Chthon stood still for a while still wondering who to give his powers and authority to. He no longer wanted to conquer the Earth. Chthon no longer wanted anything on Earth anymore, it was too small. He was now Death, the things he wanted the Earth could not provide, only Joshua Parker could provide him with more power. Chthon would not be so stupid like the last source of Death in this universe to offend Joshua Parker. Chthon wondered how he could make Joshua Parker happy ?
As Chthon thought about it a name came up from his mind Jonathan Pangborn who would soon lose his ability to walk or move. But then even with that Jonathan Pangborn's heart was too good but the dying Jonathan Pangborn at the end of his life was a bitter cruel man. Chthon's mouth curled up into a smile. Soon he would be able to get a good helper.
As we cut across New York City a few days later we see a curio shop with a young man slumped on a chair in it. Yes, that young man is Ned Earp. Ned Earp was fiddling with his Shield hand phone playing a game while slumped on a chair in the curio shop. While Samantha was using a fly scatter waiting for flying flys to swat. Both of them have a bored look on their face. Suddenly Ned Earp's phone rang.
"Mr. Earp, it's me Phil Coulson.", Phil Coulson said politely.
"Yes, what's up ? Is Shield going to put more money into my pocket ?", Ned the necromancer asked in a happy tone.
Phil Coulson's face immediately turned black, "No Mr. Earp there are no emergencies at this moment. It's just Director Nick Fury wants you and Samantha to come in to form the group known as the Avengers. We have a training session with Dr. Banner, Black Widow and Hawkeye.", Phil Coulson said politely.
"How much am I getting paid ?", Ned the necromancer asked sweetly.
"Um. Nothing. It's just a training session.", Phil Coulson said in a polite tone.
"Then is Tony Stark going to be there ? I heard he was also suppose to be part of the Avengers program.", Ned the necromancer asked in a calm tone.
"Um. No, Tony Stark won't be able to come. He is busy with his business.", Phil Coulson said politely.
"Then I refuse. Unless I get paid I will be busy in my curio shop.", Ned the necromancer said disdainfully.
"Mr. Earp, Director Nick Fury has told me to convince you however long it takes.", Phil Coulson said politely.
"Oh. Then we can talk about the many ways of gay sex...", Ned the necromancer said happily. Ned the necromancer continued to talk to Phil Coulson on the many forms of gay sex. Ned even went into detail into how it's performed and how it felt. After fifteen minutes, Phil Coulson slammed down the phone and ran to the Shield toilet to vomit. That was the last time Phil Coulson asked Ned Earp and Samantha to come to Shield for group training.
Chthon the new Death had walked towards his mansion. When he walked, a group of humans who were death worshippers carried in a crippled man. That crippled man was Jonathan Pangborn.
"Mr. Pangborn I presume.", Chthon disguised as a middle aged man said leisurely.
"Yes. Who are you ?", Jonathan Pangborn asked curiously.
"My name is Chthon. You may know me as Death.", Chthon said leisurely.
"Don't joke with me Mr. Chthon. You can't be Death.", Jonathan Pangborn said calmly.
"Ha ! Ha ! Ha !", Chthon laughed as he pulled Jonathan Pangborn's soul out of his body for a brief moment and put in in Death's realm before putting it back.
"Now do you believe me ?", Chthon asked with a smug smile.
"You... you... really are Death. What do you want with me ?", Jonathan Pangborn asked in a fearful tone.
"Sigh. The current you won't understand. But the future you will grab this opportunity.", Chthon said as he waved his hand. An energy moved from Chthon's hand onto Jonathan Pangborn. To normal people you would not see any changes but to Gods you would see that Jonathan Pangborn's soul has changed. This is not the current Jonathan Pangborn but the future Jonathan Pangborn that had his powers stolen and years had gone by. This Jonathan Pangborn had suffered unbelievable cruelty before he died placing him in Death's realm. Now Chthon the new Death had taken him from the future and put him in his current body. A simple thing for one of the five great Gods of this universe.
"It's you again ! Where am I ?!", Jonathan Pangborn shouted out.
"Think slowly Mr. Pangborn. And soon you will know.", Chthon said as he smiled. It was a success. Soon he will have a strong soldier.
Jonathan Pangborn gathered his thoughts before he realised he had gone back in time to when he first became crippled.
"I want revenge ! I can give you whatever you want ! Even my soul Chthon god of dark magic !", Jonathan Pangborn shouted out.
"Ha ! Ha ! Ha ! I have no need for your soul as it soon will belong to me back again. If you want I can give your soul to you back and give you endless power.", Chthon said and smiled happily.
"Wait you are not the Chthon I know, you are Death. What had happened ?!", Jonathan Pangborn shouted out in shock.
"Ha ! Ha ! Ha ! Let's not talk about that. Do you want revenge against Baron Karl Mordo ? Do you want power ?", Chthon asked while smiling happily.
"Yes ! Yes !", Jonathan Pangborn shouted out.
"Are you willing to become my servant ? I will give you the authority for the god of dark magic as well as give you the mark of Death. You will be immortal and be un killable.", Chthon asked with a smile on his face.
"Yes, this lowly one greets his master !", Jonathan Pangborn shouted out as he tried to bow down.
"Then receive my god head over black magic and chaos magic. I have also marked you with my mark, the mark of Death. Other than you, only Thanos have it.", Chthon said with a smile.
As Chthon flicked his hand, Jonathan Pangborn split into two, there was still a crippled Jonathan Pangborn lying down on the sofa but there was another healthy Jonathan Pangborn with red eyes standing next to the crippled Jonathan Pangborn.
"Thank you master !", Jonathan Pangborn knelt down in front of Chthon.
"You know that you cannot stay in Earth for long. Atum the God Eater will find you and eat you. But you can use your crippled corpse to fulfill destiny and bring Dr. Stephen Strange to the Ancient One. Your corpse could also be used to trap Baron Karl Mordo when he comes to steal your energy.", Chthon said with a smile.
"Yes. Thank you Master.", both Jonathan Pangborn said simultaneously as the crippled Jonathan Pangborn opened his eyes and started to speak as well.
"What is my mission master ?", The standing Jonathan Pangborn with the red eyes asked respectfully.
"You know that other than you Thanos has my mark of Death. Thanos is my pawn to increase my own power by causing more deaths. However Master Joshua the God of All cannot be disturbed by my little schemes lest he becomes angry at me.", Chthon said respectfully.
"What ?! Joshua Parker a mortal is the Supreme God of All ?!", both Jonathan Pangborn's shouted out simultaneously.
"Yes. And I would keep that to yourself. What I want you to do is find out anyone related to Joshua Parker, so when Thanos kills off half the universe, these people would be spared.", Chthon said calmly.
"Yes ! Master ! I will do it right away with all my resources !", the standing Jonathan Pangborn with red eyes shouted out and disappeared.
Chthon seeing the healthy Jonathan Pangborn having left, asked the Death worshippers to come in and bring the crippled Jonathan Pangborn back to his place. When everyone left, Chthon's body slowly dissipated.
