Extra chapter!

"Wait, so the entire world essentially turned against you because you tried to get justice on a bunch of terrorists...?" Tony disbelievingly asked as he watched several videos from across the world show governments attacking my landing pads.
"Yep~!" I cheerily chirped as I saw thousands of applications for Rimecrest flow into Artemis's server. All of the staff of the company were given the option of becoming citizens of my new nation and so far a good 48% of them had accepted with the rest taking their time or outright refusing. This meant I currently had 274,113 people that would be immigrating to Rimecrest within the next week.
"These bastards are mad... And I say that as a mad scientist..." He commented as he watched the Chinese military back away from the landing pads, the MOAB they had launched simply bouncing off of the deflector shields of the building and the spider tanks.
"Nah, they're stupid, which is worse." I sarcastically replied.
Tony snorted as the doors to the room opened. Pepper swept into the room before rushing over to her partner, all with the ferocity and speed of a hurricane. She started berating him and his choices as Hermes watched on, rolling his eyes at the couple.
`Father, Israel has been disabled... Shall I now conquer Italy?` Athena asked demurely, as I watched Turbo lasers erase all of the border walls of Israel and every single Military facility they owned. Ice Wings soared above the small country, their proton torpedos scorching entire segments of their capital building.
`Take control of Italy, leave the Vatican alone... Maybe if we take a country they will stop being stupid in future.` I said to her as I watched the Italians attempt to bomb my local landing pad into the stone age, which was working about as well as a wet fart.
`Got it!` She exclaimed happily before she went back to her campaign.
Hopefully all of this craziness would be over with soon.

Shield was in shambles as outright warfare was spilling into the streets surrounding several of the landing pads globally. Fast response teams had been dispatched to help remove civilians from the conflicts but many had been caught up in the hostilities. Governments were turning on anyone who had helped Drecarios in the past, including Shield.
Italy was perhaps one of the worst, as the semi-communist government was actively ignoring civilian casualties in the hope that they could inflict some small fragment of damage upon Drecarios' forces.
"Get me a goddamn meeting with Drecarios!" Fury shouted at the control room at large, many of the Shield Agents wincing and rushing off to do as he instructed. The day had been going horribly.
Not only had the World Council done something utterly idiotic, they had done it with the excitement of a virgin getting laid for the first time... They were all retards. Then, following their stupidity, several Governments actually bought into the shit they were selling and followed through. Add onto that the ridiculous statements from Wakanda and the embargo, it was no wonder Drecarios was making an example out of them all.
"Sir! Information on the technological capability of Wakanda has just been dispersed over the entirety of the Internet and more concerningly, to their neighbouring African countries... We are seeing a mobilisation in Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia and The Congo..." One of the operatives closest to him listed as a holographic list of information whizzed past him as he stood behind his holographic console.
"Motherfucker!" Fury cursed as he started diverting squads to observe the matter.
"Sir! SIR! The American government has called for a ceasefire on all Frost Dynamics landing pads!" A man rushed into the room to explain all the while Fury was having a mild panic attack. It was the first good news in a while but seeing the actions of the world council really put in perspective how stupidity ruled politicians and anything good could sour and probably would.
"Good, inform the president that Italy is going to erase itself if they continue with what they're doing...!" He shouted the order just as a female agent gasped in shock. Abruptly he turned to face her and watched as a massive space ship, the same one that had blown most of Israel out of the water, descended into the skies above Rome. "Motherfucker..." He whispered as the room quieted down.
The video continued playing as tourists and citizens of Italy alike all turned their phones skyward, watching the monolithic ship press through the clouds menacingly. Fighters that were in the sky immediately flew in the opposite direction, their missions abandoned as the pilots decided to save themselves.
Fury watched multiple videos flicker onto the main screen of the command room, multiple angles showing the sheer scale of the ship. "What have they done?" The same female agent who had gasped asked in horror, watching the elongated engines on the sides of the craft thrum with energy as all of the massive batteries on the side slowly lined up their barrels towards the city below.
A screeching alarm, much like a cyclone warning system, blitzed through the skies above Rome before stopping suddenly. Fury quirked an eyebrow upwards, wondering what was going to happen.
"Citizens of Italy, your government has betrayed you in favour of Oligarchs and corrupted politicians within the EU and the World Council. They have declared war against one of the Heroes of Earth and have ignored the warnings that Singularity has given on multiple occasions in these few short days." The commanding feminine voice drawled calmly, her tone showing a hint of coldness and disregard for human life that made the director of Shield clench his teeth together.
"Today, multiple Governments across the globe have challenged Singularity and his Family. Israel has attempted to take one of our Headquarters. So has France, China and India... All of them have used violence to attempt their misguided attempts at quelling Singularity's words and power." She paused for a moment. "India has lost 100,000 Military personnel within the last four hours. Israel has been reduced to the stone age and will never recover, unless outside forces were to assist them. France has retreated, losing little over half of all of their military equipment and having surrendered half of the forces they sent."
Murmurs began spreading throughout the Triskelion command centre as various agents processed the sheer magnitude of what was being reported.
"Russia never attacked, and we thank Vladimir Putin for being one of the only intelligent and cautious leaders upon the World Council. Now, however, I must inform Italy that from this moment forwards your government will be made an example out of. Singularity told the world that he would not suffer terrorism in his stream the other day... Italy has been killing its own citizens and this registers as an act of terrorism... We will now liberate Italy."
The speech ended anti-climactically but was soon followed by the violent jettison of hundreds of fighters from the sides of the ship, their wings unfolding before instantly breaking the sound-barrier and roaring overhead.
Fury watched as F-35 Lightning II's were cut down mid-flight, the Ice Wings soaring past them as if they hadn't just wiped out a 20 million dollar machine. Italian soldiers fired into lines of black robots but failed to do any damage before they were minced by plasma and railguns. The few soldiers that remained in front of the landing pad dropped their weapons and to their knees in front of the robots. A single CCTV camera outside the Italian Military HQ showed a transport-ship hover above the square, dispensing one hundred robots that soon arranged themselves into squads. Those same robots dispersed and methodically punctured into the building, the sound of gunshots and high-energy weaponry blaring through the broadcast before the camera shut off.
"Declare Italy a lost cause..." He was about to say more but a call from Coulson disrupted him.
He accepted the call and brought his ear up to his phone.

"Italy has been liberated dad." Athena irreverently said as she flashed into existence before me.
"Great, now maybe I can just build cool stuff." I commented tiredly as Tony and Pepper devoured each other's mouths. Rolling my eyes I looked back to Athena and shrugged.
"The Stargate project?" She questioned coyly, her eyes gleaming in intrigue.
"Yep, I've been designing a modular Space-Gate using sectioned spaceships as the building blocks. I'm thinking that we could add parking modules to Rimecrest and any other space station we make, then they assemble on any incoming signal." I tapped my watch and showed a holographic display of my idea, which Athena hungrily consumed with her 'eyes'.
"Wait! YOU MADE A SPACE STATION WITHOUT ME!?!?!" Tony boomed out in offense as he pointed towards me.
"Fuck... yes I did Tony, you were a bit bust being unconscious you know?" I tried to redirect the conversation.
"NOPE! Bullshit! You can't make that size of station in a day or two!!!" He yelled towards me as Pepper watched him in exasperation.
"Well, I did." I stated plainly whilst Athena chuckled into her hand at the antics between me and Tony.
The billionaire, playboy, philanthropist whined like a wounded puppy as Pepper grabbed his right ear and twisted, her gaze glimmering in annoyance. "Enough you! You just woke up and that is thanks to Drecarios! You can play on the space station later..." She ranted at the man-child.
He pouted as she continued to lay into him for the next five minutes. All the while I smirked.

Loki watched proudly as his people's Seidr and Doom managed to finish the main segment of the palace district's construction. The palace hall was shaped like the blade of a sword and stabbed upwards into the sky like a spear. It's width was comparable to the central portion of the old Palace upon Asgard, but had one massive advantage in that it was decorated with exterior gardens and had greenery draping over it languidly. In his opinion it added a part of Vanaheim to the palace... Something that gnawed at his heart as he remembered those he had lost, including his Fiancé.
New Asgard was taking time to construct, but when it was done it would be as grand as Asgard and if he had any say in it, superior to his people's former home.
"My King one of our temporary communication relays has discovered an emergency signal from a vessel of some kind." A guard ran to inform him as he stood on the edge of a cliff, watching the distant work upon the mountaintop.
"Relay this to Hela and have her handle it for the time being, I am needed in the construction efforts soon." He intoned softly as the guard grimaced and took off once again, this time towards the military camp that Hela ran at the base of the mountain.
'I hate being King.' He told himself for the hundredth time that day alone.

Charles Xavier grimaced as he watched Italy fall from the perspective of its own citizens. The world was changing far too much as of late and he couldn't keep up... He sighed. Age was catching up with him and with rumours of the Sentinel project beginning once again he couldn't help but feel the weariness in his bones.
"Professor, are you okay?" Jean Grey asked him softly, her face scrunched in concern.
"No, I'm afraid not my dear... The world is becoming too chaotic and I do not know the path we should tread." He grimaced once again as he felt the fear of a politician in Italy before his life was snuffed out.
"Maybe we should found a nation and escape from the Humans?" She suggested.
"I-" he paused for a moment, remembering the suggestion Eric had made in the past and how it caused some issues before it was tabled... perhaps it was a good idea... "It may not be a bad idea. I will talk with Eric, perhaps we could create our country on Genosha..." He mused as he suddenly turned to go find his brother in all but blood.
What Charles didn't notice was the cheshire grin of Jean Grey as he rolled away on his wheel chair.

Emma Frost examined the remnants of the Hellfire Club with derision. Ever since Drecarios had killed Shaw the entire club had turned into a joke. Selene, the black queen, has never stepped foot in the club since that night and every other member was of no consequence and could barely be considered important.
She was the only thing holding the American branch of the club together. She was still debating if she should just eradicate the horrid organisation and move onwards alongside her brother. Hell, if she could focus on helping in Rimecrest than all of her proclivities towards power, control, money and progress would be sated and she could do it all for the benefit of her own family.
A sigh escaped her lips as a black man with a white stripe of hair on his head walked into the dance hall below. She watched as he pulled out a katana and decapitated a young woman, her body turning to ash instantly...
"Of course there are vampires in this fucking organisation..." She groaned out, abandoning her wine upon the table as she rose to her feet.
Her interest in the club was finished. She was over the bullshit and drama. Someone else could take over, she would be sipping martinis in a Space Station with her brother and possibly her sister, if she would stop being an annoying brat every three minutes.
She walked out of the former synagogue as the black man carved a bloody path through all of the vampires present.
