones. Blood overflowed from his nostrils, ears, and eyes, drawing dark red rivers on his dirty faceplate.
