Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, May 1986

It has been a few days since I left the chaos sea. I finally made it to the exclusion zone. By the way, I finally saw how I looked sometime along the here. A person of average appearance with pale blond hair, blue eyes, a relatively fit body. Not bad at all. At least, could have been much worse. I think I will call myself Adam from now on considering that I share so many similarities with him. Whether it is looks or our relation to the chaos sea and god almighty, they are very similar. Of course, I don't have a divine appearance or anything like that, so that is a difference. As for the last name? Forget it for now. I will think about it when there is a need for it.

The exclusion zone is still currently chaotic with civilians and military officials scrambling about everywhere. I think they will start testing influence of radiation emitted from Chernobyl soon. Still, even this place will become a no man zone soon. I think it was one of the most radioactive places on earth if I remember correctly. And also a place of interest for scientists to conduct research. Maybe I can use scientific knowledge I learned in my previous life to gain influence around here, but that is for after I have everything figured out.

Right, I occupied a relatively isolated spot for myself. I am wearing tattered clothes and dirty clothes right now so I clearly don't look well off. Other people won't be disturbing me much either. I guess this shabby appearance has its uses as well. As I was carrying a mirror around, many people might have thought that I was stupid. After all, I don't think anyone would be carrying mirrors while fleeing their homes and having possibly had their lives hanging in the balance. But anyway, these people having enough things to worry about already, won't care much about a shabbily dressed weirdo like me I guess. Granted, I am not very good at communicating with people either. Talking with a mirror might have also had something to do with cementing the image of my suspected craziness.

I finally took arrodes in my hand and got ready to communicate with it to understand the world better.

"So, Arrodes, do you have any new information you can provide me about the world, especially about those pantheons you mentioned?"

" Great master, most have the pantheons spread minimal influence in the current world. And they are thought of as myths or legends. Although the Norse pantheon will be much more active in the future years according to my observations. Especially that Thor and Loki. Although, in truth, these so called 'gods' are nothing more than stronger beings and not true gods like yourself."

The mirror did not leave any opportunity to flatter. But this is interesting. Thor and Loki huh. I know quite a few world that have these two.

"By the principle of reciprocity, please answer me great master, what do you think of having me as your personal attendant?"

Stolen story; please report.

I think Arrodes had asked the same question to Klein once. Anyway, the mirror is already more or less my 'personal attendant' at this point.

"We will see about that in the future. If someone else better suited for that role comes along, they can be my personal attendant." I replied. Even though I have no plans of having an attendant at all.

" I will work hard to get this position. Your question, exalted master?"

"Tell me what are some of the true gods you mentioned."

"The true gods are cosmic entities such as death, oblivion, eternity or infinity. Pardon me, great master, but I cannot peep into more secrets about them. Though, your exalted self is definitely above them."

Dammit…is this world marvel? Aren't these 4 from marvel or were they there in any other worlds as well. I hope not. That is also one terrifying world. If Lord of the mysteries and marvel were to combine together, won't the level of terror be off the charts?

"Great master, are you alright?" Arrodes asked. Perhaps noticing my distress.

I calmed myself and though about questions to ask and confirm if this world was really marvel. And if it was really marvel, would it be the world of comics or movies. Those two were on completely different levels entirely after all. The MCU was childs play compared to the comics.

"I am fine. No need to worry." I replied with a straight face. I then asked " Are there any people called Steve Rogers or Tony Stark in this world?"

"Yes, the Steve Rogers you mentioned is currently frozen while Tony Stark is 16 years old right now. Would like their locations?"

"No need. I was just confirming something."

F***, its really marvel. Though how does LoTM fit into marvel? Are there any other worlds as well? The level of chaos in marvel comics is really high. I hope this world is not the comic book version. After all, universes and the whole multiverse as well might be destroyed on a daily basis. One day cosmic beings might destroy the world for fun while the next they get their ass whooped by a mortal. Then there are plenty of lunatics on the loose like Thanos as well.

" What about mutants?" I quickly asked.

" Yes, great master, the mutants carrying the x-gene do exist in this world. And many other universes as well."

This is definitely not the MCU if mutants exist in the same world as the main MCU cast. This world is most likely similar to the comics. I have a little bit of marvel knowledge so I can think of was to gain power to survive in this world, but my main cheat should be likely be the chaos sea and the five beyonder pathways of the god almighty group. If I can, really become an above the sequence then surviving should not be a problem? No, I can't be sure of that. Since this is not LoTM, I don't know if there is a god almighty who wants to resurrect through me or not. Also, just being a cosmic superpower does not equal safe in marvel. As I said earlier plenty mortals have defeated gods and cosmic beings in marvel.

"Great master, do you plan on returning to your divine throne soon?"

"….I have my own arrangements. You will see in the future."

"Very well, I shall look at your rise to regain your power and note them down first-hand for others to know your greatness."

Please don't. I have no plan. Others don't need to know about my stupidity. Aah, I'm tired. Will I wake up in my previous life again if I sleep? I just don't care anymore.

"….Do things in moderation. No need to make a fuss out of it."

Seriously, there is no need.

Hi! I finally got the motivation to write a chapter after a long time. Between having university courses and thinking of ideas for chapters, I just felt so tired and lazy. Sorry!
