The Retired

It's been a few hours since Alex felt the disturbance and He's very worried as he had encountered this kind of aura only twice before with Thor and Ares.

He's still unsure of the nature of this being but it closely resembled a god or an arch demon though he could kill such being as with the right preparation but the thing that worried him is the devastation they could unleash on Earth.

(AN: Some might remember that he "died" in world war 1 which prevented him from fighting Ares and the reason he "died" at that time was because his healing factor and durability was still susceptible to the explosive might of the bombs and when I say bombs, I mean a warehouse worth of explosive material ranging from grenades to experimental bombs which means disintegration bombs, experimental white phosphorus bomb and lots and lots of different mixtures of explosives, god damn! The humans really let themselves loose at that time and don't get me started with WW2 well anyways back to the story)

He could feel it's connection to the Ley lines of the Earth and that's dangerous because that means the being could potentially influence the world just by existing; case in point, Ares who influence a few leaders in WW1 to incite a war (though you could argue that the leaders only needed a little push to spark the war as tensions were already high at that time), so a being like that will likely put the world in danger.

This being unlike Ares that feels like burning rage or ovelming pride with a smell of Ozone that is Thor, this Being feels like hatred, sorrow and ashes. The being is very weak at the moment but it's been getting stronger over the hours and Alex worries that the aura he felt is in the direction of Themyscira.

Alex curse as he can't help but worry for Diana although he knew, she can take care of herself but he couldn't really help himself so, he tried distracting his mind and tried to remember the timeline (though he knew it wouldn't be hundred percent correct since he change a lot of the timeline but still it's better that than worrying himself to death.

A few while a person came up to him and presented a holo-disk infront of him. "Scrying satellite detected the disturbance over the bermuda triangle sir!." said the person operating the device as he it displayed the current state of Themyscira. "As you can see, a bunch of what seems to be undead are roaming the Island while a few building are set on fire also we found frozen statues of Amazonians that are too unnatural to be a decor of the island." He added.

Alex frown as he realized only one god in greek pantheon was capable of raising the dead as well as fitting in the current timeline.

He gave thanks to the man and ordered to inform him if the situation escalates before teleporting to his lab in France, he called for Skadi and said "Skadi, I need the armor, can you can you ready it for me please, I think it's due time for some testing"

Skadi nodded as a white sphere emerge from the hidden compartment on the ground, it's hatch open and inside a 6'5" tall armor with obsidian like color with glowing runes etched in gold like substance pulsating in the crown, arms and c.h.e.s.t beside it is a golden spear.

(AN: The armor looked similar to Loki prime in warframe with Misa prime syandana on its back)

Alex smiled at it as he touch the shoulder of the armor, it turned into viscous liquid and latch into his arm moving to cover every part of his body.

The armor called Loki warframe (AN: I know its unoriginal) is a Nanite skin made of pure Nth metal. The armor is greatly inspired by the bleeding edge armor though it acts more like the symbiote because of its ability to turn itself into liquid form. The Nanite is controlled by a Neural implant on his neck.

The armor not only protects his body but also boosted his healing factor (although unnecessary) and strengthen his body as it bonds in the host bones and muscle making them virtually unbreakable while remaining flexible at the same time, it has a lot of myriad of other things it can do like such as shift into different forms depending on what the host needs as well as other stuff but what Alex truly loved about this armor is that due to it affecting the supernatural, it negates magic, which means no external magic can affect Alex inside the armor though it also has the consequences of hindering him from casting magic but with little ingenuity, it's easily circ.u.mvented by the runes etched into the armor as various nodes created frpm 8th metal gave him the ability to cast magic in both his arms while also durable enough to withstand a magical blast.

The other runes in the armor makes the armor unbreakable (though there is still the possibility of it breaking, if the enemy has any knowledge of rune) but being unbreakable doesn't mean that it doesn't effect Alex inside the armor as it still hurts Alex a lot because the energy of the impact will still reach him inside that's why the second function of the rune scheme erase this problem, the force redistribution rune is able to temporarily store kinetic energy in the armor's core before needing to discharge it or supplement one of his attacks for a devastating blow; lastly the third rune, is an auto repair rune in case of damage when the unbreakable rune fails.

"The Armor is one hundred percent operational, rune block from 200 to 300 unlock!" Alex muscle tense, while the rune in the armor glowed intensely before the armor started creaking.

Alex frowned, while Skadi hurriedly began typing in her holographic keyboard. "The armor integrity is failing reapplying block now!" She shouted

A series of hissing sound was heard before the previous creaking sound stop and the intense glow settled into a soft one.

"Rune lock on 270 of 300, This is unbelievable! the armor can't handle the release of your magic even though Nth Metal can store a lot of it." Said Skadi before showing the statistics of the armor.

Alex frown deepened the further he read. "No this isn't about the amount of mana released but the quality of the said mana"

Skadi read through the statistics and agreed "you're right, is this because of what you said that the world is tainted?" She ask.

Alex nodded and replied "Yes". He scrolled for a while before facing Skadi "Just record this for now and we'll update the armor at a later date, we still have to assist Diana" he said.

Skadi nodded before entering the armor's mainframe. "I'm in" she said.

Alex once again nodded before saying "Let's travel in style, shall we?"

A sudden rainbow light engulf Alex as it whisk him away.
