《The Merchant of Death》Where are you?
Advertisement
Two galaxies were colliding in a different part of the universe while some of the planets escaped the periphery of the explosion.
In one of these planets, a young boy of approximately seven was standing in a grassfield while staring at the sky.
He was clutching a shiny red stone in his hands which was pulsating as it turned to liquid and then solid again. The amber in the boy's hands was releasing a red energy into the boy's body to which the boy didn't even flinch.
"Odin my dear! Where are you?" came a voice of the boy's mother from a distance.
"Coming mother!" replied the boy as the amber in his hands disappeared and he turned around and rushed towards his mother at a blinding speed.
The boy reached near her mother and slowed down to run at a normal speed and saw his mother who was waiting for him.

Peter Quill was searching left and right for Gamora and Thanos on Titan while Rocket was trying to convince him that they were not here.
"Dammit Peter! Have you finally lost it? Till how long will you keep searching for them on a planet where there is no one except for us?" said Rocket in an irritated voice.
"You don't know that! Now either help me in my search or SHUT THE HELL UP!" replied an equally annoyed Peter.
Rocket couldn't take this anymore and he took out his gun and pointed at Peter.
"Oh yeah? Fire! I dare you!"
Drax immediately went forwards and held back Rocket from firing while Groot tried to hold Peter.
Peter although used his new powers and easily escaped from Groot's hold when suddenly Mantis jumped on him and placed her both hands on his head, making him fall asleep.
.
.
Not far from Titan, a very large spaceship approached the solar system which simply destroyed a meteoroid in its path instead of avoiding it.

Some alarms started to go off in Tony's lab on earth which was overseen by no one and very quickly, the ship turned to approach Titan.
An army of Chitauri was in an unrest at the lower deck of the ship while the Black Order was in the upper deck, watching the planet they were approaching intensely.
"Scan the planet. Check how many living beings are actually there" Said Zorr, who was a giant humanoid and was the first member of Thanos's new Black Order.
A small girl started to work on it and soon said
"I detect 6….no wait..I detect millions...wait wait..no...There are only 6…" The girl was getting confused at her own ability to detect lifeforms which surprised some of the members of the Black Order.
.
.
Back on Titan, a beacon went off in Rocket's ship. He immediately rushed towards the Beacon while Peter was beginning to gain consciousness and as he saw what was being projected on the monitor, Rocket's face lost all features.
Peter woke up from his induced slumber and immediately tried to attack Rocket when suddenly he too sensed something and quickly shifted his vision towards the sky.
Drax, Mantis, Groot, A'Lars...Everyone looked up into the sky to see a huge circular spaceship which was approaching Titan.
.
.
.
Not all the members of the Black Order were on the ship to Titan as more than half of them went to specific parts of the universe at the order of Thanos.
Thanos himself appeared on Nidavellir with two of his so called 'children' and with a frown, ordered them to search every corner of the Dwarf's planet for the Dwarf King.
Thanos was quite confused at the disappearance of not only the equipment but also at the disappearance of the very star which use to power the forge and as his feet approached the edge of the forge, his feet touched the fake replica of the Infinity gauntlet which was once present in Odin's vault.

The members of Intellgencia were again having a meeting as there was one complication.
"We need vibranium to finish the Tachyon beam!"
"That is simply impossible. I have researched it myself and Wakandan defense is virtually and literally unbreakable.
Add to that, their new Queen Shuri is rumored to be as fierce as a Panther while there is no sign of Black Panther. We don't even know if that T'Challa is still in the Avengers or not."
"Who said we need to steal the Vibranium from Wakanda? We can just rob one of the facility of Ulysses where he stored his stolen Vibranium."
"I heard that Iron Man has seized all such facilities. Not only that, he has even bought all the artifacts of Wakanda which were spread around the world."
"Damm. Where the fuck even is Stark? He hasn't made any public appearance for quite awhile.
He just comes in his suit when there is a threat."
"Yeah, I was researching about him and found that his company was being established in every country in the world and all the countries had some Iron Man popping out. It is simply ridiculous"
"Calm down boys...I only need a scrap of the Vibranium...Just a scrap."
.

Tony was in a spiral world where everything was floating and twisting in a circular motion.
He was surrounded by many black and red orbs while sometimes there appeared some golden and blue orbs too.
"How easy this gift has turned my project into" came Tony's voice in the in the circular world of the Oracle in which his face shone sometimes with the red orbs revolving around him, while he held the black sphere he got from the remains of the Quasar Collison.
He suddenly extended his other hand at a lightening speed and immediately caught a slightly darker blue orb.
The Orb released a light from which some of it got inside Tony's skin and traveled to his brain.
"So that's where the edge of the universe actually is" came Tony's voice as he let go of the orb and his face was again shrouded in the darkness.
'Jarvis, Speed up the synchronization of the Cosmic cubes'
[Affirmative]
[System going into Overdrive]
Tony immediately disappeared from the Oracle after giving Jarvis its commands and appeared far away into the space, fully clad in his Endo-Sym armor.
.
.
.
Mephisto again appeared on earth as Johnny Blaze wanted to break the contract between them.
Johnny thought that he could use his Penance Stare on Mephisto who he thought was Satan but little did he know, Mephisto was a creature with no soul, which in turns makes him even stronger after being stared by the Penance stare.
"Well may you tremble! For you gaze upon... Mephisto!"
Suddenly, as Mephisto was about to snuff the soul out of Johnny, he detected something and looked up while trembling.
.
.
Hela too looked towards the sky from her Observatory and saw the emergence of the Dark dimension.
As she looked on, a very infamous monster which could fight Galactus to a stalemate started to emerge from the Dark dimension which then sent a signal towards Hela, Mephisto and a couple other people while some of his signal disappeared inside a limbo which was a sort of a pocket universe.
.
.
.
Red Skull was at the happiest moment of his life right now as he was on an unknown planet and lifted up his hand in the air in which a Blue Tesseract was firmly gripped.

Author note: I just discovered the Royal Road community and decided to jump in and participate. I posted Combat Origin, Book 1 during Nov and Dec of 2019 (before moving it to Amazon), followed by the short story prequel that gave backstory on two of the main characters. (non-Gamelit - because the gaming AI hasn't been found yet) Now, Book 5 has been finished and posted on Amazon, which allows me to leave a 10% sample here. The books are all free to read, If you have Kindle Unlimited. Please comment, ask questions, offer suggestions or just say hi. I'm hoping to connect with readers and improve my storytelling. -- Misty :) https://www.amazon.com/author/mistyzaugg https://mistyzaugg.com/

Ae, the protagonist, is not ready to give up just yet; if he could just become more powerful then surely he would find the solution!
