Grandpa Universe In Multiverse

Chapter 183: Preparing For War

Odin knew that the fourth host was coming and had sent the message to Zeus and Vishnu. He only received a reply from Vishnu. It was an important time so he himself went to Olympus to talk to Zeus. He was shocked to find that the Greek Pantheon was at war with each other.

It all started with Alexander giving Phoenix tears to Apollo. All the other gods got greedy for it and tried to snatch it from him. This resulted in a team-up with Zeus on one side and Apollo on the other.

Odin just went to Zeus' palace and saw the man.

"Welcome, Odin. It has been a long time." Zeus greeted him. Although they had some animosity, they didn't deny each other a welcome.

"Yes, I have a piece of very important news to tell you. The Fourth..." He was interrupted by a noise.

A duck walked to Zeus and jumped on his lap, "Quack Quack"

Odin looked confused, "What is that duck doing here?"

"Oh, this is my son. Meet Thoros, Son of Zeus." Zeus said while caressing the duck.

~Olympian gods are still weirdos.~ Odin thought.

"I came to tell you that the Fourth Host is arriving. It's time to unite and fight them. This might very well be their final visit and Earth's destruction is imminent with so much violence ongoing there." He told him.

Zeus shot up hearing that. "Have the others agreed to meet?"

"Yes, they have. However, I am yet to tell God-son." Odin informed.

"Argh... him. I don't like him. But we can indeed use his strength in countering the Celestials. I will stop this war for now and gather the gods. We will meet you on the Moon." He said and left to get other gods.

...

Alexander was in Olympia, the new home of Eternals. He just roamed the city and was amused by the technology of Eternals. It wasn't something very complex but just that it was much more advanced than humans.

Leonidas and Natasha had gone to explore on their own. While he was looking at some shops, suddenly the Bifrost light appeared near him. He looked and Odin came out of it.

"What's the matter, Odin? Why do you look so tired?" He asked.

"My friend, a crisis has appeared. The Fourth Host is coming to judge the Midgard. They will destroy everything if they aren't stopped." Odin informed him.

Alexander fell into contemplation and remembered what the whole deal was. He remembered that in the end the Celestials were warded off after Frigga and Gaia came and showed them some new gods from the earth. He didn't know if they would do it now too. But he wasn't going to help them a lot, at least not yet. He'd let them fight first. They needed the experience as he would someday leave.

"Hm... Don't worry, Odin. I understand your worries. I presume you have a plan?" He asked.

"Yes, I do." He affirmed.

"Try it. If you fail then I'll come. Consider me the last line of defense." He told him.

Odin felt a bit relieved but he still had worries, "Can you deal with the whole bunch?"

"Trust me, I can. However, I hope it doesn't come to me fighting as it might force Fulcrum to come." Alexander stated.

"Fulcrum?! now who is that?" Odin asked. Ikaris also came and silently listened.

"Do you know about the Horde?" He questioned.

They both nodded, "Yes, they are the insects that can devour the world and even Celestials."

"Yes, and you can consider them to be representatives of destruction. Meanwhile, the Celestials create life. Although they aren't for any good, they still do create life. Then there are watchers who just look at the universe. All these 3 species are one of the oldest and the strongest in the universe." He explained.

"Do you know about the Eternals and deviants?" He asked.

"Yes, the celestials made us from the human gene," Ikaris replied. That's all he knew about Celestial's involvement on Earth.

"Yes, and Fulcrum is a being served by the Celestials, the Horde, the Watchers, and by everything that exists in the state of sublime equilibrium. After nineteen cosmic cycles(2,462,400 years) the planet experimented on by the Celestials would be destroyed and the energy would go to the Fulcrum. If the energy was consistent with Eternals(Strong and kind) then the life-force would go to the Celestials, but if the energies were consistent with Deviants(Ugly and wicked) then it would go to the Horde." He told them.

It shook the two to the core. This meant that the existence of humanity, Eternals, and Deviants was to just get devoured in the end?

Alexander knew that The Eternal people had a problem of Mahd Wy'ry, also known as the "Secret Curse of the Eternals", the madness. Alexander didn't want that to happen. He could already feel Ikaris losing his mind. In the comics too, he lost his mind after finding this truth.

He took out a vial and told him to drink, "Drink it, it can remove Mahd Wy'ry from your body. I could already feel you going mad."

Ikaris looked at the blue liquid in the small vial. "Is what you said true? Are we supposed to be just food for them?"

*Sigh*

~Odin, grab his arm. I need to put the potion in his mouth.~ Alexander mentally told Odin.

Odin nodded and smoothly snuck behind Ikaris and grabbed his arms.

"WHAT! What are you doing?" Ikaris tried to get away.

"Saving you," Alexander forcefully opened his mouth and poured the potion.

"Haha... You are very lucky, young man." Odin added and released him.

Ikaris fell down while coughing as he understood the changes happening in his body. "I...I feel better."

"Here, take these and give them to each Eternal. Only after that tell them the truth." He handed him a bag full of vials.

Ikaris looked at it gratefully, "Thank you. I will not forget this kindness."

"You're gonna need it if you want to fight the fourth host." He said and sent him away.

He looked at Odin, "You must have some stuff to prepare too. I'll also go and gather some stuff that might help if the worst came."

He was serious. If Fulcrum came then he'd have to use every ounce of strength as he was Omnipotent and Omniscient in Marvel Universe. He is only second to One above all and probably equal to the Beyonder.

Alexander went to the Ancient One. She was currently in a session of teaching.

"What is it, Alex?" She asked.

"A danger is soon going to be arriving. The fourth host is on its way. It's possible that someone even stronger than them might come. I will need the Time Stone for it." He said.

Ancient One was shocked for a bit but quickly gave him the stone. "If what you describe is real then the time stone is the safest in your hands."

Alexander appreciated it, "Unfortunately it's all real. Let's just hope that things turn out good."

Alexander then went to work on his next weapon. After a long time, he was going to create a weapon again. He was going to combine the 4 stones and the M'Kraan Crystal and make something that could kill pretty much anything. The White-hot room of Phoenix will be transferred to Phixheim. He was sure the Phoenix wouldn't mind it.

...

While a huge crisis was coming towards Earth. A new person arrived in New York with hopes of joining the Avengers.

Doreen Green, an 18-year-old girl from Los Angeles. She was not a mutant but due to her squirrel-like tail, she thought as such for most of her life. That was until doctors tested her blood and it was confirmed that she wasn't a mutant.

When she was ten years old, Doreen discovered she could communicate with squirrels after overhearing one of those rodents in her window. She subsequently saved that squirrel from being chased by a dog, and they became friends. The Squirrel named Monkey Joe encouraged her to do good. Ever since then, Doreen began to fantasize about becoming a superhero.

She saw the New York invasion and all the superheroes protecting everyone on TV. She felt envious and wanted to join them too. So she ran from her college hostel to New York, intending to become an Avenger.

"You think I will succeed, Monkey Joe?" She asked her squirrel.

Monkey Joe climbed to her shoulder and made some sound.

"Haha... Yeah, we both will succeed." She cheered up.
