Earth,
Because Helvar had forced the world war to end by killing the relevant figures, the global war had come to an abrupt end. A lot of things that should have happened didn't happen. A lot of soldiers who should have died on the Allied side didn't.
Still, the overall fatality rate was high. Over a hundred million dead. Yet, the powers like the United States and the Soviet Union didn't lose enough. Especially the Soviet Union, which still retained much of its troop size.
There was fear, however. Fear of what Helvar would do if any of them waged more wars. But that wasn't enough to stop them from waging a cold war. Stalemates occurred across the world, nations divided in half. Korea, Japan, and much of Asia was a playground of nations, silently trying to gain influence.
But the real ground occupation was carried by Dinosia itself. And no military was used, just a bunch of intelligent economists, reformists, and engineers. In First Man's tongue, nerds. Fear of Helvar was enough to keep all violence away.
Meanwhile, the nations came together to form something called the United Nations. Its first gathering was held in Dinosia itself, allowing only the main delegates of each member nation to enter the forbidden god nation.
It was a wake-up call for the leaders of nations and kingdoms. The level of technological advancement visible to the naked eye on the simple streets of Dinosia far exceeded anything outside. Electricity, cars, trams, and even visible rockets were being launched into space. Grand buildings, cleanliness, greenery, parks, and the people. Not a single beggar.
Initially, Dinosia had refused to join the United Nations because Dinosia didn't consider itself a nation. It was just a personal property of the First Man, run by a circulating team of nerds who were forced to do it if they wanted to keep nerding.
But still, the nations pleaded, because having Dinosia would give the United Nations legitimacy and importance. And hence, other than the Security Council of five, a Supreme Veto power was created, given only to Dinosia. Through it, even resolutions passed by the five Permanent members of the UNSC could be vetoed.
Sure, it was a double-edged sword. But neither the United States nor its current rival, the Soviet Union, could do anything about it. Both sides wanted to please Dinosia.
On the first day of the General Assembly on Dinosia, Helvar, as the eldest son of the First Man, came to speak. Nobody asked for the First Man, as all leaders were made aware of who the First Man was fighting out there.
"My Father…" Helvar stood in front of the sixty delegates, all of whom were the highest authorities of their nations. Presidents, General Secretaries, and Prime Ministers. Normally, they didn't come out of their countries in such numbers, but it was a chance to see Dinosia, and they did.
"My Father is not here right now, but his fist is still on your throat. He watched this world crawl, saw dinosaurs rule and die screaming. He stood there when humans first staggered upright, taught the dumb bastards fire. He aided the rise of kingdoms and banished those evil. For tens of thousands of years, he watched and aided, yet war… massacre… murder… seems to be human nature. No matter what, after a few years of peace, you regress to your lesser selves."
Nobody in the world would dare to speak to them like that. But Helvar had that right. He was older than all the nations that sat there.
"After all my warnings, I still see packs in this hall. I see hate leaking from your eyes. The brain-dead urge to claw over dirt and scraps is back again. Just a matter of time before you start spilling blood. You did it as apes, and you do it now. You did it with rocks and clubs, and now with guns and grenades. How thick are your skulls that you can't grasp how empty your politics are next to a living person?
"Look at your faces. Idiots! Blind as corpses. If my Father hadn't flown high to stop that thing, none of you would exist. This world would be ash. And knowing that kind of horror waits out there, you still snarl over lines on dirt. Subhuman trash, every one of you. Even with my Father's hand dragging you forward, you still ran straight off the cliff."
The heads hung low in the hall, none daring to look at Helvar.
"There are galaxy-wide empires out there. Vicious ones. Built on conquest and blood. But I know, even after knowing that, you don't give a damn. To you, this patch of dirt is more important. How it's divided is more important. Instead of coming together to uplift your entire species, you divide it into color, regions, and religions. Fuck, you all were once apes. Is that hard to understand? Anyway, I'm rambling. Congrats on birthing another useless organization. I'll wait and watch how long it takes for you all to make a mess out of it."
With that, Helvar got off stage and walked away, towards the only figure in the hall clapping for him. He smiled, a loving one at that. He grabbed her hand and left the building, back to the temple, his home.
"I couldn't have said it better myself, Helvar."
Helvar chuckled, pulling her closer to his side. "Well, Father used to say it better back in the day. I'm done with these bastards. Let's go home. I need a damn drink."
The two soon flew and landed on top of the Temple of the First Man. As usual, it was lively, being treated as a recreational facility by a lot of powerful beings. From Hela, Angela, Selene, to his siblings, including Logan, his wife, and Raven, and some Inhumans and Angels as well.
But still, Helvar held a look of sadness.
The two figures who mattered the most, who made Dinosia home, weren't there. Marty and his dad, he never realised how much he took them for granted until they were gone.
"Hey, come on now. How many times will you act like that? Didn't Odin say your Father is well?"
"I know, but I want to see him. And Marty, as well. Even Mother misses them, but she'd sooner bite her tongue."
The two started walking towards the open-air bar manned by Logan, as usual.
Shhhhh!
But right then, the air changed. A strange, red, fiery portal appeared. It wasn't like the ones made by sorcerers. No, this one was actually made of fire. And then, a masculine, tall figure appeared from it. Tall, red skin, red clothes, and black hair.
"Mephista! Step away from him!"
Helvar frowned and looked at the woman beside him, whose hand was still in his. Then he eyed the man who came from the portal. "That's your father?"
"He is."
"You must have taken after your mother because…" Helvar didn't finish the words. "So that's the mighty Mephisto."
"Mephista! I sent you to plot against the First Man, not fall for his son! How dare you betray me?"
"Father, I really love him. And I won't go back with you. There is nothing in Hell for me." Mephista declared, "I will stay here!"
"You don't get to make that choice!"
Helvar stepped in front of his girl. "But she does."
"Stand back, boy. I won't hesitate to erase you."
But right then, Hela appeared in her battle armor. Angela was right beside her, in her armor as well. One by one, everyone there took a fighting stance.
"Turn back, Mephisto. This land belongs to the First Man. Raise your hand here, and you invite war in your own domain," Hela warned. "You should know better. Where and who the First Man has become now."
Hesitation appeared on Mephisto's face. But then the demon eyed Mephista.
"You betrayed me. My own daughter."
"I like him, Father."
"The son of my greatest nemesis? You are dead to me! I strip you of your powers and cast you out of my domain. Soon, you will regret this!"
Just like that, Mephisto made his portal again and vanished.
Helvar looked at the woman he had fallen for. This time for real. "You good?"
"He'll eventually… understand me. He's not very good with change."
Helvar hummed, just imagining how his father would react when he'd return.
"Let's hope our fathers don't kill each other first," he muttered.
