Chapter 220: Chapter 217: World Summit – A NEW GENESIS
(A/N: Stone me like the gays in middle easterns countries... Powerstones I mean)
-Omnipotence City-
"WELCOME GOD OF LIFE, DAWN EVERSTAR!" In a heavy accent, Zeus welcomed Dawn and Hela to his pantheon excitedly.
'Oh, it's a buff Russell Crowe.' Dawn thought to himself. Standing tall at 2.5 meters, Zeus's muscular body casted shadow on Dawn as he met with the guy. However, Zeus was still wearing a skirt, and a golden armor on his body.
As a matter of fact, almost all of the Olympus there has a muscular body and a lean build. The phrase 'body of a Greek God'' had materialized inside the body of the gods there.
"We Olympus are proud to be the first who welcomed a new god of life in this universe." Hera, Queen of Olympus said.
'And Nicole Kidman. Seriously, how many celebrities will I see here?' Dawn thought after studying Hera's face for a while. Zeus catched his gaze and was a bit alarmed to see Dawn's interest in Hera.
He might be cheating on her periodically, but she couldn't be the one to cheat on him – that will hurt his ego too much. With Hera's curse of impotency on him, he felt a bit insecure whenever she saw a bit of interest in other people.
A bit further away, Ares – The god of war scoffed as he saw the celebratory greeting for the new god. But he couldn't challenge Dawn to a duel. Not yet. He has to keep Zeus' image, otherwise he could be banished from Olympus by the King of the Gods there.
"Let the banquet…Begin!" Zeus announced the celebratory banquet to receive Dawn as part of the god among gods in the universe. Even in Asgard, the stature of a Life God is important as the life gods usually tend to the world tree. Zeus plans to pull Dawn into being part of the Omnipotence city to increase his own stature and to make life thrive inside the city.
Countless Greek-descent demigods and pseudo-god in white, skimpy clothing and a golden waistband on their hips walked toward Dawn carrying gifts from other gods in the Omnipotence city pantheons and Olympus' god and goddesses.
This wasn't how Olympus or the other pantheon usually greeted a newcomer. However, Dawn's feat of strength had rang far and wide into every corner of the universe, that his name even reached the ears of the Elders of the Universe.
Destroying a concept wasn't something that a normal god could've done. Dawn's strength level was estimated to be around Zeus' and Odin's level, therefore the other gods and goddesses wanted to carry favors with him.
Especially the Greek demi-goddess and semi-goddess. They'd been swaying their hips seductively as they passed by Dawn at his table, flashing their sexy bodies and even whispering their invitation at Dawn directly. Even a few male gods wanted to seduce Dawn, despite his partner standing next to him.
Dawn was helpless in this matter. He also expected Hela to be angry at the other goddess, but instead she was grinning widely.
"My man, being the most coveted god in this city, is a good thing isn't it? Also, you can have fun with them if you want. Even I did it at my time." Hela said nostalgically while pointing at a group of goddesses nearby.
They didn't recognize her in her new body. If they did, they wouldn't giggle and laugh while trying to seduce both Dawn and Hela together for fear of their life.
Dawn sighed. "I really hope things will go well on Earth."
…
On Mars.
Johnny and Ben were waiting for the kids to be done with the summit before they took them out to sightsee on Mars.
"Seriously? What kind of 12 year old is interested in a political conference?" Johnny sighed after waiting for 2 hours now.
"Stop sighing. I want to hear about the new currency." Ben said gruffly. Johnny shrugged his shoulders helplessly as he returned his attention to the summit.
Ryan on screen: The universe currency is called a unit. After studying about the economics of galactic society, I found out that our money...has no value there.
MJ chimed while crossing her arms together, "Paper money always has no value. It was created by powerful men to…"
"Shh MJ. Now it's not the time." Ned interjected.
Ryan: Therefore, we will create a new currency for the Earth. A currency that could be used anywhere inside the united countries, and also in the galactic society. Our friend, the Xandarian and the Skrulls will help us to get settled as we pave our path toward a more advanced world.
Peter exclaimed. "Sweet!"
Ryan showed a picture of the new space elevator currently being built, and the bio-domes on Mars and Jupiter. While he was sharing the images, suddenly the image showed a picture of him doodling on a sleeping Hulk's face.
"What the?" T'Challa unconsciously blurted out. Ryan pretended he was confused by the sudden murmur and turned to the screen.
"Ahh Sorry. Tony messed with my presentation… I think." Ryan said shyly and continued pressing buttons to change the pictures. The next picture showed Captain Marvel with eyes half open, a cocktail in her hand, seemingly drunk at a party. Then, it showed a gif image of Thor dancing weirdly after he won a game against Barton.
It showed many details of the Avenger's life, even the Fantastic Four wasn't spared by the alleged 'Tony'.
"That bastard!" Ayala cursed as she saw the image of her doing a cat dance, purring in the mirror while she was getting her makeup on.
"Tony. YOU!" Pepper said in frustration. "Wait. It wasn't me. Do you really think Ryan won't know if I put the images there?" Tony defended himself.
"If it wasn't you, then who did it?" Ayala said furiously.
"He did." Gwen chimed in. "Ryan did."
The entire group was stunned and flabbergasted after they heard that. The image was now showing Steve mid-sneeze, causing the entire world to laugh at the pictures.
"Ahh... I know why." Reed chimed in. "To make people become less wary of us, by showing our human side."
"I see. That bastard. He could've at least told us about this." Natasha said with gritted teeth after she saw her picture of sleeping in a weird pose by the edge of the bed.
Reed guessed right. Ryan planned to 'accidentally' leaked out the pictures of the superheroes to make people feel closer to them. Vogue corporation does this in their superhero marketing strategy to make the heroes feel more relatable to the citizens.
What is a better time to show the heroes pictures other than when the whole world is watching?
"Sorry about that." Ryan said as the last image was his own image losing in a game of chess against Tony, further pushing the narrative that Tony did the prank.
"That bastard. He really doesn't think about how much trouble he will put me in huh?" Tony muttered as he saw text message threats from the members of the team. Even Gwen vouching that Ryan did it, it won't let him get away with the matter, as he was the one who took most of the pictures.
"Tony. We will have a personal chat after this." Steve said, gearing up for a 5-hour lecture to give to Tony about privacy.
A lot of topics were discussed in the summit. A new way of transportation, oil becoming irrelevant, countless new jobs and new industries, and the unveiling of a new energy reactor.
Tony Stark said in dissatisfaction. "Still can't believe someone managed to surpass me in clean energy."
[Flashback.]
Mars. 2 weeks before the summit.
"So, Doctor. Are you ready for a new era?" Ryan asked. He wore a simple black training suit and a black lens goggles on his forehead.
A man with 4 mechanical, tentacle-like arms turned to Ryan with a kind expression on his face. "I am. Thank you, for pointing out my mistakes, and showing the possibilities of something bigger than I'm planning for."
Dr. Otto Octavius hugged Ryan, catching him off guard.
"It's okay Otto. If this works, your achievement will surpass everyone else in the entire human history." Ryan said. Otto let him go and thought to himself, 'No. the one who will be sculpted in history, wasn't me.'
Ryan had met up with Otto after he was fired by Norman Osborn because his research in clean energy couldn't compare to Tony Stark. His entire research was based on tritium, a metal so rare that there were only 20 pounds of it in the entire world.
"The Deutronium is ready." Ryan said. Otto activated the harmonic resonance machine using his tentacular hands. The AI chips that he made was scrapped by Ryan and replaced with a more stable one.
He picked up a small vial of Deutronium – a blue orb of element that could be found deep inside the Earth, and other planets in the solar system. Once Otto placed the orb in the middle of the harmonic resonance device, it started to float on its own and spin at a high speed.
"Starting the fusion reaction." Otto said, putting on his black goggles. Ryan did the same thing and prepared himself for the worst.
'I have re-calculated Otto's work. I'd even sent quests all over the omni-verse to get a second look at the calculation. Bruce, Tony, Reed, and even Hank had taken a look at the new calculation. Hypothetically, nothing will go wrong in the experiment. But…'
The lasers started to converge at the Deutronium orb. The orb glowed an intense blue light, illuminating the entire laboratory on Mars.
"Wait. The energy is spiking." Ryan said.
"Isn't that what we are aiming for?" Otto said maniacally.
"Don't get lost in power Otto. Didn't you learn your lesson before?" Ryan said, reminding Otto about the time he captured Otto trying to experiment illegally in New York after getting fired by Norman. His miscalculation almost destroys the entire city, but Ryan manages to step in and stop the reactor.
"I know. I won't be lost in it. Never again." Otto said while calming himself down. If Ryan didn't come in before, he might've killed the love of his life, Rosie. The tentacles absorbed the power from the sun, stabilizing it using the harmonic convergence forcefields.
The experiment ran smoothly, until…
"OTTO!" Ryan screamed in excitement as he watched the sight of the miniature blue sun in front of him.
"The energy output is stable. Gravitational pull is being contained. Congratulations Ryan. We did it." Otto said with tears falling out of his eyes. He used to be an arrogant man, but now, he couldn't help but be in awe of the kid beside him.
"A perpetual sun providing energy to the entire world." Ryan said in awe. Otto quickly interjected. "No. Not that line. The other one."
"Really? You want me to say it?"
Otto nodded. Ryan sighed and looked at the miniature sun. He put his palm underneath the floating sun, as close as he could reach it. "The power of the sun. In the palm of my hand."
[Flashback ends]
"With our new Quantum reactor, each one of the fusions could handle the energy usage of the American continent without stopping for 200 years."
"Welcome gentlemen, the Era of clean energy is here." Ryan said with pride in his voice.
On Mars, the kids on a school trip watched as Ryan unveiled the contained miniature blue sun to the entire world.
"HOLY SHIT!" Ned cursed out loud. "Hey. Don't curse." Suddenly, a gentle voice admonished him from behind.
Ned, Peter, MJ, and the rest of the school kids turned to see a man with 4 mechanical arms on his back, walking using the metal tentacle instead of his own two legs.
"You're?" Ned asked.
On the screen, Ryan said, "This technology was created by Dr. Otto Octavius, who is taking a vacation on Mars right now after all of his hard work."
"He lied. He did most of the work." Otto quickly chimed in, however, the only one who could hear him was the kids.
"HOLY SH-" Ned wanted to curse again, but Otto's tentacle clamped his mouth shut.
"Now. Who's here is Peter Parker?" Otto said gruffly.
Ben and Johnny smirked as Otto acted menacingly toward the children there. They were already acquainted with Otto and knew he was just a big cuddly bear.
"…I..I am." Peter replied meekly.
"So. You're the kid Ryan talked so much about."
"He…talk about me?"
"Yes. He told me you're brilliant. But he also told me you're lazy."
Flash took the lead by letting out a laugh, causing all the other kids there to follow suits.
"You kids want to see the reactor?" Otto asked.
All together: YESS!!!! (Ned in muffled voice: Ue-eshhh)
…
"Heads up, he is moving." Rogers said after receiving the notification from the SWORD space station.
"Can we stop him in space?" Banner asked while sipping an iced lemon tea with his cousin at a dessert shop near the summit place.
Jen said in a whisper, "Seriously? We just sat down. My crepe hasn't even come yet. Can't you ask the so-called conqueror to wait a few minutes?"
"You need to get a date, Jen. That way you can have someone else to torture instead of me." Banner retorted. Jen threw a spoonful of her sundae on his face. He sat there motionlessly as the ice cream rolled down his face. "But now I wonder if anyone will actually date you."
Another spoonful was thrown to him.
"The SWORD organization will try. But it's highly unlikely for them to be able to do that. Our enemy is from the third millennium after all." Stark replied during the time Banner was punished by Jen.
"Where is Natasha? Is she still depressed that her boyfriend is taking a trip to outer space without her?" Tony asked.
"I'm here. And you're not going to like what I'll put on your bed tonight." Natasha replied. She was the closest one to Ryan in position among all the Avengers as she was sitting among the guests in the summit hall.
"Please. Think about Pepper." Tony begged facetiously.
Pepper chimed in as she heard the conversation through the call. "I am sleeping in Miami so he sleeps alone tonight. Do clean up the blood later."
Tony: "…"
Ryan: The summit will still be ongoing, but the broadcast will be cut off now as a football game is on. The details of the summit will be shared to the people after we reach the end of the discussion.
Ryan cuts off the broadcast of the summit almost abruptly, causing the people in the world to be confused.
"I really don't expect you to come here so soon. Why don't you let me finish the summit first?" Ryan said to the empty space next to him on stage.
Natasha widened his eyes as she saw the blue-skinned man in advanced armor appearing next to Ryan.
Kang appeared inside the summit conference, causing the people there to panic.
"I want to meet you." Kang said to Ryan with his hands behind his back. He didn't think that the people of this era were a threat to him at all.
"I see, I guess that is the curse of being famous right?" Ryan joked, but he keeps his vigilance against the new enemy.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Kang. I am the one who controls time…and destiny…"
"You've done well despite your limited resources. Now, let me-"
Before he could say anything, Steve Rogers appeared with a steel shield on one hand, flaming gauntlets on the other.
BOOM
Steve punched Kang through the walls of the hall, pushing him outside the conference hall. At the same time, Natasha kicked Kang in the abdomen.
"Sorry. I was arguing with Tony that he slipped me by. Go on. Just leave this matter to us." Steve said and jumped down toward the hole in the wall. Natasha just nodded slightly at Ryan before he joined Steve. A few brainbots immediately appeared with materials to fix the walls, and the whole place was cleaned up in only 30 seconds.
"Now. Where were we?" Ryan said casually as he turned his attention back to the world leaders and the visitors from afar.
Chapter ends.
Author's Note: I listened to UTA's song while I was writing the world summit arc chapters. I love them so much that I will share with you the lyrics of the song and the link to the Youtube video. The song is a perfect fit for the story I'm writing now.
