From the alien technology samples, I had developed several general-purpose innovations, leaving them with the design team for refinement. Soon, we'd be marketing these as the next generation of advanced technology. Our smartphone division, already performing well, had risen to the top three globally within just two years of release. With the introduction of a new chip architecture, cellular technologies, and improved battery life, our next model was poised to be a top seller upon launch.
Meanwhile, Helen and Maya focused on bioengineering bacteria designed for efficient decarbonization and oxygen release, a crucial development in our efforts to counter climate change. Tony Stark, along with Hank Pym and Hope, had made significant strides in expanding the range and potential of quantum fluctuations. After a month of accumulating raw materials—some of which I had personally synthesized—the testing models showed promising results.
Six months later, with my direct assistance, we completed construction of the World Engine.
Though only 80 meters tall and 150 meters wide, it housed eight separate sections that would detach and deploy upon launch. Its compact size was deliberate, as it relied on thrust vectoring and ion engines, instead of massive fuel reserves, for propulsion. The engine was intended to be minimized using Pym Particles, allowing it to be deployed in Mars' orbit without difficulty. We installed multiple backup systems to ensure that the gravitational engine would stabilize the planetary core, preventing any unintended ejections or disruptions. I have appeared as human.
I had convinced Tony that, with our advances in cloning and consciousness transfer, we could easily manage a full-body clone and that's how I became a human, alleviating some concerns. Then he asked me whether it could transfer consciousness of humans, which is yes, and he suggested that we hide this otherwise it is a form of eternal life and would create a lot of problems otherwise.
After a final round of inspections, Tony, Hank, and I discussed the project about not involving the government. Helen, too, finally agreed to move forward without involving the government. She realized that their red tape would only delay our progress indefinitely, and revealing the existence of the Celestial deep within Mars could cause mass panic. It was better to act first and explain later, once the planet's transformation was complete.
While the rest of the world had barely begun exploring Mars with rovers and speculative manned missions, we were operating on a different level entirely. Our spacetime warping engine was leagues beyond traditional fuel-based drives. The spaceship I had designed earlier—a marvel that Tony had already admired—was ready for this mission.
We had test-flown it earlier, and now, carrying the World Engine reduced to just 10 cm in height, we boarded the ship. I took the helm, activating the ship's retroreflective panels and radar shields to turn us invisible. Within 30 seconds, we reached the upper atmosphere of Earth at Mach 10. Once properly positioned, we engaged the warp engine, accelerating to twice the speed of light (2c). We felt no acceleration—space itself moved around us, leaving us unshaken. In just 5 minutes, we reached Mars' orbit.
For the next day, we conducted extensive planetary mapping, ensuring there were no hidden Celestials or anomalies within Mars that could interfere with our mission. Once we were certain everything was clear, we deployed the World Engine. The eight parts separated and aligned themselves across Mars' poles and intercardinal points. It took half a day to establish stable orbits. Then, the transformation engines activated, deploying shields while remaining invisible to any Earth-based detection systems. After the final confirmation, the quantum fields were engaged, and the gravitational engines began compressing the planet's inner crust towards the core.
The geological activity triggered massive earthquakes, powerful enough to destroy the rovers that had been monitoring Mars. Earth's space agencies would detect this sudden tectonic activity, unaware of the true cause. The entire project was planned to take two years, carefully monitored to ensure planetary stability. Back aboard the ship, seeing that everything was working smoothly, we initiated and tested our transformation droids.
On Earth, millions of these droids were already created and size reduced and carried with us. These droids were initially only the size of hair's width, created with nanotechnology that allowed for precise modeling. Using Pym Particles, we enlarged them, and the process worked perfectly and are operational to manage various tasks as part of our larger, more subtle operations in future.
After a month in space, overseeing the initial stages of Mars' transformation, we returned to Earth. The groundwork had been laid for something truly monumental, and now, the clock was ticking toward the realization of our vision. The A.I. on engine will inform of us of any detection. Besides i am also in constant checking using my divine sense. Even though I could terraform with a thought, the achievement of technology is a marvel to see.
Back on Earth, people were growing anxious, suspecting yet another alien attack or invasion, but they lacked any concrete evidence. The atmosphere remained tense, and with no signs of an imminent threat, Mars was closely monitored. It wasn't long before systems detected intense gravitational fluctuations on the red planet.
Two months later, an exploratory team from Attilan, the home of the Inhumans, arrived. I met them aboard their ships, appearing before them in an instant to mitigate their doubts. Revealing myself as an Inhuman, I briefly explained our group's efforts to terraform Mars and assured them we were aware of their presence, choosing not to interfere. Given the ongoing celestial events and the potential for war, I proposed an alliance.
This alliance required me to visit the Inhuman King on the Moon. In that meeting, I stood my ground, refusing to bow. I showcased our carefully constructed systems and backup protocols, assuring them that our actions would not result in any harmful consequences. However, I sensed Maximus's ulterior motives to inform the humans about our plans.
Anticipating trouble, I left the meeting and returned to my spaceship and reached the boundary of space near mars. Before Maximus could execute his scheme to finalize his intentions, I seized control of his body, leading him to the mines before orchestrating a catastrophic explosion. Good riddance.
After six months, astronomers reported a significant increase in Mars' mass and size, coupled with a slight reduction in its orbital radius around the sun. The World Security Council discreetly enlisted S.H.I.E.L.D. to investigate these anomalies. Using previously obtained alien spacecraft, they attempted to reach Mars.
I employed advanced shielding technology to mask the true nature of the planet transformation, only allowing them to perceive normal readings. Instead, they detected high tectonic activity, leading them to stay in orbit and monitor, but without any significant findings, they eventually returned to Earth.
Meanwhile, inquiries came from a Skrull ship hovering outside Earth, which was in the process of being transformed into a planetary fortress under the direction of S.W.O.R.D., likely later rebranded as S.A.B.E.R. The spacecraft from S.W.O.R.D. was teleported back by myself.
Now it was mid-2013. Nick Fury, having had enough, decided to reach out to Captain Marvel. She visited Earth, reconnecting with family and friends before making her way to Mars to investigate the fluctuations. As I contemplated shielding her, I realized it might be wiser to keep her close rather than risk her calling on her alien allies to intervene or she putting on a show here. Maybe its time to actively engage and change events.
When she approached, I appeared before her in space, face changed to a random person. "We can talk inside," I communicated directly into her mind, gesturing to a spacecraft that momentarily revealed itself before vanishing. She followed me inside.
"Who are you? You look human," she said, scrutinizing me.
"I am humans—just part of a group of scientists trying to terraform Mars into a habitable planet."
"Terraforming? That's rare technology, even in the galaxy. How did Earth's technology advance to this level? What if it all goes wrong? Do you have any approval?"
"Ms. Danvers, look at this," I said, displaying cosmic energy mapping of Earth, revealing a gigantic celestial figure.
"A celestial? Here on Earth?" She gasped, realizing the implications. "Earth would be destroyed."
"Yes. Even with your might, you cannot confront such an entity without causing catastrophic damage. We could consider using the Space Stone currently on Asgard, but it's not capable of phasing a celestial without the Power Stone, whose location remains unknown. Engaging the infinity stones would attract unwanted attention. Moreover, moving the celestial would destabilize Earth. We have backup systems and gravity stabilizers in place and capable individuals ready to assist in case something goes awry.
As for approval, Earth lacks a unified governing body. It's fragmented. Who would we apply to? The U.S.? S.H.I.E.L.D.? Mars is not theirs. Even after our terraforming and relocation, we would still be 200 million kilometers away at its furthest point, and the closest distance remains unchanged. We could accelerate Mars' revolution speed to approximately one Earth year, matching our timeline we will be providing a place where they could start again."
"Your intentions are noble, but how will you manage civilization migration? Who decides who comes and who stays?"
"The celestial on Earth relies on the intelligent organism population of the planet. Reducing that population will delay its emergence. From classified intel, we learned that a group of human-like Eternals will be assigned to planets like ours. A celestial's emergence is a once-in-a-billion-year event, and it just happens to coincide with Earth as it's host.
We must not antagonize them, as they are connected to a celestial who planted the seed here. If they feel threatened, they will arrive to investigate, and we are uncertain if the Eternals understand their true purpose—some may know, while others may not. If you choose to help us, there is a way."
I then showed the planet under processing, changing and gravity engines transforming everything. I allowed her to take a few images of operation under the promise that this will remain between trusted persons only and she won't reveal it to aliens.
"What way? Wait, if your technology is so advanced, why didn't you intervene during the previous war?"
"We undoubtedly aided during the alien war, as evidenced by how it ended within ten minutes. There's a pressing need for a stable S.H.I.E.L.D. institution to monitor Earth against alien technologies and other potential threats. S.H.I.E.L.D. is currently compromised with HYDRA operatives and uninformed agents, including Nick Fury. We have evidence of HYDRA's infiltration within S.H.I.E.L.D. and the World Security Council, led by Alexander Pierce.
They are planning to sabotage Project Insight—a project involving the launch of three Helicarriers equipped with advanced targeting systems to preemptively eliminate perceived threats. This could take at least a year to come to fruition and will kill millions world wide if left unchecked."
"I believe you then, provide me the list; I will find them myself."
"No need for impulsivity. If you apprehend them all, the World Security Council would disband—the only international organization currently in operation. HYDRA is deeply embedded across the globe. If we simply capture them, funding for S.H.I.E.L.D. will vanish, and they will be labeled as terrorists by the military and the public, leaving individuals like Nick Fury in prison.
Rest of the Hydra will increasingly endanger US. What would happen if another alien invasion happen and avengers died. Who will safeguard earth? The stones won't simply appear in the hands of Loki, as he was banished outside his own realm before as said by Thor himself. Some other person is puppeteering."
Our conversation meandered through dark corridors of history, transitioning from the Kree, inhuman Hive to the Red Skull, before delving into the various revolutions and military atrocities perpetrated by Hydra around the globe. This brought us to the present-day leaders of Hydra and the looming specter of the Infinity Stones, which had recently come to Earth through Loki. I suggested that a larger conflict was on the horizon, prompting her to decide to return to Earth.
I advised her to request that Fury keep any discussions about Terraforming from the World Security Council, as some members had ties to Hydra. To aid our efforts, I provided her with digital records of Hydra institutions and their global operatives, derived from Arnim Zola's A.I. memories and my own external searches.
Once she left, I briefed the team about the Inhuman encounters, the alien presence, and Captain Marvel's involvement. Initially, Tony was reluctant to accept the reality of Carol Danvers, but I countered his objections by sharing her impressive feats and detailed profile, which quelled his concerns.
Upon my return to Earth, I learned that Carol planned to accompany Fury as a newly appointed S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, engaging in space patrols every weekend. With the information I provided, Fury launched a cleansing operation. He meticulously appointed trusted agents, including some from outside the established lists, and enlisted the help of his Skrull ally, Talos.
In a secret meeting with Alexander Pierce, the Secretary of the World Security Council, Fury, alongside Natasha Romanoff and Hawkeye, confronted Pierce about his Hydra affiliations. The encounter escalated, resulting in Pierce's death. Talos then assumed Pierce's appearance, adopting key memories to aid Fury's mission.
I was summoned to assist in capturing the A.I. Arnim Zola. With Tony and Pepper occupied in a space station for two months, I executed the operation solo. I infiltrated Camp Lehigh's high-security containment facility, containing Zola without any introduction and without resistance. Using my reality manipulation skills, I ensured he couldn't self-destruct or alert anyone, compelling him to respond truthfully to Fury's inquiries. I also discovered the religious faction of Hydra led by Gideon Malick and his son. Both suffered heart attacks and died simultaneously, as I had willed. I allowed the daughter to live, as I couldn't eliminate all variables. "However, I sent her an image of her god, depicting Hydra killing her in front of her father, to haunt her dreams."
Zola's consciousness was subsequently transferred to a secure isolated computer system in Fury's covert warehouse, where he was later terminated after extracting vital information. I also erased Zola's presence from the memories of significant Hydra operatives worldwide; If I left it there, it will speed up escapees.
With Captain Marvel's assistance, Fury's team penetrated a Siberian facility, uncovering brainwashed Hydra super soldiers. Utilizing Zola's intelligence, they identified two genuine Hydra members among them, capturing three and eliminating the rest. The facility was meticulously cleansed of evidence before they left. Winter Soldier Bucky Barnes was rescued. The lines of memory unlocking codes would be helpful to him.
In the aftermath, those within S.H.I.E.L.D. who had amassed a record of murders and crimes were dispatched on a series of impossible missions worldwide. Confrontations regarding Hydra loyalty were swift and deadly; many were killed for their allegiance or cowardice. Notable figure such as John Garrett faced execution, while Jasper Sitwell, Dr. List, Grant Ward were apprehended, with the latter exposed as a sleeper agent.
As Fury stabilized S.H.I.E.L.D. with trusted allies, several agents were placed under surveillance and executed when found guilty. Corrupt ministers and politicians were unmasked, facing imprisonment for their nefarious activities. General Hale posed a unique challenge; despite her lack of substantial accusations, her daughter, Ruby Hale, was an assassin who I proved criminal using the digital intelligence I gathered. However, as Ruby was underage, her situation proved complicated.
S.H.I.E.L.D. detained her, ultimately suspending Hale's military position. When Hale attempted to escape, I orchestrated a series of accidents that led to General Hale's demise. S.H.I.E.L.D. then re-captured Ruby, erasing her records from the internet and classified files. She was brought into the idea of savior of world, the chosen one etc. from early ages itself, it was very violent to see her struggle against Shield Operatives.
As Hydra's communication networks faltered, I turned my attention to Daniel Whitehall, using the information I had amassed to track him down. I erased his memories and confiscated his research on particle infusion, teleporting the data to my private lab for Helen and Maya to analyze.
This series of actions prompted Fury to set his sights on the Sokovian base, where Wanda and Pietro were supposed to be held a year into future for testing with the Mind Stone. As soon as I sensed his intentions, I appeared infront of their doorway of temporary home. The place is having a safe community with the help of Tony Stark, but Hydra still cause some protests against US.
Seeing a U.S. citizen, they were clearly displeased. "What do you want?" one of them demanded.
"Your cooperation in listening to what I have to say."
"We don't need anything," the other replied, abruptly closing the door. But I was already seated at the dining table, having appeared inside the room. Noticing a nearly full juice bottle, I decided to take a sip. The sound caught their attention, and they turned to see me drinking.
"How did you…?" Wanda stammered, her cheeks flushing. I accessed her memories and confirmed she had also drunk from that bottle. It seemed I would need to keep my flaw detection active at all times.
"Just listen; it's related to Stark," I said, sensing their curiosity piquing.
"Let me introduce myself: I'm… just a guy with powers. One of which is seeing through the future. I know you think I'm crazy, Mr. Maximoff, but look at this." I transformed one of the plastic flowers in the small cup at the center of the table into a pure diamond structure, handing it to Wanda. "See? It's real. I've altered many things in this timeline for the betterment of others. So, I may have also changed the events that led to you two gaining your powers. I'm here to help you, but only if you truly want those powers."
"Can it help us get revenge against Stark for his actions?" Wanda asked, her eyes glinting with ambition.
"Well, that's up to you. But remember, he may have experienced a hundred times more pain than you already have."
"We believe you. You could harm us with your power anyway. We're ready."
"Wait a minute; let me show you the timeline, so you can better judge." With that, they were instantly seated, and the space around us shifted into my illusion.
I conjured images of the missile failing in front of two children. "Wanda, Stark's missiles are high quality. The only reason it didn't work was that you changed the probability of the event in your favor. Hydra was responsible for the missiles in Novi Grad in the first place, and it's unrelated to Tony Stark."
The scene shifted to their protests and eventual capture by Hydra. "Fun fact: you were taken in as test subjects by the same people who killed your parents. Only you two were empowered; the others died."
Next, I showed them how they were used as experimental subjects by Hydra, revealing their conflicts with the Avengers. "You fought against them and even injured them, Wanda influencing events along the way. You sided with Ultron but eventually realized his true intentions and helped the Avengers."
The Battle of Sokovia played out before them, showcasing the chaos and destruction. "Hundreds died and were injured due to your indirect actions. Now, quick question: do you want to skip the part where you died, Mr. Maximoff?"
"I died? Hell… I want to see," he replied eagerly.
"Brother, no!" Wanda gasped.
I played the content of his death... after a bit of episode from Wanda, and the scene unfolded further—Wanda falling in love with Vision, the Civil War, Infinity War, and her own death. "Well, there's more, but this is enough for now."
Looking at both of the crying individuals, I said, "So it's like this: in this timeline, the problems began when Tony Stark somehow changed things. His technology resembles what we'd expect in the future. I suspect he either time-traveled to this timeline or, strangely, he reincarnated." I stated my findings with a straight face. "Now, Jarvis, his A.I. servant, has a synthezoid body. S.H.I.E.L.D. discovered Hydra early on, and they're now in the process of eliminating them, which includes your experimentation center shortly."
"Sorry, Wanda, your love is not in this timeline…" I continued. "So, do you want powers or not?"
"So Hydra did it? They're responsible for all the bombings here? The protests we participated in against the U.S. last week were funded by Hydra themselves to incite unrest? Then we will kill them!" Wanda's anger flared.
"Sure, you can, but you have approximately one week before S.H.I.E.L.D. contacts some Avengers for a secret mission to destroy this facility."
"We accept. Give us the power," Pietro declared resolutely.
"Very well then," I replied. I shielded the area around their home from any outsider influences, including perception and fate sensing. Taking out the scepter, I removed the Mind Stone from it. As soon as it sensed Wanda nearby, it exploded its outer controlling casing. I had already removed the negative influences—remnants of Thanos's will—and energy was drawn into Wanda, then transferred to Pietro. Wanda's transformation was instantaneous; she fainted. Pietro experienced a painful scream before falling silent. I placed the Mind Stone back into the scepter without touching it. The moment Wanda fainted some kind of reality alteration happened but it didn't affect either of me or Pietro.
I helped them both back onto the sofa and created a television connection using reality manipulation, watching it. After about an hour, they began to stir. Pietro acted animatedly, jumping around. I slowed time around myself and Wanda.
"I feel energetic, but no real differences," Pietro Maximoff said, puzzled.
"I have a headache," Wanda complained.
"Really? No change? We're now in slowed time, at one-sixth of the normal speed ratio." I waved my hand, transforming the air into a variety of tasty foods on the table. "Come join in. After your transformation, you'll need a lot of energy."
"Then why are you eating?" Wanda asked skeptically.
"That's not important."
"Well, you may need time to adapt while others don't." I looked at Wanda. "Wanda, you were born with this power. It was just toned down, as I showed you before. Your true power is quite complex, but for now, think of it as telekinesis and telepathy. As for Mr. Maximoff, you have super-speed, but compared to other speedsters I've seen, you're relatively slow. However, training might strengthen you."
Due to the unique nature of their powers, I couldn't exactly place them in a specialized training inner universe. Instead, I expanded the ground beneath the house, forming a larger testing ground where various training items appeared. "You can train on the treadmill, and Wanda, those weights are waiting for you, use telekinesis." Time remained slowed, and for the next week, they trained while I provided them with food and entertainment via the TV. At just 23 years old, the twins were having the time of their lives. I gradually increased the training difficulty and offered instructions. By the end of the week, they were gaining control.
Emerging from the time field, only a day had passed outside. "Stark has already helped your country as much as he can by establishing various shelters and communities in his name here. You may have known. I think it's his way of atoning for his indirect mistakes, but he didn't want to interfere with your development of powers."
"So now what?" Wanda asked.
"Well, now you can either help your community with your powers in secret, as the unrest will calm down once the base here is invaded. You wanted to destroy Hydra, right? Come with me. Oh, and don't hesitate to use your powers when you kill others. Otherwise, it could be you who gets killed."
With apprehension, both of them followed. I made them invisible, and we reached the Hydra base. It had a force field, utilizing the same technology we shared with S.H.I.E.L.D. These bastards. I opened a small portal into the field, revealing many soldiers inside. "Take one out and ask him to confirm it. It's your revenge." They acted swiftly, attacking without being noticed. Yet, they hesitated to kill.
"Well, if you can't kill anyone, then what will you do?" I observed. One soldier on the ground was searching for a weapon and aimed at Wanda. I froze time, the bullet suspended in mid-air. Maximoff pulled the bullet out effortlessly. "See? If you don't kill others, they will kill you."
"We only want to eliminate those responsible at the top command. Killing everyone is unnecessary," Wanda clarified.
"Good. Then go find this person and bring him here." I conjured an image of Baron Wolfgang von Strucker. Maximoff nodded in understanding. I unlocked the restricted areas for him, and he stealthily navigated past the guards, successfully bringing Strucker back without alerting any officers.
"He's the guy; the other one is already dead from the recent S.H.I.E.L.D. raid," I confirmed.
Instead of killing Baron Wolfgang von Strucker immediately, Pietro Maximoff decided to punish him with a barrage of super-speed punches. The relentless strikes made Strucker bleed heavily. Wanda, following her brother's lead, used her powers to replicate the technique she had used to destroy the dumbbells during her training. She focused all her energy on Strucker's head, crushing it in a bloody conclusion.
"Well, that's that. Let's go," I said, leaving the base. Before exiting, I erased the existence of every Hydra operative inside, sparing only the prisoners who were held for serum experimentation. I made sure they had food and water to last them a week; otherwise, they'd starve before help arrived.
Back at their temporary residence, I informed them, "I've already altered your records. You'll receive working visas and passports by tomorrow. Whether you decide to stay here and help your community or work with us, the war will be over soon. You're welcome to join Cho Industries, but there's a six-month training program you'll need to complete first. Let's face it, you didn't even finish your education properly."
Pietro groaned, "You don't have to rub it in."
I smiled, "Well, see you around. Oh, and this isn't my real face. If you ever manage to track me down, good luck." With that, I vanished, leaving behind a stack of cash for them.
Pietro looked bewildered and muttered, "That guy's weird. He can slow down time, see the future, create food out of nothing, and even made an entire training facility underground. What are we supposed to do with it now?"
Wanda's expression was more thoughtful. "He also killed most of the people at that base after we left. I can't sense anyone alive there, except for a few prisoners."
"...Yeah," Pietro added with a hint of relief, "good thing we're on his good side. But, Wanda, you were really something in the vision he showed us. You were… powerful."
Wanda gave a sly smile. "You have no idea. I can be powerful when I need to be."
Pietro laughed, "Says the woman who fell in love with a robot."
Wanda shot back, "And you, the speedster who got shot by bullets... poor you."
....
Upon returning, I located monoliths and the Di'Allas, all three of them. The Kree Monolith, which was stored on the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, was my first target. I phased into the cargo hold, slipping through the dense metal barriers. Karnak's gift of probability visualization combined with the Library of Heaven's Path (LoHP), allowed me to analyze every component of the monolith in mere seconds. Now, I could recreate it if needed. With a subtle vibration at the correct frequency, the monolith activated, and I was drawn into it, sent to a distant world—Maveth.
Maveth was a desolate graveyard of a once-great civilization, lost to internal strife and war. The earth was still within my divine sense, and compared to the vast expanse of the universe, it seemed only a stone's throw away. It was a land of shadows, where the parasite known as Hive had festered for eons. Its spores infected the underground in some places.
Sensing the dormant mass of Hive's parasitic essence scattered across the planet, I summoned every last bit of it to materialize before me in a swirling, chaotic mass of organic parasite. "Hive, also known as Alveus, you have lived far too long."
With a single thought, I commanded, "Erase," and in an instant, every fragment of its being was wiped from existence, leaving nothing behind. The ancient creature's long reign was finally over.
I also sensed Will, a human astronaut left behind during a NASA exploratory mission. With a gentle nudge, I made him unconscious, removed my presence from his memories, and teleported him back to the S.H.I.E.L.D. base. They could discover Maveth and its history on their own, or perhaps become lost in its desolation. Either way, the planet was now safe for exploration, should they ever find it.
The other two monoliths were housed in the Lighthouse, another S.H.I.E.L.D. facility. I appeared there next, phasing through the dense walls and layers of security until I stood before them. The Di'Alla of Creation, capable of tapping into the Fear Dimension, was first. I analyzed and recorded its structure and properties before erasing it entirely, preventing any further risk of dimensional encroachment. The Fear Dimension could no longer breach our world through this monolith.
The second was the Di'Alla of Time. This monolith allowed time travel, specifically a one-way journey to the future timeline. The key detail, though, was that someone will return with knowledge of the future to the same reality back. With my knowledge of science and magic, I realized the potential—combining the monolith's capabilities with my own techniques could enable me to jump forward in time and return without any side effects like aging.
I left the Time Monolith intact and returned to Earth, ready for the next stage of events. I also transformed the temple of mayans, the place for Izel to open the portal into regular stone temple. Now it was time for Daisy Johnson to undergo her Terragenesis, a crucial step in her evolution.
It was late 2013.
