Chapter 197 - Asgard & Timeline Changing...

[Bifrost, Asgard]

A dark-skinned man was standing like a statue with his eyes closed. The man was completely clad in armor. The man suddenly opened his eyes and frowned, his eyes were odd… very odd. His eyes were glowing brightly… he was known as Heimdall, the Gatekeeper of Asgard.

Heimdall had the ability to see everything happening in the nine realms. He mentally sent a message to his King. He had seen something which should be immediately informed to his King. Because of his duties as the Gatekeeper, he was unable to leave his post… what he had seen was very worrying. He didn't know how he had missed this before.

Only after a few minutes, his King appeared along with his entourage. The King of Asgard was an old man with white hair and he had lost one of his eyes. The man had a majestic aura around him. The King was also known as All-Father, Odin. Odin appeared on Bifrost along with his younger son, Thor. Thor was a tall blond man… his blond hair was similarly long like his father's.

The guards stayed behind while Odin and Thor approached Heimdall, to talk with him.

"Heimdall, what happened? It seemed quite urgent" Odin asked without losing his Kingly persona.

"Your Majesty, I have found a Cosmic Entity on Midgard" Heimdall said and Odin's eyes grew wide while Thor looked confused, he knew there are a lot of things within the nine realms but this was the first time he had heard of this term, Cosmic Entity.

Odin was immediately filled with worry, Thor saw his father worried like this for the first time. He didn't know what this Cosmic Entity was but seeing his father's worry he knew that it must be something strong. It was a well-known fact in Asgard that the younger prince loved battles. Everyone knew that the prince was muscle-brained but no one had the courage to mention that.

Odin wanted his younger son, Thor to be the next King of Asgard but Thor's personality left much to be desired. Odin made his son follow him in the hope that his battle-brained son would learn something from him about being a King.

"Cosmic Entity? What's that?" Thor was unable to hold back his curiosity and finally asked but Odin ignored him and asked Heimdall his own question.

"Which Cosmic Entity?" Odin asked in an urgent tone. Heimdall looked towards Thor to answer his question but Odin butted in with his own question. Odin's question was much more important so he decided to answer that first.

"The Phoenix Force" Heimdall said and Odin grew completely silent. Now that Heimdall had answered Odin's question he decided to answer his prince's question.

"The Cosmic Entities are primordial beings that predate the universe. They are mysterious and powerful beyond mortal comprehension, existing as myths to the oldest species in the universe" Heimdall explained but by the end of Heimdall's explanation, Thor's eyes were gleaming with excitement.

"Your Majesty, there is another oddity I have noticed in Midgard, I think it is quite troubling" Heimdall said bringing Odin out of his thoughts.

"What can be more troubling than this?" Odin asked slightly surprised. Odin knew very well about Heimdall's powers so he didn't scoff at Heimdall's claim.

"I noticed someone using the Power of Destruction" Heimdall said and Odin almost choked. Power of Destruction?? Being the King of Asgard he very well knew what the Power of Destruction was and what someone could do with that power.

(A/N: This is the first time Heimdall noticed Reo using his Power of Destruction because before this Reo only used his power during training and he always trained in his special room. A room that would block any kind of energy from escaping until attacked directly)

"In Midgard?" Odin asked, this time fear was clear in his voice. Thor was taken aback when he saw his father scared. He had never seen his father scared of something…

"Yes, but no matter how much I try, I am unable to see this being" Heimdall said. Odin became completely silent, he was contemplating what he had just heard. That means in Midgard there were two Cosmic Entities, what were they even doing there. Odin knew very well, that they were two beings because Phoenix Force didn't have the Power of Destruction.

"Father, how strong are these beings?" Thor asked his father. Odin frowned at his son… this wasn't good. He now knows that he made a very big mistake. He shouldn't have brought his son here… he knew his son the best and knew his tendencies. His son would definitely seek out a fight with these beings and this wasn't something he wanted.

Odin was strong but he very well knew about his limits. A long time ago, Odin was very different, at that time he waged wars in the 9 realms with his daughter but he never had the guts to fight against a Cosmic Entity but he knew that his son would do it because his son didn't have a working brain. This was quite disturbing… he needed to stop his son from making a foolish mistake and lose his life.

"Strong, very strong. Son, there are some things that we should stay away from and Cosmic Entities are beings like that. The Phoenix Force represents life, resurrection, and creation while the being possessing the Power of Destruction represents, death, ruin, destruction, and anything similar to that. The being possessing the Power of Destruction is more dangerous though… with a gesture, he could destroy whole worlds" Odin said in a grave tone. Thor frowned but nodded his head.

"Father, then what should we do?" Thor asked while understanding. He might not be smart or intelligent, but he knew that he shouldn't mess with beings that could destroy whole worlds.

"We watch, there is nothing more we could do. There are some times when you should watch before taking an action. We don't know that if these beings are our enemies or not but even if they were we couldn't have done anything. Midgard might be under our protection but we don't know why those beings are there" Odin explained to his son, Thor simply nodded his head in understanding.

"Heimdall, keep an eye on the Phoenix Force, we might have to pay a visit if necessary" Odin said in a grave tone. He knew that he might need to visit Midgard to meet them or at least observe them. From what he had read from the ancient records of Asgard that these beings are mostly uncaring or dismissive. They don't even have a motive behind their actions, they simply do what they do because they can do it…

That is quite a scary thought in itself but Odin didn't have any options now. For now, he will watch though before paying them a visit. After that, both Odin and Thor returned to their guards and all of them left towards the Royal Palace.

[Kamar-Taj, Nepal]

It was night, but the Ancient One was still awake, her friend Luna was already asleep in the guest room but sleep didn't come to the Ancient One. She was seeing changes… everything in the future was changing, in the original timeline, she had seen how the humans were going to drive the mutants to extinction but now, that future has changed.

The mutant nation would prosper and bring change to the whole world, it won't be mutant domination but Elysium, the mutant country Reo had made will be the center of a lot of things in the future. They will be controlling every tech company in the human world, and they will also control a lot of things from behind the scenes.

She wasn't worried about these things though… she never cared what happened between mutants and humans. The most worrying thing she saw changing was that the host of Phoenix Force won't die. It wasn't something important but having a Cosmic Entity on the planet was worrying. The Ancient One already knew about Reo but an opposite Cosmic Entity could be trouble. Currently, there was nothing she could do though… after all the Phoenix Force must have been freed by Reo because she felt him using his Power of Destruction. This was the first time she had noticed him using this power.

There were several changes in the future but for now, she was unable to discern which will be the better one. She wanted to have a conversation with Luna about this. The Ancient One knew that her new friend was way stronger than her when the future visions were being discussed. For now, the Ancient One decided to give up. The Phoenix Force could be a great asset in the future if the host is strong.

The Ancient One wanted to keep an eye on the Phoenix Force but she knew that there was a high chance that the Phoenix Force would notice her, that was the reason she had stopped watching Reo too. So, she saw everything happening around them…

Hah! The Ancient One released a huge sigh and decided to take some rest. She would achieve nothing by worrying like this…
