------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With Operation Thanos Prime officially on the go, it was time to focus on my next item, conquering the earth, but not really, the quest of the day, or week, who knows how long it will take me, as there were many things to consider, details more than not.

So I had the Ancient One taking care of that, at times I feel like I should have her on a six-figure salary, maybe a seven-figure salary. Anyway, in the meantime, I was focusing on other matters, like planning for Knull's arrival. What can I say? My agenda has been quite busy this week, but back to Knull, as I planned for him, I sadly realized I was more unprepared than I first imagined.

My original plans were simple, rather straightforward so to speak, and that was collecting the infinity stones, and using their power against him, unfortunately, I soon found out, that would not be possible.

Why? Well… allow me to explain.

At the dawn of the universe, there was nothing. Then, at the forge of creation. The Big Bang sent six elemental crystals hurtling across the virgin universe. These crystals were known as the Infinity Stones with each controlling an essential aspect of existence.

Now… where is the problem in all that?

Well, the problem is that Knull existed before… existence, he was there before the dawn of the universe, he was there before time, space, anything for that matter.

He existed before everything, including life, for life was created later, through the hands of the Celestials.

Knull existed before the very fucking concept of life and death, meaning he's older than one primordial beings in creation, which also means he's immortal, well, technically the term with him is amortal.

What's amortality? I'm glad you asked voice in my head.

Amortality differs from any form of immortality in a fundamental essence, which is defined as a living being who cannot die, while amortality means entities who cannot die because they were never alive, to begin with. Almost like a ghost but not really, because ghosts were once living beings, and Knull was never that.

To put it on better terms, Knull is forever frozen in a state of unbirth, rendering him unable to die due to not being alive at all, to begin with. Meaning he essentially lives in a state that's considered neither dead nor alive.

Meaning, that not only that the stones can't affect him, because he's a being outside their realm entirely, but death as well.

Which explains why they sealed him instead of killing him in the first place because the latter was impossible to achieve.

But, fortunately for me, even amortals can die, which… on itself, it's a paradox.

"I will get a headache with that," I sighed.

While ammortals were certainly the closest thing to true immortals I knew for the moment being, that they were not invincible, with them still susceptible to certain things, like for one, being erased which came in handy with my skill, or being given life.

What do I mean by giving life? Well, exactly that, giving life to him. Granted, both ways required me to be well above his level, which I wasn't, but it was good to know there were solutions.

"I suppose I can do the Knull time walking dungeon for training," I mused at the idea, I mean, fighting against Knull, or at least a copy of him, would give me a general idea of what to expect.

Then again, I could also save myself the hassle, and use the time stone to see him, but that would open the possibility of being caught, which would not be ideal.

Bottom line is, that I have some options.

Dangerous options, but options nonetheless.

—----------------------

As I dwelled on the Knull subject for hours without a clear path to take, I started to experiment with powers I had obtained after absorbing Tiamut, if anything to pass the time amongst them, there was the ability to create sentient life, from humans to Eternals, how cool was that?

Of course, I wasn't quite ready to create my own species, and the implications that brought, so I decided to create something simple, a dog.

Sure, it wasn't an adventurous project, but it was good enough for me. Needless to say, the dog I created wasn't a normal dog, let's just say to short the story up, that I got creative while playing around with my bible like powers and ended up creating the marvel's version of Krypto the dog.

An Eternal-based dog, using a golden retriever as an aesthetic base.

[Fernando De La Vega Walker - Eternal Dog - LV 244]

He… he picked his name, I'll be honest… I have no idea what went wrong with him, like, for some reason he acts like a telenovela actor, from Spain.

"It is! Fernando De La Vega Walker! Primero!" Oh yeah, he talks and barks.

"Didn't I tell you I was working and I wanted to be left alone?" I asked with a sigh.

"Indeed you did, but since then, two whole long painful minutes have passed! And I! Fernando De La Vega Walker! Primero! Can't leave my honorable owner alone! It is my duty to protect you! It is written in the code of dogs! A CODE I uphold with my life!" Code of… he has been alive for ten minutes!?

I sighed, maybe next time I'll test my powers with something… less excitable, a turtle maybe, "Wanna go for a walk?" 

"A walk, I knew doing my duty would eventually bring this poor dog his reward, to think I Fernando De–" At this, I glared at him, his name thing was getting old, which was to say something, he was ten minutes old or so, "I apologize, honorable master, I shall refrain from saying my caliente name!"

I snorted, hot-name my ass, "Sure, by the way, I have a cat," I added.

"That's no problem! As the superior pet, I shall protect that inferior being! Loving him, or her, with the love only a superior pet can offer!" Fernando barked wagging his tail, as he put one paw on his furry chest.

"Hmmm," I should warn him about the tentacles, but I kinda want to see how this unfolds, "Sure."

The girls loved Fernando, the Eternal dog, Emily more than Nat, who was a bit weirded out by his mannerism, which I really couldn't blame her for, I wonder where I went wrong with him.

"Dad, can you make Goose talk?" Emily asked, holding Fernando like a plushie against her chest.

I mused at the idea, in theory, it should be possible, but that would entail giving the animal in question more intelligence, and frankly, I wasn't sure I wanted a talking Cthulu model cat, "Maybe," I replied, giving her a small smile.

"Can you try? Pleaseeee?" And there it is, the big dog eyes.

"But senorita! I am the only talking pet and protector this family needs!" Fernando protested, his once wagging tail now frozen.

I sighed, rolling my eyes, "I will look into it, but I promise nothing," I smiled, kissing her forehead, "Fernando was a creation, made from my very own energy, I made his body, mind, and soul, capable of withstanding a higher level of sentience, one beyond a dog, one comparable to that of a human, with Goose, on the other hand, I would have to alter her on a fundamental level, something I have yet to try, and could end… very poorly."

"I… I see," Emily nodded.

"Besides sis, let's first see… how having one talking pet feels like, it might annoy us," Nat smirked, giving Fernando a quick glance.

"Annoy you?! I would never! I am the perfect pet senorita! I'm loyal, I'm fluffy! I'm absurdly handsome! And powerful! What else would anyone want from a dog?" Fernando huffed.

"He's adorable!" Emily giggled, hugging Fernando tighter.

"Indeed! I am!" Fernando obviously agreed with her.

"So… between you and me dad," Nat muttered, getting close enough for me to hear her, "Was his personality something you picked or was that random?" 

"No idea," I replied, chuckling under my breath.

"Don't worry senorita, you will grow to love me! I mean look at my paws!" Fernando barked, putting one of his paws up for Nat to see.

"How did you… oh, right, dogs have significantly better hearing than humans," Nat sighed.

I laughed, wondering what was next? A talking goldfish named Klaus? Now that's an idea, making a super-powered talking goldfish capable of destroying armies, I mean, can you imagine the look on a robber's face when he has to fight a goldfish?

I might just do it for shits and giggles.

I might even add a crow or a raven to the mix, just to annoy Odin.

—-------------------------------

Leaving Fernando with the girls with one clear directive, protecting them at all costs, I had lunch with Sif, who I hadn't seen in a while, as our schedules had been tight with many events during the last month, we talked about stuff, nothing in particular and watched some TV before she had to return to her daily duties, and I to mine.

In my office, I followed up on my last endeavors, the ones Fernando and his antics had interrupted, like operation Thanos, and the recovery of the reality stone.

The rumors had yet to reach Thanos, but I wasn't too worried about that, sooner or later, the big purple man would hear my lies, and when he did, I had beacons of energy spread across the universe, beacons that would alert me the moment he heard what I had spread, or one of their generals discovered.

In case none of the above heard my lies and other… power-hungry beings tried to… find where the stone was, I had golems set in place, golems that were powerful enough to take on Thanos with ease, after all, only the ears of the Titan were privy to the information I was to give.

So, all and all, the only thing I had to focus on right now, beyond the imminent wake of Knull, was the Reality Stone.

"I guess I could get it now," I mean, there wasn't anything stopping me from doing that, so why wait? I guess my mind has been otherwise occupied with stuff, oh well, "Time to break into a sealed dimension," I chuckled, equipping the space stone, who in conjecture with my cosmic power should easily break the seal that kept the reality stone pocket dimension away, giving me access to the Stone and the elves that were locked away with it.

Right, I had almost forgotten, the elves, now this, brings up a good point, what to do with the dark elves, as far as I know, they were the sworn enemies of Asgard, as were the Frost Giants, so… was I to offer then a chance like Thor did with the Frost Giants? Or to deal with them like pests?

I hummed, deciding that a decision like this required more information, after all, I couldn't decide the fate of a race on a whim with no data to make an educated choice.

Smiling I opened a system and accessed the search function to find out everything there was to know about the Dark Elves, from there, I would make my choice.

[Searching… Dark Elves.]

[Dark Elves -

The Dark Elf race originated in the Ginnungagap also known as the yawning abyss, a place of primordial darkness that existed prior to the creation of the universe, where they reigned absolute and unchallenged, serving their master.

When their master fell to the blade of light, and the universe came into being at the hands of the Celestials and other civilizations quickly arose, the Dark Elves sought the return of their master by reverting the universe to its former state of darkness, one ruled by the one true king. To achieve this end, their leader, the sorcerer Malekith, acquired the Reality Stone, using it to make a weapon capable of changing the very fabric of reality as a whole, with it, their plan was simple, bring the universe back to its original state, and serve Knull once more.

Their first attempt was stopped by Bor.

Their second attempt was stopped by Odin.]
