Infinity War blade and goddess of life Hela(chapter 137)
prevoiusly in chapter 136
"Well, this was something," Henry thought as he then watched the good Doctor Strange step out of the Sanctum in New York, only to see reality breaking down. Of course, Henry already felt the destruction of the universe. "A temporal paradox that would end this universe—well, to me, it already has. But I thought just my presence should have nullified that paradox. Then again, I'm not involving myself here," he noted to himself as he and Uatu watched the whole thing unfold. They watched the fight between the two Stranges, which the true Strange won. They even watched the iconic scene of the world caving in on Strange Supreme as he cast energy from his hands to try to stop the world from collapsing. But of course, he wasn't strong enough. "But I will be," Henry thought to himself as he left, much to Uatu's relief.

Chapter 137
He traveled through time and space, arriving at the Garden—the planet where Thanos would retire after wiping out half of the universe. But just as he arrived, with all the Infinity Stones, the gauntlet vanished from his hand. The same happened to 100 different Thanoses at the same instant. This was, of course, the result of Henry stealing the gauntlet. Why would he do that? Well, simple—his ultimate weapon, which he plans to use 100 Power Stones to make, and Alchum. Although the Alchum inherited the power of the Power Stone, the forging took some time. But when the blade was finally forged, Henry held a purple sword in his hand as the adult Alchemical Henry looked at it. They both had the same expression. "Well, shit," the Alchemical Henry chuckled. "This is nuts."
[ Name: Infinity Warblade ]
[ Grade: 8th (Pinnacle) ]
[ Description: The Infinity Warblade is an incomprehensibly powerful weapon forged from an indestructible version of the Alchum metal and infused with the endless power energy extracted from hundreds of Power Infinity Stones. The blade itself is purple, glowing with an otherworldly aura, pulsating with energy that warps reality itself.]
[ Effects: The Infinity Warblade can emit cosmic energy waves that annihilate everything in their path, from planets to stars. With each swing, the blade generates shockwaves that can destroy entire star systems. The blade can cut through time. It can cut through the barriers of space, enabling the wielder to teleport across vast distances or open rifts to other dimensions. The Warblade is bonded to the wielder's soul, granting them unparalleled control over its immense power and ensuring it cannot be used by anyone else.]

"This thing can even kill a Celestial," Alchemical Henry said as Henry reread the description of the weapon. "With this, we can proceed with the harvesting plans," Henry said as Alchemical Henry looked at him. "But we're talking about millions of planets," however, Alchemical Henry's question was just him questioning himself. He sighed before leaving for a random universe, without looking at the future or knowing where he was going. However, the universe he landed in was ancient Asia, specifically the Mandarin time, the wielder of the Ten Rings, the father of Shang-Chi. For fun, Henry took the rings and killed Xu Wenwu along with his army. However, just as he took the rings, something was heading for him—a meteor. But once it landed in front of his feet, Henry saw it.
"Oh, isn't this a pleasant surprise," he thought as he picked up a helmet, the same helmet he had seen in his vision being worn by one of his favorite people. As rain started to pour, he saw someone walking toward him—a tall woman with dark hair and dark eyes with dark green attire. He knew who she was. Oh, he knew all too well as he picked up the helmet. The woman was, of course, Hela, who looked around at the bloodbath and said, "Now this, this is a spectacle," with delight. "Hand that over to me, mortal warrior," but Henry only smiled as he said, "Alright then, Goddess of Death, take it from me," which surprised Hela as she said, "You know who I am?" To which Henry replied, "Hela, firstborn of Odin, and his executioner, whom he cast out after she grew far too powerful for his liking, so he found an excuse." This time, however, Hela was shocked, beyond shocked, as he seemed to know her all too well.
"Who are you?" she asked, this time a bit on guard as Henry sighed before looking up, letting the water drip down his face as he allowed the eternal nanite armor to leave his body. "I am someone who wishes to cage the beginning of the universe," he said, which shocked Hela for a moment before she burst into laughter. "Oh, you fully have my interest now, mortal. I find you intriguing," she said as she approached him. Henry then chuckled softly as he said, "I am not mortal," although the rain seemed to drown his voice.
Hela asked, "What?" Henry then took out the Infinity Warblade, causing Hela to take a couple of steps back. He lightly touched his head with the blade, obliterating it, but to Hela's shock, his head grew back. "I can't die," he said to Hela as he made the Infinity Warblade disappear, then handed her helmet, which she couldn't even lift.
"Agh, what?" she exclaimed as Henry chuckled.
"Yeah, Odin put a restriction on it, making it so that only those who know mercy can wield it," he said, further irritating Hela. "Great, that old fool," she muttered, to which Henry chuckled again. "Yeah, he is. He did the same to your younger brother, Thor, the God of Thunder." As Henry continued to walk away, Hela looked at her helmet before walking after him.
"Oh, so the old fool has more children. Delightful. Say, who are you?" she asked, continuing, "You seem to know me, know events just as they happened, and even know the future." Henry then sat on a boulder, looking at the moon as he said, "I am known as Henry, or the Alchemist," which surprised Hela once again. "You make potions?" she asked, causing Henry to chuckle."Yeah, a potion brought me to my current strength, where time, space, and reality are nothing to me," he said as Hela looked back at her crown. "Say, are you able to undo whatever enchantments my father placed upon it?" she asked. Henry responded, "I don't do anything for free, nor does the universe. What can you offer me?"
Hela smiled mysteriously before approaching Henry and wrapping her hand around his neck. "How about you cage the Big Bang, and I cage the cosmos, for you, for us?" she proposed, which made Henry chuckle as he looked up at her. They both faced each other. "Well, I am bored," he said, making her chuckle. "Well, you are a confident one, aren't you? But then again, given your power, I can understand why," she said as she kissed him, lightly and reluctantly, which only further made Henry chuckle. "Well, I gotta say, though, I do like a woman who is willing to do whatever it takes to gain power."
"Don't we all?" she replied with a light scoff, but before she could react, Henry held her head with his thumb on her third eye as he said with a serious tone, "But I love a woman who actually earns their power with their own two hands." He then gave her memories—memories of the life she would have, from her banishment to facing Xu Wenwu with the Ten Rings, to her capture and eventual escape into the pocket dimension Ta Lo. The vision stopped as he let her go, gasping for breath. "Was... that a vision of the future?" she asked as Henry said, "Earn it," before rewinding time right in front of her eyes, resurrecting Xu Wenwu and his army, and giving him the Ten Rings, before he vanished.
"Wait, don't leave!" Hela yelled as she ran after Henry, but it was futile; he had already left. That's when she realized Wenwu's army surrounded her. She groaned, "Not this again," before fighting a couple of Wenwu's men, getting knocked out and captured. She was then taken to Ta Lo, where she was trained. When Odin found out that Heimdall couldn't see Hela's whereabouts and that Wenwu possessed the Ten Rings, Odin invaded, attacking Wenwu and his city. When he was winning, Hela came, and together they fought, until Hela and wenwu defeated odin, and instead of killing him, hela spared him, learned mercy and became the Merciful Hela.
When she did, she flew to where she had initially landed, and as she expected, Henry was there, staring into the sun. "I expected you would be here," she said as she floated beside him, not quite sitting down. "Hmm, Merciful Hela—that doesn't have a nice ring to it," he said in a low voice as Hela frowned slightly. "You are disappointed, why?" she asked as Henry turned around, looking at her. "You can't be disappointed if you never expected anything," he said before sighing as he stood up.
"I am powerful now. I am the goddess of life and death," she said, like it was something to be proud of. Henry looked at her before chuckling. "Ignorance is bliss, really. You have no idea of the horror beyond this measly universe," he said, following up with, "Go, with your little Wenwu, save world after world, planet after planet. I knew Morgan was superior anyway," before leaving a stunned Hela. "Who the hell is Morgan?" she asked, but no one answered her as Henry left for the next universe.

A/N: Yeah, I'm sticking to it—Morgan le Fay is better. Although she still hasn't appeared in my fanfic (maybe it's destiny, and definitely not because I forgot the promised love arc of this story). Seriously though, I had exams, so let it slide. I promise to include the love arc in my next fanfic, which is 93.5675% likely to be a Harry Potter fanfic, without the mistakes I made in this one. Anyway, rain the stones down on me (and don't make it sexual).
PS: Never mind, I did write a romance into the latest chapter (don't judge me, I wrote this a couple of weeks ago, and I have the memory of a goldfish, plus I'm constantly writing 3-6 fanfics at the same time). Anyway, the partner in crime of Henry is..(hint: she is extra broken).
