Strategizing

The power that Thor had transferred into her had made up for the loss of the dimensions of magic and even made her more stronger. This just showed her just how truly powerful Thor's raw power was. But, she also knew she was no match to the Living Tribunal or even the immortal entities like Death roaming around. But, she had a plan for that too and she was in the universe where she hoped that would be negated.

....

"Fuck you, I'm real," Rick cursed as he shot the plasma pistol in his hands towards another Rick. His neck was decorated with the guts of another Rick, or was it other Ricks. "I'm the smartest man in the universe!" The Rick he was shooting at hid behind a couch that had a corpse of a Rick in an octopus alien suit, half his head blown off.

"You're probably not even wrong. But that's just it," the second Rick said as he emerged from behind the couch, a plasma pistol in his hands. "I'm not a man." He threw away the pistol as he vaulted over the couch towards the first Rick. "I'm God!"

The first Rick charged towards him too but the second Rick had not gone through the same physical exertion the first Rick had, fighting multiple clones for a couple of hours, so he was faster. His heels slammed on the first Rick's chest, felling him and he came on top of him. He tried to disorient him with a slap but the first Rick slapped his hand away before hitting him in the nuts. Groaning in pain, his left knee shot forward and hit the first Rick right on his face, felling him. The second Rick took this chance to get him into a chokehold from behind.

"You're just made in my image!" the second Rick gloated.

"Fuck you," the first Rick cursed before biting over the tooth he had a proximity bomb inserted. The second Rick knew about the bomb and luckily had the countermeasure for it, biting open a tooth that had an energy negating body armor on. While the first Rick exploded, the second Rick was protected by the armor thus making the suicide effortless. The second Rick let go of the headless body and turned to look at a Summer who just walked in with a squid gun.

"Are you the, uh, Summer I came with?" Rick asked with uncertainty. But, his brilliant mind was already in work, comparing her with the Summer he saw and already knew the answer.

"Probably," Summer answered in a careless way.

"Good enough," Rick said quickly. "Morty?"

"Yeah," his grandson answered.

'Nope, Godspeed little guy,' Rick thought to himself.

"I'm here too," Beth, his daughter carrying an energy canon gun, made her presence known.

'You're not either,' Rick assessed. He opened the closet and in there was his son-in-law whimpering and snivelling like the little worm he was. 'Expected but still disappointing."

"Holy shit that was insane!" Rick excitedly exclaimed. "I love you guys, I've totally changed." The hiss of a plasma pistol made his heart skip a beat and his daughter had a hole in her chest. Three hisses later and the rest of the Smiths were dead too. Terrified, he looked at where the shots came from and saw an ugly yellow skinned creature with target marks on its body. It fired at him, hitting him at his sides. He groaned in pain before staggering and falling to the ground, bleeding and in pain.

"You should have hunted me!" Mr Always Wants To Be Hunted menacingly said as he came forward, plasma pistol in hand. Just then, a huge red clawed hand got hold of his face and with a squeeze, his head exploded. Rick's eyes widened as he saw a female version of Alex Mercer look down at him. With the way she was looking at him and the reputation of Alex Mercer in the game, he already knew what was coming but he was already dying!

"Fuck, this is not how I wanted to die!" the clone moaned before he was consumed together with the clone with half his head blown off.

....

Alex could feel her sentient self become even smarter. Rick Sanchez, even if a clone, would contend to being the smartest man of his universe and nobody would dare take that title. He was a force of nature, chaotic neutral at best and chaotic Evil at his worst day. His mind has made him one of the most feared criminal in his universe and it has made him contend with Gods and win, though barely!

With his DNA now part of her biomass, she could feel herself become smarter, smarter than any one she could think of. With this smartness, comes the side effect and that is seeing the bigger picture. She had come here to seek the means of killing the Living Tribunal but her mind had cleared and she realized one thing.

"I never stood a chance!" she cried out in shock. She had gone through everything at a speed of thought and this was the conclusion she came up with. Why?

Because of the existence of two beings, an unknown Celestial and One Above All. One Above All is clear, he is omnipresence and she was sure he would not stand still and let her kill and consume the Living Tribunal. In fact, she was sure he would kill her. Marvel Universe was created by him and to that logic, he would not allow a disease such as herself to fester and kill his children.

The unknown Celestial was the most dangerous one. Why? His power was just logic defying! It is the one that defeated Protege, a being that can copy powers just by seeing the person using it. He had copied The Beyonder's power and even the Living Tribunal's power and she would have copied One Above All's if the Celestial had not appeared. It judged him not fit to have the powers and just like that, he lost! If he judged her not fit to live then even if she had a thousand lives, she would die.

"I'm a silly sentient virus," she actually cried. "I'm a small silly sentient virus." She could feel just how pathetically weak she truly was, she could even express that in Maths. She was an insignificant little insect in the eyes of the most powerful beings and it scared her! Rick's intelligence was scary and she was now knowing that. She rushed to get it and now she was regretting having it. All the scenarios of her death would play in her mind ceaselessly and each was more gruesome than the last. After a few minutes of wallowing in self pity, she suddenly had an idea and this idea came because she remembered Chavez.

"If I can't win then I just have to strategize. Gather allies and weapons, rise my odds to a million percent before I storm back and get my revenge of that bald bitch. Then, the Living Tribunal will not be able to help her. Good thing I know the perfect universe, the studio next door. The DC Universe. I don't know much about it but I have followed the Young Justice storyline quite devoutly so let's start with that, Universe 16, Earth 16 timeline." A star shaped portal opened in front of her and she walked out, holding a portal gun made by Rick Sanchez.
