As Crius in the Comic Omniverse

A booming voice coming from nowhere would mark the start the of my second and last voice:

"GO AND ENTERTAIN ME, MORTAL"​

That's how I was stripped from everything I knew, loved and hated to appear nowhere.

In the beginning there was nothing, then in a burst of pure creation I sprang into existence. After that, it was like someone pushed the fast-forward button. An unknown amount of time later as I was growing weary to the time passing, I came to an abrupt stop and for the first time since the beginning of this unwanted aventure. It made me conscious of my state of being as a soul. As I was wondering what to do in this void and starting panicking as it looked a lot like what I imagined hell would look like, something happened.

Like a nightmare starting anew, I heard another voice, although this time it was a feminine voice: "WHAT ARE YOU? I THOUGHT I WERE ALONE. UNFORTUNATELY, I ALREADY STARTED THE PROCESS. TAKE THIS, I WILL NAME IT THE BEYOND STONE, IT WILL BE THE 8TH ONE. WE WILL MEET AGAIN, OTHER." I then noticed a white gem with a woman face merging with my soul before the fast forwarding starting again.

Some eternities later, I noticed that my consciousness slowly evolved from a human mortal one to a higher timeless one, probably a defense mechanism to not go insane. It was in those conditions that my journey ended. I came to be born as a humanoid being but as a baby I was already taller than the tree used to make my crib. I soon learned I reincarnated as the 11th Titan, Crius, Titan God of the Constellations. Obviously, I was somewhat disappointed to have not become Cronus and getting time powers but it was better than most. I was after all a God by birth.

At 10, I was only a toddler when my divinity awakened. In my nineties, I reached my adult form and found out a better way to use my powers. I was linked to 88 constellations that served as my power source. They could empower me, recover my energy and heal me. Added to my Titan physiology I was a really a force of nature. Beyond these 88 constellations, I could sense through the white gem in my soul, that there was an infinite sea of power in the beyond waiting for me to discover. In the meantime, I was inspired by a show from my past life to create incarnation from each of the constellations I could control. But it was easier said than done. It took me 40 years to create my first incarnation: Aries. She had two forms: a ram form and a purple haired woman form. She was immortal as long as I lived and willed it. She was as powerful as a Titan with a focus on speed. She made my connection with the Aries constellation infinitely closer. I could use it as my eyes and hears and even control the star in it. I could teleport everywhere inside the coverage of the stars as well. I could borrow her powers and she could grant me super speed. With that boost? i was faster than my father Ouranos, all my siblings, my mother Gaea and my cousin-uncle Atum. In fact, all the intelligent beings I ever met in my second life. The Hecatoncheires and Cyclopes being imprisoned in Tartarus, I never met them.

Dinosaurs started appearing on Earth. When I wasn't busy playing around with my powers, training with my acquaintances or entertaining myself however I can imagine; I liked to study the creations of Mother's.

Spoiler: Crius

In my sixth century, my younger brother Iapetus was born soon after I managed to perfectly master 12 incarnations. In fact, after creating the first incarnation creating more became truly easy but they each come with power that I had to master separately. With Aries speed at max, I could even ignore time and space. With Gemini illusion I managed to make all my family live in a dream I drafted for a century and till this day they didn't discover it.

The strongest of my incarnation so far is Virgo. She grants me besides excessively sharp senses and precision as well as a calm mind a kind of reality warping. I still don't master it thoroughly but for now I could will laws that will rewrite reality in accordance to my powers. For now my laws can only affect one galaxy at once. I now have enough power to defeat Father one on one. I'm proud of myself to reach the level of a God King in just some short centuries.

Iapetus soon proved to be to my liking. He greatly helped me in my biology projects as the Titan God of Mortality. Most ideas resulted in failures but the rare successes were exhilarating.

In my fourth millennium, the last of us Cronus was born. I wasn't jealous of his dominion over time anymore as my control over the 88 primary constellations (I discovered some more too far to affect me when I was still a youngster) granted me infinite powers.

I found a nice surprise in the Andromeda Galaxy. Atum each time releases his Demogorge powers in that galaxy. Hence when I created my Andromeda incarnation and found this well of powers , after some deliberations I decided for Andromeda to absorb this power in her chain slowly and refine it. In that process she already become my third strongest incarnation only behind Gemini and Virgo. I also started learning on my side Elder Gods powers from Gaea and Atum.

Iapetus and me created the golden age of men. They were immortal, powerful and smart. But they couldn't reproduce autonomously. I'm still deciding whether it's better like that or should we remodel them.

At the young age of 23780, I made a discovery that drastically changed my life. Gaea was plotting against Ouranos while I was being greatly disinterested. That's when I discovered a new galaxy almost empty; the Black Galaxy. More interesting is its unique living inhabitant, Ego the Living Planet, self-proclaimed the largest, most powerful intelligence in all infinity! Created by accident by the Stanger, powerful enough to barely repel Galactus while greatly lacking in attack means. He was my goal for some millenium now. Taking my wife Eurybia and our sons; Astraios (god of dusk), Pallas (god of warcraft) and Perses (god of destruction) with me, I teleported to Helios Ra along with my army of incarnations. The difficulty of our combat increased as I was trying to minimize the destruction to the planet while incapacitating Egros. Just try to imagine it and you'll see how tiring it sounds. The battle lasted 392 years. Finally, I erased Egros while keeping most of the characteristics of the planet. After that, I divided a strand of my consciousness to take over the husk of the now departed Egros. After 50 years, Ego became my clone and I started making some aesthetic changes (slowly changing its base composition to one similar to the Unstable Molecules Reed Richards would discover) to it as well as adding productions of materials I gathered in my previous travel: Adamantine I took from the Brontes in Tartarus which I visited in my youth when I imprisoned everyone in my illusion; Argonite; Carvorite; Epiridium; Inferno42; Molynite; Mysterium; Nanominium; Orichalcum; Plandanium, Plasti-Thenes; Primagen; Quantum Particles; Uru; Vibranium; Yaka;... It took more than a millenium of playing with reality to modify Ego enough to my liking. I used the occasion to cut the Black Galaxy from the main dimension to make it my pocket dimension.

After that, I returned to Earth with my family. Gaea plot had just been accomplished by my siblings committing patricide. Cronus proclaimed himself King and started constructing Olympus to imitate the Heliopolis of Ra. Coming back in such a setting made me sigh how in such a such a short time there could be so many changes. I decided to act. Firstly, I broke Ouranos curse on Cronos by dethroning him myself instead of Zeus. I then proclaimed myself the Eternal God King and suspended Olympus creation. My newly acquired dimension would serve as home to all Olympian and Ego was renamed Olympus. I used the occasion and awakened Nyx. After a quick fight she surrendered and Hypnos wasn't born by her alone anymore. I also profited to spoof Knull by creating my own symbiotes from the Demiurge. In fact, I just used it to rebuild my incarnations and myself. It granted me powers like cosmic energy, dark and light energy manipulation,... through my incarnations. The weakest of my incarnations can solo Aegaeon, Cottus, and Gyges that are individually as strong as 100 base Titans (they have only physical strength). I could also assign one of my incarnations to someone be it fusing with it or using its powers.

Gaea was punished by me as she plotted against a previous God King. For 10000 years, she would be made mortal and live between the Dinosaurs deprived of her powers. My siblings that participated suffered the same sentence. I wanted to discourage all such future endeavors. In those 10000 years, I tuned Olympus and its inhabitants to my liking. I then mostly let it runs by itself as long as it kept improving.

I spent the next few millions of years venturing through the universe. I started by visiting the growing Earth pantheons. I first went to the Heliopolis and stayed for a few centuries only as I was already pretty familiar with it. The first decades was pretty boring. Atum shared with me what he learned from his millions years of studying the solar power. He was pretty lonely and we only fougth Apophis periodically. I decided to pose as an Egyptian God and let my mark in Heliopolis. I took the identity of Sobek. Together we started creating others Egyptian Gods like Bastet but Atum insisted to have them be half beasts as there wasn't any humans yet to compare. When departing, I let one of my incarnation that will act as Toth and gather informations.

My next stop was the Vaudou Loas. I made a good friend there: the Baron. He had many persona but the best was the Baron Samedi. He was a chill dude that knew how to enjoy his eternity. He often leaves Earth to go to more advanced civilisations like the Kree to party for decades. I spent many millennia in his company. The guy even befriended Old Ones like Cthulhu and partied with them. The orgy he started were always epic. I studied his Life and Death powers. I also became a master witch doctor under the teaching of Papa Legba.

I then passed several pantheons: Hindu, Chinese, Japanese... The Hindus were greats enough, they knew how to live. Xian was so stuck up in his extravagance and snobism that I went away after only three decades. Isanagi and Isanami were cool but being too much in love they didn't have much time to consecrate to me.

Another pantheon, I stayed long in was the Celtic one. Crom was barbaric but he was the being with the strongest physical power I ever met. In fact he didn't have any other powers but just his body strength could break everything. While not very smart, he was simple and a great friend after a quick brawl. He even shared with me his way to train his body.

The Aztecs taught me other ways to manipulate the natural elements. On the future american lands, I took a baby Thunderbird as a pet. I named it Eclair. It had a a wingspan of 1km when he hatched.

Spoiler: Eclair, the baby Thunderbird

I then went to the Norse worlds to close my pantheons trip. Bur was the reigning Godhead and Bor wasn't even married yet. The dwarves were still dwarves but already pro smiths. My incarnation, Fornax decided to stay with them as he already mastered the Cyclops art. The pantheons trip also increased my collections. From the Norse, I got the everlasting ice from witch Ymir was born and a strand of Eternal Fire. From the Aztecs, I got the most advanced spaceship from these times, ironically a pyramid. Each stop had its lots of recompense.

I then went to Saturn to meet the Eternal Titans led by Uranos and Kronos. That's where I found the first traces of Celestial. In less than 5000 years, I stealthily made a replica of the Machine. I named it Codex. It's still not up to date to the original but I will slowly improve it.

After that I visited and studied the different lifeforms of the Universe. In my trip, the jewel I added to collection was the Reality Gem. It greatly resonated with the white Gem in my soul. That made me conjecture on who the female voice belonged to and I started to plan.

At the end of my very long trip, I returned to Olympus. A new generation of God was born: Zeus, Aphrodite, Hecate… Just after returning I imprinted in their mind who was the boss and decided of the new development direction of Olympus. I wanted to create techno-magic. If in less than 2000 years of real civilisation humans could create things like Pym particles, Arc Reactor or Mystic Arts; I wanted to do infinitely better as Gods in millions years. The Kree that are already at the level of nuclear technology now and are still so so after a million years did dampen my hopes but better think optimistic. My goal was to reach the level of Celestial with my Cosmic Tech as I dubbed it.

Just as my Cosmic Tech showed great result, Mother called me because she decided to wipe out the dinosaurs and copy others civilisations Oshtur talked to her about but it infuriated Set. Anyway, she carried it out and decided on humans. Set created some Serpent Men looking a lot like those in Conan, the Adventurer. Plus some Celestials were coming. Set didn't interest me but I wanted to study a Celestial. I couldn't find the Progenitor as he merged with the Earth and all lives long ago. But those coming are mine.

The ones who came was was Zgreb the Aspirant and using Celestials Tech he found the remains of the Progenitor but what could kill one Celestial could kill one more. The Horde attacked him and I came just behind. When Zgreb was weakened I managed to capture him alive. It was great to see how powerful I became as I handled him without much difficulty.

I studied his body, his tech, his memory; he was a real wealth of informations. He died 10000 years in the experiments. But he revealed me enough secret from their creator, the First Firmament to their destructor, Knull that it revolutionized my powers. Also he carried with him the Space Stone that I presume Odin would have taken back to Asgard. There was also the Horde that proved greatly useful.

Soon after his unfortunate demise was detected by other Celestials and 11 of them appeared. I sneaked on them in the Andromeda Galaxy and an epic battle followed. I managed to kill two of them while the rest escaped with various extent of injuries. They will nurse themselves for some millions years. This versions of Earth would have to make do without Eternals, Deviants, X-gene and the like.

That battle made me notice one thing: cosmic beings didn't know how to fight me included. So on Sakkar, after cleaning it up I used Cosmic Tech and the Reality Gem to create a coliseum. Anyone weaker than or at the same level as me entering will have his power reduced or increased to a baseline strength level I decided (future Captain America level, works for magical powers as well). They would have a time to acclimate themselves with their.new strength before fighting. I wanted by this setting to hone my battle techniques against equal foes.

I got great result. In only five hundreds years, I could fight like a those animated Stickman from my previous life,.

Around those times, I noticed that a new being was about gestating in the Olympus dimension (Black Galaxy). I would have passed him by if not for my Cosmic Tech allowing me to detect it. It was the Blue Celestials. I decided to destroy its consciousness and make it my second clone. After destroying it consciousness I reinforced it with the Horde and Cosmic Tech which greatly shortened its gestation period.

My next study subject was the different cosmic forces; the Phoenix force being the first as one member of the period Avengers had it. In parallel, I started to actively search for the five remaining Infinity Gems. The first endeavors didn't show much results. I could interact with two cosmic forces the Phoenix force and Death. The first one required that I lower my mind protection to a level I didn't feel safe with. The other was a tad bit crazy. I didn't manage to became amortal after courting her a little. It could do any wrong anyway.

But in no time, I found the Power Gem and the Ego Gem. Still three to go. In the meantime, I started to study how she could put so much power in those fragile stones. That resulted in me creating some pale copies I propagated through the Universe.

Some times later, I detected the arrival of a new powerful pantheon on Earth, Heavens. God was more powerful than any current Godhead but was also greatly unlikable. Before they could install themselves correctly I quickly wiped them out to study their light corruption power. Also the Throne of Heaven was a great add to my collection.

I started to go through the Universe to hunt for powerful being like Galactus, the Collector and so on. I made the former one of my clones. But there was still some beings out of my league: the Living Tribunal, Eternity and his siblings, the Stranger, the Beyonder... I decided to take the problem from another angle.

I soon gathered the remaining three gems. In fact now that I think about my gem power should be to find and subdue the other gems. I wiped any consciousness they had developed and let them in a blank state. With the 8 gems assembled, I didn't immediately resurrect the first being I met coming to this multiverse: Nemesis. I first tuned the resulting conscious to my liking for some millennia. I wanted to make her my natural ally. Only after that did I took her back. "I said we would meet again, Other" she said upon awakening. It made me fear for a instant that my conditioning didn't work but soon enough my worries proved vain. She was the ideal companion I crafted for myself.

Spoiler: Nemesis

First of all, we corrected her lack of fighting ability and instincts by upgrading my Coliseum and training. After that, we tried to empower me as much as we could in this multiverse. Nemesis that only knew loneliness was delighted to meet so much different lives. We traveled to other realities of our multiverse to gather the six Infinity Stones, Nemesis would then dissolve their powers in me, my clones or incarnations. After that, it was the hunt for cosmic being. The first to fall was Knull who became my fourth avatar. I then developed using Cosmic Tech a mean of gaining the powers of those I kill. Tried it on Celestials with my Knull avatar and it worked fine even nullifying his weakness. I then decided on a glorious plan: I decided to rid this multiverse of any cosmic level being besides Nemesis and me. It took some careful planning but soon enough I was absorbing the Beyonder while Nemesis also grew even more powerful. My Olympus (Ego) avatar absorbed Super Ego, Alter Ego and the Stranger, becoming third ranked in power in our multiverse. I have so much incarnations now that it became sickening. I decided to fuse the ones with similar powers and roles. It made the remaining hundreds few more powerful.

My plan functioned. I managed to create a link to another multiverse through Olympus using Nemesis and mine's powers. We came to the Rick and Morty multiverse. We toured it for some millions of years while I integrated their nonsense technologies and powers into my Cosmic Tech. My Blue Avatar (Blue Celestial) studied the different species he encountered. Nemesis was just fine discovering new things.

Traveling to the DC multiverse we each gained parts of the 14 cosmic forces: Speed Force/Still Force, Emotional Spectrum/Invisible Spectrum, Life Force/Tear of Extinction, Sphere of the Gods/Void Wind, Dimensional Superstructure/Sixth Note, Collective Unconscious/Black Apple, Faithfulness/Faithlessness. It wasn't easy as we encountered many resistances from beings like the Presence but we pulled through.

After traveling many multiverse we came to a weird one who seemed to be a mismatch of many: DC, Fate, Overlord... I found my second partner there: Felicia Smoke. Tracking the story of this multiverse, I found out that it was created by a being called AntiNoob. He used it to put a being dubbed Carnage through trial but the latter lost all his powers, deeds and life to Felicia Smoke who was his partner in crime and twin sister of the original Felicity Smoak. I found her likeable and just decided to snatch her.

Spoiler: Felicia Smoke

Having toured a great number of multiverse without finding an end and becoming way too powerful I decided to return to my multiverse.

Time passed and my third partner ironically came from my descendants. A girl that always seek every things to change her weak mortal nature; Selene Gallio. She decided to sacrifice all of Roma souls to gain godlike power. I liked her daring and granted her wish. I followed her life from then on. Mutants not existing, she had way less clutches in her way to power. She became my third partner willingly just to get more power and I was fine with that.

Spoiler: Selene Gallio

Some millennia later, my Galactus avatar stumbled upon a crack in space from which he sensed great power. He started following its track and we soon joined him. That's how some time later we came to Apollo of the Fortniteverse. And I saw once more the first thing I had seen in my second shot at life: the zero point containing the potential of infinite creation and infinite destruction and it was to be mine.

While I was absorbing it, the ultimate reality attacked and let my avatars and incarnations go on rampage with my three partners.

Once I finished absorbing it, I heard once again the last voice I heard in my last life coming back like a nightmare:

"CONGRATULATIONS MORTAL, YOU PASSED THE FIRST STEP. WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD!"

This omniverse was created by the voice to just make me entertain him and I was still not too powerful.

THE END.​
