Grandpa Universe In Multiverse

Natasha elbowed Leonidas, "Can all wizards do this?"

"No, only him. I\'ve yet to see someone as strong as him in wizardry." He replied.

"What about you?" She asked.

"I am a long way from reaching that level. But I will surely reach it someday." He stated.

They had both been on many missions together and had grown pretty close. Though they were still not officially a couple, but everyone already treated them like they were.

Natasha suddenly remembered something, "You remember I told you about my home in Russia once. Well, I\'ll be going there. Would you like to... come with me?" She stuttered like she was hiding something.

Leonidas understood and simply nodded showing his kind smile. "Of course I\'ll go with you, Nat."

Their focus was brought back as the rain stopped and the sun was back again. Smooth calm wind touched their faces making them smell the scent of the plants around them.

Alexander looked at the cameras and spoke, "I advise all the countries in the world to not impose import duties on all the food I\'ll be sending. It will only be distributed by Kindheart to all the poor people at a low price. Remember, I am not doing this to fill your coffers. Thank you."

Then he opened portals to various countries from where he had hired workers to work in the farms. He made various towns besides farms in some distances. He was generating jobs while feeding people and nothing could be better than this. A Seraph would be keeping an eye on all the dealings there as well.

Feeling satisfied, he looked at everyone. "Guys, the work here is done. Let\'s go back."

The plane came down from the sky and opened its hatch in front of them for them to get on.

Steve came to Alexander, "Thank you for working so hard, sir. This is my first time seeing someone seriously thinking about people without looking at their nationality or race. You just look at them as only human."

"Steve, once you look at Earth from space, you only see one small blue marble and no borders. It\'s the borders that differentiate us. But no matter what we do, in the end, we will still have the same DNA and red blood. Remember, in the eyes of the creator, all are born the same. Their deeds are what decide whether they are good or bad." He gave his two cents. Some journalists recorded his words.

Alexander then looked at Natasha and Leo. "What about you love birds? What have you been up to?"

His words made both of them blush in embarrassment. "Nothing, Dad. Just the usual work. By the way, the Director wanted to have a word with you. He said they found some strange house with a book. It has something to do with dark magic."

Alexander recognized his attempt to change the topic and let it go, "I\'ll go and check it out. I probably already know what it is."

Tony was surprisingly calm the whole way. Unknown to everyone what was going on in his mind. ~Old man is doing so much for the world. I should too. He has already taken care of the food. I think I should start working on a large arc reactor. Maybe create my own Energy company and give electricity at a very cheap cost.~ he thought.

Soon, the plane landed back in New York and the journalists ran towards their offices to upload the footage first.

...

Asgard,

Odin was happy with his life. His two sons had not made any trouble in a while. His daughter was living a happy and good life. His other children behaved well. The Asgard was safe. So he usually went into his Odin sleep to just relax and watch over the 9 realms.

But today, he saw something that he never wanted to. Something so dreadful that his eyes open with an already bloodshot red color. His breathing became hard.

He loudly shouted while looking at the ceiling like he saw something else. "Godheads, the Fourth Host is arriving. Prepare to Defend,"

It was known that the Celestials had their involvement in the creation of humans and other branches. The hosts were nothing but Celestials going to Worlds they worked on at various intervals to pass the judgment of whether the species should be left alive or be annihilated. It was like a test.

What they looked for was a new evolution. To see a species stand out to become stronger. Their 3rd Host came a thousand years ago. At that point, all the godheads united under the leadership of Odin, Zeus, and Hindu God, Vishnu.

They confronted the Third Host but the Celestials threatened to seal off the inter-dimensional passages between the god\'s realms and Earth unless the gods did not interfere with the Celestials\' activities for a millennium. Acting on behalf of Earth\'s gods, Odin, Zeus, and Vishnu agreed with their terms, but Odin already began making plans for the Fourth Host, which would arrive about a millennium later.

~I should inform Alex about this. Maybe he can stop them.~ he thought.

...

Alexander was currently on his way to SHIELD Headquarters. Fury had come back down from Helicarrier as he got bored with it. It hindered his maneuverability.

Reaching the place. He saw some guards patrolling on his Hoverbikes. It was still in the testing phase though.

"Glad you came so soon. Right this way," Fury appeared with his regular plain face.

"What\'s going on?" He asked.

"I sent Agent Coulson on a mission to track down a scientist couple. He got into the house and found a strange book. He touched it and nearly got possessed by it if not for your mind protection amulets. We suspect it\'s something magical. On a darker spectrum." Fury briefed.

"Did you bring the book?" He asked.

"No, we couldn\'t. We thought of using robots to pick it up and bring it back but all electrical appliances don\'t work near it." He said.

Alexander nodded, "Magic and Tech never go hand in hand. Alright, give me the address, I\'ll take a look.\'

Fury did give it but also gave a word of caution, "Be careful, sir. If you get possessed and go on a rampage. I don\'t think anyone will be able to stop you."

"Haha... Don\'t worry. I have a way to purify dark things. Where did Carol go by the way?" He asked.

"She went back to space. Probably to protect some species." He answered.

"Good, then I\'ll be on my way. I will inform you if I am successful in dealing with it." as soon as he said that he vanished.

...

He appeared near the house the book was in. He hadn\'t even entered the place and was already feeling a dark feeling. It was like a lot of hatred was sealed in the house.

He entered the house and walked to where the book was. The moment he looked at it he knew what it was.

"Darkhold" He exclaimed.

He knew its origin as well. Eons ago, the evil Elder God known as Chthon was forced to flee the Earth from Demogorge, the God-Eater. Before doing so, he put into writing all his evil works and spells on indestructible parchment. Originally written on flesh before being transcribed to stone and later a collection of parchments, often referred to as the Chthon Scrolls.

The pages were later bound together into a tome known as "the Darkhold", also called the Shiatra Book of the Damned, or The Book of Sins. It has served as the source for other spellbooks, such as the Necronomicon. Chthon left these scrolls on Earth so that it may always serve as a conduit to the Earth-Realm for Chthon\'s influence and power.

It was sought by many people in history, including Johann Schmidt and Nick Fury. No wonder Fury called him so fast. If the book had gotten into someone evil\'s hands then it would have been cataclysmic.

"Can I purify it?" He thought and walked to it.

~Come to me. The secrets of the world are in front of you. Just open and read.~ whispers started to come from the book.

"Why the hell do all the bad guys include this feature in their dark accessories? Any sane man would get alerted with these voices." He thought.

He opened the first page and on it was Chthon\'s image. It felt so real. Mostly the eyes. Then he felt like his Occlumency Shield just got attacked. He realized that the book was trying to possess him. So he closed it and put it in his dimensional pocket.
