A God's Perspective, Meeting Strange and His Crew

[NOAH'S POV]

***

The visible world seemed to be at a standstill as if time had completely stopped.

People, animals, non-living things, events - everything was frozen in what looked like Chrono stasis.

Reality wasn't moving as it should have been doing so.

But alas, this incomprehensible phenomenon wasn't happening in all actuality...

It was just me observing the world from my own perspective.

I wasn't simply manipulating time because I was TIME Itself, you could say that.

Time was nothing more than the air I normally breathed in - a free commodity.

It was within my grasp...leashed like a bitch.

Wasn't that just directly insulting the Multi-Eternity encompassing all of the Multiverse?

To be honest, it didn't matter.

Even if I hadn't transcended the concept of TIME... just my material body alone was enough to break away from any form of the time aspect.

I had an Invincible Body capable of defying all the natural laws of reality...

I reckon my fart was enough to erase a complete universe!

Ahem, jokes aside, even though it was an undeniable truth.

I had a bored expression on my face as I walked slowly with my hands pocketed.

The picturesque scene around me was a sight to behold.

Is this how Supreme beings standing at the top of the food chain feel?

Boredom? Lack of enough entertainment? Perceiving all of the existence effortlessly? The mere predictability of worldly day-to-day events?

It was all pointless but...I wouldn't allow boredom to stop me from enjoying myself even if it was just a little bit.

My situation seemed similar to the likes of Featherine and Void Shiki, the Archetype of the Character Ryougi Shiki.

Featherine is already easily Outerversal, standing as the creator of the whole Umineko story.

In my previous life, I recall her using a memory device to keep her memories and personality intact as she would normally lose them due to boredom.

That was the power of Wiki anyway.

As for Void Shiki, the Archetype connected to the ROOT... well, she had a calm and somehow lazy disposition and I only got to see her appearance at the ending of the Garden of Sinners Series.

Akasha, the Root was the source of all impossibilities in the NasuVerse and Shiki Ryougi just had to be connected to it...no, she was the root itself.

Just like how I can easily use the power of nothingness to do anything, she could also do the same.

The [ROOT] was just a basic realm of nothingness!

A wish-granting system.

Nothingness and everythingness were of the same essence.

I entered the cafe where Strange and his crew was busy trying to solve the ambiguity centered around the Concept of the Multiverse and all that blah blah.

Strange had his body leaned on his seat, his eyes narrowed at a pretty teenage girl seated across him.

She was America Chavez.

They looked like immovable statues.

I guess this was the part where they were discussing Strange's dream, being a reality happening in another parallel universe.

The pizza on the table looked... inviting and I couldn't resist its calling.

It was so powerful that I couldn't resist its damnable allure.

It was my kryptonite.

As always its taste was phenomenal, well, all kinds of pizza tasted good to me.

After finishing, I dragged a chair that was close to me and took a seat in front of them.

I snapped my finger and everything started to return to normal.

I ended my perspectivism.

I leaned forward with my fingers intertwined underneath my chin.

"They should be now resuming what they were doing...I wonder how their reactions would be?"

Dr.Strange narrowed his eyes at America, "There was a fight in my dream."

"That wasn't a dream-" America explained softly, only to be cut short by Strange.

"Prove I-" He suddenly stopped mid-sentence and with a startled expression on his face, his face slowly started turning toward my direction.

Oh, this supes with their extrasensory perception and enhanced senses.

Anyway, it wasn't like I was concealing my presence.

"Um, w-who are you? How did you, you know, get here?" Strange stuttered with a shocked expression on his face.

His mouth was agape, probably wondering about the peculiarity of the current situation.

How would you expect him to react when a mysterious person suddenly appeared out of god knows where and sat right in front of them without realizing it?

And he was eating a goddamn pizza?!

Both Wong and America also turned their heads to look at me with the same sense of shock, tension, and incredulity.

I raised my hand which held a greasy pizza as a gesture but the reaction I got rendered me speechless.

Both Wong and Strange had their hands raised, the magical slings on their fingers vibrating intensely.

Golden yellow sparks visibly started phasing in and out of existence.

The anti-threat system in America's body also acted up, enabling her to access her unstable powers for a short period.

Vivid Blue sparks started to crackle on her fingers.

I don't why they suddenly had their guards up all of a sudden.

Was the piece of pizza so terrifying?

"Hey, what's with the tensed, serious vibe you are releasing?" I chuckled lightly as I proceeded to wolf down the piece of greasy pizza.

"We don't know what or who you are. With the sudden opening of walls connecting to the infinite universes...you get what I am trying to say, right?" Strange mustered up the courage to project his inner tumultuous thoughts.

"Hmm, that blunder of yours with the Peter boy?" Noah spoke with a feigned pondering look.

"How did you know-" Wong almost jumped out of his seat.

Hehe, seeing him made me smile.

I don't know why but images of the memes of courting death started flashing in my mind.

I almost felt like bursting my lungs out like a madman.

Was I finally becoming insane?

The oily remnants of the pizza were automatically cleaned as I slouched in my seat.

I truly didn't have the demeanor of a supreme being but that of unruly youth.

All this time, America had her eyes bluntly staring at me with mixed facial expressions.

Caution, awe, admiration, fear...

I didn't give it a thought.

I was honestly weirding them out...and if I was in their shoes I would have probably reacted outrageously.

"Okay, it's like this...You don't have to be on guard against me since I could have easily killed you if I wanted to."

"I also know the past, present, and the infinite possibilities of the future, just like how our dear Dr.Strange had tried to do when he saw me."

I concluded with an amused look cast toward Strange.

The guy almost dropped his mouth on the floor.

Dots of uneasy sweat started to visibly form on his forehead and his fingers could be seen trembling.

He was afraid.

Immensely afraid.

His sneaky actions were just like an open book in front of me, ever since the beginning.

Just like a predator playing with its prey.

That's right, our boy Strange had the fucking TIME stone in the seemingly empty Eye of Agamotto!

This was entirely different from the Multiverse of Madness plot because...I WAS THERE!
