Recruiting (2/3)

Who was the first person I was aiming to recruit? That would be the man known as Dr. Fate... or the being known as Dr. Fate. What I wanted was the Lord Of Order, Nabu to join the Justice League.

Nabu the Wise was a Lord of Order and a cosmic being who arrived on Earth billions of years ago to take a proactive role in battling the Lords of Chaos. A cosmic being with near limitless magical power, his spirit resides in the Helmet of Fate and is the source of the great power held by those who bear the mantle, Doctor Fate.

The Justice Society of America didn't exist in this universe, from memory I knew they were a group of heroes that came before the birth of the Justice League. The Fact they didn't exist meant that Dr. Fate might not be willing to join the mortals in the good fight.

Anyways, Cyborg opened a boom tube to the last seen location of Dr. Fate, and from there we began searching. I began using this chance to start improving my sense of magic, I quickly sensed Dr. Fate's magic and my eyebrow raised at the type of magic it was.

I never heard anything about Dr. Fate using Order magic. I'm pretty sure Dr. Fate just used magic, his magic never having any given name. But when sensing Dr. Fate, and using Anos's experience, I quickly gave the magic the title of Order Magic.

But if it was Order Magic, didn't it mean it had a lot of limitations, if Chaos ever grows too much, then Order Magic shall grow weaker while Chaos Magic grows stronger? 

'He is weak, Chaos is overwhelming Order.' I thought my skills in reading the remains of Magic reached unmatched heights in little time. I looked around for some time, getting all of the information I could get, before looking far off into space.

"So, you think this guy uses magic? I guess magic being real isn't so shocking... my scans are picking up nothing, found anything?" Cyborg asked while walking over towards me, and to that I nodded.

"I know a thing or two about Magic, open a boom tube about 300 to 310 miles from here. In that location." I said while pointing forward. Cyborg opened a boom tube, and we both stepped in, arriving in what seemed to be an open empty field, near the ocean.

"There is nothing here," Cyborg said to which I smirked, he saw nothing, but I was looking at the Tower of Fate. Anos was truly a genius in the field of magic, but I was infinitely better than him, seeing how quickly I was absorbing all of his experience. 

"You should work on improving your system to be able to read magic, it would be an important skill to have in the future," I said while a golden ankh appeared in the air before us, followed by Dr. Fate who seemly flew out of it.

"Escanor, you are not welcome here." Dr. Fate said his eyes locked on me. But I waved his words off, and although I was confused as to what story God made up for him to think that way, I had more important things to deal with right now.

"Order is losing to chaos, and with every passing day, you grow weak. You can't fight Chaos alone, not anymore." I said with a calm and relaxed smile,

"Your words are true, but the last I checked, you were neither with Chaos nor Order. Why are you stepping forward now?" Dr. Fate... or should I say Nabu asked coldly.

"Darkness, I'm guessing that is the reason you're losing, and it might be because of that," I said with a smile, and my words shook Nabu.

"How do you know of such matter, you're but a mortal..." Nabu was clearly shaken, but as if remembering who he was speaking to, he relaxed before sighing in defeat.

"What you say seems to true," Nabu said to which I nodded, that was a guess, but to think I was right.

"I'm growing weaker as the day passes, and chaos grows stronger. I meant to join you in your battle with Darkseid, but I was forced to go elsewhere to fight the lord of chaos." Nabu said while landing before us.

"What are they doing that you can't even leave the tower?" I asked stunning Nabu for a moment, this indeed was just a spell, for his real body was trapped inside the Tower Of Fate, something that became his prison. 

"That is something you shouldn't worry door." A kid's voice sounded behind us, we turned to see a kid who had a cat in his arm. The cat let out a cry hearing his words,

"They know I meant for," The kid said, before throwing a cold smirk towards me.

"So, you the mortal with the skills worthy of making the gods jealous, a being who only appears once across the infinite multiverse." The kid said while sizing me up,

"I was always told I was a one-of-a-kind... but by the looks of things, you're nothing special," I said with a smirk, making the kid's eyes turn cold.

"That's Klarion, he killed my host and trapped my helmet inside the tower. He is currently weakened from our battle, so you should be able to defeat him." Nabu said unease about all of this,

"I will hold him off, Cyborg, go get the rest of the Justice League members," I said while taking my sword and shield which was on my back. I stepped forward to face Nabu, while Cyborg stepped backward to do just that.

Klarion of course moved to stop him, but I flashed, blocking the Red lightning which was going to hit Cyborg with my shield... well, I didn't block the attack, more like jumped in the way while slapping it into the sky. Of course, such an act needed perfect timing, and the shield which was created using magic,

"What?" Klarion was shocked for a moment before he grew enraged seeing Cyborg had already left through a Boom Tube. Klarion angrily took hold of me using Telekiniese, something which was hard to counter... but that wasn't a problem for me.

Klarion wanted to take hold of me using telekinesis, but with my body moving on its own, and with my movement being far harder than ever to read, all he took hold of as after images. Klarion couldn't even understand what happened until it was too late as I moved in, cutting off his head.

"I know that's not enough to stop you, even if I erased your whole body you would recover," I said seeing Klarion playing dead to try and catch me off guard. Seeing as his plan failed, Klarion exploded in rage, his head reconnecting, followed by all of the trees being pulled out of the ground and shooting towards me.

My body moved, dancing around and easily dodging every tree with perfect timing and movement.

'I should start mastering Anos spells that could destroy the very concept of things... didn't Anos have spells that allow him to come back even if his concept is destroyed? Anos is truly overpowered...' I thought while walking towards Klarion who was growing enraged by the fact he couldn't touch me, and the fact my mind was clearly wandering elsewhere.

'Chaos is an important thing to have for the growth of lifeforms, without chaos there isn't growth. It's like how a village that never knew conflict grows weak, but a village that grew up in conflict adapts and grows to become unmatched.' I thought while looking at Klarion who was throwing a tantrum like a child.

Klarion shot into the sky, trying his best to avoid me. Yet I shot after him at blinding speed, cutting off his arms before he could do anything, before I stabbed my sword into his opened mouth, and pinned him to a tree.

"You're so weak," I said with a mocking smirk, enraging Klarion whose mouth glowed red, before a shot a beam breath attack at me, but I just turned my head to the side at the least second and just looked at him with a smile.

"You seem not to feel pain, so let's change that... I want you to fear me." I said with a smile before slamming my fist into his stomach. It wasn't a strong fist, but it was instead one of my nearly created martial arts, the fist of pain.

It was a martial art that did dead damage but instead focused on overwhelming your target with so much pain that it could kill. The force behind the fist, the location in which the fist hit, down to your target, they were all keys needed to understand to use this martial arts.

{Klarion POV}

When was the last time a mortal toyed with me like this? Just watching that smirk of his, the indifferent gaze he had while looking at me as if I was an ant he could kill whenever he wanted... it enraged me to no limit. I am the lord of chaos, and I demand respect! I was stronger than him, was faster, and was more capable than him, it's just that his movements were hard to read. Take that away from him and he was a weak bug I could crush.

Just as my arms were about to regrow thanks to the bastard cutting them off, the bastard punched me. At first, I didn't think anything from it, but from the spot his fist came into contact with me came... pain.

I let out a pained scream, but he didn't let up as he kept punching me, the pain not dying down as they seemed to connect to grow worse. I wanted it to stop, I wanted to move, but with the sword still in my mouth, pinning me to the tree what could I do? 

 It was hard to put together a thought, all of my attempts to use magic led to a fist connecting with my face, sending a shock into my brain which led to me being unable to use magic. I wanted to leave, I wanted it to stop, but it wouldn't stop... he wouldn't stop. The bully just kept beating me until someone caught his fist.

"That's enough," Superman said with a deep frown, He looked at Escanor and back at me, covered in tears and snot running down my face.

"Since you are all here, it's a good training exercise against beings on the level of him. Good luck." Escanor said while looking at the Justice League which had all gathered. They were confused for a moment, but I didn't give them a chance to speak as I sent them all flying away with a burst of power that shot off me.

"I will kill you all!" I roared in blood lust, when was the last time I been bullied like this? I will kill them, drink their blood, and use their bones to sweeten my tea... I didn't like tea, I couldn't use their bones to sweeten my juice right?

I raged as the trees all around me shot into the sky before they all broke apart, transforming into a huge red dragon that stood at my side.

"He is stronger than the Darkseid you all face, so work together." The hateful Esanor said seeing how Green Lantern was about to rush forward.

"Don't tell me what to do!" Green Lantern said while shooting forward to fight me, and this enraged me. This weakling thought he was my match! Did they think because they fought that weakened Darkseid they were my match?

The dragon moved at shocking speed, sending Green Lantern landing hard before Escanor, I was aiming for the Green Lantern to land on Escanor, but my aim was off. But so be it.

"So, we learned something today?" Escanor asked with a smile, pissing Green Lantern off, Green lantern struggled to stand up, just to fall to one knee.

"We can't defeat him, we have to look for his weakness!" Batman called out, to which Escanor clapped his hands,

"Indeed, someone of his power level can't stay in our dimension, so how do you send him back to wherever he came from?" Escanor said, annoying the Justice League who didn't enjoy being trained like children.

Hearing Escanor words, I grew more enraged, the dragon at my side opening its mouth, breathing down a sea of flames towards him. But Green Lantern quickly made a shield to shield them.

My dragon moved, slamming Superman who was shooting towards me with such force, that he was sent flying away with his chest bleeding from the claw attack. Wonder Woman trying to take the opening shot towards me, with Shazam shooting towards the Dragon to draw its attention.

I pointed my palm toward Wonder Woman, but the flash at blinding speed appeared, punching me... I was fast, quickly becoming intangible. I turned tangible as soon as he shot passed me and shot red lightning into Wonder Woman, sending her flying into the wall.

Shazam after sending the dragon falling backward shot toward me, but I drew the Flash into his path, which caused Shazam to panic.

"How do we send him out!" Batman yelled angrily seeing how they were all being defeated, they couldn't take on such a monster.

"You all stepped in to stop me without getting all of the information first, that was your first mistake. Putting your life foolishly on the line without knowing who you're up against, and stopping someone who knows what they doing in a field completely new to you all." Escanor said while picking up a rock, which he threw towards a cat.

Seeing this, I quickly tried to stop it, but I moved too late, Escanor's movement was just too hard to read, leaving behind after images. I could only watch I my poor cat was killed, 

"Teeki!" I screamed seeing my friend dead, I glared at Escanor, my tears of hatred burning brighter than ever before I was forcefully taken out of this plane.

"I guess you all did well, magic is a new field, follow me inside the tower. I will explain everything to you inside." Escanor said entering the tower, leaving the Justice League members to look at themselves.
