Chapter 12: Chapter 12 - The Forge

A week had passed and I spent the time with the girls while training Susan and her brother to use their power like Reed and his best friend Ben who trained themselves. 

She had gotten a hold of her power quite well having joined the dimensional training doom that I made in the ship that gave them time to refine her skill. Susan was able to quickly master her power with my help while her brother was a natural. 

Meanwhile, My brother, Doctor Strange and Reed Richard have been helping find ways to keep our solar system from getting any threats.

Tony has gotten a bit more control with his Iron God form but I always remind him to be careful as it could corrupt the mind of the person when they can tap into the universe itself and become more aware of little things

The Silver Surfer remained in our custody and had willingly told us every information that he knew of Galactus. The things he told me bewildered me since this is something that I don't know. The lore of the universe was a blank slate to me with only bits of pieces that the Phoenix was willing to share.

"Are you saying that Galactus is from reality before ours?"

Reed Richard questions him having piqued his interest. 

"That's right, he came from a universe that had collapsed and managed to survive into the new universe at the cause of his insatiable hunger for lifeforce which happens to be planets."

This is something that I news to investigate outside the cosmos or force the Phoenix to tell me what she knows but I'll likely die if I did. The best way is to find a cosmic entity that I could have a decent conversation with.

Maybe death? No, that woman would likely seduce me for her agenda. The only option is to wait until one of the cosmic entities shows themselves to me. 

"He cannot die, Galactus can be delayed but eventually he'll return."

Guess that happens when the living embodiment of the Great Filter Theory is given form. This is a necessity in the universe for when they are Creation, Destruction follows and vice versa. 

"What do you take, Richard?"

Tony asked the smartest man alive. The title itself is really stupid if I'm perfectly honest. 

"If we gather enough data and use the cosmic energy that Enzo has then perhaps we can create enough power to push him back." 

Given his idea, we were able to give some outline on how to deal with universal threats like Galactus which include me. I don't even trust myself if there is any moment that I'll succumb to mind control or turn evil. 

In any case, I am now preparing myself for space travel into the cosmos. My body had already started to release a portion of cosmic energy with veins on my skin beginning to appear. 

"Make sure to visit us immediately once you're done!"

Ororo sternly said.

"We'll make sure to protect the earth while you're gone."

Wanda said.

"Always keep us in your mind, sugar~!"

She leaned for kids but was pulled by Jean using her telekinesis. 

"Didn't we agree to wait until he's 18?"

I already knew even if I rarely spy on their conversation. We already have been together more than a few decades in time diluted space even if most of the time we were training. 

"Come on, he's already legal when Enzo is technically our age!"

I feel a great disturbance in the force as if millions of people began to question my legal age. The other guys, namely my brother, were giving a proud smiles and gave thumbs up. 

"You girls know I can just kiss you if you want?"

 "Really?!"

The one who exclaimed was Susan who seemed eager to get a kiss from me. I mean people might find it weird but seeing that everyone I know, knew about my situation didn't mind it. 

I didn't say much as I gave each of them kisses on the lips starting with Jean, Rouge, Ororo, Wanda, and Susan.

"Never have I felt so proud."

Our lips departed while I rolled my eyes when I heard my brother. They obviously became overwhelmed by the kiss and took a few moments until they calmed down. 

"Well make sure to come back safe!"

Susan demanded while I merely smiled and patted her head.

"I will and if I were in danger my subordinate would immediately notify you, girls." 

Once we said our farewells and summoned my daughters riding Scarlet…wait that sounded wrong for some reason. I mean I hopped at her handle like how the king used his spear from Seven Deadly sin while I wore my cosmic armor that was my other daughter, Nova Tempest. 

Space is a boundless enigma and I am about to explore it. I guess this won't take long until I manage to settle the cosmic energy in my system. I'm unsure how long it would take but I'll surely visit earth as often as I can. 

For now, let's get farther away from the milky way galaxy. When I reach the edge of the milky way at a mere second, immediately release a burst of cosmic ray and feel overwhelming freedom. I wasn't really uncomfortable and just felt freer when I was able to let it out if that makes sense.

I don't know what happens to any planets I come across and only hope it nourishes them while I keep going even farther than before until I arrive in a void where the next galaxy is several thousand light years away.

'This place should be enough.'

At this moment, I began to let my power be completely released into the surroundings and could feel that I am also being encased in a cocoon. 

My consciousness and awareness were still there, having to remain unmoving for exactly a year, that probably takes billions upon billions of years if not for my endless mutant powers and mystic arts knowledge Along with Cosmic and Chaos power. I was adapting and evolving every passing second that defies nature itself. 

I felt like I was in the womb again in the fetal position. My flesh seems to start turning into not just normal mortals but into cosmic and abstract form. 

It is at this moment that I could feel that my flesh started to stretch outward expanding in miles upon miles of symbiotic flesh that had their own mind to protect the God host. 

They have formed a world made from my flesh. A place similar to klyntar where I am not imprisoned like Knull. They seem to have used my cosmic energy into forming themselves. 

Of course, I was just ideally thinking alone and been transferring myself from time to time with my clone back on earth. They weren't at any major events back on earth and were going out on dates with the girls.

'Huh? Is that? For fuck sake seriously right now!?'

I curse when I sense a familiar energy coming its way to me. I am in a vulnerable state where the best I could do for now is create a powerful avatar that could bring my enemy far away from this place. 

My cosmic armor and chaos spear ready itself as I stared into the void waiting for my enemy only to be greeted with utmost confusion. 

"Huh? Hello, are you inhabitants of that world? If yes then sorry I'll be going then." 

Before me was a young woman with long black hair and wore a purple skimpy outfit. The most interesting thing is that she looks exactly like Galactus but a female version.

"Uhmm are you…are you related to Galactus?"

"You know Daddy? Of course you do, there's hardly anyone that doesn't know him. Ah right, I'm Galacta or Gali, his daughter but unlike him I don't want to eat worlds and be trying to find new ways to sustain myself."

"Call me Enzo and it's nice to meet you, Galacta. I was scared for a moment thinking that I'll be fighting him again."

"Again? Wait, you fought father!? How come you're alive!?"

"...haven't you noticed the cosmic energy?"

"Ah right sorry, I was just so hungry and news of my daddy made me quite cranky."

She really likes to talk huh? I can say that she contrasts her father and can tell that no lies came from her. 

"Well I'm going then, It's been nice talking to you."

She was about to leave when I decided to help her since she needs lifeforce energy that I was currently trying to release in order to finish my metamorphosis. 

"Wait, you said you were hungry and willing to eat other things?"

"Yes, any biomass would be sufficient."

"Guess you're lucky. You can eat my extra biomass since I have too much."

"Biomass? Wait, you're saying that the planet is pure biomass!?"

Her eyes shine hungrily as if finding the perfect buffet. Poor girl, she must feel terrible for pushing her body to not eat necessary biomass. She's lucky that I can create biomass and even create things for her to eat. 

"Yup, I don't mind you absorbing some of them if it could satisfy you."

"What's in it for you? I don't see it being free?"

"Well, this one you're talking about is an avatar of mine and the main body is at the core and currently I am releasing so much cosmic energy that I'll eventually cover the entire universe with my biomass."

"This sounds too good to be true!!"

"Well, just think of it as a treat for pretty girls like you." 

"Thank you so much!"

"Alright let's descend and you can start siphoning some of my energy." 

She seemed extremely eager and followed me below where she began siphoning my biomass rather quickly. Holy shit how hungry is she!?

"Why does it taste so good!?"

"Uhm…thank you?"

This happened a year ago and I have been staying with her the entire time where she kept eating the biomass I provide while giving some things like information about Galactus technology from the previous universe.

I've the girls told Gali and at first they didn't like the idea but eventually got over it and shared the information that Gali willingly told me which was helpful 

"So you came to a planet called earth? I am curious to see that world."

"Yes, it's a beautiful planet that I had to unify using my powers enough to stop unnecessary greed and vainglory."

"That's why I don't like eating worlds. They're many innocent and beautiful things that are bound to be destroyed."

"You are quite kind, Gali." 

She smiled at me before the sound of rumbling could be heard as I could feel the core, the main body was about to awake and quickly took Gali outside my world. 

Crack.

In that moment the sound could be earth as a burst of energy released as my cosmic form appeared behind the planet turning into the size of the Galaxy then shrunk back to normal and stared at Gali. 

My power reached a height that was difficult to pinpoint exactly as it was in constant flux and needed to stabilize it before then. 

"Is this what it normally looks like?"

"No, this is my cosmic form but I usually look like this." 

Turning back into my human form since I was done with my metamorphosis. Gali nodded seeing my face.

"You look handsome."

"Oh thank you. Now, Gali, do you have any places to go?"

"Huh? Are you going somewhere?"

"Yeah, I was planning on exploring the world and returning to my home planet after 2 years." 

"Is that so? If it's alright with you can I come with you? Actually I'll be straight forward and say that I want to keep eating you."

Okay the phrasing is just horrible.

"O-Okay but your phrasing is just…."

"Huh? What's wrong with what I said? Oh…"

She blushed. At least she isn't as innocent as she looks. 

"I mean like eating your biomass!! I'm not a pervert , okay!"

"Okay! Okay! No need to get into my face.

She looks satisfied with my answer. 

"Do you know where you're going?"

"Actually yes, I need to head to Knowhere."

Fortunately I am able to gain maps from the Kree and Skrulls empire that gave me direction in where to go. 

"Oh that place! I know where that is! Come follow me!"

I nodded heading our way to Knowhere while along the way I noticed something at her belly. I don't know what that is even with my cosmic awareness. Perhaps it's a phenomenon from the previous universe. 

There isn't much that is happening here besides increasingly growing hungry and fortunate that she met me. A few days of travelling led us to a planet size ruin head. 

"My father once told me that this head belongs to the celestial and even now it reeks of the cosmic light of all the sixth previous universes."

Indeed this is the reason why they are so powerful because they contain the raw power of the first iteration of the universe. We descended into the celestial head and immediately my daughter's were eager to start the process of forging them of the residual light of celestial. 

'I'll just return everyone later.'

I clapped my hand before a single living creature was transformed in a pocket dimension that time doesn't move.  

"What are you planning on doing?"

"Forging my daughters since they deserve to start roaming around." 

Now then I held out my hands removing everything that was not originally part of Knowhere until what's left was an enormous structure that had the same appearance of furnaces.

I quickly resized myself as Gali followed, looking around the place and saw that this was the original blacksmith of Knull. At the corner I spotted a hammer and lifted it afterwards immediately felt the power of the void. The power of Knull. 

"You can take a seat, Gali, this will take a while."

"Alright…uhm sorry can you give me some biomass again?"

"Sure, eat up."

I held out some of the biomass that made her ecstatic and sat in the corner while I looked around once and found the furnace but the flames, the light had long faded.

'How do I start it?'

Reversing time won't work since Celestials are outside the concept of time and only move forward. 

'Maybe that could work?'

I nodded to myself and held out my hands as I tried my best to sense any sign of light. The celestial power never truly fades and this is no exception. 

Few minutes went by and nothing happened and slowly made me think that I won't be able to start it. All of sudden I sense it! The light of the universe. The power of the celestial was still beating. I only need to bond with it then I'll revive it.

Badum!

Badum! Badum!

A burst of cosmic flame burst into the furnace that scared Gali and interrupted her from eating. The power that came from the sixth previous universes. The first creation. The first firmaments. 

"Hahaha I didn't expect it to actually work and…..oh wow really!?"

When I was able to connect myself into the celestial very existence and acquired its memory before its death. I've found that there are other beings that contrast the celestial and that was the Aspirants who serve the first firmament. 

The Celestial rebelled against the first firmament and eventually won. What happened to the aspirant is unknown but I am certain they are still alive and hiding. The most troublesome is the Fulcrum…

'How in god's name can I defeat someone like that? Actually, never mind…. If is Omniscience he will know about me. Perhaps the One above all was the one who brought me here? Most likely answer but why?'

When a question is answered, two more take it place. This is rather annoying. 

"You alright?"

Gali brought my mind back to reality and shook my head.

"No, I'm fine. Just find out about crucial information. That aside, Scarlet, Nova be ready." 

They responded and went to the anvil and took my eldest daughter and melted it into the furnace. She didn't seem to feel any pain, instead felt a blister like taking a cold shower after a long day. 

I took her out from the flames and began hammering her. Every strike sent a ripple across the Cosmo while I ignored any possibility of anyone finding me since I'll immediately know and focus on helping my daughter grow stronger.  

Clang!

Clang! Clang!!

Scarlet began to feel more refined, turning herself into something wieldy. I am already an impossible entity to fight with and now my daughter is growing to be a creature at a universal scale. 

When the last strike basked it with a cosmic energy that soon allowed my daughter to reshape itself. In this moment, before me was a young girl with scarlet red hair. 

[ Image here ]

"Scarlet? How do you feel?"

"Daddy! I am finally able to hug you!!"

She ran to me and gave me a bear hug that made me chuckle. I patted her head letting Scarlet enjoy the moment then notice Gali in the corner.

"You're his daughter? Aren't you cute!"

"Hehehe daddy did a great job! Can't wait to see how my Mommies react!"

I jolt then facepalm realizing the things that are going to happen once I return to earth with them.

"Well play with Gali for a moment while I start working with your sister."

"Okie dokie Daddy!"

I smiled and took out the cosmic armor before letting it bask in the light of the celestial before beating it with the hammer having the same process as I did with scarlet and eventually she managed to take form and appeared like her sister but had blue hair instead.

"Daddy!"

She gave me a tight hug and pleased that they were happy with their new body. Few minutes later, the two began to test their new bodies and felt second nature to them.

"This is like how I was born. Everything felt second nature to me."

Gali shared her thoughts. yeah I wonder how someone like Galactus have an offspring. did he bang a mortal?

"Is that so? Wait, do you have a mother or were you born in other means?"

"Now that you asked, I don't know. I've never asked my father and can't remember how I came to be."

I am feeling something and it is pointing at the growing creature in Gali's stomach that had my cosmic energy and her mix together.

'Uhmm…Great sage…is she pregnant?'

[ Yes, congratulations. ]
