CHAPTER 94

After mercilessly executing the Inhumans who attempted to hide the Terrigen Crystals or failed in doing so, within an hour, all the Terrigen Crystals of Attilan were amassed before Caesar. Without hesitation, he used the Space Stone to collect the crystals, ensuring no traces were left behind. Then, to make sure Attilan would never be operational again, he obliterated its power system with a casual flick of his fingers, severing its defenses permanently.

Afterward, he tossed Loki back to Asgard, not bothering to check whether Odin would imprison or merely scold him. The fact that Loki had initially intended to trade the Mind Stone for a planetary dominion was now irrelevant. For the sake of Ragnarescuing his life, Loki had no choice but to "graciously" forgo any reward.

There was no time to dwell on Loki's predicament. Whether it was mobilizing the Destroyer to assassinate Thor or leading the Chitauri invasion on Midgard, Loki's ambitions had always been a chaotic whirlwind. But to Caesar, these were nothing more than familial quarrels, ones that Odin might tolerate but would inevitably view with disdain.

Loki, however, would adapt. He always did.

Ragnareturned to Earth, ensuring the Skrulls were dealt with before fulfilling his earlier invitation to Tony Stark.

After allowing Stark a week's reprieve on Earth, he sent both Tony and Pepper Potts to Angel, the capital of his celestial dominion. There, pressing research awaited Stark, particularly the advancement of Iron Man armor. Although he had yet to perfect nano-armor, Ragnaensured he had access to enough precious metals and cosmic resources to develop the Mark VII, a suit formidable enough to rival a second-tier powerhouse in the universe—at least for short-term combat.

More importantly, Stark's technology possessed a distinct advantage: mass replication. With enough materials, the Iron Legion was already undergoing rapid expansion, standing alongside the three Angel Legions as another pillar of Caesar's growing might.

Amid these advancements, Ragnaturned his focus to the spoils acquired from Black Bolt's demise. The late Inhuman king's power seed remained unused, awaiting a suitable candidate. However, regarding Terrigenesis, Ragnahad already initiated controlled awakenings, allowing select humans to undergo transformation using the Terrigen Crystals.

Unlike the unpredictable nature of standard Terrigenesis, Caesar's method ensured stability, eliminating the risk of failed mutations. Though most resulting powers were minor, there were still some with immense potential. More notably, those who underwent this transformation broke their natural limitations, meaning their strength could grow through training—an ability few inhumans possessed.

Ragnanever expected to create another Black Bolt, but even third-tier warriors would be a valuable asset. However, Terrigenesis could only affect humans, not aliens, drastically limiting its utility.

Since not all of Earth's population would pledge loyalty, Ragnahandpicked only his most devout followers, ensuring that those granted power would wield it in his name. Thus, the God-Given Warriors were born—a new force distinct from the Angels and Iron Legion. Specialized for covert operations, their unique abilities made them ideal for small-scale missions where brute strength alone wouldn't suffice.

As Ragnacontinued these experiments, he subtly felt changes within his own soul, a phenomenon he chose to observe in silence.

Meanwhile, across Earth's digital networks, confidential footage of Skrulls infiltrating human society and conducting grotesque experiments on humans and Mutants had gone viral. Outrage spread like wildfire.

Public trust in world governments eroded rapidly, as millions demanded full disclosure about extraterrestrials, angels, and even gods.

Mutants, too, reacted with fury. While not all mutants joined the unrest, some factions saw the human government's failures as reason enough to rise up. Yet, the chaos was swiftly quelled. With SHIELD under Phil Coulson's leadership, bolstered by Caesar's Angelic forces, any large-scale uprising was swiftly neutralized.

But beneath the surface, a new shadow loomed.

The leak was no accident—it was orchestrated. A powerful hacker group, Rising Tide, had deliberately spread the classified data.

Recognizing the threat, Coulson mobilized SHIELD's elite, launching an extensive manhunt for the group's leader. Some secrets, after all, were too dangerous to be left exposed.

Yet, while SHIELD battled the cyber threat, Ragnareceived an unexpected visitor.

He had chosen to reside in a lavish estate on Earth, rather than seclude himself on a celestial warship. A ruler should experience the world he governs, after all. Though his estate was enormous and heavily fortified, he had ensured it retained the charm of "ordinary" human life.

And then, she arrived.

A young woman stood at his door, her long black hair cascading over her shoulders, framing her delicate yet determined face. Her large, bright eyes shone with curiosity and resolve.

Before she could even knock, Ragnawilled space to fold, pulling her directly into his presence.

Her lips parted in awe.

"Oh my god… that was incredible!" she breathed, excitement flickering across her expression. "Are you… the new god?"

Ragnaobserved her with amusement, already knowing the answer to the question before she spoke.

"If there's no other contender for the title, then yes, Skye, I am."

Beyond recognizing her from memory, he had foreseen this meeting. The power seed he claimed from Black Bolt had been waiting for a compatible host—and she was the perfect candidate.

But that wasn't why she had come.

"I found your name buried in deep-web databases," Skye admitted, stepping forward with barely restrained excitement. "You have access to information beyond anyone on Earth. I need your help!"

Her voice trembled slightly, betraying the deep personal turmoil behind her request.

"I want to know the truth about my parents. I've never met them." Her fingers curled into tight fists. "I've searched everywhere, hacked every possible system, but it's like they never existed."

She swallowed hard, her gaze locking onto Caesar's.

"Can you help me find them?"

Ragnaleaned back, studying her with an amused smirk.

She was brilliant, that much was clear. A natural-born genius, her mind functioned like a supercomputer. Given time, she might have uncovered the truth on her own.

But her obsession with her past had blinded her.

The desperate hope in her voice revealed her true fear—that her parents had abandoned her. That they had never wanted her.

That it wasn't some accident, but a deliberate choice.

Ragnaknew exactly who her parents were. He could tell her the truth right now.

But instead, he merely smiled.

"Of course," he said, his voice soft yet firm. "I can reveal everything about your parents…"

His golden eyes burned with mischief.

"…but at what price?"
