Chapter 10: One Above All

First Cosmos

_______________________________________________________________________

During the war in the First Cosmos, the Celestials were on the verge of defeat against the Aspirants. However, the Aspirants made a critical mistake—they dismantled parts of the God Killer Armor to power their fleet. This decision triggered unexpected conflict among the Aspirants, sparking a civil war that gave the Celestials a much-needed opportunity.

The Celestials had seized this momentary lapse to strike, pouring everything they had into a single, desperate attack. They unleashed it against the First Firmament, catching it off guard as it clashed with Cal-Horra. The combined assault shattered the First Firmament into countless fragments.

Immediately after, I descended into the First Cosmos, collecting fragments of the First Firmament. While there, I also located Earth, confirming its stability. I observed that the One-Below-All—the dark aspect of the One-Above-All—is not there anymore.

With Earth secure, I descended upon it, fusing it with the essence of Envy and leaving it dormant for future plans. I then noted the First Firmament and the remaining Aspirants retreating towards the Far Shore. Taking advantage of the distraction, I located the God Killer Armor, now adrift in space, and stored it in my inventory. Once my objectives were complete, I returned to the Origin Dimension.

…

Elysium Citadel, Elysium, Origin

Back in Elysium, zenith and elys were immediately attracted to the shattered piece of the First Firmament.

"Ryan... is that...?" Elysia's voice trailed off, the question hanging in the air.

"Yes," I replied, my tone calm but filled with unspoken power. "With these, we can strengthen the genesis core and it will help the dimension to remain till eternity and this fragments contain the purest cosmic energy which is the reason that I decided to wait to fuse this energy in the core instead of the celestials."

With that said together we immediately fused the fragment of First Firmament in the genesis core, which started to produce celestial energy and now the Syntari will be able to use it and derive new abilities from it.

After the fragment is absorbed by the genesis core, I reviewed the notifications that I received.

[You have survived the First Cosmos.]

[You have gained the achievement survivor (1/8).]

[You are rewarded with Transcendence]

Zenith started to explain the new power and the achievement which was unusual, "This achievement will be collected and once you completed the achievement a big reward will be given till then you will receive the rewards as usual, and with transcendence you can interact with multiple realities simultaneously."

I understand the value of this reward. Previously, my focus was solely on Prime Earth, but with this power, I can now influence all realities and every Earth within the Marvel Omniverse. This will greatly advance my plans.

After giving the reward, zenith said "Ryan, the second cosmos is going to start now you have to choose which of the sin that you want to awaken"

After some consideration, I choose "The sin of Pride." Zenith also awakened the Virtue of Gratitude with it.

[You have unlocked the Sin of Pride.]

[You have gained Dominion Over Others.]

[You have gained Enhanced Charisma.]

[You have gained Illusion Creator.]

[You have gained Seed of Sin.]

I decided to view my status screen for a quick review of my new abilities,

[Curse:

Limited Descension]

Well the abilities that came with the sin of pride is good, however the seed of sin is the best thing with this I can now plant hidden bombs and control their actions.

I decided to recount the major event that happen to the earth as far as I know, The Mother of Horrors is an entity that came from existence by herself, without any intervention from the One Above All, the creator of all reality and the Universe. Resenting the One Above All for dominating reality, the Mother Of Horrors claimed and hid the Earth from Him, and created two children to rule by Her side, her Eldest child and her son Udru, the latter who was created to directly challenge the One Above All.

When the One Above All discovered the Earth and laid eyes on Udru, He became enraged and manifested for the first time as His dark counterpart, the One Below All, who ripped apart and disfigured Udru and chained the Mother of Horrors.

Later One Above All sealed its manifestation in the lowest point in reality, the Below-Place. To serve in its role as the counterweight to the ever expanding life in the Universe. While he himself resides in the highest point in reality, Haven, The House of Ideas.
