Rings Assembled Part 3 Chp 42

I just grab Doom and essentially rip his armor off before he even blinks. I bind him as well, I wanted to do something if he refuses he dies.

"I am going to make you a deal Victor," I told him once he stood up and noticed his armor was in pieces.

He glared at me as I noticed that his hands lit up with magical energy but they seem to be fading slowly as his breath begins to get more labored.

(Holy sh#t this guy is a f#cking genius and very stubborn) I thought once I realized what he is doing.

He is not drawing any energy from any dimension at least not yet. He is essentially turning his stamina into magical energy. This helps explain his eight pack since he is pretty much working out using magic.

I was laughing at the misfortune of other universes who had to work out to increase their magic since just making his hands light up with energy would have killed three human athletes already that fact that he is still standing speaks a lot of his stamina. I could do it too except that it's not nearly as powerful as maybe drawing on someone's lifeforce energy while it's not the strongest magical energy out there.

I speed myself up when I realized something else.

(Green energy sh#t) I thought to myself there is some information in the fortress about the Green Lantern corp. I should have been more careful with my wish when I said I wanted the fortress to work in all universes it seemed smart but some part of it made some other rules to the universe that I am in. While Kryptonians didn't know how to make the lanterns themselves they knew about hard light projections that were inspired by them.

I sensed some energy coming from the black ring. I know that it is connected to the dark force. I hope it doesn't mean what I think it does. I turned over to Victor to give him his choice.

"I am a realm lord, I will grant you the ability to use magic from my realm as a form of apology and an alliance to rule from the shadows," In all honesty much as it pains me to admit Doom has the right idea when it comes to ruling.

While some of his people still live in stone houses they have the best healthcare and food they can hope to get. My problem with him is that he lets his arrogance get in his way too many times.

I want to see a world ruled by a Doom from the shadows if he can improve the lives of everyone. I used my telepathy to its fullest to feel the emotions and some memories of his people. It makes me sad and happy to see them. T

hey are more than happy they are content with everything that they have. I quickly look at them with my supervision to see if anything about them is altered. It isn't.

I can see some children playing in their backyard and even playing on some consoles that I could tell were modified by Doom to be more efficient nothing to spy on them or keep them under control.

I looked through Victor's memories and saw that his people don't even have to pay taxes at all. Heck, he even pays a female to help deal with some decisions regarding personal things for women. I saw him sent his newest and best bots to help the elderly with whatever they want.

I saw through his memories again to see if he is evil and while he has made some morally questionable choices in his life there is no doubt that his people look at him as a savior. He has singlehandedly turned a third-world country (Latveria) into a near paradise, with the lowest unemployment rates, best education levels, lowest crime rates, and lowest suicide rates in the world.

He made a sort of colosseum where people who have problems with each other can fight it out, no killing though. Humans will be humans I guess

Making an alliance with him and try to make him into a sort of shadow ruler is the best choice.

"What is the catch I serve you forever," He responded with obvious distrust and curiosity and a bit of wariness when dealing with me.

"No catch except you help the world the way you helped your people," I said back to him

"Why are you asking this of me?" He asked in a more curious tone

(He really is incredibly inexperienced) I thought to myself(I can use this to my advantage making him, help everyone discreetly while neutralizing him forever and even if he does turn against me, I can just use the magic I give him to kill him) I thought thinking about the advantages imagine if the Avengers had a Doctor Doom on his side. If he uses magic to enhance his strength even once I will be able to kill him. I am not giving access to the speed force or the crimson energy, fu#k no, just general access to magic. No way anyone could handle him if he got Platinum Kryptonite he wouldn't be able to summon it.

"I have seen how you have helped your people and the way you have improved their lives I am offering you a chance to help everyone from the shadows there too many examples of people who have done so in the light and failed," I was really trying to convince him now to play on his ego.

"I have seen many futures with others at the front line of these changes the results are chaotic and usually end in failure if you are not there to help them along and keep them together," I continued sensing his emotions and his current memories and I got him.

"Why do I have to do rule from the shadows," he asked his ego wanting to make everyone know his name.

"Humans are a greedy race by nature you help them to be better in the spotlight and your plans of worldwide domination will fail," I said trying to curb his huge ego.

"So if I rule from the shadows I will be successful," He said pondering my response

"Will everyone know who I am?" He said trying to hide his curiosity now.

"In time as it will require great patience as well," I said knowing that I got him

"It's a deal," He said as I raised my hand to shake his. I could feel some beings trying to break into my head.

As he shakes my hand I could feel him more or less draw on the Zone. I could sense his mind become a lot less how to describe, freer as if there was some pressure on him that clouded his mind begin to dissipate.

He slowly grabbed his head

"Thank you, my teachers, warned me of some realm lords that may try to influence my mind slowly corrupting me," He said angrily at the ones that tried to manipulate him. When I gave him access to mine the Zone must have cleared most of his thoughts.

"I must go," He said whispering to me angrily, but not at me. He stopped for a moment as he made an ethereal portal slowly as he let out a small smile.

I realized what happened to him

(F#ck my life) I thought as I realized I have pissed off some very powerful beings that I am guessing were preventing him from connecting to other dimensions until he tried theirs. Even now I could feel them trying to kill me by breaking my mind but they were failing. I thought of my memory of my meeting with TOAA just letting the memory of the power I felt from him that my mind remembered.

Immediately, it stopped even if they didn't know what the meeting was they knew who it was just by the feel of it.

(Having made an ally today I guess was rewarding) I thought thankful for Doom's inexperience in terms of magic.

(N/A Doom won't really help the MC much until at least Thanos arrives. Since killing him off would be too cheap as it really wouldn't have been a battle and remember the MC is not really a goody two shoes when it comes to killing others. Doom won't be getting Speedforce or Crimson Energy or Platinum Kryptonite ever)
