Watching my side begin to slowly overwhelm the enemy…every 5 seconds 100s of the fodder on the other side is eliminated. If I wasn't underwater I would probably conjure a chair and popcorn while enjoying the show but I am not that lucky.

A Kraken from the other side joins and I am surprised to see that it can actually handle the Omnitrix's creatures. Most of the Omnitrix's creatures I genetically modified to a bit better than it would usually be, so that is why I am surprised, but then again the shark I blew up was also quite strong.

Its tentacles try to block my minions from exterminating their weaker forces. I already spent more time on this planet than I wanted so I immediately go forward and smash the Kraken with Sortem sending it flying through the water.

Now that the Kraken isn't defending the temple I am sure my minions can make short work of the rest. It tries to get aggressive with its tentacles, but I transform Sortem into a blade and with the controlling enchantment I easily command it to slice the tentacles.

A magical uru blade is something that can get past even my defence, so it isn't a surprise to see it losing its tentacles. The shriek and growls of rage force me to defend my ears again.

This method of attack is far more effective than my fight with the shark since I used a blunt weapon then. I wanted to have my fun then, that is why I refrained from using a blade that can cut through almost anything.

Now I just want that purple stone so I want to make quick work of the beast. The Kraken has more than one heart, so I command my blade to quickly fly through them ending the fight. Its guts and blood flying about make for quite the gory sight.

In the end, my fight with the creature only took a few minutes. My minions and son used the time well to finish the rest off. I summon the Omnitrix back and my minions disappear into the watch.

I am glad I upgraded the Omnitrix. I don't really have much use for it since I am already pretty strong and magic makes my skill set quite diverse. I contemplated creating another Vilgax or lending it to one of my children down the road before getting the idea to make it my mobile army. It can't create hundreds of powerful people yet, but in the future, it is definitely possible.

I swam towards Jormungandr who is just a few meters away from the temple. "Nice move, father. I am surprised that you can make something overpowered even more overpowered." He replies.

"It was a pain in the ass to implement so I am glad that it is so useful. To think it is only in the beta version. Sometimes I surprise myself with the things I can create…I can't believe I offered you the thing and you had the balls to deny." I say.

"Any chance I can take back my decision." He asks. "I wanted to be able to learn how to transform into different things by myself without running to father for help."

"I can see where you're coming from … and no you had your chance now I am keeping it."

"Damn, tough luck. I guess we should finish this mission. Maybe I will take some time to study science more to be able to create my own gadget after this mission is done."

Jormungandr shrinks to my length before we begin swimming into the temple. On the way there we encountered a few of the leftover creatures who decided to attack us, but with Jormungandr's toxic magic and strength; me and my personal weapon, we made quick work of them, before reaching the room housing the orb containing the infinity stone.

When we entered we saw that the orb was open and the power stone was leaking. "No wonder these creatures are so strong, years of being subjected to the radiation of this purple gem must be doing wonders to them." Jormungandr says.

"To think I still work out to stop my physique from deteriorating and these fucks just have free get out of the gym cards." I replied. "Life is so unfair."

I carefully swim to the orb, guard up in case the stone is volatile. I am thankful that I didn't have to teleport to avoid an explosion. I closed the orb and held it in my hand. To think something so small can hold something so powerful is simply inconceivable.

"I guess we are done." Jormungandr says.

"Not yet." I say.

I open the orb again and grab the stone in my hand. I am not surprised that I can handle the stone with my bare hand, but I am certainly pleased. I open a portal and throw Jormungandr in, sending him back to Perfectum.

I transform Sortem into a gauntlet with a tiny hole in it and insert the power stone in it. I smash the gauntlet into the ground as hard as I can before teleporting to Perfectum myself. I look from the surface of my artificial planet as purple lines begin forming on the planet. This goes on for a minute before the planet explodes.

"Hahahaha." I laugh like a bad villain. Most likely not looking very sane to Jormungandr who is next to me. I really just wanted to know what the damage would be and I am not disappointed.

"So you blew up a planet." He states in disbelief.

"Yep, not bad for my latest toy. It certainly helps that the explosion removed evidence of us being here."

"I am surprised that I am sane after being raised by you." He says shaking his head. "Good night father I think I am going to bed and I will probably find a therapist in the morning to see if I am okay since insane people usually don't know when they are insane. I suggest you do the same."

"Cheeky little brat. Don't worry this was just a calculated move and my mental faculties are more than okay." I say before I decide to go to my house and get in a bath.

Before I can reach my desired location I am assaulted by my little girl. I open my arms and watch as she dives in them. I close my arms around her.

"Papa that was so cool. The planet was purple before going kaboom." She babbles.

'Fuck.' I thought she would still be asleep. "Yeah did you like it. I created the show just for you. Don't forget to not tell your mother otherwise she will not let me show more of these shows to you."

She nods into my shoulder and relaxes in my embrace for a second.

"Papa you stink." She says as her nose scrunches up.

I make a faux heartbroken expression. "Why are all my children so mean, it is almost like I am a bad father."

"Papa is the best. Don't worry, the bath will make everything better and then you will be better in the smelling area too." She says as I let myself be led to the bathroom.

"You better hurry up back to bed or else you will have extra vegetables in your dinner tonight." She gains a frightened expression at that before running off. I just chuckle at my icicle before entering the bath to get rid of all that filth.
