[1st POV]
As it turns out, recruiting new members for Mars was a lot easier than I had expected. As after talking with the Inhumans for a bit longer, and meeting a few of the other high ranking members - including the pup - they ended up having a long private conversation with one another, and agreed to my offer.
All under the one rule that I was not going to get rid of some of their customs that their people followed, which were...all reasonable, so I didn't deny them. Not only that, but they had also wished to inform their people first, which was also a reasonable ask.
It hadn't taken more than an hour before the entire city - much to their shock - was effortlessly teleported to Mars, where it now was combined with what was to be dubbed as "New Attilan". The Space Stone had been a cheat for this sort of thing, and boy did I need to use it more often, especially with some of the projects I had coming up.
The big one being...Sacred Gears.
With my knowledge from the World of DxD, I had recently come to the conclusion that one of the best ways of strengthening the people of Mars, was to give them something that they'd have to train, but would actively make them stronger. And Sacred Gears were one of the best possible solutions at the moment.
Making one wasn't too difficult, it was more so the materials required to make them that could prove...annoying. Especially if I wanted to make a Longinus, which would require the soul of a powerful entity, at least, if I wanted to make something like the Boosted Gear or Divine Dividing.
Which I didn't.
Those two gears were way too much for a world like this one, as if they didn't have any sorts of limits on the limit to their boosting, then just imagining it in the hands of someone like Franklin Richards or Jean was...frankly terrifying, even by my standards.
But I could make something like the Zenith Tempest, which could be a good gear to give to this worlds Ororo in order to strengthen her already immensely powerful abilities. The gear itself was strong in the world of DxD, but in my hands it was...honestly pretty underwhelming.
I also plan on creating a dimension of my own in Mars, akin to the Underworld from DxD but less...well, underworldy. Said underworld would be where I would move a majority of my factories, and would be where I start forming my personal armies. Hell, I might even make the devil species myself, having thousands of devils might be useful.
Especially if they were all like Sirzechs or Ajuka. The latter of which was pretty insane with that formula of his, a formula that I have actively been modifying so it controls and modifies more than just demonic energy, but all energy. It was a bit slow going though, as manipulating the stronger and more dangerous energies is...well, not easy.
Especially if I wanted to control something like the Power Cosmic, which was the end all be all energy that I wished to gain for myself.
Besides Attilan now receiving more and more residents, with my teams now working around the multiverse to recruit them, alongside a few Inhumans who have joined it already, I am now working on the next parts of Project Rebirth, as well as my project involving corruption.
The latter of which was almost finished by now, and was nearing it's end level, and by the time it was done, I would have a virus controlled solely by me, that could wipe out entire species on a universal scale. Only the likes of a Celestial and a Skyfather could handle it, which is saying a lot, considering how powerful you'd have to be to live through it.
The former Project was still slow going, as most of the items I needed were just spread around the multiverse now, or were...not easy to get. Not easy as in they are currently being guarded or are owned by beings well beyond my current power level.
At the moment I am sat in my office, staring at Artemis with an amused smile on my face. Why? Because my oh so adorable girlfriend is currently staring at the sacred gear I had built for her in awe. It was the first one I have officially constructed.
"...This thing is awesome! So you're telling my that I can use it to manifest any weapon I can think of, as long as I have the energy needed for it?" My tomboy girlfriend asked.
I planned on making ones for Korra, M'gann and Raven too, but Artemis was the easiest to make for, as I had all the materials on hand. Whereas the ones for them were a bit more complicated and would take longer. All of them would be similar in power though, as well as in potential.
"Yep, you can make just about any weapon you can imagine with that thing. There isn't any upper limits besides your own. So I hope you start to watch some more anime and movies, afterall, they're the best source of inspiration" I said, as Artemis leaned forward and pecked me on the lips.
"Thanks babe! I'm gonna go and play with my new toy!" Artemis said, as she ran off in a rare burst of excitement, causing me to snort.
She had been pretty quiet in the past few weeks, with me being so busy. But now that I've been putting my clones onto all of it, I've been able to focus more on my girlfriends more, as well as just enjoying life and not working 24/7 as I have been.
Speaking of work, I, in the past few days, have been doing more and more rounds in New York, which has caused more and more SHIELD agents to try to tail me. Emphasis on try, not a single one of them could follow me for more than a few seconds before I just up and disappear, but not before I prank them a bit.
It was fun really. With them thinking they actually had a chance of stopping me or following me.
Although it looks like I'll be revealing myself soon, considering Carol Danvers has finally reached the area of Malzif, and is getting very very close to reaching our lands. And after talking with the council, it seems they are all in agreement that it is time that they reveal themselves, mostly because it would be better to get ahead of it instead of the humans finding out on their own.
There was not a single thing Earth could do against her cities, so it was not too much of an issue to reveal their existence to SHIELD. Especially with my clones constantly working on strengthening the orbital cannons around the city, all in preparation for what was coming.
Galactus.
I had sensed him a few days after Attilan, and the fact that the Eater of Worlds was coming to Earth was...concerning.
He was a cosmic entity that at his peak, was able to destroy the entire multiverse. When fully fed the man was a monster that even I can't stop, not usually at least. The man was also the source of a major power that I wanted, no, needed.
The Power Cosmic.
It was instrumental to my plans and I needed it, or at least I needed to gaze upon it in person in order to see it. I needed to know it's inner workings so I can potentially utilize it myself.
He was also a huge threat to the city, and Earth, and that was why the orbital cannons were being strengthened even more. Not only that, but I have built several more, including a handful on the Moon, and even a few in space. All of them having the power to destroy a star at their full might, and all of them being able to fire across the solar system.
All in order to hopefully damage Galactus even a little bit.
And this wasn't even thinking about his Herald, the Silver Surfer. Who was arguably a bigger threat to me than Galactus, as he was smaller, and much harder to hit. He was someone I would personally have to fight, alongside the stronger Avengers, and the X-Men. As this simply wasn't something I could fight alone, not at my current power.
Project Rebirth would give me the power to defeat him, but it was not meant for this, nor was it ready.
Project Rebirth was meant for someone arguably stronger than him, and much more dangerous to me.
Knull.
I don't know when he was coming, but I knew it was going to happen in the next 3-5 years. And when he does, I have to be ready for him, which is also why I have been asking the system for as many system quests as possible, and I plan on starting to use the otherworldly quests more and more, in hopes of getting powers and items from other universes.
There was one universe in particular that I was immensely interested in. The universe that knows only war...
Warhammer 40k.
As heretical as it sounds...absorbing the Emperor of Mankind would be massive for my power, and it would grant me further immortality. And if I choose the right Otherworldly quest, there won't be any humans that can complain about it, besides the Emperor himself.
He was strong, but I'm certain that my absorption powers can overwhelm him, especially with my billions upon billions of souls worth of power. That same power would massively boost the psyker power I'd get from him.
I'd likely have psychic power that could rival Jean using the Phoenix, which was saying a lot. Considering I couldn't rival Phoenix Jean at all, not with the amount of power she could now call upon from it.
There were also worlds like God of Highschool, Dragonball, and SCP. The latter of which had a being that I wished to absorb if at all possible. That being the "Hard to destroy reptile" SCP 682. It would grant me an adaption based power that would truly make me impossible to kill, not only that, but it would massively increase my chances against Galactus.
But...the missions involving SCP were...not exactly the safest. And there was no way in hell I am even thinking of going against a being like the Scarlet King. I am not suicidal.
He might not stack up against some of the higher tier Marvel beings, but I'm not dumb enough to even think of interacting with someone who'd likely scale in the tiers of the Phoenix Force, Eternity, and Death. I doubt he'd be able to touch someone like Oblivion or the Living Tribunal, but the point stands.
But for now, I think it's time to wait for Carol Danvers to arrive. Afterall...
It's time we prepare for Galactus
