Chapter 62

With the reality stone in my possession, my capabilities received another boost. It was getting ridiculous at this point. I want to just ignore the dark elves, it's not like they could find or even know I had the stone. Earth or Asgard could handle that little problem.

It is with that thought that I decide to open a portal and drop the Aether replica that I quickly created with my chaos magic. It didn't have any features except giving the same energy reading as the real one. The fake Aether landed on the SHIELD Helicarrier, and I am sure the guys are freaking out about a weird thing that suddenly appeared.

Am I using them as bait for the dark elves? Yes, absolutely. They have been annoying, so I reserve the right to get some payback. Plus if they can't handle a few thousand elves with technology decades more advanced than theirs, do they even have the right to call themselves world defenders?

I am also using this as bait for Thanos. I don't want to search for him, and I doubt he would decide to take the bait and invade my new empire. That is why Earth is the perfect planet, he is wary enough now not to send his dipshit children, but not wary enough to not invade himself.

Hela was playing the administrator to our new empire, a lot of them are discontent with the situation, but Oracle is working overtime with the propaganda, and my mental adjustments will keep them in line. They were already afraid of me before, so the mental adjustments don't even need to be that extensive.

I am currently on my Perfectum, messing around with the reality stone, power stone and my chaos magic. I am using all three to mass create a powerful and loyal army, while I wait for the show to begin. With a flex of my will, dozens of creatures I studied and modified over the years began appearing. The numbers quickly go from below 100 to a few thousand in seconds.

"Fuck, that is taxing." I curse aloud. "Go to Jormungandr, he will give you further instructions," I said, sending the barely sapient creatures on their way. With that out of the way, I make my way to one of the hot springs on the planet.

"Sir, Hela asked that you remove the taint of the celestial, Ego from the planets of our empire," Oracle said, interrupting my relaxing session and causing me to groan.

"Another problem, I honestly don't understand why everyone wants to fuck with the universe, Oracle. This purple dude who wants to kill half the universe, this blue dude who impregnates random people to become the universe, and those pointy-eared bastards who want the universe to be enveloped in darkness." I rant.

Can't people be satisfied with a planet or at least a galaxy? I already got rid of Ego's planet assimilating things on Earth and Asgard. I also killed Starlord, to delay Ego. I liked Peter as a character, but the risk he posed to the universe circumvented that like. I am not afraid of Ego, but hunting down wannabe universe conquerers is so fucking tedious.

"Ambition is a core part of most sapient creatures' psyche. Although I believe some people are a bit too ambitious for my liking."

"I will toast to that, my favourite creation. How about you write your old man a few books so that he can de-stress." I requested. Just like with coding games, Oracle is a beast at writing books, not only in speed but also in quality.

Tony Stark Pov:

Flexing my brand new cybernetic arm, I give a satisfied smile. It was depressing losing an arm, but on the bright side, I got a nice upgrade out of it.

"Hey Jarvis, should I go, full terminator," I asked my loyal AI companion. I was contemplating getting more cybernetics.

"I would caution against that, sir. I am sure you don't want to upset Miss Potts." Jarvis replies.

"I guess you're right."

"Sir, I am getting a call from Director Fury."

"What is it that the pirate needs? I already told him I don't know who launched the nukes." I said frustrated. Not being able to figure out such an obvious thing, grated me. It reminded me of that smug bastard I met at the party.

"Accept the call," I said and the figure of Fury came on the hologram.

"Stark we have a problem." He said with a grim expression.

"Is it Hansel and Gretel? I already have their location and am just upgrading my suit before I engage them."

"We encountered a red substance on the Helicarrier and all contacts with it have so far caused fatalities. We already have Banner and a few others on the case but it would be helpful if you could help."

"I'll check my schedule, okay, bye."

"Moth.." I interrupted whatever he was going to say by closing the call. I sigh, I really want to deal with the Sokovian twins but I guess they can wait. It certainly doesn't help that the Sokovians somewhat worship them.

The USA and Sokovian government already have a rocky relationship, and are even now contemplating going to war again. The only reason there isn't a war now is that it is stupid to hold two people responsible for an entire country.

I am certain though that their government won't see it that way if I take them on. Especially since I would have to take the other Avengers with me, seeing as I know I am not capable of handling them on my own and the Avengers are kind of affiliated with the American Government.

I sigh again and move towards my suit. I'll check out what is Fury's business in a minute, but for now, I will work on my suits.

Bruce Banner/Hulk Pov:

"This is one of the most remarkable things I have seen." He tells Tony.

"Quite remarkable, so remarkable that it killed at least ten people," Tony replies, causing me to grimace.

"Yeah… I guess that is bad but it doesn't make it less true."

"Sure...So far we know it has similar readings as the missing tesseract." Tony states. " So did it just appear here? Maybe the tesseract evolved, we won't know until we do more research."

They continued to study it before the red liquid stopped floating wildly and took the form of a cube. It then transforms to the images of a giant bald man with a weird chin, and then a lithe man with pointy eyes. It then shifted to the forms of countless armies before finally to the words 'Beware, they are coming.'

"My day just keeps getting better and better," Tony said with an unamused face. With that, the alarms in the Helicarrier goes off. "Well screw you, Murphy."

"Attention all personnel, there appears to be an alien mothership in the sky, all abled men and women get ready for combat." An announcer said over the intercom.

"Another one, it has barely been a few weeks," Bruce said startled.

"Welcome to the A-League, Bruce," Tony replied before summoning his suit to him with the help of Jarvis.
