章節 29: Hello Brother
A/N: Pat-reon: HelloDarkness07.
DISCLAIMER: I don't mean to insult any religion, and claim any other religion as superior. There might come a few chapters where the MC would interact with other Gods, and I just want to say, that whatever I write, is for the sake of writing, and I really hope it's not perceived as an insult.
Read on!

Asgard:
Frigga enters the Throne room of Asgard, to find Odin seated on his Throne, with Thor and Baldur right beside him. Although, she did notice that Baldur was just a bit behind, as if Hiding himself in Thor's shadow.
Frowning at that, she turns to Odin, and says, "Jord claimed him as her born son. Along with informing us that he is not a threat to Asgard, or it's people, unless they harm him, she did warn us that if we deliberately try to harm him, she will bring her full wrath on Asgard."
While the last part, Jord did not say herself, Frigga knew that it was heavily implied. Just by talking with her, she knew that Jord really loved this Theos, more than she did any of her other children.
It was understandable, and Frigga did not mind one bit. Frigga was raised by an Avatar of Jord's, not her true self. And even that was for only about 100 years before her mother left Frigga in Njord's care.
Odin frowns at the threat, and almost gets angry. But, he calms himself, understanding that Jord is not someone he can fight carelessly. He did love her once, so he knows exactly how strong she is.
Nodding at Frigga, he says, "I want you to periodically check up on this new Godling. I want to know what he does, and Heimdall's sight has failed us. Baldur," he suddenly turns to his second born son, and Frigga's oldest child, and says, "Travel to Nornheim, and ask the Norn Queens about this Theos Jordson. Doesn't matter what price they ask for this information."
Baldur bows to his father, and says, "As you command, AllFather."
As Baldur leaves the Throne room, with Thor right behind him, Frigga turns to Odin, and says, "Are you sure, you want me to try to spy on the Jordson? You do realise that Jord will learn about this? And she won't take this calmly."
Odin nods, summoning Gungnir to himself, and says, "Yes. But despite her saying that, I cannot just let a strong unaffiliated God roam Midgard freely. We don't know what his aims are, and if he's against us."
Frigga internally angers at the statement, but outwardly, she just frowns and says, "But we do know that. Jord herself said that. Or do you think this Jordson is good enough to hide things from Jord? She is someone, that no one, not even you, with all your runic knowledge can hide from. Are you sure it's not just your bias against a competition for Thor speaking?"
Odin glares at Frigga, and slams Gungnir on the ground, sending a wave of OdinForce towards her. She braces herself, allowing the OdinForce to slam into her, but stands still.
Odin says, "Do not forget who you are speaking to, Frigga. Wife or not, I am still your King. Now leave, we shall speak of this no more."
Frigga nods, and leaves the room, cursing her father to marry her off to Odin. While she did come to love him after almost half a million years of marriage, there were moments when he showed just why Asgardians are hated by the Vanir.
Well, not like she can do anything about it. Time to try and fail scrying for Theos. He might be Physically weak, for now, but his talents in hiding are not to be underestimated. After all, he is the Son of Jord, and Jord is everywhere on Midgard.
---Theos POV---
It's been a few weeks since I met Thor and Loki, the Asgardians. Honestly speaking, I was almost overwhelmed by my fanboy self. Thankfully, they did not look like the actors from the moves at all. So I managed to hold myself back, and stayed professional.
Thor.. my brother. Technically, Scathach was my Grand niece or something, I know that. But this was the first actual half sibling that I've met.
And Loki.. I have no idea why I decided to actually capture him. I sympathize with him actually. As I said, I love my mother, and if anyone harms her, or kidnaped her, doesn't matter who they are, I am going to war.
But still, Thor confirmed what Loki's plan was. He was going to summon the Serpent on Midgard. Thor would have fought it, and he would have died as the other Gods wouldn't have the time to send anyone.
If the Serpent survived fighting and killing Thor, Loki gets his son back, he tries finding more of his children, and wars against Asgard for them. If he died, Loki gets even angrier and wages a more violent war against Asgard. It was a lose-lose situation.
So, yeah. I'll go with that. I stopped Loki to stop a big ass war from happening.
Currently, I was in the African continent, walking around. I was looking for the nation of Wakanda, which currently does not exist, but does have something I want to look at.
Vibranium.
Sure, I can conjure, or transmutate anything into Vibranium anytime I want any, which is a really big cheat. But.. there's something about this Vibranium that I remember seeing in my visions, and also in the movies. And I want to confirm it.
As I walk deeper within the forest, the animals start getting weirder and weirder. Thankfully, I was completely hidden from all mortal senses, and even most of the Divine ones.
By weirder, I mean extra limbs on animals, a few with extra eyes. Heck, there was a monkey I saw, with four arms, that spoke a distinctive language. I understood the conversation, but did not recognize the language spoken as belonging to any Pantheon, so the Gods definitely did not teach them that. Plus, each and every one of them looked like the Elderspawn, despite not having a single drop of Elder God blood in them.
I checked. Echolocation baby. The Energy signature of the Elderspawn is really memorable.
Even the plants were a bit weirder, meaning having more life energy than they should, and some plants were straight up carnivores. I literally just saw a giant plant catch a 4 armed monkey in it's grasp.
As I was walking, I suddenly stop, once again feeling the wave of Magic pass through the planet. This has been happening for a few weeks now.
It started a few days after I had met with Thor and Loki, and kept on happening everyday.
Every day, at different times, a wave of Magic would pass over the planet, encompassing it entirely, and sometimes even under the surface of the Earth, looking for me.
Someone was scrying for me, and failing.
There was no hidden message, and I don't know what the seeker's aim was, but I just knew they were looking for me. There was this feel to the wave, that the person was looking for me. I can't explain it any better than that.
And I was honestly annoyed at the person. Sure, they haven't found me yet, but I don't want to spend every moment of my life hidden. It's just not me.
Someday, I will either drop my Stealth mode, as I'm calling it, and then they'll find me. Or, they might just manage to overcome my Stealth Mode, and then always be able to see where I am. Unless I keep my Cosmic Energy Stealth active at all times.
Currently, I was using my Magic to hide myself, and not to be too dramatic, but I was being one with nature to do it. Literally. My Nature Divinity helped in that. But, I am still young, so I might just make a mistake some day.
Sure, activating Cosmic Stealth might work, but again, I'm young. I might be able to hide my Cosmic Energy from Uatu for a few days, while I was using it. But, I have no idea how long someone might observe the planet, waiting for me to drop my guard.
The one advantage long living beings, like Gods, Demons, and the Cosmics have, is that they have tremendous patience. They can, and will wait for me to drop my guard.
I'll mention something to mother later. I can't exactly threaten any God myself, but mother can.
Ignoring the Scrying for now, I keep walking inside the forest. After a few hours of walking, while observing the different species of animals and plants, I finally find the source of it all. I literally couldn't miss it even if I tried.
A mountain. It looked like an ordinary mountain, green trees covering most of it, while the rest looking brown, thanks to the Earth. But then, there was something extra about it, and it was magnificent.
"Cosmic Energy." I mumble to myself, honestly shocked, but I did kinda expect it. And not just Cosmic Energy, I could recognize the purple colour that some of the rocks shone with once in a while anywhere. The Power Stone's energy.
But surprisingly, purple wasn't the most dominant colour here. It was blue. Like the Energy of the Space Stone, blue. Which just further proves that the Infinity Stones are all connected.
Just think about it.
Mind Stone can activate the Space Stone remotely, Space Stone can send a guardian to the Soul Stone, Mind Stone can grant powers similar to the Reality Stone to Wanda, and now Power Stone can mimic the energy of the Space Stone.
This shit also explains everything weird about Wakanda, including these mutated animals. Cosmic Energy, particularly the Infinity Stone kind, has an amazing effect on regular beings upon overexposure.
Wanda got her powers, as I said, Carol Danvers got hers, while Jarvis gained complete sentience while in the form of Vision. So did Ultron, now that I think about it. Dr Strange saw 14 something million possible futures, and still kept his mind. He died hundreds of times, and kept his mind.
Although nothing happened to the Guardians after they held the Power Stone, we can't discount anything happening in the future.
So, where was I? Ah, yes. Cosmic Energy. I'd Seen the Vibranium meteor fall down here, some 2.5 Million years ago. It was big, like 10 miles wide at it's smallest, big. It was only because of my mother's interference that it did not destroy the entire Continent.
But.. it did not come alone. With it, came the residual energy of the Power Stone, which is the cause of everything that happened here.
Sometime between leaving the planet Torfa, and landing on Earth, though, most of it's Energy turned from Purple, to Blue. Which means something happened in transit, that shifted the Energy Signature of the Cosmic Energy.
And I hope, really hope, that it was a spontaneous event.
Mother did initially notice the energy within it, but did not mess with it, recognizing it as the energy of an Infinity Stone.
So, during these last 2.5 million years, the Meteor became a part of this planet, and the energy was imbued within the Continent of Africa, with it's higher concentration being near the actual crash site.
This Energy is what is currently mutating the life around it, turning them into 4 armed monkeys, 3 eyed giant panthers, and even giant spiders that aren't related to my dear brother Omm's Spider People.
Literally every animal I've come across in this region, if not horribly mutated, was bigger than the usual animals. Sometimes both.
Plucking a pear visible to me, I bite into it, and smile. While nothing on the fruits from my mother's garden, I just know that these fruits are superior to the fruits from the rest of the planet.
So, the Power Stone was responsible for the Heart shaped herb then. I don't think it exists yet, though. It wouldn't have remained hidden if it did exist this far into the past.
While eating the rest of the fruit, I keep walking towards the mountain, curiosity taking over me. Most of the Vibranium is buried under it, but a few small rocks were actually visible above ground too. But they were devoid of any visible proof of Cosmic Energy present. If I used Echolocation, I'd definitely still find it everywhere in this area.
Stopping in front of the mountain, I put my hand on it, and use Echolocation. Despite 2.5 Million years having passed since the meteor crashed here, there was still a decent amount of energy within the mountain, still contained. Rest of it was distributed amongst the small future country of Wakanda.
It wasn't much, but it would have completely dissipated within a few hundred thousand years at most. Meaning when the humans start living here, they won't get much in the way of mutations. So, I sense the Energy, and just smile.
"Don't mind if I do." I whisper, grinning with a bit of greed, and start absorbing the energy stored within, coercing it gently.
Damn, maybe I'm not actually worth Mjolnir? I'm literally stealing energy. Not all of it, but still.
"Theos." A male voice interrupts my heist, making me freeze, and slowly turn back.
There, standing behind me, with his arms crossed and an eyebrow raised, was someone I wanted to meet for so long.
"Hey... Brother.. So glad to finally meet you.." I say, pulling my hand off the mountain, and rubbing the back of my head.
Atum, -and holy shit it's Atum!- glares at me, and asks, "What do you think you're doing? Cosmic Energy is not something to play with."
I put a hand on my heart, and ask, "Hey! I can handle it, you know."
Atum shakes his head, and frustratingly snarls, "Even I, someone who has actually tasted Cosmic Energy before, will find it hard to absorb it within myself at once."
Although he snarled at me, I can feel no maliciousness from him. More like he sort of cares for me, and doesn't want me to get hurt. Huh, that's weird. He never even came to visit once before, why the sudden care?
I'm not sad about that. I know Gods don't see relations the same way mortals do. Which is why this concern.. concerns me.
Still, I try and reassure him, and say, "It's a good thing I wasn't absorbing it all then. I was going to take about 30% of it."
"Why? What was the point in stealing Energy from my land?" Atum says, emphasizing 'my'.
Oh, fuck. The Ennead have the Dominion over this entire Continent, right? I'd almost forgotten about that.
I just shrug and point towards the forest. I say, "I've seen the effect this Energy has had on the life here, and if my guess is correct, even on the New Gods here. I want to observe the effects from the beginning on my own planet." Plus, absorb some of it. I'm not an idiot. I know how useful even residual energy could be.
Atum keeps looking at me, and I can almost see him considering it. Finally, after a few minutes of silence, he says, "30%, and not even a bit more. That's all you're allowed to take. You will owe me a favour in return."
Not hesitating I jump in excitement, and say, "I accept, brother! You can contact mother whenever you want the favour to be collected."
Atum nods, looks at the mountain in question, and says, "Be careful with the Energy, Theos." Huh, I never introduced myself to him. Maybe he's spoken with mother about me before. He continues speaking, bringing me out of my musing, and says, "The Energy is volatile. When I tried absorbing it, as I'd notice it change the animals here, it burned me.. badly."
I nod, accepting the warning, and say, "I will be careful with it, Atum. Don't worry."
Atum looks at me, judging me, and says, "Very well. And my name is Ra now."
I just smile and wave him goodbye, as he teleports out. But this time, I know he's still keeping an eye on me, to make sure I don't do anything stupid.
Well, time to do something stupid.
Placing both my palms on the mountain, I coerce the Energy once again, and start absorbing it. While I do absorb it within my body, I still keep it isolated from my own store of Cosmic Energy. If I try to mix it, it'll definitely do something volatile, like corrupt it.
It did hurt, as it was the corrosive energy of the Power Stone, along with the blue calm, but still harmful energy of the Space Stone. But the pain wasn't as much as any mortal, or God would feel. Basically it felt like I was itching everywhere, with my heart feeling as if someone was pinching it.
As soon as the Energy stores within the mountain drop down to the limit Atum-Ra mentioned to me, I stop absorbing it. Looking up at the Sun, I smile cheekily, and say, "See? Only 30%. Unfortunately, you didn't say anything about the metal here, so.. toodles!"
Saying that, as I feel Atum teleport towards me, I use a portal and send a small chunk of the glowing blue rock to my planet, directly from within the mountain, and teleport to Donna immediately.
Was that smart? Nope. But I didn't like that he basically had the upper hand on me at the time. Did I even need the Vibranium? Again, nope. And Atum probably knows that. But I wanted to slight him, and now, he knows it too.
Will I pay for it? Probably later, as this is my planet, and his rules don't apply here!
Turning to the stolen Vibranium, I pick it up, and start flying. It wasn't heavy, barely a few tons. But the weight wasn't exactly balanced. So, I did have to use a bit of Magic to help me carry it.
I know what effect Vibranium, and the Cosmic Energy, together had on living beings while in a temperate area of Africa. So, now, I'm going to try on a.. colder place. Not completely covered in snow type places, more like it snows during winter, but it's a moderate temperature the rest of the time.
Stopping above one such location, which is again next to a mountain, which was on purpose, I hold the metal rock above me, and throw it down with a tremendous force, to mimic a meteor crash.
The meteor crashes a few hundred metres away from the mountain with a beautiful crash, sending a shockwave miles and miles away. Thankfully, my planet is pretty big, so nothing harmful will happen anywhere far away.
As the blast recedes, I see that the metal rock is now broken, with just a small 3 feet wide piece being the biggest. The pieces were mostly within the crater, which was half a kilometre wide, reaching the mountain even, and the Energy had started to spread.
Unfortunately, that meagre amount of energy won't be enough to change anything more than an ant. So, I summon my Cosmic Energy to my hands, and point them towards the burning ground.
Visualizing the aim in my mind, I fire it towards the mountain, and change a big part of it into Vibranium. Not completely though. The mountain was still mostly made of other Donna native minerals, only now, with a few patches of Vibranium in it.
These Patches are still not what's needed for my experiment. So, I summon the Power Stone energy to my right hand, and my Cosmic Energy to my left. Placing my left hand over my right, I create a two handed hammer fist, and fire Cosmic Energy from both hands, aiming towards the mountain.
When the purple-blue-white mixture of Energy lands on the mountain, the Vibranium within it immediately begins absorbing it.
It takes time, a few minutes in fact, when I finally finish filling the Vibranium with the mixture of energies, leaving me with just about a quarter of the Energy I came here with. And my own Cosmic stores halved.
The mountain meanwhile, has 70% Infinity Stone energy, and 30% my Energy. Why was my energy necessary? Because the Infinity Stone's Energy wasn't enough, simple as that.
If my calculations were right, then within a 100 years, my Cosmic Energy will slowly change to imitate the energy of the Infinity Stones. At least, that's what will happen to the energy within the mountain, as I won't bother controlling the change.
Meanwhile, I will absorb the Infinity Stone's energy that I have stored within myself, and assimilate it. Thankfully, I'm a Cosmic being, and I've already experienced it once, so it won't hurt me now.
I hope.

A/N: I hope this chapter is good. Okay, one more chapter with Asgardian POV, and then we'll move on from here.
Ragnarok is still far away from here, so expect many time skips.
Tata!
