Ch.136

The Jaffa sent people to learn on all matters and they were welcomed. The invitation was sent to all worlds and peoples of the Milky Way including the Oannes and other non human looking races like the Reetou. They were visible when they came and allowed as much access as anyone. They and the Tok'ra stayed away from each other while they studied and learned.

Egeria brought her best and brightest, even coming herself to learn. Smugglers, thieves and all sorts came to learn from the famed city of the ancients. They all found their technology unable to download information from the databases. I told them when they mentioned it that the city is for those willing to learn, not broker information or abuse it to lord it over others.

For that matter poor and tired former slaves came hoping to use the knowledge they gain for bettering the lives of their people. They were all warned against fighting in every language so there was no mistakes. Food, rooms and accommodations for everyone was provided and yet I had to break up several fights and send the idiots home, banned from returning for life.

Hearing this the rest learned to keep their issues to themselves. All the labs were capable of relaying information in various languages while those learning subjects were encouraged to do so by working together or sharing the information as it would be explained in great detail before the screens continued. They found the power room, my quarters and other areas off limits with sealed doors.

Some thieves tried to steal a jumper and ended up stuck on the mainland during a hurricane. Their people picked them up by ship or what was left of them. It was enough to sober up any would be thieves. Still, I removed temptation of all forms of jumpers and bolted down the consoles so there was nothing to steal without damaging something which I'd be alerted to.

Some idiots tried to smuggle weapons and were sent back through the gate before the incoming wormhole could shut off when they threatened me saying they'd be taking the city. A week passed before Sam came out of the bed and she wasn't the same. She didn't look at me the same anymore knowing all I'd seen and done. She said I wasn't who she thought I was and I asked if that was a good or a bad thing.

She said she didn't know before heading to earth. I didn't comment and only waited, being asked for help when another prior was causing trouble at a small mining camp. I arrived as a sickness passed over the camp and beamed down with the vaccine, passing it to the SGC members to pass on. I told Sam. "It's a variant on the plague they gave Amara to kill the others and cause their fleeing to the Pegasus galaxy. This vaccine will cure it and all variants produced by it as it mutates with the plague to fight it until the plague burns out. All of you should get vaccinated and pass them on to all worlds."

She nodded before starting to say something and stopping. In the end she told me that she still loved me, but that she couldn't fully comprehend me nor understand that one day I may ask her to be immortal and joins me whenever I leave. I asked if it were so bad and she said it drove me crazy and I did things it took centuries and millennia to recover from.

She sighed. "I can't live my life knowing I'd be the cause of more pain and I won't let you destroy yourself for centuries or longer when I eventually die."

She apologized and handed me back her wedding ring. Pain lanced through me but I was used to it so I stowed my shit and walked away. I beamed down enough vaccines to help the couple hundred people on the mining planet. I passed it to every planet I knew with messages of what it did so the Ori couldn't kill them so easily if they refused.

I stopped by Abydos on my way to earth and found them all dead via the plague. I roared in pain and rage, letting it all out as the atmosphere cracked with lightning and a massive storm brewed. A message was left to me in ancient on a burned body that simply read this was the Ori's response. I buried each of them in the underground city before I ascended.

I put a away the ship and went to the others who were content to do nothing even if it worried them. I left and watched as weeks went by before the Priors tried to make a super gate beachhead to bring their ships over. When Sam and the team were talking to the Prior, I appeared. "It's not going to work you know. Your Ori are no more all knowing than I am."

Mitchell asked how I was breathing and I touched the DHD as my hand passed through. Daniel spoke. "He's ascended."

I nodded. "And this time is the last time. I will not take human form again."

Sam flinched and I turned to the Prior and told him. "Your leaders are listening I'm sure, but it matters not. I no longer follow the rules of the others like the Ori and I certainly don't think myself a jackass, I mean a god. Funny how often those two words can describe the same person isn't it?"

I walked up to the prior and asked. "Do you fear me?"

He shook his head. "You will not-"

He choked and fell to his knees while I sighed. "You should be careful when telling someone more powerful than you what they will and won't do. See, as I was saying I follow no rules now. Do you hear that?"

I released him and he shook his head. I smiled. "That's the sound of the ancients backing away slowly because they know something your precious Ori are about to learn. See, you priors decimated a kind and caring people who did no wrong. They were good people, pure and giving to those in need and you snuffed the light out of them."

I made him float up and face me at eye level as I stood. "All this you did by the orders of fools who thought they could strike at me without repercussions. So to those of you who are listening, gather your armies, build your ships, empower your people, because when I arrive in your galaxy and I am heading there, I will lay waste to every living planet, every corrupted soul you feed on. I will leave you with no power to suck on before I come for you personally. Then I will spend a great deal of time tearing you all apart piece by screaming piece and no ancients, no weapons nor any armies will stand in my way."

I growled as the four limbs of the prior were ripped off as he screamed. "What you failed to understand you little fools, I'd that I can and will slaughter every one of you fuckers and I'm coming for you once I torture and mutilate all your followers in this galaxy."

The next thing that happened was the prior being, puréed alive, is the only words that could describe what I did to him before I let him die. I turned to Sam and the others. "Abydos is decimated. I went there headed to earth with the cure but I destroyed the last of it in my rage when I lashed out and ascended. All those good people including Skaara and Sha're are dead, unable to ascend because they were specifically burned alive because they meant something to us."

I turned to Mitchell. "The shield feeds on energy. The hatak attacks and the staff blasts before it. Leave it alone and it'll run out while the stargate is connected to a black hole. Take the bomb and leave, tell the Jaffa to do the same. If they attack it'll spread and condense the planet into a singularity before they use it to create and power a super gate to allow their fleet to come through. Now if you'll excuse me I have priors to hunt, maim and kill before I wipe out a galaxy of assholes and fools."

Daniel asked. "Can you not?"

I raised an eyebrow and he said the people there are innocent and without the Ori they'll stop or they can be stopped so if I can stop them without killing all the innocent people that it would be great. He then went on to include the priors as they may be unwitting pawns. I grunted. "They are pawns and you know what, I don't care. I'm going to vaporize them and their gods so they can pray to the dead when I'm done only they'll be amongst them."

Daniel spoke to me frustrated. "No one has lost more than I have on Abydos, not even you, but mass murder makes you now better than them."

I shook my head. "You don't get it Daniel. I'm not better than them, I'm worse than they ever were. I was simply content to set that behind me. Well guess what, they picked this war and I've never lost a war yet because I am the best there ever was at one thing, killing. In this excel beyond Jaffa, goa'uld, the Ori and even the wraith. I didn't want this war, I just wanted to be left alone. You and your damned curiosity started this war and someone has to do what no one else can or will. I owe them agony, death and destruction. Why in all of creation should I not just kill them all and be done with it?"

Sam spoke. "For me. Just stop. Don't do this. You know you won't stay sane or recover for eons if you do this. Stop, for me."

I closed my eyes and slammed the prior's staff down, shattering the shield and shutting down the gate. I threw it to Sam's feet and told her. "That's the last time you ask me to do something. This is goodbye Sam."

I held up a hand and altered her DNA before telling her. "The city ship is yours. It has no ships but the priors are everywhere. They've infected Atlantis with the virus and only Faora is immune. They've sped up a disease in the Asgard that will cause rapid cellular degredation. In a few years they'll be wiped out as well and the Nox have either ascended or fallen with the Tollan, Orbanians and several other worlds you once called friends."

I turned to Daniel. "Abydos was only the last straw, but it was hardly the only reason I'd decided to wipe them out. They're systematically erasing all the races that can help put up a fight while we were distracted. That was the secondary objective of the priors. Good luck all of you, you'll need it."

I left and began helping a great many ascend. I watched as Orlin descend to help them and when it worked, earth was safe, I watched him face the prior and the prior died while I helped Orlin ascend right then and there as he said my name so there was no mistake. The others had refused to help him knowing he'd be left with nothing for his sacrifice, no more than an idiot child.

He descended now a full adult at my behest because I knew Sam liked him and she'd never join me. His glowing form became a man that looked eerily like me only shorter. He gave them a message from me, to seek out the Camelot and Moros in his human form so that they may use the weapon he has to kill the ascended Ori or the ascended here. The choice was up to them on that front.

He gave them a personal message, that I would be leaving this reality. To that end he gave them the shrunken mirror and a ZPM saying they'd need it soon enough as my last gift. Finally he told Sam my message: Goodbye my heart, may we meet again in another life because I will look for you in the eyes and hearts of the people I meet from now until the end of all time.

Sam got the message, I was leaving and there was no changing that now. To that end I sat with the others and asked Janus if he'd join me. He said he could not so I recommended he seek out Destiny and learn all it had to offer before sharing all my knowledge and memories with him. I touched his cheek and told him I'd miss him as well regardless of how things turned out the last we'd met.

I closed my eyes and took in more and more magic, fusing it with my soul and essence. Before I'd exploded because I'd fused it with my body and contained it with Uru. Now I knew my mistake and how to draw in power and knowledge like a vacuum. I took the information I'd stored from all the replicators and all the bots I sent cloaked across many galaxies to replicate and learn without harming others my knowledge and understanding grew to unfathomable heights as I ascended farther beyond the others to a plane beyond their comprehension.

There I sat alone looking down on the universe as a whole, taking it all in. Then it clicked, the memories I'd lost before when I'd come to the Marvel universe, how I'd survived to get there, everything. I was Oz Raymond, no fancy shortened names or anything before world war three had started and the world went to shit. More importantly, the life I'd led before that one, as the Titan god Prometheus, is the reason I was so enamored with helping humans.

I'd been freed of my burdens and curse by Zeus for saving Olympus from the Titan monster Typhoon, saving Zeus's life personally while trying to save the human village that was being destroyed below. Zeus had freed me and warned me curses weren't broken so easily so I may find myself dying and coming back, but he granted my request and made me mortal nonetheless, lifting my curse as best he and the Olympians could.

I understood as I looked out over this universe that I'd triggered a form of my curse when the Phoenix increase the power of my healing abilities. No matter what form I take, no matter what life I lead, I will always be partially cursed and part Titan god. Not even the Olympians could change my base essence, only shove me in a mortal shell. I was the Titan of fire and mankind and while I'd thought I lost the fire, it burned in me driving me to help the humans where I could.

I appeared in galaxies and sent cloaked bots to all the worlds to gather information, all of it or simply wait watch and understand. Galaxy to galaxy, worlds to worlds, all over the universe I sent the bots with simple programming, wait, watch do no harm and gather knowledge. Billions and trillions of galaxies until there were cloaked bots hidden on every single planet and moon or asteroid belt.

They were advanced beyond the Asurans yet with simple programming. Not even the pitiful ascended could see them or me. I sat in meditation and took it all in, learning every byte of knowledge the universe had to offer. Every race advanced or not shared said knowledge unknowingly.

When it was done and I knew everything, I could predict the outcome of every possible even until the end of time for that reality. With knowledge came boredom as knowing everything, being omnipotent, wasn't glamorous or even a power rush for me. It was simply a state of being and I was bored because of it.

On the bright side it helped me finish my mark to ZPM and start on the mark three after I visited every reality in this multiverse cluster, doing the same thing over and over again. When I finished, I found the background noise, the supposed God, was energy that had gained sentience just before it had exploded into creation all of the multiverse cluster. Poor thing was like a seed of wonder only the moment it wondered it exploded.

I appeared in the reality I'd started on the Daedalus ship that was hopping realities some years later and sent the bodies back to their reality alive before I fixed the ship and took it. The new Atlantis expedition after the fall of the Ancients due to the Ori plague had almost reached the ship, but I took it and left. The Asgard were dead, the Ori were dead, the Ancients, Nox, Tollan, Orbanians and many many Jaffa worlds, all wiped out.

Sam was the Colonel in charge of the Atlantis expedition as she was now an Ancient as they found out and the only one who could activate and control Atlantis or Sanctuary. Faora had ascended and helped the others to do so to avoid their fate when she could not cure them in time. So the humans had inherited everything from everyone. There was powerful contention between them, but the Asgard declared them the fifth race and bestowed to them all their knowledge and understanding.

Earth's people learned of the stargates and all that had happened, uniting while the religious groups grew steady in their belief when it was made known that even the Ancients had found possible proof of God. They awaited with baited breath and insisted Destiny be sought out ironically to determine whose God it was. As the last of the Ancients, only Sam and Orlin remained, running the two great meccas of knowledge.

People came from all over the Milky Way to learn the secrets of the Ancients so Orlin stayed and maintained my legacy, sharing knowledge and wisdom freely and making them learn, understand and adapt the knowledge they learned over time as peoples of all worlds were allowed to come and go peacefully. My second suit worked for him and at times it kept the peace in his stead.

Earth spread out to the stars taking over and building infrastructure on planets all over the Milky Way, Ida and Pegasus galaxies. The remainder of the Priors and Ori armies had returned to their galaxy and shut down the super gates for good. Life went on as they say and earth rapidly became the most advanced civilization to inhabit the stars, adopting the laws of the Ancients fully so that no more secrets could be hidden and no more lies as they United under one banner, Avalon, the name the Ancients gave earth long ago.

They became Avalonians or the people of Avalon and yeah, it was dumb, but they liked it because it felt right. There were no more governments divided, but one government as a whole that governed the world and those that spread out amongst the stars starting with the world Sanctuary was moved to as it was more stable.

Billions of people spread out finally and even cleaned up earth itself. Atlantis was filled with the smartest scientists Avalon had to offer and at the forefront was Sam leading them. When I finished repairing the reality ship fully and upgrading it to so far beyond Lanteans, I left a mark two ZPM powering it instead of the faulty build up drive. With that I left it in geosynchronous orbit around Atlantis which detected it again.

I watched them board it and find the mission logs before seeing the green ZPM and all the information on everything that I'd left in the database. It was connected to the bots and they were constantly adding more information to it from every world in every galaxy in every reality connected to this cluster. The ship was so far beyond them and made of materials and elements they wouldn't identify for many generations to come.

The weapons, beaming technology, everything there was, it was so much more than they could understand. McKay of course thought he'd done it, but the logs disagreed and they learned the new information was being sent in real time from seemingly everywhere to a core crystal capable of holding everything, mostly because it was made from all the naquadah I'd gathered from all across the Milky Way.

Sam recognized one thing though, the ZPM and with it she simply smiled and looked up, saying. "Liar, leaving my ass."

I spoke into her mind saying. "I left, but I came back as well. I visited every reality in this multiversal cluster and I've found the "God" of this cluster of realities. I did not lie and while I may or may not have had sex with thousands of alternate you's, I never once found what I was searching for…you."

She blushed before sighing and asking if I was going to take on human form again. I told her no, not in this reality, but I was waiting for her to ascend someday and join me so that we could leave as immortals or whatever she desired. She said she couldn't so I whisked her away to a crew quarters and shared with her all that I was, telling her what I'd forgotten and who I was first.

She asked why there and I retook human form, sort of, locking all the knowledge I'd learned in my omnipotence away. I kissed her and told her that now she could call me a liar, but just once. It was a very long time by her perspective before we finished and then she knew I'd left her a part of me, a daughter in her womb, waiting to be born. I told her as much when she lay there naked, covered and filled with seed.

I'd been very vigorous and she looked like fifty guys had run a train on her for a week. I kissed her forehead as I ascended again and told her I was leaving this reality cluster and even if she came looking, no technology could reach me where I'm going except this ship. I told it what it was doing and what it could do now as well as how it was doing it.

I wiped a hand across her stomach and told her that our daughter was the best of me and her, that no matter when or where I was I would love them even if they never came looking for me. I touched Sam's face as her breasts heaved and she looked to me. "I love you Samantha, I always have from the moment I set eyes on you on Abydos. I never understood why and even knowing everything that has and ever will happen outside of events changed by my own actions, I still don't know everything. Love is so much greater than me, Sam, it's the fire I gave humanity so very long ago because it burned in me and all I felt was warmth I wanted to share with those alone cold and in the dark."

I ran my hand from her cheek to her breasts that responded, begging to be touched, to her heart, then to her stomach. She smiled and I joined her in a soft smile as we shared each other on last time. My hand went lower to her throbbing thighs as her puffed well used slit opened at my touch. I brought her to orgasm fast and felt her release saying I'd understand when she seeks out someone to fill the voids I leave behind.

She said there was one void no one could fill but me and took my hand from her thighs, putting it over her heart. I smiled sadly and told her that I hoped not because while we part, I only want the best for her. I stood up and left, cleaning her up a bit so the only seed was in her taking root. She was Lantean enough to know and feel it even as it happened.

All she said was. "Oh boy, I fear for any woman he finds because he's definitely a god."
