Once again passing through the portal, Ben cast a brief glance at The Living Tribunal, who was looking all over the Universes.
In Universe 54, a fierce battle unfolded.between the Avengers and Mutants. On this particular Earth, mutants found themselves scorned and hunted.
Here, superheroes bore unfamiliar burdens. Tony Stark, the brilliant inventor, grappled with his own suit, slowly succumbing to a virus that threatened to consume him.
The Hulk, which was usually a good guy, but here he was a mad guy. And he always directed his rage towards mutants. Even forgotten about his own human form
Among the combatants, Red Blade was a silent and cold-blooded killer, moving with lethal precision.
In stark contrast, Captain America merely adhered to orders, a deviation from the familiar beacon of morality.
Susan Storm, once a pillar of the Fantastic Four, had taken a dark turn, betraying her own family.
Within the conflict of Universe 54, the Fantastic Four found themselves in the precarious position of defending mutants. However, tragedy struck when one mutant succumbed to insanity, leading to the unthinkable: the death of Susan's child. The loss triggered a visceral anger within Susan Storm, casting a dark shadow over her allegiance.
Amidst this chaotic landscape, the so-called superheroes who should be protectors had become hunters of mutants. The discord among them, their inability to function as a cohesive team, only intensified the already chaotic situation.
In an attempt to bring order to the chaos, they convened a meeting with General Castle, the authority overseeing their operations.
The atmosphere in the room was tense as they grappled with the moral complexities of their mission.
"Alright, now we must eliminate all the mutants in a single assault," General Castle declared. He pointed to the map, revealing the strategic importance of Magneto's Fortress X—a sanctuary for mutants located amidst 20 New York buildings in Antarctica.
"I'm at your command, sir," Captain America dutifully agrees.
Upon reaching Fortress X, Tony Stark swiftly reports, "General, we've located Fortress X."
"Alright, now use Code Omega," General Castle commands. Code Omega—an order to deploy a two-megaton chemical bomb designed to eradicate all mutants within its reach.
The revelation of the lethal plan sparks shock and reluctance among the team. Susan Storm, visibly disturbed, questions the morality of such a drastic measure. "How can we use a chemical bomb?"
Hulk, fueled by his unpredictable rage, dismisses Susan with a callous remark, "You pathetic woman, get out of my way." Strapped with the bomb, he moves forward.
Susan, insisting on standing against this catastrophic decision, summoned a protective shield to block the path to Fortress X.
The mutants within the sanctuary watch in fear as Hulk, consumed by anger, pounds against her shield. Simultaneously, Iron Man adds to the onslaught, firing his weapons in a futile attempt to breach Susan's defense. The air is charged with tension as the clash unfolds, the fate of Fortress X hanging in the balance.
Captain America and Red Blade, driven by their allegiance, join the onslaught against Susan's shield. Overwhelmed, she struggles to fend off their combined assault, her protective barrier starts cracking, and soon it is shattered.
And just after her shield shatters, Susan starts losing her hope. But at this critical juncture portal materializes on Earth 54, and Ben emerges from it. Surveying the chaotic scene before him, he couldn't help but thought, why he was continuously landing on the Earth, which was filled with disasters.
First he landed on an Earth, which was ravaged by radiation and infested with zombies. Then the next Earth, ruled by vampires, and like that, he visited many Earths, where the situation was bad.
And again on this Earth, the Avengers were ready to strike the mutants. Ben's gaze fell upon the tearful eyes of the mutants. His heart ached at the sight of their suffering.
It was then that Captain America, the leader of the Avengers, stepped forward, questioning Ben's sudden appearance, "Who are you? Why have you come here?"
Tony Stark, Red Blade, the Hulk, Susan, and numerous mutants fixed their gazes on the newcomer, awaiting the explanation.
"I am Ben Tennyson," Ben shouted, "And, I came to solve the problem so that you all don't become mindless hunters." With a touch of his hand, using his Upgrade alien powers, he made contact with Ironman, who immediately realized he had lost control of his suit.
"What are you doing?" Tony Stark questioned with a fearful voice.
"Nothing, just helping you," Ben calmly replied as he rendered the suit useless. Then using his Swampfire Alien power, Ben directed a healing touch towards Tony, eliminating the virus that had plagued him.
As the cure took effect, Tony's mind stabilized, and he gradually fell into a peaceful sleep.
"I will stop you!" Captain America and Red Blade shouted in unison, launching their weapons, shield and sword towards Ben.
"You also need some rest," Ben said with a confident smile, knocking both Captain America and Red Blade unconscious with a single punch.
The once formidable superhero, now lay defeated, and an uneasy calm settled over the battleground.
"Hulk will smash you, puny human!" Hulk shouted, and went to fight Ben.
Ben used the power of Humangaaour and started fighting back. But still, both were fighting equally.
Seeing this, Ben used the powers of the Pesky Dust alien powers, and unleashed the force that gradually put the Hulk into a deep slumber.
Utilizing these same powers, Ben entered the dreams of Hulk, Captain America, Red Blade, and others, and started soothing their disturbed minds. In doing so, he averted the clash between heroes and mutants, becoming the unexpected savior.
As the once frenzied battlefield transformed into a scene of serene repose, everyone present marveled at Ben's prowess.
They gazed upon him with a mix of gratitude and admiration.
However, before anyone could express their thanks to him, Ben with a hint of weariness, muttered, "I hope the next one is better." And then, using the Space Clock powers, he opened a portal to an unknown Earth, leaving the onlookers to ponder where he goes.
As the Hulk stirred from his slumber, something remarkable unfolded, his transformation into human form for the first time since the accident. Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, and Red Blade awoke with tears in their eyes. The cruelty they had unwittingly unleashed became painfully apparent.
In the aftermath, the once-hostile factions found common ground, recognizing the need for unity in the face of a shared future.
All conflicts were set aside as the disparate heroes and mutants joined forces, their collective goal now focused on defeating General Frank Castle and forging a better world for generations to come.
Expressing their gratitude, the group turned towards where Ben had gone. They acknowledged his role in saving them from the clutches of mindless rage, walking together towards an unknown future, united in purpose.
With newfound determination, they faced the challenge ahead. General Frank Castle, once the orchestrator of destruction, now stood as the final obstacle to their vision of a harmonious world.
...…..
A portal opened on Universe 606, and Ben stepped into Midtown. He surveyed the surroundings, and finally sighed with relief.
Here, on this Earth, the signs of destruction were absent, so he realized he can now stay here.
The portal closed behind him, and he, using his Diamondhead powers, created a few diamonds to get the currency here.
Following a familiar routine from Universe 613, Ben bought a luxurious villa for himself.
And using his Upgrade powers, Ben created the TV which will give him an update of everything. And he also added the Super Ultron AI in this.
Now with the Super Ultron AI program, Ben can easily navigate through world events. The AI could itself gather all of the data in the world and show it to Ben.
Ben started looking over all of the secrets of Universe 606. Here, the Avengers and mutants coexisted harmoniously. There were many superheroes and supervillains in Earth 606.
As Ben was ready to experience the world through his Ultron TV, he missed the company of his wives. And thought, he needs to make some wife for him.
And also to maintain a balance between, he set a rule for himself. He would refrain from direct involvement in fighting unless faced with significant dangers. For now, he will only view the dangers by Ultron TV, instead of getting involved.
"Super Ultron, turn on some live action footage," Ben commanded, Super Ultron responded immediately, projecting a live event onto the screen.
In the midst of the cityscape, a humming sound came, and showed a mysterious figure arriving on a sleek bike. As the bike descended from above, its rider was none other than the star of the city, Spider-Man.
