Chapter 19: Lesson learned

To be honest, I was definitely not expecting that cliche I see in every good marvel/magic quality fanfic where the student just gets absolutely humbled by her; her overpowered ability to just being able to pull something out of her ass in every situation gobsmacks me and if the above situation doesn't happen then she literally screws you over by limiting you in some way such as either becoming you enemy or refusing to teach you magic until she absolutely has to.

(LITERALLY TELL ME ONE ACTUAL FANFIC WHERE THIS DOESNT HAPPEN, Comment it down below)

I chuckled rather loudly as I thought about it, while simultaneously walking out of the room that had the time stone in it. I walked to my assigned room and sat down while mediating what just revealed itself to me. I don't know why but it's been a rather large habit for me to sit down and mull about recent events and come to think about it after every business meeting or any "disposals" I had to do in my past life, I always sat down and analyzed it because no matter how smart and powerful I am right now; it wouldn't and never will change my inherit caution and I'm extremely happy about that. There are a uncountable amount of people working to the same goal as me; True Omnipotence. I don't have the luxury to not be cautious about it and though it has very much dulled due to my childish body and state, it wiIl return full force when I'm in my adult state.

Such as right now where I'm reminded of how dumb I am. It's honestly scary how much I would have been straight up ruined if I touched the time stone.

No matter how many or overpowered powers I have right now, all my wishes and perks are based on potential they give me no immediate power except for my Superman abilities. In time I will be immune to such manipulations made to reality on me but until then I have to watch to it. Even if I unlock my doomsday wish, if any changes of reality are made on me for example my lungs are turned into actual brick; it will only make me adapt by making me able to live normally not change it back to what it was before.

(Now this is AU, so don't bash me too much in the comments please)

The Limbo has always been a point of interest for me especially with its appearance as a zone of pure crimson destruction. It's always shifting and phasing in and out of existence and there was some very interesting theories about it in my past life that if proven to be correct, well…

Let's just say, Marvel just gained a handsome new reality warper, but frustratingly it will take a while like all my other damn plans. I thought having 12th level Intellect would be amazing and though it is, it's also very…limiting… if you call it that.

I have hundreds of plans assembling, changing, adapting to every new variable that I know of yet I can't put them in action because every single damn one requires me to have some sort of influence on the world; which is actually very easy to do especially with my smarts but I need to wait for the perfect moment to not only make me someone the world relies on and loves but if something were to happen to me then instant Stone Age for the whole world.

Well that's the plan atleast, for now all I have to do is keep my head down and study magic to the point, I'm extremely comfortable facing any master in battle and bulldozing them to the ground with magic alone.

I sighed again as I switched to a meditation pose and generated 2 magic swords, I made them move foward and then stop suddenly to move backwards; they weren't moving that fast, well atleast to me they were as fast as a bow and arrow shot which averages around 224 feet per second. I made them do random motions in air while trying to stop them as fast as I can in their motion which makes for an extremely effective control training. I mean let's be honest who doesn't wanna do that cool move where they can just stop a projectile from hitting someone barely an inch away from their eyes, or in this case a magical sword that can cut through wood like butter.

I did the exercise for 20 mins more before I took a deep breath and a few moments to recover my mental energy before I focused on refining my solar energy reserves to make more drops of liquid gold as I like to call the drops of condensed solar energy. I had 3 and was in the middle of making my fourth, I was much more familiar with the process now.

I had to make approximately 365 cycles of solar energy, which takes about 2 weeks of non stop gathering which I obviously can't do; so in all honesty with my current schedule, it takes about a month and a half nd then compress all the "gas" if you will into one and make sure they don't collapse midway because I rlly don't wanna explain to the ancient one how everything in 25 mile radius experienced instant Heat death from what looked like a thermonuclear bomb with none of the nuclear and twice the thermo. I mean to be fair if that was to happen, she would just reverse time and warn me not to do it; if of course she's able to turn the time loop on in the 0.003 window time frame she has before it turns her into a smoking pile of ash. But also that's not counting the magical defenses of this place, because I didn't even have to activate domain as with my "normal" eyes; these thoughts were running through my head absent-mindedly as I completed the fourth drop of Solar energy.

It was a bit disheartening to see all the solar energy gas disappear and it was time for me to restart gathering it which was getting a bit annoying but the addiction of the solar energy washing through my body made me cheer up.

With that came my last exercise of the day which consisted of me using shrouding myself with aura and shaping it to my will. I was trying to shape into gloves covering my hands, it was a bit like sowing something; I had to slowly stitch the aura from the base of my hand to the tips of my fingers and then do the same with back of my hand while merging the aura together at the sides of my hand to make it look like an actual glove and not surprisingly this takes up a lot of my concentration because I'm trying to make it as skin tight as possible but my Bioenergy is just so damn energetic , the moment I even thought about it to manifest around me; it was rushing to spill out and take as much space as it could. I have such a large amount of it that if a normal human could see it, they would think a flash bang just went off with none of the smoke and double the brightness of light; but that's aif they don't get overwhelmed and their nerves don't get fried by the energy almost naturally drowning them in it.

I play with the gloves a bit more before dismissing the bio energy back inside me.

I take a deep breath as I'm sweating buckets; I remember the first time I tried to this, my bio energy literally burst like a balloon and sent me it destroyed the hut from the shockwave back in the Brazilian rain forest.

The good old times of freedom, I miss the fresh breath of air; even though Kathmandu is not very polluted as it lacks lots of cars and other machines passing through it daily due to its rural location, nothing could ever replace that scent of fresh dew of the leaves at dawn break or the breathtaking view of the Sun.

I walked to the bathtub; almost merging in with the water as it just washed away my mental exhaustion and soothed my mind. I layer in the tub for a while just relaxing in it.

I got up and looked at my status screen as I have been ignoring it a bit because I rlly didn't make any sudden power ups except my wisdom and intelligence definitely rose due to my new magical knowledge and my linguistic knowledge

Hmmm, my mind stat went up by 4 and soul went by 3; guess I was right. The stats are worth a lot more than the previous "colorless" stats.

I wonder what those "Ancient" masters are talking about me right now? I smirked while I thought about because I definitely know they are; most likely freaking out about my control and energy reserves. Oh well, it's not like I wasn't planning on exposing my "brilliance" to them anyways.
