Chapter 14: Chapter 10 Is Gaia gold digger? Shi'ar's dread.
Gaia's behavior was always weird and now her excitement
about the organization she made with powerful individuals is like a fan who is going to méet their idol. Her case should be the opposite because she is THE IDOL the mother word came from her depicted and considering she is the Goddess of Motherhood, Earth, and Nature every human or living being on earth should be grateful to her.
Why?
Because Gaia is the reason Humans are alive.
How?
Do you think early humans were powerful enough that they could survive after absorbing Celestial's blood?
It was Gaia who helped Humans survive and gain powers.
No matter what the Progenitor was a Celestial and his blood was too potent for human beings to survive. Although it altered the future of Earth a lot in that future Humans were replaced by another species born from the Progenitor's blood. It was Gaia's life essence that saved humans.
But anyway, I thought it was nothing much just some Inhumans, Metahumans, sorcerers, and maybe some aliens.
But I didn't know intentionally or unintentionally she had gathered the two most noticeable characters from both movies and comics.
Wolverine, Selene the Black Queen, Jiaying mother of future Quake, Lila Calderu who is a Witch Queen, and Cat People Progenitors whom he had met in the past were part of her inner circle.
The name of the organization thankfully was not Illuminati.
(Suggest a nice name)
The core members were Fan Fei, Arkea, Bast, and Gaia who are all my wives that I married.
Though only strong person I think in this organization apart from my wives who obviously is the strongest, is Black Queen Selene who can rival Ancient One with Time Gem, Wolverine because of his fighting experience though we have more than him, and this guy doesn't have his Adamantium. I was unimpressed but it is still an achievement I will say they are weak by my standards but this group is powerful if compared to the other groups like Hell Fire Club, A.I.M, and S.H.I.E.L.D. The latter was still relying on their sugar daddy, Howard Stark.
But now the question arises what did Gaia offer them to join her group? As far as I know, they will not join just because Gaia is Mother Earth. Logan literally told Magneto and Professor X to fuck off the former is this guy's archnemesis but not now due to lack of Adamantium.
The Black Queen would do anything for power but she would obviously not follow Gaia just like that, Jiaying is not an ambitious person or one who is hellbent on destroying humanity, yet. Cat People Progenitors were Gaia's followers from the start so no problem but didn't they have to look for their species in NetherWorld, not mine but Bellasco's?
I turned to Gaia and asked with an unimpressed tone "So, what did you promise to give them in exchange for joining the organization? You didn't force them with power did you?" This is the only way I can think.
She looked at me sheepishly and took my arm buried between her continental destroyers. 'Oh! This heavenly feeling.' I promised both Selene and Wolverine to revive their loved ones. I looked at her with disbelief and by her tone I could sense there was more, "To cat people, I will allow them to live in your NetherWorld, and for Jiaying I will help her to make a safe place for Inhumans."
My disbelief was clear in my expression she just looked at me sheepishly and said "Come on, it is not difficult for you to do that. Right?" It actually was rather easy but for those who don't know Abstract Entities I don't know how Mistress Death would react not that I was afraid of her but we will see what will happen I can't refuse her, her pride will take a huge blow if she will go back on her words.
My problem would have been letting Cat People live in my NetherWorld but thinking that he rarely spent time in NetherWorld so that can be managed. Jiaying's request was rather easy he was going to make an Island that would serve as his base anyway.
But now thinking about something he looked at Gaia and said "But, isn't it supposed to be your people why are asking me this? My my, I didn't expect that Elder Goddess Gaia would be a gold digger." I looked at her with raised eyebrows and teased her at which she just pouted "Hmph."
Seriously what is with these women pouting every time they are in the wrong it makes me feel like I have done something wrong.
But anyway just get over with her promises to them.

(Shi'ar Empire)
The Capital Planet Chandilar
In the main area of the planet where the Royal Palace was located, now everything was in ruins except for the palace, a large amount of black mist could be seen which was none other than remnants of Wither Energy in anything that came in contact got corrupted and withered away.
Shi'ar lost nearly a million soldiers due to the mist alone not counting those who died at the hands of the Undead or as they called and those who were still injured. Millions of soldiers are just a small number for an Intergalactic Empire of Shi'ar which houses trillions of people but, those who died in the attack were part of the Imperial Fleet the elite army of Shi'ar.
The Imperial Guard led by Kallark the Gladiator,
were on a remote planet doing a secret mission given to them by Emperor D'ken ensuring that no one was there to stop the attack.
Lilandra who now is managing the empire after D'ken's death, could not help but sigh in frustration.
She hated D'ken and now looking at the records of the empire she was even somewhat glad that he died if he had been the Majostor for even a decade then the Shi'ar Empire would have completely eroded but it still didn't lessen her anger towards the perpetrators of the attack. They still had not found the cure for the mist and their soldiers were dying with each breath.
She had already called the Imperial Guard asking for an explanation of why they were not in the capital to defend from attack and what was their secret mission.
Suddenly a messenger arrived panting heavily his face looked like he had come back from from death's embrace.
Lilandra was already annoyed but she knew from the expression it was urgent news and certainly not a good one.
She gestured for the messenger to speak and he took a deep breath and said "Your Majesty, the Sword of Phoenix is gone."
Lilandra's frown turned to shock and then disbelief before she could say something, again someone burst inside the room this time the soldier who was sent to call the Imperial Guard came, without waiting for her to say something he in a fearful voice said "Your Majesty the Imperial Guard is found badly injured and the descendants of Rook'shir has vanished from their prison."
(Few Minutes Earlier)
The vault where the Sword of Phoenix was kept.
The Enderman appeared without looking around he extended his hand towards the sword and vanished and in the place where he was a large number of projectiles hit place without a delay of a second a large number of soldiers burst into the room but were dumbfounded to find no one except some mist of purple color.
(The planet- M'kraan where Rook'shir's descendants were kept.)
The Imperial Guards led by Gladiator were entrusted with a mission that was to cull the descendants of Rook'shir once and for all and take away the M'kraan Crystal.
As they were about to slaughter the last descendants of Rook'shir who were none other than Korvus and his parents a being appeared in front of them. Which was none other than Enderman he extended his hands and turned into a veil of darkness that looked like it was devouring the space around it and making the Rook'shir family vanish. The Imperial Guards became alert and ready to attack.
Cosmo one of the Guards looked into Enderman's Blue eyes(He fucked up) and said "Who are you? Do you know whose work you are interrupting? Retu-" Before he could say anything he vanished everyone gaped at Enderman whose jaw was wide open everyone was ready to attack.
Sensing anomaly Gladiator spoke "Don't look into his eyes. They are dangerous."
The Enderman looked around as if ignoring the Imperial Guards. After a few minutes, the Guards decided to attack him due to being ignored by the strange creature. But Enderman teleported away leaving only a purple mist behind.
Binder and Fang who were now close to the new position of Enderman attacked him Fang's claws managed to hit the Ender, unfortunately, Binder made eye contact with him triggering the Enderman to go berserk transforming into what looked like a being from Lovecraft's book he lashed out his limbs transforming into razer sharp tentacles attacking everything in his range his mere presence distorting space around him.
Only after killing Binder and Fang, did he revert but most of the Imperial Guards were injured Gladiator included due to distortion of space.
After that Enderman put his hand somewhere in space or to be precise a crack in space and retrieved something he looked at the Imperial Guard for a moment and in a distorting voice that would give anyone nightmares, said ".ƨϱnilʞɒɘW .ʞɔɘʜɔ ni ʇlɘƨɿυoγ qɘɘﻼ .Ɉon ɿo ɘvil oɈ γʜɈɿow ɘɿɒ υoγ ʇi ɘɘƨ bnɒ ɘmoɔ law bɿol γM .bɒɘb ɘd law υoγ ƨɘγɘ γm oɈni ʞool Ɉ'noႧ .ʞɒɘw ʞɔɒɈɈɒ γlno nɒɔ υoY." After that, he left leaving the Imperial Guard's brain fried almost and a cloud of purple mist.
(Back to Present Royal Palace)
"How can Gladiator be defeated?" Lilandra shouted in disbelief.
The soldier trembled but said, "Gladiator only told us that they were caught off guard, and after that, he went into a coma."
Lilandra dismissed both messenger and soldier.
She massaged her temple and muttered in a frustrated voice that had a hint of dread "Who did you offend D'ken this time?"
_______________
I know Gladiator and Imperial Guard are powerful but they were caught off guard and this Enderman was a bit special.
