The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

Chapter 340 - The Soul Stone...

A/N: Guys, I would like some suggestions regarding the mission for the Bleach world, I do have some ideas but I would also like to get some ideas from you guys...

--------------------------------------- ??

[The Sanctuary, Asteroid Belt]

An armour-clad Titan could be seen sitting on a floating throne with a deep frown on his face... he was twirling a sceptre with a glowing yellow gem in his hand... some time ago he lost felt the Space Stone disappear, he had been keeping an eye on that Stone for some time.

The Space Stone was necessary for his plans... he looked down and his eyes landed on his newest pawn... Loki of Asgard... he had some plans for Loki and he had declared that he would help Loki to conquer Earth in return he needed the Tesseract. But all of a sudden, his minions had lost the connection with the Space Stone.

It was like that the Space Stone had simply disappeared into thin air... at first he had thought that someone had destroyed the Stone... there were only a handful of beings who could do something like that but it was still possible... but his sensors didn't pick up any kind of energy discharge, it was like the Stone had disappeared into thin air.

This was really bad for his plans... he needed all the Stones to fulfil his ambition. After he saw the readings from the sensors he knew that he should investigate this matter and sending some underling won't do... but before that, he needed to send someone to Morag... he had a feeling that someone else has been also collecting the Stones...

"Send the Accuser to Morag... I have waited long enough" the Titan said in a majestic manner looking down towards one of his servants.

"Yes, sire..." the servant answered back in a devoted tone and quickly left, the Titan's eyes shifted towards another servant.

"Gather the Black Order and prepare the ship... we are leaving..." the Titan said and leaned back in his throne...

[POV Reo]

Now that I had finished checking my new powers... I decided to continue my mission, after all, I had already wasted a lot of time... so, I closed my eyes and started to scan the whole planet... doing something like this with the Space Stone was easy...

After about half a minute, two such energy signatures finally pinged inside my mind... got you... but a deep frown appeared on my face. Something didn't feel right... it was like that the Stones have been drained of their powers... is that even possible?? Their energy signatures were really weak like almost non-existent.

I decided to use the powers of the Space Stone to teleport... and the next moment I found myself in front of an abandoned mine in the middle of woods... I looked around and shivered... Wrong Turn vibes!!! Jokes aside, I didn't even feel anything... I simply willed the very fabric of Space to bring me here and here I am.

I didn't know the exact name of this place... but I was somewhere in New York... I didn't even know places like this existed inside New York... I quickly locked down the Space around us... even though the Stones didn't seem to have any power, I didn't want to take any chances... surprises can be also harmful to you.

It didn't even take me a second to lock down the whole area... there will be no teleporting now... no matter what kind of power you use. I had already located the so-called Android... I felt Nimrod, was made of Vibranium and Adamantium... no wonder they found it really hard to kill it.

Since I had already locked down the Space... I decided to go fuck it and go in guns blazing... with that thought, I used the power of Power Stone and blew apart the whole mine... I am pretty sure that Nimrod was alive then he would have died due to a heart attack...

Nimrod was somewhat buried under the rubbles... with some difficulty it turned towards me and spoke up. "Leviathan..." Nimrod said while looking towards me... I am pretty sure that I wasn't in their Universe... he must have collected a lot of information after coming to this Universe.

"I am flattered that you know of me" I said in a cheerful tone and started to walk towards it... I used my powers to pull it out of the rubbles... I could already see the two Stones embedded in its left hand.

"I don't have any quarrel with you Leviathan... I also don't want to do anything with the Meta-Humans of this Universe..." Nimrod started to spout some bullshit but I wasn't interested in the tripe he was spouting. I arrived in front of it and with a clank, its knees cracked and dropped in front of me.

"Do you really think I would be worried about something like that?? I want those from you..." I said while pointing towards its left hand. Nimrod looked down and found that his whole arm was missing.

Its left arm was in my hands and I quickly plucked out the Stones from its arm and threw back the arm to Nimrod like it was thrash... the fuck it did to the Stones?? There is no juice in them... I looked towards Nimrod... "The fuck did you do with the Stones, tin can?" I asked while glaring.

But instead of answering it shot lasers from its eyes... I wasn't even bothered by the lasers as they were blocked by something invisible before they could reach me... I rolled my eyes in annoyance and pulled out its eyes using my power... "Will you answer...?? Don't make me pull the answers from your hard drive..." I growled out in annoyance.

"...They have been like that since I arrived in this world" after a few seconds, Nimrod finally decided to answer... hmm... there must be a reason why the Stones are... simply Stones...

(A/N: Reo was born 8 months ago... when I started this fanfic that is why he doesn't have knowledge related to the Loki series... I ain't an asshole, so he has to follow the timeline and shit... ????)

I wonder if I can absorb these paperweights... the armour on my right hand retracted and grabbed the Space Stone... with a blue glow, I absorbed the Space Stone... and I felt my powers increase by several folds... I didn't gain anything new but my raw power did receive a massive boost...

"Hmm... that felt really nice" I said after absorbing the Stone. I also got the location of their Universe. My eyes finally landed on the Soul Stone in my armour-clad palm... slowly I grabbed the Soul Stone and my whole body was surrounded by an orangish glow...

After a few seconds, the glow finally subsidised... I felt the new power coursing through my whole body and I immediately knew why someone decided to create the test for the Soul Stone... it gave you power over Souls... all life was based on souls... in other words... it simply gave me powers over life.

I could control and manipulate a being's Soul to do my bidding... I could bring back dead people to life even if they didn't have bodies... I could call Souls from Death's realm to fight for me... I could already feel all life within our galaxy and some other galaxies... that's wasn't all... I could call a Soul to physical world to have a chat.

I also gained my own pocket dimension... for now, the dimension was entirely made up of shallow water underneath a dim orange sky... like it was shown in the movies. This is where Thanos talked with Gamora after he snapped away half of this Universe's life... well it was completely customizable... I will do that later.

(A/N: I know that the dimension changed according to a person but I decided to use Thanos's version when Reo saw the dimension for the first time but its customizable for him so it won't be a problem).

I could also call a Soul in this dimension of if I want to have a chat with them and no Time will pass outside the dimension, when I am a chat with someone... this dimension existed outside Time so the normal laws of Time didn't apply to this dimension.

Now that I was finally done checking out my new powers... I looked down towards Nimrod, the Android that brought me such awesome gifts... that is why I am going to let him go... do I feel bad for the people or Meta-Humans in their dimension?? Fuck No!! They built this thing so it is their responsibility...

"Nimrod... this is your lucky day... for such awesome gifts, I am going to send you back and I will even fix you" I said happily and a green ring formed on my hand... the damage on Nimrod started to reverse and his eyes were fixed, after that his arm was also fixed and after that, the scratches were also gone.

I stopped pressuring it with my power and it finally stood up... "...Thank you, Leviathan..." Nimrod said in a robotic voice but I could feel that it was grateful. With a small gesture... a rip in the Space was opened beside Nimrod. Nimrod gave me another grateful nod and entered the rip in the Space...

See... people say that I am a bad guy even after I do so much good... even an Android was grateful towards me... I wiped away an imaginary tear from my eye and teleported back to Elysium...
