After killing Thanos, I easily took the mind stone from him and took my time searching through the ship while slaughtering the minions that were around. He didn't have the weapon to hold both stones, so he hid the soul stone in his chambers.
I easily traversed to the location and entered his room. It wasn't gaudy, which was unexpected since Thanos chose to become a farmer after killing trillions. Bending reality in the room, I quickly see the soul stone. I dismiss my thoughts as I focus on the infinity stone in front of me. I have most of the stones now, save for the time stone.
Ever since I had gotten the reality stone, I used it in tandem with the power stone to make divination on me as hard as possible. I didn't block it, but instead made people see false futures. I don't know how much it would hold up against the time stone, but it is two infinity stones against one and it isn't blatant, so I have hope that it will work somehow.
I dismiss my thoughts of that now and focus on my current location. Without any fanfare, I explode, taking the battleship with me.
The Ancient One's Pov:
Seeing the alien ship explode was exactly unsurprising since it did happen in the few timelines I saw, but in most the heroes of the earth united to defeat the would-be alien warlords. That was the better option because, after the ship exploded, my death usually occurred soon afterwards.
I didn't know who the person was since it appeared more of a blur than a person. This wasn't surprising since all sorts of malevolent creatures exist in the multiverse, but I made sure to prepare adequate wards to be able to better defend myself as well as the sanctums as soon as it comes. As soon as the ship exploded I teleported back to the sanctum in Kamar-Taj.
"Get ready to defend yourself, we are currently facing an unknown foe," I inform the masters of the sanctum. "Spread the information to the other sanctums."
"At once, master." One master said before leaving. I go back to my chambers and use the time stone to check for new solutions. The only method I saw myself surviving was if I handed over the time stone which was worrying, plus not something I would do.
Maybe I can get Elsa to help out, she was one of the most powerful people I have met. The only ones who I have met that have eclipsed her are Dormammu, other cosmic beings and Loki. This is why it isn't smart to bring her since her father would be wrathful if anything happens to her.
Loki Pov:
'Elsa is going to be happy with me. Though I could also resurrect her unless Dormammu gets her soul first.' I thought as I made my way towards the sanctum. Preparing to sap out the energy from the wards and runes I am pleasantly surprised to easily get access to the sanctum.
They haven't revoked my access which means they haven't suspected me or they could use this to make me feel secure before trapping me. It is normally not wise to attack a wizard in their domain but I have trust in my capabilities.
"Oracle if I am not back by the end of the day. Tell Hela my location and that I was most likely sealed or banished." I doubted it would occur, I had almost all the infinity stones stored in my hammerspace, plus my countless other abilities.
Utilizing my superspeed I quickly ran through the sanctum towards the ancient one. I didn't have a blur currently because those gave positions away. Swiftly arriving in front of her I get ready to cut her head off with my strike, but as I deliver the strike, time turns around and I am back at the door of her chambers.
I attacked several times at a speed where she can't even see me, but every time I kill her, she returns time.
'What kind of Doctor Strange shit is happening right now.' I thought as the chamber began attacking me, with eldritch chains and blasts of different magic. Something which I easily blocked or destroyed with my unique chaos magic and dodged with my speed.
'This is getting annoying' I thought before summoning the reality and power stone while continuing to kill her every second. She couldn't even see my identity because she has died at least 100 times so far and her shields were ineffective against my strength and speed. With the two stones, I used my will and magic to fight the effect of this weird time bubble she set on the room.
Within a second I saw her time spell break and with a final hit, I punched her, ridding her of her stomach. "Nothing personal, kid, but some things are just more important than good acquaintances."
Before her soul leaves her body though I use the soul stone, to remove Dormammu's taint and whisk her away to my personal Nirvana I created years ago. Before I leave though, I heal her body so as not to leave her a gory mess.
With that, I teleport to Perfectum. "Thanos could use the infinity stones to kill half the universe as well as destroy the infinity stones. The Dark Elves could use just one stone to turn the nine realms into absolute darkness, supposedly and Ego could use a seed to turn himself into the universe. So I see no reason why I can't use it to give myself the power to create and destroy universes easily. Will my body be able to handle that though?"
With my mind made up, I first use the time stone to look into the future to see if I will make it. When I was done, I was satisfied with the result. Taking out the other stones I place them in Sortem and proceed to snap.
I felt an incredible amount of pain, as well as pleasure as I felt my body, soul and magic being strengthened to absurd levels. I was just about to fear I would become a masochist when the pain stopped but the power-boosting didn't. I didn't want to be dependent on a few rocks, so I absorbed the power with my entire being, but how does one absorb infinity? The same method that you can destroy infinity, plot armour.

"Running an empire is fucking easy, why was I even reluctant," I say as I relax in a pool with Hela and Aelsa. Both of them were pregnant and their bellies were already swelling.
"Sometimes I hate you," Aelsa replied. "Not everyone has access to clones or so much might that their subjects and enemies fear them."
"I like it though. I get to conquer planets and don't have to worry about most of the boring work. Plus, I am unfit for work because of my condition." Hela replies as she rubs her belly.
"I could always speed up your pregnancy than you would be able to work," I suggest causing her to stop complaining. "I am thinking about broadening my horizons to other universes. Want to join? We can invite Draigoch, Jormungandr and Elsa and make it a family event."
"I spent twenty years running this empire, so I don't see a problem with a break," Hela replies.
"Sounds exciting, my baby has been stressed running Alfheim. Plus this would help get Draig to stop stealing our universe's treasures." Aelsa says. As soon as my son went through puberty, he stole everything from women to ancient artifacts and hoarded them. He was quite introverted and it would be nice having him on an adventure.
"That settles it. Let's introduce the multiverse to the Loki Familia." I said, it has been two decades since I absorbed the infinity stones and I didn't fear many things anymore.
"As soon as we give birth and the children mature though, dear." Aelsa being the voice of reason supplies. I grumble a yes, life was good though. I had a nice family, enough power to not worry about most foes in our universe and plenty of others, sure there were some people above me in power level, but I could always steal the heart of the universe and become as close to omnipotent that I could get.
A/N: Wow this story is finally done, I hope most people are satisfied with the ending. To be honest I lost my enthusiasm for this story several chapters ago(the mc was too op and nerfing is stupid. I discovered reading about op characters is fun, writing them not so much) but I am glad you guys chose to stay with the story. Like I said in the previous chapter there is a Percy Jackson story on my profile if you want to read it.
