  Kamar Taj [June 2015]

  –Alveus (HIVE)–

  He was travelling in one of the cars that his cult had. He was doing trips like these more often, across the world actually. It was somewhat of a security risk, especially since he was wearing the same face for a long time but one of the newer Inhumans was blessed with a power to ge anyone’s face permaly, without mu the way of limits.

  That particur power allowed him to travel the world without having to worry about Stark and his pet AI. It still boggled his mind sometimes whehought of these primates having ied all these things and then going a step further and creating life itself, something that only the Kree were previously able to do.

  The AI still had its limits, obviously but he was more than ied in pig apart the brains of the person who made it. Stark was obviously on his list but more than that, Jack was his number one priority. The man had not made any rge appearances in many months but he khat the moment he did something that might threaten the world, he would be fending off the attacks from these Avengers, Jack Sullivan himself, and the govers of this world.

  No, he had to first find out something that eutralise these monkeys or atleast trim their o a manageable number before he make any overt moves. Once he has something that tame these wild primates, he move on to taking out the Avengers and all the so-called defenders of the p all at ohis would take time, obviously but he was nothing but patient.

  His immortality made it trivial to wait a few more months. FOr the time being, they were more focused on finding out the source of the people who could jure up portals and ons made up e lights. They were obviously not INhum ans since having simir powers did happen rarely but so many different people having the exact same powers was not possible.

  It either meant that it was once again some teology they found or something else. He leaned oer option because he khat there was no teology that could do this or the Kree would already have it when they captured and banished him.

  Either way, it meant that they had to find these people because it was the only solid piece of e that the people w for him were able to find. Disappointing as it was to know that his enemy was nigh untouchable in all aspects, it was a start and he was sure that Jack had a weakness. It was only a matter of time before he found what it was and used it to devour the siro being on the p.

  Plus, if he could get the ability to make global portals instantaneously, his operations would be much more streamlined. Also, this world had ged a lot since he was banished ae dev more than enough brains to uand the normal ges, a few things still fused him, and not because of his inability to properly assimite the knowledge from the brains.

  No, it was because the things did not make sense. How could the primates make something that could allow them to harhe power of the sun itself? That was the domain of the Kree and the Gods ahe humans trampled on that notion with ease.

  Not only did they trample oural order of things, they did so without aribution. In fact, acc to his memories, almost all of humanity believed that the Gods were nothing more than fi and did not pray to them at all. Some of them did but even they believed that God was someone who would never e down to Earth and would only punish them when they died and reached Purgatory.

  That was bsphemy itself and he remembered the harsh and cruel punishments that awaited anyone if they so much as breathed wrong in the dire of a Strong God. Ofcoruse, these Gods did not disturb the KRee for the KRee held powers that could demolish the entire p which was the source of power for the Gods but even then, he would be the first oo admit that most of the Gods were strohan all but the stro of the Inhumans.

  So, he set out, armed with a new face after spending some time travelling, in search of Inhumans, the people with the portals, and also in search of the Gods or what happeo them once he was banished. His first thought was that with so many new mortals as believers in the Gods, they would have grown strong enough to escape the clutches of the p and asd but that was not the case, as the humans were not praying to them, not iruest sense anyway.

  Humans, all but a small fra of them, held no fear of any repercussions of their bsphemy towards the Gods of various pantheons, at least not until they were alive. They believed that the punishment came when they died but he khat most of them went bato the void, aside from some highly specialised heavens and hells that were propped up by the overwhelming power of some beings before that too dissipated, leaving a colpsed alternate dimension with multiple souls.

  So far, his Inhuman army had expao over 300 people. He’d found about 1000 Inhumans and had forced all of them to undergenesis, getting about 500 more new INhumans but none of them held any particurly useful powers, so he used them as his food, to temporarily satiate his hunger. He only left about 200 alive out of the 500 who had somewhat useful power, like the one which could ge the face structure but even that would be mostly useless once he was strong enough to publicly take over the world.

  [June 2015]

  It was one of the routine operations that his operatives held, with a single Inhuman alresent to escape if any of them were ever detected. The Inhuman had a limited teleportation power, with the ability to “mark” two locations before being able to teleport a limited amount of matter to any one of the two locations, and this was despite him personally iing his time to train them.

  That was when his office door was knocked on. He mostly spent his time reading more and more about this world. Psychology was one such subject which fasated him. How the primates had figured out so much about the mie barely having brains fasated him and the more he read about these primates, the more he was vihat he kill all of them. In fact, he was sure that he could keep most of them under his thumb and they would barely notice, aside from the steady stream of sacrifices that he would take from them.

  However, with how fast they multiplied and their sheer numbers, it was like taking a drop from the o. If they could tio eain him, he could let them live, at least the revolutionary authors would get to live, as more thatle that the rest of the primates were.

  “What?” He asked as he flipped the page using a minor telekinesis power that he held, courtesy of one of the unwilling sacrifices. It was useful for muasks but nothing that would help him in battle, although he would not disregard any power in his iable battle.

  “Sir, we have made…er tact with the subje–Aaaa” He was out of his chair, through his table, and in front of the agent before he could plete his report or even blink, his tentacle bursting out of his bad holding the neck of the agent.

  “I thought–” he leaned in close, his eyes watg the delicious fear ing off the agent, despite the ahat coursed through his mind, “--that I forbid tact with the subjects, without my express permission,”

  The agent, despite having a chokiacle on him, tried to speak. He retracted the tentacle and just as hope bloomed in the mind of the agent, he ripped it apart as the tentacle ehe mouth of the agent.

  He watched as realisation came into the agent’s eyes, knowing the fate of anyone who had their mouth invaded and sure enough, his tentacle disregarded flesh, bone and muscle as it wormed its way straight into the brain of the agent, ripping apart all the memories, and finding out why his express orders were disregarded.

  As he read through the information, his face turned amused, “Iing..”

  His tentacle extended into the hallulled one of the guards, “Arrahe meeting with this…Kaecilius.”

  The guard, terrified with delicious fear, nodded and scrambled out of his office. He then looked at the state of his offid sighed.

  “And it was a new suit as well,” he mourhe loss of one of the fi pieces of clothing that he had worn in his life and sat back down, his telekiic powers fetg the book, with the bookmark stained a bit with blood but that was alright.

  He was ner to a little bit of fleshy bits. In fact, he relished it if the flesh beloo one of his victims.

  [June 2015]

  “Wele, Mr.Kaecilius,” he grinned as he stepped out of the shadows, an army of snipers and agents surrounding the entire park they were in, but not taking any hostile a for the moment because this was supposed to be a partnership, for however long he could get use out of all of them.

  “Greetings, Mr.Aleveus,” The one in the lead, who held no fear of him, spoke, with two of his ckeys guarding his back although the one in the front held no fear for his own safety, fident in his own power.

  Hmm, something easily rectifiable but only when he knew all there was to know about their kind.

  “So, Mr.Kaecilius, what I do for you?”

  Kaecilius grinned as he waved his right arm in front of him, creating e sparks which piqued his i. His i was further increased when the portal was fully formed and a body dropped out of it, still twitg so alive but a body heless. He noticed the same uniform worn by the body as well.

  “An , from our Master,” Kaeciulius gestured at the body and he grinned, extending his tentacle hand for a handshake, knowing that it would create some fear in them.

  “I think we will have a long and fruitful partnership, Mr.Kaecilius,” Still, Kaeciulius held no fear in his eyes as his tentacle was shook.

  Good. It would not do for him to have partners who were afraid of a little ge in people.

  Kaeciulius nodded, “We will meet here, again, in a week,” opened a portal and the.

  His people were clearly eager to stop aain them but oure from him stopped all of them. He had all he needed from them, information that could be sued against them and he had a hunch that they were going to be quite useful iure.

  “Let’s go,” He had the people take the body and safely transport it. While he could devour his brains right now and see what tantalising knowledge it held, he would like to do it in the privacy of his work chambers, allowing him to pick the brain apart bit by bit, facilitating a much smoother transfer of information.

  Not to mention, the delicious fear and pain in them whee their brains while they were still alive and scious.

  [2 days ter]

  Ah, so that’s how it is, huh.

  Kamar Taj. A One. Sorcery. Dimensional Energy. Jack Sullivan and his powers.

  He resisted the urge to rub his head as the task in front of him turned out to be much more difficult thahought it would be. Getting the primitive civilisation back to what it once was a few hundred years ago would not be that hard, but doing so while actively bating an anisation that was older than even him and held people who were even strohan Jack Sullivan was going to be dht impossible.

  Especially since he couldn’t locate any Royal Blood Inhumans, despite months of searg around the globe. The closest he had gotten was a hint of blood in the snowy Himayas but even after searg for weeks, he hadn’t found anything and now that he khat Kamar Taj was situated in the same Himayan range, he was gd that he hadn’t probed deeper.

  He might be powerful now but he knew, from the memories of the apprehat the A One had dealt with enemies much more powerful and ahan him. He khat he could easily be sealed in one of those alternate dimensions with no way of ever ing back.

  From the memories he plundered, he got the knowledge required to do Sorcery a, he could not perform any single one of those as. The portals require a ring of some sort to work and that was not something that Kaecilius would give him.

  He sighed at that, readi another book on battle strategies. He would have to engage further with this Kaecilius in their partnership. That was the only way he could figure out more about this new hurdle that had popped up in his way.

  Jack Sullivan riority and so was the A O he had a hunch that dealing with that old monster would not be left to him. It would be left to the “master” of Kaecilius. For now, he would have to listen to the man about their pn on how to deal with Kamar Taj because the person whose brain he had eaten, they were not a part of Karcilius’ fa which meant that Kaecilius should be making a move on Kamar Taj soon enough.

  He stood up from his chair, and walked over to the rge window, overlooking the pound showing him the powers that his Inhumans were practising.

  It was a nice view, with bsts of various colours, Inhumans who had ehemselves, ohat had clearly animalistic characteristid more.

  It was the beginning of an army that would one day take over the p for him, and he just couldn’t wait.

  Hmm?” his tentacles snapped out and coiled themselves around something. His tentacles were burned which was surprising but the e was someone in a White Suit being visible to him.

  An Inhuman. “What do we have here?”
