To ensure Mars remained secure from external threats, I created a highly advanced magical shielding system, undetectable to most and capable of protecting the planet from dimensional encroachments. This shielding was far more sophisticated than anything on Earth and included exact copies of the sanctum sanctorum in strategic locations. The Ancient One herself visited Mars, stunned by the magical advancements and buildings premade, particularly the sign that read, "Many magician posts vacant, up to Sorcerer Supreme."
The sheer scale of the protection on Mars dwarfed anything on Earth.
With an influx of settlers and ready-made buildings, we began leasing properties, and the transition of Earth into a Type II civilization accelerated. For many, this transformation was overwhelming, especially for beings like Ikaris of the Eternals. Intrigued and alarmed by the rapid advancements, Ikaris traveled to Mars to investigate. I neutralized him by severing his connection to cosmic energy, then extracted his memories, distributing them to the other Eternals on Earth. Ikaris was then returned unconscious to Sersi, mid-lecture, in front of her students.
The memory sharing caused unrest among the Eternals, but understanding the inevitable Emergence, they chose to wait and monitor events. As Mars wasn't yet ready to sustain Earth's entire population, and with their communication to Arishem blocked by my shielding, their options were limited. Frustrated, Ikaris that annoying prick, attempted to leave Earth in search of Arishem, but I wiped his memory and implanted false memories of him being a bar owner in New York, effectively sidelining him.
On Mars, the introduction of flora and fauna, especially in soil rich in vibranium, led to remarkable adaptations. Plants and ecosystems evolved in response to the element in short time, and vibranium-based technologies greatly improved the energy efficiency of cities, reducing pollution to minimal levels. However, the need for food remained a challenge.
Only plant-based diets and meat from transported local fauna were available, and farming areas were leased to governments and private landowners. The disputes and problems were less as efficiency was coordinated with the help of artificial intelligence of human federation.
The Holistic Unified Management and Automation Network (H.U.M.A.N.) A.I. is a sophisticated planetary-level artificial intelligence designed to optimize and streamline the management of resources, processes, and systems on Earth and beyond and help in transmigration over to Mars.
Mars's infrastructure was rapidly modernized, with roads built using microrobotic technology from Cho Industries. High efficiency solar power plants and Hydro-electric and Wind based energy production systems were arranged. Although flying vehicles were introduced for transportation with in engines, fossil fuel-based systems were banned for public use, with only governments permitted to use such technologies.
Fuel imports from Earth were tightly controlled, making Mars a model for sustainable, high-tech living. And Each area allocated to governments were exactly the same down to topography and soil content. The humans consuming Vibranium based food also undergone some strengthening on their own. We published scientific reports on it and curbed any accusations from people early.
The people who has the fastest adaptation to Mars were Atlanteans and Wakandans. The new Mars has an average surface temperature about 15°C at equator with greenhouse effects and new alignment with sun, faster day and night etc. Lack of sunlight problem was solved with releasing health products. The lowest temperature previously reported were -30°C over at poles during last 1 year. The system's present in each city will allow climatic control on the planet.
Only after 10000 people migrated over to Mars did the official inauguration started. And celebration was short. The secrets behind transformations were being released but not the technical content as required by the new law of Mars. We referred ourselves as Martians.
Due to the easiness of planetary migration, the people were very happy with the arrangement as it didn't made people seperate from age groups or racial class or money even. The only deciding factors were their history, mental stability and skills.
Wakandans and Atlanteans made wealth soon using the matured vibranium processing and technological advantages over other nations, which inturn helped them over at Mars. Ofcourse the royal family is still at the Earth because Bast, their goddess was there. A part of her had emerged as deep vibranium segment, which was about to be transplanted over to Mars as per her instructions.
Well knowing this I isolated the Wakandan Vibranium sent from rest of the world in Mars. Created a zone of 1000s of kilometres which isolated Wakanda vibranium with others. She definitely needs more faith from humans. Talking about faith, it was converging over me from all over the world as the architect behind the planetary transformations. I refined those and cultivated passively.
The amount of magical creature attacks sustained from hell dimension and dark magicians were staggering. Months passed by, various conflicts were still all over earth and even begin at Mars, as humans can't live without it. Well the magicians lead by kaecilius are in Mars now after their fight at Earth.
We setup a planetary science development council and with the help from H.U.M.A.N A.I it was easy to gain monitoring of researchs done in every field in Mars and those super smart but evil scientist opening up connections to dimensions were directly informed to SWORD teams employing at Mars under Nick Fury to apprehend and take the dangerous technology to safe keeping.
There were scientific and military testing zones of 1000s of Kilometres in Mars away from habitable zones. So that's it. The military was finally allowed it's transition to Mars, as I have withdrawn from manipulating them. The Human Federation is formed of elected candidates from all over the world governments so their position were higher than those of President and prime minister's of individual countries on earth.
Some education and scientific background was kept as requirement unlike before where any good talking and public sensationists couldn't become a member here. With it, included Tony and Helen also as we are the pioneers of new planet transformation, our companies received Goverment positions of our own. So technically speaking both Tony and Helen are representatives of goverments of themselves. Helen also completed magic training for an year, after which she came back and joined scientific councils at Mars.
Shield is involved with inhumans on earth, Skye meeting her parents, acquisition of super ability people, and such. Preventing illegal capture of such people as I setup sage to do that in assisting SHIELD as she needed some challenges to flex her powers, she said it herself. Stark did a good job or organising the stark fest and things similar to timeline and even the experimental spiders were there. Peter Parker was bitten by a spider, well I made it bite him after it went for Gwendolyn Maxine and Michell Jones originally. I had to give it some venom back as it was exhausted, looking at the other guy, I felt sympathy and made him bite Peter at the end.
Now there is a spider man and two spider womans. It was funny to watch their hero complex developing each set own to create similar spider themed suits and met each other at the same building after a month. They were again shocked by the three people who actually are upon revealing themselves. Well seeing their power levels were only good as a prime 3eX soldier, I intervened and knocked 3 of them. I used my understanding of genetics and magic to optimize their body and their power is similar to 85 tonnes or more. They were acting as vigilantes known as the spiders.
While a notable event happened is, Stephan Strange went into an accident. Well he used regeneration serum and got healed and is returning to work. Looks like Ancient ones retirement plans needed work. But Helen was instructed to bring him back by Ancient One as serum was her responsibility. Well seeing no other choice, I send him memories of an alternate self-learning magic and fighting against dimensional creatures.
It will persistently disturb him even during work as these flash backs occurs calling him for his path. Well after a month he decided to check himself and went to Kamar Taj and found out everything was real and started to learn magic, while keeping his doctor's job in the sidelines. He maintained the relationship with Palmer.
Seeing I was free, I called Wanda and Pietro who now work at welfare sections in our company and do vigilantism and social works. I granted Pietro his variants x gene power. His power multiplied over 1000 times from then. He trained very hard for control as I transferred both to my inner universe. For Wanda, her connection with Chthon was no longer, her ability reduced to small probability altering.
Instead, I gave her mind training. Then gave her magic knowledge. I acted myself as a deity for her to contract on. She used my power to learn the magic I gave her. It wasn't difficult to pull up information from Agatha's mind and teach her and combat training with wizardry.
Keeping Wanda inside my inner multiverse, I transformed my entire being into Wanda Maximoff, both body and soul, becoming essentially her. Shielding was converged to my consciousness and soul realm.
This energy flowed through me, filling my being, transforming me momentarily into the Scarlet Witch—perhaps the most powerful version yet due to my life level. The chaos crown felt natural, and this time, I had a deeper understanding of chaos magic, something I lacked before. Unlike before, I didn't care about any entities as I didn't have much of understanding of magic back then about chaos magic. Now I am Wanda myself besides being proficient in magic shielding.
Feeling it, I understood. All life contains chaos, and it is the very first building block of creation of all existence. But as chaos can birth life, it can also destroy it. Because of that, it needs direction and organization. Elder god Chthon is a bearer of Chaos magic and he could this influence others.
Sensing with my divine sense all over, I found the realm of Mount Wundagore over at easter Europe. Teleporting over there, I was met with the magical creatures guarding which kneeled infront of me sensing the chaos magic.
The ancient inscriptions on the walls bestowed dark knowledge directly into my mind—necromancy, summoning, limbo realms, lycanthropy, vampirism, mind domination, dark force manipulation, energy manipulation and more. Using my LoHP, I corrected the flaws in this knowledge and tested dream walking. I found myself connecting to alternate Wanda Maximoffs across realities,
After I engaged, I could now extend the shielding over there and copy powers within the shielding range. I can operate as a secondary mind on their back, and this didn't cause any ripples across realities or timelines.
After going over multiple realities some within mutant worlds even, I obtained many abilities like Monica Rambeau's Energy embodiment and projection, absorption, Franklin Richards reality manipulations, Molecular man reality altering, mutant Forges intuitive engineering ability, and finally Deadpool fourth wall breaking power.
The abilities soon merged with reality manipulation of mine and could do it without thought. After this journey, I severed all soul connections and potential corruptions using my shielding ability, transforming back to my true self.
Inside my inner universe, I taught Wanda the depths of chaos magic, guiding her through three years of focused training. She learned to wield chaos magic fluently, no longer on autopilot, and understood its rules.
When we returned to the present, Wanda decided not to become the Scarlet Witch initially as she had seen in alternate timelines. I warned her that once I left this timeline, it would be open to multiversal threats, and as a nexus being, she was crucial to its stability.
Wanda returned to her original timeline, only two days having passed. She reconnected with her chaos magic, embracing her Scarlet Witch form. I recommended both her and Pietro to the Avengers, and they trained, showcasing their enhanced abilities. Tony Stark even provided a new vibranium-based suit for Pietro.
I decide to cultivate in the meantime, under a time array within the Myriad miles and mountains map, I consumed divine phase less fruits and Starfall fruits and other rare fruits I created. The energy absorption was enormous.
I stayed inside time array for 4 years. My experiences helped very much and the new scientific knowledges were properly fixed the flaws and added to my understanding. The abilities of LoHP merged with Karnak's power, sages vision, intuitive mind and sages mind, (which after many uses of quantum brain accepted much of its features as thought acceleration, parallel computation, mind simulation ). My realm upgraded to Deity realm 8. The reality manipulation using law authority beyond my shielding region with my true cultivation increased. The inherent ability merged with cultivation to access anywhere within divine sense range.
Fourth wall breaking evolved into something else and allowed me to see the god who proclaimed as myself in the first place. " You are holding back a lot more, what's the use of entertainment like this, you won't have to face anything more powerful than you in the first place, that's my promise " Those were his words. Other ability is to observe my past world in itself. Maybe reference some movies or novel worlds from here and try on it in the future.
In the inner universe, I have recreated an isolated realm with world rules of marvel including magic and science. An identical copy of earth and known alien planets with all its people and races were created with reality control and mind stone helped in transferring consciousness and memories, without anyone knowing, except the celestial, just for fun.
Having contacted by Helen outside through the small runic communicator provided, I left outside to find myself at year March 2018.
Sensing outside, Avengers constantly put down many conflicts and there was no Civil war. Captain Marvel left for a long journey through stars. Wakandan chief didn't die. But he voluntarily retired his throne to his son for the new age of exploration. Infact avengers and shield nearly wiped away Hydra from earth. Tony married Pepper officially and she is pregnant. Captain met with Bucky Barnes and forming bromance together.
Skrull population moved into Mars. Our company used many life model decoys of sage A.I., Helen and Maya and other researchers to assist in various sectors, but they were restricted to classified information of returning back to human bodies as Sage A.I. checks the whole operation, LMD detection were placed at everywhere to protect the safety of original.
The concept of framework virtual stage is used for crime prevention in the city, as it could recreate the scenes from his memories of the person. The crime has a 100% chance of finding out within the Government of Cho Industries. It is also used for research work as consciousness models of researchers can work in different quantum brains entirely separate and at morning the memory could still be released back within 5 minutes.
Battle against Dormamu has been completed a two months before and ancient one is dead.
Spreading consciousness further, I found that in Asgard, Odin died recently a few months later than in original timeline. Before his death he freed Loki, Thor returned to Asgard and they were informed about Hela, their sister.
Odin ended his life on earth after saying goodbye to Frigga because, since the seal on hela is connected through his life force, she will emerge into Asgard directly and will be impossible for anyone to stop her, if he were to die there. Odin was giving Thor and Loki a last chance. And prohibited Thor or Loki to go to earth or open Bifrost to earth, no matter what happened.
Shortly after his death, Hela emerged from her prison to earth. She can't leave earth until her strength reaches a level. So, she started her ruling directly from earth. About a day ago, she went to Norway village and forced people to be under her rule and killed many. Which meant Thor couldn't sit back and watch her kill and went to fight her and is now on the losing end. I recreated those bodies and pulled the souls back and brought the dead to life. The damages done were retraced, and Hela was restricted access to magic and bound. Then I brought her to me.
Hela Odinsdottir, once the feared conqueror of realms, now knelt pitifully before me, her ambition still burning but her power diminished. I could sense that familiar weakness returning to her—one she hadn't felt for 2,500 years. "That feeling," I said, "so suddenly brought back. It must be hard to confront again, isn't it?"
"Release me this instant, mortal!" she snarled, her voice a mix of fury and desperation. "What tricks are you using? I'll slaughter everyone here for the crimes you've committed. Once I reach Asgard, I'll regain my full power!"
I placed my palm gently on her face, smoothing my thumb across her cheek. "Oh, dear Hela, that's not the way to respond in moments like this. I could pity you for wasting half your life, but let's not forget—you were no hero, and Odin certainly wasn't either. Power, is that what you seek?"
Asgard lay beyond the scope of my shield, but not beyond my divine sense. I improvised, crafting an avatar of Hela beneath Asgard itself using my mastery of magic and rule manipulation. This avatar, bound to the Hela in front of me, began to siphon energy from Asgard, her color returning, her power rapidly surging. She ascended from planetary strength to interstellar might—the same power levels defined by the Marvel cosmos.
"I can feel it!" she exclaimed, laughing as her energy returned. She paused for a moment, savoring the sensation of near-omnipotence, before summoning the necrosword. With all her newly restored might, she hurled it at me, but I stopped it effortlessly with a single finger. The magical energy dissolved on contact, diffused by my superior control over essence and energy conversion.
"Hela," I said calmly, "ambition requires power to match. Even now, with Asgard fueling you, you're barely at the interstellar level. At his peak, Odin was galactic. That's what you will need to reach—galactic strength, not merely interstellar. Beyond that is the level of a single-universe entity, like me. But if I tap into cosmic or dark energy, the kind you wield, I ascend to multiversal—a tier far beyond your reach."
She glared at me, defiant. "So what?" she spat. "That doesn't mean I can't conquer this universe. How many like you exist?"
I chuckled softly. "Few," I admitted. "But even one is enough to keep you from ruling this universe. Ambition alone won't suffice. You've seen the limits of your power, Hela. Conquest without understanding the forces at play is mere fantasy."
"There are at least a hundred beings in this universe alone, including Celestials, capable of killing you," I said, my voice flat. "Do you really think gathering all the Infinity Stones will make you a single-universe-level power, putting you at the top? Outside this reality, those stones are nothing but paperweights. An outsider could bring their own stones here and overpower you."
Hela's eyes narrowed, her defiance clear. "That doesn't mean I can't try. Having the Infinity Stones would certainly help."
"True," I conceded. "There are few like me. But there are many others. What will you do when your enemies unite against you? Think of the Celestials, the Watcher, self-proclaimed heroes, even those who have truly mastered the Stones' power. They won't simply stand by while you go on a rampage and slaughter for conquest."
She smirked, her confidence unshaken. "Let them come! I thrive in chaos. Fear is a tool I wield well."
"But is that all you want, Hela? To rule through fear? Power gained by terror is fleeting. What happens when the constant fighting wears you down? When ambition blinds you to those who could stand with you? There are many who would follow you if you gave them reason to. Ruling through loyalty builds something lasting, something greater than fear."
"Loyalty?!" she spat, almost disgusted. "You speak of weakness. You expect me to embrace the softness of mortals?"
"Not weakness," I corrected, "strength. True strength lies in forging bonds, not just breaking them. Think about it—if you conquer through making enemies, you create a cycle of endless war. But if you build alliances, you could create a kingdom that thrives. You can still be powerful and feared, but imagine leading a united front, where you inspire others to stand with you, not against you."
Her jaw tightened. "I have no time for diplomacy. I want power now."
"And you can have it—on your terms. You don't have to choose between ambition and connection. Picture it, Hela. You could be a queen not only feared but revered, a ruler who commands not just through terror but through respect. Imagine being the center of power, with people standing by you because they believe in your cause."
Hela hesitated, a flicker of uncertainty crossing her face. "What makes you think that's possible for someone like me? I've spent my existence betrayed, cast aside."
"Because I see your potential," I replied, my voice softening. "You're not just a conqueror—you are a force of nature. But even forces like you can choose their path. Why not choose one where you lead, not just destroy? Your ambition could fuel a new vision for the realms, one where you are at the helm—not as a tyrant, but as a leader."
She scoffed, but there was doubt in her eyes. "And if I fail? If they betray me again? You want me to become like Odin?"
"Odin is dead, and he was a hypocrite," I said, in a bad tone. "Did he ever tell you why he suddenly 'enlightened' after centuries of using you as his executioner? He hid your history, Hela. His sons? Thor is a warrior without any ambition to lead, and Loki? Ambitious but lacking the power to back it up, though he excels in cunning. But you? You have the strength and leadership ability. Failure is a part of the journey, but loyalty and respect can help you rise stronger. You have the chance to break the cycle of betrayal, to rewrite your fate."
She stared at me, her gaze searching. "Who are you, really? And why are you so interested in me?"
I smiled. "I'm a traveler, a seeker of power, a spectator. Sometimes, I manipulate. Other times, I guard. I can be a hero or a villain, depending on the role I choose. But with you, I help because I've seen your end, Hela. And I want to change that. Ragnarok is a nexus event and not a recurring event unlike in some realities."
I shared the vast cosmic awareness of the multiverse with her, opening her mind to the sheer scale of existence beyond her limited vision. I showed her the powerful beings scattered across realities, the alternate universes where her life played out differently. She saw the TVA erasing timelines, Loki ruling as the God of a multiversal sector. In countless realities, she was either defeated by her brother, forgotten in battle, or remembered as a tyrant. Eternity had no mercy for her in those timelines. And then, I revealed a different path—a white-clad version of herself, breaking free from fate, keeping peace in the universe and beyond.
Finally, I showed her what became of Asgard and the Asgardians after her death in the prime reality. The weight of her choices and their consequences bore down on her, though I knew this would not be enough to sway her entirely. "I know you won't change simply because some of your variants died or learned a few hard truths. But look closely at this—your most probable future in this universe."
Using the Great Expanse Divine Dao, I simulated her future. She watched herself return to Asgard, power swelling within her, only to meet death at the hands of her people. Or sometimes, she would kill them all, only to be struck down by a Jotunheim. In one reality, Loki summoned Surtur to end her. In another, Thanos arrived to end her rule, torturing her for eternity after she killed his daughter. She watched herself perish in endless ways—by the snap of Thanos' fingers, by Celestials, by multiversal incursions, or when her timeline was erased. In over five million futures, Hela died.
Her expression faltered, lost in the overwhelming weight of her probable demise. The shift in her was palpable.
"Now that you've seen your future," I said softly, "you understand. You will die. Again and again. Because a part of you is restrained by the fear of failure."
Her eyes glistened, not with anger or vengeance, but with sorrow. For once, they were tears of sadness. "Why is my fate so cruel?" she murmured, her voice empty.
I shrugged, my tone indifferent. "I never planned on convincing you of anything, Hela. I'm not some benevolent god. I've already told you, I could be a villain if I chose to. I even consider taking over your soul and playing the part of Hela myself—preventing Ragnarok, fighting Thanos, taking over the cosmos. That could've been fun."
She shot me a murderous glare, but I only smiled.
"Don't look at me like that," I continued. "You are a villain. Even now, you're not feeling guilt for the lives you've taken—just sadness from losing, again and again. And let's be honest, you were quite enthusiastic about conquering, weren't you?"
I symbiotically merged with Hela, a first for me, and for a few moments, she experienced the sensation of being a multiversal entity. Her soul became secondary, enveloped by mine, as I took control of her body. Reality within the shield I set up was reconstructed to suit my needs. Conjuring a mirror, I examined myself through her form.
"What a gothic look you have, Hela."
"Release me!" she demanded.
"No, just relax and cool your head," I said, feeling the immense power of death and the divine Asgardian energy coursing through me, controlling it as if it had always been mine. Weapons sprouted effortlessly from my body: necroswords, daggers, axes. Being Odin's firstborn, I also felt a deep connection to Asgard, drawing power to shape reality and manifest physical structures at will.
I went to Asgard.
