LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 16: An Unlikely Visitor
(Slight correction, in the last chapter I said it had been 4 days since he arrived, that is wrong. It's more like three weeks since he did spend some time in Montana without the time dilation of his Pocket Dimension.)
When Samuel returned to his Pocket Dimension, his entire group appeared on the roof of his castle. Here, Samuel decided to give some orders to 682 and Doomsday.
"Before I set you loose, in my realm, there are some creatures that I didn't make. There are also human-derived species like cavemen. If you want to hunt go ahead. Don't just go on a pointless slaughter. That is an order."
The moment he said that 682 and Doomsday both bowed their heads. Every creature, he created was linked to him, and at any time he could unmake them. They had to follow his every order so even monsters like these two wouldn't try to disobey him.
SCP-682 did grumble about it.
"That is boring."
Doomsday on the other hand didn't care. He just jumped away to explore his new home. Samuel did pat 682 on his head.
"I guess, but as I said, the multiverse is vast and endless. I bet I can find a few universes where I won't mind you killing every living thing. Just not yet."
682 grumbled under his breath as he lumbered away. Samuel shook his head as while 682 hated all life, to him he was like a big cat. Wings sprouted from 682's back and he flew off to look for a nice river to chill out in.
As his two newest creations left his side, Diablo crossed his arms.
"That lizard is quite disobedient. How dare he grumble at your orders."
Samuel didn't mind it as even 682 would fight to the end to keep him safe.
"That is just how he is, but I bet before long I will give him what he seeks."
As for Mar-Vell who had been dragged along she thought about the Skrulls in her lab. They had plenty of supplies, but without the Tessaract she couldn't build them the Light Speed Engine.
The Kree would find them eventually and kill them all. As if sensing her emotions, Samuel glanced over at her.
"You don't have to worry about the Kree Empire or the lack of a Light Speed Engine. I have scientists that can make one for you in a few hours. That is why I brought you along. To me, a Light Speed Engine is what a toaster is to humans."
Mar-Vell frowned as she looked at him. She had seen what his monsters had done, just their presence had unleashed devastation. Thousands were dead and he didn't care.
"If that is true, why did you set your beasts loose on us? We did nothing to you."
Samuel's response made her sick to her stomach.
"You had something I wanted. Nothing more than that. I don't have a lot of time to spend on you and I got a lot to do."
Thanks to the Space Stone's complete domination of space by just thinking about it, he warped their location to the labs of his science team. When he arrived, he saw the entire team in their personal labs working on separate weapon systems, shields, or studying samples taken from the Celestial's blood and pieces.
When he arrived though, each member of his science team planned to drop what they were doing to receive him. He, however, stopped them as their work was more important than his ego.
"All of you stay where you are, I didn't come to slow you down. I am just here to speak to Shockwave."
Shockwave tilted his head as he left his lab to speak to Samuel. Shockwave looked more and more deadly because he continuously upgraded himself.
"How can I help, my Lord?"
Shockwave places one of his hands on his midsection before bowing. Samuel waved his hand and pushed Mar-Vell forward.
"This is Mar-Vell, a Kree Scientist. The Kree are quite advanced for this universe, but she wants to make a Light Speed Engine. How long would it take you to make one?"
Shockwave without hesitation, answered.
"If I just make the engine, an hour, if I have to add it to an existing vessel, maybe more. Shouldn't take more than four."
Samuel nodded as he looked at Mar-Vell.
"Here is what you will do. You will join my science team and you will give them all the Kree designs you know. In exchange, I will set you free and have a Light Speed Engine added to your lab in orbit. Something that simple, fair?"
Mar-Vell glanced around the gigantic lab, especially the towering Celestial. The most terrifying thing was Mag'ladroth, a gigantic shimmering dragon that made her feel pure dread.
Some of the other beings in this room felt the same. If she didn't take the deal, the Krulls would die and her work would be for nothing. Plus, even if she tried to steal some of the information from his scientists, he was just going to erase those memories.
"Deal."
Samuel nodded.
"Good. Until next time."
Once again, in a flash of blue energy, Samuel teleported himself and his group out of the laboratory. His destination though was his Throne Room, but when he arrived he frowned.
Someone was sitting on his throne and it was someone he didn't create. 2B, Diablo, Grayfia, Puck, Belion, Igris, and Beru all also didn't recognize her. Diablo leaned over before whispering to Samuel.
"My Lord, did you make a woman like this?"
Samuel placed a hand on his chin as he looked at the woman. She had really pale skin, dark robes, and long white hair. He knew exactly who she was, but he decided to mess around. He leaned over and whispered back.
"No, I don't think I did."
Diablo nodded.
"I see."
Samuel and Diablo continued to nod to each other before they turned back to the woman. If Samuel didn't make her, where did she come from? He stepped forward before waving politely.
"Hi, and who might you be?"
The woman frowned as this was not the reaction she was expecting. Though from what she could see from Samuel, he was being a smart ass.
"Guess."
Samuel shrugged.
"Beats me. Beru, you recognize her?"
The large shadowy Ant shook his head.
"Nope, and she is on your throne, my Lord. What should we do?"
Mistress Death's brows began to tense, but before she could say anything Samuel stopped joking.
"I know who you are. What did I do to get a visit from Mistress Death herself?"
Samuel picked up Goose from his shoulder before handing her to Grayfia who took the Flerken from him. He then walked up the steps to his throne before standing before her on his throne.
She smiled as she crossed one of her legs over the other.
"You really have no idea? Not even a guess?"
Samuel sat down on the armrest of his throne before nodding.
"I bet it has to do with my ability to make pretty much anything. I can create living creatures or even undead. I could make things that give life, or take it. Or was it me making Doomsday and 682, two beings that can never die, and taking their power for myself."
Mistress Death nodded a bit with her eyes narrowed.
"Exactly. Your creations until now were curious, amusing even, but those two got my attention. Then you took their adaptive and regenerating strength into your own genes. Now, you have basically become unkillable.
I guess congratulations are in order, not every day a new immortal pops up."
Samuel nodded.
"Thanks for the compliment. Now, are you here because you want me to make you something or are you just here to visit?"
Death stood up from Samuel's throne which he used to sit himself down.
"The latter. I just came to see you in person. My sister Life is more likely to visit you in the future as well. Your power falls more into her Domain than mine. Then again, with your plan to get an Astral Regulator, maybe I should just kill you. Just because you can adapt or regenerate from anything, what stops me from just removing your soul from your body?"
She reached down and grabbed him by his throat. Samuel didn't even flinch as he looked up at her. He wasn't even afraid because if she could do that, she would have done that to Deadpool on many occasions.
"Why would you though?"
Death released his throat before taking Samuel's place on the armrest.
"True, I am more interested in what you will do in the future. With just one Infinity Stone, you could make something like those two brutes. What happens with all 6 or beyond?"
Samuel smiled as even he wanted to know.
"Ah, while I have you here, are there other reincarnations in this reality?"
She nodded.
"Of course, you aren't special. There is always a couple, The One Above All allows their entrance because he has a deep fascination with the outside. Things that he didn't create cause change which he loves to obverse. Why?"
Samuel thought about those other reincarnations.
"Have you harvested any?"
That made her smirk.
"More than you can count. Many thought they would become the next big thing, but they just died before they made it big. Others, left long ago to explore the outside. Some are still around thinking they are the chosen ones.
However, I will tell you this, even if you traveled the Multiverse looking for them you guys would never run into each other. The One Above All doesn't like his shows to interrupt each other so you can consider yourself alone."
As Samuel thought of that information he guessed it made sense. If Reincarnation could meet most would try to kill each other as they would consider themselves the main characters. Especially if they used to be losers who got some wished to be OP.
He did wonder what the Gods Of Reincarnation gained out of this. It was something he would need to study, but for now, he stood up. Learning this made him feel he was wasting time.
"This was very informative, Lady Death. Can I expect you to visit me in the future?"
Death crossed her arms under her ample chest before smiling.
"Maybe. Until then, Samuel. Maybe think about changing that name a bit, a god in the making can't go by Samuel forever."
With that, Mistress Death disappeared from his site. When she was gone, Samuel leaned back against his Throne. Diablo, Grayfia, 2B, and the rest stayed quite as Samuel seemed to be thinking.
This quite only lasted a few moments, but when he stood up he had a serious look on his face.
"Guess I have to speed up my plans."
Grayfia wondered what that meant.
"What do you have in mind?"
"I will speed up my hunt for the Infinity Stones. They will be a stepping stone, but I have a way to prevent a situation like this from happening again. I will be away for a day or two until they await my return."
Samuel teleported himself to the top of his castle again. He whistled calling his favorite pets to his side again. Giratina, Dialga, and Palkia answered his call teleporting to his location again.
The three gods looked down as they could tell he had need of them. Samuel raised his hand before he resonated his mind with theirs.
"Resonance."
Instantly, Giratina, Dialga, and Palkia burst into pure energy before they slammed into him. Once again, Samuel's body began to change as he fused with the three godly Pokemon.
He was covered in golden, black, blue, and purple biological armor. His own World Sage Powers synchronized with the Space Stone in his heart with the divinities of his three godly Pokemon.
He teleported out of his Pocket Dimension returning to Earth. When he did so, the sheer divine power radiating from him was far more devastating than the first time. Samuel placed his hands over his chest where the Space Stone was contained in his heart.
With Palkia, Giratina, and Dialga fused with him, his ability to draw power from the Space Stone got elevated to nearly omnipotent abilities. His Divine Sense expanded through the universes outside the Milky Way Galaxy.
He quickly located the planet Morag, the location of the Orb that contained The Power Stone. He warped to its location in a burst of Divine Power to claim his second Infinity Stone.
---
Death from her realm carefully observed the actions of Samuel. She was very interested in what Samuel would do when he collected all six Infinity Stones. He would lose their power if he left the universe he was currently in, so what did he truly plan to do to not lose his power?
She was for the first time in a long time quite excited about what he would do in the future. What monstrosities would he create if he had all Six Stones to fuel his creations? She could not wait to see it.
