Grandpa Universe In Multiverse

Chapter 175: Snatching Some Rings

Alexander and Howard flew to the house where Tony was staying. At least he didn't have PTSD this time so he was in much better shape. They directly entered the house and saw Tony and a kid playing with BB guns.

"Your mom is so worried and here you are playing games?" Howard loudly said.

Tony got spooked and turned around. "Ah, it's you, dad. I thought it was those terrorists."

"Let's go, kid. We're going to deal with this Extremis. They have also kidnapped Pepper." Alexander revealed.

Tony quickly shot up, "What? Why didn't you say that earlier? Let's go."

Howard gave him the armor he brought for him. "Get ready."

The kid, Harley was quiet till now but seeing that they were leaving he spoke, "Sir, c-can I get a picture with you?"

He asked Alexander, "Haha, sure kid."

Alexander not only clicked pictures but also gave him various toys and science books which he loved a lot.

Soon they were already out, flying to where Killian was. Alexander was going to deal with Mandarin later as he knew he was fake. Though he was interested in knowing where the real one was.

They reached the seaport where Killian had made his base. The moment they arrived many Extremis soldiers attacked them. Their attack was more like self-destruction though. Alexander, Iron Mage, and the Iron Man thinned down the enemies. They were all busy fighting when out of nowhere a light beam came and hit Alexander.

Being hit by it made Alexander feel his body was going to disintegrate on a molecular level. He controlled his body through sheer magical power and made it refigure itself.

He looked at who attacked him and sure enough, he wasn't surprised. The real Mandarin came with all his 10 rings.

Mandarin discovered them in China's "Valley of Spirits," the Ten Rings of Power are actually the product of the dragon-like race Axonn-Karr (or Makluans) from the planet Maklu-IV. The race was extinct but the ten rings had their consciousness within them. If the wearer wears them all then the rings will try to make the wearer do anything possible to bring them back to life.

Alexander looked at Tony and Howard, "You two go ahead and find pepper. This guy is a tough one for you." The two nodded and flew away.

"Surprised why I'm still standing?" he said looking at Mandarin.

Mandarin was indeed surprised but didn't show it. He had just used the most powerful, disintegration beam. The attack had a cooldown time of 20 minutes.

"Surprising, but not out of my expectations. You are indeed strong enough to face me. But sadly, this will be your end." Mandarin proudly claimed.

"Huh, many before you have made such remarks. And you aren't even worth half of them. Now show me what you got" Alexander slowly started walking towards him.

Mandarin lifted his left hand. First, he used the ring on Pinky finger. It had the power to create an Ice Blast. It freezes the air in its path and can lower an object's temperature to almost absolute zero.

Alexander simply used Fiendfyre and burned his attack down. Then he Pointed his Ring Finger. It magnifies Mandarin's psychic energy enabling him to mentally control a person. Only effective at short range.

Alexander was already walking towards him so he used it. But he couldn't get into Alexander's Occlumency Shields. He gave up and sent the next attack from the middle finger.

It was called Electro-Blast. It emits quantities of electrical energy determined by the wearer.

Just as Mandarin was about to send the Electro Blast, Alexander conjured a lot of water around Mandarin. It made him give up the attack as he'd just end up killing himself with it.

The next was Flame Blast. It emits infrared radiation and can cause air to incandesce by igniting its molecules. It was said that this ring had a tiny heart of neutron star in it.

The attack was also easily handled by Alexander's Frostfyre. Soon he sent the next attack, which was just a plain laser attack. He used his sling ring to create a portal leading to Mandarin's back. It ended up hitting him on his own ass.

"Try harder next time," Alexander mocked.

Now he lifted up his right hand. The first attack was an air attack in the form of a vortex. It was pretty weak.

Now only two options were left for him. He pointed his index finger at him. The ring on it gave him the Impact Beam. It projects a concussive force of approximately 350 lbs. of TNT. It can also cause intense sonic vibrations and create magnetic waves.

This was quite destructive but still not enough. Alexander had fought The Beast, who was many times stronger.

His last attack was from his thumb. The ring on it was a Matter Rearranger. It could rearrange atoms and/or molecules of substances or speed up/slow down their movements to result in various effects.

Mandarin tried to transfigure him with it. Alexander could feel something trying to twist his body but he was too strong to be hurt by such a low powered attack.

"You done now?" He said, standing just one foot away from Mandarin. His height was towering compared to Mandarin.

After so many years, this was the first time Mandarin felt scared. None of his attacks worked on Alexander.

"You run the Ten Rings terrorist organization, don't you? Not that it matters now. I will dismantle it after punishing you. You could have used your rings for good but no you decided to cause destruction. You reap what you sow. And right now is the time to harvest." He started reading his sins.

"No, you can't kill me. I-I can be very useful to you. Just give me a chance."

Alexander shook his head, "God gave you a chance by bringing you into this world, and you repaid him in the worst way possible. Hell will be your home now."

He waved his hand and all the rings from his finger were forcefully removed. Two or three fingers also got ripped out in the process. Mandarin was just crying in pain.

His screams were so loud that Iron Man fighting Killian also heard it. Killian recognized the voice and his heart sank. He lost focus for a second, which was his biggest mistake. The next thing he knew, there was a big hole in his chest from Tony's energy beam.

Pepper was already saved and she stood with Howard on the sidelines. Howard could have defeated Killian with a wave of his hand but Tony asked him not to interfere. He had to punish Killian himself for kidnapping Pepper, Tony said.

As soon as they were done, they all came to see Alexander and who's scream it was. They came to see that Alexander had caught Mandarin by his neck. Mandarin's body was slowly burning as he screamed in pain. In his mind, he was going through thousands of years of tentacle torture.

"What did he do?" Howard asked. He knew that Alexander was a god and punishing sinners was his duty.

"He runs an international terrorist organization called Ten Rings. He has killed more than a hundred thousand people by his own hand and a further two million indirectly." He replied.

Pepper and Tony gawked hearing that. "He's a monster." She commented.

"That is why he's getting punished."

Soon Mandarin's Time Torture was completed. So he quickly increased the fire and burned him to ashes while sending his soul to eternal hell. It was the end of Ten rings.

~The Rings look pretty stylish. Maybe I should wear them.~ he thought.

"Alright, everyone. Let's go now. Maria must be worrying herself to death right now." Howard spoke.

Alexander took out his anywhere door and returned to Stark Tower.

Maria quickly hugged both Tony and Pepper. "Oh my god. I was so worried about you two. You put me in so much tension."

Meanwhile, Alexander and Howard went to the bar and sat down away from the drama.

"So, what's the plan for your election campaign?" Howard asked.

Alexander poured himself a drink, "I think I've already won after my announcement of new medicine. But I'll still have to take part in debates and show my face to the public. So I'll be doing a lot of charity and superhero work for a while. What does Obama have to say? Is he going to run for re-election?"

"I seriously don't know. He's uncertain of what to do. You should focus on hiring a good PR though. You can't go to every state and give speeches." Howard suggested.

"Who said I can't? I can fly and this makes traveling so much easier. I can probably cover all states in a day or two." Alexander stated.

"*Sigh* I feel bad for whoever will stand against you." Howard drank up.
