Capítulo 639: Avengers' Training: Black Widow III

"So, what exactly happened to your home?" Natasha asked. According to the story Edward gave, he was from a parallel Earth and had to leave and inhabit this place because he was facing some trouble.

"With how things are going, aren't you worried about how the Convergence will affect it?"

"My home is isolated from the multiverse, well, this multiverse, so I don't have to worry," Edward replied. "My worry should be after the convergence."

"For whatever this convergence is supposedly preparing us for?"

"Exactly," Edward nodded. "I don't think anyone can escape that trouble." The two became momentarily silent. "So, if things don't go well, could the people of this earth take refuge in your Earth?"

"It's good to think ahead," Edward praised. "And yes, that is my final plan to protect this Earth."

"I'm sensing a but," Natasha continued.

"My ship is lost, so I need to retrieve it before we escape," Edward replied. "More importantly, I don't think escape will be as easy or simple as stated."

"Of course it won't." Ever since she started training with Edward, Natasha realized she had entered a world where nothing is ever simple or direct. Her previous life as a spy was like this, but this was another level — another scale.

"Enough with the chit-chat," Edward stated. "We have a lot of work to do."

"Alright, what's the next step?"

"You have a lot of new things to learn."

"Learning again?"

"Not the studious type, are we?" Edward asked.

"It's not even about being studious or not," Natasha replied. "I can spend days learning about a new identity I'm about to assume — from education, family ties, to personality, and even micro-expressions — and I would be fine about it. However, your kind of study is boring."

"Boring, yes, but necessary." 

While Natasha was learning the knowledge from the Library of Cagliostro and about sealing higher beings, Edward began preparing for the ceremony. Once she was ready, he took her to a large room with a magic circle on the floor.

"I suddenly don't know how to feel about this," Natasha said as she looked at the magic circle.

"How come?"

"Well, I'm about to have a god inside my body. No matter how I put it, it seems unnerving."

"True. Do you want to stop? We can begin with you drawing energy from the shadow dimension?"

"No. I just need a moment to process all of this."

Natasha remained true to her words. After taking a moment of rest, she executed the process flawlessly. Due to her high shadow affinity, Morag did not resist as he thought this was a way to escape his imprisonment and find a vessel that could inherit all his powers.

As Edward looked at her final appearance, he was deep in thought. 'She jumped from Tier 4 to Tier 6. Are there any repercussions?'

'Her body developed a few fatal flaws, and her soul has a few cracks. However, it's not something we cannot fix with time and the right potion,' Morgana replied.

"What about the seal?"

"I've checked a million times, and there is no flaw."

"Good."

Natasha stood in the middle of the magic circle with a bra and underwear. However, she now had a black rune above her navel, similar to Naruto, except her design was different. This new tattoo even further increased her natural charm.

"Such power," Natasha commented. "It is so easy to envelop this planet into darkness. Better yet, this is not even my limit."

Edward frowned.

"Transform," Natasha uttered, using her Transforming Talent and tapping into Morag's strength. Her hair suddenly turned shadow-like, her eyes completely dark, and a tight-revealing black armor surrounded her body. Her strength rose from tier 6 to tier 8.

"Now, this is power," she uttered, her voice containing an echo. "Let's call it Shadow State. Yes, that's a good name. No, this is the best name in the universe." She raised her head to look in the distance.

"My senses. I can see wherever there is a shadow. Are those dimensions? This should be our solar system. So many creatures lived in the shadows, unknown to those who bathe in the light. Soon, I'll be their master."

"We have a problem," Morgana said.

"That's obvious. What happened?"

"All the power corrupted her spirit. We may need to train her Willpower."

Natasha finally turned to look at Edward. "I shall thank you for granting me this power. To show my thanks, I will grant you the position of my number one general. You will lead my army as we plunge this world into the realm of shadows.'

"It seems the corruption is not just due to the newly acquired power but also Morag's influence," Morgana remarked.

"As interesting as your proposal is, I have a lot of work to do, meaning I don't have time to waste with you."

"How dare you—"

Edward snapped his finger, and Natasha left the [Shadow State]. Her body fell to the ground. She did not pass out, but she felt extremely weak. "What just happened?" she asked, her eyes regaining clarity.

"This is what happens when you acquire power too quickly, but your soul and will are too feeble to control it," Edward explained as he handed her a potion. "We need to delay the other procedures. In the meantime, you should train to increase your soul level and raise your willpower."

His plans previously involved Natasha leaving her imprint in the Shadow Dimension to prepare for the fusion. However, she was not in the shape for this part of the training, so Edward postponed it.

"This was horrible," Natasha stated. "I could feel the power taking over me — I could feel my sense of self rapidly dissipating as someone, no, something else, takes over." She shuddered as she thought about that experience. She glanced at him.

"Is this how you feel?"

"No," Edward shook his head. "My power came gradually and over the course of a thousand years. However, I do have time when I find myself acting out of character because of it, but I never lost myself as deeply as you did."

Natasha sighed. This experience was terrible, almost traumatizing. Edward frowned after noticing her situation. "It seems I need to put you through the same Therapeutic Session as Loki." He feared she might become afraid of her power and thus could not utilize its power, or worse, outright refuse to use it.

"Therapy? What good is that?"

"It's magical therapy," Edward explained. "It can allow you to unravel the effect your memories, the environment, and even your subconscious has on your current self."

"Do I need it?"

"We all need therapy," Edward joked. "How do you think I remain normal, well, relatively speaking, after living for so long and with so much power?"

"So, is it going to fix me?" Natasha asked.

'She seems averted to the idea of therapy,' Morgana commented. 'Probably because of her troubled past with the Red Room.'

"Don't think of it as fixing you," Edward stated. "More along the line of helping you better understand yourself, deal with past regrets, and accept the kind of person you are and not what you wish to be."

"I guess that makes sense."

"The program you'll be using is basically state-of-the-art artificial intelligence, so there is no need to worry about your information leaking," Edward added. "Personally, I prefer sessions with real and living Spiritual Arcanists, but we are not home, so our means are limited."

"I understand."

Edward ensured Natasha was fine before handing her the tools to train her soul, willpower, and therapy sessions and escort her out of the magic tower. Then, he took the next avenger, Steve Rogers himself. He was slightly intrigued by what kind of hidden talent the man had despite already having his own conjecture.


Capítulo 640: Avengers' Training: Captain America

"What's on your mind?" Edward asked as he led Steve into the Potential Testing Room.

"Where can I start?" Steve sighed. "I just woke up from the ice, realizing everything I knew and loved was dead or different. I took solace in the fact the world was a better place and was trying to adapt to modern life. Then, Fury contacted.

"At first, I thought this was an opportunity to help people. Everything in modern life was different, but I figured helping people would be the same." Steve turned to look at him. "Then, you came in."

Edward could only apologize with his eyes.

"I'm now thrust into a world with Gods and demons, a world in which the lives of trillions is a regular amount of casualty. So, how do you think I'm doing?"

Edward tapped him on his shoulder. "All I can say to you, Cap, is that destiny doesn't choose people for no reason. I was chosen to be this world's guardian for a reason, and I chose you to help because I know what you're capable of."

"Maybe you're right."

The test started, and Steve had to do a few things. First, he had to throw his shield at a specific target, followed by being asked to give an impromptu speech. Then he was electrocuted and asked to resist, and finally, he had to bear some kind of pressure in his mind. Edward received the results a few minutes later, and his lips twitched. He expected the result to be as abnormal as the others, but one part of it almost made him angry.

"A natural Willpower of 8. No wonder he could break his body's limit and stop Thanos for a short period," Morgana commented. Meanwhile, Edward was still salty. He went to so much to get a Willpower level of 8, but Steve probably got it after a small blessing from the Universe Will. Yes, he refused to believe his Willpower was naturally this high. The highest he's willing to accept Steve had was 5 — the same as Asta from Black Clover.

"What do you think?" Morgana continued. "With his Willpower, a combination of [Aura] and Haki might be the best for him. However, that would not make good use of his other excellent attributes."

According to the test, Steve tested high in two other categories: leadership and the Power of Hope. This was the first time Edward had seen someone with this talent, but he was not unfamiliar with the concept.

"We could try to make him a Paladin," Edward stated. "However, I haven't come into contact with a potent Light Dimension, and Light Magic has always been my worst achievement in all the elements."

If Thunder was Edward's best elemental magic, then Light was his worst. Of course, his worse also meant he was an expert compared to some people. Of course, he did not measure up to the Arcanist back home, who had reached the pinnacle of Light Magic. 

"We could make a Light Dimension for him," Morgana suggested. "We have the technology to use the Power of Hope from the Green Lantern's emotion spectrum, so it should not be a problem to combine it into a light dimension, turning him into the ultimate Paladin."

"Okay, then, that's the…Wait, I have an even better idea that can save us so much work." Edward said.

"I'm all ears."

"He's Captain America, but how about we turn him into Captain Universe," Edward said. "I remember reading in a comic that Superman was the embodiment of hope in the universe. As long as the universe has hope, he cannot die permanently or be erased from reality. We can turn the Cap into the hope of this timeline — its recognized protector."

"You want to ask the Universe Will to recognize Steve as this timeline's official protector and grant him strength, and in return, the Captain will dedicate his life to serve and protect this universe?"

"You follow along nicely," Edward gave a thumbs up.

"If it works, that would save us a lot of time, resources, and effort," Morgana praised. "However, I think we should still build the Light Dimension and an army of Paladin."

"Yes, and it could also be a backup means for Steve in case we one day have to oppose the Universe Will, and he requires another power source."

"Here comes your paranoia again," Morgana rolled her eyes.

"You've been rather quiet," asked Steve. "Is something wrong?"

"No, but here is the plan." 

Cap frowned after hearing his training method.

"What? Don't like it?"

"I have no problem, except with the idea of being a symbol."

Edward suddenly remembered what happened to Cap right after the serum. "The universe and I are not America, so we have no plans to use you as a marketing ploy."

"That's good to hear."

So, Edward took him to see the Eternal Consciousness.

"Sorcerer, what is it this time?"

"This is Steve Rogers," Edward pointed at Cap, still shocked by the being before him. Upon laying eyes on the Eternal Consciousness, Steve saw the birth of the universe and the creation of all lives.

"I'm aware of all the sentient beings born in my universe," replied the Eternal Consciousness, seemingly implying something with its words. However, Edward ignored him.

"Here's why I brought him here…."

"A guardian? A noteworthy suggestion," the Eternal Consciousness commented. "But is this human worthy to represent the universe? Can he bear the duty that is going to be imposed on him? I will test him first and, based on the result, decide on the next course of action."

"Do as you please," Edward replied, preparing to wait until the test finished. However, that rude Universe Will told him to leave, so he returned to his magic tower to work on the Paladin Project. He thought he would have long, but when he was a quarter done, Steve appeared outside the tower, floating in the air with his shield now drawn with this galaxy like image.

"Cosmic Energy?" Edward commented. "No, this is something else." Steve was using Cosmic Energy, but it was more of a byproduct of a power he had not completely mastered.

"It's like he's fused with the universe and drawing strength directly from it. This reminded me of the Power Cosmic from the comics,' Edward talked to Morgana.

'Wai, but why is his strength only Tier 6?' the little elf asked, making Edward frown.

"Did something happen?" he asked Steve.

"I wasn't completely successful," Steve replied.

"What do you mean?"

"The Eternal Consciousness said I have two major flaws that prevent me from being a perfect guardian."

"Flaw? Are you talking about Peggy and Bucky?"

Steve nodded, and Edward grunted softly. Bucky disappeared with Hydra, so he could do nothing about that.

"I can't do anything about Bucky, but I may be able to help with Peggy."

"How?" Steve asked directly.

"I can revert her to her youth, but whether she's willing to give your relationship another try is beyond me."

"I'll go ask her." Steve turned into a bright light as he flew into the distance. He could grant Peggy eternal youth or even eternal life with his newfound power. However, it went against his duty as a guardian to use his power in such a selfish manner. Luckily, he had Edward for this kind of thing.

Steve then returned ten minutes later.
