Finally in the top 100.
I knew I would reach that line one day, but I never expect it to happen so soon.
I sighed, turning around to greet Thor.
Who teleported to earth using a beam of light that hit the ground with earth-breaking power, "Brother!" he grinned, approaching me with beaming eyes.
"How's Asgard?" I asked. If memory served me right, Alice had opened multiple portals to an eldritch dimension, that had monsters very similar to the symbiotes, monsters that were a bit more feral in essence.
"Good, it was more bothersome than hard to deal with, really," Thor sighed, "It just took some time," he added, turning his gaze to Hela.
"As you can see, I did what I was told," Hela smiled, her eyes shining in a prideful manner.
"She did," I nodded.
"Good," Thor nodded, before chuckling, "God, and by that I mean, me, competing with you is a rather exhausting task, brother, just a day ago, I was stronger than you, but once again, you leave me in the dust, quite literally, granted, you ate a planet baby to do that, but still…" he pouted.
I snorted.
"I doubt there's anyone strong enough to pose a threat to you now," Hela commented.
Poor ignorant child, "There are, exactly ninety-six beings above me in power," I replied, which was more than enough to make her eyes go wide.
"That monster is amongst them, right?" Thor asked, and immediately I knew to whom he was referring, the Beyonder.
"Of course," I nodded, his power was leagues above mine, even now, but, I was getting closer, climbing that ladder one step at a time.
"I figured," Thor sighed as he looked aimlessly into the sky before deciding to shout, "Oh well, time to train!"
I chuckled.
"I will reach your level soon enough brother! So just wait!" Thor beamed laughing like a madman while opening a portal to Asgard.
"Well, as much as I liked battling the lunatic, and the bit of freedom I was given, I'm afraid it's my time to go as well," Hela sighed, walking towards Thor, "I am… reluctantly ready for my punishment, Thor."
"Bah, don't worry, I will go easy on you, I mean, it's not the first time a sibling has tried to kill me, by the age of ten Loki had tried to end me twenty-eight times, twenty-nine if you count the snake incident! It's pretty much a family tradition at this point," Thor laughed, grabbing Hela by the waist with a single hand and throwing her into the portal like a fucking spear.
"Thor, have you considered… I don't know… therapy?" I asked, concerned about his… mental stability.
"No, why would I?" Thor replied, tilting his head to the side in confusion, "But talking about therapy, do you think Doctor Walker, will take Hela too? Maybe making it a package deal, two for one?"
"You mean, Emily?" I asked, wondering if he was high.
"Yes," Thor nodded.
"Emily wasn't charging you anything," I chuckled.
"At first, but then Nat came, saying she was her manager, and that Emily's premium services as a therapist were worth Volstagg weight, in gold," Thor chuckled, "So, I paid."
"I… I don't know if I should feel proud, or concerned," I muttered.
"Both," The Ancient One replied.
"Very well, I am proudcerned," I chuckled, turning to face Thor once again, "I will talk with Nat, maybe she will make an exception, family discount, and stuff," I nodded.
"Wonderful! I mean, Asgard is rich, but we only have so much gold," Thor chuckled, jumping into the portal with a wink, one that let me know he was okay with Nat taking his gold, he was just being extra for the sake of it.
"So, now what?" The Ancient One asked as the portal Thor had created closed.
I mused at her question for a bit, remembering something in the process, the mission to conquer earth, a mission I had not completed because at the time I was too weak to do so, something that was no longer a variable stopping me from taking action, "Now I conquer earth," I replied.
"...."
"Yes, I'm aware that sounded rather ominous, and that without context would leave me in a bad light," I nodded, feeling her judgmental gaze on my back.
"Very well then," The Ancient One chuckled, "How can I help?"
"Weren't you judging me like a second ago," I snorted.
"I would never," The Ancient One gasped playfully.
"But as for help, well," I smiled, as I started to describe in detail what conquering the earth entailed, and the benefits it would bring, like for example having the power to block the entrance to the planet to dangerous individuals as long as they were below my level.
"I see," The Ancient One nodded, "I like the idea, it would save us a lot of time if we could only keep undesired individuals out of the planet."
"Yes," I nodded.
"So, I guess the next question is, what to do with them?" The Ancient One asked, pointing at the unconscious Eternals around.
"Let's ask them," I replied, using a pulse of cosmic energy to not only wake them up but bind them in place.
"You did it," Ajak muttered as she came back to her senses, looking at me in utter shock.
"I did," I nodded.
"He will kill you all, you saved nothing!" Ajak shot back, probably referring to the Celestial that had ordered her to ensure Tiamut's emergence.
"Who knows," I smiled while using my map to locate the strongest Celestials. [Jemiah The Analyzer LV 1401], [Nezarr the Calculator LV 1489], [Hargen the Measurer LV 1390], [Esos The Searcher LV 1460], [Arishem the Judge LV 1701].
"You have no idea who you're dealing with," Ajak replied, "You ate…. One of them, and he will judge you accordingly."
I chuckled, "Maybe, but enough about that, I didn't wake you up so that you could tell me how death I apparently am, I woke you up, to talk about your future."
"We will never work for you, beast," Ikaris spat in clear anger.
"I… didn't ask," I replied, before continuing, "But, basically, my offer was, that if you guys want, you can stay on earth, no need for you guys to fight the deviants and stuff, I will deal with that myself, or rather my group."
"She killed them all," Ajak replied.
"But you are not her," Thena sighed, "Yet, you feel like her, no… rather, she felt like you but corrupted, I guess I didn't notice until now."
"What we want is inconsequential," Ajak sighed, her eyes staring into mine, "Earth is doomed, he will see to it."
"You think?" I hummed, not really worried about that, not because I was stronger than him, but because we both shared a common enemy that was about to wake up any day soon, Knull, "Let me ask him," I smiled, opening a portal to meet the Celestial, who I had a feeling, would be more understanding than Ajak imagined.
