"With that, we're finally done. You should all be feeling the effects of your gifts now. Check your status, just for confirmation. You know—just in case." The Faceless One spoke toward the floating camera that followed him, streaming everything live.
He then snapped his fingers, and the landscape transformed into a space-themed vista. Six colored gems floated in the center, surrounded by distant planets.
"Initially, I'd planned an all-out invasion of Earth-727—the multiverse designated as Marvel—but after conversing with Big G that plan was scrapped as there is still so much to be done in our universe. Gates will still open and all hands need to be on deck to protect ourselves.
"I am the god of humanity. I would never want to send you off to slaughter others of our race without good reason or for greed so any expansion plan is hereby cancelled as we would have our hands full for a long time now thanks to the gates."
"There are new additions to our world.The truth is I have actually lost control of the gates. It happened almost immediately as I used my essence and that of Ophis and Great Red. There was no way I could handle all of that power forever. Luckily it seems to have been transported to another universe that already has its own gates
"One reason I'm doing this… is because I want that cursed future I glimpsed to succeed. Luckily, I have already cut off the main domino that led to it. So most likely it would not happen again."
He waved his hands, and quick images flashed past us.I saw the devils and other races like giants, dragons, minotaurs and more finally break through the barrier. All foaming at the mouth in rage and anticipation after denied for so long.
Fear was palpable among all of us there—and I could only presume the same everywhere else.
"Welcome my brothers and sisters back to the Age when gods walk amongst us."
