Chapter 45 - Conqueror Of Worlds

Chronyca-2 was a planet that revolved around a star in Cygnus system. It was the homeworld of Chronicoms, an extremely advanced and ancient race of synthetic, semi-robotic beings that roamed around in the galaxy as observers.

Today, like any other day, life continued as usual on Chronyca-2. However, unknown to anyone, a few star destroyers and dozens of cruisers were parked out in the space not far from the planet.

Kol sat atop the throne in the destroyer in the front, holding a scepter in his hand that emitted a faint white glow from the top.

On his right stood Sif, and on his left stood Qovas, who used to be one of the six leaders of the Confederacy, and the representative of Remorath.

Qovas was fiercely loyal to Confederacy, but at the same time, he was a true warrior, willing to die for honor. Such a person either made the worst enemy or the most loyal subordinate.

Qovas followed Kol because he had hope. Hope that one day the Confederacy would be revived. That as long as he was alive, an opportunity would eventually present itself, and Kol was very well versed in how to take advantage of such false hope he was the one who let him believe it in the first place.

Looking at the planet below, Kol spoke, "This is my first battle in this world, and the first battle you'll win for me, but let's try with minimum losses.".

"In this world", what did it mean? - Qovas had long figured that out. Hearing Kol's words, a flash of hope subconsciously flashed in his eyes that didn't go unnoticed by Kol.

What would happen in a scenario where a dictator who forcefully ruled over people with fear chose to just walk away one day? - That wasn't even a question.

That kingdom would break apart, dissolve much faster than it was built, and even those few truely loyal would start having second thoughts. They would be incapable of stopping the raging masses.

At least that was the common sense, or what SHOULD happen.

Unfortunately, poor Qovas made the mistake of considering himself and his kind as "public".

The Norns and the Dwarves were truly loyal to Kol, and their numbers were much greater than these Confederacy soldiers.

But for now, Everyone had their advantages and disadvantages.

The Norns weren't battle-ready yet. Just a few months ago, they were nothing but savages. They did not know how to operate spaceships.

The Dwarves were still getting used to the new way of life, plus they couldn't be used in battle because of their low numbers.

On the other hand, after hearing Kol's words, a complicated expression flashed upon Sif's face.

Seeing their reactions, Kol nodded to himself. He was satisfied with this development.

He raised the scepter and tapped it lightly on the floor, "Bang!", the light coming from it intensified.

Kol commanded, "Prepare the communication packages to land. We'll attempt a hack first. Send in the fighters for support.", then he turned his gaze away from the planet, "Sif, you'll lead them personally.", he told her.

Kol was using The White to hide his fleet.

To the Chronicom sensory systems that were on the lookout, one moment it was just cold dark space, while hundreds of starfighters appeared out of nowhere the next moment, with a woman they recognized as Lady Sif leading them.

Alarms immediately started ringing all over the planet as they deployed their fighters to meet them.

Sif flew in the front, surrounded by a white glow, right towards Chronyca-2, while hundreds of starfighters like bees followed closely behind her.

One group launched a direct ȧssault, while the rest retreated towards the orbit of the planet.

Although there weren't many of these satellites, Chronicoms were very advanced, and they seemed to have been designed for this purpose alone.

Faced with dozens of laser attacks, Sif paused and used The White to conjure up a giant energy shield.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Sizzle!", the energy shield successfully blocked the attack, but lasers were continuous, and cracks were already visible in it.

At this rate, Sif wouldn't be able to advance and her shield would give out eventually.

Plus she couldn't cover all her allies, "Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!", the starfighters on the flanks were getting mowed down.

But they were in space, and they had the numerical advantage.

Eventually, a large group of starfighters managed to get behind them.

The rest was obvious. With the support provided from the back, Sif dropped the shield, and attacked together with the others, "Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!", the enemy satellites were defeated one by one.

The Chronicom forces were already coming, and their numbers were overwhelming. Thousands of starfighters flew out from the planet below.

Seeing this scene, the Remorath, who were well known for their ruthless nature, now seemed demoralized, pessimistic.

Seeing such disadvantageous odds, Sif paused, "Close up together! Come close! Package to the middle! Make haste.", she commanded.

Then just as the two sides were about to get in each other's range, the space around Sif shook.

She was already close enough to teleport straight into the planet's atmosphere. Their numbers wouldn't matter as long as the communication package reached Chronyca-2.

Unfortunately, just as she was about to succeed, the second group of enemy's satellites that had retreated before at the beginning of the battle had arrived near the planet.

They ȧssembled into a formation and cooperated with the giant signal towers on the ground to form up an orange-colored force field all around the planet.

This force field blocked Sif's teleportation.

The space around her shook, but nothing happened.

In this desperate moment, "HAAA!!", with a loud battle cry, Sif used her 'star tiara' to summon more Kolforce.

Then flew forward towards the enemy fighters and used The White to stop them.

One-third of the enemy forces were surrounded by a giant blue bubble and stopped moving, like all motion there was impeded.

All potential energy was suċkėd in by this bubble, leaving the Chronicom fighters unable to move.

In space, there's no resistance to motion, so a velocity once attained remains constant.

Sucking out all the potential energy from Chronicom fighters stopped their motion which was attained by their thrusters.

These fighters were very high-tech, so even if they didn't use gas, but pure energy pressure as the propelling force, the pressure could no longer be converted into motion.

Seeing such a scene, the rest two-thirds of the enemy forces very cautiously avoided the blue aura bubble and then focussed all their attention on Sif, who was clearly the biggest threat.

But she wasn't done yet.

Then, "Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!", the enemy fighters exploded one by one.

The only limit to The White was imagination. So Sif just transferred all the suċkėd-out potential energy directly into the energy cores of individual fighters, thereby destabilizing them.

Now with a moment of respite, "Form up and attack! Attack! Fire everything...", Sif hurriedly commanded the Remorath starfighters to charge ahead.

Then she spread The White all around the package, and with a bright glow, it disappeared into thin air.

In fact, it only shrunk down, becoming smaller, easy enough for her to carry, like Ant-Man's Pym particles.

Then with a warcry, "HAAAh!", she flew forward and joined the battle.

Sif swung her arm forward, using The White to create an invisible blade that flew ahead and cut down three enemy fighters coming at her from the front.

Then she bent down, dodging the laser from the right, and pointed her left hand at the enemy. In response, a giant hole was made in it, like from a giant invisible spear.

The battle continued like this. It was bloody, and explosions were going off everywhere, casualties increasing every second on both sides.

On the other hand, Chronyca-2 was already done preparing. They sent out two cruisers that were approaching the battlefield from the other side of the planet.

Seeing that the odds were not in their favor, Sif teleported right outside the force field, hoping to breach through it physically.

But it proved to be more difficult than she had imagined.

In the end, seeing that the Chronicom cruisers were approaching the battlefield and their own warships were still clocked with no intention of joining the battle yet, she was forced to use The Red.

Surrounded by a burning red glow, "HAAAHH!!", she finally managed to push through.

Kol opened his eyes and commanded, "Alright! Sif has created enough distraction, and the Chronicoms have shown their cards. It's time! Prepare the rest of our forces, and ready the PHT drives.".

Qovas bowed respectfully, "As you wish.", and left to do what he was told.

PHT drives were the Phasic Harmonic Teleportation drives. It was originally the Confederacy's technology, but the Dwarves improved it even further.

Still, they were not advanced enough to breach through the orange force field that was designed to prevent all forms of teleportation.

Kol tapped the scepter lightly on the floor, "Bang!", using The White to forcefully increase the teleportation qualities of the PHT drives, overcharging them beyond their limits.

Vibranium was an amazing element, not only in its most stable form that was found in Wakanda but also in its various isotopes.

In comics, one of these isotopes, called Vibranium B or S.L.V (Savage Land Vibranium), was found only in the isolated region of Antarctica known as the Savage Land.

Vibranium B was also known as Anti-Metal due to its opposite effects to Wakandan Vibranium.

It emanated vibrations which caused the atomic and molecular bonds in nearby metals of other kinds to weaken, resulting in the liquefaction of nearby solid metals.

It also produced protective counter vibrations which could throw off sonic attacks. Its unique properties could also be used to create dimensional apertures to other realities with the right vibrational attunement.

With Kol's knowledge, combined with all the hard work the Dwarves had put into it, they finally managed to manufacture Vibranium B.

Just as Sif breached through the barrier, Kol succeeded in teleporting the Vibranium B packages onto all possible places of interest revealed until now.

Chronicoms were a race that relied heavily upon technology, not to mention they were synthetic, to begin with.

Cylindrical objects suddenly appeared on several locations on the planet and immediately disintegrated into Nanites that flew into the nearby mechanical structures.

Afterward, it was all Hell breaking lose.

Be it the underground laser cannons that they were hoping to surprise them with, or the squadrons of Chronicom Hunters ready to use their Inter-Planetary Conveyance Discs to teleport directly into their warships when they de-cloaked to launch a surprise attack, as soon as the Ninites came near them, they all disintegrated, instantaneously.

The satellites had to cooperate with the towers on the ground to maintain the orange force field around the planet. So as soon as the towers were destroyed, the force field went down.

At the same time, Kol finally de-cloaked their warships and joined the battle, launching an all-out attack, while sending out the rest of the Ramorath fighters to support the ones already in combat.

In the end, it was their all-out victory against a more advanced civilization that also had the home-court advantage and the numerical advantage. That too with minimum losses, provided Kol didn't even have to get off his throne.

Muspelheim, also known as the realm of eternal fire. Home to the Fire Demons and the Fire Giants, and their ruler, the Fire Giant Surtur.

A war was going on here, between the Rock Trolls, the Chronicoms, and the Remorath forces led by Kol, against the natives of this realm, led by Surtur, who apparently did not die with Hela.

Kol held a sword in his hand that seemed as tall as him. It was forged by the Dwarves not long ago.

This sword was nothing special, just a Vibranium + Uru sword with extra weight runes engraved in it to make it more destructive. Its shape and size were the same as that of the Dragonslayer sword from Berserk, wielded by Gutz.

[Images]

After the battle with Hela, Surtur was gravely wounded, but thanks to the Eternal Fire, he was healing quickly.

He hadn't fully healed when Kol attacked, but as they say, a wounded animal that's cornered is way more dangerous.

Eternal Fire wasn't just any form of energy that Kol could easily absorb and control. It was the very concept of Fire itself. So he would have to do this the hard way.

Surtur spoke, "You will fall here little God, like many before you!", then with a warcry, "RAAH!", he raised his sword high up and brought it down at Kol's head.

Kol was floating a few inches from the ground with his sword in his right hand.

If we compare their size, then Surtur was a mountain compared to him, easily around as tall as a 30-story building.

Seeing the giant sword coming at him, Kol raised his sword across his body, then dropped down on the ground and pushed himself upwards at high speed.

When he met the Twilight Sword, he deflected it to the side, "BOOMM!!", their brief contact generated a giant impact bubble at that location.

Then Kol focused his Bio-Electric field to shift his momentum, pushing himself forward at a terrifying speed and slashed Surtur on the side as he passed him by.

Feeling the pain from the massive gash on the side of his torso, "AAH!", Surtur cried out in pain, and shifted his sword to turn around to try and slash at Kol once again.

But Kol wouldn't miss this opportunity. He flew at Surtur's back and plunged his sword into his spine.

Then even as Surtur cried out in pain, Kol channeled The Red through his sword and into a blast on Surtur's back, "BOOM!".

"AAAHH", Surtur screamed in anguish.

This time he had a giant hole in his back.

But this wasn't over just yet.

In his moment of desperation, Surtur used his body to channel the Eternal Fire into a massive explosion, "BOOOMM!!".

It was so intense that it would make nuclear explosions look like firecrackers in front of a Thermite grenade.

Kol was taken back by this sudden outburst, unable to find balance, he was blown far away, giving time for Surtur to use the Eternal Fire to heal himself once again.

When Kol flew back, Surtur was already mostly healed and ready to battle. It was as expected, after all, Kol did not possess the law of Death like Hela did.

He spoke to Surtur, "It might take me a while. You might even be able to give me a little trouble, but no matter how strong you are, or whatever cards you're hiding up your sleeve, at the end of the day, you will lose.".

Surtur replied, "Many of your kind have fallen by this sword.", referring to his sword, "The twilight sword... I am your doom, I am Ragnarok! You will die little God.", then he pointed his sword at Kol and channeled the Eternal Fire through it into a stream of fire that he fired at Kol.

In response, Kol channeled The Red through his eyes and fired optic rays to meet Surtur's attack head-on.

The two thick energy beams met in the middle. The Red and the Eternal Fire, both trying to overpower each other.

The Red seemed to be winning, but this wasn't Dragon Ball Z, so an energy sphere was formed at the place they met.

As they continued to overpower each other, it grew exponentially, containing more and more power within it every second.

Until finally, "BOOOMMM!!!", it exploded.

The impact blew away everything in its vicinity, including Kol, and Surtur, who despite his size, seemed like a small leaf blown away by the gale.

However, this time Kol was prepared.

Even as his body was hurtled back at high speed due to the impact and he hadn't managed to regain his momentum, Kol used The White to counter the potential energy on his body, thereby coming to a stop.

Then he teleported directly behind Surtur.

Surtur's giant body was still uncontrollably falling back. So Kol used his Telekinesis to stop his momentum, then used his sword to slash at his left shoulder blade.

Surtur's screamed, "AAHHH!!", as his left hand was separated from his body.

Then without wasting time, Kol sealed it inside his M-Ring.

Since Surtur was left-handed, he carried his Twilight Sword in his left hand, so now he was without a weapon, and therefore, a sitting target for Kol.

Seeing his arm and the sword disappearing into thin air, Surtur yelled, "Give it back!", and charged at Kol, intending to stomp him with his massive foot.

But Kol easily dodged it and flew away.

Surtur yelled, "Do you think this prevents your doom? I am eternal.", and tried to punch him.

But Surtur was already concentrating the Eternal Fire to regenerate his arm, so he wasn't quick enough to even touch Kol's armor.

Without wasting time with meaningless words, Kol dropped down to the ground and pushed himself towards Surtur at high speed.

Surtur tried to block, but he wasn't quick enough anymore.

Kol plunged his sword in his gut and channeled The Red through it, "BANG!!", this attack destroyed nearly half of his torso.

Surtur yelled in pain, "AAAHH!!", and channeled the Eternal Fire through his body, as he did before.

The massive blast created an overwhelming pushing force, "BOOMM!!", but this time Kol was ready. He covered his body with The Red and withstood the blast.

Then taking advantage of the fact that Surtur's attention was diverted, he flew over his head and used the Kolforce on his crown, intending to separate the Eternal Fire from it.

Surtur tried to shake him off and punch him away, but Kol held on tightly until a giant crown finally fell on the ground, along with the flame that contained the very law of Fire burning in Kol's palm.

Then he sealed everything up in his M-Ring and flew away to see how things were proceeding on the other side where his armies were fighting the Fire demons.

It was only a matter of time before Kol would win Muspelheim. After all, he still had the Infinity gauntlet that he hadn't used yet.
