(Aden's P.O.V)
Space...is a cloth.
And I am a tailor. Making small adjustments guaranteed me the correct result I was after.
However, big adjustments and I would have to contend with destabilizing the foundation of reality. Just something to keep in mind for later...Reality is fucking ruthless and nobody's momma, not unless you were a cosmic being or the blue guy. I could feel him watching...
My enemies were all frozen within a constricting hold that pressed down on them with the full gravitational force of the sun's core. It was omnidirectional and slow as fuck, guaranteeing they would feel every bone in their body start to start to start to snap. Semantics.
Basically, the pain would be immeasurable and it would be doubly so for Vandal Savage. It was easy to see now. My computational skills had shot through the roof and I was still in my base form. The dude had Lobo's regeneration.
Base form only gave me access to a fraction of the enhancement from each of my divinities.
See my ascension had brought about more questions than answers. For starters, I had no fucking clue how to use my authorities. Yup. Everything else was instinctual. My flames had grown intuitive enough that I could...ok ding ding no spoilers Aden.
I had more power in my pinky toe than I'd ever had in my life. It was exhilarating, addicting and oh so scary.

(Ascension Complete)
(Congratulations)
(Attained 2 divinities)

-FIRE
(The Ascension has resulted in you gaining the following godly abilities:-
Shapeshifting:- You can change the way you look just by willing it.
Power Distribution:- You can grant a mortal of your choosing access to any of your divinities in exchange for carrying out your will. (Highly dependent on FAITH)
Psionic Abilities:- As a higher being, your mind is capable of accessing the Psionic realm, a subshoot of The Sage Force and gaining certain abilities:-
Telepathy- You can read minds, control them with relative ease depending on the strength of the subject and alter memories.
Telekinesis- You can omnidirectionally move objects without physically touching them. At higher levels this ability grants limited control over the world.
Divine Sense- You can sense things from millions of miles away with excellent clarity. Extra dimensional phenomenal is hidden from your gaze as long as you're not explicitly searching it out. This includes hidden realms and beings.
Superhuman Strength:- For each divinity you possess, you strength is magnified from its base by a permanent multiplication of 10 when you are in your normal form. Current enhancement at 20×. Able to lift 3000 tons with relative ease.
Superhuman Speed: - For each divinity you possess, your speed is magnified by a permanent multiplication of 10 when you're in your normal form. Current enhancement at 20×. Able to move at Mach 20.
Superhuman Endurance:- For each divinity you possess, your endurance is highly increased. Cannot quantify Stamina. Able to fight at full power for months without tiring.
Immortality:- Your longevity far surpasses a lower lifeform. With the added benefit of being The Anthropomorphic representation of !-#%™[=√¢®. Dying is kinda hard. Be careful of god slaying artefacts and beings on your level or above it though.
Regeneration:- your enhanced healing has evolved by a few ranks. You now possess high speed regeneration. Able to regrow a hand in minutes. Losing a head will put you out of commission for... eternity? Evolving this ability will see it reach its final level.
Elementalization:- This ability allows you to exclusively access one of your elemental divinities for added power and select invulnerability. All Physical parameters increased by 100x. Your body enters a state of elemental composition with its own exclusive abilities only gained through elementalization:-
Divine Domain:- A zone of your chosen element where you have full control.
Elemental Teleportation:- You can travel through the element with no restrictions.
Full Control:- Doesn't matter whose ability it is, similar elemental attacks to your divinity even from enemies can be controlled.

Water (Unlocked)
::----------------------------------------------------------------::
So Yes, more powerful than I'd ever thought I could get. Yet so many questions to ask. Especially given the mission I had received upon leaving my realm. Luckily, my White Shadow Persona had gotten rid of all the chaos rifts in hell. And that had seemingly been enough for the system, though I suspected that the rest of the errant chaos rifts had been dealt with by something else. Something no doubt on the level of the Lords of Chaos.
I can still feel his gaze...
I had elected to check out the rewards for that mission later, for now what caught my attention was the new mission.
::---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------::
(Mission Alert!)
(Rage of a God)
They dared lay hands on something that isn't theirs to claim. Someone precious to you. They dared blaspheme against a GOD. Unleash your fury and watch them burn in the flames of their own arrogance.
Mission Objectives:-
Show Vandal Savage the error of his ways.
Save Starfire and your unborn child.
Completely decimate their forces.
Defeat HIM.
Mission Parameters:-
Time Limit:- N/A
Mission Difficulty:- Nightmare.
Mission Rewards:-
FAITH UNLOCKED.
::---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------::
For starters, the mission objectives had been hella vague.
Secondly there was only one reward. Nothing else despite the mission difficulty being Nightmare, a level I had never once seen before, despite my Tango with the Hell Lords. Was unlocking faith just as valuable as getting 2 perks, 200 training points and 1 unique ability from the Avatar franchise? My instinct told me... yes.
And while the mission difficulty was an indication that this was not going to be a cake walk, the cold fury inside me assured that it wasn't me I was supposed to worry about. Darkseid was about to understand why you don't fuck with the Avatar.
All of this went through my mind in Picoseconds. Crossing the distance between me and the mystic circle where Star lay was done with barely any effort. Space was mine to do with what I wanted. And I wasn't shy in using it seeing as the whole Zone surrounding the Mystic circle was frozen.
The black sun made up of my chaos energy had stilled in place, along with the flickering red essence's of the Chaos Lords. They had tried to escape after I had done away with Savage and his retinue. I snorted, weaklings didn't even give me a workout.
The frozen space folded around me as I walked into the magic circle. All other thoughts were discarded as I knelt down and pulled the unconscious woman into my arms. My heart felt like it was on the verge of breaking apart with relief and fear.
"I am so sorry Star. None of this was supposed to happen. I should have kept you far far away from this kind of danger."
I swept her beautiful hair away from her face.
Then hit my forehead with my tightened fist.
"So much for being the Avatar."
I had fucked up. Immensely. I felt her hand grasp my own and interlock our fingers. Looking up in a bit of surprise, I could tell she was still asleep.
"Aden..."
My name passed through her lips softly. I could feel the love, the care and consideration she held for me.
I moved our interlocked hands to her protruding belly. She was close to four months old, just missing a few days. My energy joined her own, pulsing in a specific gentle frequency as I rubbed our creation.
I barked out a single emotional laugh as another pulse made itself known. Weak, uneven but distinctly sharing properties to both Star and mine. my lips stretched out in a wide smile. Our child. My baby...
"So eager to join us in this crazy world huh kiddo?"
I wiped the trail of tears in embarrassment. It wasn't like me to get so emotional goddamit! Another laugh escaped me before I breathed in, out and centered myself.
"I promise you this Star. For as long as I live..." My gaze sharpened looking around us at the frozen space. The red wisps of flames belonging to the Lords of Chaos almost seemed to flicker in fear.
"THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN."
I declared, rising up, careful not to jostle her too much.
Equity appeared in my left arm while I cradled Star gently with a soft breeze that levitated her body before me. I kissed her forehead just as a boom tube swallowed her gently. Star would wake up next to Kai in our soft bed.
Now then...time to deal with this problem. They hurt what was mine...may the presence have mercy on their souls because I wouldn't.
I pointed my weapon at the black sun above. Using my increased perception, it was easy to understand the function of the magic circle. A powerful geass designed to bind the soul, mind and body of the target to the caster.
A sudden rise of fury slammed into me again. I pushed it down, they were going to suffer. Looking at the six pointed star it was clear to see who the caster was. Equity traced the invisible threads of connection to her. As Child was in a physical vessel, she would have more conscious control over the mystic energy needed to combine with my own higher quality chaos energy, to place a slave tag on my child.
Now you might be wondering why. Why go to all this trouble...guess I'm about to find out.
I unfroze Child.
"Flaw! Kill him! Kill him kill HIIIMM!!"
Her face and voice changed at the last second, sounding panicked and inhuman. The huge crystal familiar wasted no time in jumbling forward at crazy speeds, arm changing into a huge scythe like weapon.
It swung the bladed limb down at me with force strong enough to shatter a full continent. Equity rose up to meet the swing. Flaw lost it's arm. A clean cut where the bladed limb detached and slammed onto the floor with a clang. For a second, I thought I could see surprise in its inexpressive face.
Then Equity sliced out. Space converged around the blade's edge and then split off into numerous deadly severing strings. Trillions, then quadrillions of super imposed, compressed and tight slashes. One strike copied across a single zone endlessly.
The blade landed once but hit the crystal familiar almost an infinite number of times. Starlight exploded outwards; Esoteric matter from the universe as everything within where Flaw had occupied collapsed into jagged spatial rifts no different from billions and billions of miniature black holes.
All the size of subatomic particles. I frowned and waved a hand, getting rid of the unnatural phenomenal before I casually destroyed the galaxy.
A keening wail sounded out of child. Her form begun to flicker from the material world.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Seeing a middle school kid cough out blood as Equity speared through her solar plexus was disturbing.
Her eyes were pools of fear. The hate long gone.
"What...what are you?!"
I cocked my head to the side. I've always wanted to say this.
"The ghost of Christmas future."
My mouth split up into a wide smile full of malice. Reversing the mystical circle to serve me was easy enough due to the fact that my energy was the crux of the magic circle. Black lines rained down from the black sun overhead, connecting the red essences of the Chaos Lords to Child, then to Equity before eventually me.
"And I'm here to say you've been very naughty Scrooge..." I stilled and scrunched up my face in distaste.
"See what you fucking did... I am so mad, it's messing with my one liners."
She gurgled out more blood. I shook my head.
"Its about time you were replaced from your unworthy position by someone else. Someone competent."
Then I pulled.
A multitude of voices spread out across the multiverse from a higher dimension, joined in a chorus. Some asked for pity. Others like Mordru tried to curse me with potent dark magicks. None of it took. I was finally living up to the mantle of the Lord of Chaos.
Besides, you never say no to a power up.
