Omniscience in Marvel 2

Title: First Contact.

From the boundless chaos of the void outside the multiverse, the House of Ideas appeared as a beacon of Order and Creativity amidst the swirling maelstrom of raw potential.

Its appearance is both awe-inspiring and enigmatic, defying conventional description yet resonating with a sense of familiarity and significance. Observing the structure that defied logic, Shun couldn't help but nod in appreciation.

It was a realm in itself. A Home worthy of A Creator Such as the One Above All.

Compared to his Heavenly Palace, it still had ways to go, but Beauty was something unique to every existence. In the aspectual sense, beauty transcends mere physical appearance and encompasses a deeper, more profound understanding of harmony, balance, and aesthetic appreciation.

It is the recognition of symmetry and elegance in all things, whether tangible or abstract, and the ability to discern the inherent grace and splendor within them.

And while Shun was in a realm of his own, a bright light flashed as a Shadow appeared in front of the Core of Creation. Its appearance, made up of pure light, but Shun could make out an appearance nonetheless.

"Who are you?" The Shadow asked and Shun shook his head and said.

"Isn't it common courtesy to introduce oneself before you ask for another's identity?"

The being titled its head in what looked like confusion but moments later it nodded and said. "I do not have a name, but I stand at the pinnacle of my Creation therefore I am The One Above All."

"Hmm. If I didn't know better, I'd say you're a NEET attracted to fanfare and the lot." Shun said with a small chuckle. "That sounds more like a title but I doubt you have a better one. How about I call you TOAA?"

"TOAA? Interesting. And you?"

"Ah, I go by many names, but the name I gave myself is Shun."

"..."

"What's with the expression?" Shun pouted his lips as he could see TOAA's unimpressed expression at the mention of his name. "I will have you know that I have much better titles than you'll ever have."

"...If you say so." TOAA said, but Shun could hear the disdain in his voice, but being the bigger person, he decided to ignore it. "So what brings you to my home?"

"Ah. Nothing too dramatic as you'd like to think. I was just passing by and felt two Worlds undergoing a tribulation of sorts and decided to come take a look."

"Tribulation?"

"You're unfamiliar with the term?"

"I can't say I'm familiar with it." TOAA said, shaking his head.

"Hmm." Shun seemed to think for a moment before snapping his finger. "I got it! You're a Creator formed from the Chaos right?"

"Aren't we all?"

"Nah. I'm unique." Shun said with pride.

"How so?"

"Long story. I don't think I can discuss that while standing out here in the Void." Shun said, looking behind TOAA.

TOAA squinted his eyes at Shun to which Shun matched. "You're not alone."

"Yeah..my companions. They can't withstand the Corrosion of the Void. I had to keep them within me." Shun said with a nod.

"I see…Are you trustworthy?"

"Don't worry too much my friend. As you are, you don't have anything that interests me." Shun said with a smirk as he unleashed his aura which caused TOAA to frown slightly, however, in the next moment, Shun reigned in his aura.

"I'm only intrigued at the inner workings of your world. I bear no ill intentions." Shun said. The current TOAA was merely at the First Level World Creator. He on the other hand was already way past that.

As for why he was still in that Level, it was simply because he was currently undergoing his first tribulation. Not that he knows.

"Alright then. Come in. I'm interested in what you have to say."

"So you're telling me there are billions of bidding Universes and Multiverses out there?!" TOAA asked in shock at hearing what Shun said.

They were currently Within The House of Ideas. From the outside, it was just a large Realm-like Ball of Energy, but from within, it manifested as a grand structure, its architecture transcending the limitations of mortal design.

Its walls are adorned with intricate patterns of ever-shifting symbols and glyphs, representing the countless stories and concepts that dwell within its hallowed halls.

Towers of crystalline spires reach towards the heavens, reflecting the kaleidoscopic hues of the surrounding void in a mesmerizing display of light and color.

At the heart of the House of Ideas lies the Great Library, a repository of knowledge and inspiration beyond compare. Within its vast chambers, shelves upon shelves of ancient tomes and boundless scrolls contain the collective wisdom of countless worlds and civilizations.

Arcane energies crackle in the air, infusing the very essence of the library with a sense of divine purpose and creative potential. Surrounding the Great Library are countless chambers and galleries, each dedicated to a particular aspect of creation and imagination.

From the halls of heroes to the chambers of myth and legend, every corner of the House of Ideas resonates with the echoes of stories yet to be told and worlds yet to be explored.

The Thoughts of Living Beings yet to be created gathered here, and from here they're introduced into reality. Despite its imposing presence, the House of Ideas exudes an aura of welcoming warmth and invitation.

And sitting in one of the structures inside this realm were Five Unique Existences. Shun, Kaguya, Ria, Hinami and TOAA.

"Yup. And at your level, you'll do for a snack to a few that I know about?" Shun nodded

"What? Seriously?"

Shun nodded. "There's this unique one in particular. A Great Universe that holds enough potential to wipe out Multiverses. Imagine when three thousand beings - Fiendcelestials - as they call themselves are born from the Chaos itself."

"Fiendcelestials?" TOAA asked in confusion.

Shun nodded. "Beings similar to you but much more powerful and more Chaotic. Where you are born complete, they're born incomplete, but with more Chaotic Energy."

"I don't think I'm following." TOAA said and Shun shrugged. "I don't even think I understand them either."

"Then-"

"It's just that one of them - Pangu - was strong enough to actually split Chaos itself and used its body, blood, muscles and other things to create a world."

"What? How is that possible? Wouldn't that mean that their sheer size is…"

"Exactly. They're just beyond understanding. But that's not even the most interesting thing." Shun said.

"Oh?"

"Yeah, the interesting thing is that his three Omnis are used so…crudely that his World's Tribulations goes on and on until he's reborn and then goes through the same thing again."

"The same thing? As in splitting the Chaos?"

"Yup."

"Then his three Omnis?"

"Oh. The Will of Heaven holds onto the Omniscience and Omnipresence while he splits the Omnipotence into pieces and then consecrates Saints with it." Shun explained as much as he understood from the mythology.

"That's…"

"I know, right? Even I don't even know what to make of it." Shun said and relaxed on the chair he was sitting on.

The two sat in silence while letting what they had just discussed sink in. Meanwhile, the ladies were busily browsing through TOAA's Library without any regards to him.

Shun might be on the same level as him, but TOAA's kept his records more expertly than Shun. Eien wasn't even helping matters as she didn't care in the least.

"That's enlightening. Then the tribulation you were talking about…"

"It's nothing serious. It's just a series of Tests given to the World by a Greater Will outside Chaos. I felt your and a neighboring world undergoing its first evolution and came to check it out."

"A neighboring World?" TOAA asked in confusion.

"Yeah. The DC Multiverse. Similar to the War between the Aspirants and the Celestials Created by the Firmament. I feel like a Certain Being is fighting against its fellow siblings…Hmm, the rebellion has begun it seems."

"What are you talking about?"

"Ah. As I came over, I sent a Parallel Existence over to the Other Multiverse." Shun said with a smile.

"Parallel Existence?"

"Yup. A must have skill if you want to survive in the Chaos. You never know when you die out there, so having a body double is never frowned upon." Shun said in a tone of a senpai educating his kouhai.

"C-can..I..-"

"You want the skill? Sure. For a price though." Shun said.

"Really? If it's within my power, I will trade it." TOAA said. "But can I see a demonstration?"

"Sure." Shun said as another him appeared beside him. "Attack any of us."

"What?"

"Yeah. Use your strongest technique if you want." Shun said nonchalantly. "I actually created this body in case I die while coming here. Our minds are all connected so there's no harm."

"If you say so." TOAA wasn't really bothered since Shun had given the go ahead. Gathering a substantial amount of raw Cosmic Energy on his index finger, he shot it at one of the Shun, directly disintegrating him, however, to his surprise, the other Shun remained unaffected.

"Interesting ability." TOAA said with an excited expression. Shun knew from the bubbling of the energy that formed his figure.

"Of course it is. I learnt it from a fellow creator and friend."

"Oh? You've met and befriended others like us?"

"Of course. Velda-Nava is even more of a brother than friend. We share the same name."

"Then-"

"He's undergoing a tribulation of sorts. When he recovers his memories, he'll come find me." Shun said as he remembered that Rimuru had just been born when he went to check up on Velda-Nava.

"Interesting. Then what do you want?" TOAA asked as his expression turned serious. Although he understood that the technique wasn't that previous, it was still unique since it was gotten from a fellow Creator.

"It's quite simple…Allow me to Reincarnate in your World."

A similar conversation was actually being had in a Multiverse not too far from the Marvel Multiverse. Shun sat in front of The Presence as they negotiated the terms of his descent into his Multiverse.

However, that was a story for another time.
