3.89% Marvel: Breezing Through History as an Eternal / Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Mesopotamia, 5000 BCE (2)

Bab 4: Chapter 4: Mesopotamia, 5000 BCE (2)

I soon arrived at Thena's location, and the sight was definitely brutal. I saw my construct fighting alongside her, and she is literally covered in deviant blood.

She also had a wide smile on her face.

I don't know if I should like this or not to be honest. But I quickly got rid of the thought as I commanded my construct to support her. As me and my construct was getting nearer, I jumped from the construct and landed near the location of the dead Deviants. I quickly absorbed their cosmic energy and memories, and conjured them to help us fight the rest of it.

As I conjured them, I was hit by a sudden brute force from behind me, it was a deviant headbutting me, and I was thrown to the air, groaning in pain.

"Fucking hell that hurts." I commented, even if I'm immortal, it still hurts… my eyes glowed, and I quickly commanded one of the dog constructs to attack the deviant who hurt me. The construct quickly dashed to the deviant, and attacked its neck, ripping it apart.

I quickly absorbed the dead deviant, and commanded the rest of my constructs to help Thena, as I saw that she was getting occupied.

"Took you long enough." She commented while stabbing her spear through a deviant's head, killing it instantly.

"I'm new to this okay? I'm not like you." I refuted, which made her snort.

"I thought you're specifically chosen for this mission?"

"That doesn't mean I'm experienced."

Thena then continued to slaughter the rest of the deviants in the vicinity, while I just watched my construct, and they fought for me… yes, I realize that I look like a burden right now.

As the last deviant is killed, Thena is standing on a corpse of the deviant, and she spoke to me. "Good job for your first fight."

"Technically it isn't my first." I pointed out as I helped her go down the corpse, offering my hand to her. "And I didn't do anything, my construct did all the work."

She smiled as she took my hand and jumped down the corpse. "Still, good work."

"Well, thank you." I appreciate the compliment. "You should go back to the others."

"What about Kingo?" She asked me.

"I'll help him, you can't fly anyway, better to clean up." I said as I pointed at the deviant blood on her body.

"I'm used to blood." She insisted.

"A lot of people aren't." I refuted.

She sighed and relented. "Very well, I will go back."

"Thank you for understanding." I smiled at her, to which she smiled back.

"It is a good first mission with you." She pointed out. "I look forward to the next one."

"I look forward to the next one too." I repeated. Thena then jumped to one of my constructs, and quickly bolted off to the human encampment, returning early.

I quickly absorb the remaining dead deviants, and summon one of the flying deviants. I hopped on it, and flew to where Kingo is.

A couple of hours later, the sky is now getting darker and darker, and I've just arrived at where Kingo is.

It was a cool sight to be honest.

I saw Kingo riding one of my flying constructs and shooting his cosmic energy ball from the sky. My construct is dodging the attacks of other flying deviants, while Kingo is shooting them down.

"Need any help?" I asked as I flew by him.

"Of course, I need help! These things are really annoying." He shouted in annoyance to me, chill out man.

"Alright, no need to shout." I commanded my other flying constructs to attack the deviants. Mine dove down too, and my construct that I am riding slammed itself on one of the deviants, and they are currently fighting midair.

As they fight, I jumped from the construct, and landed on one of the flying deviants that is attacking Kingo.

I finally got some action.

Using my Eternals strength, I pulled the deviant's neck to the back, and disoriented it. I guided the flying deviant to the other flying deviant, making them hit each other and fell to the ground.

I jumped from the falling deviant, and landed on one of my constructs.

"That was cool man!" Kingo complimented me. "I want to do that too now!"

"Focus on the bloody deviant Kingo!" I shouted. "That was just lucky."

"Fine, but I will try it later." He refuted, and he continued to shoot down all the flying deviants that were in our area.

A couple of minutes later, all the deviants around us are eradicated as they are overwhelmed by my ever-growing legion of constructs. Of course, I added the dead deviants to my collection too.

That was an amazing fight though, I got to jump around in the sky, the adrenaline is addicting.

But all things need to come to an end.

"You okay man?" Kingo asked me.

"I'm good." I answered as I lay down on the back of my construct. "That was amazing."

"Tell me about it." He said excitedly as he jumped to my construct midair. "This counts as a success, right?"

"I'd say it's a pretty good success for a first mission." I nodded as I looked at the corpses of the deviants below us. "Let's go back."

Kingo nodded, and both of us quickly flew to the direction of the Domo, intending to go back to the others.

About an hour of flying, we finally arrived, and we saw that Phastos had already given the humans some new tech to improve their lives.

The humans became alert as me and Kingo landed in the middle of settlement, which freaked the humans out.

"Can you not scare them?" Sersi suddenly appeared near us, scolding me.

I shrugged. "I don't like scaring them either, but humans need a good dose of fear of us, otherwise they will scheme against you."

"They wouldn't do that, you're imagining things." Sersi shook her head as me and Kingo got off the construct.

"He has a point, you know Sersi?" Kingo added. "It's what makes them human in the first place, overtime, they will envy us, and possibly try to kill us."

"Our mission is to protect humans, not make them fear us." Sersi insisted.

"Fear is a way to control humans indirectly." I added. "So they don't do stupid things."

"They will also do stupid things if they fear us." Sersi refuted. "If they are scared of us, they will see us as a threat, thus making us a target."

"True…" I mumbled. "Anyway, save the ideology talk for later, where's Ajak?"

"In the Domo." Sersi informed me. "Are you really done killing the deviants around us? Thena came back saying so… but that is really quick."

"It's true…" Kingo said. "Or at least we thought we killed the deviants around us, we probably have to check it again later."

I sighed. "That was probably supposed to be like 1 yearlong work…"

"Your powers are useful; we might even go back to Olympia faster than we thought." Kingo shrugged. Ooph, it must've hurt when they knew that Olympia didn't exist…

"Right, see you guys later, I need to clean myself, I smell like Olympia's sewer system..." He spoke.

I just hummed, and Kingo walked away from me and Sersi.

"What are you doing now?" I asked Sersi.

"Nothing really…" she answered.

"Want to accompany me to Ajak?" I asked, I wanted to talk to her anyway.

"Um… Sure, why not…"

The two of us then walked through the rows of human tents that looked new.

"These tents look new, did you give it to them?" I asked Sersi.

"It was Phastos." She answered. "I just help set it up."

"You just gave it to them?"

"Of course not, Phastos taught them how to make it so it will hold up for a long time. And they made it in an instant."

"That's great." I spoke. Then, a couple of children walked past us, one even crashed into me, making him fall down to the ground.

I looked at Sersi, who just shrugged. I sighed, and kneel down in front of the boy. I helped the boy up, and smiled at him, although that's probably the wrong move as I just realized that my face is quite threatening.

The boy jolted up and looked afraid. He ran away from us instantly.

Seeing this, Sersi giggled beside me. "Probably shouldn't have smiled…"

"Well, if I don't smile, I look even more threatening." I grumbled.

"True…" She muttered, and finally sighed. "They're afraid of you."

"Really? Haven't noticed." I spoke sarcastically, it's obvious that they're afraid of me.

"It's your own fault." She pointed out. "If you just didn't summon your constructs in the middle of the settlements, they'll probably still like you."

"They're afraid of me because of my powers, Sersi." I refuted. "Imagine seeing a person absorbing a dead body until it rots. If I was human with no powers, I'd be scared too."

"Still, you are feeding the fear." She said,

"It's on purpose at this point." I answered, surprising Sersi as we walked again. "I tend to be the villain in this group, so the humans won't take advantage of your kindness."

"How come you know it'll happen?" She questioned me.

I sighed. "Let's just say I have experience with it." I've seen humans back in my previous world, I was human myself, so I know that at least one of them will take advantage.

"I thought this was your first mission?" She questioned me again, confused.

"It is." I answered. "But being 'human' is a universal thing, in a way, they are like us, they just want to survive, and that includes getting more power to solidify their position as an apex predator, so no one will threaten them. And what happens when a sudden apex predator pops up?"

"With humans being sentient… they will probably plan to get rid of them…" She muttered. "But if we treat them with kindness, they will never do that, they will never see us as apex predators."

"There will always be someone who has ambition, Sersi." I spoke, I sound like an old man now. "Remember that."

Sersi went silent after that, I chuckled and continued. "Well, at least we have Druig if they ever cross that line."

Sersi instantly frowned. "Then why are you making them fear us in the first place?"

"Prevention is better than cure Sersi." I stated as we arrived at the Domo. "You want to come in? or are you going to the settlement again?"

"I'll come in." she shrugged. "The work's finished for the day anyway."

I hummed, and both of us entered the Domo. We appeared in a hallway in the Domo, and we continued to walk towards Ajak's location.

"Have you learned their language yet?" I asked Sersi once again.

"I haven't." she answered. "Phastos is working on a translator first, then we can learn their language."

"Phastos is a handyman indeed." I murmured. After that, we arrived at the hall where Ajak is in. When we entered the hall, I also saw Thena, Ikaris, Sprite, and Phastos inside, and I greeted the Prime Eternal. Sersi however, talking to Ikaris, I can see the flowers blooming within the two.

"I've finished it." I said to Ajak. "But just in case I'll patrol again tomorrow."

"Good job." She nodded and smiled.

"That's probably one year's worth of work, so we can focus on developing the settlement right here for a while." I informed.

"I'm in the process of making a portable tracker for the deviants." Phastos added. "So you don't have to check again next time."

"Well, thank you." I said. "Say, can you make a weapon for me?"

"You already have your powers Pluto… What more do you want?" I heard Sprite grumble.

"It's boring if I just look at my constructs fighting, I want to get in the action." I flatly replied. "Jealous, Sprite?" I teased her, that's it, I will tease her with this for the next 7000 years, along with her small body of course.

The young girl frowned, she raised her hand, and cast an illusion on me, and I saw the group laughed at me, especially Thena.

"What did you do to me?" I raised my eyebrows to the grinning Sprite. She didn't answer it, but Thena's the one who answered it.

"You have dog ears and a tail." Thena giggled, answering me.

"Oh, Ha Ha Sprite, cancel your Illusion." I rolled my eyes.

"You have to say please first." She added, still Grinning.

"Please." I grumbled, and the girl cancel the illusion, I'm going to torture her for the next 7000 years. "Anyway, can you Phastos?"

"I don't know man; I have to test how well your cosmic energy manipulation is first." He answered.

"In case you didn't notice, I can make a semi-sentient construct, I'd say that's good enough." I pointed out to Phastos.

"Still, I need to see what weapon would suit you the most." He answered. "But I'm a bit preoccupied right now, so see me around… 10 years."

"Are you serious?" I raised my eyebrow, not believing his words.

"I am." He said in an innocent look.

"Are you sure that you're not delaying it because you're a pacifist and afraid of me hurting the humans?"

"I am sure." He said with an innocent look, again.

I sighed. "Fine, whatever."

No wonder Druig and the others didn't have weapons on their own…


Bab 5: Chapter 5: Mesopotamia, 4999 BCE

It has been a year since we landed on Mesopotamia, and since then, it has been boring to say the least.

On most days, I just stay at a beach, training myself to the brim. What training do you ask? In preparation for my weapon of course. After a couple of days, Phastos finally relented on checking me up, and from the test, he concluded that I am suited to use a spear like weapon, so I chose the bident. I also asked him to give the bident some sort of long range attack, he just hummed and walked away. Yes, it's quite annoying to deal with Phastos, but alas, I've got no choice.

Anyway, since then, I started to train on how to use the bident, and yesterday, I just asked Thena to train me on using the bident proficiently, I know the muscle memories of fighting using bare hands, but not a bident.

Thena agrees, and right now, I'm starting to regret it to be honest.

As I have a monologue in my head, Thena kicked me in the stomach so hard that I was thrown a couple of meters away from where I was standing.

"Is this really your strength?" Thena questioned me with that damn smirk while she placed her hands at her hips. "Your face doesn't match your fighting power."

"We have different strengths…" I grumbled as I stood up weakly. "I'm not like you, or Gil, or Ikaris… I'm supposed to stand at the back while my constructs fight for me."

"Aww." She shook her head in amusement. "And why are you training to use a bident now?"

"Just wanted to be in the action is all…" I murmured. "And just in case…"

"Well, then pull yourself together and continue to train." Thena suddenly grabbed a wooden bident laying beside her, and threw it to me. The bident pierced the ground in front of me, fucking hell woman, can you at least be gentle to me…

"You look pathetic right now, you know?" Gilgamesh, who had been watching us the entire time, suddenly exclaimed as he laughed. "Usually you look menacing with your creepy smile and your constructs surrounding you, but now you look really pathetic."

"In times like these I hope that Phastos made me a recording device, this is just golden." Sprite, who is also watching, also commented with a laugh.

"Shut up, I'm trying to survive here." I rolled my eyes as I picked up the bident.

"I'm not going to kill you Pluto…" Thena spoke. "I'm just going to hurt you, really, really, badly… so you can learn quickly of course."

I gulped, while Gilgamesh and Sprite just laughed more loudly, I truly regret asking Thena about training me…

The next day, my body hurts like hell. Thena beat me up all day yesterday, which is not fun. It didn't help that Gilgamesh and Sprite were laughing at me the entire time.

I just got healed by Ajak, which is a nice feeling, and now I'm walking through the hallway of Domo, and towards Phastos's lab.

"Yo Phastos, is my weapon done yet?" I asked excitedly.

Phastos turned around and groaned when he saw me. "Can you not bother me everyday?"

"I will continue to bother you until you give me my weapon."

"If you continue like this then I won't make you the weapon." Phastos threatened back, which shut me up.

I sighed. "Fine." I grumbled. "How's it going with the tech for Humans by the way?"

"Slow as always." He muttered. "And Ajak still forbids me to quicken it."

"Your tech is too sudden in my opinion… I mean… gunpowder really? It's only been a year since we've arrived, and you want to give them gunpowder? You want to make them kill each other or something?"

"It can help them to hunt." He insisted.

"Sure, keep lying to yourself Phastos." I said as I sat down near a window of the Domo. "You know sooner or later they will kill each other for power and territory."

Phastos went silent after that.

"Tell me Phastos, is it good to give these guys technology?" I questioned. "I mean, sure, it's inevitable that they will make gunpowder, but do we really have to quicken it?"

"The quicker we are to develop humanity, the quicker we will go home." He lazily said.

I hummed. "Have you noticed something wrong with our mission?" I questioned Phastos.

"What do you mean? It's a simple mission, we protect humans and help them develop, and eradicate the deviants in the planet, that's it."

"But why are we helping them develop? Does Arishem really care about Humans in the first place? I mean, they will just be another civilization in the galaxy once we leave. I feel like Arishem is hiding something on why we need to protect these humans and help them develop…"

Phastos frowned at my words. "You don't trust Arishem's plans?"

"I'm just saying man." I shrugged, and Phastos kept looking at me with a frown. "Well, keep doing the good work, and don't forget my weapon." I said as I left the room, I hope Phastos gets my message, he's the smartest out of all of us, so I hope he'll figure it out soon enough.

I then quickly got out of the Domo, and entered the settlement, the place have been growing steadily in the past year, a lot more people joined in the place, mud buildings are starting to be built, agriculture is starting to grow in the area, it was really cool to see a settlement developing this nicely.

As soon as I entered the place, the humans wouldn't dare to look at me, Sersi told me that they fear me and respect me at the same time, which is nice I guess.

In these years, I'm starting to lose my sense of humanity. I'm starting to accept that I'm an eternal, not a human, and these humans are smaller and weaker than me, which is odd… considering I was once a human.

I quickly walked to the edge of the settlement, and towards a cliff, where I saw a lone Ikaris sitting idly at the edge of it.

"Bored?" I asked the man while also sitting beside him.

Ikaris noticed me and sighed. "A bit."

"Where's Sersi?" I questioned, making him frown.

"I don't know, why d'you ask?" he questioned back.

I shrugged. "I don't know, you two seemed close."

"You think we're close?"

"You like her right?" I asked. "As in romantically?"

He avoided my gaze, oh, that's a strange behavior from Ikaris. "It will distract the mission if I pursue it."

Typical Ikaris. "You should get a life too you know, the mission is long term, you can enjoy life a bit…"

"But she likes to gather around the humans." He stated. "And I'm not good with that kind of thing… I don't even know their language."

"Then learn." I sighed. "They don't even like me, and I learned their language…"

Ikaris went quiet after that.

"Look, the mission isn't everything Ikaris, you need to enjoy yourself more often, you're the fighter, so you don't have much to do in times like these, so have a life." I patted his shoulder and walked away from him.

I bond with two eternals today? Damn, I feel like I'm in Persona right now, with confidants/social links and shit.

Anyway, once I've talked to Ikaris, I summoned my flying deviant construct, and flew away from the place, and towards my usual place.

What usual place do you ask? Well, this past year, I discovered a cave near the settlement, and I often went there to be alone and experiment.

What experiment do you ask? Well, I've been experimenting with my powers.

As I landed near the cave, I entered the cave. I've placed some decorations here and there, nothing fancy though, just a hide to lay down, and a log to sit down.

Then, I quickly summoned three of my constructs, three of them are the flying deviants.

"Now, creature number 3." I mumbled to myself as my eyes glowed while I summoned the circle on my hand.

I did some hand waving, and the three summoned constructs suddenly turned into golden particles again.

Not long, the particles mixed, and it made a spiral in front of me.

And after a while, it became a new creature. A big ass three headed winged deviant, its necks are really long, it looked like Ghidorah from the Godzilla movies…

"Right, you know what, why not, I will call you Ghidorah from now on." I said, patting one of the three heads.

It's cool right? I can combine my constructs. Only three constructs per session though, don't know why.

Why am I doing this? Well, the experiences of the constructs also combined into one, so it'll be more deadly, and their cosmic energy is more powerful as well, triple the regular amount to be exact.

It's quite a discovery on my part.

"Now I have three of these creatures…" I muttered to myself as I summoned the other two 'hybrid' constructs.

The first Hybrid I made is a three headed dog, it's quite huge, I call it Cerberus for obvious reasons. Maybe I should change it to Fluffy instead? I don't know, maybe later.

The second hybrid is a three headed lizard, again, it's big, long necks, no wings though, but it works, I called it Hydra.

And the last one is of course Ghidorah.

Hmm… I need more construct variation to experiment…

Can normal animals produce powerful constructs? Well, I have a lot of time, for now I'll just stick with the deviants.

Now, I summoned 3 spider-like deviants, I turned them into pure cosmic particles, and combined it, and after a while, it finally formed.

It was bloody terrifying.

It's a humongous 12-legged spider… thank One-Above-All I don't have Arachnophobia… otherwise I'd probably pass out seeing this, even if it's just a construct, it's scary…

"Right…" I hesitantly pet it, god it feels weird... "I'll name you… Arachne? Yeah, let's do that…"

Suddenly, I heard a sonic boom right at the entrance of the cave, and my ears are ringing right now from the sound.

"Seriously!?" I covered my ears to at least ease the ringing, but it doesn't work. I turned around, and saw Makkari, leaning against a rock, smirking at me.

"Why are you here?" I asked Makkari using sign language, no wonder she's created deaf, to prevent her from hurting herself while doing one of the sonic booms. "And why the grand entrance?!"

"Hello to you too." Said Makkari using sign language. "This is your cave huh…"

"You didn't answer my question Makkari…"

"I'm just exploring." She shrugged. "What's up with the giant spider behind you?"

"Experimenting with my powers, that's all." I answered with sign language as I walked closer to her. I also absorbed the spider back. "Do you need anything from me?"

"Not really, just bored." She answered.

"Can't say I don't know the feeling…" I said. "Where's Druig?"

She raised her eyebrow in amusement. "Why are you asking me that?"

"I mean… no reason." I chuckled. "You can go back now, in case you haven't noticed, this is my private space."

She was thoughtful, and smirked. "I think not." She said in sign language. "I'm bored, I'll watch you experiment."

I groaned. "Can you bother somebody else?"

"Your experiment looks interesting." She stated. "I wanted to see it."

"Fine." I sighed. "Just don't disturb my work."

Then, I continued my experiment a bit until sundown, completely ignoring the woman who was sitting on a rock behind me, staring at my constructs curiously.

I didn't have much results after that, the combinations looked ugly except the four that I discovered, much to my disappointment.

As the sun went down, I absorbed the failed experiments back, and went back with Makkari.

"I am not letting you run near me again." I said in protest. "My ears will bleed if this continues."

"Well, I can't hear, so…" She shrugged.

"No offense or anything…" I murmured, is that offensive? I don't know… "We'll take my construct."

"Let's ride that three headed lizard thing." She excitedly said to me. "That thing looks cool."

"To you? Yes. To the humans, they'll shit themselves if they see it."

"Since when did it stop you?" She raised her eyebrows in amusement.

"Never." I grinned and summoned Ghidorah in front of us, the three headed constructs sits tall in front of us, the three heads are looking at me, waiting for a command.

"After you, my lady." I smirked, letting Makkari climb up the big construct first.

Makkari played along and bowed in amusement, and she climbed up the back of Ghidorah, and after that, I also climbed.

Ghidorah then took off with a strong gust of wind because of its wings, shaking the area.

"This construct is a bit too much for battle don't you think?" She asked using sign language in curiosity as she inspects the lines and runes of the body of Ghidorah.

"Nothing is too much in my eyes Makkari." I stated. "Maybe we'll encounter a big deviant one day, and we'll use these kinds of constructs to defeat it."

"Fair enough." She dismissively said.

About an hour later, we finally saw the settlement from the back of Ghidorah, and I saw that the humans were terrified when they saw my constructs. I'm starting to like seeing them afraid to be honest…

I intentionally landed in the middle of settlement, scaring many humans that lived there, which made me chuckle a bit.

"Now you're intentionally scaring them." Makkari stated, a smile could be seen on her face.

"Hey, it's not my fault they're afraid of everything." I shrugged as I helped her go down Ghidorah's back.

"Well, there she is…" Someone suddenly said, I looked around and saw that it is Druig, he used his mind control to calm the humans down, and making them get out of the way.

Makkari also saw him, and smiled widely. "Hello."

"Hello to you too." He said, then, he turned to me. "You know Sersi's going to complain to Ajak again right?"

I shrugged. "It's worth it."

"You are a sadist." He shook his head in amusement. "Well, I'm going to take this pleasant lady over here on a walk, see you around." He said as he walked to Makkari's side.

Makkari smiled at this and said goodbye to me as he dragged her from me and my construct.

"This has been a not-so-boring day." I mused as I absorbed Ghidorah. "I hope we leave this settlement soon."

I walked to the Domo, planning on ending the day.
