30 Emperor's Metal II

(Neoth POV)

I see a powerful blast of energy coming my way. Using my precognition, I dodge out of the way and take hold of him using telekinesis. But his body glows yellow and repels the mental energy. Nabu's eyes glow golden and then several golden chains shoot out of the ground and bind me from all sides. I am constantly using my full-powered Haki and to increase my strength, I boost myself with my psychic powers. I can feel the chain's weakening, as I try to break them. I haven't used magic yet, because I want to increase my Haki and Psyker proficiency. 

I have noticed that I am getting more powerful and skilful in the use of my powers as the fight progresses. Multiple ankh-shaped energy constructs formed and shot towards me. I created a psychic shield around me. The energy constructs hit the shield and even broke it. 

*BOOOM*

*BOOOM*

Even while I was being hit I didn't stop forming a psychic shield. After the third ankh construct exploded upon impact, I managed to make the shield powerful enough to contain the onslaught. I wasn't idle. Taking inspiration from him, I formed psychic weapons in the air and shot them at him. I made sure that mine were invisible though. 

Just the first psychic sword was about to impale Nabu, his eyes widened and the same golden glow surrounded him. The weapons hit him but didn't do any damage, as if he was invulnerable in this state. But he was also not moving. I didn't stop attacking while absorbing the energy from the chains binding me. Then I rip the chains to shreds and run towards Nabu.

(Nabu POV)

What is this? What sort of creature is this man? It feels like I am fighting thousands of men at the same time. The mental and spiritual presence of this man is seemingly endless. And it seems to grow even more as we fight. Such potential I have never seen. I channel Order Magic through me and create the invulnerable membrane, to stop his psychic attacks. It feels like he is learning to control his power as he goes. What frightening talent and potential. 

I can feel my chains break and he runs towards me. He is physically immortal, this leaves only his soul to attack. I have to either banish him or bind his soul and imprison him. But the way he uses his spirit to fight is very impressive. I begin to chant another spell. He is trying to keep me occupied by attacking me with his psychic constructs, but that won't work. 

""((*ç%))"*ç("

Before his attack reaches me, my body multiplies into a hundred new bodies which all float around him. I don't waste any time. All copies of me begin to chant different spells and magic circles appear. I see that he isn't moving anymore and just ... looks at me. It feels like ... wait, what is that golden glow!!??! It's getting brighter ... what the-

*BOOOOM*

Everything turns black.

(Neoth POV)

I'm an idiot. To think that I was holding all of this back, oh boy. I better get the Nth metal now, or another idiot will try to fight or challenge me. I thought about what was going on with me. I was certain that even after unlocking the Essence of the Emperor Ascendant I should at least be Solar System level in power, if not higher. But what I was displaying was far weaker. To think that I was holding back almost 99% of what I could do. 

After Nabu split himself into a hundred illusions, all chanting spells, I released some of that power to end the fight rather than continue. The reason why I am doing this and why I am still staying in the Wizarding World is exactly this, I am not ready for the truly scary characters in the Omniverse. Teth-Adam impaled me like a piece of paper, I still can't stand to his strength, if he goes all out, but I was selling myself way short. I will only grow from here on out, and staying in the Wizarding World allows me to grow without having to worry about some 4th Dimension Imp, trying to ruin my day. 

I walk towards Nabu and take some of his energy. Order magic ... this has potential. I will see whether I can replicate this or change it, so I can also use it. I focus in front of me and open a portal in space, that leads me to the place where the Thanagarian spaceship is held. 

[Picture]

I open up the ship telekinetically. The ship falls into thousands of pieces with a thought of me and each piece floats around me until I find what I am looking for, a small piece of Nth metal.

[Picture]

It isn't very big, I assume they already created the Claw of Horus. I take the Nth metal and then open a door to my home dimension, where I dump the ship's remains and the metal. Then I spread my senses and find what I am looking for again. The Claw of Horus, they created out of Nth metal. 

[Picture]

I take that too and then enter the home dimension. All the materials are immediately sorted and placed in the right spot, where I will find them later to do my experiments. It is important for me to have everything sorted and thankfully the dimension does that on its own. I now focus on something else. I focus on the place and time, I want to go to. And then, another door appears in front of me.

Walking through, I see the man I am looking for. The world's third-richest man, he is the billionaire head of Dayton Industries, through which he invented and patented Promethium, a metal with the property of absorbing and generating energy, Steven Dayton.

I dive into his mind and find out everything I need from his memories. I can now recreate it as well. There are two types of Promethium, Depleted Promethium and Volatile Promethium. 

When alloyed with titanium and vanadium, it forms a near-invulnerable metal, Depleted Promethium. The bionic and cybernetic components of Cyborg (Victor Stone) are made out of depleted promethium.

Promethium is also capable of channelling, amplifying and perpetuating near-limitless amounts of energy, as such it can be used as a power source for many gadgets or create the most destructive arms imaginable. This is Volatile Promethium. It is called this way because this "volatile promethium" is a dangerous mutagen that can be used to mutate living beings or trigger their metagene.

But neither I nor the Adeptus Custodes will have to worry about that. After I have everything I need, I take the Promethium he has at hand here and then wipe his mind of me coming here. After that, I leave the DC Universe again. 

.

Now, that I have two of the metals I want to use for the Emperor Metal, I focus on the next three. These two aren't from the DC Universe but its brother, the Marvel Universe. I am looking for Proto-Adamantium, Vibranium and Adamantine. I originally didn't want to look for Proto-Adamantium, but there is something that I will do after this. I will pay a visit to another universe. 

The door opens again and I step through it, arriving in the Marvel Universe. I am inside another lab. This time the man in front of me is called Dr. Myron MacLain, the creator of the original Proto-Adamantium. It has never been recreated and is the absolutely most indestructible item in all of existence, in the Marvel Universe. 

It has only ever been damaged or destroyed five times: by Doctor Doom with the powers he stole from the Beyonder, by Thanos with the power of the Infinity Gauntlet, by Molecule Man and his total control over matter, by Thor wielding the Odin-Force, and by the Serpent after augmenting his strength with the fear of people from all over the world. 

This will do well when I combine it with the others. I go through Dr. MacLain's mind and find out what he did exactly. This is perfect and rather simple if you think about it. But that's fine with me. I again wipe the man's mind and then leave to travel to the country of Wakanda. 

.

I find the remains of the meteorite which fell to Earth 1 million years ago. We are currently in the year 1940. And these idiots have not helped anyone of their neighbours and fellow humans. I guess I'll give them a reason to get involved. 

I spread my senses and feel the entire mountain of Vibranium. I focus on a very big chunk, about 80% of it and then using my power, lift it into the air. 

*BRROOOOMM*

The mountain shakes and the ginormous piece of Vibranium rises into the air. I notice that this doesn't take me any effort at all. I am unbelievably powerful already. But there is something that I can feel ... a premonition. My precognition doesn't pick anything up, all I see ... is a sea of flames, coming for me. I will have to find out what this is. 

All sorts of alarms are heard around me. I made sure not to appear in the 616 main continuity. I will return to Marvel in the future and establish my Empire. It won't be long now. 

A giant door appears and I open it and walk in. The giant piece of Vibranium follows me in and then the door closes again. The Wakandan response is truly fast, but against me, everything is useless. 

Well, now I have all the Vibranium I need, the correct way to create Promethium and Proto-Adamantium and Nth metal. Only two things are missing now. Adamantine, which is used by the Greek Gods and another metal which is not from this universe, called Orichalcum.

.

I think about the time when I want to appear and then enter through the door again. I arrive in 1247 BCE in Ancient Greece. The person in front of me is a tall and burly man, who radiated strength. He wore a pair of sandals and green shorts. His hair was brown and he was holding a golden mace ... that was why I was here. 

[Picture]

Hercules Panhellenios, the Greek God of Strength. His father took pity on him and made him a full-fledged Olympian god. Now he was armed with a golden mace, that Hephaestus had gifted him. This golden mace was made out of pure Adamantine and it was the reason why I was here. It was time for another test and another growth moment. I could feel his strength, and sense his thoughts. He had impressive mental shields as a new god but that wasn't hard for me anymore. 

The moment I appear, his head snaps in my direction. His eyes widen a bit. I am also surprised at my transformation. My hair has turned black and my body has gotten much stronger. My mind is so much clearer and I feel a seemingly limitless well of power inside me. My potential is truly limitless and I only need to tease myself in order to grow even more. 

[Picture]

I can tell that those around me will see me as this golden radiating giant of a man. I have to reign in my aura, otherwise, I would not only attract the attention of those I don't want to attract right now, but I would also kill those weaker than me instantly. He speaks to me in a very old Greek accent. 

"Who are you?"

"I am Neoth. I am here for that golden mace you carry."

"Oh? The way you glow, I can tell that you like gold, right? But sorry pretty boy, you won't get this mace from me. How about I punch you down to size again, your ego is bloating you.", Hercules says and doesn't even wait for my answer. Using his monstrous strength, he appears in front of me and swings his mace at my face. 

However before it reaches my head, his entire body stops moving. As if he was ... frozen in time. I coat my fist in the ever-growing powerful Haki and psychic energy and punch him in the face. I watch in slow motion how his face is smashed inside out, exploding on the spot and his body shoots into the distance, while his mace is still in the same spot, where I held it in place with my power. 

*BBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM*

The shockwave creates a giant crater and destroys everything for a hundred miles. This is a good time for me to go, I can feel the powerful fire approaching me with speeds that surpass physics. I have what I need anyway. 

________________________________________________

I saw a comment that says he should be about the power of the gods in the comics. I don't know whether that is true right now, but I did it this way. I hope those who know more about Warhammer than I do, will accept this. He will grow even more powerful as he practices and gets used to his current power.
