"Why are you here, magician?" Eternal Consciousness asked.
"I'm here for a few reasons," Ian explained. "Do you know anything about Great Convergence? Can you tell me some information?"
"The higher Truth of the universe cannot be revealed."
"Not even to someone who is trying to protect you and your existence?"
"Yes," Eternal Consciousness nodded.
"Can't you be flexible?" Ian suddenly missed Kronai. Although she is also very rigid, she is definitely more flexible than the one in front of her.
"Rules and regulations bind me, so I cannot, no, I must not, say certain Truth."
"Okay," Ian said slightly annoyed. "Can you at least help me protect this timeline?" He explained [Dimensional Stabilizer Barrier], and expressed the hope that the latter could help him arrange them.
Eternal Consciousness did not answer immediately and seemed to be thinking. Then, it said in its usual cold and mechanical tone, "Your actions are within the authorization rules. Show me the enchantment."
Ian displayed a complex rune, and then he activated his Cosmic Awareness. He felt a slight tremor in the entire universe, and then an invisible magic circle surrounded it. Just as he designed, the barrier drew huge energy from all dimensions.
"Do you have anything else to do with me?"
"No more," Ian replied. He had already concluded that this Cosmic Will would not be as cooperative as Kronai, so there was nothing to discuss. "Then, farewell."
Ian opened his eyes and sighed. "Have you collected any data?"
"Yes, but nothing special," Morgana replied. "But it's better than nothing."
"World Fusion is the best time to observe and collect data on Cosmic Will, so it doesn't matter if we don't get anything now. So, let's get started."
Ian sent the good news to all relevant personnel, and then quickly built a special device to better observe the Fusion process at the micro and macro levels. A few days later, he received news from Loki that Thanos had been eliminated and Mind Stone also fell into his hands.
Ian doesn't care about the disappearance of Thanos. If Loki doesn't deal with him, he will do it himself. Besides, he knows that this won't be the last time he deals with Thanos. In this Multiverse, no one knows what variant of Thanos he will have to deal with one day.
After everything was ready, Ian decided to speed up the process. So, he contacted the Ancient One, Odin and La, descended to that new timeline, and eliminated all the strong men from Tier 7 to Tier 10. Then, the group dragged that universe closer to their universe and waited for the result.
Stark Tower:
Ian, Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. are sitting in a room, with multiple screens showing scenes from all over the universe. Everyone is watching the results nervously, because once Great Convergence actually begins, the outcome of this event may determine how they act in the future.
"It's begun," Ian said with his eyes closed, and everyone's attention became more focused. However, nothing happened on the screen. Of course, only people like Ian who own Cosmic Awareness can sense and observe this change on a cosmic scale.
He saw how the two universes were attracted to each other, like two magnets in close proximity. This process should have released gravitational waves with devastating effects on the curvature of space-time, but the stabilizers worked and prevented any accidents from happening.
"The first step is completed," Ian said as he opened his eyes. "What will happen next?" He didn't wait long to know what the next step was. On the screen, everyone saw dazzling lights appearing everywhere in the universe, followed by a silhouette.
"So, the residents of that universe were transported to our universe?" Ian commented. "Why not the other way around? Is it because we weakened them before?" While observing every detail, he was also inferring as much information as possible.
After the transmission, Avengers breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this was the change. Although the sudden doubling of the universe's population would cause some trouble, it should still be controllable. However, facts soon proved that they were wrong.
The teleportation of these people is not random, but deliberately selected. Every person with a variant existence, no matter where they are in the universe, will be teleported directly to their counterpart in this universe.
Immediately afterwards, when these mutants looked at each other, their eyes turned red and they immediately began to kill each other.
Ian stood up from the chair and observed the battle of variants throughout the universe. He saw a human piercing her own variant, and the body of the deceased turned into a golden light and entered her body.
The redness in her eyes dissipated, and when she realized what she had done, she felt extremely horrified. She staggered back, holding on to the table to support her body, but accidentally collapsed the table and fell to the ground.
'Her power suddenly increased, and she couldn't fully control it,' Ian analyzed, then looked at all the screens. The same thing was happening across the universe, including Asgard (Asgard). However, All-Father (All-Father) acted quickly, and he used his power to bind all the mutants from other universes, allowing his people to kill them.
Ian immediately followed suit and cast a cosmic-level spell to help the inhabitants of his universe. With his actions, this brainless Carnage and the battle came to an end.
"This is terrible," Steve commented.
"Why did they suddenly go crazy?" Tony asked, then turned to Ian. "Huh?"
Ian hesitated to speak.
"If you know something, now is not the time to hide it," Fury added, making Ian sigh.
"I have always suspected that Great Convergence is an extreme training method using the entire Multiverse."
"Training? For what?" Natasha asked.
"Dealing with something terrible."
"Is it scarier than what you showed us?" Hawkeye asked.
"What do you think?"
"What on earth is it that requires Multiverse to be used as a cruel training method?" Tony asked, his face turning slightly pale.
"I don't know exactly, but what we are dealing with is something on an incomprehensible scale," Ian replied. A deathly silence fell in the room.
"Let's not discuss this now. I have to leave."
"Where are you going?" Fury asked.
"I must erase most of these people's memories and seal their newly acquired powers. Otherwise, the situation will become more complicated."
Fury understood his intentions immediately. If so many people on Earth suddenly gained the power of Superman and had to deal with the psychological trauma of killing people, the planet would immediately fall into chaos and anarchy. But now the situation is worse, because this is happening on a cosmic scale.
Ian left quickly. He could have erased the memory of the entire universe alone, or even sealed the power of these people. However, he had to worry about the reactions of Lord Hell and Demon Gods.
He is helpless against these people; this incident has aroused their vigilance. Once they start causing trouble, the situation will become more complicated than he imagined.
Therefore, he needs the help of Odin and others to ensure that the memory erasure and power seal are strong enough so that those bastards cannot crack it and cause trouble. It would be best if Eternal Consciousness can help, but he has a hunch that that bastard will not interfere in the "internal affairs" of the universe.
Ian contacted them and informed them of his plan. They agreed, and he subsequently tried to convince Eternal Consciousness, to no avail. Eventually, with the help of others, he was able to clean up the mess.
