Edward’s eyes gazed at the past, and he saw the truth. Before Kaecilius pursued Kamar Taj and mysticism to save his wife, she did the same before him once their child was on the verge of dying. In fact, he had the idea once he was dealing with her belongings after her passing.

One of Adria’s attempts was a ceremony that connected her to Mephisto. From that day on, she and that child’s soul secretly belong to the Hell Lord, who has been planning how to descend into the material world. In fact, based on what Edward saw, Mephisto almost succeeded by tricking Adria, but she caught on and stopped at the last minute.

Afterward, Mephisto started to lurk to find his opportunity, which arrived when Edward summoned these souls from the afterlife.

“There was no such thing in the information we had before, meaning our information was incomplete or —”

“This timeline has been radically changed,” Morgana finished.

“What other things are different than expected?” Edward asked. His clone should have done this kind of work.

“Nothing unexpected yet, but we have confirmed that Defenders and the SHIELD people, like Sky, Jemma, and Leo, do not exist in this timeline.”

“These are all talented people, and it would help us plenty if they were here,” Edward commented. These people would have shone in the world had they had access to his training and knowledge.

“We need to move up the plan,” Morgana suggested.

“Indeed,” Edward nodded, preparing to move.

“Wait, we have another bad news.”

“What is it?”

“The twins are gone?”

“What?” He immediately checked, and as expected, Wanda and her brother were gone from the family he placed them in.

“Mephisto should have made a move.”

“She’s the Scarlet Witch. Of course, he would be interested,” Morgana explained. “So, what now?”

“We have eliminated his weakness to Kryptonite, but this is the best we can do for magic.”

The Time Force needed people he could trust, and they needed to be powerful very fast. So, Edward used the Kryptonian DNA he acquired to build the Time Agents before providing them with enough sun energy to increase their strength. Because he modified their Life Code severely– especially to remove their magic weakness— most of these agents were between Tier 4 and 6. As such, he decided to create a more pure and powerful Kryptonite as their leader and boss: Ra.

Ra was a semi-success as he achieved Tier 10 after absorbing countless suns, but he was still weak to magic. Of course, it was not any magic, but if he met an opponent like Edward or the Ancient One, this would be a problem.

“If we could get the Life Code of these Superman clones like Omni-Man and combine with it Kryptonian DNA, we might have perfected Ra,” Edward commented. “However, this is good enough for now.”

“Do you want to build an Anti-Magic Armor for him?” Morgana asked.

“You know my mind,” Edward nodded before activating Ra.

“My Lord,” said the newly elected leader of the Time Force.

“You know your job?”

“Yes. I have all the memories necessary to serve you.”

“Good. You’re dismissed.”

After Ra left, Edward condensed another clone and tasked him to build the armor for the Kryptonian.

“Where next?” Morgana asked.

“Now that this thing is operational, let’s test its ability.”

“Don’t you want to deal with Nick Fury? He should be going insane with losing so many bases and agents.”

“Let the clone deal with him.”

After taking an hour to prepare, Edward opened a portal to another timeline. He went to get Albion.
