Chapter Twenty-five(25)

[Do away with him] A voice filled with malice said, the voice came from The Living Tribunal and James wasn't all that surprised by this after all the Living tribunal got his name because each of his faces embodied something that allowed him to judge fairly.

[He has done nothing] Another voice said

"I'm sorry, I didn't do anything please spare me" James pleaded, the Living Tribunal was on a whole different level compared to most characters of the Marvel Multiverse, three post-retcon Beyonders were required just to do away with him. His Wiki states that he is only inferior to The One Above All in power. An Adam Warlock with the man's powers said that he could wipe out the Beyonders meaning that the only reason that this LT lost was because he actually didn't know how to fight.

This guy was on a whole different level of power, James didn't want to be on his bad side….. well not like he had a choice after all if the Living Tribunal decides to erase him then he has absolutely no way to retaliate. Tenth Metal could help but before he can amass the amount of Tenth Metal needed to match the Living Tribunal in power, he would be long dead.

[No one plans to kill you child, I called you here to understand your purpose in this universe] The Living Tribunal replied

"Oh….Ohh!" James said in realization, he was about to gain power beyond what was necessary and normally the Living Tribunal wouldn't care but he wasn't a part of the Marvel Multiverse, he was an outsider so as the protector and the one who embodies the entire Marvel Multiverse or Omniverse. It is his duty to ensure that relative peace reigns.

"I don't have plans for the Universe, talkless of the Multiverse, I just have plans for Earth. As long as my family and friends are safe, I have zero problems" James replied, much more relaxed than before.

[As the protector of this Multiverse, I am charged to ensure it doesn't get destroyed by any means…. I will take your word for it but know this, should you harbour any dark intentions for the Multiverse at large, I will ensure your death] The Living Tribunal threatened, sending a chill down James's spine.

The words itself didn't matter, it was just the fact that they were coming from the Living Tribunal. This was a man or being who can do anything to do its job, that was his purpose and duty in life and he was damn good at it until the arrival of the Beyonders.

"I know sir, don't worry I don't have that sort of ambition, the highest I see myself going is becoming an Intergalactic Empire" James reassured him

[We hope that ambition remains the same when the Multiverse needs your help]

"Oh if the Multiverse needs my help then I will help but I'mma upgrade my ambition to ruling a universe, I see it as a reward for my work"

[That is none of my concern] The Living Tribunal said then vanished.

"Okay, that was weird, was he asking for help or threatenin…. Argh!!!" James shouted as he suddenly felt himself being pulled back by something.

1st POV

London,

A certain Politician's house.

England is really a very beautiful place, it has this more calming and relaxing atmosphere than most parts of the world. Guess this is what made people believe that most British people just sit around and drink tea…. Well some of them do but you get what I mean, this place is just wonderful, the scenery is just through the roof. I have to admit James Jaspers was really enjoying, no I mean this guy has an entire manor to himself.

He was just a politician but it was clear that this guy came from a filthy rich background and add that to the amount he makes as a politician, a dirty one for that matter then you understand just where this guy stands. Currently everything was on a stand still, the flying insects were all frozen in mid air, the birds hanging in the air, the guards frozen in their position, I stopped time.

This was a feat that came easy when you have enough practice with omnipotent powers like Reality warping. With the Living Tribunal, basically showing me that he doesn't care if I rule a universe or not, which means, I can do things like wear gauntlets made entirely of Tenth Metal. These little bracelet looking gauntlets allow me to warp reality on a planetary scale which is a lot considering that allows me to basically overthrow the entire government with nothing but a thought.
