Omniscience in Marvel 42

Title - Returning Home.

…

"Two thousand years you say?" Leucadius asked incredulously as he snapped his eyes open to look at the Energy construct in front of him - Aspect.

"No. I'm saying that it will take more than two thousand years to recover your energy to its Peak if you do not go into your God-sleep." The Energy Construct, Aspect replied calmly.

"And if I go into God-sleep?" Leucadius asked and closed one of his eyes while using the other one to stare at Aspect.

"An estimate of eight hundred to one thousand years." Aspect replied.

"Huh? Now I'm genuinely confused. Not even my Intelligence can figure out how you came to that conclusion." Leucadius was startled, causing him to open his other eyes.

"Your Cosmic Energy or Holy Energy as you have chosen to call it is unique to you alone. Its development tree is unprecedented. Your Cosmic Energy Engine can only do so much in that regard." Aspect replied as a bunch of information was deposited into Leucadius' brain.

"Oh…I see." Leucadius said and lost interest. "But I won't be going into that Slumber. I still have a lot of things to do." He said and turned his attention to his surroundings. "I need a debrief."

"Understood."

(A/N: Aspect talks with"..." When he's physically present in his Energy Construct appearance, but he talks [...] When he's talking to Leucadius in any other state. Take note and don't be confused.)

And so, Aspect went on to describe with vivid detail consisting of audio and video recording of what happened the moment He had declared war against the Angels of the Tenth Realm - Heven.

From the recordings, Leucadius was able to determine something. The Angels were strong, incredibly strong and truly deserving of being the strongest race in the Ten Realms.

Physically, they could rival any of the Other races, the Aesir included, and that was impressive, considering that the Aesir were known to be the strongest, not to mention the Giants.

On that note, Leucadius understood that The Giants were just bigger than most normal sized people so their strength were pretty much normal considering their muscles, skin and bone mass

The Aesir on the other hand were descendants of an Actual Giant, Buri who was over 9 meters tall and weighed over a Ton. So their innate strength was understandable.

The Angels on the other hand, other than the mention of Oshtur in their records, there was no clues as to their origins. Of course there was also a record of Oshtur creating a race of feathered people so Leucadius wasn't so quick to judge.

Oshtur had indeed created the Bird-Men, a race of winged humanoids, to fight against the bestial and demonic races spawned by Set and Chthon.

…

Watching the battle between the Angels and his Hosts, Leucadius was truly in awe of their strength. They were so strong that if not for the fact that the Hosts could fight indefinitely by depending on his Holy Energy, they may have lost.

Not even the Homunculi created to have the physical strength and abilities of an Eternal could match up to them, but in the end, exhaustion caused them to lose.

The destruction to their precious City made of Topaz, amber and Gold for as far as the eyes could see was a massive factor to their despair. It was a good thing that there wasn't a single noncombatant life lost though.

The Seraphs made sure of that.

Leucadius could see them floating at the four corners of the Golden City with their Domain covering the entire Realm. It was another factor that led to their inevitable Defeat.

As for the people who picked up arms to fight against his Hosts, some had to unfortunately forfeit their life.

"Hmm, and the Baby?" Leucadius asked after watching the angel bend the knee in forfeit. Someone had eventually questioned why they were fighting against their own brethren considering the wings so…

"She has been put under Gabriel's protection for the meantime." Aspect replied.

"Oh? I assume Gabriel took a liking to her?"

"Negative. She merely felt the child should be watched over by someone capable." Aspect replied, causing Leucadius to freeze.

"Oh." was all he could say as Aspect continued giving him a brief down on the state of affairs in Heven.

"Heaven." Leucadius suddenly interrupted.

"Pardon."

"Heaven. Not Heven. Now, as my Realm, it will be known as Heaven." Leucadius intoned to which Aspect nodded in understanding before continuing his explanation with pictures and videos where and when necessary.

"I don't like gold. It's too sparkling and cliche." Leucadius suddenly said when Aspect pulled up the image of the Angels rebuilding Heaven. "Silver…It will be known as the Silver City in the Future." He said amusedly.

"Understood Sir." Aspect replied and asked. "Anything else I should take note of?"

"Hmm…The Angels…They will retain their names as Angels, my hosts though…Will be known as the Holy Ones." Leucadius said in between pauses.

"...I see. A fitting name considering they were Born from your energy." Aspect said, sounding almost proud of his creator.

"..." Leucadius could only smile silently at Aspect's reaction.

"Then sir, how about an afterlife?" Aspect asked, causing Leucadius to look at him in confusion.

"Huh? What has that got to do with me?" he asked

"You…Then…I understand." Aspect tried to say something but could not find the right way to say it so it just nodded and continued his report.

Leucadius on the other hand understood that there was indeed a need for an afterlife but he hadn't reached the level of power to create something like that.

To accomplish that, he had to have a certain level of Dominion over Death, and Death would not particularly take kindly to him if he did that. He couldn't also create a Realm like Valhalla since he doesn't have ancestors who have transcended death to create a Realm of their own after death.

The only thing he could do was take a page from the Olympian Gods note and directly take them into Heaven upon their death or just arrange their ascent into heaven with their physical body.

The problem then, was keeping them immortal…

'Meh. I will think about it when I see someone interesting amongst the humans.' Leucadius thought, directly throwing the idea out of his mind. "I will leave this Realm's development in your able hands then." He said.

"Pardon?" Aspect asked in what Leucadius classified as shock.

Smiling, he said "No need to feel shocked about it. You are basically me in more ways than one. I would like to visit Earth…Cain and Abel should have reached maturity."

"Pardon my choice of words sir, but that is a trait of an irresponsible individual." Aspect said which made Leucadius frown slightly.

"What part of that is irresponsible? It is a trait of a good leader." He corrected. "A leader must know how to hire certain personnel for particular projects. You just happened to be the most qualified personnel."

"..."

"Did I shock you into silence? Heh, as expected of me, right?" Leucadius hummed to himself with a nod of approval.

"Unfortunately, I was just shocked at your shamelessness." Aspect replied but Leucadius was too far gone to even listen to him.

"Have yourself integrated into this Realm entirely upon my return. Two thousand years is a lot of time for a lot of things to happen." Leucadius said, changing the topic.

"That can be done in less than a year sir." Aspect said, sounding annoyed? exasperated? Leucadius didn't know but he was sure the Sentient Intelligence was developing emotions.

"Alright then, I'm sure you'll still be connected to the Motherbox so also have the Holy Ones on standby in case I need their aid." Leucadius instructed.

"You'll need their aid?"

"Of course. How can a King such as myself lower myself to perform some menial acts?" Leucadius scoffed at his double. "Also, save for a few abilities, I'm powerless out there."

"The same could be said for the Holy Ones."

"Then have a few trustworthy Angels stay on standby. I hope their reformation is going well?"

"Yes. Their selfishness and material inclinations are being formatted from their subconscious minds." Aspect replied with an angry sigh. 'To think that beings that take on God's image could be so Worldly?' he thought in spite.

To Aspect, Leucadius was the perfect being. Abounding in all that was Good. If Leucadius probably destroyed the Universe, he would see it as a good thing…Probably.

Aspect had been with Leucadius since his birth, which was over two hundred years now and counting, and as far as it could tell, other than being narcissistic and shameless at times, Leucadius was Good in the very sense of the world.

"Alright, I will be on my way then." Leucadius said, breaking Aspect's train of thought, and without waiting for Aspect to do the needful, Leucadius controlled the Motherbox to open a portal that will bring him directly to The Family of Four.

As for Aspect, he quickly went back to praising his Master, Creator And Father while also making sure to go about the work left to him. He might not have shown it, but he was rather proud of the level of trust Leucadius gave him.

As someone touched by the Mind Stone, Logic and Emotions were things he could interpret in less than a femtosecond, so he could also feel Leucadius' level of trust in him.

Logically, he concluded that 97 percent of people in Leucadius' shoes would immediately begin creating countermeasures in the off-chance that he went rogue. Leucadius on the other hand didn't even have it cross his mind.

Of Course, it wasn't because Leucadius wasn't afraid of it happening. Surely, he wasn't afraid, but haven been born from His Skill; Absolute Intelligence, he knew that Leucadius simply had the confidence that should he go rogue, he, Leucadius would still come out as the winner.

That Level of Confidence added to the list of things that made Leucadius the most Absolute being in his eyes.

…

Elsewhere.

Leucadius' Portal deposited him in the skies right above the land Adam and Eve had made their own. Should they maintain these land for eras, they would probably never lack due to the level and size of the land.

Adam and Eve along with their Children Cain and Abel were peak level Humans. They could probably work for a week straight without feeling fatigued so they didn't really lack in any manner or form.

As he watched them go about their days, a familiar energy fluctuation alerted him to the arrival of a certain Goddess, causing him to smile.

"You're here." He said and turned to her. "It's been a while."

"It sure has. But to think you'll visit these Humans before saying hello to your mother." The woman said as she crossed her hands across her chest with a playful frown.

"Surely you'll understand." Leucadius smiled. "Compared to an old hag such as yourself, my children take precedence."

Gaea's eyes shot open in disbelief. "You…"

"Hahahaha. You should see your expression right now." He laughed loudly while pointing at the pink faced Gaea who had realized he was just messing with her. "It's been a while mother."

"Humph." She snorted and looked away. "I felt the waves of your energy running rampant out there…" she said hesitantly.

"Are you…. worried about me?"

"Heh, don't think too highly of yourself." The goddess snorted, but the look of worry in her eyes didn't diminish.

"You are truly something, woman. But not to worry. Everything is alright. I wouldn't be here if I was in a bad state, would I?" Leucadius asked.

"You feel weak." Gaea facepalm.

"Of course, evidence that I had the time of my life out there." Leucadius said with a proud smile.

"Tell me about it."

"Sure…" Leucadius said and began regaling his tale since he left the Planet with Oshtur, his visit to the Heliopolis, his summoning to the Court of the living tribunal, his battle against Odin and finally, his claiming of a new dimension.

"Wow…" was all Gaea could say, but Leucadius could feel that although she was impressed, she wasn't all that impressed. She was an Elder God for crying out loud. One who had lived for over 4 billion years. What hasn't she seen?

"So you came here to seek my protection?" Gaea asked, her expression smug.

"That's no-"

"Don't worry. As someone I see as my own child, no manner of harm will befall you as long as you are on Earth." Gaea continued and Leucadius was wise enough to know when to just smile and nod.

"You have my thanks." He said with a smile and turned to the family of four. Gaea noticed this and said. "They've shown to be quite the specimen. In comparison to the other humans, there is…a whole mountain level of discrepancy between them."

She paused for a while before she continued. "Be it physically or mentally, they are top notch."

"Of course, who do you think created them? I am their father and you are their mother. It is obvious that they'd be better than the rest."

Gaea facepalmed once again and said. "The other humans are also my Children."

Leucadius nodded and turned to look at her. This action caused Gaea to immediately have a bad feeling about the situation. "Considering the fact that I am their father…"

"Die!" Gaea didn't let him finish and shot an Energy beam at him, one which he managed to dodge on time while still smiling at Gaea.

"Violence is not always the answer, woman." he said snidely.

"Look who's talking." Gaea snorted. "But you better not complete that sentence."

"What sentence? The one where I was about to say I am superior to you in terms of Genes?"

"AHH!" Gaea screamed angrily causing the weather around them to abruptly change.

"Hey. Hey. Deep breaths woman. For goodness sake, you're an old hag. Act like one." Leucadius said placatingly, but instead of having the desired effect, it only served to anger her the more.

However, Gaea wasn't really angry, she was only putting on airs. It had been some time since she had someone to chat with and Leucadius was the only person she could be this free with.

The others all saw her as some Venerable ancestor, one they could possibly blaspheme against.

Taking a deep breath, the weather returned to its previous calm and sunny day. This change caused the family to have weird looks on their face.

"Is that perhaps…Father?" Adam asked his wife. The two looked as though they hadn't aged a single day despite so many decades passing.

"Could be…" Eve answered unsurely with a bit of worry. Since their banishment from the Garden, their father rarely talked to her. Whenever he visited, it was always Adam he conversed with.

At a point, she concluded that he must still be angry at her for her disobedience. When she birthed Cain and Abel, she had felt a level of pain she hadn't felt since she came into existence.

That further solidified her conviction that their Father was angry with her. She had hoped that he wouldn't direct his anger to her children, but that worry was unfounded as he loved them pretty much.

It was to the extent that when he visited at times, he didn't even regard them both and went straight to the kids, but suddenly, he stopped visiting.

When he didn't visit, she had also thought it was her fault. She felt she had deprived her husband and children the love and attention they should have had from him, so seeing the unexplainable weather condition, her worries immediately increased.

"Hey." Adam's hand softly touched her shoulder causing her to turn to him. As she did, she was met with Adam's soft and caring eyes. His smile was so resplendent that she almost lost herself in it. "It's alright. I may not know father all too well, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't blame you."

"But…"

"Eve…Trust me." Adam interrupted her before pulling her into a hug. "It's alright. I'm sure he'll be visiting soon anyways."

"How do you know that? He hasn't visited in so long." Eve asked

"Hehe." Adam giggled and looked up to the sky. "I just know."

…

Leucadius who had just finished teasing Gaea coincidentally looked down at Adam at that exact moment, causing their eyes to meet, but while Leucadius could see Adam, Adam couldn't see Leucadius.

A/N: I am Sorry I couldn't post any chapter these past two days. I had some issues with my Patreon account. The issue is resolved though and I'm back.

I'll try writing one more chapter today but don't get your hopes up. Other than that…Please, please and please, to my religiously inclined brothers and sisters if any…do not take any offense to what I write.

We all have our own imaginations on how the stories were depicted. So this is mine. Do not judge.
