[Chapter 44] the mc stealing the first avenger before he even became one. umu umu

"They should be here somewhere," Alex murmured as he eyed a festival with his dark blue eyes that had a tint of gold in them.

After losing his human half, Alex's Divinity (represented by dark blue) was merged with his serpent half (represented by gold). As a result, his eyes had changed colors.

Why? Don't ask.

"Aha!" Suddenly, his eyes focused on a fragile-looking boy and a well-built man clad in a military uniform next to him.

Alex then did something he never thought he would; he shapeshifted into his adult form.

His hair was now dirty white, his golden eyes had turned yellow, and he had a beard with the same color as his hair.

He had grown taller too; his height He had grown taller, too. His height now was 180cm.

"Gentleman, may I interest you in an offer?" Alex took up his best smile and approached them.

"Hmm...?" Barnes looked back, his eyes focusing on Alex. "Who might you be, sir?"

"My name is Alexander Williams." The white-haired man introduced himself. "I can help your friend, and you become soldiers."

'Suspicious.' Barnes thought but didn't comment on it. He could feel an unknown force pressuring him to accept this offer, even though he was already in the military.

"Really?" Steve Rogers said while looking at him.

"Mhm." Alex nodded his head while opening his newly created phone and creating a few fake pictures in it. "You two will go through a difficult training regimen but come out as super soldiers in the end."

"I accept!" Steve quickly accepted, followed by Barnes.

'This feels like a trap.' Barnes thought but couldn't speak up.

"Great, please follow me." Alex led them somewhere else while he dispatched clones to recruit Howard Stark and Abraham Erskine.

...

"This place..." Barnes looked around him and found that they were in a futuristic lab.

Alex sat on a chair before the duo found themselves in a capsule.

"What is happening?" Barnes said as he looked at the silver lines that entered his body.

"Normal humans are way too weak to be super soldiers," Alex explained as he telepathically controlled the computers. "I'll just upgrade your body a bit."

'When did I accept this!' Yet, Barnes couldn't voice his thoughts before he and Steve were enclosed in a capsule.

"It'll be painless!" Alex shouted from behind the hatch before the silver cables started glowing.

"Oh fuck."

...

After the procedure started, Alex shapeshifted into his teen form once again.

"Much better."

Getting up from his chair, the boy walked to the door and opened it, leaving a clone behind.

...

After walking through the corridors for a while, the boy looked up at the stars. He was on top of a spaceship, the area around him filled with even more.

Suddenly, he felt the aura of a True God (I'm planning to make a chapter for original terms) and found himself in front of an enormous humanoid figure made out of light.

"You carry a familiar aura." The One Above All (I'll shorten it to OAA) said as his form shrunk. "Tell me, who are you?"

OAA didn't say it, but his omniscience didn't work on Alex. Every time the being looked up any info about the boy, his 'eyes' would burn to shreds.

"Alexander Williams." The white-haired boy answered without panic. "Need something?"

Fear was nothing but a human weakness, something Alex had lost after losing his humanity.

"You're a brave one." OAA walked in front of him. "You don't feel like an Outer God but carry their scent."

"Probably because I killed one not long ago," Alex answered while smelling his armpits. "I guess I need to take a bath." Even though he didn't smell anything out of the ordinary, he still decided to take a bath.

"..." OAA looked at him before sighing. "Who sent you here?"

"A very, very large snake."

"Oh." OAA facepalmed. "Of course, it's him."

Jormun didn't have the highest reputation amongst the True Gods, probably because of his playful attitude.

The serpent would occasionally descend to the mortal plane and seduce women with his perfect face before leaving them, sometimes even seducing goddesses.

What a bastard.

"You know him?" Alex asked.

"Every single True God knows him," OAA answered. "He is a bastard."

...

In another multiverse, a certain someone with white hair suddenly looked in OAA's direction.

"Is something wrong, dear?" The woman next to him asked. She was Esdeath, and the universe they were in was Akame Ga Kill.

"No, nothing." Jormun looked at the army of enemies in front of them. "Whoever kills the most wins, correct?"

"Mhm." Esdeath smiled as the area around her began to drop in temperature. "I hope you can keep up!" She said before dashing towards the army.

"Heh."

...

Back in the MCU, OAA felt a shiver on his back before suddenly coughing into his hand. "I hope you don't alter the timeline too much."

"Maybe," Alex answered before he found himself atop the spaceship once again.

"That went well." The boy murmured before getting up. "Now, time to check on those guys."

With a sigh, the white-haired guy walked down the hatch and towards the lab.

...

"Umu!" Entering the room, Alex saw Nero nodding at the duo, her figure dwarfed by them.

"..." Barnes looked at the newly arrived Alex, his eyes darting from his figure to Nero's. "Are you the guy that called himself Alex?"

"Yes." The boy nodded before walking next to Nero. "Come, someone is waiting for you two." He took Nero's hand before walking out of the room. "Come on."

"Coming!"

...

Arriving in yet another lab, Alex found Howard Stark in a black suit.

"It was successful." He spoke before moving to the side. "You can take a few tests if you want."

Howard's eyes suddenly focused on Steve and Barnes. "Magnificent!" He moved next to the duo. "Absolutely magnificent!"

And that's how another day passed for Alex.

–––

Everyone recruited in this arc will be True Neutral. I don't want any heroes except Artoria.

And also, the MC is now True Neutral as the need for freedom is a human weakness (kinda). He will still be mostly the same, though.

The next Servants that'll be summoned: Kid Gil and Dante Sparda.

Good night.
