I Am In Marvel
Chapter 683 IMUC 685 The Symbol of Power
I have finished translating this fanfic, IMUC (I Am In Marvel With Unlimited Cards) and have posted all the advanced chapters on Patreon (Last Chapter -- 706). (/c/marvel6395). You can read all the advanced chapters there.
Kyle, having left the desolate remains of Asgard, remained within the Marvel Universe. He traveled directly to the realm of humanity, the cradle of the Galaxy.
At this point, advanced technological civilizations hadn't yet emerged, or rather, they hadn't had the chance. The rise of technological civilizations often stemmed from weaker races striving to bridge the gap with their more powerful counterparts.
However, the giants and elves, possessing overwhelming strength, rendered such progress unnecessary. They could easily subjugate budding civilizations, seizing control of vast, fertile star systems through their inherent racial dominance.
Weaker races were relegated to the margins, struggling to survive in the desolate spaces between star fragments, deprived of the resources and time necessary to peacefully develop their own technologies.
This stagnation demanded intervention.
Thus, Kyle arrived at the heart of the cosmic battlefield within the human realm. In the vast expanse of space, he materialized, observing the giants and elves as they mercilessly slaughtered the weaker races.
"What is that?" A Fire Giant, its body a towering mass of molten magma, noticed Kyle's presence.
Its body, the size of a mountain, pulsed with intense heat. It wielded a colossal sword of red fire, hundreds of meters long, radiating an aura of immense destructive power.
"A mere worm daring to fly above me?" The Fire Giant roared, its voice shaking the very fabric of the star system. It stomped upon the ground, triggering a fiery eruption that engulfed the land below. Its sword of red fire, capable of shattering planets, was aimed at Kyle, who appeared as a mere speck in the vastness of space.
Without a single movement, Kyle raised his gaze and calmly observed the Fire Giant.
In an instant…
The red fire sword shattered from its tip, crumbling like a collapsing mountain.
The Fire Giant, initially bewildered, looked down at its empty hands, and then its face contorted in terror.
It suddenly comprehended the true nature of the being before it. Desperately, it attempted to flee, utilizing all its strength to escape.
But before it could take a single step, the Fire Giant's massive body flickered and dissolved into a cloud of ash, dispersing into the cosmic wind.
In that instant…
The vast and boundless star battlefield, encompassing millions of civilizations and races, a battlefield that had raged for eons, fell into an eerie silence.
From the invincible giants and elves to the weakest, worm-like creatures, billions of lifeforms trembled in fear, their gaze fixed upon the solitary figure hovering in space.
In a single, effortless act, Kyle, the progenitor of this universe, had slain the invincible Fire Lord, ruler of the Nine Realms.
This was a feat beyond the comprehension of conventional laws. The only explanation, the most improbable explanation, was that he was…
The Creator, or rather, the God of Creation.
"Let me introduce myself. I am God." Kyle spoke softly, yet his voice resonated throughout the battlefield, audible to every lifeform.
Gazing down upon the countless trembling lifeforms, Kyle raised his hand, and a purple gem materialized before him. "This is the Power Stone, the symbol of ultimate power within this universe. Any lifeform that possesses it will ascend to the pinnacle of existence."
"Whoever touches it becomes its master."
With these words, Kyle vanished, disappearing from the sky.
The Power Stone, no longer held aloft, began to descend towards the vast battlefield below.
Just moments ago, all lifeforms had been paralyzed by fear. Now, they erupted in a frenzy, a chaotic scramble to claim the Power Stone.
"Get out of my way! It's mine!"
A Frost Giant surged forward, freezing a portion of the struggling mass in place. It leaped high, aiming to seize the purple gem. But a massive axe descended, severing its head with a single blow.
The powerful giant wielding the axe prepared to claim the Power Stone, only to be engulfed by a horde of other giants and elves.
The struggle for the Power Stone intensified, the battlefield descending into a maelstrom of violence, surpassing any conflict witnessed before.
Kyle, observing the scene from the shadows, remained indifferent.
This was his intended outcome. If he couldn't prevent war, he would escalate it to its ultimate conclusion.
The previous conflicts had been mere skirmishes between the giants and elves, with the weaker races bearing the brunt of their aggression. Now, with the Power Stone in play, the giants and elves would turn upon each other, their conflict escalating to unprecedented levels of destruction.
Even the giants and elves, once seemingly invincible, would be reduced to near-extinction.
This would be a grand cleansing, a period of immense suffering where countless lives would be extinguished. But from the ashes of this cosmic conflict, the hope for the rise of technological civilizations would emerge.
Kyle felt no sympathy. To him, it was merely a necessary step. He could always recreate the universe anew.
He arrived at the edge of the human realm, on a distant planet at the universe's periphery, and created a planet of exceptional properties. This planet, a masterpiece of his creation, possessed the ability to effortlessly consume and recycle planetary debris, acting as a cosmic custodian.
On this planet, he constructed a dwelling and settled within its embrace.
The rectification of the Marvel Universe was a long and intricate process, not something that could be resolved with a few simple interventions.
That same day, Venom emerged from its card form, offering a sense of companionship. At least he had an old friend to share his thoughts with.
A month later, Raina's soul reawakened within him.
After recounting the events that had transpired, Kyle utilized the fundamental laws of the Marvel Universe to reshape her form. Her new form granted her consciousness dominion over the entire Marvel Universe, enabling her to manipulate any substance, even those without tangible form.
This power was known as 'Annihilation'.
Together, Kyle, Raina, and Venom settled on a planet at the farthest edge of the Marvel Universe, a place they named "Celestial."
