Chp. 77 Tea Thieves, Kitchen Thieves

"So you say that the foundation of the Rampage research is from an ancient civilization that made these so called Kongs? 50 feet tall Gorillas that were in a symbiotic relationship with the natives?" Kate was totally shocked hearing this as she and the others looked at recordings of Kongs being raised by Paul.

"Yes, they are hidden for the moment but you'll get to meet them later. Though their transformation is a bit stable compared to this forceful change in the DNA but it seems that George did not gain much physical transformation other that size because the formula is tailored for gorillas." Paul explained as he placed a large casserole on the table.

Helen, Alice and Mia was on the side giving plates and utensils around while the rest listened.

"That seems to be good news to our large 60 ton primate friend isn't it Davis? At least he'll still have a troop to lead, as the records seem to show that the Kongs are mostly female and the males are still young, Big old George is going to be happy about this." Russell chuckled as he drank whiskey with Caine and Koji who became his drinking buddies.

"Yeah, it seems so. How did the world take this event then?" Davis asked as he looked at Paul a bit worried of the effects of this news booming all over the world.

"Meh, same old same old. Rich people getting greedy, people protesting, PETA getting active in their protests and lots of internet trolls posting fake news and misleading data. It'll take about ten years at the latest before they can figure things out but then maybe then will the world be ready for this much power in their hands." Paul shrugged his shoulders.

"I never thought that the High Table would even make a move. I am sure the governments are taking actions now that the high table broke the line first." Marcus said as he remembered the people that went for Energyne's servers.

"When are we going to space anyways?" Akira asked as she ate braised pork while looking at Paul.

"What do you mean? We are already in Space." Paul said and the window at the side opened making the people inside the ship walk towards it and watch the blue planet and its moon getting a bit further away.

"Whoa, I never felt the ship move at all!" Caine said as he looked at the view with his daughter by his side.

"I made sure to stealthily lift off without making much movement so people won't bother us. Who knows if someone is crazy enough to send a nuke as we ascend to space?" Paul shrugged his shoulders as he ate.

"This day just keeps making me surprised, it seems to me I have seen everything there is to see but I feel that with you there will be more that'll open our eyes." Russell said as he looked at Paul seemingly unsure if this was indeed a powerful being like they had thought he'd be.

"Okay finish up you meal guys, I just reconnected with my real self and it seems that we'll have to buckle up tight for the journey." Paul said as his real self, waiting in the outside just met something troublesome.

The crew looked at each other and ate their meals and went back to their rooms as Paul instructed, while on the bridge only Marcus, John, Akira and Ares was present watched at the ship covered itself with a Quantum Force field.

There they saw the view change as the ship picked up speed until the stars and planets blurred past them while the image of earth turned into a small blue dot.

There the ship was met with a large bluish portal and was swallowed immediately. But just as they emerged out to the other side the whole place was lit with red light.

"EVENING ELEPHANT STAMPEDE!!" A mental shout was heard suddenly by the others as Paul's real body is fighting a Galaxy sized Eldritch Horror and sent thousands off punches on the being pushing it back.

Meanwhile Paul was in 8th gear and was in gigantic mode that reached about half the size of earth yet that was not enough to equal the size of the large blob of flesh covered with eyes and tentacles.

"Everybody close your eyes!" Paul sent this mental message to the people he got from both Troll World and the Drowned World. The two Cruisers were now side to side and were being covered by a golden shield made by the Lion Clone that was now two kilometers tall as Paul also made it transform at its semi beast state and enlarged with the gigantification technique.

But that was all this clone could do while the wolf clone that was here was five hundred meters tall now and pulled the two Dreadnought Cruisers as well as the few Cr90 Corvettes to the Scroll world.

The people in the ships closed their eyes but they felt the fear and horror from the screech of the being getting hurt from Paul's relentless attacks.

Paul's clones made sure no chaotic powers of the being get through as his real self, pushed the being back while the Wolf Clone now got the one he wanted to get into the scroll world.

Then the wolf clone went to channel his powers of teleportation and opened a path to Marvel. Paul gritted his teeth as he pushed out everything he has including his maximum output of Psionic energy in his fist and sent millions of powerful reality breaking punches.

The being recoils as it felt its soul being torn apart from Paul's attacks thus giving time for Paul to pull his two clones and get through the closing portal.

He then made sure to close it immediately as he passed by. Then the area of that void was silent but in reality everything material is trembling as the Eldritch creature felt angry for losing its prey.

[Marvel]

"Haa! Haa…*Pant*" Paul panted as he had never felt such a thing before, even against Morgoth he did not panic but when that being appeared his fight response kicked in and went on full auto in attacking with pure powered punches.

It might have been a quick interaction but Paul extended that moment to a few years to get enough punches in, though it might look like millions but he did more than that.

"Shit, seems I'll be careful for a lot of things in the future now after this shit." Paul said as he sat down on his office in the Man-cave sweating like hell.

"Damn, whatever that thing is I do not want to meet again. Was I unlucky again this time to have met an Eldritch horror of all times? Good thing I got them all, hooo…. Let's all go meet them." Paul stood up and teleported to an Open area.

There some people already awaited the new arrivlas, Thorin, Kili, Fili, Thrain and Tauriel as well as some select people he had brought with him like Sapphire and her brother as well as the people that followed him back here.

There was also the Trolls, Oliphaunts, Two Kinds of Great Beast(The one in Torwin's Book and the Rhino-like ones that were pulling Ghrond), there was also a small version of the Rhino-like beast that were domesticated by Dwarves in the Misty Mountains.

Also Paul even found some dark Beasts in the vast place of Middle Earth like Graugs and Caragors. He had a great time taming them and turning them into docile creatures without the dark influence of Morgoth.

Maybe that was why he targeted Paul in the first place since he went on monster shopping when he was in middle earth. He even got the local great cats called Pards by the humans, they are like large lynxes and are quite wild to tame.

Dire wolves were also added since they exist in few numbers in the north and lastly the dragons he had found and tamed. His mount was even in a large open area sitting watching Paul as a small cat sat on top of it.

They had been here for about a week already and they had been slowly taught by his clone on what kind of world they were in and why had they been brought here by Paul.

"Good morning guys, it seems that I am able to take more of my avatars back along with some people that agreed to follow me just like you all did." Paul said as he arrived in a podium. This part of the Man-cave was not introduced yet to other outsiders but only Ying Li is allowed to travel around.

Even Gravik and Gi'ah was not yet given authority to travel into this part of the Man-Cave.

"Lord Paul, you seem to have seen a ghost or something? Is everything alright?" Kili asked as he seemed to be the most loyal to Paul when he learned that Morgoth had targeted them and he made a huge move of taking them away.

"Yeah I'm fine, just a little hiccup. Didn't think a creature much dangerous than Morgoth would attack me out in the place beyond the Void. Haish that thing is totally massive, very ugly too. Anyways I am bringing your future co-workers and fellow citizens to my city!" Paul waved his hand and two portals emerged on the side.

Soon Teon Ma, Bota, Rita, Narisa, Gongtae, Sonia, Jako, Brune, Mao, Tasha, Noah, Ling, Kana, Sea Monkey and Uku arrived followed by the chonky Crabs as they were a bit curious like children.

The new arrivals were surprised at the ones waiting with Paul and even looked alert seeing the dragon lying at the back.

The other is where John, Marcus, Perkins, Ares, Caine, Mia, Koji, Akira, Helen, Alice(A/N: I'll remind that this is the name I made for Sofia Al-Azwar's daughter.) Sofia, Davis, Kate and Russell came out of.

They were a bit surprised as well at the dragon at the back but they were also followed by monsters of their own. George went out of the Portal making the others present surprised while he led a few large robots to pull on large chains dragging in Lizzie who does not lose out to the dragon on the back.

While Ralph was also brought in as well as he seemed to have calmed down and was fearful of Paul's clone. There they saw Paul's clone look at the real one and nodded then left.

"I have just received the memories of the avatars I have sent out to research. And I am glad to have made a number of friends on my journey, I just hope that they did not treat you too harshly my friends hahaha..." Paul laughed as he made it seem that some actions of the avatars were not his so the people present were calmed down.

"Anyways, Welcome to my world. There might be a lot of questions for everyone but how about we start with a party and introduce everyone right one by one would that be okay for all of you?" Paul smiled as they were soon led to a large dining hall where dozens of dishes awaited.

There was even a corner for the beasts to hang out with as they were served with gigantic proportions like whole roast cows, roasted Terror Birds, tons of leafy greens for the vegetarians and gigantic sea food.

Lizzie and Ralph are not here as they were taken by a clone of his to another place to slowly tame them and have them go with a makeover. He had already placed Gordic, Kentrassi and some Kongs in specialized enclosures that imitates their habitats as well as provide a place to hunt for them.

One thing that is not lacking in the three world items Paul has is that the past owners have thousands of different species of weak Demonic Beasts that are cultivated to be used as ingredients for alchemy and forging.

So these were not pure blooded Demonic beast and only placed on the plains of the world items as decorative things. But it did become the main meat provider for Paul since then since they populate fast as well as the time dilated world adding to the mix.

Now there are thousands of tons of food for the monsters for then in each enclosure that is wide enough to hold them in. Smallest is a room expanded to a 30kmx30km area by Quantum Space Folding tech up to a 60kmx60km area.

They are also reinforced by spatial stabilization formation to ensure that they would not loose effect should an accident in the Man-cave occur.

Paul even ensured it further by putting a bit more of his spatial powers in the mix so even if the Tsar Bomba exploded on the side of the enclosure then the whole space will still hold on.

His understanding of his powers were deepening by the second that he felt that soon he might be able to seal up a whole planet inside a small box.

His collecting hobby is getting more traction and he felt that he might even steal the collection of the Collector Tivan of the Marvel World.

But he dropped this urge for now as he rather enjoy the moment, he had been in this world for a few months but he had been living years already after the end of his own world.

Yet the mother Earth of his world is nowhere near close to waking up making him a bit impatient but he waited. So he thought that maybe he should live a bit in this world and try to learn a bit from living this life.

Paul spent the night mingling with the people that agreed to follow him and he gave them their own rooms as well to have them rest so they can have time to learn more of this world they were in.

[Midnight]

Paul was standing in his room alone as he thought about his actions for the near future.

"Took you long enough to arrive." Paul turned around and a tea cup floated to the guest that just arrived.

"I was a bit occupied lately. Some trouble in other dimensions… So you've finally brought them over here, seems it was hard for your to change their natural nature before you brought them here." The Ancient one said as she sipped the tea Paul gave her and smiled.

"It did, but I was able to insert them into this reality after some time. I just didn't expect to encounter something that can be considered as one of the Old Ones." Paul said as he shuddered at the being he fought.

"An Old One, Lovecraft old one or the nicer kind of Old one?" Ancient One asked as she perked up a bit.

"Lovecraft is here too? Man, that guy is everywhere… two out of three worlds I went to had records about him. And yes, its Lovecraft mind bending eldritch monstrosity. But I was able to hoodwink it and escaped through a long route of running around different realities." Paul said as he indeed did not directly go to the Marvel world to escape.

His portal went through a series of winding turns and splits in various world bubbles not caring about them if the being destroyed realities trying to hunt him down.

He even had some clones leave trails but ultimately he gathered them all back and made it home in one piece or many pieces since his clones were involved.

"There is no need to worry, the ones that live in this reality would not let them in. And I think you know that, but it was a good decision to mislead it from this reality." Ancient One nodded in understanding as she has some idea of what a eldritch horror can do if it ever arrives in this reality.

"Do some of them interest you?" Paul asked as he drank some gin.

"That girl Rita, she is so full of life force that she can basically use it as Qi if she ever learns to manifest it properly. But that will depend on her, it seems she is quite attached to her family at the moment. And Narisa that girl has spent a long time between living and death that she has a talent for the occult, but I'll leave it into your discretion if you want them to learn the mystic arts." The Ancient One smiled as she seemed to be already fond of Rita.

"Really? What about the Elves? They seem to be able to harness magic and they also draw some power from me, I have a lot in excess here. Ohh! Speaking of which, catch!" Paul wove his fingers in the air and made a golden mark that flew towards Yao who was a bit confused at first but she realized what Paul gave her.

"You want me to draw power from you? And without any price for the energy you'll provide as well?" The Ancient One was surprised as she saw the floating sigil.

"Yeah I just learned to make that, I seemed to have met Dormammu's sister who he sealed in a far corner of the splinter realms. She's a chess buddy of mine and I talk to her from time to time, she's a powerful sorceress too. But she cannot transform back to her previous form similar to that of Dormammu. Yet it seems my company also bore fruit as she taught me nifty things, since she said I am somewhat similar to their race even though I do not know what that means." Paul rambled on as he seemed like a kid trying to show off talking about the various things he learned to master Magic.

"Sister?" The Ancient One raised her brow as she heard this.

"Yeah, she is named Umar the Unrelenting. Though she is a bit of a silent type she seemed like good company, I'll break her out soon to agitate Dormammu anyways so I can at least beat him up to give up the part of your soul." Paul slinked back in his seat and said this nonchalantly.

"Why? Why do this for me Mister Esteban?" The Ancient One asked as she could never understand what Paul is thinking or planning.

"Why? Just felt like it I guess, you seem very nice as well so I don't mind doing this on the side. Besides, I have not found a punching bag that could withstand my full strength now other than him and those beyond his strength. It's not like he'll die wait…hmmm, I seem to have become a fluent speaker of Yapanese… never mind. So that'll be it, I'll be doing a bit for the near future and please do not hesitate to call for my assistance okay?" Paul smiled as he seemed to have figured something out.

"*sigh* It seems you are really hard to predict but very simple to understand as well. This tea, do you have more of this?" Ancient One asked as she sipped the cup on her hand.

"Kitchen top right corner shelf, there are still a lot of it there but take only a kilo every time. Mordo and Wong seems to be brewing them from time to time while you are away." Paul said while he saw the Ancient One seemingly narrowing her eyes.

"I knew it was them!" She whispered but she didn't let it get to her as she thought she'll hide it in a better hidden corner later. "Thank you for the tea, I'll be going then."

There she opened a portal and went to the kitchen where Fili and Kili were like deer caught in headlights as they have dozens of fruits and dessert on their arms as they sneaked around taking some midnight snacks.

"Good morning…" the Ancient One said as she opened the top right corner and took a bag of Long-bottom Tea Leaves then opened another portal and left.

Kili and Fili were looking at Paul who was giving them a judging stare as he somehow realize these two were putting on weight. But he did not say anything as he waved his hand and the portal slowly closed as the two Dwarven Princes were unsure on what to do right now.

"Hey… did you all get it?" Thrain peeked out from a corner as he and Thorin were in look out for Ying Li as she will totally get angry if she caught them taking these snacks in the middle of the night.

"Uhmm, yeah we got them Grandpa." Kili and Fili looked at each other and swore within them to not talk about them being busted by Paul.

"Well hurry up, my great grandson needs sustenance." Thrain said as he seemed to be accepting of Tauriel now and even pulled his descendants over to take more sweets for the pregnant elf.

"You again!" Ying Li said as she appeared on the corner seeing the sneaking dwarves.

"She's here! Run for your lives!" Thorin was the first to bolt away as he left his father and nephews to fend for themselves.

"Traitor!" Thrain shouted as he also ran away leaving his grandsons.

"???"Fili was confused as he looked at his brother and they too ran away in different directions.

"Why you!!" Ying Li was angered as she then went to chase the fridge thieves in the wide mansion.
