Omniscience in Marvel

…

Leucadius watched as the holographic display filled with graphs, numbers, and energy readouts—data streams too fast for any normal human to process, but easily decipherable for him and Aspect.

Aspect's voice cut through the room, offering an explanation as the group observed the intricate display. "As you can see, Aethon's readings are far from typical. His cognitive development is at an extraordinary rate. His Aether energy output is also continuously increasing, and his physical growth is already surpassing standard human capabilities—both children and adults alike."

Thena's eyes flickered from one number to the next. She didn't fully comprehend the fast moving numbers and graphs, but after spending a few couple centuries with Leucadius and Aspect, she could put a few things together.

"Is it safe for him to be outputting this much energy?" she asked, her voice fillee with concern.

Aspect responded immediately, "His body is adapting to it, but at the current rate, we must be cautious. While his Eternal heritage offers resilience, the raw Aether energy he's producing could overwhelm him without proper control."

Leucadius remained calm, analyzing the data. "And how does this compare to what we know of Cosmic energy or enhanced humans?"

Aspect nodded. "Aethon's energy levels are significantly higher than an average Eternal's and vastly beyond anything seen in enhanced humans. His genetic structure is processing the Aether energy in ways we haven't fully mapped yet, likely a consequence of his unique parentage."

Leucadius glanced at Thena. "This is inherited, partly from both of us. Intelligence from me, the enhanced physicality from your Pure Eternal bloodline."

Thena looked at Leucadius for a moment as they both fell silent.

Leucadius was right. She was originally Azura, daughter of Zura, the prime celestial of Olimpia before the Celestial came and took them away, sealing away their memories and implanting fake ones.

Aspect's voice then cut through the silence as the data continued scrolling. "As you can see, Aethon's intellectual capacity is currently equal to or surpassing some of the greatest minds ever recorded on Earth-"

"Oh? Like the Einstein kid?" Leucadius interrupted as he tore his eyes off Thena to the screen.

"More like Tesla's." Aspect replied and continued. "His learning is rapid, bordering on instant, and the Aether energy he's generating is in quantities that are unheard of for any human being except…"

"Yeshua's?"

"Positive."

"Hmm." Leucadius nodded in understanding.

Of all his Children, Yeshua could be said to be the most powerful. Lucifer had an Homunculus for a body and energy pathway similar to Leucadius' body but his application of said energy was dwarfed by Yeshua after his death and resurrection.

Yeshua's death was symbolic since he was initially the Essence of God(Leucadius) in Yggdrasill who was sent to Earth to lay the foundation for his Second Coming.

When Yeshua died, the world grew dark, and the temple veil was torn in two. This event marked the rupturing of the barrier between two different planes of existence.

With his Death, Yeshua opened up a rupture in space and laid the seed for the Merger. The darkening of the sky over the Earth happened as the energy of the cosmos reacted to the immense power shift caused by Yeshua's action.

It was a cosmic event that temporarily threw all realms into turmoil but since it was instantenous, it left no adverse effect so the Council Of Gods looked over it after Leucadius' persuasion.

For Aethon to have an energy bordering his elder brother could only mean he was the perfect individual to carry out The Merge.

With these thoughts running in his mind, Leucadius examined the data carefully, his brow furrowing slightly. "These Aether readings," he said, gesturing to the fluctuating lines of energy on the screen, "how do they compare to what we've seen from Eternal energy levels or even enhanced humans?"

Aspect's eyes flickered for an instant as he dived into the repository of information he'd gathered over the Years. He knew Leucadius wasn't just asking perfunctorily but needed a perfectly accurate answer.

"Aethon's energy output is over ten times the typical energy levels of a fully matured Eternal. As for humans, even those exposed to genetic enhancements or external powers, they generate less than five percent of what Aethon is producing naturally."

Thena inhaled sharply at that. Her expression was a mixture of pride and worry. "That much power… and he's not even trained. He's not aware of what he's holding."

"Does he have a level capacity?"

Leucadius stared at the graphs and energy readouts, his eyes absorbing the data in seconds, as Aspect explained, "Yes, Aethon has a capacity, though it's only due to his current stage of development."

"His body is still that of an infant, and while his energy absorption and output are impressive, they are naturally limited by his physical form. His Eternal lineage would normally provide a fixed growth, but your transcendent status has altered that."

Leucadius nodded, knowing all too well how he had broken free of that genetic constraint when he ascended beyond the typical Eternal. "So his body is still imposing limits. Will this cap remain?"

Aspect's projection adjusted the data, showing how Aethon's energy output currently plateaued. "For now, yes. The pressure his body is under will force this limitation until he matures. Over time, however, this growth restriction will ease, and his full potential will continue to manifest, but only once he reaches a mature age."

Leucadius frowned, sensing the nuance in Aspect's words. "Mature age. Human maturity or God maturity?"

Aspect inclined his head. "God maturity, naturally. For humans, the cap would vary with growth stages, but Aethon's development, like yours, will continue until he peaks as a god-child, likely in his mid-thirties."

Leucadius's frown eased as he nodded in understanding. "Then we only need to observe him closely until he reaches his cap as a child. After that, we'll prepare for the long term."

There was a moment of silence as Leucadius continued looking over the graphs and thinking of all possible points to address. But seeing as everything was alright and could be taken care of, he nodded thoughtfully. "This is why we need the Yggdrasil System. We can't allow him to wield this much power without careful guidance." He turned back to Aspect. "Is there any danger of this Aether energy overwhelming him, given how young he is?"

Aspect's hologram flickered as it processed the question. "There is no immediate danger of his body collapsing under the strain of the energy. However, without proper training, the energy could cause unintended consequences, ranging from environmental disturbances to the triggering of uncontrollable abilities."

Leucadius narrowed his gaze at the projections. Aethon was, in many ways, a walking powerhouse with the potential to create both wonders and disasters alike. "And these abilities," he continued, "are they manifesting yet?"

Aspect's hologram expanded the display further, highlighting certain points in Aethon's biological and energy makeup. "There have been no direct signs of active powers as of yet, but his body is constantly adapting to the influx of Aether. It is likely that his abilities will manifest sooner rather than later, especially given his exposure to both cosmic energy and Yggdrasil's Aether."

Leucadius rubbed his chin thoughtfully, considering the implications. He had expected Aethon to show signs of power eventually, but to see his energy levels surpassing even some of the strongest beings in the universe before reaching maturity was a different level of concern.

His Enhanced Intelligence aside, it would be dangerous if Aethon learned how to harness his energy for other things.

"Aethon's development needs to be closely monitored," Leucadius concluded. "He's not an ordinary child, and we can't allow his powers to grow unchecked. We need to ensure he learns how to control them, before they control him."

Thena's frown deepened as she studied the glowing cube. "You think the Yggdrasil System will be enough to guide him?"

Leucadius glanced at her, his expression softening. "It's a start," he said, his tone gentle. "It'll give us the tools we need to help him. And if anything goes wrong, we'll know immediately."

Thena sighed, her worry still evident but tempered by her trust in Leucadius. "I just don't want him to feel like we're restricting him. He's still a child."

Leucadius nodded, understanding her concern. "We won't restrict him, Thena. We'll guide him. There's a difference. I want Aethon to reach his full potential, but he needs structure, especially with power like this."

At that moment, Aspect's projection shimmered slightly. "The Yggdrasil System has now fully integrated with Aethon's bio-parameters. The system is active, and you will be able to monitor him in real-time."

A deep breath escaped Leucadius's chest, both from relief and the gravity of the situation. The system was in place. Now, all they had to do was ensure Aethon's growth remained on the right path.

As he stared at the floating data, Leucadius's thoughts drifted to the past when he regained consciousness in that underwater City all those years ago.

Remembering his journey back then, he couldn't help but glance at Aspect. 'This fellow made my life a bit excitable back then…' then glancing back at Aethon, '...what if..?"

"Aspect," he called.

"Yes, my lord?" Aspect responded instantly.

"Have you assigned this particular system a name?" Leucadius asked with an inquisitive but purposeful tone.

Aspect hesitated as he tried to understand the point of the question, then replied, "No, sir. I did not see the need. All systems fall under the collective title of Yggdrasil."

Leucadius's lips curved into a subtle smile, an idea forming in his mind. "But my son is not part of a collective."

Aspect tilted his head, his curiosity evident, while Thena glanced at her husband, clearly puzzled.

"The Almighty," Leucadius murmured, as though testing the name on his tongue.

Thena's brow furrowed. "The Almighty? But isn't that your title?" she asked, not yet grasping his intent.

Leucadius nodded with an amused glint in his eyes. "Yes, it is. But it shall also be the name of our son's system."

"The Almighty System?" Thena repeated, trying to understand.

Leucadius shook his head slightly. "No, it remains the Yggdrasil system, in essence. But for him, it will simply be called The Almighty," he said,

He then turned to Aspect. "Send me the blueprint. I need to make a slight modification."

Without hesitation, Aspect vanished, and within a heartbeat, a glowing tesseract materialized in Leucadius's outstretched hand, shimmering with a rich golden hue, the light it cast almost regal in its brilliance.

Leucadius regarded the object for a moment with a deep and contemplative gaze. Then, with a soft hum of acknowledgment, he turned toward Thena. "I won't be long," he assured her.

Without waiting for her reply, he activated his Mystic Eyes as his vision penetrated the core of the cube.

He peered deep into the intricate threads of the system's blueprint, his mind already at work, preparing to make his own adjustments into its delicate architecture.

Moments later, his eyes returned to their normal appearance. "It is done."

"What is done?"

"The perfect system to make sure our son isn't stiffled unnecessarily while growing." Leucadius said and stood up beckoned to Thena to follow him.
