Ch.51

Grinning I quickly integrated with it and shattered the overly large cradle I'd made as I stepped out now seemingly seven foot two and dwarfing my other bodies before it without size modifications.

I felt lighter yet when I casually stepped on the Gradium floor, it thumped like a gun shot or a truck backfiring. I frowned and flexed my lean muscles and waved a hand as a gust of air waved some papers on the desk halfway across the room. Frowning I shrugged and figured I'd learn to control it in battle.

I summoned my armor and took my symbiote that was looking at the floor without direction. I wrapped it around my shoulders and turned it into a cloak before teleporting outside to the city shield lines that were taking damages. So far it was just Thanos punching it to get out attention and I noticed his hand had a green stone as well. Grunting, I called the Avengers and assembled everyone powered.

Thanos and his lot were at the port so I hit the shields to max and told Fury to rain down hell on him to weed out the herd of aliens he had with him. Both him, the shield agents led by Coulson and the powered and enhanced people gathered starting firing off weapons, abilities and even quakes.

The shield was one way so it was fine and with the sea quake stoppers there's little risk of damage elsewhere. Shit got intense quick as the sky lit up with plasma, laser and drone blasts as well as missiles, nukes and powers all landing on the army on the other side. When they were mostly dead, I lowered the shields to charge only for Thanos to grin and bring his army back with the reality stone.

Growling I fired lasers from my eyes and traded Natasha my swords for the symbiote cloak I was using before forming and using them for the first time in a very long time. He grinned and his army charged as I roared and threw my blades like deadly chakrams. They mowed down the front lines as one scratch or slice was instant dead and I through them hard enough to send them into orbit if I'd thrown upwards.

Thanos tried to bring back those that died as it was a decent amount but saw it failed. I summed the Asgardians, weapons in hand behind my people and charged as I shifted into a giant three story tall wolf and quakes were absorbed at a constant pace as I ran, tearing into his army.

The mutants, inhumans and shield agents charged behind me as the Avengers did the same and the Hulk dropped out of nowhere with Strange and the masters of the mystic arts. I ripped and charged through the front lines and Thor shot down to earth out of a Bifrost in all his god of thunder glory.

We wrecked the front lines and fought like demons but in the end Thanos was seemingly destined to get them all because Thor got to him just as he ripped the mind stone from Vision's head and put it in his gauntlet.

Then it became a fight of serious proportions as they all fought to keep him from snapping his fingers. I shifted back and smiled as Thor stabbed him in the chest with his new axe, Stormbreaker.

Thanos spoke evenly. "You should've gone for the head!"

I smirked and called the stones like I'd always planned and summoned them to me. I held them all as my eyes glowed red and I slowly absorbed them into myself. I used the time stone's effects to speed up the process and when Thanos snapped, I chuckled and broke out into a barreling laugh as it failed.

My laughter disturbed the battle and I snapped my own finger, killing all Thanos's people as they disintegrated. Thanos yelled. "What? How?!!"

I smirked and revived the dead on our side before speaking as Thor looked back to me. "It's easy to explain Thanos, you failed. I mastered the stones and even retrieved the seventh stone, after destroying Nemesis, the being they all came from. I've successfully integrated them all and now I can use them one major time to raise my strength four fold, but that's for later. Now, you die."

I moved faster than anyone else could blink and stabbed him with my swords I retrieved. He screamed and dropped dead as his essence was sucked out of him along with some blood I wanted to experiment with later. His body turned to grey ash as I removed the infinity gauntlet from his hand.

I tossed it to Thor saying. "Give that to Loki for me, he was so disappointed the last one was fake so he can keep the real one since it's almost useless now."

I turned to Strange who demanded. "Where's the time stone? What happened to them all?"

I sighed. "Give it up kid, the stones are gone now, fully integrated into my body, no longer stones but essence and power, mixed and whole at the same time. They aren't coming back."

He growled. "You don't understand, the order-"

I held up a hand. "The order was meant to train mystical defenders of earth, not to defend a stone Agamotto himself rarely used and never for defense. Not to speak I'll of the dead but he was a bit of a pervert, looking forwards in time to watch women bathe."

He charged his mystical chakrams and I waved a hand, sending him flying while taking his cape. "Don't try to challenge me kid. I trained with Agamotto twelve thousand years ago and I've only gotten better with age. Give it up, the mystic order isn't your toy to use as you wish and it's not your stepping stone to power. Yao said she sensed greed in you when you touched the stone so I can only assume you're a godling or a reincarnator. Either way, there are no more stones here and there never will be so good luck with whatever you do."

I unwrinkled the cape of levitation and asked it. "Really? Him?"

It shrugged and I shook my head. "Whatever, do as you like, just keep him out of trouble."

It bowed and floated back to Strange while the mystics shook their heads and left in shame. Strange stood up and dusted himself off before leaving in a disgruntled huff.

I'd marked him to bar his entry into Frosthaven from now on. I turned to Thor and the rest before waving a hand and repairing the city and telling everyone. "Thanks for your help, all I needed was time and a chance to prevent Thanos from the snap. Thor and each of you gave me that time. If you all want anything, just ask and I'll do my best. Until then, enjoy the day, because we survived."

As if on cue a huge roar of celebration spread out throughout the crowd as the bars would be packed for sure today. The Avengers gathered and I told them how I'd done it and why I hadn't told them. "Thanos could see all before the snap except what I'd do, so if I'd told you, he'd have had a chance to see it."

Tony asked. "Why couldn't he see what you were going to do?"

I smirked. "Because I got to the stones first over several thousand years and linked myself to them. I had enemies so I couldn't risk alerting them back then but now I have allies and all the gems so there's little to fear from most of them now. Soon I'll be dealing with all them and more. For now, just know earth is safe for a while at least."

I turned to Thor and all the Asgardians while Loki was holding the gauntlet with disappointment but still smiling a bit. "Asgard can now be rebuilt and if you'll allow me, I can add a personal touch of a shit time of wards and barriers to prevent it's fall or conquer ever again."

They each nodded and I smiled. "Then I know just where to put it. I can clear out the old Asgard space and put it there."

I teleported away to do just that. Asgard was now remade with Gradium in every column and wall. I added a star and wormhole drive as well as drone technology and a drone chair for the king or queen to sit in. That along with a shit ton of gold and rune work all over every inch, rock and water molecule insured Asgard would be well protected.

I stored an army of Gradium Destroyer armors in the berserker pit below the vault and put three giant diamond wars stones the size of Asgard together below and lines the walls with potentia's to fuel and recharge over time while it orbited the sun in that star system. I added all the amenities and luxuries I could think of and created a database for all the technology they had before and what I changed as well as all the new stuff now.

They'd figure it out I'm sure. I kept the bifrost the same as I'd rebuilt it exactly as before along with the bridge to it. The tree of life I left alone as they'd have to regrow one with faith or go without. I put all the gold and murals back while excluding the ones of Hela since she was no longer in this world. I'd ejected her ass when I destroyed her body and ate it.

When I finished, I opened up portals and brought them all back. After saying my peace, I bid them goodbye and went home. There I spent the rest of the day celebrating with the rest of the Avengers and my girls. That night I proposed to Jessica and the next day Natasha and I married with everyone in attendance.

At the end of the wedding, I have Peter Quill and his friends a gift. I summoned Gamora's soul from what remained of the soul gem and gave her a spark of creation or eternal flame as the Asgardians call it. That plus a tear from a Phoenix and an immortal apple was enough to mystically make her another body by drawing from the essence.

With her back alive, they celebrated as well. Fury even attended the wedding and Clint gave her away. We spent our honeymoon on Asgard and enjoyed each other for three days before she brought Jessica to give her a break from my relentless sex needs.

I may have left her rear red from my thrusts and after giving her the mystical equivalent of the upgrades, we'd broken the Gradium bed frame. Three months later Jessica and I got married and I passed the presidency to Vision to the UN's disgruntlement. He was in fact my last gift using the stone's power. I'd brought him back and made him human with the reality stone.

After imbuing him with the powers he was used to, he was happy to take the job. He was better at politics now though after I gave him a full mind download of the world's laws and what I intended for Frosthaven's future, he was a bit too good for everyone else's tastes.

The other countries complained and I pointed out Frosthaven was a dictatorship and he was immortal, along with his chosen girlfriend, Wanda, they'd be just fine. Fury finally got his Sword fully operational and Coulson a bit later with all the volunteers they received. They understood that even if we didn't go looking for trouble, it would come find us now.

Natasha announced her pregnancy when we got back from Jessica and my honeymoon in Paris, where she always wanted to go. Jessica announced hers a couple days later as they both seemed to be near the end of their first trimester so I knew it was during Natasha and my honeymoon that they got pregnant.

I'd taken to listening to the fluttering of the babies heartbeats while they slept. One evening I snuck away and headed out in search of the heart of the universe, a mystical power on par with those big entities and perhaps stronger than most of them.

While I searched for it, I raised my primordial essence and created another seventy five galaxies while training my body in the heart of a blackhole. It grew immensely stronger under the pressure as it healed rapidly while my symbiote body looked for the heart of the universe.

I estimated two months had passed on earth by the time my symbiote body found it and I sent it back to earth to attend the girls while I opened a portal to the heart. Growling, I used up my chance with the stones as I broke through to godking level with another three hundred galaxies forming before the power dissipated.

I then entered the heart of the universe, drawing its power as it was just leftover energy from the Big Bang anyway so I took it all, using it to strengthen my body to beyond Galactus levels of physical strength and I took in another two thousand one hundred galaxies worth of primordial essence.

Luckily that's what the heart of the universe was anyway so it was all good. I reached the limit of what this part of reality would allow and stoped as I sensed any more would cause issues.

The living Tribunal arrived along with the other major entities, sensing my new power. The living tribunal spoke. "You have taken what is not yours to take-"

I snorted. "Hardly. Ask your master and you'll find I'm well within my rights to use the heart of the universe to grow stronger. You are not my judge."

I radiated killing intent that would make most lesser beings flinch but did no more than make him say. "You are deemed innocent before the one above all."

The other entities, Galactus included looked at me with envy. I turned to the big lug and sent him a telepathic message about maybe eating Kree as their essence tasted like wine and perhaps finding out what the Progenitors tasted like.

He was drooling annnnd gone! Damn he's fast when he's hungry. I turned to look at the various entities before nodding and teleporting home. Those beings I can't kill without ending this universe as it would unravel, but the rest were fair game.

With a thought I used an overpowered account to summon all beings of god level or higher trapped or hiding on or around earth in dimensions. Thousands appeared before me in a field, mostly Deviants and Eternals.

With a thought, I ripped their essence out and filled my sword with all that made them powerful and special. This pissed off the Fulcrum who showed up and died as well, joining the essence pool. The horde was my next target and any celestials dumb enough to try anything on earth, but first, I slaughtered the demons and sent the rest that were either good or morally neutral away.

After finishing up the worst case scenarios, I returned to dote on my wives with both my bodies at their service. Natasha had a boy and Jessica a girl, both healthy and on the same day, just minutes apart.

Jessica delivered first, minutes before Natasha in the hospital. My children were well taken care of and healthy so a couple days later we left the hospital and Leo informed me he'd found Prue and Neal.

It seems they'd been out there all along having started the Ravagers crew with Stakar Ogord years and years ago when he'd asked them to join after they beat him down on the streets when he tried to rob them as a kid. They were in fact the reason he'd set the rule that they don't deal in kids, ever.

The same rule that had Peter's substitute father figure Yondu, banished from the Ravager ranks along with his crew. He'd been reinstated but that was a moot point now. They'd been using their contacts to find us and finally found earth a couple weeks before.

The only thing that slowed them down after that was Fury and his paperwork for visiting earth. Since he knew Leo and they mentioned Leo and each of us he'd called Leo in to confirm her story and he'd done so yesterday.

I chuckled at the news and we celebrated albeit quietly as the babies were sleeping. I set up the inhumans with their own planet before and two days later they needed it as I sensed something majorly wrong. The celestials, and nearly every existence equal to my own showed up.

Is slaughtered all the gods except the Norse and Egyptians on or connected to earth so they were few and far between now but when all the entities showed up with Galactus, threatening to fight me while he consumes the earth and all life on it if I didn't leave, I was forced to confront them, blade in hand.

Natasha and the Avengers as well as all the mutants and inhumans has gathered to back me but I knew it was impossible and so I agreed. Natasha and Jessica were in tears but I instead sent them to the magical earth in my inner galaxy realm along with the elves and our babies.

I offered the mutants that wanted to go a place as well and Wanda, Eric and Pietro were the only ones to agree along with Vision. The inhumans were warned and most that had families stayed in Frosthaven while an elite loyal faction along with most from the moon city went in to their world.

Daisy and I had a heartfelt goodbye as I took Prue and the rest in as well. In the end this reality was merely a training place for the real battles ahead. The living tribunal escorted me to the boarder of this reality where I saw a wall of goop surrounding it.

He spoke coldly. "The One Above All has agreed to clear a path through to the other side. Go forth and do not attempt to return else it will consume even you!"

I grunted and flew further ahead as the wall seemed to open into a long bright tunnel. I flew through it and heard my father's voice. "Never say I did nothing for you!"

I sighed as I realized I was getting smaller the farther in I flew until I heard a scream and a man's voice. "That's it Martha, he's here. Our son is here!"

(What the hell!)
