Chapter 152: Accidentally Started A Universal War I
.................
The spaceship was something Hephaestus had to bleed to make. The time in Nanda Parbat is different than the world, specifically a 1 to 12 ratio.
Every month is a year in there, and Hephaestus made the ship in there. A year passed in the world meaning twelve years passed in time diluted place, and that's how long it took him.
Mind you, this is an Olympian god, and of the forge at that, so the ship must be special.
And if it wasn't special enough, Ian made sure to feed it his Death force every time he came by. He of course visited the place many times before, mostly because of the time differences.
He also had to cast numerous magical spells to hide the spaceship from all prying eyes, and now, it has become what it's today, a wonder.
That wonder has just started to rise, to bloom. Its petals were eyeing the sky, and very soon, it reached the sky, space even, much to everyone's surprise.
Not because it reached space. That was its purpose in the first place. It was because the Grey Rose started flying by itself, silently.
The moment they all entered. It closed by itself and launched into space. There was however someone who clearly noticed something, Ivy.
"You're controlling it with your force?" Ivy wondered, looking fascinated by the process of its launch. It was silent as if it didn't need any energy to break out of the globe's gravity.
"Oh? You can sense it?" Ian asked, seeming surprised. He was indeed controlling the entire thing with his Death force. It was a bit difficult because the ship was massive.
It was all because it satiated its anger upon his Death force before it was even a ship. Its parts were already under his control before it was even assembled.
So when it was complete, Ian had basically gained absolute control over the entire spaceship, feeling it almost like just another limb of his.
"Barely," Ivy nodded. She noticed it too. At first, she was able to easily sense his 'Life Force' but as of late, or more than a year ago, it's been getting harder and harder to sense it.
And she knows why because she felt it clearly. She felt his Life Force turn from that into something else, something entirely different.
It was a very slow process that she felt happening all the time, especially amidst their intimate sessions, and now his Force seemed foreign, something completely incomprehensible to her.
However, it was still just as delicious and desirable. In fact, it's only becoming more potent, this making her stronger. She fucking loves it.
She got strong to such a point that her aspiration became quite grand just like how her eyes brightened just now, "I just got a brilliant Idea! I also want a ship, but here is the catch, the ship is a plant, literally!"
"Well, that sounds ridiculous..." Zatanna couldn't help but shake her head, feeling speechless.
"I know, right? It's wonderfully ridiculous!" Ivy agreed, seeming quite happy in fact. She just needed some help, so she eyed Ian with hope.
And just when Zatanna thought things couldn't possibly get more ridiculous, Ian spoke, "That's actually brilliant, but let's be a tad bit more ambitious. What about a planet, but it's a plant!?"
"That... What if it can eat plants?" Ivy's eyes brightened even more.
"What if the planet can turn into a bat which I can break things with?! And and! I will be able to do that because darling will give me what he promised, right?" Harley interjected, especially stressing the last part.
"When have I ever lied?" Ian lied with style before leading the group through the spaceship, giving them a tour.
Despite it being completely metallic, made of priceless materials to even gods and Kryptonians, the ship still had an olympian style to it. It had an exquisite air of glory and elegance, a touch left by Hephaestus.
"Hon," Selina found herself too close to Ian, being a bit of a pervert as she worked up her talent of seduction, whispering in his ear, "I have this sudden desire to steal this spaceship."
An amused smile emerged on Ian's face "Oh yeah?"
"Yeah, but I'm so weak that I know for a fact I can't steal it from you, so have any tips."
Ian didn't know exactly if his eyes were deceiving him or not, but she seemed serious. She wanted the ship all for herself, so Ian decided to give her a few tips.
"It all comes down to charity sweety. Now, you aren't like me, so you can't expect everyone to just give you charity for no reason, but you can make me ask people for charity so I can get another ship."
A headache. Each and everyone who heard his words felt a headache at how much nonsense per second he was spurting. Honestly, it should be considered a divine gift by this point.
Selina on the other hand noted something else. She can get him to get her another ship, and she knew exactly how.
The Grey Rose was extremely fast. It was so fast in fact it can warp space to reach destinations so far away it's unimaginable, and it's all through the charitable donation of Kryptonians.
You see, Superman's Kryptonian ship was the base for the Grey Rose. It was donated to Ian without consent and Hephaestus transformed it into what it is, using its technology in the process.
He basically studied the entire ship inside out, and befitting of the god of the forge, he understood every piece of technology in the ship, an example of which would be Warp Drive, the thing responsible for the ship's movement method.
Ian's goal this time is a bit of chaos. He wanted to spread some chaos to create a distraction, but most important of all, his goal was to reach the Phantom Zone.
It's a place discovered by the Kryptonians and used as a prison for their criminals. In fact, the Zone is where General Zod was banished, like other Kryptonian offenders.
The coordinates for the place were actually decyphered by Batman and handed to him as a result of their deal to kill Doomsday. Ian absolutely had no idea how he acquired them, but it was something he wanted.
The purpose was very simple, finding a specific Kryptonite, the most valuable of them all. Platinium Kryptonite, a material capable of granting anyone the powers of Kryptonians, basically becoming gods with something as easy as a touch.
He wants to complete the collection of Kryptonite energies. Before, he only had Green and red Kryptonite energies.
However, as of late, he donated a few stones of Kryptonites to Lex Luthor, but he surprisingly needed those stones back soon after.
Luckily, he had already taken absolute control of them through his Death force, so he could sense them wherever they are.
That led him to Lex's secret labs, so secret, in fact, one would assume it to be holding unimaginable treasures.
Unfortunately, it only held a few worthless stones, including his own. So he naturally took a sample while he was there.
That grew his collection. The first vessel had a few energies introduced to it, including Gold Kryptonite, an extremely rare mineral capable of destroying a Kryptonian's ability to process yellow sunlight, thus permanently removing their superpowers.
The last one would be Black Kryptonite, one of the strangest Kryptonites. It's a puzzle to even Lex himself.
He studied to synthesize different Kryptonites based on it, and he was able to develop a few, including pink Kryptonite, capable of basically turning anyone gay, literally.
There were a few other different versions, but Ian was surprised that when he devoured them, they all went back to their source, black Kryptonite energy.
Thus why only two Kryptonite energies were added to the first vessel. Still, the black Kryptonite was too interesting for him to be dissatisfied because it came to miss with personalities in odd ways.
Ian was enjoying himself in his ship, studying the S.T.A.R labs' particle accelerator and Turtle's machine to create something that can find the forces that escaped the speed force.
While all of that was happening, Batman handed Green Lantern the power battery while giving him a few warnings that it stayed with Ian for long, so he must've messed with it, and he must be planning something.
As a result, Hal Jordan was cautious, deciding to take the power battery back to the source, the base of all green lanterns, planet Oa unaware that he had taken the bait.
