140 140. Alexander on trial

Alexander quietly looked at the Living Tribunal to speak. He's the caretaker of the multiverse (just the Universes linked to Marvel Universe).

The Living Tribunal was a vastly powerful humanoid cosmic entity that had existed as long as the universe itself. Its function was simply to safeguard the Multiverse from an imbalance of mystical forces. It may act to prevent one universe from amassing more power than any of the others, or from upsetting the cosmic balance in some way. The Tribunal may also act to prevent an overwhelming imbalance of good or evil within a universe.

He was a single entity beyond space and time. There was just one of him in the multiverse. In terms of power, he was just below the Beyonder(not the aliens) and the One Above All.

"Alexander Maxim Universe, God-son. You have created an imbalance in this universe and the multiverse. You are summoned for your trial." The Living Tribunal spoke.

"If you know my identity then you must also know that I work for the creator. It is my duty to bring good and destroy evil." He replied with not a tad bit of fear in his voice.

"But a balance must be kept, or else it would bring consequences." The Living Tribunal reasoned.

"No, the balance is not needed. If you have the power to bring good then you should. No one deserves to die because of this stupid mentality. Don't tell me Thanos got the idea of balance from you." Alexander mocked.

"No, Thanos does not kill for good. He kills to impress the Death. The balance is just a farce." He clarified.

"And yet you do nothing. Tell me, was it satisfying to see all those people die because of your messed up rules?" Alexander harshly questioned.

"With great power comes great responsibility and little happiness. My happiness is minuscule in front of keeping order in the universe." The Living Tribunal said in his majestic voice.

"Whatever, I advise you to not interfere with my work. You may think that it's your responsibility to put me on trial but let me clearly warn you. The creator would erase your existence if he found you are interfering with my work." Alexander warned and continued.

"One more thing, the Beyonders(the alien race) will kill you in a few years. You will need mine and I will need your help in dealing with them. They are the biggest threat to the multiverse. Beyonders are a near-omnipotent alien race from a dimension outside the multiverse. They have enough power to destroy this whole reality and then rebuild it from scratch. They can easily kill you, a being who can even nullify the infinity stones." Alexander reasoned.

"Yes, they are a very big threat. If what you said is true and they will come in the future, then your actions have been in the direction which would make the Universe stronger. I hereby deem you not guilty for now." The living Tribunal announced his judgment.

Alexander wasn't lying when he said that the Beyonders were a threat. Alexander didn't know how strong they were but they were strong enough to kill an entity like the Living Tribunal. Alexander knew he was strong but not strong enough to really even put a fight with the Living Tribunal. He'd probably just get killed and then respawn again and again until God helped.

After his talks ended, he left the place to Finta. He was going there to check up on Brian and his small Intergalactic merchant guild.

...

"So, how much have we made this year?" Alexander asked the 4 people in the meeting rooms. They were all his distributors of drinks. Brian was their leader.

"Haha, you won't believe me, Sir. Our business is still increasing. This year we made 12.3 Trillion credits." He happily announced. He was thanking all the gods he knew of for the past few years. Meeting Alexander was the biggest thing to have ever happened in his life.

He was now one of the five richest people in the Kree Empire. But it also brought danger to his life, so he sought help from Emperor Alexander. He received a magic artifact that would teleport him to his safe house in Finta in case his life was in danger. The same was the case with the other 3.

"How much after taking out your percentage?" Alexander asked.

"Sir, this is after taking out our percentage." The other guy, a half Skrull and half Kree spoke.

Alexander was truly surprised. "You all did a very good job. Here, bonuses for each of you. 5 billion credits each."

They all took it happily. Who doesn't love money?

"Alright, have fun, and keep doing business. I'll probably introduce another premium drink like Firewhiskey soon. It will be the opposite of Firewhiskey, called Frostwhiskey." He revealed. Frostwhiskey was also a magical drink, it was made by the Icemen in Frostheim. It had the property to calm down even an angry dragon in heat. Just like Fire whiskey, taking a sip of Frostwhiskey would make you spew vapors from the mouth, but cold instead of hot.

The 4 merchants had stars in their eyes, "We will be eagerly waiting for it, then."

After the meeting, Alexander went back to Earth. He let himself fall on Earth randomly while being invisible. Though it wasn't really random. He wanted to meet the Ancient One and he sensed her there.

*BOOM*

Alexander loudly touched the ground.

Mordo, who was with Ancient One, got into a fighting stance. But he was stopped by the Ancient One.

"He's a friend, Mordo." She told him.

~a friend falling from the sky?~ Mordo silently thought.

It took a few seconds for the dust cloud to settle down around Alexander.

"Hahaha, Yao, it's been a long time my friend." Alexander walked up to her with his iconic loud laugh and gave her a hug.

"I am surprised but none the less happy to see you here, God-son." She replied.

Mordo stood at the back, still trying to recognize the man but couldn't. Alexander still had his unrecognizable charm on.

"My friend, I came to meet you. What are you doing in China?" He asked.

"Oh, a group of Bandits called Dragon Raiders somehow got a hold on the Bow and Arrow of Apollon. It could be very destructive if left in their hands." She briefed.

"Hmm, indeed it can be dangerous. Let me help you then." He offered.

"I'll be glad." She said.

Alexander cast a silent Accio on the Dragon raiders group. Soon 15 men popped in front of him one by one. Each time a guy pops in Alexander would comically strike their heads with a big wooden hammer, making them fall unconscious.

"Very convenient, I must say." Ancient One interjected.

"Yes, too convenient. Don't we have a magic like that, Ancient One?" Mordo asked.

"Sadly, no. Our magic doesn't allow us to do such. But don't be saddened. You still have a lot to learn." She answered.

Alexander clapped his hands clean and picked up the bow and Arrow to examine it.

"Why the hell did Apollo leave this here," Alexander asked himself.

"It must have gotten stolen. Greek gods were in a hurry when leaving Earth and left many things like these behind." Ancient One reckoned.

"Possibly. They are also fools. Especially Zeus. Anyways, what are you going to do with it?" He asked.

"We will put it in our New York Sanctum. Let's go there." She opened a portal.

"Haha, I like these portals more than my way of teleportation. They are beautiful." Alexander exclaimed.

~Who is he? Calling the portal just beautiful. It's magnificent.~ Mordo internally exclaimed.

After putting the Bow and Arrow they went back to Kamar Taj, where Ancient One and Alexander found a nice spot with a good view of mountains and drank tea while talking.

"So, what can I help you with, God-son?" She spoke.

"Oh, don't hurt me like that, Yao. Just call me Alex. And I came here to learn Mystic arts. I also want to teach it to three of my children. Two of them are normal humans but I've enhanced them physically. But they don't have my kind of magic as they're adopted.

Then there is my biological son. He has a very high affinity to my kind of magic and has already started to master it. He's just 4 years old, but he's still a kid and acts like one. His hobby is to actually create things, things that can help people.

So I think coming here would satiate his learning needs for some years at least. He only has a good mind when it comes to magic and knowledge. He's average at physical fighting. I will be learning here too. So tell me. Will you allow me to come here with them?" He asked.

The Ancient One was surprised by the request. But she was also happy. Having connections with Alexander would certainly help protect the Earth from dimensional dangers as she wasn't sure about the future now. Alexander was changing too many things.
