A/N: Hey all I'm sorry to say your fears are completely justified this time. See I was working on the outline for the next couple of chapters when I realized I'd broken the main character. Yes, I know he's supposed to be OP and everything but with how my current timeline is going he was going to get way too powerful, way too fast. I notice it first when I was working on the next one-shot and Nico just waltz through 'The HAND' like he was strolling through the park. So, the part I'm stuck at is figuring out a good logical reason for nerfing him that won't come back to bite me in the butt AND makes sense story-wise. So here it comes the dreaded Hiatus. I don't know how it will actually take cause I'm going to set this down for a while doing some more research on the real big bad Nico is destined to fight. No Thanos is just a mini-boss in this story. In the meanwhile, I'm going to finish my other project which I will release once I finish the 1st arc.
Mr. Shadow's office
Outside of time and space
"Sir we have a problem with the candidate." Mr. shadow was communicating with his boss. "Our predictions show that while he will be able to complete our task, he won't be completely under our control at that time."
"Ah, that pesky free will again, I told you this would happen. Well, you were the one to choose this candidate, I assume you have you suggestions of how to solve this problem?"
"Well we've been working on a solution but it's going to take some time. One of the suggestions is a complete reset with better controls on the subject like a system or a mentor-type that doles out skills and powers to our benefit. Another is to find some mystical sounding reason to nerf the subject's growing powers so that he will be more malleable and grateful to us later. Regardless of what we eventually chose, the analysis of the different choices will take some time to complete."
"So be it. Even if we weren't outside of time right now we are immortal we have the time to waste. Contact me when you have the results ready"
