Chapter 2: Continuing Plans and Overwhelming Power
With the foundation nexus plane in place, the multiverse was spared from total collapse and could now support beings like Malen in them, but there was not much time for relaxing, for there were other threats to this multiverse that Malen learned from Nicol Bolas' memories: The Eldrazi chief among them. As Malen thought on plans and poured through memories for answers, he could not help but notice that the phyrexian army had not left and were looking at him intently for direction and leadership. Eventually Malen gave into their stairs of longing and decided to give the army an assignment.
Malen:" Since I do not know this multiverse by experience as well as you have, I want all of you to go to each of the planes and search for powerful artifacts that I can use. After you have done this, you may return to your home of Rath, which I will expand to an infinity plane where you may life in peace for all eternity."
This was Malen's only request of them and it was the only one they needed as Malen opened portals to each plane he recalled from Bolas' memories.
Sorry that these chapters are lacking in luster and length.
Months at a time, the phyrexians would come back with an artifact that was either hand held in size, or an entire tower, which surprised Malen and gave him a good laugh. While he had to disagree with Yawgmoth's methods of making soldiers and "people", Malen had to admit that they are very effective and efficient at achieving their goals.
After six months' time, The phyrexians managed to obtain and deliver Malen the Staff of Domination, Sword of Body and Mind, Sword of Feast and Famine, Sword of War and Peace, Sword of Fire and Ice, Sword of Light and Shadow, Sword of Kaldra, and a Mox Diamond that he combined with a Basalt monolith to change it from 3 colorless to three of any color and the enchantment power artifact.
Malen infused the 6 swords into Pah Zun and created copies of the enchanted and iproved monolith, and the staff of domination to combine into himself and Pah Zun.
After this process was complete, Malen believed that his side project on bringing Sarkon Val, Jace Beleran, and Chandra Nalar together in front of the Eye of Ugin would bear fruit by releasing the Eldrazi Titans so that Malen could devour them since they could not be actually killed, but changed, like the Daedric Princes.
Days later on the plane of Zendikar:
The land and sky of Zendikar was twisted, bent, and miss formed so much that a lesser mind might break and shatter from just observing it. Malen had a sneaking suspicion as to the origins of the Eldrazi Titans.
The Titans were first conceived in the Blind Eternities that very much resemble the Void, the domain of Sithis and Sithis himself. Because of the Titans extremely chaotic nature, one could deduce that the three Eldrazi Titans could be creations or spawns of Sithis, though Malen only guessed this and could figure a way to prove that and shoved the idea to the back of his mind as he traversed the extremely altered land to the Titans Ulamog, Kozilek, and Ermrakul that could be seen in the distance.
As Malen neared the titans, the reality around him got more and more warped, but did not affect him, which the titans took notice of and sent their legions after him to devour him. In an ironic twist, Malen devoured the legions instead.
Malen:" In your pointless need to slack an endless hunger, you have ended trillions of lives and civilizations. I am here to return that favor!" He said as he increased his size to match theirs, which was the size of huge cities.
Malen did not know their strengths and weaknesses, but due to his immunity and invulnerability, he was able to probe for weaknesses during combat with the titans.
One by one, they each fell to his blade and Malen devoured their essences before they could reform. When Ermrakul, the greatest of the titans, fell and was devour, things did not turn out well for Malen for this was a "straw that broke the camel's back" situation that was about to take effect.
The song "Cometh the Hour" from Bleach, Hell arc begins to play.
Inconceivable pain and agony shot through out Malen's entire being as power overwhelmed his form and violently flowed out of him like a tsunami. Malen was unable to control the power he now possessed and was breaching through space time, creating tears in the fabric of all the planes in MTG multi-verse and beyond. Universes and even gods were utterly broken or destroyed by even the most outstretched reaches of the uncontrollable energies Malen unwillingly released.
Malen had fallen to the ground from the pain, but refused to pass out from it since the power would become even less stable if he was unconscious. He gritted his teeth through the pain and began forcing some of the power into Pah Zun in hopes to elevate some of the power outbursts, but it was not enough even when he birthed a part of his own soul into it to help better control the power flow ( This is similar to Sithis Birthing his own soul, Lorkhan).
Malen:" I'm sorry Tali, but you must help me bear this my love." He reluctantly said as he released the block he placed on their connection to protect Tali from the pain.
This was the moment that Nicol Bolas was waiting for. Malen was too preoccupied to notice or stop him from escaping Malen's soul and using the flow of power through a shared connection for his own malicious ends.
Author's notes: I'm sorry this was a short story, but this also connection to another fanfiction that I am writing: "My First Adventure" (A Mass Effect and DBZ Crossover). I hope this was at least an ok short story for you and hope that you enjoyed it.
