Primogenitor in Marvel

Damian appeared above a completely black city somewhere in the Nordic countries.

It was the first time he had seen Hela's place; now that he recalled, he hadn't been to this area since his date with Natasha.

Surveying the city, he noticed its militaristic nature; there were many soldiers, more than the percentage of civilians.

No one came out to greet him; if he wanted to, no one could detect him.

Damian conducted a rather superficial scan of the entire city until he detected Hela's presence.

Damian teleported directly outside Hela's room before knocking on the door.

"Come in," Hela said.

Damian found nothing unusual; he simply opened the door and entered.

Upon entering the room, he immediately had to duck as a sword swung directly towards his neck.

"Are you insane?" Damian said, looking at Hela.

"And why aren't you dressed?" Damian said, speechless, as Hela was only in her underwear.

"I was changing," Hela said without any shame.

"Then you shouldn't have said to come in," Damian said, shaking his head before averting his gaze and curiously observing her room.

"The only person who comes into my room is Amelia, and she doesn't usually knock," Hela said, sheathing her sword.

She had actually planned to decapitate whoever was entering her room; that's why she hadn't bothered to get dressed.

"So... what do you need from me?" Hela said, putting on a robe and sitting on the couch.

Damian also approached and sat opposite her.

"Can't I just come to visit?" Damian said, smiling.

Hela merely scoffed at Damian's words, not believing them.

"I want you to help me see something," Damian said, standing up and sitting next to Hela, causing her to raise an eyebrow at him.

Damian created a holographic screen in front of them both, which with the help of the Reality Stone, simulated exactly what had happened.

Hela looked at Damian, who was next to her with a slightly furrowed brow, before turning her attention to the holographic screen, her eyes filling with green lights as she concentrated on the image.

Unlike Damian, who only saw the portal appear out of nowhere, Hela saw multiple streams of red energy converging at a point, subsequently forming a portal.

She was quite familiar with that red energy; it was pure negative emotions, particularly resentment.

All these energies converged at one point as if something was calling them before the portal formed.

The creatures that emerged from the portal were also unfamiliar to Hela's eyes.

As the goddess of death, she knew about all kinds of undead creatures and demons, but the creatures she was seeing now didn't exist in that universe.

The only similar ones were the zombies, but perhaps because the previous zombies existed for a short time and were born from humans on this planet, she didn't find anything strange.

But seeing these zombies, she realized they were very different.

Subsequently, upon seeing real demons emerge, her eyes widened in surprise.

There was no doubt that this was a portal to some kind of demonic world or hell.

"It seems you're in a bit of trouble this time," Hela said, mocking him, as she had said, it was a small problem for someone of Damian's level.

After all, he had seen Damian collapse the portal just by attempting to cross it; destroying that kind of portal was incredibly easy for Damian.

"What is it?" Damian said, looking at Hela.

"Although I'm not exactly sure what this does, I can tell you that some demonic dimension is using resentment to create portals to our world,"

"Although something must have caught the attention of this dimension, something like a large concentration of emotions,"

"Let me guess, you're using humans' emotions to power something," Hela said with a slightly mocking smile.

"But at the same time, you're not using negative emotions; you're just leaving them in the air, which is why they accumulate so much. Furthermore, with people's empowerment, the power of these emotions also becomes stronger,"

"I see," Damian said, nodding, understanding that as long as he wanted to continue with his plans, these invasions wouldn't stop.

Still, he didn't care too much; for now, these invasions were not a threat.

"I understand, thank you; you're very clever," Damian said, nodding as he began to stand up only to be suddenly grabbed by Hela.

"Do you think I'm your subordinate or something? Pay up," Hela said with an annoyed frown as she firmly grasped Damian's wrist.

Damian raised an eyebrow, surprised by her action.

"You're right; you're not my subordinate," Damian said, nodding, sitting back down.

"How do you want me to pay you?." Damian asked, looking at her.

''Your information is not enough for me to pay you with my body'' Damian said quickly before Hela responded as he looked at her with a smile.

"I want information," Hela said, looking Damian in the eyes, she didn't even bother to respond to what he said.

"I want to know the reason behind the system and your plans," Hela said, Damian's plans were important to her as depending on them, in the future, she and Damian could end up becoming enemies.

"You're not asking for too much just for looking at something?" Damian asked with a slight smile.

''Maybe it would be better to offer you my body'' said Damian with a chuckle.

"I charge for what I know," Hela said, unfazed.

"Fine, I won't hide it from you. My plan is to eventually bring the entire universe under the system and therefore under my control," Damian said, looking at Hela.

"The entire universe?" Hela murmured, slightly shifting her gaze.

She remembered that this had also been her goal and the reason for her exile.

She wanted a broader scenario, but her father settled for the nine realms.

"I see," Hela said, nodding.

"Does that intersect with your goals?" Damian asked, looking at her.

"I don't think so. I'm somewhat lost regarding my goals besides seeking vengeance; I've been starting to think about what I'll do next," Hela said, with an inexplicable look in her eyes.

"Then be my ally; let's see how far the universe goes. There's no doubt that there will be many exciting battles ahead," Damian said, looking at her as he extended his hand toward her.

Hela looked into Damian's crimson eyes before looking at the outstretched hand while immediately telling herself not to think about it.

It was going to be the same; she was going to be betrayed. Unknowingly, the betrayal of many years ago had caused her trauma; only at that moment did she realize that she felt fear at the thought of another betrayal.

Hela's eyes refocused on Damian's, despite her inclination to reject him, those eyes seemed to urge her to trust him, making her hesitate.

Amidst the emotional chaos within her, Damian could only see a calm expression, although he sensed that she wasn't as serene as she appeared; someone as strong as Hela wasn't easy to read.

In Hela's mind, her father's words echoed repeatedly, from the time they conquered worlds together to his subsequent betrayal.

Only then did she realize that she was truly lost and broken, with nothing beyond vengeance.

She finally looked at Damian with interest, wondering if this person would show her something different. One thing she was sure of: this person wasn't like her father; perhaps he could show her something she didn't know.

Finally, her hand slowly extended to clasp Damian's.

...

While Hela underwent a mild emotional crisis, people within the event set their own plans in motion.

Tony and Steve walked through the forest.

"We haven't found anything in a while. You bring me bad luck," Tony said, looking at Steve.

"Tell me, what do you think Damian gains by doing all this?" Steve asked, not responding to Tony's jest.

"Tell me, what if Damian were an evil person? What would you be willing to do to protect your family?" Tony asked, not directly answering Steve's question but posing another.

Steve fell silent, not daring to say that he would be willing to do whatever it takes.

"When I found out Pepper was pregnant, I immediately thought that my suits weren't strong enough. I didn't worry about myself; I worried about what could happen to my family," Tony said.

"I think that's Damian's thought process. Just look at him taking down that giant guy. But what if that guy goes after his family? I think the system is the armor Damian created for his family," Tony said, looking at Steve.

"Is everything about armor with you?" Steve said without words, but understanding what Tony meant.

Something must be gained by Damian with all this, but with his limited strength, Steve had no way of knowing what it was.

"It's just an analogy," Tony said, rolling his eyes.

The two continued walking, hoping to find something.

Steve, in particular, seemed to have started worrying about gaining power, something he had never taken much interest in before.

But now that he was going to have a child, he couldn't help but think that he would have to ensure he could protect them. Determination seemed to return to his face, one that he had lost after the war.

Time passed, and that day of the event ended. Everything within the event froze, so when people returned the next day, everything would be exactly in the same place, including them.

There was much chaos after people exited the event.

After all, their identities weren't secret; everyone could see their real faces. It wasn't unusual for two people who knew each other to encounter one another.

If there were benefits involved, it wasn't uncommon to see betrayals resulting in the expulsion of one of the two.

Ross had a headache controlling the streets, as civilians weren't as easy to control as before.

These conflicts occurred worldwide, and unbeknownst to the people, these negative emotions continued to accumulate, like a dam that could burst at any moment.

Many organizations took advantage of spreading their people worldwide, allowing them to enter many time zones, thus increasing the chance of reaching the final, as they didn't have a precise way of finding each other.

With the second day of the event about to begin, excitement was building after a full day of activities for ordinary people.

Many fantasized about finding new fruits or discovering something that would make them extremely powerful.

The information about the fruits had already leaked, and practically everyone knew about them.

What they didn't know was the dramatic decrease in participants. Cortana was the one most aware of this issue.

The decrease was faster than she had supposed, and she couldn't help but think that the event wouldn't last as long.

With the first day over, most things were in order, so her full attention wasn't as necessary.

Reviewing the events that had occurred, she was immediately drawn to the invasion.

Especially when the internet continued to talk about it; magic and mutant animals were already quite crazy for people, but they could reluctantly accept it. But when zombies and demon-like creatures appeared, panic ensued immediately.

Cortana replayed her master's video of pulverizing the zombies repeatedly, with an enchanted look on her face.

Her master looked really handsome with a serious gaze, destroying everything around him.

Following what he had done, she couldn't help but wear a disgruntled expression when she saw him holding Hela's hand.

Growing more serious and reviewing event-related matters, she realized that no one had been able to perform any tricks, and the entire system seemed to be in order.

She was a little worried that loopholes in the system might be found that could be exploited, such as organizations managing to gather their men, giving them a numerical advantage, but so far this hadn't happened.

As the day was ending and deciding to go see what her family was doing, she casually checked the expansion of the system and noticed that it was a bit larger than expected.

Raising an eyebrow quickly, she accessed the system to see what had caused this increase.

Timing the expansion increase, she noticed that it had occurred with the deaths of the demons.

The demons seemed to come charged with quite powerful energy that, upon death, was rapidly absorbed by the system and used for expansion, as that was the system's top priority.

Her eyes immediately lit up, feeling that the demon invasion was actually a good thing.
