World Domination: part 3 (chapter 120)
His vision revealed that some of the Eternals were about to be killed by a Deviant, that Deviant being Kro. The Deviants were another hidden race of mindless creatures that had been at war with the Eternals, well all except kro was mindless "Kro, like all Deviants, has the basic ability to absorb the powers of anything he kills, which is a very powerful ability that needs to be present in Project Null in case that power is used on me," he thought to himself as he then saw a hologram showing a vision where Kro and his underlings would emerge from their long and icy imprisonment and kill two of the Eternals. "Good thing they're all separated," he sighed as he prepared to deal with the first of the Eternals and the weakest one of the bunch.

Inside a warehouse in a London museum, a woman could be seen curating one of the museum's many artifacts. The woman was striking, with a kind face. She was Sersi, with long, flowing dark hair and wearing elegant, earth-toned clothing. Her graceful, calm demeanor gave off an aura of someone deeply connected to nature. Her eyes, full of warmth, hinted at a deep understanding of the world around her, especially as she examined the artifact in hand. However, while she was busy studying the artifact, she suddenly turned around to face Henry, who was watching her with interest. "Can I help you?" she asked.
"Yes, Sersi, yes," he replied as he telekinetically lifted her off the ground. "By dying, that is," he added, rendering Sersi unable to move before snapping her neck and teleporting away. Inside the dimension cube, after Henry had likely extracted all the valuable things he could from Sersi's lifeless corpse, he could be seen staring at an essence of blood inside a flask as he pondered, "Well, this is unexpected."
[ Name: Eternal Blood Essence ]
[ Grade: 7th ]
[ Description: This essence is extracted from Sersi, an artificially created being designed by the Celestial Arishem the Judge. The blood carries the potent life force and cosmic energy unique to her, making it incredibly powerful. ]
[ Effects: a permanent increase in 1,000% regeneration, 1,000% cosmic energy control, 1,000% physical durability, 1,000% strength, 1,000% longevity, 1,000% healing factor, 1,000% mental resilience ]
[ Deterioration-Rate: 0% ]
The fact that Sersi was an artificial being created by a Celestial, not to mention a Celestial called Arishem the Judge, did ring some bells in Henry's mind before he sighed and placed the blood essence down. "Well, what's done is done. In the worst-case scenario, I can rush my magnum opus," he thought with a faint smile as he then headed for his next target.
-Scene Change-
In the icy caverns of Antarctica, Henry stood amidst the freezing temperatures, wearing his usual attire. Despite the cold, he radiated a large amount of heat, melting the ice around him. The ice beneath his feet was rapidly turning into a vast crater of water, steam rising as the temperature continued to climb. Henry was methodically digging through the ice, his movements deliberate and unhurried. It didn't take long before he found what he was looking for—a group of frozen Deviants.
These creatures had an array of inhuman features, including jagged, scaled skin and sharp, menacing appendages, making them appear both alien and terrifying. Their physical appearance varied; some had elongated limbs, multifaceted eyes, and fearsome, predatory shapes. Henry looked around at the Deviants before finally turning his attention to their leader, Kro. Kro was a large, imposing figure with a sleek, reptilian form that combined elements of predatory creatures. His body was covered in dark, scaled armor that reflected a sinister, almost metallic sheen, and his skin had a deep, shadowy coloration. He possessed elongated, jagged limbs and sharp, talon-like claws, giving him a threatening and agile appearance. His head was adorned with a set of menacing, spiked protrusions, and his eyes glowed with a predatory, malevolent intensity.
Henry let the Deviants acclimate to their surroundings for a second before they spotted him. Instinctively, they attacked, driven by their primal nature and the sight of a potential enemy.
Henry didn't flinch. He stood still, his posture relaxed, almost as if he were amused by the sight of these creatures lunging at him. As they closed in, he raised a hand, unleashing a wave of telekinetic force that sent the first few Deviants crashing into the cavern walls with bone-shattering force. The sound of breaking ice and the groans of the creatures echoed through the cavern, but Henry remained unfazed.
Kro, more cunning than his underlings, circled around, looking for an opening. Henry noticed this and smirked, releasing a burst of fire from his other hand that set the surrounding ice ablaze. The intense heat caused the cavern to crack and splinter, sending shards of ice raining down. The Deviants recoiled, but Kro pressed forward, determined to overwhelm him.
Henry allowed them to get closer this time. As they did, he unleashed a psychic blast that struck the minds of the creatures with the force of a freight train. They staggered, their thoughts fragmented and confused, their coordinated attack falling apart. Kro snarled, shaking off the effects, and launched himself at Henry with a ferocity that sent shockwaves through the ground.
Henry responded with a display of telekinesis that lifted Kro into the air, freezing him in place. The reptilian leader struggled, his limbs thrashing, but he was powerless against the invisible force holding him. Henry slowly clenched his fist, and the pressure around Kro increased, the sounds of his armored scales creaking under the strain filling the air.
With a flick of his wrist, Henry sent Kro hurtling into the remaining Deviants, sending them crashing into each other. The cavern shook from the impact, more ice crumbling and falling as the chaos ensued. The other Deviants, sensing their leader's peril, renewed their assault, but Henry was already ahead of them.
He raised both hands, generating a massive wave of fire that engulfed the entire group. The intense heat melted the ice walls around them, turning the cavern into a hellish landscape of steam and boiling water. The Deviants howled in pain as their bodies were consumed by the flames, their once menacing forms reduced to charred remnants.
Kro, however, was not so easily defeated. He emerged from the inferno, his body smoking but still intact, his eyes burning with rage. He lunged at Henry with a speed that belied his size, claws extended, aiming for a fatal strike.
Henry met his attack head-on, his body moving with supernatural speed. He dodged Kro's claws with ease, delivering a series of telekinetically enhanced blows that rocked the Deviant leader to his core. Each strike was precise, calculated, and devastating, leaving Kro reeling and off-balance. As the fight progressed, the environment around them continued to deteriorate. The ice cavern, once solid and unyielding, was now a volatile mix of melting ice and steam, the ground unstable under the heat and force of their battle. Cracks spread through the ice, causing large chunks to break off and fall into the abyss below.

A/N: When I first started this fanfic, I thought I could cover all the TV shows and movies in the MCU (I know, pretty ambitious). But as I progressed, I realized that was unrealistic. So, I've decided to give you what you want in the final part of this fanfic, which will start in two chapters. What TV show or movie do you guys want Henry to mess with? (At this point, Henry wants to destabilize the timeline instead of following it. You'll find out why, and he's pretty powerful—powerful enough to sleep on mountains of Infinity Stones. I'll explain how later.) I've already done What If...?(yes, goddess of life hella is there, i know) and plan to cover the Wolverine and Deadpool movies. So, what do you guys want next?(remember, he wants chaos)
ps: who do you guys is a better partner for matt mardock, elektra or Karen page?
