Let's start with a rough summary of chapter Marvel Cinematic Universe. The next chapter was originally Ultron. After his battle with Thor, Tony realized the power he, Avengers, and Ian had, and decided to create a contingency plan for them in case these people went too far - thus, he created Ultron. Ian failed to stop him in time, and neither did the busy clone. Just when he returned to Marvel Universe, Ultron was born.
Ian came because his Cosmic Perception warned of danger, but it was too late. He was so angry that he almost killed Tony on the spot. Now with the technology and magic knowledge Ian taught Tony, Ultron is a evenly matched opponent.
He's allied with Mephisto, which also makes things trickier. I haven't planned everything out yet, but Ian was ultimately able to destroy Ultron simply because Kaecilius set up Dark Kamar-Taj as a double agent. I originally planned that after defeating Mephisto, Ian would refine his soul and turn him into a puppet to help him rule Hell.
Chapter Ultron is followed by the chapter of taking back Floating City. In my outline, I planned that the city would be taken away by the Collector. However, this is not an ordinary the Collector, but a pseudo-Tier 11 the Collector who collected his own unique variations and absorbed them. Ian will create a prototype of Chains of Heaven with the help of Dwarves. The Collector will be his first test before using this weapon on Cosmos.
The final chapter of the MCU was originally going to be "The Great Convergence". Countless universes brought Fusion together, and Ian and his team would defeat the variants from these timelines. With each universe they survived, their citizens would become more powerful, and other heroes or groups would appear in the timelines.
I originally planned to draw inspiration from the comics and introduce some unique characters. According to my plan, Ian would successfully protect his timeline until only the last 10 were left, but eventually, they would all be destroyed and he would have no choice but to escape back to his hometown with the few survivors.
The last thing I want to write in the MCU is Ian returning to Primordial Earth. He will use She-Hulk's ability to break the fourth wall to find his way to Primordial Earth and pay a brief visit. I'm also considering an idea, that is, Ian's girlfriend on Primordial Earth was reincarnated into Clea, the woman who appeared in the post-credits scene of "Doctor Strange 2".
After returning home, Ian will focus on his time Judgment. With all the knowledge he has gained, this Judgment will be nothing to Ian. So, as an alternative, he also sets a trap to capture Cosmos. When he returned home, he had almost all the data he needed to reach Tier 11, but something was missing, and capturing Cosmos would be the final step.
If I control the rhythm well, the energy level when Ian returns will reach the level of 10,000 universes, which is ten times higher than the requirement of 1000 universes required to reach Tier 11. Therefore, after capturing Cosmos, he will become a Multiverse Entity by casting a "Dreamwalking" spell similar to that used by Wanda·Maximoff. But instead of occupying only one variant of his body, he will occupy the bodies of all variants.
Tier 11 is an interesting tier because of its progression. I've already foreshadowed that several of the wives of Ian - I chose Hermione, Luna and Pheobe - will have other variants reaching Tier 11 before them. But as planned by Ian, before being assimilated, they will use reincarnation spells to gain a new identity and thus no longer be viewed as variations of their Tier 11 counterparts.
After reaching Tier 11, Ian will focus on conquering his home world. He will finally have a showdown with the gods of his universe. As you can imagine, as the only Tier 11 entity in the world, conquest will be easy, but only at first.
At some point, these traitors will allow the intervention of top planes such as Titan Plane, Heavenly Dao Plane, Wizard Plane (Wizard Plane), Calamity Plane, Abyssal Plane, and Alkabula Plane (a world using shamanic magic). The remains of Magekind were discovered in all of these planes, and a defective Tier 11 was cultivated.
The war will involve them. I've only written two important plot points about this war. First, Ian will convince Goddess of Magic Delilah to give up her Divinity and become a Arcanist. Second, Titan Plane, Alkabula Plane and half of Heavenly Dao Plane will eventually surrender to Ian, which will turn the tide of the war. In the end, Ian will incorporate everyone except Abyss into the Empire. They will become weapons of war.
After the war, Empire will enter the All-Universe Era. Ian will allow Arcanist to travel to other universes to collect knowledge and resources. At the same time, he will focus on reaching Tier 12--Void Lifeform. To reach this level, one must possess Void Body, Void Soul, and Void quality energy. Despite the name, it is not mandatory to use Void Energy, but its use is considered the standard path.
Ian needs to find a way to keep his body and soul alive in [Void], the space between universes. Finally, he needs to refine his magic power again, raising its energy quality to a level comparable to Void Energy. Rowena has been studying this for years, so this process will be much easier.
In Tier 12, Ian will reunite with Merlin and learn more about that war. His speculation is correct: these powerful magicians and entities are fighting against Old Ones such as Cthulhu. Old Ones has been ravaging countless worlds, and Merlin's side is at a disadvantage. At this stage of the story, Ian will continue to travel to other worlds, but the events of the war will change them dramatically. I also plan to include some original worlds that are not based on movies or pop culture.
Tier 13 is known as Universal Existence. Throughout the universe, there exist many versions of Merlin, Arthur, or Solomon, and this is how to get to Tier 13: spreading the legend or variant in other universes. Ian's clone in "Destiny" is a manifestation of his story. Every time he goes to a universe and talks about his Arcane Empire, he is actually spreading his legend, which also speeds up the speed of reaching Tier 13. At that level, Ian not only has countless variations in the world of Harry Potter, but also has countless variations in all the universes where his story spreads.
Tier 14 is known as Nexus Existence. Ian's path to this realm involves evolving his Magic Domain into a world and creating an energy source. In most levels, mages or those of other means must rely on outside energy to increase or replenish their magic. But in Tier 14, they must become the source of their own energy, thereby possessing the energy of Infinity.
Tier 15 is known as Conceptual Existence. This rank requires Arcanist to condense their own laws or [Authority]. After studying the laws of countless worlds, they can create a Void Rune, which is the embodiment of their laws. Ian has been studying the Primordial Runes of many universes, and eventually Fusion them into his Void Rune.
Tier 16 is known as Embodiment of Law, which is also the level that Merlin and Solomon are at. At this level, one must become the origin of his laws. For example, Merlin is the incarnation of magic, which means that all magic originates from him and no one else can reach Tier 16 through the laws of magic. However, Morgana once stole part of his law and became the avatar of Dark Magic, which is why they are mortal enemies and why their legends are so intertwined. Ian will become the avatar of arcane knowledge, the avatar of all knowledge involving power or the occult.
I didn't plan too much for the ending, but there are several plot points in my outline. First, Ian will have a small-scale conflict with Magekind. After meeting again, these people with a high degree of monoculture cannot believe that the "barbarians" they left on their home planet could give birth to such a powerful civilization after they left. Ian will show off to them, but things will not escalate too seriously. He will even try to rescue them when their civilization is destroyed.
Second, Bellatrix will have an unexpected pregnancy, which means that Empire will usher in an heir. I originally planned to make this child very unnatural, and he will be Tier 6 when he is still a baby. I am looking forward to writing the plot of Ian becoming a father. Although the arrival of this child is an accident, he will be ecstatic, and at the same time worried about the current situation of the universe.
Finally, Arcane Empire will be destroyed when Ian reaches around Tier 15. There is no eternal Empire, and this Empire is the same. I mentioned before that there was a dead [Arcane Emperor], and when Ian chose this name, he also inherited the latter's fate, which is the parallel foreshadowing I laid. Although Ian's family will be fine, Empire and many others will be wiped out in the war.
The destruction of the Empire will activate "Inheritance State", essentially allowing Ian to leave his legacy to someone else, who will inherit the title and the knowledge of the Empire. Now, the entire universe is on the verge of destruction, meaning this approach seems pointless. One thing Ian will learn is that beyond the entire universe, there is a wider realm known as Chaos Origin, also known as Hongmeng in the Eastern World.
Chaos Origin is basically a grander version of Void, but it accommodates not countless universes, but countless whole universes. In fact, in Chaos Origin, each whole universe is called a Chaos Universe. Ian will pass the inheritance of the Arcane Empire through Chaos Origin and send it to other Chaos Universe. In fact, it was his desire to do this that made him think of how to win this war.
In the final volume, Ian will use the data collected from Fatima's daughter to work with one Old Ones Fusion to reach Tier 17: Transcender. He will be the first person in this universe. Unfortunately, there are five other Tier 17s on Old Ones's side. The only reason why they didn't directly destroy the universe is because they treat everything as a game. But now that Ian has become a real threat, they decided to end everything as soon as possible.
Ian will fight them to a stalemate, but as time goes by, he will slowly be weakened. So, he chooses another path. He will set up a powerful seal around his world to block these five guys, and then send his clones to other Chaos Universe to spread his legacy and find the way to Tier 18.
