Slowly making his way out of the shadows Josh stood firmly infront of Donna with nothing more than a flaming ranbow colidecope for a head he decided that not showing his real face would only benefit him.
*being in marvel means that I'll definitely have to deal with the hell lords governing their own dimensions but with his being so small I'll definitely needed to grow this realm. To grow this space I'll need more souls and and an envoy I don't want to do it myself but the symbiotes definitely can. With Donna entering the Hive with a simbiote he immediately felt the difference feeling his control over the world become far stronger he began being able to feel an even greater connection to the vampires he's currently able to see everything everyone is doing alongside being able to have a symbiote Avatar.*
Josh made 5 rooms he altered the main room where his flames originally were to be hidden away from everywhere else. leaving a large decoy flame in a final room, he altered the space to separate where everyone was located he designated where everyone's codex's would appear they were separated by species with Heme finding herself were the vampires were.
Josh was surprised by Heme being so easily controlled she only had some genetic memories alongside the rage ingrained in their species, after taking the memories she had he added and altered a lot of memories creating basically a whole new person granting her the name Heme. He wanted to see if immediately altering her memories would change how she works with her new partner.
Arriving infront of Donna with a clear soul for a head I welcomed her 'hello it is a pleasure to meet you I was given the name Caspar Manhattan by the first ever person to enter this place I was given the duty to collect everything the world has to offer by the historian to chronicle everything in history.'
Josh could tell that Donna was amazed at what Casper was doing collecting everything in the world. Josh wanted to have them collect things into this place on their own but he was worried about how to convince them, to collect and gather information when the answer crawled right onto his leg.
Josh watched as a spider made its way onto his shoulder, nothing brings people back like power. Deciding to continue the facade he said 'I will grant a blessing if what is returned is of value be it information, power or any else special. While my powers are immense I am unable to leave this space bound by stronger gods, I can still grant blessings but only in this space outside of reality.'
By looking into her mind he immediately could tell that she fell for it wanting to get a blessing from him, waiting for her to speak she asked "what would it cost to get a blessing honerd one for I lack in strength to do anything profound."
Josh told Donna 'all you must do is is collect or make something unique and bring it into this space. The reason I chose to gave my blessing to a vampire is because it would allow for more people to enter this space. I will grant you or anyone my first blessing when someone brings 10 unique gifts to this place, Marrie has already collected 2 unique gifts, you and Heme.'
Donna was excited saying "great then do I have a point for bringing scream into this place?" Josh said 'yes, you can get more points depending on how rare to find and unique the thing is. Somthing already documented is worth a single point with things undocumented being worth several times more. Turning someone into a vampire is a valuable way of farming points, while every vampire is worth a single point finding a unique strain of vampire is possible and worth far more.'
Donna was excited she could definitely make a few vampires to get revenge. Donna excited by the prospect of getting a blessing asked "is it possible to come back here after I leave?"she didn't want to be left with no way back to the hive.
Josh explained 'This place is always open it's possible to meet anyone else also connected to the hive here it allows for telepathy between parties with a codex here through the great flame. To enter this space one must only enter.' Decideding that he's done enough he implanted all of the information into his new recruits making sure everyone was aware of if.
Leaving the hive Josh layed down on his bed exhausted, going from designing a good layout for the hive to implanting more memories. Laying on his bed he used the time to think more about the situation.
*I currently implanted the information inside all their heads changed the layout of my realm so that nobody could ever make their way to somewhere important. Since there's definitely going to be an increase in vampires a set for them to appear together for ease in sorting, since they'll do everything in that sense I need to put my eyes on a different prize he wanted to grow the veriaty of my gallery so I'll use my blood to get more lizards running around.
The lizards will make a big distraction to allow for easy sampling from heroes while also hopefully stimulating creativity for more villains. I know that after the iron man movies several variants of the extremis virus was made with one even being able to cure cancer though it still failed but with passify is nothing more than a benefit for him.
Being able to collect such unique specimens is an absolute thrill. Maybe I should also try looking into this world's werewolves. All I know about them is mostly from the memories of Marrie, vampires around forests or urban areas are often targeted because they target anything supernatural during their frenzy with vampires being the easiest to find.
Werewolves that enter cities don't live long they are usually killed during their first transformations, with teams speacalized in hunting werewolves being needed. Not all vampire tribes can hunt werewolves being to weak to do so by themselves hireing other tribes to do so, it was why most vampires looked down on Decon Frost here, Being in the city with no werewolves he's thriving with his night clubs here freely under the protection of the council leaving him as a fidgure head with no real authority.
The current timeline is sometime before blade becaus he's currently being helped to build the supercomputer that will help translate the text to become a blood god. So the best thing to do is to probably set an ambush to usurp the power from the ritual by sending a piece of my symbiote Avatar. Controlling a piece of myself to break off is surprisingly easy with the whole dimension under my control.*
Deciding that he should get a head start Josh felt his symbiote self wash over his body leaving him in a black and yellow skintight bodysuit with the iconic spider motif plastered on his back. 'This is definitely pretty dope, I want more.As a great man once said "this universe is an open book to me"and my gallery will only grow ' Releasing his tendrils like giant spider legs he continued controlling the symbiote in more and more intricate ways.
After practiceing using the simbiote in difficult ways like making different constructs like different blades and whips Josh decided that he was ready, after easily separating a piece of the symbiote he let it loose into the hive he was going to send it to Mitchel to be a middleman between him and Decon frost.
After leaving it to its mission Josh decided that he should wait until he can get a sample of blades blood before becoming a vampire so decided to work on the lizard serum. Dedicating his time to reviewing everything he had on the lizard serum, the serum, the lizard serum created by Dr curit conners was a chemical compound that imprinted lizard genetics on to the taker. She serum works in theory but in practice all the mice die after they heal.
Josh wanted to try using his symbiote to create the serum so that it can be mass produced. *using symbiotes can't be used long term because while their useful they are flawed they are far to weak on their own and need a host. I can directly enter this space only due to the symbiotes since previously it was only accessible through my own personal body while it's good now will definitely be a hassle later to scale up.*
Wanting to avoid most of the problems he had with symbiote he decided to have all of his avatars enter the symbiote he got the idea basing If off the powers of alucard *since an avatar froms when somthing new enters the hive I'm going to store everything in one place inside my soul. I don't want to risk having anything happen to my soul so having my avatars rest and stay in my soul I'll then be directly able to move them through the other symbiotes at anytime instead of just through my own personal body*
After practicing releasing several avatars of different sizes simultaneously he noticed something he began bleeding from his nose it was strange. Josh decided to enter the hive, finding himself surrounded by his soul he immediately noticed the dimness in several of the flames.
Looking around at the current state of his soul he didn't see any subtantal damage the main problems seemed to stem from several flames, taking note he said *that's new* looking around he saw that a new flame seemed to have appeared it was a blood red flame it seemed to be over growing several of the flames.
*it seems that my soul is acclimating to the vampire essence in the hive it seems to be doing something to my body.* making his way over to the white flame where his gene was he immediately took notice of how dim it became, placing his hand in the fire he felt what what's happening.
*it seems that it seems like my ability to passify everything in the flame is currently being stunted by the emergence of a new ability. It seems like since the hive is storing all the information into my souls I'm beginning to manifest screams mutant ability because of that my x gene is currently growing needing lots of energy and my body can't take it the flame seems to be becoming brittle it's probably the sudden rise of the new red flame that's causing all the ruckus in the hive.*
Making his way over to the red flame he could still see as it grew right before his eyes, placing his hand in the fire he watched as it tried to overwhelm the other flame's nearby with it surprising his x gene in its weaker state. He forcefully suppressed the red flame by using his clear soul to magnify the light to shine bright with the light of pasification, passifying the vampire flame slowing its growth he could still feel it grow but it slowed to a crawl.
Josh feelings the condition of the other flames saw as the golden flame containing his spider powers and the green flame containing the lizard transformation resonated with the red flame. He immediately cut the resonance stoping it's growth completely causing the flame to calm staying steady.
