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

[Neo-Gamma Realm]

It has been nearly three years since Vhaalku's meeting with the other entities.

A lot of things have changed since then, his power, and the growth of his family was among some of the things that have grown.

Also, his mindset has matured a bit more now that his realm has solidified.

We come to a certain place filled with black mountains and rocks that stretched across the land or miles.

On one such mountain the human form of Vhaalku could be seen sitting on his throne watching something.

Vhaalku in all his knowledge couldn't help but be puzzled as he watched the almost comedic scene unfolding in front of him currently.

"Rahhh!"

*Poof*

"Crap!"

His son Skarr who was now a five-year-old toddler, could be seen trying to summon up a bluish white energy on his right hand.

But every time he managed to produce a single ember; it would just blow up in his face.

And every time it did,

"Dang it!"

*Boooooom*

Skarr would punch the rocky black ground on which he stood on.

There were more than fifteen craters around his spot, so you can see that Skarr has been at it for a while now.

This entire process amused Vhaalku greatly, his son was really training hard all so that in Skarr own words to help his father protect his family.

As Vhaalku was watching Skarr a flood of information came to his mind, along with even more access to other forms of power.

He closed his eyes and studied it very carefully, after a few seconds of reviewing it, Vhaalku rose his hand.

Vhaalku was grateful and happy for his devouring power merging within his biology. As now he was able to process more things and other forms of energy if he wants.

Vhaalku opened his eyes and using his energy manipulation he made a ball of Spiritual Qi formed in his hand.

*SHaaa*

The golden radiance shined with a very pure light, he smiled to himself.

'Once I give this to my Neo-Gamma it will grow even more perfect.' Vhaalku thought to himself.

And he did just that, he dispersed the Qi that was in his hands, and made every molecule of Qi in his body funnel towards his neo-gamma energy.

The Greenish White energy that was like an inferno in his body sensed a new prey for it to consume and like a hungry beast it pounced on the Qi that arrived.

Vhaalku's body on the outside began to steam a green vapor.

*Tisss*

This made him feel like he was getting a massage and laying in a hot sauna at the same time.

"Hmmm." Vhaalku hummed as the process ended and he opened his eyes.

"Now that it has assimilated, the evolving process can begin." He spoke out loud.

Now all he has to do his wait a couple minutes and it will all over.

As he waited, his mind turned towards the information he received from Wrath as well.

'Wrath will be your greatest help and the path to the real you.'

'What could he mean by this I wonder.' Vhaalku thought to himself.

"The power of Wrath or the very concept of it?" He spoke to himself.

This statement eluded Wrath like an annoying fly, so much so that green sparks of lighting began to crackle around his body as it tensed.

"Wrath."

"Greatest Help."

"Path to the real me."

"Me."

"Me."

"ME!"

A voice not that different form his own thundered into his ears, startling him.

And a familiar green face flashed into his mind, along with the face on a familiar man.

Vhaalku knew something was not right, but he couldn't figure it out for the life of him.

So, he calmed himself down and decided to put in the back of his mind for now. No need to drive himself crazy with paranoia is what he was thinking.

The green lighting faded, and his body relaxed itself.

"I must have Wrath travel to other places to further along the growth of the Neo Gamma power." He thought to himself.

He didn't know why but he felt that the neo-gamma power was something that would help him greatly in the future.

Vhaalku just wished he could link the Neo-Gamma power with Wrath so he could strengthen it along his travels simultaneously.

But he couldn't because it was too powerful for the vessel of Wrath, and it would destroy him completely.

So, he had to leave Wrath to acquire other forms of energy, power knowledge, to feed it.

Its base power grows day by day slowly within him, so that is a plus.

But it was slow for the moment, seemingly waiting for something.

"Hmph!"

*Boooom*

A blue flash of light caught Vhaalku's attention, and the explosion of a large boulder brought him out of his head.

Looking down, he saw Skarr grinning victoriously, as he admired his work.

Vhaalku kept on watching him keep practicing his power, and for a while he stayed still. But after another fifteen minutes of watching him, Vhaalku decided to go check on his other son.

'Arcann.' He thought to himself.

And in a black flash of light, he disappeared.

Skarr upon seeing a black flash of light paused his practice, and a little smile graced his face.

He knew his father was watching him, and that thought spurred him on.

With a little growl he summoned up another bluish white energy and this time it encapsulated his entire right arm.

His entire right arm looked to be on fire.

Skarr smiled and punched out like a bullet towards another black boulder nearby him.

*Bannnng*

Progress is being made and Skarr was getting better each day that goes by.

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

Vhaalku inside of a library at the castle he lived in with his family.

Upon arriving he looked over the room and soon spotted a little blackish red head form of his son floating while asleep near his favorite book.

Walking over to his son, Vhaalku looked at the book near him.

"The tall Man in the Black Ocean, huh?" He said quietly.

"Quite a mature read,' Vhaalku thought to himself.

Then he shook his head, and a little grin formed on his face as he thought of his very curious son and his very inquisitive nature.

"What else can I expect from the God of Knowledge, Imagination and Monsters." Vhaalku spoke softly as to not awake Arcann.

Then he softly picked up his son and carried him over to a little red bed that he had built for him a while ago.

Once he placed him in his bed, Vhaalku softly stroked his little cheek, wishing that these peaceful times could last forever.

But he knew that won't and if he wants it to be this way for eternity, then he has to become much stronger than he is now.

With just one last rub on his son's face, Vhaalku disappeared from the castle.

Vhaalku reappeared in the void of his realm, and he sat down on his throne overlooking his entire realm.

And with nothing else to do at the moment, he decided to meditate on his newly found power and knowledge he got from Wrath.

Closing his eyes, Vhaalku centered himself and began to reflect.

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

[Great Hongmeng Universe]

Coming back into the Great Hongmeng Universe, we find ourselves overlooking a thunderstorm filled realm.

The sky crackled and howled like hyena's and the sun was absent with its illuminance to shine down upon the realm.

The land was as dead and black as night, the only light in this place was the blue lighting crackling and striking down on the towering trees.

It was raining hard, and the land was flooding with waves upon waves of grey water.

But coming up to a certain area, where there was a separate land mass devoid of the grey water, and even rain.

This land mass was floating in the air, and contrary to the other black rocky ground. This land had green grass full of life and energy covering all of it.

It also seemed to be a in a separate space, because no rain of lighting could come within its proximity.

From a distance it looked like an invisible dome was covering the floating land.

The rain just hit a barrier and rolled of it, falling onto the ground beneath it.

The cause of this was none other than the Avatar himself Wrath.

We can Wrath who was currently standing in a pit of eldritch bubble darkness.

There was a black portal swirling in front of him and black goo was pouring out of it surrounding his entire body.

He could be seen absorbing in the mass current of black liquid like goo into his body.

"You guys were sure busy huh?" He mumbled out to himself.

Looking on at the future horde he couldn't help but feel excited. He really couldn't wait to the look on peoples face when he just decided to unleash a mass extinction attack upon them.

Once the last bit of the black goo was absorbed back into his body, Wrath looked over at Visera who was currently laying down near him.

He smiled a little as he saw her protective position as she laid nearby him.

Waving his hand, Wrath dispersed the portal.

He floated over to Visera who moved her huge wing out of the way for him.

Once he was near her, he sat on the ground next to her chest and laid back on her, allowing himself to feel her warmth.

She peeked at him, and looking over at the chaotic realm she sensed no threat, so she closed her eye again.

Wrath sat and thought of what to do next.

'I have to make a place for Zu Ten to have, I know that a lot of people are not going to like him because of me.'

'His path will have him persevering a wave of death and bloodshed, but in the end he will be fine.'

Putting his hand on his chin in thought, a bright idea came to Wrath.

'Maybe I can make an inheritance spot like those old fogies do.'

'Yeah, I'll do just that, and this place is perfect to.'

'It practically reeks with the lighting Dao, Death Dao, and the Water Dao. Lighting Dao more so than the others, but all the same it is a perfect place for me to set it up for him.'

'Must be how it got the name the Eternal Storm Realm as well.'

Looking over the entire realm, Wrath nodded in thinking of this.

Then his thoughts turned to Crixus.

'Aye, hope that guy isn't going overboard in his little journey.'

Wrath shook his head; he already knew some poor soul was baring Crixus's antics right about now.

Fake tears ran down his face as he thought, 'My heart goes out to you, random person, whoever you are.'

Wiping away the fake tears, Wrath relaxed on the chest of Visera and thought of where to go next.

Also, what place would be best for Vhaalku's power and growth.

Certain places came to mind, a few were, the movies, and other comic places that he hasn't been to.

Then there were the gaming verses he could travel too also.

One place was God of War, Wrath smirked at that thought and some unsightly ideas popped up.

"Your true nature is showing my chosen."

The calm voice of Visera poured cold water on Wrath's rising nonexistent temperature.

"Thank you Visera, I had some very unsavory ideas in my head," Wrath said bashfully.

/Snort/

Visera just snorted, blowing steam all over Wrath, then she went back to resting herself.

Wrath, still in little cloud of steam went back to thinking of places.

'Or maybe that thing that called a game I saw in that guy's memories, what was it called again?'

'I think I was called Destiny, yeah that's it, the name was Destiny.'

Wrath's mind spun with ideas as the memories came back to him.

"That verse has some very good abilities and Hax that I could use." He mumbled to himself.

After thinking about for a minute or two, Wrath decided not to limit himself and began pondering other options.

'Maybe some of those anime verses like Tensura, some pretty good Hax in that realm of space.' He thought to himself.

'Or that place called Bleach, that creation has something I'd love to check out, and also get my very own Zanpakutō as well.'

Then he thought of something horrid and that he absolutely had to do.

"I will help that poor guy Guts from Berserk, that place is a really fucked up creation man." Wrath spoke aloud to himself.

"Then the manwha's like solo leveling, or another one of those other manwha's.'

"Hmm, decisions, decisions." Wrath spoke as he tapped his chin.

Visera snorted again blowing a steam cloud on Wrath once more.

Wrath only smiled in response and closed his eyes, his thoughts settling down and his body relaxing.

But right before fully relaxing he sent all of his ideas over to Vhaalku.

All while Crixus was demonstrating why he was called the Crimson Beast of Devastation in the lower realm.

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

[Green Astral Plane]

Coming to where our crazy slime man is, we arrive above a green forest.

Its name was the Forest of Whispers, this was just one of the many place the Green Astral Plane holds.

It got its name from the random sounds of voices coming from inside of the forest, people would hear this and become infatuated with exploring.

Not knowing it would be the last thing that they ever do.

The trees of the forest are a dark brown with an orange tint to it.

The green leaves covering the thick branches make it look it was glowing. This would be quite the sight to see if it wasn't daytime at the moment.

Coming to the left southern part of the forest we could see a cloud of redness in the air.

The random birds would avoid that part of the forest like the plague and random beast that were confident enough would come a bit closer.

And once they did, the sight that would greet them made them run away. Which is a natural thing to do after seeing the blood-stained leaves and branches.

Then seeing organs sprayed all over the trees like a painting.

The source of all this however,

"Ugghh!"

"And that's the last one left," Crixus said with a smile as he pulled his entire right arm out of the man's chest, terrifying the little girl behind him in the process of him doing it.

Crixus turned around and looked at the little blue haired girl who was shivering on the ground.

He grinned and said, "well now you and your village don't have to worry about the random bandit attacks anymore."

Pointing to the hundreds of bodies that have been dismembered and thrown all over the current forest ground, Crixus said, "You should maybe deal with the bodies, and who knows maybe you will find something useful."

"And then you would be able to deal with these bugs yourself."

"With that being said, I should probably leave now." He mumbled to himself, still seeing no movement from the little girl, he shrugged.

Then he simply walked away into the darkness of the forest, leaving behind a shivering and terrified little girl.

After a few minutes, the little girl was snapped out of her shock by the sound of roaring beast coming in her direction.

Gripping her leather jacket, her mind replayed the words Crixus said to her over and over again.

Clenching her teeth, the little girl named Su Ying rand over to the bodies collecting any and everything she could carry.

Then she ran off to a place only know to her.

A fire of determination burned in her brown eyes, the hunger for power grew to extreme levels.

Crixus didn't know it, but he just indirectly helped make the future Dominator of War and Murder.

And also meeting his future sister in-law

But he didn't know any of that, Crixus was currently flying above the grand forest just enjoying the presence of life.

It was also a great elevation from living in the Abyss.

Sensing all of the life around him and the brightness of the sun, Crixus hardened his resolve to further help his master and prove that he appreciates him taking him under his wing.

Grinning to himself like a mad man, Crixus flew off in search for his next meal.

All while howling like a beast in the night.

"Awhoooooo!!"

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

[???]

In place of absolute darkness, where there is no light but the end itself.

We find ourselves surrounded by and suffocated by the feeling overwhelming fear.

Soon though we see a large dark waves of what looked like black water, but it looks to be alive?

Moving a bit closer to it, we are unable to move a single inch forward because we just stepped onto something.

Looking down se see what looks like to be brown fleshy tube or something.

*Thrummmmm*

And then an unimaginable wave of dread filled out souls as we knew that where're being watched.

Freezing our evermoving body, we just stand their paralyzed in fear, the only thing we can move was our head.

And that is exactly what we did, though each movement was like trying to rise up against quicksand.

But eventually we are able to do it.

And now we wish that we didn't look up, as we can see a humongous yellowish red eye that was looking directly at us.

It was looking in our direction, and since we forgot about the brown fleshy tube, when it wiggled out of our hand we were infused with even more fear.

*Shlickkkkk*

It wasn't a tube, not one bit.

But instead, it was a gigantic mass of brownish black tentacles leading to God knows where.

The sheer size of this thing or being was uncompressible.

The entity whose eye was opened spoke sending waves of fear and vibrations throughout the entire place.

Even making the darkness rumble in anticipation.

"Ahhhhh, an astral projection of a reader huh?"

"Quite bold, but funny all the same."

The eye enlarged as it looked at us.

"You can go now little reader," and like that, it was like a man grabbing us by our necks pulling us out of this horrid place.

The same eye looked in certain direction other than us.

And midway from leaving this place, that same voice echoed out again saying,

"Hmmm, no matter, it is almost the time."

"Will you drown or will you rise..... Vhaalku!"

"The Abyss awaits you."

"I....Aazathoth await you!"

And after he spoke, the eye closed and the darkness settled into silence until the appointed time.

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

[Neo-Gamma Realm]

Vhaalku shot up from his throne as he just felt a presence looking at him.

But it went away quickly, Vhaalku felt his body heat up with an emotion that he hasn't felt in quite a while.

Fear.

But it then replaced with non-other than rage.

He sat back down on his throne, his eye shining spewing out his anger.

"I need to speed up collecting power, and I need to do it now."

And all of a sudden, the idea of taking over the reincarnation process of a certain man came to him.

He didn't know how or why it did, but it did.

Maybe he should sit back and think why it came to him, but he was in no mood to do so at the moment.

And upon thinking of the memories from that soul from all those years ago, and now with the new information that Wrath sent him, this further made him want to do it.

'That place will work wonderfully,' Vhaalku thought to himself.

Mentally thanking Wrath for reminding him of those places, he sent a message to Wrath telling him to go on ahead and conquer a few of those Hell Planes.

He had a few plans for those places and the promise of learning new things about the wider scale of his new reality is always an enticing thing after all.

After he did that, Vhaalku sat back down and thought of a plan.

After a minute of thinking, Vhaalku smirked, and his eyes shined brightly.

"Yes, yes, that will work very well."

Wasting no time, Vhaalku pulled out a bit of soul.

"Mhrmm." 

Grunting in a little discomfort, as this was a piece of his soul after all.

You try pulling out a piece of your own soul and tell me how it feels.

Holding this little piece of himself, Vhaalku firmly held it as he called out to the one person that would be able to help him.

The one person that was awaiting this chance to finally speak to him.

Closing his eyes, Vhaalku said,

"I am finally ready to talk, One."

And no sooner did he say this did his mind traverse the all-encompassing multiverse of Marvel.

Once he felt that he reached a solid ground, Vhaalku opened his eyes and looked at the golden human in front of him smiling at him.

The golden humanoid spoke.

"I'm glad you're ready, we have much to talk about, Vhaalku."

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