Chapter 120: It Was Unintentional So It's Okay II
.................
"Huh?" Xanadu on the side, eyed Zatanna strangely because as far as she remembers, she told her to bring him here for something urgent, yet now she's sending him away after taking a glance at him, 'Could it be...'
Ian very much welcomed going away because the greater good was awaiting his arrival, so he vanished appearing in Gotham besides his ring just a second later.
He brought out a tablet from his dimension, connected it to the internet, and started looking through the news, "Hahhaaahaha, well done girls, beautifully done!"
Many many things happened in the past month, but Ian focused only on the things he was interested in. His plans for answers require a lot of answers which are much easier to get.
The Roses were like a virus, spreading and moving about like ants, but very few people pay attention to them.
In fact, those who were once beggars on the side of the street are now rising through the ranks of society, meaning more access to information.
"Layla." He murmured as he took a comfy seat on the couch. His voice traveled through the shadows, reaching her ears, and through shadows, she literally came to him.
"I can take away your powers at any moment, you know that right? I can perhaps grant you something more stable." He murmured as he eyed the seemingly happy Layla.
"I can bear it. I have no need for what it took away from me." Layla shook her head, firmly rejecting the offer, "It's perfect for me, so please allow me to continue to serve you with it."
Ian let out a breath, contemplating for a bit, "Alright, I should be able to solve the problem at some point in time, so just tell me if you can't bear it anymore."
such are the dangers of red Kryptonites. Despite his overwhelming control over it, there are still some side effects to some of the powers it grants, especially the powerful ones.
"Also, I want you to clean up after the girls, and help them if needed... Let them know I'm back." His orders were spoken after he created a portal right before her, "This should get you close... Be careful."
Whatever was happening with the task force thing, he wasn't interested in, but they Harley. Thankfully, he didn't have to interfere because the girls seem to be planning something.
He on the other hand has more important things to do. His unit has proved to be successful as they were able to contest even with the justice league, albeit with using a bit of trickery and distractions.
He continued to read through a lot of information, some public news while the others were collected by the Roses.
"Finally, I can take charity more efficiently." A lot of heroes were appearing one after another in the world, and so were villains.
It all means he has a lot to take care of, starting with going to the Lazarus pit, the one far beneath Gotham, hidden well in a cave.
It was finally found, and Ian was preparing to take a look at it. Ian only blinked once to find himself in a well-lit cave, the source of its light seemed to be the pit at its center.
There was a green boiling liquid within it, releasing a green fluorescent, allowing clear vision. He walked beside it and crouched, his hand reaching out for the liquid, submerging itself within.
"Dionesium huh, a wonderous liquid... Useless to me, unless." His staff appeared beside him, magic already doing wonders, preying for all of its secrets.
That was followed by all of the staff vessels' forces acting one by one, seeing if any of them would have an effect on the pit.
"Light and Darkness..." Ian murmured, stroking his chin in thoughtfulness, "Light weakness it while darkness amplifies it. Unexpected yet expected at the same time."
A pit with healing powers and even revival of the dead, one would expect it to have something to do with an angel's holy powers, but it's the opposite.
"The doing of demons perhaps? I guess I will have to study the book of eternity first, see if anything in it helps."
The book was basically a Wikipedia of knowledge and magical speed, so he really wanted to start studying it right now, but there are more important things to take care of.
A few magical teleportations later, Ian found himself in Coast city, vying for his next target, something he had to wait to take for a while, not because he couldn't borrow it before, but because he wanted more.
The staff behind shone in blue light as several invisibility and stealth spells were cast on him, and only then did he fly to his destination while looking through the news on his tablet, news about the Green lantern.
"Working hard huh? Well, don't mind me then." Once he was close to his target, he unleashed his Death force, lunging itself toward the odd green device hidden in an apartment.
It enveloped it slowly but surely until vanished, appearing within the black Rose dimension, 'Did he really think just invisibility would keep the power battery from being taken?'
Ian was a bit confused because he expected more. That's why he took so many precautions, yet it was all too easy.
'Well, whatever. I can not use it for now, but it's only a matter of time,' The moment the Power battery of the green lanterns appeared in the dimension, massive amounts of death force started flooding into it, corrupting to Ian's liking.
"Hope they come though. It might make things much easier, after all, what's better than absorbing the source itself?"
It was all unintentional. Ian would later swear because he really didn't mean for things to become so chaotic and fun at the same time.
If Ian long ago was a menace without any powers then now that he has them. what'll he achieve? Or what does he want to achieve?
He of course wants to complete his collection. The route for the completion of the staff of all things was already planned, and finally, he make some progress, a lot of progress.
Before the people of earth become too aware of magic and what it can do. The extent of its broken nature. The methods to stop it. Before it's all discovered, Ian went on a stroll around the world, appreciating nature.
The day of chaos was on its way, and it all started with some unintentional events starting with Ian landing before a mountain.
"Aghh, like how can gods be stingier than demons? I guess I had to come personally to get my treat."
The mountain looked normal to the unseeing eyes, but Ian can see it very clearly, and he can feel the complexity of space throughout it.
Somewhere within the mountain, there was a gate leading to a place, and somewhere within that place, someone spoke, "I told you he'd come."
"You did, but what happens when a bug enters weaklings' home? Likely nothing, they wouldn't even notice it... But I, I'm a God, so I know when a bug comes and when it leaves. I can just squash it, can I not?"
Responding to Hephaestus was a gorgeous noblewoman, speaking of bug with a tiny bit of hatred.
The God of the forge could only shake his head in bitterness. She was simply too unreasonable because none of this needed to happen, and he could do nothing about it because he was chained to the divine walls of her castle, "I hope you can..."
"No, there is still time, so let me play with the bug a bit, and see it flap its tiny wings like you said it can." Her tone was strange with expectations and frustration.
'They weren't tiny... They were actually too big. I can only hope they aren't too big for her to handle lest Zeus has to interfere...' Hephaestus kept his thoughts to himself but Ian didn't.
"Olympus! Here I come to collect charity!! Do you think you can just pledge it and not pay up!?" Ahem...

Not sure but I think it depends on who are we talking about. Some of the gods are strong while others are weak and the same goes for demons. There are also many types of demons and gods, old gods, new gods, and so onn. There are also many demons, some aren't from hell.
Are demons stronger than gods in the dc universe
Jeremiah Eleko
That last sentence made me chuckle a little, and that's high praise from where I'm standing.
