"Uhh... We have noticed that you have remodelled our Earth so wanted to see what the fuss was all about." Bast said. Though it was a panther who was speaking the language of humans, the voice was of a girl.
"Sorry about that! But we had to make this decision as the previous Earth was running out of space for everybody. Did this change affect the other dimensions?" Strange said.
Both Best and Khnosu shook their heads, while there were no emotions from the face of Agamotto or rather his fiery face was not able to convey any kinds of emotions.
"Hold on!! Hold on!! Who are you people?" Constantine finally intervened as he had no idea who these people were. John had never told them of their presence. Or it would be better to say he never shared memories of the smaller Gods with them and since these small gods never interfered in anything magical it never mattered to them.
Until now.
"Let me introduce you all." John said as he saw that some people here had no idea who the other party was. Mordo and others were dumbfounded knowing that these new people were the Gods of other dimensions.
"Uh I have been disrespectful.. It's nice to meet you all." Constantine said.
"Why does your face have a sense of mockery for us instead of being all serious?" Khnonsu said as everybody could easily tell that Constantine didn't really care about them or gave enough respect to them.
"You are not thinking straight, skull head. All I have is respect for you." Constantine said. Listening to this, they were pretty sure that this British guy had no respect for anybody.
"You want to help us in building the Sanctums?" John asked as he needed to change the awkward topic. He didn't have any kind of dissatisfaction for them, because at the end they were very old beings and have been serving for the protection of Earth for a long time. Though they betrayed the people of the universe by not helping them during the time of crisis. But in the end even if they wanted they couldn't. This decision came from high up and they just followed orders.
In their weird ways for sure, but they have been doing it for a long time. (Marc Spector is not the only Moon Knight, Since the dawn of men there has been Black Panther, Moon Knight, Ghost Rider and other heroes who served as the protector of humanity)
"If you allow us to. The first Sanctum was built by me. I don't want my name to be wiped away." Agamotto spoke for the first time in his raspy and chilly tone. His voice seemed like he had been smoking cigarettes all his life.
"Do you want to insert your hands in such dirty work for us?" Z asked as she felt sceptical of why a God would just come and offer help for such a trivial matter.
"Normally we wouldn't have come, but you have changed Earth on a massive scale and this needs intricate knowledge of all dimensions to put up a proper defense. I don't want my old enemies to resurface just because you didn't do the job well." Khonsu said with his judgmental tone.
"Fine fine.. You are welcome to come here and watch." Constantine said after raising his hands accepting their presence in such a project.
"You are welcome to join us but on the promise that you will not use any kinds of underhanded methods or backdoor to the Sanctums." Strange said as he didn't trust these Gods completely. If there was no John, Strange would not have allowed them to even come here.
Since John belonged to the lineage of Gods, he didn't stop them. It would be rude. Honestly, he wasn't exactly afraid of them. He too had been powered by the world tree and he was its champion.
"Thanks for accepting us in this project. I know you all don't trust us because of the history of Black Winter but you have to understand our hands were tied too. We had to do this." Agamotto said as he could sense the feelings of distrust from the current Sorcerer Supreme.
"Forget it. Let's go through the Sanctums again and make sure its perfect for Earth. You can give your inputs in them and we will incorporate it." Strange said. The trio nodded their heads and looked at the drawings of the Sanctums that were to be installed.
Soon everybody got involved and started discussing the proper way to build a Sanctum while providing the strongest defense to all of Earth and even to the moons. And after an hour of discussion they finally came to a conclusion about the Sanctums and their locations.
It took the mages and the gods one complete day to build all the Sanctums. All the new Sanctums got connected to the old ones and even to the one at the Ring at the Tower of Fate. With this connection the whole of Earth was now completely protected from any kind of magical dangers and entities that might be a threat to Earth.
Earth now was completely safe from the magical dangers and beings. All that was remaining was inhabiting the new moons. The governments were already in negotiation about acquiring land on the moons with Umbrella.
Since the Avengers themselves were responsible for the new moons, the land rights went to the Avengers and Umbrella Corp. This was the idea of Tony as he didn't like the idea of loss as they had to go through while cleaning up the old satellites. So real estate on the new moons was what Tony was banking on.
But he also knew that the land on these moons were more what the people could buy so he asked LexCorp to release the news that the aliens from the Nova Empire could come and settle here. The Lex Corp themselves could come here and establish a branch of them. Earth now was ready to accept alien people and technology.
Lex almost jumped into the offer. He had been away from Earth for such a long time and at the end of the day he missed his fellow 'planet-men', fellow humans. Though he now was a Councilman to the Nova Empire, at the end of the day red blood flowed through his veins. So when Tony asked if he wanted to establish a branch here, he accepted the offer immediately.
Many rich people from Nova Empire too got excited at the option of
The governments who were negotiating for the land were dumbfounded to see new players on the real estate business of the moons. They didn't expect that Umbrella would take such a bold step and even got ready to lease and sell land to aliens. Though they had been dealing on many projects on Mars, Umbrella never got into this particular business.
But now the game has changed.
The governments thought that by trying to be tough they would be able to acquire more land on cheap money and use them as resource mining but this was now out of the window. Whatever price the governments were paying the aliens were able to pay more.
They got really angry and even threatened to close the Umbrella Corp working at Earth by saying that Umbrella had done a crime by giving more preference to aliens instead of allowing the humans to live on the moons.
Of course Tony never cared and took them to the court for defamation. This case went on for a few months when everybody was settling down on the new Earth. As expected the cities and towns now had started expanding more. Thanks to the new form of automated fast cars and other modes of super fast transport, the long distance that had creeped up didn't feel too far any more.
Honestly if Umbrella now stopped working the whole world would go to a stand still. They had immense power now, more power than the governments could ever acquire. Most of the analysts predicted this to happen when the new world was being made but they could do nothing about it. The Avengers and Umbrella had too much power.
The power of God was not something that they could just gloss over like it was nothing. Nobody would want to lose their life even if none of the Avengers ever threatened. But the fear of super powerful people remained. It was fortunate that the only thing the Umbrella did was business and they would only retaliate when something went against the business ethics of theirs. This was a strict policy implemented by both Tony and John.

Earth - 10005
As such huge changes were happening on Earth-199999, another Earth was facing a crisis. A crisis of their own making.
The crisis of the sentinels. Sentinels hunting down all the mutants. The mutants' numbers were reducing day after day as the sentinels were relentless in their hunt for mutants. The mutants from the school of Professor X or the X-men and the Brotherhood had come together to join hands and face this crisis.
Yes, this was the Earth where there were only X-men. The world which never had Avengers. The earth which was under the 21st Fox-Century until recently marvel acquired all the rights again.
The normal story that was supposed to happen was that Wolverine would go back in time, or rather the consciousness of Wolverine would go back in time and stop the emergence of Sentinels altogether. This whole time travel worked just like the Flashpoint. Only difference was that there was no running involved.
But due to John's messing with everything in the multiverse, the story here too didn't follow the actual line. Because their Earth had a visitor from another place. And as we know any small changes in a time stream could cause a butterfly effect. And this time too it happened the same.
When the visitor arrived at this world, she was all bloody and bruised. She landed right at the school of Xavier.
The person who arrived was America Chavez.
