Kol Mikaelson – Journey To The Multiverse - Chapter 4

=PART-1

Years passed by quietly and Kol would turn twenty four in a few days. Despite the ups and downs, the life in the village was mostly peaceful.

Currently, Kol was sitting in a clearing not far from the village, holding a square stone tile with strange, yet mysterious engraving carved on top. Kol was constantly injecting his mana in the engraving from different angles and stopped every few seconds, as if to calculate something.

After a while, he nodded in satisfaction and walked towards a stone platform not far away, then he put the tile in one of the blank spaces in the platform. Kol then did some hand signs and the tile that had just been put, suddenly melded with the rest of the platform and created one whole.

If someone observed from the top, they would find that there were a total of five stone platforms with strange, yet mysterious engravings on top. The biggest square platform, then a circular platform inside it and three small square platforms inside the circular one.

After looking around a bit, Kol pointed one hand at the front and drew circles in the air with his other hand. A yellow portal appeared in front of him and he stepped into it, to find himself in his house. Just now, Kol was in the mirror dimension. The mirror dimension existed in the middle of reality and illusion, so it existed as long as the reality existed. Hence, it existed in every world.

After finding no one around, Kol went outside. He found a small crowd gathered not far away from the house and walked towards it, only to find that Niklaus was crying besides Henrik’s bloody dead body and Rebekah was comporting Niklaus. It had been the werewolf attack.

Kol passed the crowd of onlookers and walked towards his family with a heavy heart. He was indeed sad, but he still had to fake the tears and the surprise.

It wasn’t like he was that close to Henrik anyway. Henrik always played with the rest of their available siblings, who were available, unlike Kol who usually just studied in the house and refused to be bothered. That aside, Kol didn’t feel any less sad for his death, even if he already expected it beforehand.

After the incident, Kol knew that he only had a few days left at best, so he took a lot of materials in the mirror dimension and left the house. He was going to use transmutation magic on these materials to turn them into stone tiles and carve the rest of the magic formation on them.

After all, everything that existed in the mirror dimension was just an image of reality, so only the materials from the real world could be used in the formation.

Before Kol left, he showed anger and sadness for his brother’s death and told the rest of his family that he would find a way to get revenge. They just thought that he needed some alone time.

=PART-2

Kol performed a magic on himself that would help sustain his body to not get hungry or sleepy, and would always keep his mind fresh as long as his magic didn’t run out.

Kol worked vary hard and finally completed the only remaining formation in just a day, but he spent extra two days in rechecking everything.

There were three square platforms in the middle of a bigger circular platform. The circular platform was inside the biggest square platform. All these platforms had engraving on top. They were in fact different formations that worked in perfect harmony with each other.

After taking a little rest, Kol took off all his clothes and walked towards the square platform located at the very center. The other two square platforms were located at both it’s sides.

The platform in the center had a little hole in the middle. Kol raised his hand and concentrated. Suddenly a purple stone appeared in his fingers. It was the power stone. He wasn’t touching it directly, but holding it in his fingers with magic. Kol then put the power stone in that hole.

As soon the power stone was put inside, all the formations started lighting up and activated by themselves except for the one on the right.

Kol then walked towards the platform on the left and put the blood essence of Darkseid in the middle. When he let go, the blood essence started floating on it’s own.

Kol then walked towards the only formation that was not lit up. He stood on top of it, n.a.k.e.d and then took a deep breath.

He then leaked a little mana into the formation underneath. Suddenly, the formation lit up, as if, it had received some signal.

The formation responded, and Kol was instantly tied up with a binding spell. Not long after, he lost consciousness.

Kol did not know how long it took. It could be a few minutes or even days. When he woke up, the formation was not lit anymore. Power stone floated in the middle of the center formation, while he was lying down on the one on the right and the blood essence of Darkseid had disappeared.

Kol felt that his whole body was heavy now. It took him a while to adjust, but when he got up, he found many changes in his body.

Currently, Kol had grown eight feet tall and had a thick, rough brown skin. He could feel tremendous strength and vitality flowing thorough his muscular body. His energy reserves had grown enormously.

Darkseid, whose real name was Uxas, was a son of an old god named, Yuga Khan. Before Uxas stole the power of the old gods to become a new god, he used to look like a human being, like all the other natives of Apokolips. Kol’s current appearance was the side effect of transforming his genes into that of Darkseid and acquiring his new god physiology.

Kol was not overly surprised. He knew that this would happen and he had made his decision beforehand. This was the best he could do in such a short time. What he needed the most now was time and strength to survive in this cruel dark age, not his good looks. That told, he could still use spells to change his outer appearance, to the point where he, himself would not notice.

Not to mention the fact that he was now immortal and , he would have the eternity to fix his not so attractive appearance. With all the knowledge of magic he possessed, it was merely a matter of time.

Kol had always liked to stay inconspicuous and this look was not exactly in line with his preference. He had a very little tolerance for those he considered provocative, and often tended to act forcefully. Specially in this period, if he went out, he could be considered a demon, a beast, or all sorts of things.

Mankind’s imagination always runs wild, when it comes to the things that they can not comprehend.

After a while, Kol felt his now enormous energy reserves and took some time to get accustom to it.

Kol knew that this was the Omega effect, which was a cosmic energy field, now fundamental to him. His other abilities more or less manifested from it.

Kol’s body had managed to gather energy even inside the mirror dimension because the energy conversion formation converted the energy from the power stone into the cosmic energy, and his own body then absorbed the cosmic energy and stored it in his cells in the form of Omega Effect.

Cosmic energy, being a fundamental universal energy, could be used to do magic. The magic formation that Kol had created worked on cosmic energy as well.

After getting used to it, Kol used a little transfiguration magic on himself to make himself look exactly like the Kol Mikaelson that everyone knew.

Kol tried a bit and found that he could not reduce his height because his body was now invulnerable to most things. Including any form of magic.

Then, on top of the original transfiguration, Kol used a little illusion magic that would make him look his normal height.

=PART-3

Kol had now transformed himself into a higher being. A god. A new god to be specific. Like Darkseid. Yet, he had not become as powerful as him just because he transformed his genes into the genes of a god. There were many factors involved.

For one thing, Darkseid had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, and his energy reserves had only ever grown along with his age. Not to mention the ever growing strength.

Darkseid had absorbed the divinity of countless old gods. For gods, the divinity is their source of power. Kol only had the original divinity of Darkseid.

After finishing up with everything in the mirror dimension and getting used to all the changes, Kol took back the power stone and opened a magic portal directly to his house as he usually did.

=PART-4

In a normal day, Kol would find at least one member of his family on the other side and converse with them about all sorts of ways that the magic portal could be used. Rebekah would want to travel the world. Niklaus would always find amusing ways to use the portal, like when Kol had to open the portal in the sky and his siblings would find it amusing to throw different things into the portal and watch them fall from the sky. Mikael wanted to use it to surprise the enemies and Esther would usually just want to know how it worked and how Kol could use it.
