86. Sudden attack

"System, tell me what really happened?" Mark asked as he stopped in an uninhabited Island thinking of what just happened.

He might feel a bit normal but he knew that there is something missing and he could feel it.

[Host has been liberated]

"Liberated? How?" Mark was standing there frowning hard as he thought of what is happening.

[Ding]

[Status]

[Chest Shop]

[Point Shop]

[General Shop]

[Inventory]

[Territory]

[Troops]

[Chest]

[Summons/Contracts]

"What the? Why is your interface different System? What happened to the 'Time' wallet?" Mark was about to panic but before he could a small letter appeared in front of him from his inventory.

"T-this…" Mark was not sure but he felt no danger at all as he looked at the small letter. Reaching out his hands he went and opened it but as soon as he did he was brought instantly towards his mind space.

"Hello there." Another him stood in front of his face making Mark tense but he relaxed understanding who it was. He was about to greet back but he paused and looked around as his mind space changed into an exact replica of his backyard.

"As you can see, 'I' have left. One day you'll understand but for now I'll give a brief explanation for you as this message will not last long." Mark nodded as he heard himself speak.

"You need not worry anymore of whom you really are, you are you and only you. Not a clone, not a copy but an original, we might have been the same in the past but who I am, millions of years different from you. That 'Judge' you met, don't worry about him or anyone else that might find you and hurt you.

Whatever their plans to you I have already foiled and broken when I left. The shop that you own, don't you notice how vastly unrelated it was to the real function of a System like yours? Total War, it is one of the earliest generation of systems ever made for conquering and making warlords of 'contracted' people.

Now you'll be alone but I have left gifts for you, you only need to work for it to really claim it with nothing else attached. But one I made especially for you…" Mark saw a small platinum chest appear and open itself in front of him releasing a small orb of light that entered his chest.

[Ding]

[Host has gained a Fully functional Anywhere Door]

(A/N: The one like Doreamon have, the ones he got from the chest were mostly prototypes and could not handle the difference in time and space. This one is enchanted and reinforced to be a multiversal door for traveling.]

[Host has reached Level 47 Spirit Ancestor]

[You have gained two more spirit abilities and 3 spirit rings]

[All Spirit Rings are Wood elemental Snake Spirit Rings]

[Host has gained his Divine Spark]

[Host has become a full-fledged God]

[Host must choose an Aspect to attach himself to]

"…that is one of the God sparks I have, it will serve you well. Don't look for me, I have gone somewhere even space and time cannot reach. Just know this, live your life as yourself, who you were and how you acted had been subtly influenced by something in the system.

I have not been able to take all of it but what is left you can notice. One thing we have in common is our past and that has come to haunt you like it has haunted me on the days of my suffering." Mark watched his other self slowly loose form but as he was about to open his mouth his other self spoke.

"Why am I imprisoned and what did I really do? I can't tell you that exactly but think of this like how a man was given the blame of something he did not do and was persecuted by the law because the ones that did it placed all blame on him. Now they are trying to stage a scene where the man tried to escape and was found to have been helped by accomplices. They will put blame to those said accomplice but that man did not escape, he placed himself in cuffs again and walked towards the prison willingly.

But the driver is still there left alone in the vehicle and got amnesia, wait wrong analogy but you get it right? Right? Never mind, the fact is you got that system and the ark all for yourself. It took the unnecessary parts of it and it will now be bound to you for life, that time thingy was just an excuse of the 'police' to plant evidence on the accomplices but I took it all with me.

Also your so called mission world was just the not a coincidence, I placed you there when the so called accident happened. I was briefly able to hack into the system a bit to anchor in that world. The 'time' given as rewards was just the way of the old system to make you want to wander and plant the 'weed' on the accomplice's house.

That's why I took action without your knowledge, so you won't have need for that thing to leave your place but you can now be seen by those powerful enough in that world. But that cloak the old guy will still hide you so the time thingy was really useless for you." Mark watched as the other self of him talked like he was still there in front of him.

"That's the beauty of being strong, you get smart enough to know what the other side thinks. Man I never thought I could last this long, hmm. Oh right! I also left at least most of my power in the ark so it'll still be fed enough energies to turn into a real world. You'll be seeing more islands and even continents on you back yard soon, because I left it all to be devoured by your system. Some are for you but you'll have to work for that too, anyways bye, got some people to annoy." Mark then saw his other-self vanish like smoke in the wind.

Mark was back again in the island alone but now more thoughtful as he processed what he had just learned. His Mind space is now fully his and not a barren desert like before and now the system is now totally his. He knew there was a price for such a thing to be in his possession but he never thought that he was being used as a carrier.

Mark took a deep breath and asked the system a question that has not been answered clearly last time.

"System, what is your goal?" Mark said.

[To help raise another leader for troubled times and a general that'll lead armies for the future.]

"And why is that? Who shall this general serve then?"

[System has been marked by the spirit signature of the host even when the host is the bearer of the system. Host owes no one his allegiance.]

"I see…" Mark said as he looked towards the sky, as he stood there he felt the great change affecting his very being. That divine spark is still working it's way towards his body making him more closer to the connection of his statues and worshippers.

"System, am I limited to one aspect or is there a criteria for that as well?" Mark sat down as he asked while he waited for the first wave of attackers from the north to arrive in his lands.

[Host can chose if he could focus on one aspect which will give you more power at the moment of acceptance or you let your followers decide, being a god centers of belief and how your believers believe you to be then you can be what they think of.]

"Is that so?" Mark mused as he felt that the first wave of Marauders are close to his walled keep.

"I think I'll choose the aspect of…"

[Bearsonling's Keep, Kislev]

"Everybody to your stations!! An army approaches four leagues from here so hurry and get to your positions!" Hans shouted as he looked over the ramparts on the walls.

"First Wall ready sire!"

"Second Wall are in place milord!"

"Archers are now ready Lord Hans."

"The Oil is ready milord!"

"The gates have been reinforce as well sire!"

"Good! We only need to hold on for three days until the first force from Kislev arrives and till then we are free to slaughter these heathens! Three days let's show these fools that this Keep is impenetrable and shall be here forever to keep them out of the Old world!!" Hans drew his sword and raised it in the air making the people in the keep cheer at his speech.

They were mostly the slaves that had been reform by Mark and now became an elite force that trains everyday hunting Skaven underground and was battle hardened already.

They were only about two thousand here for now but they were all peak of their respected races. From Dwarves, Wood Elves, Ogres and Trolls, they were all slaves that claimed to have become the 'Awakened'. They called themselves that as Mark was able to reform many from thieves, chaos worshippers and downtrodden people into men of battle and honor.

Now the best of the best in Mark's command now stood in the keep waiting for the first wave of the enemy. They were confident since they can see the golden hue that fills the air making them know that Mark was watching over them.

They stood stoic in the cold winds of the north as they saw a cloud of snow ride in the air at the horizon. They can feel the palpable pressure that seeks to weaken the mind of the men in this keep but Mark focused his powers here as his divinity improved by the second making everyone invigorated.

"Archers!! Knock!!" Hans shouted making five hundred archers ready to send death towards the enemy.

"Draw!" Hans could see it, the first wave was about 15,000 strong but he knew this was just the taste of what might come. A vanguard that would seek to exhaust the Keep and make it crumble before the main force arrives.

"Aim!!" but Hans knew, everybody here knew that their stores of medicine, food and weapons are enough for months to come even if they battled tirelessly. They have been blessed(given Diluted compound V) by their protector, their lord, their God and they stood strong as the enemy is about a league away.

"Loose!!" Then the archers let go of their bows and arrows flew to the air very far that if other forces saw this then they would have been shocked. Mot archers would have released when the enemy is about 500 paces away but they had shot from a league.

The reason was the bows made were specially designed by Mark and the dwarves to handle the stronger bodies of the elves. They could now shoot with high precision as well when Mark gifted them with far sight(Compound V Hawk eyes).

Five hundred Elves that could shoot for a league away accurately is one force that no one wants to mess with. Not unless the enemy has tens of thousands to spare, the enemy faltered when arrows made with quality hard wood and steel tipped arrow heads hit them when they are still very far.

Their march halted as they could not understand yet but when two more salvos fell to their ranks they understood that the battle already started. The marauders screamed as they charged ahead with manic screams and feral expression towards the newly built Keep.

Hans had the archers shoot every five seconds thinning down the numbers of the enemy. Mark watched this as he sat in the island smiling as he felt that maybe he could get hundreds more of people to change.

But as he was watching his men fight valiantly, some small shrubs on the side moved and two bodies came out from the plant as Lady Weeds and Brother Jonah appeared before Mark making him frown.

"Avatars of the Green leave, do not try to include me in your idiotic cabal of wooden brains." Mark said but deep inside he frowned, since he woke up and that his system somehow changed, something else also changed within his being.

"My what a feisty one you are, we have not yet shown you the greatness you could get if you become the Avatar of the Green." Lady Weeds smiled as she found Mark very attractive ever since she saw how he easily handled the Avatar of the Rot. They had their memories of when Mark pulled the system out of his body erased and they only remember him defeating Anton Arcane.

But somehow Lady Weeds has this deep feeling she should try to hold on to Mark as a fire ignited within her. A fire of Ambition, but Mark does not know that and he more likely does not care for the power that the Green provided.

"I have no need for the Green, besides I am not the one fated to your new Avatar. Soon the Avatar of the Rot will meet him and have him killed as well, you waste your time coming here." Mark said as he stood up and flew away not waiting for the two Avatars to speak up.

"Well that did not go out as we planned at all." Lady Weeds said.

"We didn't even plan anything when we approached him." Brother Jonah said as he thought about what Mark said.

"Let's go, if what he speaks is true then the other candidate is in danger." Jonah suddenly merged with a plant nearby and vanished with Lady Weeds following behind.

Mark on the other hand flew as fast as he could while Cloaked towards Gotham and arrived there thirty minute later. The battle on the Keep was already almost finished with only a few injured but he knew that was just a probe, whoever led this Army is someone he must face and felt he need to go back but before he could an Ankh appeared just when he is near the City of Gotham.

"Chaos Lord, would it be alright with you if we have a talk? It'll just take a moment." Kent Nelson appeared with Flash, Donna Troy and Wonder Woman with him, the rest are still in Palma calming down the crowd and taking care of the riots that started.

"I am not sure if it is a right moment Sorcerer Supreme, I fear something has changed deep within me. This might be because I have just taken my seat on my Divine Throne as I have accepted the duties of a god." Mark said as his mind filled with Pride and Strength, every second pass and every prayer spoken in his name he becomes stronger but also affected emotionally.

"I have noticed that too, though I am sure you can control it for the moment. I come here in hopes to invite you again If ever you want to help the world as heroes, my colleague here who you might have met is also a demi-god." Kent said as he looked at the frowning Mark but he knew that they were not the reason for the displeasure in Mark's face.

"I know, also the Daughter of Zeus is no mere Demi-God you know that. But for your question I am afraid I would have to decline, my lands and people are now facing war and as their patron God I must be there to help them." Mark said as he nodded towards Diana and the Flash as he flew again.

"Wait." Flash said as he looked at Mark, "Would it be possible for us to help you then?" Jay Garrick had been curious since with the speed force he was able to see a glimpse of Mark's powers but he did not know much as he could not understand what they were saying.

"That's right, your vial that you gave me was able to help me capture Minerva easily and prevent more destruction that she might have brought. If you need help then I would gladly provide assistance." Wonder Woman said as she looked at Mark seriously.

"I sold it to your princess, and I do not think that any of you would like to go into where my world is. Unless you could prevent yourself in being corrupted by beings of pure chaos and darkness, then I must decline as I would rather not have them learn of this world's existence." Mark flew away but still Kent followed which he ignored.

But as he flew he frowned, he realized his door towards his shop is gone and now he could not sense where his manor is. But as he was about to turn around he was suddenly hit by a massive force throwing him back down to the ground.

This sudden event stunned the four that followed Mark but the first to react was Jay Garrick who saw the blur that suddenly threw something. He ran towards the enemy knowing it was a speedster like him. Other than the speedster another man arrived dressed a magician's robes and held a wand in his hands, who came from a portal surging from above.

Another was a large hairy man with grey beard and muscular arms then another blur passed by as it showed another man in sleek armor with yellow and blue motif and lighting sparked within his body. Then the last one was a man flying in a red spandex suit and with a blue cape.

"My my, I hope I am not too late am I?" the man in the magician's attire smiled as he looked at the rubble where Mark could be seen patting down the dust on his armor.

"Who are you and why have you attacked us?!" Donna Troy went on alert as she looked at the group of people in front of them.

"You take care of the others, I'll handle the wizard. Let's prevent this would be god from ever coming in this world." The man in the wizard suit waved his wand and attacked Dr. Fate which made the others move as well. The man with lighting in his body went to Mark as well as the guy in the red supersuit.

Donna faced the large Hairy man but was surprised he was stronger and tougher than her, but her years of Amazonian training kicked in as she fought her Enemy.

Kent Nelson waved his hands as various constructs appeared and threw a volley of magical spears towards the man with the wan. Diana went to stop the speedster as she threw her lasso but the man in blue and gold dodges as he swerved towards Mark.

"Bind." Mark said and suddenly the grass around them grew to dozens of meters and appeared to look like slithering snakes. This threw the speedster a bit off as he ran away to dodge but the guy in the red suit did not as his eyes shone and sent heat vision towards Mark.

"A kryptonian?" Mark said as few Kruptonite appeared in his hands as he threw a punch towards the nearing assailant. But to his surprise he was pushed back as the guy did not seem to show any weakness to Kryptonite.

Before he could react a punch landed on his face throwing him farther than where he stood and on his path the speedster escape Diana's pursuit and appeared behind Mark. He was about to be hit by a vibrating hand but Mark twisted his body and looked at the speedster as his eyes shone gold.

"Oh shit!" the guy said as he ran away but Mark followed him with his eyes while the his own heat vision was about to hit the speedster. But the guy with the red suit interfered as he faced Mark's own with his own heat vision.

"I don't know why but you all seem hell bent on ending me, hmmm… let me guess. You guys came from the future?" Mark said as he suddenly has a spear on his hand and thrust to his left almost beheading the speedster.

"Whoa!! This guy is harder to face than I thought!" the guy said.

"That's right, we came from the future because you are going to destroy the world!!" the guy in the red suit said as he kneeled down and rushed towards Mark.

"Really?" Mark mused.

(A/N: My updating speed really is affected using only my phone to write. But enough of that, I'm just gonna rant about why there are no hot nurses in my physical therapy sessions!!?

The cute nurses always take care of the old pervy looking dudes who always acts like they cannot walk but I've seen them when the nurses are away. They could walk faster than me even before I was in the accident, not sure why they are in the Physical Rehabilitation Ward.

While me who is recovering and needed real help since my leg still really hurts if I walk. The one that assist me are the nice gay nurse in changing my clothes and the grumpy old nurse who's in Menopause. No homo.

Just kidding, I'm now able to stand on my own but needs assist in changing clothes from the nurse. But why can't they just look away man? The nurse always looks at my scared mini-me that sometimes I don't want to take a bath at all but it will make me sweat and my cast will stink so I will be forced to take a bath by the grumpy nurse. {Not really hat grumpy}.

Anyways, I tried my best and already writing a new one that I'll post on monday.)
