SCION THE PROTECTOR

Meeting the bartender Lauin was terrified, after all he had been told about the Fulcrum and after the mistake he had made he expected to be turned to mush instantly, however all Fulcrum did was call him forward.

Lauin approached worryingly but when he reached the counter all Fubcrum did was serve him a drink. Lauin respectfully told Fulcrum that he doesn't drink and Fulcrum said that although liquor has no effect on Lauin's body but he didn't serve him liquor,

At that point Lauin knew it would be rude to refuse the drink after his advantage has been neutralized so he accepted it. He wasnt dumb though, he was well aware ever since he became a celestial that regular things like liquor had no effect on him anymore.

But still it was a mentality he had instilled into his own mind for so as long as he could remember, he believed he didn't drink and so the fact that he is now immune to all mortal ailments or anything else wasnt an excuse to start drinking.

After taking the Fulcrum's drink opened his eyes widely, it wasn't liquor but it also wasn't regular juice or a regular beverage, however after taking it he suddenly felt his entire body activated by the drink, it seeped through his esophagus and its effects seeped throughout his limbs.

He then turned to find Fulcrum smiling, Lauin then starts apologizing. He says that he didn't intend on releasing the exterminator on the earth it's just that he didn't know it was an exterminator at the time however at the present he had provided it with enough power to take over the planet.

Fulcrum simply says that he didn't summon Lauin to the bar rather Lauin summoned the bar to himself, as a celestial he now has the power to do something like that however if they are talking about his situation its worse than he may be thinking.

Lauin gets even shocked, he had no difficulty comprehending the fact that his mind wasn't summoned but rather it summoned the Fulcrum to itself, turns out the way station doesn't exist at a specific point in space or time but rather exists wherever it's needed to be at any given point in time.

This in some cases makes it exist in more than one place at the same time but that wasn't a problem for it with the Fulcrum as the center. After learning that the situation with fake Ziran was worse than he had previously perceived it to be he was shocked,

This was because he actually believed he was terrified enough of the possible catastrophe he had brought to the planet, now if the situation was worse than he had imagined he wasn't so sure he wanted to find out.

However the choice was out of his hands this time, Fulcrum went ahead to elaborate just how bad the situation was, he says that long ago the celestials were some of the mightiest of all cosmic beings, they had nearly unlimited power that rivaled that of the Fulcrum

This power got way over their heads and they got betrayed by the same logic they so praised, see the celestials believed the universe survived because of a peaceful coexistence, they were beings of life so they created death, they wanted the universe to survive in balance of life and death so they gave birth the exterminators

Unfortunately they were betrayed by their creations, the Eterminators sought wanton destruction as killing was their only function, they were ravaging the multiverse and so the celestials sought to stop them, this created a massive war between celestials and exterminators and due to its severe destruction of Multiversal space, abstract beings had to step in.

The Fulcrum says that he stopped the celestial menace and imprisoned the exterminators in the gaps between universes, the celestials were then placed under his rule and he created an alternate species to keep them in check, he called this species the horde.

Even more he split the celestials and spread them across the multiverse, each celestial exists in a multitude of realities reducing their power to a greater extent and curbing the possible emergence of another celestial war, as such celestials do not really die even if they are erased from a single reality, they still exist in other realities and it simply makes the remainders stronger when one portion of them is eliminated.

There was a celestial once that managed to separate himself from all other realities and he became whole, he is known as Taimut the dreaming celestial, he obtained power on par with the Fulcrum and as such he was set free from servitude to the fulcrum.

That is the state of the celestials in the multiverse but there was always a risk of the exterminators breaking free of their confines. This threat became realized because mortals just dont know when to stop, they keep looking for more and more power regardless of the fact that this power was never meant to be theirs in the first place.

To maintain the peace he created a new celestial named Bosnos whose main role was to hunt down exterminators, a few years ago there was a war in the multiverse, in reality 616, some human scientist from the 31st century discovered the wonders of time and took it upon himself to conquer it.

Unfortunately for him the fabric of time is way more complicated than he imagined, see as he discovered the wonders of time, so did his variants from other realities and their struggle created a multiverse war, during this war the walls between universes got thin and an exterminator seeped into reality TRN781229AM.

This was Lauin's home reality, Fulcrum referred to it as a number which meant it was one of the infinite realities he oversees. He then said that the exterminator was nearly destroyed but he landed in the hands of Lauin, thing is TRN781229AM is the only reality where Lauin Lexis is a normal human being,

In reality 616 he doesn't exist mainly because he was taken by the high evolutionary in his search to create an Eternal he was halted in his experimentation and the result was the death of Lauin, in reality 29 lauin is a nephilim child of the Archangel Akatriel and a human female.

In reality 11 he is the Starbrand of his world and in the mirror reality of MA922187NRT he is a member of the new species of gods in that universe, in reality 6781 he is an omega level mutant, in 199999 he is the manifestation of the reality stone, in 98127 he is an inhuman and so many more realities. The point is his genetics have some of the greatest potential in the known multiverse

This exterminator must have sensed that so he chose to bond himself with Lauin, and in doing so unlocked the hidden potential within him, see in this reality Lauin is an awakened celestial being, but being a celestial puts him on the Fulcrum's radar but the thing is to successfuly become a celestial, Lauin must merge his existence with all the other variants of himself across the multiverse,

This granted him and his variants unfathomable power, Starbrands are never meant to live forever because of the power they wield, they literally burn off their life force by wielding the brand, but the Starbrand variant of Lauin became an immortal one, his other selves also seemingly had their innate abilities expanded beyond imagination, the inhuman became a cosmic hero, the mutant rose beyond omega classification and the wielder of the reality stone became a cosmic entity.

Such was the power of the celestials, and in that process Lauin gave the exterminator on earth an infinite wellspring of power to draw on, way more power than the exterminators were ever meant to wield.

Because of this very reason stopping him may be close to impossible, Bosnos has been dispatched and the heroes of Earth have taken up the call to help but they cannot even scratch Bosnos let alone this new exterminator.

He then says that the only being the entire universe that stands a chance at defeating the Exterminator is Lauin and without him, the living tribunal will erase his universe to prevent this newly emerged danger from threatening the rest of the multiverse.

As the Fulcrum says that, Lauin seeps back into his own mind, he could feel it now, what the fulcrum told him about his variants, he could sense them all and there were hundreds of thousands of them.

He didn't exist in the infinite realities but he existed in a mere hundreds of thousands of them, regardless in each reality he existed in he was a powerful existence except his universe and that had been changed by Ziran the exterminator.

However beyond that he could also sense the presence of the cosmic entities, Eternity, Infinity, Lords Order and Chaos, he could sense them all and they were all keeping an eye on him.

They were watching his development excited for what it could bring them, but that wasn't all he sensed, as he looked somewhere far off in the distance he caught sight of the Manifestation of the multiverse, the Eternity of the multiverse was watching his reality and he wasnt alone, with him was the guardian of the multiverse, the judge of multiversal balance, the living tribunal.

Lauin understood now, the only reason they are watching his reality is because they have sensed a great disturbance within it and the only reason they haven't acted yet is also because they have sensed a ray of hope within the very universe, this was what Fulcrum meant, this universe, this reality could survive but it all depended on Lauin's actions.

He pulled back his senses, he was floating above the planet Earth and approaching him from the distance was a colossal being over 1500 meters tall, this was the celestial Bosnos and deep Down on the planet, a similarly colossal entity was rising out of the ocean, this was the Exterminator, it had been reborn.

The Avengers and all heroic affiliated organizations were already preparing themselves to attack this new entity, his awakening was sending massive fluctuations throughout the planet coastlines were nearly flooding and would have if not for the appearance of multiple heroes as well as gods to hold it off.

Lauin could sense Thor holding back the tides but he wasnt alone, the Olympian Deity Poseidon was apparently on earth and he too was helping out to be exact he wasnt he only one that did, several gods from all corners of the world showed up to save the world. This was an event never ever seen in the history of the world.

With his power over time Lauin discovered that Thor had summoned these gods. Over the years he had met and aided many gods in his travels and as such many owed him a favor or two so when he called on them, none of them could say no.

They were holding the oceans and atmosphere of the world in addition to the planet itself stopping it from ripping itself apart from Ziran's awakening however that was just the beginning.

The real battle had yet to start, Lauin looks towards Bosnos and he says he knows what to do, Bosnos then transmits his thoughts back saying he will be waiting at the blackhole beyond the solar system. After he says that he enters hyperspace via a simulated blackhole. Lauin on the other hand casts his mind over the planet he searches for allies in this upcoming conflict.

His mind lands on Leonid in the immortal city and he summons him, next he finds Kevin Connor this world's starbrand and his ally Adam Blackveil this world's nightmask and he summons the two of them as well.

Third he locates the living Antimatter reactor known as Adam Brasher the Blue Marvel, the Sentient electro magnetic spectrum known as Monica Rambeau the Spectrum and the last living stable Isotope 8 particle reactor Maria Beasher that people are referring to as Binary, the three of them are a family and he brings them at once.

Then his sight lands on the living star known as Carol Danvers or Captain Marvel, he summons Anthony Stark the first human to ever weaponize Mysterium into a suit of Armor and calls himself Ironman, and lastly he calls forth Avril Kincaid the current wielder of the Quantum bands aka Quasar.

With them he had a team that could handle the celestial should he fall in the fight which for all intents and purposes might happen, as they are teleported to his side none of them are seemingly aware of it and they are shocked to discover their location, luckily all of them could fly and survive in outer space or else things would have gotten weird really fast.

Lauin turns around to face them but before he even says anything Leonid starts glowing as he gets empowered by the Unipower, Eternity was lending a hand in this struggle which Lauin took to be a good thing, he then addressed them all, he explained to them what was happening and the role he played in its birth, he then told them that he can stop the Exterminator with the help of another celestial currently waiting for them at their battle station beyond the solar system.

Before any of them could say anything he simply warped himself away from them, he appeared above the ocean face to face with the Exterminator that was nearly fully out of the ocean, he faces it and he tells it that it has played with the mind of the wrong human on the wrong earth, he thanks it for unlocking his latent potential and with that he promises that he will show it just how much power he has gained.

Suddenly he starts enlarging as he changes from six feet tall to 60, then to 600 and then to 1000 feet and before long he had reached 1200 meters tall, he wasnt tall for a celestial but he also wasnt short, this was the perfect reflection of his status even on earth, he wasnt among the tallest but he also wasn't short.

He extends his hand and just when the Exterminator thought they were going to fight he was pulled into hyperspace, the force was enough to obliterate the planet of course which was why celestials didn't open hyperspace gateways within an atmosphere, but luckily for Lauin there was a team of gods protecting the earth so his portal didn't do much except take some water away.

With the two of them gone the planet started regaining its stability, at the edge of the solar system existed a naturally occurring blackhole with a potent suction force, it was staged as the center of their fight as the blackhole would offset all the cosmic radiation the fight would contain, the heroes outside earth were wondering what was going on and why Lauin had left them behind after collecting them but Leonid told them that it wasn't their time yet.

He tells them that Leonid collected them all for a reason and when the time is right they will play a major role in the victory but before then their presence would only create failure, as captain universe Leonid could see the universe at large all at once, he knows the repercussions of the fight that was about to happen.

Just then the fight begins and Kevin gets shocked, they ask him what was happening to him and Kevin says that the fight had just started, he tells them that the energy emissions from the three of them is too scary even for him. He confirms that although he would survive it, not many of them would be able to survive a fight of that magnitude.

At the blackhole the confrontation between Lauin and the Exterminator has started however despite having massive power, Lauin was still dominated in the fights, infact he was like a child being oppressed by a gigantic monster both in terms of size and power.

The Extermintor was 2500 meters tall making him even taller than bosnos and about 800 meters taller than Lauin, however size wasnt the only difficulty, the Exterminator wasnt just retrieving it's old pieces at the bottom of the ocean, it was using Lauin's life signs to absorb energy from the core of the planet.

He stole, fused and fed on the celestial seed that resided within the planet earth with its power as well as his Eterminator power he was virtually unstoppable. However there was one problem he hadn't foreseen, he had fused his core with Lauin's core

Although Lauin couldn't rob The Exterminator of its power he also couldn't let it live to terrorize his home world and as such he opted to kill it.
