24. Taking Over A Hell Dimension

Before Project Rebirth's final part took place, Hector decided to take over a Hell Dimension so he has a place to keep some stuff and also a place to live with no worry of someone interfering.

This was one aspect that Hector was utterly confident about. No dark/evil entity can stand against him, even if the Dormamu or the strongest Marvel Demon, Chthon, all would die in an instant by his hand.

In Hell, it was his job to exorcise demons, and during his long-long time as Hell's Inquisitor, his exorcism magic had gotten full OP. Also, he was asked by Satan to exorcise a few of them and send them to hell.

"Hmm, which dimension should I go to? I don't want to take over any major ones, just a small one will do. Hmmm..." He tried to think about which dimension to take over.

Unable to decide as all of these realms would provide him with fun powers, he decided to make it random. "Moony, my son, come here. I want you to choose a name from this list. I know you can read, so close your eyes."

Moony, wagging his tail, jumped on the table of the president. The list had 10 names, D'Spayre, N'astirh, Zarathos, Blackheart, Null, The Living Darkness, Dormammu, Shuma-Gorath, Chthon, Mephisto and The One Below All.

Hector personally wanted to go after Mephisto, as the man was just a demon but called himself Satan and made deals like a Satan. It was unacceptable, the puny demon was making a joke out of his friend, the real Satan.

But Moony randomly chose one, leaving the selection to fate. He sniffed the paper with closed eyes. "Woof" he finally put his paw on one name.

Hector ruffled Moony, "All right, let's see what name you choose."

Moony jumped onto Hector's lap to sit and looked at the page like a little kid.

"Ah... It's not Mephisto, but this is decent as well. Let's go and meet this being." Hector stood up, with Moony still in his arms.

Now, to get into a hell dimension, he needed the Godpad Pro. It was the only thing he could bring with him from real hell, as it was his personal property as Hell's Inquisitor.

He willed it and it appeared in his hand. The wallpaper was by default, the photos of a masked man, who was the Top Ruler of hell, sitting seductively in the lap of an old beardy man. It was heavily edited for sure.

He tapped on the search option. The loading screen appeared as it searched all the dimensions inside the Marvel Universe and made a list.

"Woof," Moony demanded to watch a dog video.

"Haha, fine, the search will take time. Here, watch this clip of a dog trying to say I love you." He quickly played a clip.

Like a good boy, Moony happily watched from his lap. He was a big dog, but still didn't lose the habit of sitting on a lap.

"Wa Wuv Wooo..." Moony tried to imitate saying I love you.

"Awww... I love you too, my son." He hugged the snowy gigantic husky.

*Beep Beep*

"Ah, the search is complete, let's go."

...

The process was simple, they just disappear and reappear in this dimension. No, the Godpad wasn't a teleportation device, but instead an interdimensional travel helper.

As soon as they appeared in the new dimension, they saw fire all around them. Of course, it didn't hurt, because it was made of darkness, something that didn't affect him, and by extent Moony.

"Argh... why can't these minor hell demons be a little innovative, every single one of their realms looks like this." He boredly yawned and moved forward toward the biggest mountain he could see. Most often demon castles are in such places. ~Too predictable~ he muttered.

However, as he walked toward there, he heard a lot of demonic screaming and the sound of a lot of hammers pounding on stones. He headed there to have a look. A moment later, he froze in shock, "Are these... they do like them. DAMN! I nearly forgot! Zarathos fought the ancient Spirits of Vengeance and corrupted a number of their overseers once. This means he has control over a few Ghost Riders."

Hector had come to this realm to kill Zarathos and take over the dimension. Zarathose was a strong demon who wished to use the Spirits of Vengeance to dethrone Mephisto. But, Mephisto tricked Zarathos and defeated him. Later, on occasion, Mephisto would forcibly bond Zarathos to mortals as a mockery of the Spirit of Vengeance. On one such occasion, he bonded Zarathos to carnival stunt cyclist Johnny Blaze. But all this had not happened yet.

He felt bad for these Spirits of Vengeance, they were a team of benevolent beings who protected mankind during ancient times. Although their origin was a mystery with a lot of unproven myths only.

~Fine, I will free them.~ he headed straight into Zarathos' castle.

"ZARATHOS, I've come to... kill you," Hector shouted, but there was no excitement or fear on the face as if he was in a park.

*RAAAA...* Demonic screams came from the castle and its doors opened. Then came a weirdly looking, but muscular, tight-clothed wrapped demon, it had a red skull for the head and was covered in blueish fire. He had a long blue cloak fluttering behind him as well.

"Who dares challenge the almighty Zarathos? Bow and kneel and I shall show mercy to your soul. But death is imminent." Zarathos proclaimed with total confidence.

Oh, how wrong he was. Hector didn't even hear him, he was cleaning Moony's eyes, there was some dirt under there due to sleeping for too long. After he was done, he looked at the demon, "Ah, you said something? I am Hector King Washington, by the way. I'm also known as Hell's Inquisitor."

"What Inquisitor? I don't have any Inquisitors!" Zarathos said.

Hector sighed, "Funny of you to call this little backyard a Hell. You have no idea what the real hell is. But you sure will see it now."

"PUNY HUMAN!" Zarathos, in his burning anger, lunged at Hector with his fist out to punch him. Hector didn't even move and took the punch like a man, but it never reached.

Zarathos' fist just touched Hector's beard when his body all of a sudden froze in its place. It was not Hector's doing, instead Zarathos himself stopped. Then shocking Hector, the skull had started to sweat and the fire decreased.

Hector smiled, "Puny human?"

*THUD* Zarathos fell to his knees, "I didn't know it was a supreme being, forgive this small one."

Hector didn't, he grabbed the Zarathos' skull like it was a basketball and lifted him up, "I'm going to need this realm, so I need to kill you."

Zarathos cried, "Fuck, how... NO! Argh... lord, I'll suck your cock if you want, I'll do anything, but please don't kill me."

Hector quickly threw him away, "What the... DISGUSTING! And why do you sound like you want me to say yes?"

"I wouldn't mind carrying your mighty seeds."

Hector felt like a billion insects crawled under his skin, "NOO... Please... NO!... Argh... gods, what did I just hear, please wipe my memory... SATAN, my brother, do me a favour."

But Hector only heard joyful laughter in his ear. Satan was having fun watching it seemed. Hector, annoyed, kicked Zarathos away, "Get away or I will turn you into minced meat, bitch."

"Please make me." Zarathos pleaded.

Hector asked, "What? Minced meat?"

"Your bitch... UWU..." Zarathos blurted in the most shameful way.

"Pal, I may be a virgin but I'm not this desperate... go and stand in that corner, still and silent." He commanded, using his exorcism powers to instil fear. He then turned to Moony, who was howling in laughter, "Boy, you go and tap on his back, he will die."

"Awoooo... BOW!" Moony rejected by strongly shaking his head. ~Dad, he wants to be a bitch, what if he catches me and...?~ was what the good boy argued with.

Hector grunted, "Fine, I will do it."

He walked to Zarathos and tapped his finger on his shoulder. This was enough to send a surge of his own powers into the demonic body. Hector's exorcism worked well by sending the demons to the real Omniversal hell to be deconstructed cell by cell, then remade into a servant demon.

As soon as Zarathos was killed, the air changed across the dimension. It didn't become like Earth, but the red, fiery and repulsive aura disappeared. Now, it was a neutral place. Just a bit red.

"We will later return to renovate the Palace. Let's head back now, I need to take that shot." Hector took out his Godpad again.

~Dad, taking drugs is bad.~ Moony barked.

"Hahaha... you're being too cheeky today, boy. Come," He picked the good boy up.

*BAM*

But, he was stopped from leaving. He turned around and noticed a crazy sight, all the Spirits of Vengeance that Zarathos had caught and corrupted, for some reason kneeled to him.

"You are all free now, go back to your realm." He ordered them.

"You... are the Supreme Being... the Hell's Inquisitor, the ultimate punisher. You are a pathfinder for us." The spirits spoke in an airy whispering voice.

Hector and Moony looked at each other's faces. This was a surprise, to be sure. "So, all of you will follow my commands? Fight when I ask you to come and fight?"

"WE SHALL!" They all affirmed.

~This is amazing, they can be really helpful in my future wars. But, they can not exist in the mortal world in their spirit forms. So I needed to find bodies for them to possess. Thankfully, we're in the middle of a war, and getting a few dozen bodies should not be hard.~ he made plans for these Spirits.

"Then this is my first command, I shall find bodies for you all to possess. Until then, go and broom this palace, it will be my secret dwelling." He ordered, as absurd as it sounded, it saved him time cleaning the place himself.

All the skeleton spirits nodded and headed into the castle. At the same time, Hector counted all of them. "One, Two, Three... Okay, there are 68 Spirits Of Vengeance,"

"Moony, let's go." He called the good boy. But, for some reason, unlike normal, Moony didn't come.

He turned around to look for him, and Lo and behold, "No! Moony, you're not supposed to chew these Spirits. They are not bones to eat."

"WOWWW!" Moony said they were tasty.

"Come on, I will get you other bones, leave this poor guy alone." He felt bad for the Spirit of Vengeance who was being chewed on by the large husky. Moony threw some tantrums, being true to his breed, then jumped into Hector's arms.

"Haha, you know what, this makes 69 Spirits of Vengeance, which is NICE!" He happily left the dimension, which he had newly named Funhouse.
