(3rd POV)

"You."

He turned to the nearest civilian, a young man still shaking in fear. The man flinched but managed to hold his ground.

"What year is this?"

The man swallowed hard before stammering out an answer.

"It's..2015."

'2015?'

Aeternus Vortigern mind raced. Does this mean he had arrived in the era of All-New, All-Different Marvel right after the multiversal collapse and the creation of Battleworld.

Or is he in the Marvel universe where the events of the Beyonders' massacre of the cosmic entities, the collapse of the multiverse, and God Emperor Doom's rule is near?

Aeternus Vortigern click his tongue in annoyance, because the god of reincarnation didn't tell him what era is he going to be transported.

Even with these powers, he's not sure if he is ready to face off against the beyonders or worse, superior Ironman who is one of the biggest pricks in marvel for creating a addicting app for 100 dollars daily which people started to steal or kill themselves that can't afford it.

Before he could think any further his enhanced senses, mostly his nose smell something rotten. He look around using enhance vision to see all food stands, fruit markets, cafe and restaurants have rotten and dried food.

'The hell? What just happened, why are all the food is rotten. Did something happen around here before i arrived.... was there an accident by some new experiment chemical that cause this?

But that doesn't make sense, cause I would have detected it with Ultimate Kars enhance senses in a instant..'

He wracked his mind, searching for a connection, when a flicker of memory surfaced. The only the thing can do this is a certain power that can accelerate existence itself, aging all things except the living. His eyes narrowed.

"No… this feels just like...."

He turned sharply, spotting a nearby pedestrian who still looked shaken, their breath unsteady. He took a step forward, his presence looming. "Tell me, did things feel… unnatural before I arrived? Like time was moving too fast?"

The person hesitated, eyes darting around as if trying to make sense of the experience. Then, with a nervous nod, they confirmed his worst suspicion.

"Y-Yes! One second it was morning, then night, then day again! It was like… everything was skipping forward way too fast!"

Then Aeternus Vortigern now understand what has happened.

'It looks like my arrival in this world somehow triggered an effect similar to Made in Heaven's time acceleration from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean.

But if that were the case, then my presence must have brought it to an abrupt stop.'

Aeternus Vortigern look around again and mentally sighs as he knows there is another problem.

'Still… even though time resumed normally, bu all the world's harvested and processed food wasn't restored because it wouldn't be any rotten food right now. Damn it, just my luck, I'm probably already at the top of every world government's most-wanted list for something I didn't even do on purpose.'

*SWWOOSH!*

'Hmm?'

He felt the air pressure have change and hold out his left hand and caught something that was thrown at him.

Aeternus Vortigern glance at the object he caught was an axe and recognition dawned on him as his sharp eyes traced its form. He had seen this weapon before, as if to confirm his suspicions, the sound of galloping hooves echoed through the air. Looking up, he spotted a figure approaching, riding atop a pair of massive goats.

Thor... or go by the name odinson now, as he's unworthy of Mjolnir since Nick fury whisper the words that turn him into a god with no title and thunder. He just looks like a shirtless man with red cape and a left black metal prosthetic arm forge by asgard

[Image here]

'Is this guy serious?" he mused. "Did he really just throw his axe at me like how he used to with Mjolnir? But now Mjolnir is in someone else's hands… and almost nobody knows it's Jane Foster.'

His grip on the weapon tightened slightly as he shifted his gaze back to the approaching Odinson, waiting to see what the so-called unworthy god had to say for himself.

"Who are you, are you one of the realms powerful weapons to attack midgard!?"

Odinson speaks to the towering armored figure that caught his axe.

Aeternus Vortigern scoffed beneath his helmet, shifting his stance slightly. Without a second thought, he simply let the axe drop from his grasp, the heavy weapon clanging against the ground. Then, with a casual kick, he sent it sliding back toward Odinson's feet to disrespect him.

A deep, amused tone laced his words as he spoke. "So, this is what the mighty Thor has been reduced to? Using a weapon from his younger years, clinging to scraps of his former glory by try throwing that thing at me by not questioning me first and act later, how pathetic." He gestured vaguely toward the axe.

But that's not the only thing Aeternus Vortigern sees, as many ships slowly descend from the skies and others who can fly are levitating nearby. Especially one person that catches his eye, Jane foster with blonde hair holding Mjolnir on her hand.

The Fantastic Four and the avengers come out of their perspective ships. Aeternus Vortigern couldn't help himself as he continues speaking to Odinson when he sees Jane foster.

"And your title… taken, just like that. Tell me, does it sting, Odinson? To watch another have the name and taken a spot of a group what was once yours?"

Thor who now take the name of Odinson, tightened his axe and his jaw clenched as he wants to attack Aeternus for reminding him he's not worthy anymore. But he stays calm because he doesn't know who is this unknown figure is and what tricks does he have on his sleeve.

*THWIP*

*THWIP*

2 sounds can be heard and he looks to his right to see 2 figures. 1 is wearing the classic red and blue suit with a black spider symbol on his chest, and another wearing all black suit but has red on it.

"Hah. So that's where I landed."

Aeternus Vortigern got his answer that he is in a time where the events of 2015 secret wars has passed, so he doesn't need to worry about facing off the beyonders soon.

Peter Parker, the original Spider-Man, narrowed his eyes behind his mask and shout out afar. "So, uh… are you an alien? A guy from another dimension!? Or..." He hesitated for a second, glancing between Aeternus and Odinson then came up with a very serious question since his last experience. "Wait, are you, like, Thor's long-lost brother or something!?"

Aeternus Vortigern let out a short, amused exhale not quite a laugh, but close. "An interesting assumption." His voice carried a weight behind it, something both Spideys instinctively picked up on. "But no, Odinson and I share no blood." He glanced toward the Asgardian before looking back at them. "As for where I hail from… let's just say I come from a place that no longer exists anymore."

Miles tilted his head. "Well that's very ominous."

Peter crossed his arms. "Yeah, okay, that doesn't exactly make me feel better. time speeds up, zero gravity hits in and everyone freaking out what is going on, until you show up and everything stops."

....

The Avengers, Fantastic Four, and the 2 Spider-Men stood gathered of the towering figure of Aeternus Vortigern, the man responsible for the cataclysmic event that had just shaken Earth to its core after one of the shield agents ask the civilians some questions of what really happened.

While that was happening, Aeternus Vortigern was mentally talking to himself.

'Honestly this feels very weird of being here cause when the god of reincarnation told me I'm going to the marvel universe 616.

I thought I'm going to look at their real life version of the comic, but the world, everyone around and including me completely look like arcane style animation. No matter when i look many parts in new York and the heroes everything feels real and not real at the same time.'

The old man name Steve Rogers who used to be captain America interrupt his thoughts by asking him a question. "Who are you and what are doing on earth?"

Aeternus Vortigern hearing this think of the words captain America spoke. 'Who am i?'

He thinks very fast, trying to come up with an answer to captain America question. Telling him only his name won't be enough of an answer.

So he tries to come up with something that feels convincing, until one franchise he enjoyed come up in his mind and words echoed to his head from a video game he played.

'What is your honor? My honor is my life. What is your fate? My duty is my faith.

What is your fear? My fear is to fail. What is your reward? My salvation is my reward.

What is your craft? My craft is death. What is your pledge? My pledge is eternal service.'

Aeternus Vortigern's mind begin to craft the words through the franchise he enjoyed from his past life. Warhammer 40k while adding a small part from invincible, with Ultimate Kars 205 iq and his own he has come up the perfect introduction in a matter of seconds.

His glowing red eyes bore into Steve Rogers own, his tone laced with power, conviction, and absolute certainty.

"I am Aeternus Vortigern. The Eternal Sovereign. The God Emperor of the imperium and leader of the Coalition of galaxies.

The Bringer of Order, the Breaker of Chains, and the Will that Shapes the Cosmos."

He took another step forward, his massive frame casting a shadow over captain America.

"I am the Anvil upon which empires are reforged. I am the Sword that has cut down tyrants who would dare enslave the innocent and the weak. I have cast down kings, shattered dynasties, and burned the corrupt to ash, those who did heinous crimes and show no sympathy and follow those type of people will face suffering that they want death to take them.

I do not bow. I do not kneel. I do not waver."

The silence after Aeternus Vortigern's proclamation was heavy, the weight of his words pressing down like a thundercloud over the heroes of earth.

Then, of course, Spider-Man broke it

"Okay, that was a solid 10 out of 10 on the villain monologue scale."

Miles rubs the back of his head. "Not gonna lie, he kinda sounds like Doctor Doom if he went full space emperor."

Peter nods. "Right?! Like, I'm waiting for him to say 'kneel before me' or 'mortal insects tremble at my power.'"

Aeternus Vortigern glances at them.

Miles raises his hands. "Hey, no disrespect, big guy, but you gotta admit, that introduction of yours was mad dramatic."

Mentally inside his head Aeternus couldn't understand why. he just given them his greatest introduction, but spiderman of all the hero think he's a villain for speaking like that, what's even worse is that they compared him with dr doom who hated reed, refuses that Reed is smarter than him and had children with sue, the girl he had a crush on?!

However Reed Richards furrowed his brow, as the smartest person on earth and had experience with his allies and friends in space, he never heard anything called Coalition of galaxies. "I've never heard of anything called the Coalition of Galaxies," he said. "You claim to rule an empire that spans across the cosmos, yet there's no record of such a force in this universe."

Odinson speaks up. " you speak as if you know what has happened to me becoming unworthy of Mjolnir, ."

Aeternus Vortigern let out a deep, measured breath know this is going so me made up the story. "That is because I am not of this reality," he stated plainly, his voice carrying the weight of an emperor's decree. "I was not born in this universe, nor was my empire forged under the same stars you look upon.

Where I come from, the Coalition of Galaxies stands as the bulwark against chaos, tyranny, and the corruption that festers in the void. Your universe, however, is… different. But even across the expanse of realities, certain patterns remain the same."

Aeternus looks at Odinson and continued, his voice steady. "A god without his weapon and warrior stripped of his name, I have seen this before. In my reality, you walked this very path. You wielded Mjolnir with pride and fought many enemies to protect the weak, but then came the moment where you could not lift it. Where the hammer rejected you and chose a new warrior who is worthy."

Aeternus Vortigern glance at Jane foster who is now Thor holding Mjolnir.

Odinson expression darkened. "And what exactly caused his fate in your reality?"

"The same as here, I imagine," Aeternus mused. "Something shattered your belief in yourself when a man whisper you words that struck deep. And in that moment, Mjolnir judged you unworthy.

But that doesn't matter anymore because all of you in my reality are dead, killed by the Necrons who conquered many galaxies, so me and my space marines fought against them for several generations to stop them from doing anymore harm in the universe."

This caught most heroes off guard of how they died. but Iron man asks a serious question.

"Alright, Aeternus, you throw the name Necrons. Mind telling us exactly who or what they are because we never heard and encountered them?"

Aeternus Vortigern exhaled deeply, his gaze swept across the assembled heroes and agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. His voice, So Aeternus then explained of how he got here while telling them about the necrons by using the lore he watched in his past life to make it convincing.

"The Necrons… a name cursed throughout my reality. They were once an organic race, beings of flesh and blood, much like yourselves . But their world was harsh, a dying star above them burning their lands and cursing them with short, painful lives. Desperate, they sought a cure for their mortality and turned to forces beyond their understanding."

He stepped forward, his eyes darkening.

"They found their answer in what they called the Celestial Gods, vast entities of raw energy that lurked in the void. These gods whispered promises of eternity, offering them the power to transcend flesh, to become deathless. The Necrons, blinded by desperation, accepted the deal. Their souls were ripped from them, and their minds were cast into hollow metal husks, becoming immortal machines. But they were no longer the masters of their own will. They had become slaves to the very beings they had worshiped."

Old man Steve Rogers narrowed his eyes. "You're saying they sold their souls?"

Aeternus gave a solemn nod. "Yes. And in return, they gained power beyond imagination. Their bodies were reforged into living metal, impervious to time. They wielded weapons that could unmake reality itself, technology that surpassed even the greatest civilizations. They waged wars across the stars, conquering or annihilating anything in their path. But in time, their so-called gods betrayed them. The Necrons, now realizing the depth of their enslavement, turned on their masters, shattering their forms and imprisoning them as fragments, as tools of war."

Reed Richards rubbed his chin, his scientific curiosity overcoming his unease. "If they destroyed their gods, why continue their conquest?"

Aeternus' expression hardened. "Because by then, it was all they knew. They had erased entire civilizations, rewritten the laws of existence, and crushed the wills of countless species. What was left for them? Only the silence of the grave they had built. They went into hibernation, slumbering in their tomb worlds, waiting for the time when the stars would be right when they could rise again and reclaim the universe as theirs."

A heavy silence followed.

Spider-Man speaks up. "Okay… so basically, they're zombie robots with daddy issues who want to make everything dead. Cool. Totally not terrifying at all."

Miles Morales muttered, "I was hoping for something less nightmare-inducing."

Director Hill, arms crossed, studied Aeternus with sharp suspicion. "And you're saying you fought these things?"

Aeternus nodded. "Not just fought. I waged war against them. When they awakened after 65 million years of hibernation,me and my loyal soldiers have fought and exterminate those abominations that desire to destroy everything. After a millenia of brutal war in the cosmos we finally ended most of them.

However, what i didn't expect They had uncovered knowledge that should never have existed."

"The multiverse." Reed Richards said knowing what Aeternus meant.

"Indeed, they sought to tear the very fabric of reality itself, to expand their conquest beyond a single universe. I could not allow that."

The thing starting to put piece together with his rock head. "And that was the reason, you were cast into our world?"

Aeternus exhaled. "Yes. At the height of the war, as I battled their strongest warlords, they have created at machine, during our battle for a millenia, a device meant to fracture the walls between dimensions was activated.

As I struck down their god-forged champion, the energies me and my opponents that were powered by captured gods got released in battle caused the machine to malfunction from its exposure, slowly creating cracks reality itself.

I ordered my brothers to escape the planet so they will not get harm by me, while i try neget it's effects against reality by sealing the machine in a barrier that can seal it off and destroying the remaining necrons trying to escape.

"Until the barrier suppressing the machine couldn't contain the energy any longer. It overloaded—gathering too much power from both the device and my own. The result? A catastrophic chain reaction. A massive explosion tore through the planet. I was caught in the blast and thrown into one of the dimensional rifts trying to seal itself shut. Just as I passed through, the rift closed behind me trapping the surge of energy and sealing everything away.

I was inside a void didn't know how long was i in, but I felt a surge of energy from a particular spot in the void as if something is being reset. So I use my power to travel that location and landed to this very spot I arrived."

Ironman sighed, shaking his head before looking at Aeternus Vortigern.

"Okay, so let me get this straight you're some kind of galactic emperor with a giant space empire from another reality. You got here because the remaining god level threat robots have created a machine to travel through realities, but you and your army try to stop them and your battle with their few elites powered by the captured gods energy cause the machine to malfunction. it destroyed the planet they build their machine in and all your enemies died. but except you because you got sucked into a rift which cause a big side affect to our world."

"Indeed."

It wasn't the heroes that are hearing this, many citizens were also listening, some pull out their phones recording this and others take pictures.

Maria Hill, standing with her arms crossed, narrowed her eyes at Aeternus Vortigern. She wasn't amused. She had seen warlords, conquerors, emperors and so-called "gods" before, and every single one of them thought they had the right to dictate the fate of others.

Maria Hill speaks up.

"That's a hell of a story you've got there, 'God-Emperor.' I've dealt with dictators before and usually the kind that want to 'bring order' by stepping on everyone who doesn't agree with them. Since you traveled here after your battle with them, are you planning to take over earth."

She didn't flinch under his gaze. She'd faced worse. And if this so-called "Eternal Sovereign" thought he could just walk in and intimidate her world, he had another thing coming.

Aeternus scoffs. "As you must know, why would I waste my time in one planet where I can go to multiple planets that has problems.

You already have strong warriors to deal with threats while many planets and civilizations in the universe doesn't have people like you who are born with power to be saviors and destroyers."

While everyone are trying to process what they just heard from their visitor, who is called the god emperor and leader the Coalition of Galaxies from another reality.

Tony Stark's helmet retracted, exposing his face as he answered an urgent call from the President. The moment he heard the panicked voice on the other end, his expression darkened.

"Wait what? All of it? That can't be right," Stark muttered, pacing slightly as he listened. The others could hear the agitated tone of the world leader barking orders through the comm.

Steve Rogers, standing beside him, narrowed his eyes. "What is it, Stark?"

Iron Man sighed and ended the call, rubbing his forehead. "That was the President. Every single bit of harvested food and processed goods on the planet is completely rotted. Canned goods? Expired. Grains in storage? Dust. Frozen food? Spoiled. It's like a century of time passed in an instant for everything that wasn't alive."

The heroes processed that grim reality in silence.

Reed Richards, his mind already calculating the implications, crossed his arms.

"That means every country on the planet just lost its emergency food reserves. The world's infrastructure wasn't prepared for this. Famine will spread within days."

Johnny Storm sighed, trying to mask his unease. "Great. First, time skips like a broken record, and now we're in a global food crisis."

Peter Parker, still shaken, took a step forward. "Wait hold on, hold on. If only non-living things decayed, does that mean livestock and plants are fine?"

Reed nodded. "Most likely. Animals and growing crops would have skipped ahead in time but wouldn't have aged unnaturally. The problem is…farming and distribution take time. We don't have stored food to hold people over."

Odinson grip tightened on his axe as he glared at Aeternus. "Everyone are goingto starve because of you."

Aeternus Vortigern remained motionless, his glowing red eyes regarding them like one would observe children complaining about an outcome beyond their control.

"You speak as if this was some meaningless act of destruction," Aeternus said, his voice deep and measured. "But what has been lost was nothing more than the weakness of this world of time couldn't handle my presence."

Steve stepped forward, fists clenched. "Weakness? Billions of innocent people are about to starve."

Meanwhile Aeternus Vortigern mentally talk to himself.

'Look you bastards, what am I supposed to do? Go to court to take charges for causing this that I didn't know will happen!? You know what, fuck it im going to speak facts of how people wasted food, also because most people on earth are fucking idiots for hating on mutants and heroes cause they possess powers and they fucking don't.'

Aeternus didn't speak those words out loud but keep his cool and tilted his head slightly. "Then let them act. This world has grown on wasting many food of being full or just spoiled and many didn't help struggling people and poor countries by sending alot more food to feed the starving, it's about time they learn the consequences."

"Wow. That's the most Dr doom monologue- thing I've heard today," Spider-Man muttered, rubbing his temples.

Tony sighed, rubbing his forehead. "Alright, big guy. You clearly think this was some divine lesson, but let me spell it out for you: You just threw civilization into complete chaos. Governments will collapse, economies will crash, and people will kill each other over scraps. We need a solution right now."

While everyone was contemplating of what are they going to do, Aeternus wanted to leave but that will just make him the villain to arrest or potentially murder him.

So there's one thing he is going to do and what is he's going to do? Restore the food by using his sword that the god of reincarnation forged by using 2 doomed universes which that one universe that has traces of heaven Ascension Dio powers.

Aeternus isn't sure it will be enough so he's going to use Broly's legendary ssj peak power to amplify it, but not without adding a few changes for the restoration.

The tension in the air was suffocating. The Avengers, the Fantastic Four, and Spider-Man stood on edge, as they feel a gusts of coming out of Aeternus Vortigern. His body envelop by a gold and green aura.

He slowly lifted his sword, its blade shimmering with an otherworldly radiance. The very fabric of reality trembled as crimson red glow surged around it, crackling with the raw, primal force of his Legendary Super Saiyan. The air itself became heavy, thick with an unimaginable divine power of his sword.

The earth beneath them quaked as a brilliant pillar of red energy erupted from the blade, stretching into the sky, illuminating the entire city like a second sun. The heavens rippled, space itself bending under the sheer magnitude of his will.

And then it spread.

A pulse of power swept across the planet, an invisible shockwave of restoration. In an instant, 70% of the world's lost food supply was miraculously restored. Fields of grain reappeared, their golden stalks standing tall once more. Warehouses that had been filled with nothing but dust now held half of what they once did. Meat that had turned to rot became fresh again.

But he gives poor countries 100% of their food restored while the rest 70%.

The world felt it. Nations, farmers, and citizens alike gasped in confusion as food supplies that had been completely wiped out suddenly reappeared, but is not nearly completely restored as some are dried or rotten.

Iron Man's helmet lit up with an incoming call from the President again. Tony put him on speaker, expecting the worst.

"**Stark! The food—**it's back!! What the hell is going on?!"

Tony turned his gaze to Aeternus, still holding his sword high. The green glow around him slowly faded, leaving only the silent weight of the moment behind.

The self-proclaimed god emperor lowered his sword and met their eyes with an impassive stare.

"I restored 70% of the earth's stored and harvested food, that is all I'm going to do."

The heroes remained silent, absorbing the weight of his words.

"That's it?" Old Steve Rogers asked, his voice calm but firm. "You had the power to restore all of it, and you only did 70 percent?"

Aeternus nodded, unbothered by the outrage in their voices. "A test must have consequences. If I restore everything, your people will forget like nothing ever happened.

They will return to complacency, thinking heroes, governments and gods will always clean up after them." His eyes gleamed with judgment. "This will give little force for your people to adapt."

Before anyone could stop him, Aeternus Vortigern uses legendary ssj power to fly away at incredible speeds not wanting to stay much longer as he travels to the sky.

Some of the heroes want to go after him but stop by Ironman, Steve Rogers and Maria Hill.

When he disappeared from everyone sight Maria Hill speaks her voice lace with suspicion.

"Even though he told us his story how he got here, i still don't trust him."

"Me nether, especially how the world drastically change from time speeding up and having zero gravity, just by coming here and everything when he landed here is something we should not ignore."

Captain marvel said looking at the sky where Aeternus took off.

Miles Morales as spiderman speaks up. "Look I know that guy doesn't want to conquer earth but I don't want him near my family. I'm going home to check on them."

Spider man also agrees but not speaking aunt may name because citizens might hear and figure out his identity.

"Yeah.. I'm going to check on someone to see they are okay and go back to handle my business, later."

*THWIP*

Both Spider-Men shoot their webs and swing to their own direction, while agents of S.H.I.E.L.D and heroes help the civilians and check there's no injuries. Still thinking of Aeternus Vortigern wondering if he's an enemy or ally.

.....

Meanwhile Aeternus Vortigern is flying up faster than light speeds as he goes straight out of earth's orbit. Not worrying of getting the ultimate Kars treatment, since the armor he's wearing has the traces of Moro, merged zamasu and Omni king power in it, that literally makes him immune to space side affects.

He looks around to see the moon in the distance.

"There you are.."

Aeturnes instantly fly towards the moon and lands on it.

After landing he closes his eyes trying to sense something, he sense many life in one area, but thats not what's he's looking for, he keeps his eyes close a while longer till sensing a presence in a distance, standing 1 spot alone not moving.

"So you are actually here and know im coming for you."

Aeternus Vortigern muttered to himself and was about to walk forward, until a bright of blue light not too far on his right and emerged from that light 8 figures appeared 7 humanoid and one a big bull dog with a crown.

Aeternus Vortigern sighs. "Great, the inhumans and their teleporting dog are here."
