The city lies in ruins, its charred remnants a testament to the battle that raged within its once-thriving streets. The air still hums with residual energy, crackling with the aftermath of your victory. But beneath the triumph, there is a silence — a deep, lingering silence that presses against your mind, urging you to step forward, to move on.
The Celestial's words resonate in your ears, heavy like an anchor. You've made your choice. You've embraced the path of the Omni-Mimicry, and with it, you've bound yourself to something far larger than yourself. The multiverse is now at your fingertips, its countless realms waiting to be explored, to be conquered.
And yet, the weight of it all — the responsibility, the potential — feels like a crushing force pressing against your chest. But there is no turning back. You know this. You can feel it deep within you, like a promise made to the very fabric of reality.
The First Step
You take a deep breath, letting the air fill your lungs, and for a moment, you simply stand there, taking in the vastness of your surroundings. You've always dreamed of exploring the unknown, to witness the mysteries of the multiverse firsthand. But now that the possibility is in your hands, you feel a strange sense of hesitation.
What's next?
Where do you even begin?
The thought weighs on you for a moment, but only a moment. A flash of understanding flickers in your mind. There is only one thing you need to do.
You need to ascend.
The blade in your hand pulses with power, its aura shifting in time with your thoughts. It is not just a weapon anymore. It is an extension of you — your will, your essence. With it, you could reshape the multiverse itself.
A Choice Between Realms
Closing your eyes, you extend your senses outward, letting your mind drift into the vast ocean of possibilities. You can feel them all, the countless worlds stretching out before you. It's overwhelming, yet exhilarating. Each world is like a door waiting to be opened, each one brimming with untold potential.
And then, a thought strikes you. Which world should you visit first?
The Marvel Universe? Its heroes and villains are legendary, their battles shaping the course of history. With your powers, you could replicate the abilities of its greatest figures — the Avengers, the X-Men, even the gods themselves. But what if its conflicts become too much to handle? What if you find yourself caught in a war that you're not prepared for?
Or perhaps you should step into the DC Universe, with its pantheon of gods and monsters. The sheer scope of power in that world is staggering. You could challenge beings like Superman, Wonder Woman, or even Darkseid. But what would it cost? The DC Universe is a place where the stakes are high, and the consequences of failure are often catastrophic.
There are so many choices. So many paths. Each one could lead to greatness — or to ruin.
But the omniversal wanderer in you knows that the first step is the most important. You need to choose a world, but not just any world. You need to choose the one that will test you, that will push you to your limits and beyond. Only then can you truly understand the nature of your power.
A Decision is Made
You breathe deeply, centering yourself. The decision is simple now.
You close your eyes and visualize the worlds that stand before you — the heroes, the villains, the sprawling cities and ancient realms. With a deep breath, you focus on one world, one place that calls to you above all others. A place where chaos and order intertwine, where powers clash and collide in an eternal dance of destruction and creation.
The Marvel Universe.
You can feel it in your core — this is where you will begin. This is where you will test your powers, where you will begin to shape your destiny. You'll face challenges that will stretch you to your limits. You'll meet beings who rival even your newly acquired strength.
But there is a quiet certainty in your mind. You are ready for whatever awaits. You must be.
With a single thought, the blade in your hand flashes, its energy swirling around you in a vortex of light. The air around you vibrates, the very fabric of space and time bending at your will. You can feel the universe's vastness, its infinite potential stretching out before you.
The Portal Opens
A rift tears open in the sky before you, its edges shimmering with cosmic energy. It is not like the rifts you've encountered before. This one is different. It feels alive, humming with the pulse of the multiverse itself. You stare at it for a long moment, your heart pounding in your chest, the weight of what you're about to do sinking in.
This is it. The first world. The first step on your journey to the heights of power.
Without hesitation, you step forward, your body passing through the rift as if it were nothing more than a veil. The air shifts around you, the space-time continuum bending as you're pulled through the multiverse, the colors and lights blurring into a kaleidoscope of sensation.
And then — silence.
You land on solid ground with a soft thud, the world around you coming into sharp focus. You look around and find yourself standing in a bustling metropolis. Towering skyscrapers rise into the sky, their glass surfaces reflecting the sun's rays. Vehicles zip by at breakneck speeds, and people walk hurriedly along the streets, their faces lost in thought.
It's a world that feels both familiar and alien. A place where anything is possible. The Marvel Universe.
And you are here. At the beginning of it all.
The First Encounter
Your senses are heightened, every detail of the world around you sharp and clear. You can feel the pulse of power within you, the energy of the Omni-Mimicry humming softly in your veins. You know that you are no longer a mere observer. You are a force in this world, a potential waiting to be unleashed.
But before you can act, you feel it — the first presence. It's subtle, at first, just a ripple in the air, but it's growing. Someone or something is approaching, and you instinctively reach for the blade at your side.
And then, a voice — familiar, yet distant.
"Well, well. Looks like we have a new player in town."
The air crackles with electricity, and from the shadows, a figure steps forward. You recognize him immediately.
Tony Stark.
The Iron Man himself.
