The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

Chapter 371 - Zealots And Dormammu...



[POV Reo]

Eventually, I had to postpone my date with Hela because the two of us had spent all of our time chatting with each other… Hela said that she wanted to visit her dear mother along with her brother… so, we decided to have our date tomorrow morning.

Now, I was completely free so I decided to visit Flavia, after all, I had promised her to deal with the Zealots and a promise is a promise… with that thought, I arrived inside Flavia\'s room in Kamar Taj, but surprisingly… she wasn\'t here.

I pulled out my phone and texted Flavia… she said that she will be back in a few minutes… so I decided to wait while lazing around… I was still in my armour… Thankfully, my armour was quite comfortable. Just like Flavia had said, she arrived after a few minutes with two KFC buckets and two cola bottles in her hand.

"Since I was bringing some food for myself… I decided to bring some for you too…" Flavia said and placed the buckets and cola bottle on the table… All of a sudden, she froze and looked at me intently.

"You seem to be very different today… why can\'t I feel your energy?" Flavia questioned with a curious look on her face.

"Well… I finally absorbed the Ego Stone today and now, I am back to my former glory… now I have to rein in my powers for the safety of everyone around me…" I said dismissively and picked up one of the KFC buckets she had brought…

"Is this really KFC?" I asked her while pointing towards the chicken bucket… I didn\'t know that KFC had chicken popcorn like this…

"No… technically it is from KFC but I bought these from a fast food stall…" Flavia said with a grin and sat down on the opposite side of the table… "Why don\'t you try some… it\'s really good" Flavia finished with a grin and picked up her own bucket.

"Sure, why not" I said and followed Flavia\'s example… hmm… they are really nice… but why the fuck are they so spicy… this might be the spiciest I have ever eaten… it wasn\'t a problem for me but that didn\'t change the fact that it was spicy as hell. "What is this called?" I asked Flavia who was calmly munching on the chicken popcorn.

"Firecracker Chicken" Flavia said and continued to munch on them with a calm look on her face… "Today I got a surprise visit" Flavia said while eating the chicken popcorn.

"From whom?" I asked her curiously.

"From our guests…" Flavia said and I already understood who she meant… "They were quite an interesting bunch… I have also given them some information about you… trying to dissuade them from committing suicide… I hope you don\'t mind?" Flavia asked me and I simply shrugged.

"It doesn\'t matter, to be honest, they are inconsequential… if they refrain from joining the war then they will stay alive or they will simply become unnecessary casualties…" I said dismissively and Flavia nodded her head in understanding.

"That is why I warned them… I knew that you wouldn\'t go after them if they didn\'t join the war…" Flavia said and picked up a cola bottle.

"Well, Rumi and Hela had called dibs on their whole group…" I said and shrugged once again… only now have I noticed that I have finished the chicken popcorn. Yes, it happens with delicious things…

"I haven\'t interacted with this Hela so I don\'t know much about her… is she your new lover?" Flavia asked and I simply nodded my head. I guess no one knows much about Hela because Odin had destroyed all of her records from history.

"...Well, I have been putting this off because I have been busy… Flavia, let\'s go and take care of those Zealots…" I said after a few moments of silence and picked up the cola bottle. Flavia was immediately excited and somewhat saddened after hearing my words.

"...Sure, let\'s go… Do you need my help or can you locate them on your own?" Flavia asked me and I simply shook my head. With my Omnipresence, I have already located them… I had to simply locate Dormammu and the Zealots had a connection with him so finding the Zealots wasn\'t that hard.

"You don\'t have to worry about all that… I have already located them… you simply need to sit back and enjoy the ride…" I said and the both of us found ourselves standing in the air. I finally finished my cola and Hakai\'d the bottle.

"Where are we?" Flavia asked dryly. "That was a really gross misuse of your power" Flavia pointed out with a thin smile on her face.

"What? I am protecting Earth… waste disposal is going to be a huge problem in the future" I defended myself and then turned back towards the city beneath us. "We are currently above the city of Hong Kong…" I said while pointing towards the huge buildings… They were quite far from us but still visible… all of them had Chinese signs all over them.

"So, they have been hiding in Hong Kong all along…" Flavia said in a slightly surprised tone.

"I don\'t know about the past… but I think that they were planning to attack the Hong Kong Sanctum" I said and Flavia simply frowned. "Come on let\'s go and greet th…" before I could finish Flavia cut me off.

"Just kill them… I don\'t want to meet them…" Flavia said with a hardened look on her face… well, all of them have been her students once… so, it might be hard for her… with a simple thought the whole building was surrounded by a purple glow only after a second, the whole building disintegrated into nothingness.

Flavia opened a portal beside us and appeared in front of the empty space… she leaned down and touched the ground… I don\'t know what she was doing but I floated down and stood near her but I didn\'t disturb her…

"Even though they had lost their path… they were still my students… as their teacher, I had to bid them farewell" Flavia said softly. "Let\'s go and take care of Dormammu… with him gone, I will be able to rest in peace" Flavia said and turned around so that she could look into my eyes.

I nodded my head and a portal appeared beside me… both Flavia and I entered the portal together and the two of us found ourselves inside the Dark Dimension… I could feel the Dark Force in this place… and I also felt a strong presence approaching us… I surrounded Flavia inside a space barrier and stopped reining in my power.

I sensed that the being faltered as soon as I released my powers… the being was none other than Dormammu… it stood completely still for a few moments until it decided to turn tail… "Looks like our host has decided to run away" I mused out loud and the next moment both Flavia and I found ourselves in front of Dormammu who was running away… sensing us, he stopped.

"...God of Destruction… I have do not have any quarrel with you… why have invaded my dimension?" Dormammu asked… I could see some fear inside his smoky eyes… he was scared but he was trying to act like he was the bigshot between the two of us.

"Eh… but you were the one who invaded my dimension at first… this is simply retaliation…" I said with a grin on my face and the smoky face of Dormammu frowned.

"Your dimension?" Dormammu asked, looking genuinely confused… I could see the confusion on his smokey face.

"Yes, Earth… why don\'t you tell her Flavia" I said while looking towards Flavia… She was looking somewhat surprised when she saw us interacting in such a manner.

Dormammu\'s smoky yellow eyes narrowed on Flavia and a scowl formed on his face… "You thief…!!" Dormammu snarled in rage but with just a wave of my hand, Dormammu was blasted away.

"Don\'t get too high of yourself… you are still existing because I am allowing you to exist" I said and released some of my power and the whole realm shuddered due to that… Dormammu simply cowered in fear when he sensed my power.

"So what do you have to say for yourself?" I asked and Dormammu decided to keep his mouth shut.

"Fine… be like that" I said and pointed my hand towards his smoky body. Seeing my point my palm towards him… he attacked with the Dark Force… waves and waves of Dark Force were sent in our direction but I dispersed them using my Reality powers.

That was a good attack… the strongest attack I have ever seen in this life but having the power to change reality is really Overpowered. Seeing me disperse his attack like nothing… he launched beams of Dark Force in my direction from his eyes… this time I didn\'t even bother to stop the attack and simply swatted it away like nothing with my hand.

"Are you done?" I asked in clear disdain and pointed my palm towards him once again… Dormammu\'s smoky eyes grew wide in fear.

"Wait…!!" he must have noticed what I was about to do so yelled out in fear but it was too late for him… he should have expected this from the beginning.

"Hakai" as soon as the word left my mouth… the gigantic body of Dormammu was surrounded by a purple glow… and only after a second… Dormammu disintegrated into nothingness. Now that Dormammu was dead… we no longer needed to be here so with a simple thought, both Flavia and I were back inside her room.

"That was pretty anti-climatic… I was expecting more resistance from him" Flavia said with a thoughtful look on her face.

(A/N: Now before complaining why is she still alive… please read this. I have seen a lot of readers and writers make this mistake… the Ancient One is drawing power from the Dark Dimension, not Dormammu so killing Dormammu won\'t kill her).

"You don\'t know, but his first attack could have destroyed Earth several times over…" I deadpanned and Flavia\'s eyes grew wide in understanding.

"Then I guess it is good that he is dead…" Flavia mused and a solemn look appeared on her face. "Now… I can die peacefully…" Flavia said with a small smile on her face.

"Don\'t you want to train Strange…?" I asked her and she simply shook her head.

"His fate is to become the greatest Sorcerer Supreme but now, I don\'t need to be a part of it… I simply want to take a vacation and relax… but as know… this is a borrowed life, I could never enjoy myself…" Flavia said with a melancholic look on her face.

"Thank you for everything you have done for me, Itsuki Reo… I hope that I can have friends like you, Luna, Momo, and Fleur in my next life…" Flavia said with a smile and sat down… "I wouldn\'t mind meeting all of you in my next life too… Goodbye, tell Luna that I will miss her" Flavia said and closed her eyes.

I felt that she severed her connection with the Dark Dimension… a few seconds passed and Flavia opened her eyes with a surprised look on her face… "Eh…?? Why am I still alive?" She asked with a confused look on her face and I simply grinned...
