269. STRIP!

Thanks to Satan, Hector was able to close the tear in space in front of him. But he was worried about one of them opening up somewhere he could not see. After all, even with the infinity stones, he could not look at the whole Universe at all times everywhere. That would be Omniscience, but that was the ability of the true gods.

And thankfully, he was friends with some of them, so he decided to ask them for help. It was mainly beings such as Galactus and even the Living Tribunal, whom he had reinstated as the balancing authority of the Universe.

"Peter, take Cosmo and Moony back to Earth. I have someone to meet. It's a matter of the fate of the Universe." He ordered.

"Woof!"

"No, Moony. You stay with Cosmo and help her settle back on Earth. Cosmo, help Moony translate his barks to my wife." But I will likely return before you reach home."

"Where will you be going?" Gamora asked.

Hector smirked. "To one golden boy."

...

Hector arrived in front of the Living Tribunal.

"I warned you."

Hector nodded. "Yes, but I have no regrets. What is happening is not because of my decisions but because of my existence, which won't be a problem soon enough. But, until then, I need your help to ensure this reality does not collapse."

"That is not my duty, outsider. To help you is to go against my own rules, against fate. Helping you will only doom the reality and destroy it faster." The Living Tribunal replied.

Hector sighed and thought about his next step. "Then what if I use some other omniscient entity? Or... let's say I subjugate a group of omnipotent beings and make them work for me?"

"The Celestials? If you take them over, then the deviants will be free. If you must, take them both and make them work. Only then shall the balance remain, for equal opposites nullify. I shall tell you their names, roles, and locations."

Hector didn't waste a moment, knowing that even the Living Tribunal probably wished to get rid of Deviants and Celestials because they, too, didn't hold him in high regard. "Thanks for the chat. By the way, I left you a gift."

*SNAP!*

As Hector left, where he stood, appeared in giant purple underwear for the Living Tribunal with a sticky note saying. "Be happy I ain't FBI!"

...

Hector arrived in an unknown region of the Universe in search of one big guy named Arishem, the Judge.

It was indeed a big guy, as big as Galactus, but perhaps more powerful in some cases.

He was the one credited for creating the first Sun and bringing light to the Universe. Millions of years ago, Arishem created the Deviants in order to aid in Celestial births, but when his creations went rogue, the Judge created the race of Eternals using the World Forge, in order to combat the Deviants, who were interfering in his work.

So, in simple words, he was the perfect example of dropping an ax on one's own foot. In this case, the ax was the deviants.

Since he was in a hurry, he did not stop himself from using the infinity stones. He was not a man who would fight a being just for the sake of manliness.

He made the big celestial kneel in front of him as he watched it with his piercing gray eyes. "Arishem, you fool. Playing with the Universe just to erase his own mistakes."

"What do you want, outsider!"

~So he knows about me? This is even better then. No need to explain.~

"This universe is collapsing, and I wish to subjugate you, all celestials and deviants, to work for me. Become my watchdogs and look out for any tears in the Universe. Deny, and I shall erase you." He threatened as he knew that these beings would survive even if the Universe was destroyed.

"We do not kneel!" Arishem bellowed.

"You already are!" Hector replied, as dumb as it sounded. "I am not giving you a choice, obey or die, as simple as that."

"Then I choose not to!"

"Fine."

Hector flew fast, as much the stones could make him go, and went right through Arishem's chest, making a big deep hole in it. Soon, the lights on the being's head also vanished, as death struck him.

But Hector never took any chances and destroyed the body as well, as he didn't want more Knowhere.

"Well, off to the next Celestial then."

...

Earth, South Dakota.

Ajak was the original Prime Eternal, as well as the wise and spiritual leader of the community of genetically engineered Eternals who came to Earth. Created by the Celestials in the World Forge, Ajak was sent to Earth in 5000 BC to progress the planet's societal development, and protect it from the deviants.

She was the medium through which Arishem commanded her and her team. It was a grand plan to protect and help evolve sentient life forms from the deviants, powering a celestial seed inside the planet, which would absorb the energy made from the sentient lifeforms.

In the end, a new celestial would be born from the ashes of the dead planet and its people.

However, something absurd happened, and Ajak felt her connection with the higher supreme beings break.

She was sleeping when it happened, and it scared her. Not only that, she felt something happening to her mind as she felt memories of millions of years returning to her mind.

Planets after planets, she had helped the celestials to make more celestials. She was never the savior. All thousands of years of work was done in servitude rather than worship.

"We-we did it so many times? So many lives lost?"

...

Back in space.

"Ashema the Listener, bend the knee or die!"

*BOOM!"

"Devron the Experimenter, obey or perish."

*BOOM!*

"Exitar the Executioner, kneel to me and live."

*BOOM!*

Hector met 40 different Celestials, and he ended up killing each one of them in the same fashion. His actions did not go unnoticed by the powerful beings of the Universe. Even some nonpowerful ones found out about his killing spree.

In the end, he had to go to Galactus to tell him to take the role of watching over the Universe, along with some of Galactus' siblings. He told Lady Death the same.

In the end, after his fruitless massacre, he returned to Earth. But instead of heading home, he decided to kill all the deviants first.

It was a long day, longer than he had planned, but it was something that needed to be done.

...

White House

"Old man will start a war if he goes through this plan. There is no way Russia will sit silently with this." President Fury looked at the proposal from Hector.

"Sir, it's not like the world is moving forward. If he can guarantee these nations his protection, then I think we have a big chance of us succeeding." Agent Hill added.

Bzzzz!

"God damn, where did this fly come from?"

*BEEP BEEP*

"Intruder detected!"

"Intruder Detected! Initiating lockdown!"

All of a sudden, all air vents and doors of the Oval Office closed down and locked the room.

Fury quickly took out his gun from the drawer, while Agent Hill had one hidden under her skirt, around her thigh.

"Who is it? Which motherfucking superpowered fucker wants to mess with me now? I have enough on my table already! Whoever you are, show yourself, and I will consider letting you live. Otherwise, I will let old man President Washington deal with you."

*WOOSH!*

The threats work. "Don't! Don't call him! He's terrifying, honestly. I'm Scott Lang. I'm not a criminal, I promise."

"Agent Hill!"

Before the man in a strange suit could react, Agent Hill threw her gun at the man's head and dropped him unconscious. "What do we do with him, sir?"

"Strip!"
