393 Mars Colonization Project...

[POV Reo]

A whole year has passed since the war has ended. Not much has changed since then… At least nothing much has changed in Elysium. Humans might have been defeated in the war but Anti-Mutant sentiments were raging at an all-time high.

Humans have started to blame everything on Meta-Humans. According to them, Meta-Humans are responsible for every single misfortune in their lives. Sometimes, I simply ignore humans and their whining.

A husband got caught cheating on his wife with his secretary. He blamed Meta-Humans for that. A lot of people even believed him… I mean what the fuck!! Then a child caught cold, once again Meta-Humans were blamed.

Currently, I was heading towards Eric's office. I could have used my Space Powers but I decided to take the scenic route and spend my time looking around. It feels kind of nice when I see how Elysium has developed in the last few years.

I arrived in front of his office and knocked on his door. I could sense a lot of people inside Eric's office. Most of the time, only Emma and Raven were beside Eric when he invited me. Maybe he has recruited some new elders… though I hope not.

The door opened with a swish, everyone's eyes were focused on me. Without saying anything I approached the empty chair and plopped down. Looks like the meeting hasn't started yet. Even though I am Omnipresent, I ignore most of the menial things.

"So… What did you want to talk about?" I asked as I leaned back in the chair.

Everyone looked at each other nervously. "Reo why don't you sit back and have a drink… I might have called you but I don't know how to bring up the topic" Eric said in an apologetic tone and I simply shrugged.

"I will have a beer if you don't mind and I don't have much to do so I can laze here…" I said in a dismissive tone. With a small twitch of Eric's finger, a beer bottle came floating towards me.

I accepted the bottle and Hakai'd the bottle cap. After that, the meeting started and I tuned out most of the menial things. Finally, the topic of Humans blaming everything on Meta-Humans came up.

"Reo, you know a lot about Space, right?" Raven asked and I simply nodded my head. I already knew where this was going.

"...Um… where is the nearest planet we could colonize?" Eric asked. He was somewhat embarrassed about asking for help.

"...Well… there is Mars and there is Titan. Both aren't fit for colonizing but that problem can be solved easily if I decide to terraform them" I said and shrugged. Everyone was completely gobsmacked after hearing my words.

"Reo… we can't ask you to do something like that. You have already helped us so much, we simply can't ask anything more from you" Eric said and I simply smirked.

"Oh… don't worry. Doing something like that is practically effortless for me" I said with a shrug and snapped my fingers. A reddish glow erupted from my body making everyone around me flinch.

"There done… I am done with Mars, though it would probably take a week to form the atmosphere" I said with a shrug like it was no big deal. To be honest, it wasn't a big deal for me.

"Just like that, with a snap? I couldn't even silence my wife with a snap" a guy grumbled with a gobsmacked look on his face. At least he isn't stupid enough to say something like that in front of his wife.

"No need to thank me… It wasn't much of a bother for me… if that's all then I will be leaving" I said and got up from the chair.

"Reo, we still want to thank you. This means a lot for us" Eric said, gesturing towards themselves. "We simply want to live away from all this hate and ridicule… getting blamed for every misfortune isn't something all of us can withstand" Eric said softly and I gave him a small nod.

"Don't worry about it…" I said and left his office and that is what started the Mars Colonization Project.

It didn't even take a few hours for the news to spread. I didn't bother how the citizens of Elysium reacted to the news as I was busy training Ororo… After the Vacation, Momo and Fleur were once again busy with their research.

Luna was busy with Quibbler and Nemuri was busy with her business and gentle-womanly collection. Nat was busy spying on people, at least she didn't turn into a certain red-haired bespectacled free-loader sick pervert. Two perverts were enough for me… I didn't want a third one.

Dora was busy doing stupid things and collecting more depraved doujins. Only last week she asked to have sex on her motorbike. I had to remind her that she didn't own a motorbike of her own. That was a mistake… since then she had been whining about a motorbike.

Buying her a motorbike isn't a big deal but should I condemn the Meta-Humans by giving her a motorbike? ...Hmm… it just took me 5 minutes to come to a decision… I am the Leviathan of Destruction, I should relish in Destruction. So, I decided to buy a Super motorbike for Dora… the rest of the world could burn for all I care.

Jean was busy trying to become a doctor. She was already a good doctor but according to her, she still had a lot to improve and she wanted to become a specialist related to all health-related issues. She was immortal so it was quite possible.

She also learned about healing from Unohana whenever she was free.

Rumi was being Rumi, so she was busy training and picking fights with Hela or Unohana whenever she could. It was quite a surprise for the girls when Unohana revealed her nature in front of them for the first time. Unohana was quite surprised that the girls still treated her normally.

If you are wondering about my relationship with Unohana. Then no, sorry to disappoint I haven't made any type of progress in that department. She was gentle and kind to everyone so it was quite hard to understand her signals… in case she was giving me signals.

Hela was busy being the ruler of the Dark Dimension. It wasn't as easy as she had imagined. There were various beings who would try to escape Dark Dimension, poor Hela had to prevent something like that from happening.

Then she would torture the poor fools who had tried to escape. That was an obvious plus point according to Hela and Unohana. Having unlimited access to torture subjects is a piece of great news for the two of them.

Flavia was busy arranging tea parties and munching potato chips. She would spend most of her time in our house lazing around. According to her, faking her death and leaving Kamar-Taj was the best decision she had ever made.

She said that she missed being the Ancient One but everyone looking up to her like their Salvation and shouldering the responsibility of saving the earth from dimensional threats could be really tiring. I kind of understand what she meant. That is why I avoided any responsibilities like a pro.

Eric started a whole new Division for the research and development for the Colonization Project. Naturally, Momo, Fleur, and Flavia decided to join. The research was kind of Momo's and Fleur's thing so it wasn't surprising that the two of them decided to join.

Flavia joined because she had prior experience of making spaceships capable of intergalactic travel and because she didn't have anything better to do. It took them only two years to finish the first phase of the Mars Colonization Project.

150 Meta-Humans were going to be sent to Mars to establish the foundation for their new civilization. Every single one of them were hand-picked by the experts for their Meta-Human abilities. Each one of their abilities will be necessary for colonization.

Momo, Fleur, and Flavia were among this group. Momo and Fleur would never miss a chance like this… they were going to colonize a planet from scratch. It was a historic moment for the three of them who readily accepted the offer.

Momo and Fleur won't have any problems surviving in Space if something goes wrong. That left Flavia, she was going to be protected by Momo and Fleur and if they fail, I can always save her with just a thought.

The other notable members of the first phase were Eric Lensherr (As he didn't want to miss such an opportunity and he was the one to propose the idea so he wanted to be in the group who would lay the foundation of their new civilization).

The others were Susan Storm, Jean Grey (She was invited later when they realized that they needed to have a medic), Jonathan Lowel Spenser, Benjamin Jacob Grimm… they wanted to invite Bruce Banner too, but they didn't know how the Hulk was going to behave in Space so they had to put him off the list.

It took them another three years to establish everything on Mars… I have been traveling in between Mars and Elysium so that I can keep Momo, Fleur, and Jean some company when they weren't working. Dora has gone nuts after getting the motorbike and she did get to enjoy sex on a motorbike.

During this time Galactus showed up, he wanted to consume Earth but I sent him away telling him to look for some other planet to consume. He wasn't happy but there wasn't much he could do as I could be very persuasive if I want… and he is technically my underling.

It took them another two years to completely move onto Mars. Though Eric decided to leave a small sentry back on Elysium. It was there so that they could bring in new Meta-Humans. During these years the humans have started to blame the Meta-Humans for everything but there wasn't anything they could do as the human Governments were still licking their wounds from the last war.

They didn't even know that the Meta-Humans have already left Earth except for a few. My house was still on Elysium as I have decided to make a new house on Mars. Elysium was still the most protected place on Earth. When the Mars Colonization Project started Momo had upgraded the security system of the island.

Now, if you want to pass the barrier then you must be recognized the barrier itself. Something like that wasn't hard to do. Momo connected the barrier to the AI. Her AI already had access to Momo's satellite net so, the AI used the satellites to recognize the identities of the people approaching the barrier. This AI was also responsible for recognizing the new Meta-Humans, so everything was almost seamless now.

It looked like everything worked on its own but the AI was continuously working in the background. The AI aside, everything else was perfectly fine as the Meta-Humans have Colonized Mars…
