Javier Sánchez's Rise to Dominance: Conquering Hell and the Marvel Universe

The Path to Power

The transformation that had begun in the depths of Hell wasn't merely physical—it was mental and spiritual, too. Javier Sánchez's mind, broken and remade in the furnace of eternal suffering, emerged as something far more calculating, ruthless, and driven by a singular ambition: power. Hell had bent him, tortured him, and reshaped his very essence. But it had also awakened something within him—a cold, unyielding drive to conquer, to dominate, to never be weak again.

His body, forged in the fire and the darkness, was now a vessel of unimaginable power. The wings, the dark armor-like skin, the new bones, and the strength of his form were nothing compared to the true gift that he had acquired—the Glitch Powers. With them, Javier had become something far beyond mortal comprehension. It wasn't just about physical transformation; it was about bending reality itself, rewriting his own existence like a program in a computer.

For the first time in his life, Javier felt truly free. No longer bound by human limitations, he had the power to reshape the world around him. He could phase through solid matter with ease, move at impossible speeds, manipulate his own body like code, and break the very fabric of space and time. But he knew that power alone wasn't enough to satisfy him. To truly rise above everything, to ascend to the highest echelons of power, he needed followers. And for that, he would need to conquer the most dangerous beings in existence.

The First Conquest: The Demons

Javier's first taste of real power came in the form of the demons that roamed Hell. In the beginning, he didn't fully understand the depth of his abilities. His body had been reborn, but his mind still grappled with the shock of transformation. However, as the years passed, he began to experiment with his Glitch Powers.

Javier's Self-Talk in the Darkness:

"I am no longer human. No longer bound by mortal chains. But what is power if it cannot be controlled? I will bend them, bend everything, to my will. The demons, the gods... all of them. They will learn to fear me. I will become their master, and they will serve me."

Using his Absolute Access ability, Javier phased through the walls of his infernal prison, slipping past the demon guards with a grace that seemed almost impossible. He knew that brute force wasn't always the answer—strategy, subtlety, and control were far more effective.

The First Demon Confrontation:

He found his first demon target deep within the heart of Hell. The demon was massive, its dark wings fluttering with malicious intent, and its claws sharp enough to tear through flesh with ease. It roared as it spotted Javier, but he was already one step ahead.

Javier's POV:

"This one will not be easy to control. But power isn't just about brute strength—it's about manipulation, timing, and patience. This demon will fall, not because I have more strength, but because I will show it the futility of its resistance."

Using his Lagging ability, Javier created an illusion. He blurred the line between forward and backward motion, making it seem as though he was constantly moving in and out of sight. The demon, confused and enraged, swiped wildly at the air, its claws missing him by mere inches.

Javier smiled, the glint of calculation in his eyes.

Javier's Voice in His Head:

"Let it chase. Let it burn its energy. I'll wait for the perfect moment."

After a few moments, he teleported behind the demon, using reverse engineering of the lagging effect to travel instantaneously. His strike was precise—an intense burst of energy from his hand, aimed directly at the demon's core. The demon staggered, disoriented by the sudden blow.

Javier's Self-Talk:

"This is just the beginning. I have yet to truly show them the extent of my power."

But it wasn't enough to just defeat the demon physically. No, Javier wanted control. He needed to make the demon his servant, a tool in his grand design. He began to tap into his Malleable Anatomy, reshaping his body into a darker, more intimidating form—a being that looked like the very embodiment of Hell itself. His eyes burned with fiery intensity as he raised his hand, reaching deep into the demon's essence with his Cyberpresence.

Through the demon's mind, Javier entered—his consciousness merging with the demon's will. The demon's resistance was feeble at best; Javier was too powerful now. He twisted the demon's mind, reprogramming it to serve his will, using his Enhanced Physics to exert his physical dominance.

Within moments, the demon bowed before him, its body trembling as it swore fealty to Javier.

Javier's Internal Monologue:

"This is the power I sought. The power to not just defeat, but to control. Every being will kneel before me, and I will never be the one who serves again."

From that moment on, Javier began his conquest of Hell, slowly building a vast army of demons that served him loyally. Each demon he controlled became a stepping stone to his ultimate rise.

Exploring His Powers: The Marvel Universe Awaits

Years passed, and Javier's control over his powers grew. He no longer viewed himself as just a fallen angel or a demon lord—he was something more. He was a god in the making, a being capable of reshaping the very fabric of reality. His Glitch Powers became more refined, and he discovered new ways to manipulate them.

Javier realized that his abilities were not just for combat or control—they were tools to reshape the world around him. His Phasing ability allowed him to slip through the dimensions themselves, moving from one universe to another, unnoticed and undetected. Intangibility allowed him to phase through attacks that would otherwise obliterate any normal being.

He used these abilities to explore the Marvel Universe, moving through realms and dimensions without fear of detection. He learned everything—about the Avengers, about the X-Men, about the cosmic entities that governed the universe. His mind, ever the genius, absorbed knowledge at an exponential rate.

Javier's Self-Talk:

"The Marvel Universe... vast, chaotic, full of heroes and villains. But what are they compared to me? They are nothing more than pawns in my game. I will outsmart them, break their will, and take control of their power. I will become the greatest force this universe has ever seen."

One day, while exploring a new dimension, Javier encountered a group of cosmic entities—the Celestials. They were ancient, god-like beings who had shaped the universe. But to Javier, they were nothing more than another challenge.

Using his Cyberpresence, he infiltrated their consciousness, taking over their systems, their minds. He teleported between their dimensions, slipping in and out of existence, erasing their knowledge of him. With a few calculated moves, he bent the Celestials to his will, their mighty powers now under his command.
