Curate, connect, and discover
Hello, I have to say that I love your edgy Infinite art, especially with all the references to infinity! I am so curious about your AU and would love to learn more about it.

Awe ty!! First let me say I was so happy to see this in my inbox this morning :,] anyhow ask and you shall receive (-I’m horrible at explaining my thoughts, but hopefully I can explain them well enough )
Okay, so this is basically the project that would subsequently bring forth infinite’s creation and existence. The project itself was focused around, using the phantom ruby’s powers without having to worry about the phantom ruby’s on sentience, and thus its own motivations and etc.
Sidenote, here for the phantom ruby, I would imagine it being sort of like Ophiocordyceps unilateralis/zombie-ant fungus and Leucochloridium/zombie snail parasite in the way that it can bend the hosts mind and body to its own will or I guess would typically be able to.
Although the phantom ruby in this dimension is being held in very tight, confinement in which it can’t use its powers, and is very dull down. Of course these scientists or whoever still want to use its powers, so that’s what starts the experiments to make a life form able to control the phantom ruby powers without getting “possessed”.
Another side note about the ruby. I would say the ruby is a bit more uhh malevolent here when it finds a host over time as it gains more control over them the more of their life it drains… usually resulting in the host death.
Thus, as you probably imagine many, many "failed" experiments, but eventually they succeed (Kinda).. Infinite is definitely not fully what these scientists were hoping for, but most importantly, his body can withstand the phantom ruby’s power enough that it doesn’t result in him dying so they take what they got.
They have Infinite wearing inhibitors so the phantom ruby won’t take control of his mind and make him do, it’s bidding (also to dull the powers of the Ruby itself so if anything were to potentially go wrong they can still control infinite..) and you know everything is going well for the most part…
Though all things must come to an end and as time passes, the ruby is able to build up enough power to break through one of the inhibitors, and talk to infinite and start manipulating him. It doesn’t happen immediately, but eventually destruction, chaos, the fabric of reality breaking apart, you know, and infinite being OP because honestly he should’ve been.
Okay, I left out some stuff, mainly near the end simply bc I didn’t wanna rant too much and also I wrote the majority of this at three am.. but I hope I explained this well enough that you understand :,]
