Meta Essence Gacha in Marvel-Chapter 106: Hey, I’m legal!
Eidolon P.O.V.
More than once, some of my girls asked why I'm not more proactive. In the sense of going directly at the problems that I know exist or will eventually appear, and uprooting them before they can become a problem.
Shego, Helena, Harley, Nemesis… All asked why I simply don't drop down on Latveria and rip Doom out of his armor.
There are reasons for that obviously, the Movie Minority Report said the problem of acting before things really happen. Heck, the Civil War 2 from the very Marvel universe showed why is a bad idea.
I can't go around "dealing" with people because of my half-reliable meta-knowledge. Things can still change, maybe Doom will be better… Pfft, okay. Let's go with something more believable.
Maybe some problematic but weak bastards will hold their horses and do nothing because of my presence, like Namor, the Ten Rings.
And talking about those "minor villains", Dracula is one of them on the list of "letting it go till becoming a problem". Like the Mandarin, Hydra, and others…
The other reason is that is advantageous to me to wait. I get stronger the more they wait to take action. Eidolon makes them cautious and takes their time to put their plan into practice, not knowing that they are giving time to me to grow strong.
I also don't want people like Doom to escape through some loophole in the law. I will wait for him to slip so badly that people won't mind me killing him.
Buuut… When the opportunity presents itself like this… And against someone like Dracula, a completely irreconcilable enemy… I can stop what I'm doing and put my focus on the bastard.
"So, Blade… Do you have any clues about him?" I ask the daywalker vampire hunter "I heard he was sleeping somewhere."
"And you care?" The guy that looks only 30% like Wesley Snipes asks back. I forgot that he is a little sassy.
I like your character Blade, try not to annoy me too much… Parasocial relations can only go so far.
"Obviously I care about anything that threatens the lives of the normal people…" I answer calmly, Selene moving behind me "And an ancient bloodsucker is listed as a plague in my book."
"Go to the end of the line, because this Plague is on the Top of my List." he answers, not giving an inch.
"C'mon, Eric…" I say, using his real name "Many want Dracula's head, and if I really put my mind into it, you will not have your turn. Let's work together. You want to kill Dracula, and I want to make sure that he is dead. Our interests align perfectly." I act diplomatically.
I don't want to spend a lot of time on a treasure hunt for Dracula's resting place… But I wouldn't mind taking the information from him… unwillingly.
I'm already here, after all. I can't waste the trip.
"..." He pauses and stares at me through his sunglasses. Are they to tone down his enhanced sight? Or is it just a fashion choice? I don't remember…
"Well, that's disappointing… I thought that you would be able to see the bigger picture." I shake my head "Let's go." I say to Selene, without using her name because I don't know if she is going with it.
While my vampire girl walks closer, I open my mantle to make a portal. My farewell needs to be cool too…
"If you change your mind, just press the button… I will find you." I throw a SCP emblem at him. I've already activated the tracker, by the way.
And I already registered him into Search, one of my super handy powers.
"Bye." Stretching my mantle, I make a hidden portal beneath it and disappear with Selene. The Rule of Cool should be upheld.
Blade is an anti-social guy, can't force him into that, but I can make him work for me without knowing.
And he didn't agree with the deal of me leaving Dracula to him, soooo…
I can Kill-Steal him now.
...
"Where do you want me to drop you?" I ask Selene after moving some hundred meters above in the air.
Standing on an invisible platform I observe Blade leaving the place to somewhere. He is a hard man to read, but his actions will reveal.
"You can leave me at Monster Metropolis." She says directly
"Okay. Did you discover anything new?" I ask, it's not the time of her weekly report but now that I'm here I can ask.
"Yes, the vampire circle that I was investigating was working to create a Daywalker serum… The name is self-explanatory." She says
"Well, now that is an interesting thing…" I comment "Nothing against aiming to the betterment of their species and to get rid of their fatal weakness, but it can become a tiny bit troublesome. Why don't they work in a 'Not need to drink blood serum'?" I chuckle.
"..." Selene is not the most fun person to be around, looking at me without any reaction.
"Good job in getting this information. It's in this kind of thing I'm interested." I compliment her "Any clue on where they are producing it? Or the progress?"
She shakes her head "Unfortunately that guy entered and killed everyone before I could uncover more clues."
"I see… Too bad."
"But I think they are cooperating with humans." She adds
"Hm, useful information but not by a lot… This is very broad, going for them having thralls to maybe be in a partnership with some big shots." Unfortunately, my meta-knowledge about this part of Marvel is not that good, to not say very bad.
I don't think the Blade movies will help, they are a little… old. It's like basing myself on the Ben Affleck Daredevil movie instead of the series.
Well, I can be proved wrong though. The X-Men still has some elements of the old cartoons.
"Anyway, continue the good work, Selene." I nod to her while opening a portal to Monster Metropolis "And you did the right thing by calling me."
She gives me a nod before going through the portal.
Her relationship loyalty is at 5/10. Going beyond acquaintances to the "respect/admiration" area. She is pretty loyal too.
Maybe I should give her some real boosts. Or bring her with me to drink the blood of some demons or old vampires. Like in a game, when you boost your low-level friend… Would it work tho? Is she even that type of vampire?
....
While the Blade situation is shelved, perhaps I should investigate other developing threats.
I want to deal with them swiftly, but my paranoid ass would not allow me to go head-on, so I need to gain information beforehand.
I will make a round around the world, checking everything… Especially my summons… Even the unpleasant ones.
"It's rare for you to visit me, Sir." Johan theatrically bows to me, a small smile on his creepy face.
"I'm a busy man." And you are not as cute as the others. I rather spend my time with Raven or Chun-Li… Even Juri.
"I'm sure you are." He accepts my answer easily
"Tell me some news, Johan."
I sit down on this incredibly comfy chair in his office, taking the place of the Kingpin has its perks. "Where is Uvo?"
"Guarding a certain shipment, we are being tested by other criminal organizations."
"Try not to die…" I didn't give Johan any enhancement beyond some minor powers. He can still die pretty easily "You told me that the Punisher is on your trail."
"Yes. And you don't allow me to deal with him." Johan says almost aggravated.
"He is a troubled man, but doesn't deserve death… or you." Frank Castle has a loooot of mental problems. I don't want Johan so close to him.
"He will not stop getting in my way."
"And you will push him away." I state firmly "With so many advantages, you can deal with him without killing."
"This is not a definitive solution, Sir." he replies in a calm voice, looking at me intensely "You are threading the line between good and evil, but when confronted with other people in the different spectrums of morality you are forced to choose a side."
"..."
"Previously it was an easy and obvious decision, dealing with villains like a hero. But now…" The curve of his lips grew "How you will deal with a hero while playing the role of a villain?"
"Don't try your bullshit with me, Johan." I scoff "Do you want me to kill you now?"
"Then my enjoyment would end shortly, but it would prove that you can only take this much, Sir." He replies with a calm voice.
"..." Look at this little bastard… Acting like he wins doesn't matter the outcome.
Johan Liebert
Relationship Loyalty - (08/10)
Fucking weirdo.
But a useful weirdo.
"Don't flatter yourself, Johan, I will discard you at the slight inconvenience." I stand up "And never think about you again…"
"That would be very sad." He says, still smiling.
"Anyway, don't kill the Punisher, the Daredevil, or any other hero." I command "You are smart, you can deal with this much trouble, and if not… Hmpf."
With that, I teleport away without giving him the chance to answer.
If he thinks he can affect me, he is very wrong. To him, maybe I'm his great puzzle or whatever… To me, he is a character card.
The ability to consciously choose who I care about and who I dismiss is a valuable perk that I'm learning. Everyone is equally important and unimportant till I decide otherwise.
It's a powerful thing… Be able to master your mind after peaking through the truth of the world. I'm lucky that I can observe things from a higher perspective.
.....
I go to check on another of my summons.
I wait in the discreet apartment, after messing with the vigilance devices around the room to not detect me in any way. Cortana will also edit any footage in real-time.
Having a super advanced A.I. is very useful, and I recommend it to anyone.
Maybe I should create Alexa here in this world, it can be my and Cortana's daughter, Hehe~. That is a funny idea.
While I was thinking about silly things the door of the small apartment opens and Rob Lucci enters.
The first thing he does is notice me but his pigeon flies from the table and lands on his shoulder. Then he momentarily forgets about me.
He must miss his pet. It was a little troublesome to keep Hattori away from Cathulhu, but I kept him safe. He was only eaten two times…
"How was the mission, Rob Lucci?" I ask casually, as he goes on an errand to buy some groceries instead of killing a certain defense secretary.
It's okay because the guy was involved with some nasty shit.
"It was completed." He answers in a flat tone. Why I am always surrounded by murderers or crazy people? Sometimes the two.
I have devils, killing machines, criminals… Isabella literally raised kids like cattle.
Thankful I have people like Edna Mode and Tsukasa but is not enough.
I think I will summon Static Shock, I need more family-friendly people around me.
"I see… Only doing a routine check-up. Tell me the details about the Winter Soldier." I say very interested.
Recently Robb Lucci made a breakthrough in his investigation when he was moved to the base where Hydra stores their super soldiers, including the famous Winter Soldier, or James Buchanan Barnes, or how Steve would call him… Bucky.
Lucci starts "After a completed mission, instead of taking me back to the usual base, they made me sleep and took me there…" He explains in detail the secret facility, telling how he was presented to some higher-ups and scientists who want to study him.
They reinforced the brainwashing too, to make him more loyal.
He also saw the frozen super soldiers.
"When did that happen, specifically?" I ask
"Two days ago, two and thirteen in the morning."
"Hm, at that time you are…" I remember his exact movements because of my powers and the nano-trackers "Yep, it was not Siberia, as expected." But now I know where they are.
I stand up and say my goodbyes "Thanks, I'm gonna check on them."
"Are you gonna deal with them now?"
"Too early, we still haven't become aware of all the heads of the Hydra." I say with a small smile "Let them make the first move. If things go well we will take them and S.H.I.E.L.D. together."
Not that I don't trust Fury, buuuut… The guy has limits.
Ironically, the bigger the Organization that takes care of the world, the less it can really take care of the world. I bet Fury does a good job, he probably has a lot of dirt of important people that gives him leverage to do what he wants and acts the best he can, buuuut… It's not enough.
It will be better in my hands, or even if is not in my hands, when I am able to cooperate fully with it.
Let's go check the first sidekick.
.....
"Hello, Bucky Barnes." I observe the frozen friend of Steve, checking his vitals and everything else "Nice prosthetic arm. I want to make it more accessible to everyone… Don't you think is unfair that you have one since when? The 60s? And normal people still have to use crutches?" I playfully tsk tsk in front of him. Should I take a selfie?
Jokes aside, this facility is very well guarded from the outside, but when you enter, it becomes a joke. That's why I'm very relaxed now.
"I hope you don't mind the things that I'm gonna put in your body… Relax, it will only lock and electrocute you." I joke "Sorry for not saving you now, but it would be too obvious… Like, who else could do it, right?"
They would know that this location and their very existence are compromised. You need to wait for the fish to take a very good bite, a chomp so strong that the hook would stick on their flesh and make them putty on my hands. I will only need to pull the line…
That's how you fish villains out of their evil lairs.
...…..
I will go see my future wife now.
"Raven, I talked with the Ancient One, we can go there now." I teleport in the middle of her leaving the room with a big smile on my face. I retracted my half-mask for her.
"..." She gives me a look over her book, her eyes staring at me in a deadpan "Don't teleport in other people's houses." Her bored and grumpy voice is music to my ears
"What is the problem? What is yours is mine and what is mine and yours. We are one person…"
"No, we are not." She cuts me off while standing up "But let's go visit your magic friend." She moves to her room, to change to her official new hero clothes.
Her new attire, made by Edna, is mostly the same except that it covers her legs… Because they are only for me.
"Don't be disrespectful, the guy is powerful." I comment while she closes the door.
This is one of those moments where my will is tested… Just a small use of X-ray and I will be blessed with a show without a price.
But I'm stronger than this! I have my pride and the day I gaze at her nude form, it will be by her own will, not a sneaky peek. I will look for as long as I want.
...….
Later, after Raven dons her cloak, I take her to Kamar-Taj.
"We kinda combine…" I say to her, gesturing to my mantle.
"Hmpf, on in your head." She turns her head and moves away from me.
Haha, act like that as much as you want, girl. I know that I'm slowly melting your defenses.
The opposite of love is indifference, not this that you are doing. I would be sad if you did not react to my teasing.
We walk a little more, greeting some monks and students on the way.
"So there's really a place that teaches magic…" I hear Raven muttering.
"Is that surprising?" I ask. Aren't there places like this in DC?
"Most of the magic techniques and research is inherited on my universe… Passed down to only descendants or to a few disciples." She says. Like Zatanna, I guess. "Great concentration of magic users like this normally appear on… cults… or isolated pocket dimensions."
"..." Oh, that is a sensitive subject, I bet.
Her mother was part of the cult of Trigon before they were saved by the people from Azarath, it's her whole Origin Story.
But I guess she is right, magic is more… fucked up in DC. And yes, this is the best way to describe… Fucked up.
The whole "magic always has a price" thing is fucked up. Magic users are fucked by magic all the time, paying heavy prices.
Except if you are a Homo Magi, so I guess you have… mana? Don't know. I will need to go there and study the biology of a Homo Magi.
I remember even Constantine was not free from this… He is not all-powerful.
Well, there's Doctor Fate, but again… It's a heavy price you pay to be possessed by another. And it's kinda inherited too, like Shazam's powers.
Magic is more obscure in DC than in Marvel and consequently, much less fun.
"We are here." I say to her as we arrive in front of the double doors of the Ancient One's personal room.
I unceremoniously open the doors, I bet this guy spies on me, so I need to level the game a little.
"Oh, already here?" He turns to us from the place where he is pouring some tears.
"As if you didn't know." I roll my eyes at this guy.
He strokes his huge goatee while his eyes shine with amusement "It is not because I know the happening, that I can't enjoy them when happens."
"English dude, do you speak it?" I roll my eyes again "Old people love talking in a complicated way to appear wise." I turn to Raven. "You can ignore him."
"..." She only gives me a strange while I introduce her.
"This is Raven, my wife.
"No, I'm not!" She denies fast.
"Okay, future wife." I correct myself while her glare intensifies. "She had some trouble with her magic before, but I guess the 'limitation' is gone now… I would like to ask for some guidance for her to explore her potential." Now I talk much more humbly to the guy.
We fool around a little, but I'm asking for a favor. We could learn by trial and error alone, but it would take a lot of time… And trials and errors are often dangerous.
"A demonic heritage, hm?" I'm not surprised that he can see it with just one glance. "There's a lot of power in your blood, miss. I guess you…" He gestures to us while sitting down.
"Creator." Raven says tightly while sitting after I pull a chair to her. She doesn't acknowledge Trigon as a father but as a creator.
"...creator…" The Ancient One repeats in understanding and connects with his explanation "...is a very powerful demonic being. The level that commands an entire dimension."
Yes, he is good. "Correct again. Any suggestion?"
"You must have lived a hard life, child." Yao sighs while giving Raven a melancholic look "You controlled your powers all your life, right? Never delving into your heritage and limiting your potential… And consequently the influence of your creator over you."
"Yes…" Raven nods
"There is really nothing much I can do… I can suggest some books, tell your stories of similar people in the past, but if you want counsel, I only have one." He leans back on his chair, and takes a sip of his tea before continuing "Create your own magic." He finally says
"Hm? I can see this being a good step for any magic user, but how does this help Raven right now and specifically?" I ask, noticing Raven's confusion too.
"Very simple." He puts his teacup down "You only scratched the surface of your powers, everything from now is unexplored territory. You should make it yours…"
Makes sense, makes sense…
He continues "Don't think it will be easy, you will unconsciously associate your powers with your creator, you will copy him… You need to fight that urge." He looks at Raven seriously "But at the same time, you can't reject it completely. It is hard to balance but that is what is this about… Balance. Many people in your situation always struggle with balance. Hating their parts that resemble their heritage, trying to deny it… Sometimes you need to accept that what is yours is yours, even if is a little similar to your creator. You won't like it but it will be a good exercise to help with your mental blocks."
"..." Raven looks like she is thinking hard about it. And yes, I can see how complicated is that.
"Another piece of advice that I can give is that you should keep in mind that your creator is much older than you and probably explored almost everything of your powers that there is, so you shouldn't feel disheartened if you create something similar… It's inevitable. What matters is the feeling that you made it. You made it not by copying him but because you want." He ends with an encouraging smile and he goes to pour more tea into his cup.
I decide to say something too "As a guy with a lot of powers, I can give some advice… If you find it hard where to start, look at what you like. It's easy to work with things you enjoy." That's the principle of how Nen Users create their abilities.
"I don't have many things that I like…" Raven says in a bored voice
I shrug "Anything goes… For example, let's say that you develop a spell that creates an animal construct of magic… Use the shape and form of an animal that you like. I guess a raven, right? You also like reading, books, dark places, being alone, languages… If you want to stretch it, you can maybe create magic related to the things you dislike, it's part of your personality and being too, you know? Like the fact that you can't cook, dislike high noises, it is disgusted by chickens, don't like wearing dresses… what?" I stop myself after noticing they looking at me strangely.
The Ancient One laughs but Raven looks at me with disgust before turning her face.
"Creep."
Hey! It's just that I'm a nerd, and she is my fictional crush!
"*Ahem* There's nothing wrong with me knowing things about my wife…" I reply shamelessly "Anyway, emotions- despite your fight to not show them- are a huge part of you. Maybe you should work with that too." I suggest
If I remember well, many of her powers derive from her emotions and when she gains control she becomes white… I think is her strongest form. Or is the one that she accepts her heritage and goes full demon? Red-skinned Demonic Raven also is good…
"I will thank you for your advice." She ignores me and bows her head to the Ancient One.
"Don't worry, it's my duty to guide the young ones in the path of Magic. You not falling into darkness, but controlling it is a double victory to the world." He waves his hand dismissively.
Then he turns to me "I imagine that you want to ask me to allow her to stay here for some time…"
"You imagined it right." I confirm "Nothing is created, everything is copied… She can at least study here and get some inspiration. When you mix a lot of things that already exist, maybe a new thing appears."
"That's fine. The doors of Kamar-Taj are always open to the ones that want to learn." He agrees easily. He is a pretty chill old man.
"Another thing…" Let's ask now so that I can abuse of his goodwill just one time "How do you make a safe portal to Hell?" I ask.
"..."
"..."
Once again they look at me strangely. What? I have plans.
"Didn't you read the books about it?" The Ancient One asks
"Aren't they prohibited?" I raise my eyebrow
"Not for you… I told Wong to allow you to read whatever you want."
"..." Whattaheck!? Wong! Well… This is mostly my fault, my overthinking mind guessed the prohibited book and didn't even try taking a peek at the dangerous session.
New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.
This is what I gained from following the rules… I simply did not want to abuse the hospitality.
"Alright then…" I sigh "Let's check the books now, Raven." I stand up and she follows.
With a goodbye to the Ancient One, we move to the library. He said that he would arrange a room for Raven.
"You are gonna stay here for a while, Raven. It's quiet, exactly how you like it, but a little isolated from modernity… I will drop by to bring you some things." I say
"Please don't." She says immediately and heartlessly.
"One day you will be honest with your feelings."
"What feelings?"
Heh~, she is tough.
"We are here." I announce as I open the doors to the library "Hi, Wong."
"Eidolon… You are back." He says in an expressionless voice, giving me a bow of courtesy, but I think he doesn't like me very much.
"Still listening to Beyoncé? Don't get attached, I was investigating some strange things about Hollywood and- Hey, let me guide you, Raven."
Noticing Raven starting to move alone, I follow her while telling Wong that she will stay here for a while and to take care of her.
"The Demonology section is in this direction." I say to Raven while trying to grab her hand, she avoids it but follows me "Of course, I recommend reading everything that you can but I understand that is not everyone that can do the same as me. Just ask if you need something, and I can compile the information for you."
"Fine…" She says, but I guess she is the type that doesn't ask for help. Like me…
While we are passing through a corridor, our destination much deeper in the Library, I point to the rows of books "This section here is about very simple, but sometimes useful, spells… Very basic. You can check it out pretty easily."
Turning her head she starts reading the spine "Manipulating the Land… 101 Traveller's spells… Simple Divination… Start to Discover the Mysteries of the Soul… All Spells to a Convenient Life… Fireball, the only spell you need!" Her voice gains a strange edge to each word she reads
Yeah, some are strange, and with weirdly modern titles… I asked who wrote them and how the Ancient One got his hands on them, but for some reason, he only laughed.
Maybe it was him, and he created them just to troll the stoic monks.
"This one can be useful to you…" I take the Start to Discover the Mysteries of the Soul from the shelf and put it on her hand "Has a lot of spells that allow one to diagnose souls and learn more about them. See if is cursed, your talents and affinities…"
She opens the book and starts reading " Discover who you are in your last life?"
"That one is a disappointment… I tried and showed only me." I comment it's kinda not wrong though, but I suddenly remember something. "Wait a minute…"
I take the book from her hands and flip through the pages "Here… A spell to check the age of the soul…" When I read it before I didn't think much of it, but this can answer a certain doubt of mine.
"What about it?" She takes the book from my hands and reads the spell.
"I want to know what my summons are…" I raise one hand to her.
"?"
A magic circle appears on my hand and moves in her direction while spinning, reaching her body the magic circle sinks into her as she is involved in a bright light.
"I want to know if you are really you, Raven. Or if you are something like a Soul Clone of the real Raven. I already confirmed that your body is new…" Some summons are fully healed of certain scars when they arrive… Even their virginities…
"That will not give me an existential crisis at all…" She says with her voice dripping with sarcasm.
The light that envelops her concentrates on her first before starting a slow ascending, like a halo that scans her being… Her soul.
When it reaches the top of her head, the hallo leaves her body and floats before showing the numbers…
"17… That's my age." She looks up "So I'm not a clone created to exist only to your sick desires." She huffs
"Don't be like that." I smile and play with her a little.
I'm relieved… They are real… I sigh in my heart. I don't know, this gave me a certain… I don't know. I feel like a weight left my heart.
"Now you." She suddenly says and while reading the open book she points her hand to me.
"I must be 17, because of my time in the One Piece world, now too… We are the same age, Babe." I tease but she only rolls her eyes and casts the spell.
The same thing that happened to her happens to me, no surprise at all… But for some reason, Raven's eyes indeed show surprise.
Her mouth slowly opens, her jaw dropping while she looks above my head.
"What? Did it fail because of my high resistance or something" I look up and the number that shows shocks even me…
+9.999.999.999
...….
"So you are just gonna ignore that?" Raven gives me a side glance while we read the books of the Demonology section.
I shrug my shoulders "I have some theories… No need to worry much for something that I will not have a definitive answer now."
"Very laidback… But I guess that is expected of some that is 10 billion years old." She says sassily.
Pfft, this girl… She can be funny when she wants.
And the spell showed that number because is the limit… I can be older… Much older…
"Funny that I'm probably older than our universe… But not that surprising. It's not like I have 10 billion years worth of memories anyway." I explain. It really does not change anything for me.
"Why is not that surprising? Do you know why your soul is so old?"
"More or less. I figured out that my soul was powerful when I started learning magic… The idea came to my mind." That and the fact that I assimilate many characters. But even with the age of all of them combined, it does not reach 10 billion years.
"And why is that?"
"Curious, huh?" I tease a little "But I will not hide it from my wife. I'm not from this universe, I reincarnated here. I remember my last life too, albeit very similar to this one…" I only hid the fact that everything was fictional.
"I'm not your wif- Wait, did you reincarnate?"
"Yeah, so when I discovered that my soul was very strong and robust, the idea came to mind…" I say with a distant gaze "Maybe my soul traveled through countless multiverses till reach here… for countless years… through an immeasurable distance. Going through the void, barriers, and all kinds of challenges… Almost dissipating but persevering and adapting… getting stronger…"
"..." She nods in understanding "Makes sense."
"Right?" And we go back to reading in silence, sometimes I recommend some books to her.
What I didn't tell Raven is my other theory…
I just discovered that she was really 17 years old and not a soul clone created at the moment I summoned her… But… What about me?
What if I was created artificially?
I can imagine that… I can imagine myself doing that!!
Another Hector… Incredibly powerful and old, after doing everything that he wants to do around the Omniverse… He takes a tiny bit part of his soul… This explains the quality of my soul, as a part of a higher being, I can't be ordinary.
Then this other Hector put this little soul somewhere to be tempered and strengthened… For countless years, cultivating me… This explains my age and the power of my soul.
Then he put me here.
This would explain a lot of things and is the theory that I am almost 80% sure of.
Obviously, I can still be only a really lucky dude who hit the jackpot, but for real… I don't believe that I'm this special or lucky.
There's also the fact that maybe it was not another Hector and is a ROB… But this is a little too terrifying to think and the Essence proved many times to be an ally and never made any move to manipulate me.
Like those Systems that give missions in the novels and fanfics I read in my other life.
Well… Whatever… Harley told me to stop worrying about things I can't control.
What can I do beyond continuing to do the same thing that I'm doing???
Gettings stronger and living my life in this path I've chosen.
"By the way, why do you want to open a portal to Hell?" She suddenly asks
"To do what every man would do if they can open a portal to Hell, Raven." I make a deep and somber voice like Jake from Adventure Time in those comical moments "Rip and Tear."
"All men are dumb then…" She says with a deadpan expression, sounding completely done.
She doesn't understand the romance… The calling… To walk alone on a swamp of demon blood and guts of my own making while listening to Death Metal, instilling fear in those soulless beings so that they can finally feel the mortality that we humans are so used to!
*Death metal Riff*
...…
I go back to the Space Station because tonight is the night…
Time to the Gacha!
But at this moment is day… Well… I'm in space. Whatever, it was 11 Am when I left New York.
So after so many things, another Gacha but for the first time in a long time, I haven't completed the assimilation of my initial Templates.
Sinbad, Darth Vader, and the Father.
Haah~ That's why I always started with the weak ones. Unfortunately this time none of the weak ones are really interesting.
The lack of progress can also be attributed to my lack of training. I did a lot of other things, studied, training in other ways… But not those Templates specifically.
That's why they are stagnated at the +95%.
What can I say? It's the Dawn of Superheroes.
A lot of villains are appearing left and right and the heroes haven't yet caught up.
The Call to heroism is slower than the Temptation to Villainy.
Obviously, some heroes are appearing, like how recently the Avengers announced their new member, Wonder Man.
Yep, strong guy. I will see if I can copy his powers later. He is absolutely one of the heavy hitters of the heroes.
But overall, petty villains are appearing much more. And the Avengers rarely care about those small cases. The timeline is also advancing so I was preparing for the trouble ahead by keeping an eye on the people of interest.
Like Bucky with the Winter Soldier movie. I also took a look at the people involved in the Iron Man 3 movie, the A.I.M. and the Mandarin. And in the MCU timeline, the Ultron is also close, so I was watching Hank Pym and Stark.
I hope it will take longer, but I have Cortana.
Anyway, I'm about to gain new cards but I still haven't fully assimilated the last ones. That can't do…
So I will try today. Exercise all of the Force, practice with Sinbad's Metal Vessels, and…
"Hello, Shou Tucker…" I greet the man bound and gagged to the metal table, looking at me with fear
…and experiment with Alchemy.
"I heard you liked doing human experiments…" I chuckle while looking at him "I don't…. Can you tell me your secret?"
"Mff! MPff! Mnnn"
"Hm?" I can't hear you. I put my ear close to him as a mockery "Too bad…" I raise my hand and put it above his body.
"Mmmph!" He shakes violently. I already had a talk with him, that's why he is so fearful.
"...it seems that I need to figure it out on my own." I say before I start
Let's see what happens when a summon dies…
And yep, I still don't like this.
