Title - Troubles in Paradise
...
The Multiverse was an ever-expanding tapestry of interconnected realities, each one a unique iteration of existence, birthed from the cosmic loom of creation itself.
Within its boundless expanse, countless universes flourished, each with its own history, heroes, and horrors. From the gleaming spires of utopian civilizations to the darkest depths of cosmic oblivion, every corner of the Multiverse held wonders and dangers beyond mortal comprehension.
The Multiverse is depicted as a vast and complex network of interconnected realities, each with its own laws of physics, history, and inhabitants. These alternate dimensions can vary widely in terms of their characteristics and inhabitants, ranging from idyllic paradises to nightmarish hells.
The Multiverse is a fundamental aspect of the cosmos, reflecting the infinite possibilities and potentialities of existence. It is home to an array of parallel dimensions, alternate timelines, and divergent realities, where familiar characters take on new roles and unfamiliar faces emerge as heroes or villains.
At the heart of the Multiverse lies the concept of the "Omniverse," the totality of all possible realities, encompassing every conceivable universe and beyond. From the smallest subatomic particles to the grandest cosmic entities, the Omniverse encompasses the full spectrum of existence, transcending time, space, and reality itself.
The Multiverse offers limitless opportunities for adventure, exploration, and discovery. It is a realm of infinite wonder and infinite danger, where heroes and villains alike navigate the turbulent currents of cosmic destiny in search of their place in the grand design of existence.
Additionally, the Multiverse is home to various pocket dimensions and realms, each governed by its own unique rules and overseen by powerful beings.
One such being was the Living Tribunal. A being who acts as the Judge, Jury and Executioner of all those found guilty of having the potential to bring harm to the Multiverse on a grand scale.
Others included Eternity, Infinity, Oblivion, Death and The Phoenix.
Other than The Living Tribunal, all others had a form of Echo existing independently in each and every conceivable Universe, yet they remain Connected to the Main Body.
"Earth Universe TRN-001" Leucadius muttered to himself after Cursing at The One Above All. It has to be known that He remained the First and Last Mortal existence to do such as remain Existing.
Temporary Reality 001. That was the Universe TOAA had decided to put him in. Apparently, it was a Universe created to accommodate him till he decided he had had enough.
It has to be known that despite its Temporary Status, it was still a Universe that exists and moves according to its Designed Fate. "I'm short, It remains the Marvel Universe but with some twists."
Apparently, TOAA had foreseen that his existence would become a threat if he was placed in Certain Universes, an Example being Earth Universe-616.
That was a Universe where Yahweh was the Supreme Existence. Apparently, Yahweh did create that Universe according to the Biblical Record.
He also couldn't be placed in a Universe like Earth Universe 199999, which he knew to be the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the reason was obvious.
That Universe was too weak to even accommodate his weakest form. Had he been placed there, considering his Energy Levels as well as his Energy Manipulation Ability, not even the Infinity Stones of that Universe would be a threat.
Correspondingly, that Universe, unlike other Marvel Universes, wasn't visited by the Wounded Celestial Billions of Years ago. It was the fluids from that Wounded and dying Celestial that gave humanity their latent potential which would later manifest in what will come to be called X-gene.
All this culminated in one annoying fact. Leucadius had to deal with the possibility of both the X-Men and Avengers timeline in the future.
He wasn't worried about it though. As a Divine Being, he would be later forbidden from interfering with Human development during the Third Host. TOAA's information contained that fact.
Unfortunately for him, no matter how strong he gets, he would still be no match for a celestial. It was unnerving but not that irritating. There was an order to things and a price to pay for every power acquired.
The Celestials were just moving bodies of Primordial Cosmic Energy. The armor is what gives them form, and without the armor, they were basically Primordial Energy.
Leucadius wouldn't want to give up his physical form just to acquire some power; he would still be giving up when he reunited with his main body. Standing on the very top of the Universe was never his goal in coming here.
He was adventurous in heart, and that was his main drive. However, considering his status, mindlessly and aimlessly scouring the Universe would not bring him the satisfaction he craved.
So playing God was the only other option. But from the Message he just received from TOAA, he couldn't be too impertinent. Yahweh's existence was allowed but his wasn't.
The Living Tribunal would judge him should he be found lacking or wanting depending on his actions.
The Creation of a new Abstract Energy was already a threat, but due to his intervention, he wasn't summoned to the Court consisting of Eternity, Infinity, Death, Oblivion, Master Order, Lord Chaos, The In-Betweener, Mistress Love, Sire Hate, Eon, later Epoch, Galactus, The Celestials(A Representative), The Watchers(A Representative), The Stranger, Kronos, The Hawk God, Possibly Mephisto.
TOAA let him know that at the moment, His Holy Energy was under some form of scrutiny. It is also being put under consideration on whether it should exist in his Temporary Reality alone or should be allowed to Echo through the multiverse.
"It seems Aspect's words weren't without reasons." Leucadius said after a short period calming himself down. He didn't even know why he got angry in the first place, but something in him felt that a being such as himself being put under any jury of sort was a clear disregard of his status.
"I can already imagine beings like Mephisto and Sire Hate standing against this." Leucadius said with a smirk, however he was also sure that beings like Mistress Love would vehemently stand for it.
Below the Living Tribunal, the four major Abstracts: Eternity, Infinity, Death and Oblivion could actually care less. That much he was sure of so he wasn't bothered about them.
"Whatever." Leucadius said with a sigh. "Perhaps it's time to create my own candidate in the Underworld." Leucadius said and looked at the Data on his Seven Archangels - Samael's to be more precise.
Unfortunately, he hadn't created them before creating Adam and Eve
(A/N: I use creating since they were literally engineered in his Lab.)
So Lucifer's creation story would have to be recreated. And to do that..."I guess we'll spend a lot of time here after all." Leucadius said as a holographic monitor and keyboard appeared in front of him.
First off, he had to re-edit the Archangels settings while also upgrading their homunculi. At the very least, they need to be overwhelmingly strong as long as certain requirements are met.
The Angels were spiritual beings who already had access to his infinite reserve of spiritual energy which is then converted to Holy Energy as soon as they take on the Homunculus physical body.
"That is to say that..." Leucadius muttered to himself before sending a summons to all the Inhabitants of heaven. Not even a second passed and they were all in his presence.
"You called, Father." Micheal took charge as he appeared with his fellow Archangels.
"Hmm. I'm planning on creating a new species of people in our home." Leucadius said and took a pause as he observed the confused expression on the entire Host of Angels.
"Forgive me, Father, but is there a need? Aren't we enough as your children?" Samael asked which caused Leucadius to smile, not that any of them could see it due to the interference of the Seraphs' light.
"You all are my beloved Children, that much is certain, but this new race would be similar to the Humans." Leucadius said. He was glad he hadn't exposed them to Earth yet as the only time they were deployed was during their battle in space.
"Think of them as your little siblings who will need your protection along the line. While you lot are here, they'll remain in the first Heaven, Earth." Leucadius said and stretched out his hand causing the scene to change as they all appeared on Earth in his Mind-scape.
This was his realm so he was Truly God. All things were within his control.
And so, Leucadius began swinging his hands around as a figure of a man slowly formed. He was the perfect replica of Adam back on Earth, brimming with vitality thay could rival that of the normal angels...and so, God gave Adam breath.
...
The entire biblical story went as it was supposed to go with little interventions from Leucadius. He was their creator so he was able to add or remove certain directives from their Core Matrix.
It was an underhanded move but necessary. He needed someone that would extend his Presence to the Underworld, and before long, The Great Rebellion began.
(A/N: I'm going to name the Seven Archangels here. Micheal, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Azazel, Zadkiel and Azrael were the ones I used earlier but I'm going to be doing a small reform. The Seven will now include: Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Samael, Ariel, and Zadkiel.)
Samael was able to lure a few angels to his side, Ariel included much to Leucadius' sadness. Of the Archangels only she and Gabriel were Girls and they were quite cute. Seeing her stand against him brought him great sadness.
It has to be known that other than Samael, Leucadius didn't alter any of the other angels' Matrix. He just reduced their level of loyalty so as to give them a True sense of free will.
And so, with that, a new reform was done amidst the ranks of Angels. Two new angels were made Archangels, namely Azazel and Azrael to fill the Void created by Samael and Ariel.
"Perhaps a new design should be given to the Archangels to differentiate them?" Leucadius had thought but quickly dispelled that idea. He also discovered that with the release he placed on them, those who decided to cut themselves off from him began to actually grow stronger.
Perhaps it was a bug in their creation but it wasn't an unwelcome one. To Leucadius, it felt it would be too much of an act of bullying should Samael fight against Michael with weak angels.
He even went as far as to give them boosts seeing how hard they tried to grow stronger. It was his energy after all. He could do whatever he wanted with it, and it wasn't like they could harm him in his own Mind-scape.
And so, seeing as the war was about to begin, Leucadius watched with keen attention.
...
You know that feeling...in a court of law, where despite all the evidence provided to prosecute someone, that person goes scot free? That was what happened during the war.
Despite converting a whooping 1/3 of The Heavenly Hosts and attacking the other 2/3, Samael still lost. It wasn't that he and his army were weak. No, Leucadius even gave Samael's six generals power to match that of his Archangels.
They were basically in a stalemate. The war was basically going to go on forever if nothing was done. And so, Leucadius did what every Godfather in any political setting would do.
He showed favor to Michael and his Army, by basically giving them a buff which helped them cast Samael out of Heaven and down to Earth, and by Earth, he meant the Heavenly Earth.
Samael still needed to 'Deceive' Eve... which he did, and with the banishment of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, Leucadius also threw Samael and his Army which he had put in statis out.
Now he didn't know where the dimension of Hell existed in the Marvel Universe not to mention this Marvel Universe, but he was sure they'll make it, afterall, they were created by him.
Samael, now named Lucifer and his six other generals were strong enough to go against any God and with their continuous growth, they could someday go up against King of Gods.
...
"This is Good." Leucadius said with a relieved smile. Some might ask why he went through all this trouble just to exhaust his Mental Energy, and the answer was simple. "It is all for the Later Good."
"Since there was Lucifer and his now Demons, The concept of Evil will exist, further cementing the concept of Good, which is me." Leucadius said and relaxed in his Throne.
However not long after he did that, a torrent of information poured into his brain causing him to spasm and lose consciousness. This...he found weird since he wasn't actually conscious in the first place.
All this was going on in his Head. So his going unconscious within his own Mind was troubling.
"You are here.... Welcome to the Court of the Living Tribunal."
'Motherfucker!'
