Chapter 113: The Brotherhood
I had the Soul Stone inside my spatial storage and if I wanted to use the stone, I had to bring it out— which was the reason I had Eitri make the holder. In a month, I shall have the holder and when I have it… I will be prepared to fight Kang.
I landed in NYC when I received a call from Magnus. I was supposed to look for Morgan but had to delay...
Chapter 112: High Evolutionary
Surrounding Eitri's workshop with a barrier, I left to find the Soul Stone.
But even if I reach the location, recovering the stone would be pretty difficult.
The soul stone was in the hands of a very powerful being. And while it may not be as difficult to obtain as the power stone… It's still pretty complex to obt...
Chapter 11: Eitri, The Dwarvan King
After getting off the phone, I took a deep breath.
I didn't have time and currently— I was wasting it, which I cannot afford to do any further.
So, after hanging up, I calmed myself and sat comfortably on a couch.
I wasn't taking a break… not exactly.
As I sat there, I got rid of all the unnecessary ...
Chapter 110: Training with the Order
"It's fine if you all attack at once."
I taunted everyone within the training hall. And Sable being the hotblooded one— rushed at me with her staff.
For her, I didn't need to use any of my powers and easily snatched the staff using only martial arts skills.
I was about to land a hit on her but sh...
Chapter 109: Soul Stone
Kang the Conqueror is strong and to defeat him, I need all the help that I can get. Strange is a good addition but he is not enough.
I need people to fight Kang's army when I take him on. While I can gather people to fight his army— I need to find ways to face Kang and come out victorious.
I sat on my throne at the Order's headquarters with...
Chapter 108: The Inhumans
[[Markus Hanley]]
Speaking with Dr. Strange made me realise that I needed soldiers to fight for me.
Or more precisely, I needed cannon fodder.
And it is impossible to use humans as cannon fodder as despite them being sacrificial pawns, I need people that can hold the likes of Kang and Blackheart for at least a few ...
Chapter 107: Doctor Strange
Stephen Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme and the Master of the Mystic Arts.
He was a person stronger than the Ancient One and even Morgan le Fay. But above all, he was the balance keeper of this world.
Fixing spatial rifts, closing time loops were a few of the things that he was needed for— but that was not why I was here today.
Chapter 106: A Lunch Chat
"You didn't have to go that far…" James sneered as Bobby and Scott recovered using the recuperation device. "If they were not in the Danger Room, they would have died."
"Maybe. But trust me, I was barely trying." I sighed. "They are good, but not enough. However... I know you can train them well, James."
He grunted as he was still...
Chapter 105: A Training Session
The X-Men had a special training room called the Danger Room that Xavier built after encountering the Shadow King.
Shadow King was an immortal mind controller that many might even consider him to be an abstract being— but compared to the rest, he was extremely weak.
Markus fought him during his quest to get rid of beings that could...
Chapter 104: Jean Grey and Kitty Pryde
Jean Grey, the host of the Phoenix force and if trained, possibly the Phoenix of the white crown— stood before me with wide eyes.
"How ya' been?"
She seemed too shell-shocked to process my words and all she could afford to mutter was—
"M-Markus?"
Jean is Xavier's first student who he found when he...
Chapter 103: Markus Hanley, The Son of Marcellus
[Year: 1996]
[[Charles Francis Xavier]]
Running a school for the gifted can be stressful at times but most of the time, it is fulfilling.
I remember the time when being a mutant was frowned upon, mutants were seen as the spawns of the devil.
While a few people still hate mutants...
Chapter 102: Deaths
[1985]
[[Marcellus Hanley]]
Human life is a lot more fragile than we think. A person laughing a day prior might be resting in his grave the following day.
But something that is even more fragile than life— is a heart.
Humans tend to love and trust people easily, and us being the creatures of sin… cannot help but break t...
Chapter 101: 20 Years Later and Mutant Rights
[1973, Manhattan]
The borough of Manhattan was bustling— way more than usual. People from different cities, states and nations had flooded the streets of Manhattan.
Street vendors seized the opportunity and started selling their products to all the visitors while the police made sure that no fights broke out.&nb...
Chapter 100: The Wedding
"Everyone remember that I will not accept any mistakes for this event! One mistake and you are fired!" Joel roared which made the event organizers nod vigorously.
"Don't worry, Sir. Everything is moving exactly as planned."
Nodding at the man, Joel rushed out of the hall to meet Marcel's mother.
"Mrs. Hanley, are you ready?" H...
Chapter 99: A Stroll
[Months Later]
[[Marcellus Hanley]]
I flew over the city while making sure that no one saw me. I activated my invisibility that thanks to the Sentry serum now had no cooldown.
As I flew, I thought of everything that I did.
Got a few new members for Order, some notable while the rest were not. Had my engagemen...
Chapter 98: The Braddocks
Europe was an interesting place.
Unlike America, where beings with superpowers had to stay hidden— European ones didn't have to.
At least, not completely.
There were a few beings that were active… and the Europeans didn't mind. Contrary to the Americans who hunted them down because of fear.
But the biggest r...
Chapter 97: The Secrets of the Diary
"Can you make me an underground lair, Krakoa?"
The behemoth of a face nodded and created a tunnel that led down.
"Thank you."
Walking down, I kept rearranging and recreating the underground pathway according to my wish. Once I realised that I was deep enough, I created a massive room and using mole...
Chapter 96: Drive
Looking at the confusion on their faces— I proceeded to explain.
"It will be a law that will ensure that no powered beings use their abilities to cause harm while the normal humans will be prevented from harming the powered beings under this law. If one of them tries to marginalise the other, it will be a punishable crime." I explained.
"B...
Chapter 95: S.H.I.E.L.D
After dealing with Krakoa I was left with the task of setting up the infrastructure and technology. As a sentient island, Krakoa could understand others and help with their needs. Things like food, water, herbs or basic shelter was not an issue. It was even able to successfully erect a town at my words.
I promised Krakoa to help find his lost sist...
Capter 94: Eutopia
After the light died out, the only thing left on my table was a small piece of paper. As I picked it up, I noticed the black ink used to write on it.
Focusing on the important part, I read the note.
It was a single sentence. One single sentence that was being protected by a cosmic level lock.
'Search for the holy black inlaid with...
Chapter 93: The Wooden Box
Everything about my current situation felt surreal. I was not sure if things would have ended the way I envisioned— but thankfully they did.
It was funny seeing her panic and hearing her imagination run wild during the trip. But most importantly, I am glad that she accepted.
I felt a sense of relief spread throughout my body as ...
Chapter 92: Will you... Marry Me?
"Mom." I called as I saw my mother doing the laundry. "I told you to leave the laundry to the maids."
But she never listens.
"Or you will end up with severe back pain in the future." I warned but all I received as an answer— was a smile.
She ended up doing the entire laundry on her own before speaking.
Chapter 91: Selene the Immortal
Dealt with Hand and snatched Sakki— which I have yet to test.
Erased Hydra and found the monoliths.
Killed Hive, mimicked his powers and got a planet under me.
That's all I did after taking the Sentry serum.
I expected to find myself struggling with the Void but the Void inside meâ€...
Chapter 90: The Cthulhu Knock-off, Hive
Monoliths are some of the few things from this universe that I barely know about. I know that they are extremely dangerous and that the Kree monolith was used to exile Hive.
The other three together form the Di'Allas— a singular monolith that can send beings through time and space.
But it also includes the creation a...
Chapter 89: Joel...
Stab, stab, stab, stab…
Blood spurted all over the place but Joel didn't stop stabbing the last Hydra soldier. His rage had taken over his sanity.
He cried as his hands stained was in red, but his rage was still not appeased.
"Joel..." I called but he didn't listen.
Betty and Domino looked at him in w...
Chapter 88: Begone Hydra!
"Sir, we are almost at the location!"
I kept staring at the ocean with my legs hanging out of the helicopter door.
"How long?" I asked.
"Ten minutes approx." The pilot answered.
There are three Hydra bases that are currently active. I had sent Deadpool, James and Moonknight to deal with the se...
Chapter 87: A Talk with Joel
"Come here, boy."
Mavros rushed towards me and started nuzzling my leg.
I picked him up and took out a collar that I had asked Lennon to design. And I had worked on it too using my biokinesis.
As I placed the collar on him, his body shrunk and he turned from a panther to a black cat.
Perfect.
Chapter 86: Powers of a God
[[Marcellus Hanley]]
I felt power surging through my veins and knowledge of the world being fed to me.
I could sense, feel and understand the world and its truth. I understood every composition, every energy and every thought.
"So this is how a god feels?" I clenched my fists, enjoying my newly found powers.
Chapter 85: A New God
I went through countless trails— each from a specific event of my past life.
Some of them involved correcting past mistakes while the rest involved making new ones.
But the Void was entertained.
Surprisingly, other than the Emilia event— he kept whispering in all other tests.
"Congrat...
Chapter 84: The Test
*Drip* *Drip* *Drip*
"*Arrgh*"
I was woken up by the dripping water droplets from the ceiling. And once, I opened my eyes— I was struck by confusion.
I was in a shed with a leaking roof.
"Markus! Wake up, you lil' shit!"
What?
"It's me Eric! Wake up!"
No.
I felt my hear...
