53 Time flies when your having a good time

A/N: I'm disappointed in myself I was so tired I missed a very key detail in the last chapter the destroyer should have been guarding the tablet of life and time, and once it was taken by the mc it should have been trying to find him even though mc was invisible, so to remedy that atrocious mistake I'm going to have the destroyer guarding something else that I will make up for story purposes, might not be a big deal to yall but I'm mad at myself over it. Anyway, enjoy this chapter.

--------------------------

After leaving Asgard I landed in one of my safe houses then I went to my manor after checking to see if I have any tracking spells or runes on me, after arriving at my manor I checked my inventory I got a lot of very cool stuff to add to my collection.

I grabbed the Infinity Gauntlet that Hela claimed to be fake but, she could be wrong and it is still a nice artifact the value shown to me is 9, I also got the Casket of Ancient Winters that I will have to begrudgingly give it to Loki I will make it out to be a gift it has a value of 8, I also have the Warlocks Eye which I have no clue what it does but the value shown is 8 as well, I also have the enteral flame and Surtur's crown, to finish off what I grabbed I have the Tablet of Life and Time that shows a value of 10 my first ever 10 value.

I know about this specific Tablet because before I died I remember reading about this, it is said to present a biochemical formula for a serum, the so-called Lifeline Formula, which could rejuvenate, heal, and grant its user the chance to reach the full evolutionary potential of its race turning the user into a nearly omnipotent immortal. I always wondered why Odin never used the formula.

Looking it over I can read what Odin has transcribed, the ingredients for the formula aren't hard to get because the only ingredient is yourself, but that's where shit hits the fan because I can only read what Odin has transcribed in Asgardian runic language it roughly translates to 'the soul mind and body must complete the trifecta, beware of death for she-' and then that's all.

I have no clue what the rest says because it's all in a different language, I'm guessing something about cheating death is not cool and she might bitch and moan about it.

I also still have some of Lokis's blood which I am definitely going to use for a ritual.

I then started to put everything in nice display cases in the theifs grand hall.

-Odin Pov-

Words cannot describe my anger, someone has stolen the most precious and dangerous items in my vault.

The most crushing blow is the tablet of life and time, I have been translating the Atlantian language for years upon years and now it is gone.

The bastard used the mystic arts and mentioned the ancient one, let's see what she has to say for herself.

-Narrator pov -

In Kamar-Taj the ancient one was enjoying a nice cup of tea while reading a tome about space magic, she has been trying to figure out how Harry managed to isolate a whole Hall from the world itself she couldn't even use sorcery inside and it troubled her.

Right as she was about to take another sip of tea she felt someone breach the shields of the sanctum.

Quickly creating a portal to the breach she found an odd sight. Odin was surrounded by sorcerers and he was wearing battle armor.

"Yao! You dare to attack Asgard!" he shouted in fury

"Odin, I have never committed such an act," she replied cooly

"Then why did a sorcerer break into my vault and announce that the ancient one sends her regards," he replied in a dangerous tone

'That doesn't make any sense,' Yao thought to herself

"Odin, why would I send my regards? It seems like a rather foolish thing to do especially when I apparently sent someone to steal from you doesn't it?" she replied in a calm tone her posture was relaxed but Odin could tell she was ready to spring into action at any given moment

"You must know who it was then? He did use the mystic arts after all," Odin countered

"What did he look like?" she asked and signaled the sorcerers to back off

"He wore robes like you people, and a mask," Odin answered

"Hmm, join me for tea I will try to find this masked individual but you aren't giving me much to work on," she said turning around to walk back to her tea Odin followed

[time skip three years, Harry Pov]

It has been three years since the heist on Asgard, I gave the Casket of Ancient Winters to Loki after the heat died down, he was all giddy once he got it like a kid in a candy store.

Around one year ago I completed a ritual using Loki's blood as a base and I supplemented horned serpent blood and venom which was a pain in the ass to get, I also added scales and blood of a hydra that Loki gave me not that he knew I was using his blood. Since I started with Basilisk blood and venom I decided to go the full snake man route.

I got quite the boost in physical attributes but, the most important boon it gave me was the vitality, and majesty almost godlike presence I have over creatures of the serpentine nature. My status now shows me as one thing because of all of the rituals I have used with other creatures' blood the all combined to make something akin to a new race.

[Status:

Name: Hadrian James Potter

Race: Serpentine Progenitor (a/n: I am stumped trying to find a cool name for his species, so it will be this until I find one.)

Hp: 100%

Mp:145,210/145,210

Strength: Transcended being (100+ Tons)

Speed: Transcended being (760 mph. Thor runs around the same)

Dexterity: transcended being

Stamina: transcended being

Animagus: basilisk

Wand: thestral hair core, yew wood, silver

linings, basilisk venom binding agent, 12 1/2

inches, flexible]

The reason for the transcended being status is because I used soul magic to cleanse and enhance my soul, therefore, making it stronger. The reason I enhanced my soul was that when I evolved into this serpentine life form I felt uncomfortable in my own body and I couldn't figure out why, it turns out the soul also needs to be enhanced and nurtured or you will lose connection to your body.

Doing so made me feel like chains that were always there holding me back snapped and I truly became alive. It was euphoric. I felt like I transcended.

The year is now 1997 and I am 17 but I look like I'm in my early twenties, I have black as night hair, my skin is pale jade beauty style, my eyes are now permanently snake-like, and I'm six foot five.

Sadly I can't change my skin tone, I could with illusions but there is no point, it's not that it's ugly it's just I'm not a big fan of looking like I'm a ghost.

These three years have been a blast though, my crime syndicate has gotten even larger with me owning more than half of Knockturn alley not all of the shops I own are obvious about being a part of the organization, I'm sure that hardly anyone even knows that someone owns half of the shops in the alley.

I also own some shops in Diagon alley, my hotels are doing phenomenal with them being a huge money maker for me, funding a syndicate is no joke.

The criminal aspect of the hotels is actually doing fantastic as well, at first, I was worried because who would trust a criminal to keep them safe, but once some people had no choice but to take the gamble and my hotel helped them escape arrest then the ball got rolling.

Of course, some people didn't follow the no fighting rule, and my people had to educate them until they learned.

But after a couple of bumps and roadblocks, everything worked out, in the mundane world the merchants of death are one of the biggest syndicates in the world and people are creating theories on how we came out of nowhere and dominated the criminal underground.

And the magical world fears but respects us because we mainly focus on exports and imports, mainly our own goods, and not assassination and thuggish behavior.

Of course, I have had to send out the assassins and enforcers to set examples out for those who thought we were all bravado.

I have done some heists here and there to keep up appearances of course, plus it's fun. Though Nowadays it's like a walk in the park stealing from wizards.

The only places that could challenge me that I have access to are Asgard and Kamar-Taj. The latter I am planning to permanently borrow some things from soon.

I'm also planning to host another gathering at my theifs grand hall, I'm thinking about inviting Odin just to flex on him that I was the one that stole from him.

Maybe even Thanos, it would be funny seeing his reaction to the infinity gauntlet.

-Fury pov -

I am now the director of shield, it's great being the director but I have to keep my now one eye open for snakes and cats.

I have been gathering allies that I know for a fact aren't part of hydra. I know they aren't because I have used every method I could think of to check them, truth serum was probably the weakest method I have used and that's saying something.

Currently, I am reading a report on some investigations and such.

*knock*

*knock*

"Enter," I said looking up from the report

An agent opened the door and said while nervously shifting, "sir we weren't able to capture target Alpha, they made it to the Continental,"

"Motherfucker!" I cursed in anger

"I thought I made it clear to capture them before they had the chance!" I said furiously

"Sorry sir but they had back up," He replied with his head down in shame

"Write up the full report I want it on my desk immediately," I said waving him off

Once he left, I yelled in rage, "Motherfucking Continental!"

That damn hotel chain is the biggest thorn in all government agencies' backsides. Shield alone has tried several times to infiltrate and capture criminals from their buildings but it's impossible, they can walk in and out of course but the second we try to move in on a target our agents get either thrown out or disappear.

I have even seen an agent go in to keep tabs on the criminals that enter and the next thing I know the agent is working for them!

We have tried several times to have the hotels shut down but each time we get blocked. I don't know how it happens.

It's safe to say Blood merchant and the merchants of death are all agencies number one targets.

-End-

A/N: this was actually one of the hardest chapters I have written, I haven't done such a large time skip before and I really hope it was good.
