The test showed that Nara did not meet the standards he expected, but Ian had expected this, and the final result was the best he could do under the current circumstances.
"The next step is to build a Speed Force in this universe," he said to himself, and then immediately started to do it. Since he could not use all the resources of the ontology, he needed to optimize the entire creation process.
"The best way is to use all six gems," Ian commented while looking at the screen in front of him. "I can also ask the Dwarvess to help me." He once stole the knowledge of the Dwarvess from Earth-125, so he knows how capable they are.
With a specific next step plan in mind, Ian took action. He first used the same method as the main body to get back Soul Stone by deceiving another unlucky guy.
Then, he went to Knowhere to obtain Reality Stone from the Collector. His intelligence showed that the incident of <Thor: The Dark World> had just ended, and the gem was currently in the hands of the Collector.
Ian opened a portal to the nearest star system to Solar System and flew towards his destination. During the flight, a rainbow fell from the sky, revealing an army of Asgard.
"You must be here because of what happened over there at the Collector," Ian said calmly.
"What you stole is the property of Asgard and All-Father. Hand it over and don't resist; we will keep you safe," a man in armor declared loudly. Ian ignored him and quickly focused on a crow trying to hide itself.
"I might have been a little afraid of you in your heyday, but you are old now and about to die. Mind my business, Asgard might be able to survive for a while longer," Ian announced, and then released the power of Power Stone; a purple beam shot out of his hand, completely obliterating this small army.
He flew into the earth, went straight to Hydra's base to get Mind Stone, and then went to S.H.I.E.L.D. to get Space Stone. All five gems were set in a golden bracelet on his wrist. 'Now, only the last one is left.'
He went to Kamar-Taj, and as expected, the Ancient One was waiting for his arrival. Ian looked at her and the surrounding environment calmly. "I understand. You know you can't stop me, but you want to sacrifice yourself to die with me, or seal me. This won't work." The Ancient One sighed secretly, "Nothing is absolute."
"That's true," Ian replied calmly. "If Odin lends Destroyer to you, you may have a glimmer of hope. Anyway, let's not talk about these meaningless things. Answer my question, and I promise to let all your mages go."
The Ancient One thought for a moment. She didn't know whether this man would keep his promise, but as long as there was a glimmer of hope, she was willing to take the risk.
"Ask."
"Have there been any major events that led to the death of some of the most powerful entities in the universe?" The Ancient One frowned. "It doesn't have to be something that happened recently. It can also be from ancient history."
"Are you referring to the corruption incident of Agamotto?"
"Oh?"
"Agamotto suddenly went crazy and killed countless creatures in the universe--"
"Including Demon Gods?"
"Yes, they were the first victims."
"Then how was he stopped?" Ian asked.
"Someone reached the center of the universe, made a wish for eternity, and finally ended his madness."
"I understand." Ian finally understood why Morgana detected that this universe was one of those weaker ones. "I will keep my promise." The battle did not last long, and Ian obtained the last gem. A green light emitted from his bracelet, and he felt a terrible power surge in his veins.
"This kind of power has indeed reached the level of Demon God King. More importantly, I can distort all the laws of this universe at will," Ian commented. This feeling is intoxicating, but unfortunately, it does not belong to him.
Ian's last stop on Earth was Wakanda and Talokan, taking away all their energy, then opening a portal to Nidavellir, controlling Dwarves and taking them away.
He originally thought that Asgard would attack again, but he didn't even see a single figure. With the help of gems and Dwarves, Ian quickly built a new Speed Force that could expand to the entire Multiverse, not just an ordinary Speed Force.
"Sir, something is wrong," Nara said.
"What's wrong?"
"The speedster clone failed,"
"What do you mean?" Nara projected a holographic screen, which showed a group of clones running on Cosmic Treadmill, but none of them had super speed.
"You used Barry's DNA as a template, right?"
"Yes."
"Is it because we combine reality, soul and Mind Stone to create clones? Try conventionally manufactured clones." With these simple instructions, countless Golem and machines built the infrastructure to create purely technical clones. Within an hour, Ian created a batch of new clones that were supposed to have extremely high affinity with Speed Force.
"The results are the same," Nara reported.
"Explain it?"
"Calculating."
"Speed Force changed after adapting to the rules of this world, causing the clone to be unable to obtain its power," Ian said.
"Our analysis concluded that your answer is 83% likely to be the root cause."
"Okay, then we'll use the old method," Ian muttered. "Scan the entire universe to find anyone who has the slightest affinity for Speed Force, and then send Golem to take them to... this planet." Ian pointed to a map in front of him.
"Build one, well, let's call it Red Guardian Temple. We are an organization as old as time. Our mission is to protect Multiverse from a dark and powerful force named Azeroth--Dark Speed God. Azeroth has become Resurrection, which means it's time for our temple to take action.
"In addition, use the DNA of Barry to refine a Speed Force affinity potion and use it as Initiation Ceremony."
"Do you need me to add something else to the potion?" Nara asked.
"No. I plan to brainwash these people so that even if someone removes what I implanted in their minds, they will not be able to 'reveal' the truth."
"As you wish." Nara carried out his order, and three days later, more than 20 million people were brought back to Planet Redsun (Planet Redsun). These people were gathered on a huge platform, with no other people visible around them. Then, a red lightning struck from a distance and landed on the podium.
Ian was surrounded by the lightning of the speedsters, looking down at them.
"I am the Priest of the Red Temple. I know you are all afraid, forcibly taken from your homes and families," he announced, his voice loud enough for everyone to hear and understand. "But we have no choice. A great enemy has awakened and is threatening the mysteries of this universe and all living worlds. But you have the power to stop them. I know most of you don't understand what I'm talking about, so let me show you."
He used Reality Stone to create a vivid illusion for these people, showing the power struggle between the guardian speed god and his red temple and Dark Speed God and his dark temple.
The vision shows the birth of Multiverse, explained to these people in an easy-to-understand manner, and then describes how Dark God desires to devour every universe to increase his speed and power, while Guardian God protects all living beings. It is a beautiful and vivid experience for everyone present.
"As you can see, time is not on our side," Ian declared. "This war is coming, and we must be ready.
Now, you can choose whether to stay and join the war, or to leave and return to your normal life. Don't worry. There will be no punishment for choosing to leave, and the temple will even compensate you for the inconvenience you suffered today."
The crowd was quiet for a moment, and then a humanoid lizard alien spoke. "What will happen if we stay? Will we have the same power as the red warrior in that story?"
"Yes, you will have powers and become speedsters," Ian replied with a reassuring smile, even though it was he who placed the alien in the crowd to ask this question. "However, with great power comes great responsibility. You will have to fight against Dark Speedsters and put your lives in danger for Multiverse."
The crowd became rowdy as people discussed which choice to make, and after half an hour, Ian asked them to make a decision.
