Interlude Part 4 Danny Chp 43

#DANNY POV#

"Lord Phantom, if I may be so bold, as to ask what are your plans?" Asks Clockwork as I look out into the Ghost Zone

"Nothing," I answer him honestly

There isn't anything that needs my attention ever since I became the new Ghost King

The Crown of Fire rests upon my head and the Ring of Rage is on my finger

Alone they already made me one of the strongest ghosts

But, thanks to the Fenton Armor improved by the Reality Gauntlet to such an extent, I could fight off an entire army of Dan Phantoms with just my armor alone

Using the Reality Gauntlet to bring into existence vials that would alter my Ghost Core to be the best possible it could be, and even then the rest of the vials were made by studying Vortex, Undergrowth, Nocturne, and Technus to give me their powers permanently

Giving me Weather Manipulation, Flora Manipulation, Dream Manipulation, and Technology Manipulation

Now even further empowered by the Enhanced Skeleton key through the Reality Gauntlet to unlock my potential

Adding everything in my possession makes me the strongest being in this reality

But, I didn't stop there, using the power and knowledge over the years of studying the Reality Gauntlet, has given me Reality Manipulation on a Galaxy Wide level, using the Reality Gauntlet, I possess Universal Reality Manipulation

With a mere thought, I can create life or destroy it

However, something of note entered my peripheral vision

Thanks to my new Cosmic senses

I have learned that there are Worlds out there that lie within my reach

"You are dismissed Clockwork, you have nothing to fear, and tell the Observants, that as long as I am left alone, I will leave them alone," I order him causing him to bow politely and leave

I close my eyes as I begin to focus on those other worlds

I smile as I see a ten-year-old boy with some...fairies capable of granting wishes

Continuing to see another world, I find a very smart child with an atom symbol on his shirt playing with his robot dog

I let out a small laugh as I saw a certain yellow sponge under the sea cooking burgers underwater

Gasping out in pain as my heart feels like it is going to explode as the pressure of peering into other worlds only using my own power takes its toll on me

I could see these worlds all I wanted using the power of my equipment, but to see them, using my own inherent power gives me a feeling of exhilaration that I haven't felt in a long time

My smile fades as I remember the Evil Dragon Ball which I have encased in a special cube connecting the present time and the end of this universe

If anything happens to me, the Evil Dragon Ball will thrown out into the void of non-existent

That thing is proof, that beyond the limits of this corner of creation, other worlds, realities beyond this one exist

Waiting

I have already cemented my power within this universe

Claimed ancient artifacts, that while nowhere near in power compared to my preferred equipment, are nice to possess either way

A mirror capable of seeing into the past, which I have since altered to with the Reality Gauntlet to also show the future

A chalice capable of turning normal water into a concoction capable of healing as long as someone is still 'alive' even restoring missing limbs, I altered it to be capable of healing and improving someone's physical condition to their utmost limit

Artifacts of such nature now lie within my own personal pocket dimension that only I have access to

I let out a small chuckle

I could have anything I want, riches, fame, women, but the one thing that I truly want

Happiness

"Lost in infinite power, I realize, just how alone I truly am," I begin to sing in a low

"My heart has been hollowed out, to face the world alone, I became more,"

"Alone I stand, forever more, to face the world alone," I finish my song letting out a small smile as I think of my ex, Ember Mclain

She was the one who got me into music

She broke up with me due to not being able to handle the sheer scope of what I was doing

Then again, freeing Pariah Dark from the Coffin of Foreversleep due to me wanting the Crown Of Fire, was a step too far

I still have feelings for her even after 2 years

It still hurts though

As I finish healing I activate all of my artifacts plus my armor and try to peer beyond the worlds I just saw

But, I stop as the further I look the more, I am pushed back until eventually, I stop

Sighing at yet another failure, I resign myself, to studying the other worlds

They are not necessarily bad in any meaningful way, but my opportunities to grow are severely limited in comparison

Aside from getting the powers to grant myself wishes which could probably increase my Reality Manipulation to even greater heights

I watch many different worlds until I find something rather...peculiar

A universe, one that for all intents and purposes was...camouflaged

In it, I saw a brown-haired green-eyed boy with a watch on his wrist with a green hourglass shape in it, and close to him were the...Justice League

Trying to peer into it gave me a sense of warning until all of my senses screamed danger as something, no someone noticed my peaking and began making its way over to my universe

Surprised I didn't do anything as someone broke into my universe

Someone powerful enough to nearly instantly travel across universes like this

I facepalmed as I saw someone angry before they took a look at me and their expression changed to pure terror as I stared at him

He began to try to flee but I instantly locked him in place

Stepping forward, I stared at him as I ripped open his mental defenses and found out what I wanted, and boy, what a shit storm I happened to find out about

Staring at the person in front of me I am disgusted with this person in front of me

"So, tell me, how does it feel to cease to exist?" I ask him as his eyes dart around and I have no doubt that if I myself wasn't suppressing him, he would have ripped this universe to pieces

"Oh, it won't matter anyway," I say as I rip the information from his mind as painfully as possible

This guy is part of a group that is separating different universes from different realities, and merging them to entertain themselves

They steal different items from other universes, and give them to someone they killed before reincarnating them

They appear to have very little power outside of the universes that they steal although their group has just started but, what interests me the most is that they appear to be looking for someone too

This guy, Andrew was incredibly lucky in kidnapping a Ben Tennyson and even luckier and escaping with his life after stealing a universe from DC

Placing Ben in the stolen universe for him to have time to study the Omnitrix, putting the entire universe in a time loop and changing things after he pressed the reset button

However, sometimes he would indulge himself in the DC universe that he stole

Committing acts that he deserves what I am doing to him

I use the Reality Gauntlet to send us to the end of time and I smile cruelly at him as the void begins to rip him to shreds

"All that power, all of that knowledge and you can't even handle this," I mock him as he trashes around before the void rips him from existence and I make sure to nullify any remaining influence that he tried to impose in my universe

Something in my gut is telling me that the Evil Dragon Ball has something to do with this, at least partially

For now, though, time to go over all of Andrews's memories about the rest of his group

The Plot thickens

Remember 5 chapters ahead on Patreon

patreon.com/DarkHelixDragoon

Also, in March, I am going to start a Patreon-exclusive fic

There are 3 options to choose from right now

The first is about a guy who is sent over to the DC universe, as the successor of Thor 616, but due to the MC being the last option for a successor, he is unworthy and as such will have to try and become worthy. Oh, and the Justice League hasn't formed yet when he arrives

The second is about a guy, who can reach into the TV only once and retrieve any item. The MC chooses the recalibrated Omnitrix from Ben 10 Alien Force. The issue with this one is that I am unsure which universe to send him to and if you guys choose this one please drop down some suggestions

The MC is going to get the Kaledeiscope, the Second True Magic, but he will have no idea how to use it at all. Also, he won't have much knowledge due to the setting that he will be born in the late 90s on his OG Earth, he will just know that he is going to other worlds due to the massive differences. To start with some form of power, he will have Magic Circuits. The first world will be Demon Slayer though. Also, magic won't be the primary focus for a while

Please send some power stones, comments, and reviews
