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

I teleported to Ego's main body, as his avatar flew to earth.

I knew the moment I made contact with his real body, his avatar would dispel, after all, it was all a matter of concentration, if Ego felt he was in danger, he wouldn't have the mind to keep an avatar and focus on whatever was attacking his body.

Floating a few hundred thousand miles away from his main body, as far as the moon would be from the earth.

I inspected his body in detail. 

He was powerful, yet painfully weak, it was a weird mix to see.

His weakness was what made him powerful, a lone brain, without a body to protect it from harm.

It would've been almost sad if Ego wasn't a sociopath to the letter.

I sighed, opening my map to check on his avatar, and sure enough, his avatar was still on its way to earth.

Meaning Ego was yet to become aware of my presence above him.

Good.

This gave me time to evaluate the situation.

As far as fighting him, I wasn't troubled at all, he was not only weaker than me, but his body made it so, that even if he were to be stronger than me, I would still come out triumphant.

No, what I wanted to assess was another matter altogether, and that matter was. Would killing him be actually worth it?

Not that his life had any value whatsoever, no, far from it, his life was as valuable as a pile of trash, but his power, on the other hand, his power was certainly valuable.

My conundrum was simple, was I to kill him, and let his cosmic power go to waste, or was I to consume him, as I had done with Tiamut, and the magical beasts at Cagliostro's library.

The conundrum itself wasn't a moral one, I was far past those inner debates about the morality of ending a life, no, this was more a debate or whether I didn't mind or not getting an aspect of his personality.

Sure, any changes I didn't embrace would eventually fade away, leaving nothing but a sour taste in my mouth.

But, considering the character, I had to weigh the cons very carefully.

"It would help me against Knull," I sighed, at the end of the end, that was my main problem, after all, and if eating Ego would help me deal with that, then I suppose dealing with a bit of sociopathy wasn't that bad, considering it was a temporary arrangement, "Well, time to say hi," I added as I descended towards Ego at breaking speed, landing on his body within a second or two.

Immediately after landed, his avatar faded, leaving a very alert Ego moving things around his body, in a futile attempt to fight me I reckoned.

"It wouldn't kill you to say hi," I said, looking around the place, for a show of a planet, a case filled with nothing, he had done an amazing job making this place look like a real planet.

As I observed his craft carefully, an avatar of his being formed in front of me, frowning as he asked, "Who are you?"

"Alex," I replied, paying him little to no attention, I was otherwise too absorbed seeing how he had formed the animals from cosmic power, his handicraft was impeccable.

"Is that supposed to tell me something?" Ego asked, taking a few steps toward me.

"No, not really," I replied, turning to face him with a smile, "I doubt you have heard of me, I mean, you haven't been on earth for a bit, so, yeah."

"Great," Ego rolled his eyes, as the earth beneath me caved, leaving me in a falling state.

It didn't take me long to figure out that he intended to crush me.

He was either very optimistic, or dumb, had he not realized the power I had within me, I mean, I wasn't actively trying to hide my cosmic power, he should've felt it.

Sighing, I teleported to his real body, his brain with a simple thought, realizing any chat with him would bring nothing but headaches.

 "So this is the real you," I hummed, my face centimeters away from the lone brain known as Ego.

"DON'T TOUCH THAT!" A voice shouted in a state of panic coming from behind me.

"Didn't want to, but now, I kind of do," I replied turning around to see a newly formed avatar staring at me, in utter fear.

I smirked viciously, he had finally noticed, took him long enough.

"We can talk about this, I'm sure we can work something out," Ego pleaded, looking into my eyes all while he started to form multiple things around me. I couldn't see those things, but, I could feel the cosmic energy around shifting, so it wasn't hard to add things up.

"Sure, all I want is your power, can you give me that?" I smiled, pretending to go along.

"Yes, whatever your wish, I can grant it," Ego nodded, smiling as without any warning hundreds of golden spears protruded from the walls around his brain, attacking me from every conceivable direction.

They did no damage.

"Really, you have the power to control atoms, and you attack me with spears? The most basic weapon of all?" I sighed, erasing the spears away with a pulse of cosmic energy that turned every single spear into dust.

"Please, you don't have to do this!" Ego seeing his plan, if we can call that plan not work, decided to beg as I sighed at the sight.

"I would feel bad if your kill count and morals didn't make Hitler look like an ok example for a growing kid," I smiled, creating the runic circle necessary for the ritual to absorb him.

"Who are you to judge?! Those who I have killed are sheep, our food, food you consumed to emerge! Why is it wrong when I do it? But okay when you do it?!" Ego roared, his brain turning red from the usual shade of blue.

"Oh," I chuckled, realizing his confusion, "I see your confusion, so before ending you, allow me to clarify, I didn't emerge, nor I consumed any… sheep, as you speak, but don't be confused, I have consumed, but not sheep, wolves, and you, my friend, just happen to be a wolf, and I just happen to be hungry."

"What… what do you mean by wolves… No, you can't mean," Ego muttered, his avatar taking a few steps back in horrified realization.

"I was just using your own metaphor, if sheep are mortals in this, then well, wolves had to be the celestials," I smiled.

"I… no, this can't be! They wouldn't allow it!" Ego barked, making the entire planet shake.

"Don't worry, it's not like it concerns you anymore," I replied, starting the ritual, the time for talks was over.

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

Ritual started, I pushed Ego into a battle of the minds, where he struggled in utter dread for his life, for his individuality, for everything he ever held dear, himself.

Tragically for him, all this did was delay the inevitable by a few seconds or so.

Little by little, his power, his memories, everything that made Ego, Ego, was making mine.

"PLEASE!" Ego pleaded, his screams echoing across my mind as he tried to run away from what was a mental battleground without escape, without an exit, not until one of us ceased to be.

"The more you fight it, the more pain you will bring upon you," I replied, staring at him with a coldblooded indifference, the more his essence became mine, the less pity I felt for the monster in front of me, his crimes were unforgivable.

Everything he did in his life was heinous, one atrocious act after the other. Never regretting a single thing, there wasn't a grain of remorse in him, a grain of pity for his victims, for the toys as he called them that he used for his amusement.

"PLEASE! I CAN'T CEASE TO EXIST, I NEED TO CHANGE THE COSMOS!" 

A monster, devoid of all emotions, yet capable of feeling fear. How utterly pathetic.

"No one, will ever remember you," I spat, finally overpowering his will as I opened my eyes into the real world, the echoes of his last scream, resonating in my head, one last time, "Stats."

]

Only 195 levels? Not bad, but I expected more. It also seemed like absorbing him had only increased certain stats by a lot, like INT, WIS, CHA and LUK, but left the rest without much modification.

Beggars can't be choosers.

"Time to go back," I had a playdate to attend to, I was already late as it was.

—--------------------------

I teleported back to Asgard, changing into a moral casual attire before going over Emily's room.

"Are you ready baby girl?" I asked, knocking on her door.

"Yes!" Without waiting another second, Emily replied, practically kicking the door open in excitement.

I chuckled, patting her on the head, "Well, lead the way then, I have no idea where we are going." 

"To the park!" Emily replied, grabbing a hold of my hand before tugging me to follow her, which I did.

"So, tell me more about Vest and Mr. Ara," I asked. Something about all of this had me intrigued, maybe it was the prank of Bucky's arm, but I just felt there was something more to this than meets the eye. 

Yet, I didn't feel like I should be on alert, which I suppose was the weirdest thing about the situation.

"Well, Vest is my best friend, she likes cooking, as you already know," Emily giggled, before continuing, "Her dad is… a weird man, not a bad weird… more like a cartoonish weird, if that makes any sense."

Cartoonish weird?

"What do you mean by that?" I asked with a small chuckle, wondering what she meant.

"Well," Emily mused at the question, trying to find the right words to word it out, "You know Bugs Bunny, right?"

Did I know about Bugs Bunny?! I grew up with him, and indoctrinated my kids to love him!

"Of course, childhood idol," I nodded.

"He's like him," Emily replied.

Oh… cartoonish weird, I see, that explains the prank with Bucky.

"Oh,"

"Yep," Emily giggled, as she continued to lead me towards the park.

—--------------

We arrived at the park before Mr. Ara, and his daughter, Vest arrived, so with nothing to do, I took the time and played with Emily as we waited for them to arrive.

For a bit, we played hide and seek, where Emily made me promise I would not use my map to find her, I understood her concern about me cheating that way, my ability makes hide and seek pointless, if I so desire to use it.

After being thoroughly defeated by Emily and her superior hiding skills.

We both sat on the swings and started using them, while talking about nothing in particular, silly stuff for the most part, we stayed like this for a good while, until two green dots appeared on my map.

"So sorry! We didn't mean to be late!" The voice of a girl around Emily's age said as I turned around to face her, beside her, there was a man, smiling as he walked towards us, carrying a box of sweets with a delectable aroma that basically floated out of the box.

[Vest Focis] [Ara Focis]

"I took the wrong turn, my deepest apologies," Mr. Ara chuckled, scratching the back of his head.

I frowned, their names floating above their heads, they had no levels, nothing but their names.

"I understand," I replied, deciding that at least for now, I would play it safe, at least until I confirmed where their power level was placed. Before that, I had to prevent unnecessary confrontations.

"Vest!" Emily smiled, jumping out of the swing, rushing to hug her friend, who smiled at the sight in a loving manner.

"Em! How have you been?" Vest, who was currently being hugged blue by Emily asked.

"Good, nothing new really," Emily replied, breaking off the hug while doing so.

"Oh, I see," Vest nodded, before turning her gaze towards me, and immediately I realized that something about her burning-looking eyes, about the way she looked at me, made me feel warm. It was strange, mystifying even.

"Hi, Mr. Walker," Vest smiled, coming towards me, her right hand extended expecting a handshake.

"Hi," I smiled in kind, taking her hand.

"Well girls, go and play, Mr. Walker and I, we'll be here in case any of you need us, probably eating what I brought in the box," Mr. Ara chuckled, as Vest gave him a look I couldn't quite read.

"Ok, have fun daddy!" Emily nodded, grabbing Vest's hand before running into the park.

"Hi," Mr. Ara waved.

"Hi," I replied, wondering how this would go.
