[Badger Paul]
"Let's see, which one here can be useful?" Paul's badger clone sat by the Gym acting like the eyes looking at him and cameras observing him are not present at all. But he did not care as he knew that they have no idea of where he really is, only Fury might have an idea that he has some sort of clones to appear in the public.
He can see that the black pirate wanted to ask how and why but maybe Paul's intimidation had worked pretty well. No signs of trouble ever came to the various charities he had built all over the globe and many were already inviting him for events wanting to give him some medal or something but he did not answer.
Now all most people would find with him is his figure sitting in the open drinking tea and reading books on the roof garden of his building. He had hired many talented individuals to handle the charities and let himself sit back and spend millions for no reason.
"Okay, spear arts of the Tiger clan…nope"
"Death annihilation sword technique…hmmm… overly dramatic name but also overly useless for me…"
"69 positions of heavenly dual cultivations technique…hmmm, interesting… but nope."
"Buddha palm techniques…must be celibate to practice… nuh uh…"
"Great Immolation bodily fire technique… it's just making your body burn, not needed…"
"Hundred miles arrow….might be useful…"
"Mist walking… sneaky techniques…"
"Star Sea rain… nah…"
"Swallow Feather Slice…not interested."
"Dragon's Roar? This seems cool. I'll read it."
"Thunder Bagua strike? Seems generic…"
"Phoenix Fire purgatory… good for fireshows…"
"Monkey-steals-peach… hmmm, this shall be sealed and hidden forever. Too dangerous."
"Pine-heart mantra… cool, this is good for calming things down."
"Verdant wind blade dance… a woman's art? Okay… so nope."
"Giant's Descent? Ooh, this seems cool. A way to increase body size by will eh? So this was the technique those muscle heads used when they tried to corner me, they became like 20 meters tall too and stronger. Oh here's a warning, can increase overall strength but cannot be used indefinitely since it'll break the body if used too long… huh.
Seems this is really made for me, tailor designed even haha! Maybe I could go Kaiju on Thanos if he comes by later, oohh up to five times the size eh and can only be practice by humans. Aww… I really thought I could use my clones to go transform into semi humanoid beast then go titan sized for once. Maybe I was too hopeful."
Paul sat there and browsed more of the various martial techniques in his collection as well as auxiliary techniques.
[Troll World]
"How did I ever miss this?"
Paul was looking at the computer screen as he watched the various high tech underground groups within the world. He found an ancient Assassin organization also operating worldwide, this was because he found someone has placed a 20 million bounty on his head.
It was not exactly him per se but more like his digital footprints he forgot to erase when he was hacking his way in many government secrets as well as those of private sectors.
No one knew his face but they followed a trail and somehow found their way to a shell company he opened to gather resources for his experimentation. And in some coincidental fashion, he was present there inspecting the files and reports of his employees.
Now after an hour of trying to not show over exaggerated powers, he fought like a normal man using guns but he was able to eliminate about twenty different groups attacking him with no scratch at him at all.
Telepathic is a real cheat if they can't see where to shoot, but it did make Paul realize some had special equipment like bullet proof jackets and nifty small grenades the size of a thumb.
It was then he realized that somehow the world of John Wick was also in this Earth. Paul then followed their bread crumbs and found out about the secret organization.
It was easy to miss since they all don't leave any digital footprint at all as their tech is very old school and was always coded in their own lingo. So he as always peeked a bit and learned more so he realized he was ordered a hit by many criminal families that got some accounts of theirs hacked and stolen from by Paul.
"Well shit, this world is getting more confusing by the minute as I find more things hidden here." Paul then went back to placate his employees and made arrangements for them to be compensated and moved to another building he just bought.
Also did extensive research and contacted some guns for hire that they will be tasked for the security of his employees. He then found out that John Wick is currently recently married thus made a decision that made his trails vanish as he did not go with the new whereabouts of his company.
He knew he could not hide them but he might as well make sure they are safe so he pulled out one Robot that was designed to act as human as possible even if Paul had not perfected the programming yet.
This was one of the first ever unique bots he made that has its own thought matrix and special build that it could process food and use a complicated process of producing its own biofuel that'll help it work.
But since he has not made much advances in micro-engineering then the appearance of the robot was a 6'6" tall fat robot. But it did make it easier for him to make it look like a very fat businessman.
Only three had been made even with all the materials he has found so he had chosen to bring one with him when he sent the three clones to survey. In the end Paul bought the property nearby John Wick's and his wife so he could monitor the couple living there.
Won't it be a pity if he let John Wick follow his future path so Paul thought that he should help and maybe try to recruit the fellow. But he'll need a reason and compelling reward for him to possibly be brought out of this world.
He does not plan to stay for long once he gets all the useful things he can here, since he already bought the mining rights in the Norwegian Mountains where the Troll King might have been slumbering.
Paul will check it out later and try to see if he could slowly subjugate the Troll King and the supposed to be child of his that he is protecting there.
The recipes for potions of the ancient Tagu-atu people were also being deciphered by Paul and now searched for the materials needed to make it.
So now he laid in silence in this quiet world where everything is up for him to grab.
(A/N: Since there are many Wolf puppets/clones, I'll assign a nickname so it would be understandable which puppet/clone I am referring to.)
[Wolf Clone no. 3]
Paul now chose another world where he cannot determine which as it just looked like a blue planet with no land in sight. He thought this might be an alien movie plot and wanted to see if he could get some alien tech.
He plans to leave only one in the outside of the void of bubbles, now this clone was focusing on getting in as he went in.
And as soon as he appeared he was falling from the sky but that was easily circumvented with him slowing down his decent and started to walk on water.
It was then he was stunned since the air was breathable atmosphere making him look around but all he saw was water everywhere. It was when a fish swam under him that he brought his attention to the sea and it made him frown since the fishes here were all normal Earth fish.
Paul stood still and used his telekinetic powers and telepathy in tandem in searching and identifying what is happening. He was quiet but as soon as he used his powers a flood of thoughts went inside his head as he saw images of Earth.
But this Earth has befallen with a disaster like no other, comets flew over and hit the moon partially destroying it thus caused a sudden shift in the planet's magnetic field as well as making it rain down water and debris.
This went on for the next 70 years and slowly and gradually the world flooded, many event happened after that and Paul was able to see what is happening all over the world after four hours of standing there.
"I see, this is Earth." Paul said as he looked down and saw the ruins of the old civilization.
"So this is what will happen if all the polar caps melt. Maybe I should take a video of this and show this to Fury saying this will be the future if global warming is to be let rampant." Paul then took out three different cameras and had it all float besides him.
He floated and observed as he tried to make heads of where he is and if the strange consciousness he found seeping within every part of the sea. This was like the whole body of water was one large brain connected to one another and was centered within south east of his direction.
Slowly and quietly he observed this connection and followed it to the source. It was then he got the sense he is above what was Japan and felt the familiar terrain even if it was all underwater.
It was then his mind connected to a thought which he latched on stealthily and wanted to see through its eyes. And it was then he saw a small boat being rocked in the waves as tentacles probed it to see if there is anything inside.
But Paul realized that the boat was not small, it was that the owner of the body was very large. Paul followed where it was and found himself in waters were something large was swimming under the water.
"This… is really interesting." Paul saw large mutated fish swim around while a larger one scratched the boat and left. It was nighttime but for Paul it was as bright as day, he did not reveal himself yet as he saw the family of three inside waiting in silence.
"Sorry for my intrusion…" Paul said as he found the first humans ever in this wide world, he cannot measure accurately or differentiate yet the difference of an animal and human using his telepathy very far away while using a clone.
So he did not know if the mental signatures he found were human or fish since it was very mixed in many ways and the 'mind' within the sea seemed to be disturbing his search.
Soon he found out more about the world and that there are currently humans existing in this world of water. They are living in hardships as Sea monsters now exist in this world and the so called 'Harpoonist' were the people that fought for the survival of humanity.
Also Paul found out the back story of this guy who seemed to have been quite a bigshot on his last place. It was a large aircraft carrier connected to two large cargo ships and made into a large floating city.
There were other places like this namely Port Oasis built upon the ruins of Union Hong Kong, New York Floating City, Union Notre Dame and the home of this guy named Teon Ma, the Union Busan.
There exist other places of interest like the Trading ports, other survivalist concrete Islands and some refugee groups that barely survived in the sea finding valuable things to have a chance to be accepted in the large shelters.
"Damn, this world even in its last breath people are still assh*les." Paul also saw the various rich people still enjoying life and lived lavishly while other people suffered in the iron hands of other Harpoonist.
Typical elitism and dividing of resources, Paul felt that he should not interfere in this world as he just watched the family in the ship while he digest the information. His eyes wandered to the sword being carried by this Teon Ma.
He was curious at the way the mechanism worked and thus scanned it slowly with his mind. He slowly understood the intricacies of the sword and it made him raise his brows.
"This is great ingenuity, they all lack forms of fuel and energy so they used the other readily available resource, Air. These Gas canister design could be very useful and I might be able to make more weapons using this tech." Paul wondered as he floated silently in the cabin where the dad was sleeping with his children.
But Paul could feel the guy was still alert and was watching over the surroundings. Thinking for a bit he placed a mental mark on the guy and went too where the normal route of this Union Busan to see the floating fortress.
Searching a bit and focusing his mental powers he found the ship after a few minutes. Teleporting there he appeared silently in the crowd without anyone noticing but suddenly he paused as he looked towards a curious girl watching an old man play violin.
The girl did not notice but everything she is was bared naked by Paul as he saw what she really is. Now he understood as this was the very being that was ever present within the whole sea.
Something even the humans were not aware of, but Paul did not take action since the being was just curious. Still he peeked in and saw all her memories, everything from her arrival and even her plan to send more seeds in the near future.
What her species is and how they propagate, how her virus had infected every aquatic being in the planet and even the humans. The virus itself is not harmful but it does cause some to gain this so called 'Fish Fever'.
But Paul already knew it came from a strange object Teon Ma's wife found in the ocean. Paul understood that those were seeds and would release virus overtime, it killed the guy's wife as well as the members of the expedition.
He was here since he knew already the dark decision of the rich here of weeding out the refugees and thus killing a lot of them for 'quarantine' reasons.
'*Sigh* this is much more drama than the Skull Island dispute.' Paul thought until his search led to the part of the Queen being affected by the dying will of Narisa, Teon Ma's wife.
'What a loving mother, even in death she cared for her children so much it influenced a cold-blooded alien into getting curious about humanity.' Paul felt that maybe he should just be an observer here so he wandered about and found the oppression done by the Harpoonist of this ship.
But from what he can find they were all not even two stars as they don't even dare fight the monsters outside. Harpoonist tattoos are distinguished with stars, every star meant a hundred monsters killed.
Even Paul was amazed at the resilience of humans here for daring to fight stronger beast in a disadvantageous fight in the water. It was then he arrived into a laboratory almost similar to a mad scientist with all the gory parts.
There he found an old man with crazy eyes and seemed obsessed with the makings of Sea monsters, especially Leviathans. Special monsters earning a name that they are called the "Seven Devils of the Sea".
Poetic but Paul did not care as he went to copy his knowledge of making the various weapons here. He also found the location of the other safe havens thus did not linger for long as he went to the other places to look for their eggheads.
It wasn't until he arrived in Port Oasis that he stopped, there he found no smart brains to plunder as it was peaceful. Too peaceful for a world in constant danger, Paul frowned as he spread his power to scan for something strange and he did.
Deep within the place called Port Oasis was the ruins of the former Union Hong Kong and the special bunker inside had been laid to waste as it had become the nest of one of the 'Seven Devils'.
Or should Paul say two, since this was a couple of leviathans. A male and a female, namely the one people here called Genod. Paul descended and looked at the large nest where various mutants wearing divers suit slept in the dark.
"This is yucky as heck man… should I kill them all? But wait, how come the people here don't know what is happening below them?" Paul frowned as he wondered but then his senses picked up something.
He found out about three current survivors here, an Old man and two kids not even three or two years old. Paul went towards them as he peered inside the mind of the old man and understood that they were the remnants of the former Union Hong Kong.
Only these three remained as Paul saw how the monster slowly baited them one by one luring them using the supplies that were meant for them.
This made Paul frown but something tells him that these three will survive even without his help so he went to investigate first how this so called Port Oasis appeared as the most peaceful part of the sea.
Paul surface in a second and went to the highest place, normally of anyone knows what is happening then it would be the leader. And he was right, the guy indeed knew what was happening and was doing it for years to keep up the façade of a peaceful society.
'This f*cker really makes me want to hurl but let's approach this first with care…hmmm!?" Paul immediately looked at Teon Ma's direction and teleported there immediately but what greeted him was the sight of the guy going to press the warhead on a large creatures face while he was still in its mouth.
Paul focused instantly brainstorming trying to take in the how it came to this, but he now has to make a decision. He quickly telekinetically control the warhead as he pulled Teon Ma away by teleporting him as well as cloaking him towards Port Oasis thus leaving an explosion that killed the large beast.
But Paul did not care for that as he saw the guy's body was all banged up and might need immediate medical attention. But Paul knew that what his guy needed is two Kidneys, Liver, left lungs and lots of blood as he was almost ripped to pieces by the fight.
Paul had blood as well as pills that could help in regeneration but that would take time and time is not what this guy has. He needs medical equipment that would ensure to preserve the body of the guy and there was no place he went to that has anything so advance like that.
Even that mad doctor does not have equipment to save this guy so Paul went to where Union Hong Kong was and used his telepathic powers to make the two large things here sleep as well as their children as he scoured the various boxes for blood packs.
Then he went to the ruined medical bay but Paul cleared an area away then pulled apart the various equipment there to reassemble and repair quickly. If this was his main body then he could have held the body of the guy then heal him with a pill with his guidance but this was a clone where some techniques he has cannot be passed down.
Demonic beast had very different physiques that Paul cannot do some things with them. Only his teleportation and mental powers could be used with it and it was not so strong with the clones.
But Paul went ahead and performed a quick surgery taking out the debris in the wounds and plugged in the equipment with a portable nuclear generator of Paul to give it power.
He did this in the far side of the shelter so the three inhabitants wouldn't know he was here. He then used everything from telekinesis to perform micro-surgeries trying to save what's left of his left Lung and closing it.
Then he pulled in a dialysis machine to act as kidneys and his liver for now for the guy, next Paul went to see if he could find something within the knowledge he has to possibly save the man. His mind can hold on for days but Paul cannot use the pills he has because the guy has a normal body.
The only pills he has that could regrow lost organs as well as heal the person were not appropriate for mortals as they would burst of the effects. Paul cannot be sure but still he felt maybe he could dial it down.
Getting a small drop of water he made it float in front of him and then a bottle appeared in front of him also. Paul took out one bright red Pill with cloud patterns, looking at the pill Paul took a deep breath and made a small part of it separate then placed it in the floating water.
Paul purified it just before but slowly the water turned into a thick bloody liquid after the small art of the pill dissolved in the water.
"This is going to hurt dude…"
