Apocalypse used his telekinesis to change the direction of the crimson heart-seeking, lance of death...
Well he tried... Sometimes, ignorance is bliss.
Aizzzzzz!
Like that would do anything, it still didn't stop Gae Bolg from piercing his heart while looking helpless. Not that I care or anything, he crossed my path and while it was indirect, I had to deal with the problem from the roots.
En Sabah Nur, kept looking at me with his gaze filled with fear and regret as his regeneration kicked in and tried to heal his mortal injuries but...
That move wasn't called the heart-seeker for no reason.
"Sabah Nur kiddo, you really shouldn't have ran before you could walk. Not that it makes any difference since I'll still end up killing you by the way. As for the Rama-Tut guy? I have a feeling I should know who that is but since he looks like an aberration, I'll take care of him at my leisure. You can die in peace knowing you died by the hands of The Monarch. You should be honored, mongrel".
Well, that was cringe... I promise it sounded better in my head. Man it's so lonely at the top.
Aigoooooo!
"Hahahahahahahahahahahaha.. Cough. Cough.. Damn!, I gotta work on that. Imagine choking while trying to scare some A-Class villanous mongrels. That'll be embarrassing". He muttered as he walked towards the pyramid in the distance after disintegrating Apocalypse body, he wasn't gonna risk a zombie version of him coming back. It'll be too troublesome.
He walked into the pyramid and was greeted by some whirring mechanical noises.
Sounds troublesome... He didn't bother stepping in as he just opened a golden swirling portal and let it fall in...
Even celestial tech counts as an artifact. I'll go through that later. Too lazy to at the moment.
Kathmandu!!!! Make way for this King!!!

Kathmandu, Nepal
In this part of the world, stood an ancient order of ancient mystic sorcerers, charged with defending the physical plane from attack from ambitious realm-lords after it was founded by Agamotto, himself.
And as of this moment in time, the Sorcerer Supreme, Zhered Na was facing what she could describe as the most difficult meeting in her career as the Sorcerer Supreme.
And no, it's not what you're thinking. She wasn't battling with some realm lord or anything as even Dormammu has been dealt with by a certain someone. Not that she was complaining as the sorcerer involved had already paid the price for it.
She made sure of that.
If only he'd stop looking at me that way', she thought as the gaze of The Monarch kept staring right into her soul. Yes... You heard right, The Monarch himself, clad in his imperial majesty even when he tried to hide it so as to blend in, came knocking on her front door and that wasn't expected as due to some obscure reasons not known to her, she couldn't see him with the 'Eye Of Agamottoʼ.
Not that she wasn't expecting this....
"So, mind giving me an answer as to what I said........", his courtly voice echoed around the room, as his eyes still kept staring at her
"Your High.. No... Majesty, it would be an honor to have you amongst us, My Prince". I replied while projecting as much respect as I could while not coming off as too submissive.
And I meant every single word I said, word had spread far and wide about the Golden Imperial and I knew it was an honor having him amongst us as sorcerers as that would be a major helping hand against the forces setting their eyes on Earth. And was I supposed to say no to having someone who I deeply respected, who just so happens to be THE God Of Knowledge and Teaching????
Fuck No!!!

Gilgamesh POV
After dealing with that mongrel, Sabah Nur kiddo, I used Vimana to travel to Nepal and to my surprise, Zhered Na is the present Sorcerer Supreme.
As I remember, Zhered-Na was a sorceress from Atlantis practicing white magic and a well known worshipper of Valka also the Sorcerer Supreme after Agamotto.
I threw out the idea of me being given access to their library and all of that, I even prepared a long ass speech to convince her in case things goes south.
Not that it'll deter me in any way, it'll just be too troublesome after all.
Now imagine my surprise when she accepted easily which made me realize I prepared the long ass speech about the good of humanity and all of that she-bang. Damn! Charisma for the win people.
I knew she was in awe of my majesty after all.... Hahahahaha.
'Looks like I'm gonna be busy for the next few centuries', I thought with a smile on my face while gazing at the setting sun.
