Scarlet drops fell from the tip of the blade piercing Loki, his elegant emerald-colored clothing absorbing large amounts of blood, turning darker.
Loki seemed to age two hundred years in an instant, growing pale. Due to shock, he was nearly unconscious, but his frustration brought him back.
"W-WHY?!!" shouted Loki as he coughed up blood.
"I admire your tenacity and the fact that you don't beg for your life, but as I said, I've seen enough..."
The mysterious man with the deepest voice Allen had ever heard spoke calmly and somewhat indifferently. He wasn't trying to ridicule Loki; it was a calm indifference as if explaining that this was inevitable.
"T-This wasn't t-the deal!"
Loki managed to protest despite his grave condition; after all, he's called a god for a reason, even impaled, he won't die easily.
"I thought you were smarter than this, god of lies..." he said with a hint of disappointment. "The Infinity Stones are something very valuable, so much so that I wouldn't let you have them without being prepared to take them back."
"..." Allen frowned. He had let the conversation continue to gather information. Now he knew the mysterious man was behind the scenes.
Allen looked at Loki. It seemed he had played a very dangerous game, one where he tried to deceive the puppeteer. But it was a very dangerous game, and the consequences of his bet were unfolding now.
Loki smirked mockingly. "Damn, y-you... You will never be a god!!"
Loki looked at Allen one last time and smiled faintly "I'm sorry this bastard got in the way."
"..." The man didn't reply, he simply lowered his blade, dropping Loki.
During the fight, Allen had moved to the outskirts of New York, so Loki would fall into a wooded area.
The man grabbed the scepter and the Tesseract. At that moment, Allen appeared, emitting a murderous intent. He had no idea who the man inside the turbulent portal covered in blue haze was, but his instincts told him he was very dangerous, his heart screamed not to let him go, and his soul sensed he was a monster who should never possess the so-called Infinity Stones.
Time seemed to slow down. The man smiled amusedly; the bright cube that was the Tesseract cracked as the monster's hand tightened.
The cube shattered, revealing a blue stone before Allen's eyes. Behind the mist, a humanoid of great size, on the level of Hulk but purple, smiled as if watching a play.
"The Infinity Stones are the embodiment of the dominant aspects of the universe..."
He held the Space Stone in his hand and squeezed; blue energy radiated in all directions.
In the universe, some things cannot be manipulated; all of them exist in a dance between entropy and the unknown. However, Allen could perceive how one of those aspects was being controlled and taken out of its natural state.
"Using the Stones is a completely insane act..."
Allen opened his eyes as space itself began to crack, reminding him of Whitebeard's attack from One Piece but on a much larger scale, capable of destroying not just the Earth but the entire solar system.
Compared to Loki, the power this monster could wield with the Stones was thousands, if not tens of thousands, of times greater.
But!
"I guess that makes you the craziest guy in the universe..." Allen responded coldly.
Even as the fabric of space around him collapsed in layers, he remained unaffected because at this moment, as the god of destruction, he was impervious to this level of power.
The man smiled...
Faced with Allen's overwhelming, unlimited power, he didn't seem surprised either.
"It's not time yet..." he said before starting to disappear.
Allen extended his hand through the collapsing space, akin to reaching into a blender, yet he remained unharmed while the world trembled.
"This is a beautiful planet, but small and fragile..."
Allen was annoyed; this bastard knew perfectly well that Allen couldn't fight with so much power at this moment. This wasn't like Dragon Ball; power at Allen's level would destroy everything.
Allen used his ki to push away the haze surrounding the man; their violet eyes met.
"I will remember that face..." Allen said with disdain.
"Don't worry... the time will come when my crusade will lead me to you... Allen Walker."
"Who are you?!" Allen asked without expecting an answer.
"As a sign of respect to such a powerful being as yourself, I'll tell you—I am Thanos... though I'm usually called the Mad Titan."
"The nickname suits you..."
The portal closed as Allen kept his gaze on the giant purple figure until the end.
Thanos took both Infinity Stones and also managed to gather much information about Earth, especially about Allen.
Loki was just a pawn, a means to learn more about this world...
Allen remained silent, looking at the horizon, even if it was frustrating to accept it, it was a total defeat. Unexpectedly an intellectual defeat was more unpleasant than a loss in a fight.
Allen cursed as he disappeared from where he was, there were more things to do and he didn't even have time to regret it, he'd hit Thanos back later.
...
(Tokyo, Japan)
Captain Marvel looked at the sky; after the first attack, two more came, but she managed to prevent any damage.
"But I couldn't fully block the first one."
Carol looked down at the ground, where there was a huge hole a mile wide that appeared to have been incinerated by a large laser.
She arrived so quickly that she didn't even have clothes, but thanks to her powers, her Captain Marvel suit appeared. Carol sighed, part of the job is understanding and accepting that they're not gods and can't save everyone.
"You did well, Carol," Allen said beside her.
"Thank you..." Carol responded with a smile, then blushed realizing who was beside her, but that embarrassment turned into anger when she remembered how she got to Tokyo.
Allen noticed Carol's gaze and smiled, winking at her before disappearing, leaving Carol red with anger.
"Wait, you little pervert!" the beautiful blonde shouted, but it was too late, and Allen was gone.
The portal in the sky of Tokyo was destroyed.
...
Allen arrived in Hong Kong while complaining "These portals should have been closed, but that bastard Thanos left them open so I couldn't follow him."
Allen destroyed the portal, or rather, he destroyed the machine created by the mixture of Loki's illusions and the power of the Mind Stone. The sky ceased to be emerald and the hole began to close.
Allen appeared where Diana floated, beside whom there was a mountain of Chitauri corpses. Diana greeted him with a warm smile but then approached and hugged him.
Allen smiled, realizing he couldn't hide anything from Diana's perception.
"What happened?" Diana asked with a serious look as she held Allen's cheeks.
"I'll tell you on the way," said Allen, regaining some of his good humor.
Allen took Diana by the waist and disappeared; he wanted to close all the portals as soon as possible.
In Delhi, Thor was surrounded by lightning. Allen appeared and remotely destroyed the machine, then looked at Thor. Thor remained silent for a moment.
"Is he dead?"
Thor asked, hardening his heart. Regardless of Allen's answer, he wouldn't blame him, and he was sure his father wouldn't either. Loki had already been given a second chance, and it had been too much leniency.
Allen proceeded to give Thor a quick explanation.
As they finished, a thunderous roar echoed in the sky. Thor was furious with Thanos, with Loki for allowing himself to be manipulated, and most of all, with himself for not preventing this tragedy and stopping his brother.
Allen took Diana by the waist to move to the next portal.
"Is it okay to leave him like this?" Diana asked, seeing Thor in a state of anger and sadness.
"Let's give him space," Allen said, shaking his head. He didn't have siblings, but he knew what it was like to lose family, so he understood that Thor needed space right now.
...
In Moscow, Allen arrived to witness a surreal scene: Hulk was in a square surrounded by people congratulating him and offering him food.
"Hulk be happy!" the big guy said as Allen approached where Hulk was feasting on everything offered to him.
Hulk had wiped out all enemies in a fit of rage, and although he had destroyed some buildings, people didn't blame him. Instead, they threw a party to celebrate the successful defense against the alien invasion.
Allen shook his head; Hulk's portal was still open, but not a single Chitauri was coming out of it. They must have feared an angry Hulk, 'smart move,' thought Allen.
Allen decided to let Hulk enjoy the hero treatment a little longer and flew up to join Diana.
Diana smiled, holding Allen's hand and intertwining their fingers. There was never a bad time to spend quality time with a beautiful lady.
Later, Diana and Allen went to Paris, where Donna and Starfire were. Both girls were still having fun defeating Chitauri with the help of the French army.
Donna stood on a building, watching as the Chitauri resistance was merely superficial. They had already surrendered, knowing the invasion had failed.
Donna's eyes widened when she saw Allen; she flew at great speed to tackle him. "Master!"
Donna hugged Allen like a koala. The girl had no qualms about pressing her body against him for attention. Allen smiled wryly, if he were a regular human, being tackled by an Amazon-like Donna would have been deadly.
Allen stroked Donna's head as she smiled with satisfaction. Starfire watched this with a trace of envy but didn't dare to mention it.
"Allen, are you done?" Starfire asked, floating closer. The girls had managed to keep damage to Paris to a minimum, which was incredible. Of course, not everything was saved; the Eiffel Tower was toppled.
Allen looked in a specific direction, specifically at Notre Dame Cathedral, where the portal generator was hidden. With a gesture of his hand, the machine was destroyed, and the portal began to close.
Donna still clung to Allen, breathing heavily. Normally, Diana would have been annoyed by this, but this time Donna had worked hard, so she allowed it.
Of course, Diana didn't oppose Donna's feelings, as it may seem, but the girl is extreme in her actions and vulgar, so Diana as her teacher feels disappointed and responsible for seeing her student act like a pervert.
Allen smiled apologetically at Diana, agreeing to allow these acts.
...
With Tony in Brazil, things were simple; there was only a colossal invading ship. Tony infiltrated it and managed to take control.
The simplest option would have been to shoot it down, but if that thing fell to Earth, it would cause as much damage as a nuclear bomb.
"Walker, do you have any idea how troublesome this was?!" Tony grabbed Allen by the collar.
Allen knew Tony was the right person to handle a colossal ship; others like Thor or Hulk would have simply destroyed it, and by the time they realized the consequences, it could be too late.
"Sorry haha," Allen chuckled in response, taking it lightly, but Donna was upset and punched Iron Man.
Iron Man crashed to the ground; after a few seconds, Tony clumsily got up.
"Bastard! How dare you assault my master?!" Donna started acting like a gangster, raising her middle finger. "I'm going to ****, you *****."
This time, Diana frowned and coughed; Donna shivered and hid behind Allen, but she had a complaint she couldn't keep quiet.
Donna pouted, "Do I have to endure this guy bothering my master?!"
Diana didn't respond and looked at Allen. She didn't do the same because she understood that Allen and Tony were friends, and this kind of thing is normal among men. But in Donna's eyes, who had never seen them argue, it would be as if Allen were being assaulted.
After this, Tony decided to stay; he needed to get this ship into orbit.
...
"I'm back..." said a woman's voice pleasing to the ear with a noble and calm tone.
Artoria appeared at Allen's side, so he wouldn't have to go to London, after all, she had already destroyed the machine and closed the portal.
Allen thanked Artoria and she nodded, if it wasn't for the system he would never have suspected that this woman loved him.
Artoria seemed in a good mood after visiting her homeland.
Allen laughed at his strange relationship with Artoria but quickly turned his attention to the next place.
Donna embraced Allen by hanging onto his neck, while Diana and an embarrassed Starfire grabbed Allen's right and left hands.
Allen proceeded to teleport with them.
He could open a door anywhere he wanted with the system...yes, why didn't he, the answer answers itself.
...
Allen went to Mexico to pick up Kara and Raven, but upon arrival, he found Kara being praised by many people and smiling. She had always felt inferior compared to Clark.
It's her fault because instead of going to another of the many cities in her world, she insisted on competing for popularity with the most famous and beloved superhero in her world.
Batman wasn't even known until recently, and Flash is close but doesn't reach Superman's popularity, of course, this could be due to his personality, which is often humorous.
In contrast to Kara, who flew overhead, greeting people cheering for her to save them, Raven was surrounded by a dark aura, as if she were about to kill someone.
Allen checked the system recordings and realized why this happened: Raven was the true heroine. Kara had focused on hitting everything that flew and knocking down anything alien, but if it hadn't been for Raven preventing all the ships from falling on the population, this would have ended in tragedy.
Allen approached Raven and placed his hand on her shoulder, surprising her.
"Allen?" Raven blushed. The morning incident was still on her mind, but because of Loki, there was no conclusion.
"Thank you for everything, Raven; I'll deal with Kara later."
Raven visibly relaxed and shook her head, then covered her face with her hood so Allen wouldn't see her blushing cheeks. She didn't care about fame, but Kara was acting very unpleasantly, and knowing Allen would scold her made Raven satisfied. Combined with the sweet feelings she felt at this moment, she made a happy smile.
Allen opened his eyes to see this; it was very rare to see Raven smile like that, so it took him by surprise.
"I already knew, but your smile is also beautiful."
"What?!" Raven almost lost control of her magic and fell from the sky upon hearing Allen's words of soul "Don't say such embarrassing things, womanizer!"
Allen chuckled in response, angering Raven. The girls watching this had narrowed their eyes at Raven; it seemed she didn't escape Allen's clutches either.
...
All fierce incidents were resolved, and Allen returned to his apartment with many women at his side.
Rebecca sat on the kitchen counter with her arms crossed; this caught Allen's attention. "Master, we need to talk about our rewards!"
"Rewards?"
Allen was confused, but then thinking better, perhaps giving them something for helping wasn't a bad idea.
Several women wanted to deny it, but Rebecca's next words made everyone fall into a terrifying silence.
"I think every woman in this place deserves you to fulfill a whim, right?"
All eyes turned to Allen, waiting for his response; needless to say, the imagination of all the women flew back and forth to Mars after hearing they could ask Allen for a whim.
"You're right."
Upon hearing Allen's response, many girls swallowed nervously. Even some who refused to accept their feelings like Kara and Raven.
Allen noticed the atmosphere and turned to everyone with a cheeky smile, "What's wrong, do you want something inappropriate?"
Allen was able to see how many girls turned red upon hearing it, and others hid their faces.
'Wait, really?!'
[My condolences]
