(Aden's P.O.V)

"We have a lot to discuss."

I followed up my earlier statement. Batman gave a nod of confirmation and the light of a big boom tube appeared under them.

After carefully sending them to my realm, I looked around at the Solar System and sighed. Everything looked so lonely without the tiny tiny blue world orbiting the sun.

The cradle of humanity...reduced to nothing but rocks and space dust.

"Fuck you Darkseid."

Then I teleported out, preparing myself for the millionth time Batman and I had to 'talk.' At least I had one more stop to make before that.

While my air god form was busy interacting with the League in my secluded island a ways off from one of the 5 major continents, my flame god form was dealing with something completely different.

The Sconiad tower had always been something out of this world, literally. It was a wonder how a civilization that had existed tens of thousands of years ago, The Sconiads could have made such wondrous technology.

I wasn't tech savvy or a genius and the little I could understand indicated that I had not even scratched the surface of what this fusion of Sconiad tech and my realm had resulted in.

But in that particular moment, I was about to be immensely shocked.

If anyone had had the capability to see me at such a long distance away, literally 5 million miles away from the main continent, supporting the lives of over a billion humans, they would have seen a golden glowing figure. One that was sitting cross legged in the air above an empty ocean that stretched out farther than the eyes could see.

It wasn't as empty as one might think.

Behind the layers of folded space that bent the light was another layer of supercharged energy shield that was resistant to blunt damage and energy attacks. The more you tried to break through it, the more the core of the web of power holding the whole thing together, would pull more energy from the realm to protect itself.

Under the energy shield was Assault level drones. Different from the medical drones/scouting drones, Utility drones and construction drones, they were the final layer of protection before you accessed the Tower.

Assault Drones were constructed from the strongest unobtanium metal/mineral? alloy I had in my realm. The Star Alloy. It was a resource developed from the fusion of a crystal stronger than diamond that glowed white called, Ordum and it's variant Chaoum, crystals that literally ate light and energy, storing it and emitting a field of darkness where everything inside was broken down into energy and fed to the crystal in a sort of self sustaining feeding cycle.

Ordum was very straightforward in what it did. Take Chaoum and just flip it's functions. Ordum repelled any and every energy thrown to it. Everything bounced off of it. It did not want to be changed and the only thing that had been able to manipulate it had been my Order Avatar State. Welp until now, but I'll get to that later.

The last component of the alloy was a very weird and volatile metal. Honestly it was like nothing I had ever seen before. To explain it better, take ice for example. Ice cubes float in water because water is denser than the cubes. That's weird right? Especially when you consider that for other liquids, their solid state is always denser than the liquid. Chunks of rock would sink in lava, not float.

The reason why Ice is slippery is connected to this weird property of water molecules. You see a thin layer of not ice and not water covers the top of the ice. This thin layer that rapidly changes from a solid to a liquid is called a Quasi liquid.

Strangium was like that, a Quasi-liquid that took it much farther. Yes, I named the metal Strangium. It was even more special than the crystals. Under dense and high pressures only found in the core of my realm, Strangium could basically bond anything together. All it needed was incredible heat, 2 or more minerals of whatever you wanted to fuse and voila, you would get a substance that was a perfect fusion of the original materials.

Vibranium, Adamantium, Amazonium, Mithril, Katchin, Uru, Nth metal e.t.c? No worries, just get me a lot of heat and immense pressure, I'm talking the core of a blue giant and we're golden. I can fuse it all.

All of it.

I don't know what would be the result of the merger but here's the crazy part, the Strangium would also remove any individual weaknesses of each metal while enhancing their desirable properties some more.

Sorry for the rant. It still felt as if I all I'd seen was till just the tip of the iceberg. There was probably more to what this Quasi-liquid resource could do. And all that was thanks to the Tower's mining capabilities. Along with being the only direct route to my core, I ensured that I spared nothing when it came to protecting it.

So the final layer of protection were five Assault Drones. The name was deceptive though because following my input, the realm had fashioned them to resemble Ultron from the Avengers, only bigger,sleeker, stronger, more durable and possessed a learning matrix that was capable of adapting to an attack after the first time they were hit with it.

The best part though had to be the energy beams they attacked with. Using the property of Chaoum, they could fire out a black beam of destructive energy that shredded the bonds between molecules, effectively disintegrating anything they touched.

None of that explained why I was shocked though. It had only been 5 hours after my fight with Darkseid and during that time, I had yet to access the dozens of text boxes I knew were waiting for me. One of them had grabbed my attention the second I had popped up above the Sconiad Tower.

If it wasn't for the fact that I'd wanted to see a more detailed summary of the new functions of my realm, for example...I now had a star system...(I promise I'll get to that later), then I wouldn't have known about the life changing rewards from completing my latest mission.

::--------------------------------------::

I stiffened in place as I appeared in the Hall of the Gods at Mount Olympus. And no it wasn't the cracks running down the chamber that housed the god's Thrones that shocked me. Nor was it the fact that Kronos' head was mounted above the huge purple black throne, which was inspired by my very own throne safely tucked in my hammer space. The throne looked fairly new and stood above the other Olympian seats of power.

Neither was it the spark of glowing white power I could sense inside Vaatu, who was seated in the massive throne I mentioned earlier. The gods looked exhausted and their auras were weak but that still wasn't what shocked me.

No, what shocked me were the streams of invisible yet powerful energy making their way to me from...somewhere.

Hermes looked up in shock.

"You..."

I knew what had stumped him. I could feel his divine imprint in the new domains I was now connected with. Speed was his divinity yet...I could now access it as a separate divinity. Fuck. I came here to get Wonder Woman, Yaotl and Vaatu, so I'm just gonna ignore everything else. Yup! I ain't dealing with this shit right now.

I snapped my fingers and the three of us disappeared from Olympus. We reappeared in the middle of a stare off between Batman and Green Arrow.

"...you letting him have his way and now we have lost every fucking thing Bruce! The fucking planet is gone! The Watchtower destroyed! And it's all your fault because you decided we should trust him!"

Green Arrow concluded his tirade once he noticed that everyone was looking behind him.

He whirled around and came face to face with my unimpressed stare. He tensed, worry was etched onto his face and the League members behind him looked ready to jump in if I tried to attack him.

"Relax..." I held up my hands and smiled.

"Let's all just have a decent civilized conversation. Would you like to join me inside? I'll explain everything that has happened in the past few days."

I showed them the cottage.

I had asked Kori to go Dragon riding with the kids, to spare them from the talk about to commence. I didn't wait for them to decide whether to follow me in or not. However when I pushed the door open and entered the cozy but small room, I felt two presences behind me.

Vaatu and Yaotl had followed me without hesitation.

I hid my smile and concentrated on the next task. The space inside could not comfortably fit everyone. I waved my hand and space expanded, turning the lounge into a massive room the size of the Watchtower's hall.

Then came the question of the seating arrangements. A small hand gesture and the cottage sprouted branches that increased in size, changing their usual shape into a huge central table with wooden chairs that had a cushion made of tiny plant furs for comfort. We're going green yay.

Another wave and bowls filled with fruits and fresh juice in wooden cups appeared on the table.

"Okay that's cool."

Vaatu admitted from my left.

"I very much agree brother. Master, that is indeed very cool."

Yaotl added formally.

"Let's hope our friends think the same."

I sighed.

"I really want this to go as smoothly as it can."

"You sound as if you're sure a fight will happen, Master Aden."

Yaotl said.

In response I turned to look at the both of them.

"Imagine you just lost everything. You have no one to blame because someone else already dealt with them. But your hate anger and fear need an outlet. So what do you do? You start looking for enemies where there aren't. The second best option to blame. That's me."

Yaotl gave a curt nod while Vaatu frowned.

"You have my weapon at your disposal Master Aden."

Yaotl said, kneeling.

I said nothing, merely turned my gaze towards Vaatu. We held eye contact for a few seconds before he knelt as well.

"My loyalty has never changed. Will never change. You are more than my master, my father...you are my god."

I smiled.

"Arise."
