The Grimoire of Anos Voldigoad. After the time was up, the grimoire disappeared, leaving Dawn feeling thirsty for more knowledge.
Instantly, he ascended into the 7th tier in the mana ring magic system. With him still keeping his adult appearance, Dawn's strength instantly became doubled when he ascended. That's why the Collector's collection couldn't do anything against him.
The grimoire also rewarded him through his usage. All of the magic that he used in the battle was imprinted inside his mind without even studying them. The reason he maintained his adult form without returning to his 100 years old self was because of two reasons.
"There is no chance you'll return to being a teenager again. This looks suits you very much." Hela stopped him from casting the ageing spell in reverse. She also stopped him because the age he was right now was around her age in real life. His older temperament also struck Hela's heart, causing her to request Dawn's visit daily from now on.
The other reason was because of the Anos Voldigoad magic. "Unless I reach the 8th mana circle, I won't be able to use them anymore. And with the dangers lurking by, I need this strength at this moment." Dawn muttered to himself.
Keeping the ageing spell could help him to protect Ryan, the main body as he was the strongest version of him at this moment.
Inside the severed head of the Celestial.
"Karina!" Arina, the trainee Mandalorian ran toward her long lost cousin and hugged her tightly.
"Who?" Karina asked in puzzlement as the one who hugged her had a helmet on. Arina took off her helmet and showed her face to her cousin. Both of the twin-tail girls hugged each other tightly and sobbed as they fell on the ground.
Howard the Duck passed by the crying girls with a glass of martini in his hand. "Hmm… Dramas…It makes my drink taste sour."
Almost all intelligent beings in the collection were taken out by Dawn. But, the more dangerous species was held back for a while so as to not endanger the others.
Howard walked toward the animal pen and started to tease a 10 metre long golden snake.
"Yo! Giant Banana!" The Duck called out. The snake hissed at him and tried to attack him, but the energy shield saved the duck. Howard held his stomach and laughed at the pitiful monster.
"Paw." Annika ordered. Cosmo excitedly held his paw out and shook Annika's hand.
"Good boy." Annika complimented.
"Humph! I can do that too." Meowth pouted and crossed his arm together.
On the other side of the severed head, Dawn was trying hard to calm down an angry Goddess of Death.
"Like I said before. I don't like Phyla-Vell." Dawn said exasperatingly while massaging his forehead. 'I swear to God I will curse that son of a bitch Kai.' He planned inwardly.
"Remember what I said. I don't mind if you want to get some concubines. But I need to approve of them first."
"I am not taking any concubines!" Dawn said angrily and pulled Hela by her waist. He locked eyes with her and said, "I only need you."
As Hela was still in her android body, she was a bit shorter than Dawn at this time. She stared at his lips, and he too did the same. They inch their mouths together when….
" Ehem Ehem." Rocket cleared his throat to announce his presence.
"I am Groot."
"Um…You called for us?" Gamora asked shyly. Quill was extremely mad at Rocket for running the entertainment for them. Adam was still emotionless, while Phyla-Vell was as red as a tomato.
"Good. You're all here." Dawn said, not letting Hela go from his embrace. She rolled her eyes and pinched the back of his hand as she removed his hand away from her waist.
"Boss. Do we still have to take Quill's stinky and tiny ship? There are a lot of us here."
"You're the one stinking my ship!" Quill retorted. "If you bathe more, then there will be less smell." Gamora chided.
"True. Quill has a problem with body odour." Adam Warlock chimed in while flashing a rare smile.
"When did I become everyone's target? Also Boss, what did Yondu take from the collection?" Quill quickly changed the subject. Phyla-Vell dropped her shoulders sadly as she missed her chance to critique. She too has many complaints against Quill. Groot softly patted her shoulder to cheer her up.
"Some arrows." Dawn replied casually.
Flashback.
Yondu had taken 20 Yaka arrows from inside the vault. He thought Yondu would be happy to get them, but he told him that his species would only lose their weapons when they died. The 20 arrows wasn't a treasure, it's an obituary.
But then Yondu burst into laughter and told him, "Dead people can't use this. So I will take them with me and give them to those who deserved it."
Flashback ends.
"I can give you another ship. Ones that are bigger." Dawn handed them a few documents.
"As you know, I hired all of you to become the Guardian of the Galaxy. You can get whatever you want as long as you keep helping people. The coordinates I gave you consisted of multiple primitive species civilization that was taken over by some universe pirates."
"You want us to kill them?...Wait, can we even kill them? We're the good guys, right?" Quill asked.
Rocket jumped on top of a display glass and smacked the back of Quill's head once he was high enough. "Do you really think the boss cares about that? As long as we don't touch the innocents, we can even blow up planets! HAHAHAHA!" Rocket laughed out loud as he saw Dawn nodded in agreement.
Dawn was the best boss ever for the little raccoon.
After he was experimented on, he was in pain all of the time. Even his lifespan was reduced because of this. But by one wave of Dawn's hand, all of the pain that has been plaguing him – turning him into a high-temper individual, was all gone.
'I don't care if we're going to be good or bad. I will follow the man in front of me until the end of my time.' Rocket vowed inside his heart. Gamora noticed Rocket's change in temperament after being alone with Dawn. He was more friendly now, and less bitter.
Gamora attributed all of the changes to Dawn's awesomeness. She couldn't wait for the time her father crossed paths with Dawn. If the opportunity arrived, she wanted to slay Thanos herself, but she won't block others from doing the same thing.
The Guardians soon got aboard the Milano – they would use the ship while the new one was getting readied.
"Adam." Dawn called out before he could get aboard. Then, he handed a thick book toward the golden man. "This is a compilation of magic spells you can learn. Once you get through with this, I will give you another."
"Thank you. I appreciate your kindness."
Phyla-Vell waved at Dawn with a golden bracelet on her hand. Dawn unexpectedly found a pair of Nega-bands inside the Collector's Vault. The broken pair of bracelets was studied by Ryan at this time. Once he's through with it, Dawn has no doubt Ryan could mass produce the god-coveted item.
After finishing creating the defence mechanism on the severed head, Dawn and Hela get on board the Arcadia ship.
"We will go to Skrullos to pick up the rest of the girls. Take care of our headquarters when we aren't there will you?" Dawn asked.
Annika replied, "Yes. I will, my lord."
Hercules would stay with her to protect the headquarters together. Dawn knew that Annika wouldn't be true to herself if he was over there, so he decided to give Hercules some time.
'If you miss the chance, then it's your own fault.' Dawn thought while looking at Hercules. The hairy man was still staring at Annika with hearts in his eyes even though she clearly showed displeasure from his action.
"Well…Try your best." Dawn patted Hercules' shoulder before he left, leaving a stunned God of Strength behind him.
…
One-EyedCyclop: Now that the guardian has assembled, I will take my leave.
Hydra: But you don't do shit.
One-EyedCyclop: *Leaves anyway*
(A/N : The sailor moon meme, but its Fury and Ryan haha)
Ryan updated the chat group about the progress of creating the Guardians of the Galaxy, and also the rewards he got from a universal level threat. Some of the rewards he got was Eldar Technology (Warhammer), Gundam creation, A world engine(Warhammer), Omnitrix (Master Control Locked), and many more.
Mythic : Congrats. You finished all of your quests right?
Hydra : Yeah. I only need 10 people to take my quests, then I will get into level 4 Marketplace.
VampireKid: Dude, did you really get an Omnitrix?
Hydra: Yeah. But it only has 10 alien changes.
Mephisto: Dude, now that you're free. The X-genes!
Hydra: Right! Also, you want to see if the Celestial genes match the X-genes right?
Mephisto: That's right.
Hydra: I will give you the analysis result and samples later. The severed head genes had deteriorated. I have to do a lot of analysis to find the perfect sequence.
Mephisto: I will leave it to you then.
'Everything's back to normal huh.' Ryan thought.
On Earth. The SSV ship carrying the Fantastic Four finally arrived at the space navy hangar area in Nevada. Gwen studied the people in a blue suit with the number 4 on it as they came out of the ship.
Several people had come to be with Ryan at his Fantastic Four reception. Peggy Carter who has a cold look on her face, the solemn Tony Stark in his Iron Man suit with the helmet retracted, and even a bald asian guy in a monk suit.
"Gentlemen. Ladies." Ryan said as he helped Susan Storm to get off the ship by holding her hand. Gwen narrowed her eyes at him, but then she saw the bulge on Susan's stomach. Quickly, she approached her and helped her to settle down.
"Dude. Earth has colonised Mars?" Johnny ran toward Ryan and shook his shoulder as he was too excited.
Peggy took out her gun and aimed at Johnny instantly. "Step away from the Vice President." Peggy threatened.
""What?"" Both Johnny and Ryan muttered at the same time, flabbergasted by the sudden hostility.
"Ryan. Don't be too trusting. We don't know why they come here yet." Tony said, stepping up toward Ryan and separated him from the Fantastic Four. Even Wong stepped up and stood next to Ryan, guarding him from the visitors.
"Guys. Let's all just take a deep breath." Ryan said, trying to calm down the group there. Gwen and Susan stared at the confrontation with shaky eyes, trying to figure out where everything went wrong.
"Mr. Knight. I will take them all to Kamar Taj to make sure that they are not demons in disguise." Wong said and tried to open a portal, but Tony interjected, "Nah. They are going to the SHIELD headquarters first for interrogation. Also, who the hell are you?"
"My name is Wong. I am the librarian of Kamar Taj, and a Master of the Mystic Arts."
"Like a magician? You really surround yourself with weird people huh." Tony said as he turned to Ryan. The latter shrugged his shoulders and decided to help the Fantastic Four in this matter.
"These people didn't come here with an ulterior motive. Hell, they didn't even want to come here. They were just displaced by the circumstances. Not trusting them to not have an ulterior motive is the same as not trusting me in maths. So let me handle it first and get them settled in. You have a lot of time to judge them later."
Wong and Peggy sighed, but Tony turned to look at Susan who was pregnant. Pepper's figure instantly came into his mind, and his vigilance melted a bit as he thought what would happen if someone treated Pepper the same way he was treating the visitors there.
"(long sigh) Okay then. But they need to report to SHIELD headquarters after this for a briefing." Tony said defeatedly.
"Deal." Ryan agreed on behalf of the Fantastic Four.
"We still need to get them to Kamar Taj for checking. I will return them within the hour, so can I take them with me first?" Wong said. His action was the Kamar Taj standard procedure for dealing with unordinary circumstances. In the sanctums, demons couldn't hide. It was the best place for him to check on the Fantastic Four.
"We will go with you." Reed Richards interjected.
"Are you sure Reed?" Ryan asked again.
"Yeah. We didn't have anything to hide, nor did we have anything we wanted to achieve. But you promised us a home here without even knowing anything about us. If we need to pass the inspection to stay, then we will go through with it." Johnny said. Ben and Reed nodded as they talked about the matter before.
"All we ask for is you go easy on Susan." Ben asked. Wong nodded and made a circular motion with his hand.
Peggy stared closely at Johnny and became surprised. 'He looks like Steve. Is he…Steve's descendant from another universe?'
Wong finally opened the portal to the sanctum, causing Tony to rub his eyes in disbelief. "Is that real?"
Peggy replied, "Yeah. That is real." She saw that Wong was stepping over the portal and appeared in another place. He turned back and asked the Fantastic Four to walk through the portal.
"Reed. Is that?" Susan asked in a whisper as she clings on Reed's arm.
"No. It's not my portal. Also, my portal wasn't finished yet." Reed replied, gradually becoming more and more impressed by the universe he was thrown into.
"Hey, can I come with you?" Tony asked Wong, cranking his scanners to the highest levels. He thought that magic was a science he didn't understand yet, and he wanted to learn about it too.
Ryan's focus was on the other side of the portal. He saw a shaggy looking white man with a shaky hand peeking toward them from the Kamar Taj sanctum. 'Strange…is already in training? The bald ones work fast.'
It's been 2 months since Stephen Strange has gotten into a car accident. He had fallen into despair after he found out his hand already healed the wrong way, making him permanently crippled. He even tried to find Kai, but there was nothing Kai could do for him medically. He did point him toward Kamar Taj and his previous patient – the one who could stand back up using magic.
"Wong. If the Ancient one is there, can you ask her to give Tony the 'rollercoaster' ride too?" Ryan said with a sly smirk on his face.
"I will see what I can do." Wong bowed slightly at Ryan and closed the portal once Tony had crossed over to the other side.
"Is that a wise choice? Asking Tony to meet Grandma? He would get himself thrown out in seconds because of his big head." Gwen asked. She already met with the Ancient one before, and even watched a tv show together.
In less than 5 minutes, Tony was thrown out from the sanctum by the portal.
"Who the hell is the woman?" Tony said in dissatisfaction. "So I leaned on the cauldron of the cosmos, big deal. I could buy 1000 more of the china made cauldron." He said in dissatisfaction. Ryan rolled his eyes and waited a while more for the inspection to pass.
"I was kinda hoping he would get thrown out." Ryan said with a small chuckle. The Fantastic Four returned after half an hour with an awed look on their faces.
"Now. We need to take you to the State registration, and then you can go home. There is also the compensation from the Skrulls. Do you want me to tell you now?"
"We can wai-" Reed said, but was interjected by Johnny, "Compensation? How much?"
"After the currency exchange, you each received 1 billion dollars as your compensation." Ryan answered casually. Ben's eyes almost popped out of his socket and Johnny's jaw dropped.
"H-How much do you say we got again?" Johnny asked in a shaky voice.
"One billion each." Ryan answered with a soft smile. "I also bought a building for you to stay in. I will transfer the ownership to Susan Storm, unless you guys have any objection about the arrangement?"
"No. We don't have any objection." Reed and Ben replied. Johnny didn't even hear the question and kept muttering "I am a billionaire" to himself.
A flying car came by to pick up the Fantastic Four. Once they were in the air, they finally saw the cities and the new sight that was foreign to them. A spaceship fleet, flying cars, endless greenery, maglev interstate train, and more. All of the technology uses a zero carbon gas emission technology and the air was cleaner than before.
Ryan had completely transformed the country when he became the Vice President. The streets were now cleaner and crime was at an all time low. The people's happiness index was the highest in centuries once he was in charge.
"This place is wonderful." Susan said as they arrived at Washington DC. They even meet the President of the United States. The man was wonderful in his own marks, but Ryan's brilliance had outshined him completely.
But, President Ellis has never once been jealous of Ryan. He also knew that Ryan didn't want to enter politics and after he was gone, so will Ryan Knight. The fact saddened him sometimes and he wanted Ryan to run for President next election.
'If he didn't want to, Tim Knight would be the next best choice.' The President schemed inside his mind.
After the procedure had been completed, Ryan handed them the citizenship that he had signed by himself. "Welcome to the New Earth."
Ryan brought them to their new building. Reed, Ben and Johnny smiled wryly after seeing the building.
"This is the Baxter building right?" Susan asked with a chuckle. They thought that fate had played a trick on them.
"What is the Baxter building?" Ryan pretended not to know.
A short haired woman in a long skirt and white blouse walked toward them when they arrived.
"Mr. Knight. Are they the new owners of the building?" Jen Walter asked.
"Susan there is the owner. Group, meet Jen. Jen, meet the Fantastic Four." Ryan introduces them to each other. Johnny shook hands with Jen, but he thought she was just a plain ordinary lawyer.
A wasp flew around Jen, making her annoyed for the last time. The wasp had been bothering her for quite a while now.
"Piss off!" Jen transformed into the she-hulk without her clothes ripping off and clapped her hand together. A strong shockwave removed the wasp from the building, so did it remove a few windows.
"Jen. Calm down." Gwen said and patted Jen's head without fear. Johnny stared at the giant green woman in front of him, and his heart skipped a beat.
"Oh my mommy." Johnny let out unconsciously. He felt that his body was heating up after he met Jen. and then, his body caught on fire.
"Johnny!" Susan yelled in shock.
"Hey, I got my powers back!" Johnny said excitedly and started to float from the ground.
"Johnny, Go and announce the Fantastic Four's existence in this world." Ryan instigated and pointed to the sky. Johnny smirked and flew upward. Then, he created the Fantastic Four logo above the Baxter building.
"The Fantastic Four is here baby!!!" Johnny yelled in excitement after finishing his artwork.
