69

I decided to bring about mutants, I will first give them protectors, and then I will make it slightly easier for the X Gene to activate.

'Joel, that underground building of the Kree, it had the creation process for the Inhumans and the mist. I will set it to run with the other serums we discovered.'

'Thanks Lilly.' Although with my abilities its currently not much use, it is good to know we got something out of it. If we can perfect it I will no longer need to activate and perfect any followers.

Now, my Alpha and Omega will eventually become me, so let's see. This universe is missing a Light and Dark force, oh this is so going to mess with the Ancient one in this universe.

I smirk and easily allow those who are a match for the Alpha or Omega to be able to tap into it, naturally, it is a one-way street and I can break and make any connections I want. This should also ensure that a certain couple of teenagers live in this universe, where else they would have died.

Oh, interesting, that was fast. I look into the Omega dimension and see a faint connection. I follow it to a very old church, and below it I see an old hag chained up, around her are life crystals, it seems someone means to kill her by absorbing her life force.

A Monk walks in, in his hands he has a cage and an empty crystal. He nears a full crystal and exchanges them, then, without even glancing at the old hag slides the cage to the hag, it can now be seen the cage has a rope on it.

As it nears the woman she eagerly grabs it and within moments the rat within withers to old age while the woman shows a light improvement.

I see, she was born with her X gene active, very rare, life force absorption. The church found her a very long time ago and kept her as a charger for the crystals.

Without a Dark Force, she never connected to it and was unable to use it to greatly enhance herself, her powers, and her magic. Selene Gallio in this universe was a poor creature indeed.

Well now, she was born linked to me as her God, I sure as hell was not going to abandon her.

'Selene, have you managed to remain sane my child?'

Selene was born over 17000 years ago, she has seen a lot, and although her magic is weak, she knows the occult well.

'You have me at a disadvantage." she responds instantly, much better than I had hoped for.

'Lord Paragon, God of all Awakened. I recently came to this Universe to see my children and found very few.'

Although she might not believe me, this might be a way out for her, 'Greetings Lord, for the longest time I thought I was alone, I have seen very few with powers like mine.'

'Very well, I plan to change a few things, but first I control the Alpha and Omega, the Light and the Dark. The moment I created my Dark Force it reached to you. Therefore my Black Priestess I shall give you a chance to bloom, I ask only one thing in exchange.'

'Lord, are you saying I will get access to your dimension of Dark energy? Your Dark Force? What is the price?'

I send the information I have into her mind, a club that can do both good and bad, "Create and Rule, either yourself or from the shadows the Hell Fire Club for as long as it can be maintained.'

'I agreed to my Lord's deal' With that I opened her connection to Omega more, allowing the force to not only empower her and her powers but restore her youth, the Life crystals around her started to shatter one after another as red dust filled the area.

The air around Selene Gallio shimmered as if the very universe bent to accommodate the surge of power that coursed through her. She arched her back and threw her head back, eyes closed and lips parted in an expression of pure ecstasy. Her already weak but impressive abilities were amplified, made more potent and dangerous by the channeling energy. As her connection to Omega strengthened, an aura of indescribable darkness surged like a stormy sea around her.

The dress she wore, a simplistic garment before, transformed under the onslaught of this new energy. It clung to her form like a second skin, sleek and black as obsidian. Falling in rippling waves down her body till it reached her ankles where it flared out slightly, making her seem as if she was stepping out of the shadows themselves. The dress was highlighted by iridescent threads that glowed with an otherworldly light, seeming to mirror the very star sky itself.

Her hair, once flecked with hints of grey, turned deeply black, each strand glistening under the moonlight like strands of midnight silk. Her face, previously etched with lines born from harsh years and even harsher battles smoothed into flawless porcelain. Her eyes glowed with an ethereal silver light, they were beautiful and terrifying at once.

As the red dust from the shattered Life crystals rose in swirling clouds around Selene Gallio's newly rejuvenated form, an aura of power radiated off her; it was akin to standing at the edge of a hurricane. Surrounding monks recoiled in fear yet remained rooted on the spot, part awe-struck and part terrified.

With a flick of her wrist, tendrils of shadow snaked out from under her dress, they moved with predatorial grace and cold purpose. Selene barely glanced at the terrified monks as she lazily pointed a finger toward them, an unspoken command hung in the air between her and her shadowy tendrils.

One by one, the hapless monks fell, each with an expression of absolute horror etched into their features. The last thing they saw was the terrifyingly beautiful face of Selene Gallio, the last thing they felt was her cold, dark power. Their bodies hit the floor, stirring up more red dust that billowed around the still-standing figure.

The deed done, she strode out of the church like a Goddess descending to Earth, Selene raised her head towards the midnight sky, a look of smug satisfaction gracing her features. The forces of darkness had found their Queen in her. And she wore her crown well, ready to rule from shadows and create her reign through the Hell Fire Club that now awaited its new leader.

I smiled and nodded, now balanced. My Priestess of the Dark Force was very powerful, so I would need more than one to balance her, but balance did not mean it needed someone from the Light, just someone to oppose.

I cast my gaze once again over the Earth. Oh, there we go, I was wondering how long it would take her to find Alpha and Omega.

I am guessing she currently thinks it is a new Dimensional Lord and as long as she can get in early she can make a contract to use the dimensional power.

I look over her location, no additional wards or traps, well it makes sense, she would never expect an entity like myself to exist.

I vanish and am sitting across from this Universe Ancient one, strangely her soul looks just like her. After a few seconds I talk, "It's rude if you keep poking around others' homes you know."

She returned to her body with great speed, then looked at me without batting an eye, "So is entering another's home without permission."

"Oh, I have permission, none of your defenses went off did they?" I smirk as I reply

I see her eyes dark about for a moment, checking all the wards and spells.

"Did you convert one of my students?" she asks and I start chuckling.

"Nope, I converted, as you put it, you."

It takes only a moment for her to realize, "You travel the multiverse."

"Oh, much more than that, I am Lord Paragon, God of all Awakened, Do you use the name Ciar still?"

She arches a brow, "No." Oh, think I hit a sore spot.

"Anyways, I already made a deal with your other self about using the energy from my dimension. Do you want me to summon her so you two can chat?"

"It would be best." Oh cold, I think I really hit a sore spot.

"Lady Morrigan, Goddess of Magic, I summon thee."

Kneeling before me an amazing beautiful woman, I am always stunned by her looks. "You could have just … Oh, I see. WHY DID YOU SHAVE OUR HAIR?"

I decided it was a good time to leave and go to my home.
