After freeing Morgan, Rudeus and the others returned back to their own home dimension, Earth after they got a free tour of Castle Le Fay from Morgan that is. He was worried they they would be attacked by knights and mages of Avalon when they found out that Morgan was free now and they were the ones who freed her. But that never happened.

Morgan just said that she was hiding herself and her castle from the senses of the mediocre sorcerers present in Avalon currently. There was no high level sorcerer supreme like Merlyn present in Avalon any longer who would be able to sense that she had broken out of her prison.

For some reason, even the White Witch, the only sorcerer whom Morgan considered a genuine threat to her and her future reign didn't show up.

Rudeus was quite happy at that. He had a rough idea about the identity of this White Witch from the comics. Her name was supposed to be Saturnyne or something. Although she was not in a lot of comics issues, it still didn't change the fact that she was one of the most powerful sorcerers ever, even stronger than Ancient One herself. She was also the one in charge of Starlight Citadel, the Omniversal headquarters of Marvel similar to DC's Rock of Eternity.

Rudeus was sure that even the him right now would be defeated by her, faster than he could say 'Magical girl Emma Frost'

That's one of the reasons he decided to leave for Earth and get out of Otherworld for some time till things cool down and he is absolutely sure than she would not try to correct the 'anomaly' that he was.

But Morgan wanted to stay here and make her preparations to get back some of the strength she had lost over the centuries being prisoned as well make plans to get back her kingdom and decide how to best start training Rudeus in the mystic arts.

So Rudeus decided to come back a month later as he left the Otherworld for now. Coming for him would be much easier since his mother box had already recorded the Otherworld's dimensional coordinates as well as the entire map of Avalon in her memory. So he could just open a boom tube to this place any time he wants.

He even gave Morgan his mansion's address on Earth so that she could call him or visit him whenever she was done with her 'preparations' and ready to start teaching him.

As Rudues returned to his main base, he told Zoya to take Lilith to Selene and integrate her to their organization. He even hoped that the two would get along since both of them were vampires in a way, Lilith being a real vampire feeding on blood while Selene was a psychic vampire feeding on psionic energy.

Anyways, he was really happy that his little trip was actually fruitful and didn't end up in a failure.

Rudeus decided to do something productive after coming back from Otherworld and so he portaled to his new 'collection' base where everything that he had collected by 'borrowing' things from people were kept.

Right now, the entire building was being decorated with the treasures that he had 'borrowed' from Dracula. He had gotten so many artifacts and gold here that he even thought that Dracula was one of the richest people alive. The dude had collected too much art in his royal life. Rudeus could understand why the dude called himself a Count.

But these were not Rudeus' main trophies. His main treasure was in the underground laboratory beneath this place. As he went to visit that very laboratory he saw scientists running various experiments on dead bodies, making complex machines and trying to advance their individual researches.

There were disassembled bodies of sentinels, tech that appeared alien and even weird weapons being developed. In a different sealed room there was even a surgery going on Apocalypse's shrivelled up dead body as the researchers were trying to understand how the metahuman external body even worked.

As Rudeus was silently watching over all the researchers doing their work, one of the researchers who seemed like their head approached him.

"Good day, master. I am really happy that you were able to find sympathy in your divine heart to forgive me and give me a chance to serve you and truly work for the betterment for all metahumans. I have heard some of your plans master and I have to say that they are not only brilliant but realistic as well, atleast more than Xavier's and Erik's plans. What we are doing here will be able to change the entire world for the better." Forge said with passion laced in his voice.

"Its okay Daniel. After all its a job of a god to forgive his believers and set them up on the right path." Rudeus smiled at him.

"Thank you master, but please call me Forge. I have left that name to my previous life back when I was only a human shaman." Forge requested him in a humble tone.

"Uh sure. So tell me Forge, how is the sentinel production going?" Rudeus asked.

"Quite good my lord. We have now mastered the art of making the ordinary grade sentinels. We have even managed to create a unique 'Master Mold' level sentinel using Miss Zoya's help. But we are still researching how to convert normal machines and organics into sentinels as well using Master Mold's advanced science. It was originally supposed to be able to do that itself but unfortunately or should I say fortunately that function of it couldn't be perfected by Trask and thus didn't work." He answered.

"What about the evolving ones. Were you able to use the genetic material I sent you?"  Rudeus questioned as he thought about Vanessa's blood sample that he had gotten from her and sent to Forge to try to make an evolving loyal sentinel like Nimrod using Copycat's superior copying ability.

"Yes we did get it and even tried using it but even with Miss Zoya's help we need more time to develop a stable working model that would work perfectly and not evolve uncontrollably and go rogue. Although even in that case, no matter what happens these evolving sentinels will always have a limit. We estimate that a sentinel can only evolve to have an alpha level power but never an omega level."

"What about the serums?" Rudeus asked again.

"That's a little more complex. My expertise and quirk is mostly in engineering, so I am not that good in genetical engineering and the rest of the scientists here are also not the best, atleast not even near the likes of Stark or Pym or Richards' level intellect. So improvement in that direction hasn't been that smooth truly. We will need a lot more time for that.

Although I have to admit Apocalypse's unique carcass, the U-men data and even Magneto's... remains did quite help a lot in advancing the research, although the vampire ash was really useless. It seems vampires are completely supernatural and aren't really compatible with science, well atleast not the ones you found master.

I was having some moral issues at first but the experiments that I have worked on with Magneto had severely damaged my morality. Also, the thought that these research and experiments on dead bodies could one day help the entire metahuman race and bring prosperity to the world was also quite encouraging." Forge admitted.

"I see. Don't worry, I'll find some good talent. I have a few people I am eyeing for that." Rudeus smiled mysteriously. "But until then, make do with what you can. We cannot afford to waste precious time. We are gonna need many of these inventions soon especially the weapons, sentinels and the serums that I told you to develop." Rudeus said in a serious tone.

He had tried to revive Trask after Psylocke told him where he was currently buried but he couldn't do it. He could feel his power trying to work but falling short of 'juice'. So he concluded that he either didn't have enough divine energy to revive a person dead for a long time which he very much doubted since he had too much energy or he simply was proficient enough in using the perk. He believed it to be the later.

"As you say, Master." Forge replied having gotten the habit of calling him Master from his other followers.

In fact right now, most members of his organization were calling him by the moniker, master while the normal metahumans all around the world called him Atem. Only his close 'friends' and the people who knew him well called him Rudeus.

However he was brought out of his thoughts as a boom tube began to take shape in front of him.

"Master, there is something wrong with the X-men." Selene said in a panicked voice as she came out of the newly formed boom tube. "Ororo called us. Its Jean..., she is dead."
