Kol Mikaelson – Journey To The Multiverse - Chapter 9

=PART-1

A couple of years had passed since all the werewolves had submitted to Kol.

After the werewolves, it was the time to conquer the witches. Unfortunately, there were several problems with that.

First, it was very difficult to find witches, if they did not want to be found. In this age, most people were hostile to witches and either feared or loathed them, so the witches usually stayed in lesser populated areas. It could be on the outskirts of a faraway village or it could even be in the wild, in some cave or a hut created with magic.

The second problem would be, how to make the witches submit. Kol knew that this time, he could not just come up with some piece of jewelry or serum that would alter their subconscious. Such methods were only temporary and could only work for creatures, who could not use magic, like vampires and werewolves. It would never work on the witches, as it would eventually be found out.

That told, Kol could still make use of certain facts. Most witches lived and died, like normal human beings. There were two kinds of witches. Those who could practice even the dark magic if it meant that they would gain strength from it, and those who considered themselves, the servants of nature and d.e.s.i.r.ed strength in order to maintain balance.

Irrespective of why they practiced magic, Kol came up with a way that would make most witches trust him, or at least temporary consolidate together to form a partnership with him.

What witches valued most, was knowledge. They hid their grimoires like treasure and even passed them down through generations. They only shared them with the members of their coven. So, Kol decided to create a library.

A library would not only attract the witches out of hiding, but it would also create some goodwill with them, not to mention, the witches would bring a large collection of grimoires, magical knowledge, and improvement in military strengths. They could even be used as free laborers to create some of Kol’s original inventions in large numbers.

Of course, they would not be faithful at first, but at the end of the day, Kol’s biggest weapon was not his strength, but eternity. Witches lived and died, like regular human beings, so after a few generations, eventually, they would submit to him. He could even use a credit system and advertise the kind of spells that existed in the library.

Kol was ambitious, but not ambitious enough to put all the spells from the marvel and DC world in the library. He would, at best, either improve the spells from this world or just put some basic spells from his magic knowledge in the soon to be established library.

=PART-2

Time always passes quickly when you do something productive.

It had been more than two decades since Kol and his followers created the Krypto-eden town. At this point, it might as well be called a country.

Currently, he ruled the land that would later be called, the long island, and several nearby islands. Kol chose not to expand his territory further, towards the future New York, so as not to interfere with the development of the world. That told, different tribes of witches, werewolves and even normal human beings came here every day to settle, because the town had become quite famous through all the publicity.

In the beginning, it was very difficult to manage all the different races. The werewolves hated vampires. The vampires hated the werewolves and witches. The witches hated vampires. And the humans hated the vampires, witches, werewolves, and even each other.

In such a situation, it became obvious that strict laws would be needed to discipline these illiterate people, but at the same time, a proper social and economical system and even education system was needed, so that the different races would not have time to fight against each other and busy their minds elsewhere.

At this point, Kol faced two difficult problems. To create a proper society, he had to establish a proper currency, proper punishment methods, and make sure that everyone would work hard to earn whatever they d.e.s.i.r.ed.

For the credit system, Kol invented two new magical products with the help of those witches that wanted access to that knowledge in the library.

The first was the magical cards that calculated and stored credit in the form of numbers. People could now exchange credits among each other and buy products from each other by making use of those cards. They could also use them to receive credit from the administration, depending on separate tasks.

The second was a big magical machine that could store the records of all credit that was exchanged and calculate the equivalent value of gold for every individual.

Kol did not have much gold at this point, but he had already spread his vampires to different areas, in order to find gold mines.

Next was to make sure that everyone worked according to the established system and worked hard to earn whatever they d.e.s.i.r.ed.

The vampires d.e.s.i.r.ed human blood and daylight rings. Werewolves d.e.s.i.r.ed the serum and they ate the same food as human beings. Witches d.e.s.i.r.ed the knowledge in the library and not to be discriminated against. Human beings hated everyone because they feared everyone, but in the end, they only d.e.s.i.r.ed peaceful lives.

Werewolves executed the laws and maintained discipline. They worked with witches.

Vampires managed the medical system since their blood could heal, but they had to work together with human beings, who were on vervain.

The witches managed the library, the education system, and created magical products to make life easier for everyone. They had to work together with vampires and human beings

This was not everything. In fact, vampires and werewolves could act as good spies and they could work together with the witches to maintain communication. After the establishment of some order, Kol planned to create several teams and sent them all over the world to acquire intelligence and establish his rule from the shadows. These teams would include vampires, werewolves, witches and trained human beings, depending on the requirements for the tasks.

When the system was just established and the population of the town was not much, Kol had to face aggression from every race, mostly the witches and normal human beings. In the end, he had to crush them all with overwhelming strength and took away all the grimoires from the witches and sealed their magic as a punishment.

The witches had to earn credits in order to unseal their magic power and live according to the established laws because their grimoires would never be returned.

For human beings, he took away their rights and let them act as slaves for a whole year. That was the time when the new system was just established and the population had declined, so whoever entered the town, was never allowed to leave.

It created some bad reputation for Kol and people stopped coming altogether for some time, but it also lowered the social contradictions between different races and they learned to work together over time. After a few years of struggle and many acts of civil disorder, the order was established once again.

Of course, the fact that the vampires and werewolves accepted the new system without any struggle had a lot to do with the newly established peace. When the witches and human beings saw the same laws applied to them and they, accepting everything without any struggle, it created many doubts. The doubts created a brief peace and Kol made use of that to advertise the benefits of the new system.

This was the Viking era, where it was right for the strongest party to be the most deserving party to rule everyone else. So, the first to submit were human beings. Then, after the witches had witnessed Kol’s ruthlessness to those who opposed him, they submitted as well. As for the bad reputation, time healed everything and what Kol most had, was time. He had eternity on his side.

All this struggle reduced the population of the town, but not by much. In the future, the town would thrive to become a country that would prosper because of the new system.

Now this town was filled with vampires, werewolves, normal human beings, and even the witches. Everyone here lived in peace. The werewolves maintained order here as they patrolled in shifts, both inside and outside the town. It could be seen how much emphasis had been placed on the importance of laws.

=PART-3

Around three decades had passed since Kol’s small town had become a prosperous country.

These days, Kol’s life had become quite dull. He spent most of his time, either studying the codex of life or lazing around with Astrid.

In the beginning, Kol had tried to study the immortality spell in order to alter it according to his requirements, but he discovered that although he could alter the spell, no amount of meddling could alter it to create what he needed.

Only a new spell could satisfy his requirements. A new spell with just as much the complexity as the old one.

Kol could indeed create a new spell if he spent a few centuries studying and collecting magic from this world, but that was not worth it. He would much rather spend that time studying the codex of life.

It was like mathematics. Mathematics is used in both chemistry and physics. If the chemistry is the magic from this world and physics is the magic from the marvel and DC world, then Kol studied the mathematics of chemistry in order to alter the mathematics of physics, so that the formulas of physics would be used in chemistry.

After three decades of boredom, Kol decided to explore The Other Side, in order to look for the witch, Qetsiyah, who had created the original immortality spell in the first century B.C.

The Other Side was a supernatural dimension where the spirits of dead supernatural beings resided in a state of purgatory or limbo. It was created by Qetsiyah.
