------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After two months, I had finally done it.

I had unlocked the next step on my crafting agenda, the rock golem factory.

Needless to say, I created a few of these buildings in a lot I had bought and started the mass production.

Now, it was simply time to sit back and watch how things played out, I was after all already leveling without doing much leveling myself as of lately.

All thanks to my golems, heck, I already had over 100 clay golems leveling for me, most of them were already above level 140.

A day, I would get around 25% to 30% of my EXP bar, getting on an average of a level a week or so, which was by idle standards quite good.

I reckoned that If I continued the path I was walking, soon I would start getting at least a level a day, maybe even more.

Also, on another note, I had also discovered that the creation of automatons required space for them, meaning, that I could not create more golems that my area could hold, so far, I calculated my limit was around 1000 golems before I needed to buy some more lands to host my army.

Something I was already actively doing, buying lands in texas, and using magic to hide what was happening inside said lands.

Anywho.

With how things were going, it was time for a break.

I had invested over six months in my crafting, and now it was time for a well-earned rest.

Mayhaps time for a side project that didn't involve crafting.

"Dad!" I heard Emily call, as she entered my office.

"Princess, whatcha doing here?" I smiled at her, ruffling her hair.

"I wanted to show this!" Emily smiled, and doing a circle with her hands, opened the mirror dimension.

I wonder why I never learned this spell, it's so useful.

"Amazing," It truly was, this technique ensured she would be safe on most occasions.

"I know I am," Emily winked at me with a proud smile.

As I was about to hug her, I felt something, something I hadn't felt in a long while, my [danger sense] going off.

"Emily, bring us back to the real world," I told her with a tone that left no room for argument.

"On it," Emily nodded, without asking why.

Back in the real world, I gave Emily quick orders to fetch Bucky and then go with Nat to one of our safe houses.

With Emily out of the room, I opened my map, and checked, I needed to know what had set off my [Danger sense].

It didn't take me long to find a single red dot approaching my location.

Immediately, I used [Sight] to check who it was, and what I saw, surprised me.

On the back of a truck, there was a man sitting with his arms crossed and a bloodthirsty smile, the man was big, very big, and sported a rather unique helmet that looked like the head of a bullet.

That man was Juggernaut.

[Juggernaut LV 280]

Just his level alone was a fucking ominous thing to look at.

"You called?" Bucky asked, and I nodded.

"There is someone coming here, someone quite dangerous," I replied, a grave look on my face, "And I have no idea why…"

[A new quest has been created]

[Defeat the Juggernaut!

Description: The Juggernaut is a force of nature that can't be stopped, but you have to stop it.

Rewards: ????????

Failure = Death]

—-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Alexander Pierce POV]

It had taken us a while to find the perfect candidate to kill Alex, a man of his power made our entire life-long goal, quite difficult, and he needed to be eliminated, but that was easier said than done, that man was beyond human reach.

So, I searched.

Day and night, I looked for the hunter that would turn our predator into prey.

Cain Marko was that man, or rather that monster.

A man blessed with unimaginable strength and a thirst for battle that could never be satiated. Just what we needed.

All it took to get him on our side was offering him a challenge.

The man took Hydra, the ever-evolving Mutant, Alex Walker.

Of course, needless to say, Cain Marko was a wild card, one that we knew the moment Alex died, would betray us, but we would deal with that later, unstoppable or not, in space he would be nothing but dead weight.

"Sir, are you sure this man can kill that monster?" One of my agents asked, and I chuckled.

"We ran some simulations, and the Juggernaut is above Alex in each category," I replied, with full confidence.

"But what if we lose?" 

I hummed at that, there was always the chance of that happening, "Not to worry, if that came to happen, we will do what we have always done, survive."

Not that I worried about the Juggernaut's performance, I knew that monster was more than enough to kill Alex.

[Odin Borson POV]

Alex was in trouble.

I could feel it.

That bastard was making a move, like always, I fucking hated Cyttorak.

"Thor!" I called, my voice booming through the halls of my castle.

"Father!" Thor shouted from far away, flying towards the throne room.

Too slow, I needed him now, so snapping my fingers I summoned my child in front of me.

"Well, that… you haven't done since I was but a child," Thor chuckled.

"No time to waste, you need to get to Earth now!" I ordered.

"What is happening? Is Alex okay? Did they hurt my mighty nieces?! Was it LOKI?!" Thor asked one question after the other.

"No," I shook my head, taking a deep breath, "If it was Loki, I would be sending you to protect your brother from his own stupidity, no… what Alex is about to face is something far worse, and it's known the Apostle of Cyttorak."

"The apostle of what?" Thor asked.

"A monster blessed with powers and bloodlust like no other, in my years I have seen many apostles, and they all share something in common, the madness that overtakes them… to make matters worse, their power is as big as that bastard of a God that blessed them decides it is…" Meaning I could not interfere, if I went, Cyttorak could take it as a challenge, and could very well decide to give his apostle all his power, and that would be a battle earth would not live to tell the tale.
