Alternate Story 8/One Future of Many

March 24, 2035

On the streets of New York, although screaming could be heard in the surrounding area.

Near the Avengers Tower, there was silence because of what happened in front of the zombie heroes.

Alex had easily killed two of his most powerful fellows far too easily.

The dimensional creatures only hesitated a bit and continued to charge at Alex and Est.

"Stay away!" a soft voice shouted, moments later, a terrifying Cosmic Energy directly hit the dimensional creatures.

Although some were destroyed, it was only a minority, the rest were only pushed back.

"Girl, I told you to stay behind, why did you follow us?" Alex asked looking at the figure that appeared in front of him.

"Hehehe, sorry Uncle Alex, but I was really worried, so I came secretly." the small figure said with a joyful smile.

This figure is Valeria.

Alex looks at his daughter, who had inherited her mother's abilities and obtained the benefits of his 'Genetic Adapter' gift, and a calm smile forms on his face and he gently strokes her golden hair.

"Okay, but don't leave my side" Alex said with a serious expression.

He knows very well how terrifying this virus is, since even mechanical beings can become infected.

So he doesn't know for sure if his heirs can withstand the infection.

"Est, bring all the zombies from the city to this place and create a dome so they can't escape" Alex ordered calmly, seeing that there were zombies that were moving away from the place.

Without hesitating for a second, Est's Power Cosmic spread throughout the place completely covering all the zombies who intended to continue expanding.

With a snap of her fingers, Est attracted all the zombies to the vicinity of the Avengers Tower.

With a single glance you can see thousands of zombies counting the dimensional creatures.

Without further ado, Est creates a large energy dome and traps all the zombies in it, including Alex, Valeria, and herself.

"What's wrong, Est?" Alex realized that Est frowned after creating the dome.

"I wanted to remove them from reality, but my ability had no effect" Est answered as she narrowed her eyes, looking at the zombies.

"It's normal, the most effective way to destroy these guys is with direct energy attacks or physical attacks. Attacks that affect the concept of reality aren't very effective" Alex replied calmly looking at the dark faces of the zombie heroes.

After all, that zombie «virus» is really special, since even beings like Galactus and the Dark Phoenix were affected by it.

Well, the latter wished for it.

"Well, well, I never expected a guy we don't know to be so strong and also possess all the Infinity Stones" a voice said with a heavy tone.

Alex looks at the culprit of the voice and, although his face and suit are worn, Alex knows who he is.

Tony Stark zombie!

"Well, I am unique in the entire multiverse. Although due to my two foolish children, there is a new branch of time where I also exist, although that is irrelevant to the current situation. You all have two options:" Alex said casually, as he held up two fingers of his gauntleted hand.

"Two options?" without changing his expression, Reed Richards Zombie subconsciously asked.

"Yes, either you go back where you came from or you decide to stay, but this will be your end" Alex replied looking at them without expression.

"Hehehe, Uncle Alex, you're being very nice to them by giving them a choice" young Valeria said as she laughed and hugged Alex's arm.

"Ah! My daughter, you don't know how much I miss you. Come closer to me, so I can give you all my love" a zombie Susan Storm said with a loving tone but the stranger wished in her eyes and how she showed her teeth full of remains of flesh and blood, hinted at her true intentions.

"That's true, come to your parents and stay away from that man" Reed Richards zombie added.

Alex gives this Reed a strange look but couldn't say anything since Valeria was faster.

"Keep quiet! This man is my father and although you look like my stepfather Reed Richards, I won't forgive you if you keep talking nonsense" the girl said coldly releasing a terrifying aura.

Although Valeria always calls Alex uncle, she only does it for fun since her mother told her the truth of her birth a long time ago.

Only out of respect for her stepfather Reed, not many people know that.

After all, during the invasion that destroyed Genosha, having Valeria in the Baxter Building and in the care of the Fantastic Four kept her safe.

Susan and Reed zombie are puzzled by the situation.

"This is the multiverse after all, but let's put that aside, if we want to satisfy our hunger we must kill these people. It's a shame not to have our Power Cosmic, but in this universe there must be a Galactus, right?" Tony Stark zombie commented with a shrug and showing his bloody teeth.

The zombies all over the place show their excitement and charge at Alex's group, showing no fear.

"I guess if I don't show them who I am, they won't know what real fear is" when he finished speaking, Alex clenched his right fist and punched the air in front of him.

The zombies were first taken aback by Alex's actions but immediately after their doubts were answered.

A terrifying purple aura emanated from Alex's arm and took on the appearance of the head of a terrifying Western Dragon, which as it formed, shot out at the zombies.

Opening its jaws, it devoured all the zombies it came across.

With that attack, Alex started a massacre of zombies.
