With the blaze of Phoenix flames casting an ethereal glow across the ship, Peter stood amidst the aftermath of the cosmic confrontation. Thanos, once a looming threat, now reduced to ashes scattered across the metallic floor, served as a somber testament to the end of an era.

Exhaustion settled into Peter's limbs, and he slowly collapsed onto his backside, taking a few measured breaths. The physical exertion of battling Thanos had been manageable, thanks to the enhanced abilities. However, the true toll came from the application of the Infinity Stones on such a grand scale.

As Peter caught his breath, he contemplated the immense power he had wielded to transform countless barren wasteland planets into thriving paradises. The scope of the endeavor had drained him far more than the physical combat. The Phoenix flames around him flickered, their intensity reflecting the ebb and flow of Peter's own energy.

"That was a bit more taxing than I anticipated," Peter muttered to himself, his words punctuated by a sigh of weariness. The sheer magnitude of altering the destinies of millions of planets had taken its toll on him, leaving a sense of fatigue that lingered beneath the surface. 'Maybe I should have done a hundred thousand planets at a time instead of doing them all at once...'

With a self-reflective gaze, Peter acknowledged that using the Infinity Stones for grand, universe-altering acts required a considerable investment of his own energy. It was a revelation that resonated through the core of his being. While the stones granted godlike abilities, there were limits to what even someone like him could achieve without suffering consequences.

"I guess using these stones on a large scale is a bit like running a marathon," Peter mused, his tired eyes focused on the distant remnants of the Phoenix-infused flames. "You can do it, but it's not something you want to do every day."

The exhaustion in his bones served as a clear reminder that wielding such immense power came with risks. He concluded that, moving forward, he needed to exercise caution, not pushing the boundaries of what his body could handle.

After all, even Thanos severely hurt himself when he snapped away half of the universes population in the movies. The potential consequences of using more of the stones power than he could handle loomed in Peter's mind, a danger that he was keen on avoiding.

'Well, it's not like I plan on altering the universe on such a grand scale again, so I doubt I'll ever need to worry about it...' Peter shrugged uncaringly. Although he was technically limiting his use of the stones, the limiter was only placed on anything above simultaneously terraforming millions and millions of planets throughout the universe.

It wouldn't hinder him one bit.

(A/N: Just to be clear, this is not me nerfing Peter or the stones. I hate when Authors do that so I won't ever do it.)

After Peter snapped his fingers, channeling the power of the Infinity Stones to gift the Dwarves of Nidavellir with an upgraded neutron star, he watched the surprised looks on the Dwarves face with a smile. The warm hues of the golden star reflected the dumb expressions they were currently making.

As Peter stopped watching the Dwarves, a voice, gentle yet powerful, resonated over his shoulder, catching him off guard. Peter, with a start, spun around to find himself face to face with a figure that was extremely familiar. It was as if the essence of Stan Lee had materialized before him, wearing a knowing smile.

Instantly, realization dawned on Peter... this was no ordinary being. It was the One Above All, the supreme deity of the Marvel Multiverse.

"That's a very nice thing you've done for the Dwarves, and the rest of the universe as well," the figure said, the voice carrying a sense of cosmic wisdom.

Peter, still processing the sudden appearance, stammered a surprised greeting, "Uh, hello there... sir?"

The figure chuckled softly. "No need to be alarmed, Peter. I'm here because it's been a while since someone collected all of the Infinity Stones in this universe."

Hopping to his feet, Peter struggled to find the right words, his eyes wide with a mix of fear and awe. "Oh, uh, okay, sir?" Although Peter has seen the One Above All a few times, he never had a conversation with him. Every time they met, he would be in some sort of disguise and swiftly disappear before he could say anything.

The One Above All smiled kindly, reassuring Peter. "No need for formalities. Just call me Stan, if you will. I'm here because I'm happily surprised that, for once, the Infinity Stones have fallen into the hands of a good guy. You know, not many Spider-Men have collected the stones. People like you are exceedingly rare. You should be proud."

"Umm, thank you." Peter smiled, his hand raising to scratch the back of his head awkwardly. After all, it's not everyday that an all powerful god of the Marvel Multiverse compliments you.

"You're welcome." The One Above All smiled kindly as he checked his watch. "Oh, it seems I have an appointment to get to. Sorry to take up your time like this."

Peter shook his head. "No, it's fine. After all, it's not everyday I get to meet a god..."

The One Above All waved Peter's words off uncaringly. "Like I said, just treat me normally." He says as he began to fade away. "It was nice to officially meet you, Peter. I hope to see more of your incredible feats. They've certainly been entertaining thus far..."

As the godly Stan Lee disappeared, Peter couldn't help but raise a brow at the revelation that the One Above All had been watching him. It was as if his life had become some cosmic movie or TV show. The thought both amused and unnerved him, realizing that his actions were under the observation of the supreme deity.

Just as Peter was processing this encounter, Superman came flying in, his blue eyes filled with curiosity. "Hey, Peter, who were you just talking to?"

Peter, still grappling with the surreal encounter, shook his head in disbelief. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you..."
