Psionic Billionaire c3

Out of all the buildings he finished so far, the Barclays skyscraper is the tallest and the biggest of them all. The supermarket only makes 1/50 of the whole thing!

So after he was done with it, it shook, It felt like the whole Earth shook and then the whole thing glowed bright white!

A massive pillar of light blasted out from the Skyscraper igniting the whole sky in bright purple, thunder rumbled in the sky before the same purple pillar smashed into Alex who was looking at this with wide eyes. 

He never saw such a large reaction so far!

Once the blinding light settled down he could feel a considerable increase in his power! The purple aura surrounding at this point was very much visible, the purple fire could be easily seen.

His power increased by another ⅓ which is quite absurd considering how much he already had before.

Once the Psionic power settled, another burst of light left the Skyscraper and slammed into Alex who was expecting another page in his grimoire, instead he got a direct power.

"Oh, I see… so it is like a bank… I can store my Psionic power."

It is quite nice, if he needs more power he can just tap into that extra power stored away. 

Though he needs to store it first.

"Well, I suppose it's enough for today."

After looking around for more, he could see another five skyscrapers being built and a high-class shopping mall followed by a train station.

Maybe this time he will be able to get some sort of trading power.

Though what could he trade? These conceptual powers can be so weird!

After thinking for a bit he started to fly back to his house.

~~~~~~Next Day, Early Morning~~~~~~

The first place Agent Hill went to see was the newly finished skyscraper in the middle of a construction site.

This was crazy and weird! The construction workers are freaking out, so is she, such mass and scale build on its own!

"Do you have any sort of video footage of this? How did it finish building itself?" The woman asked curiously as she looked around, trying to look for any sort of clues.

"Not much Agent Hill, the cameras are at the entrances of the construction site, and the night staff has confirmed that no one has passed the gates or any other areas where the cameras are. The footage has been checked by the Metropolitan Police over the night and early this morning." The Project manager said to the woman who was frowning while looking at the massive glass building in front of her.

"I see, regardless, I will check it myself, on second thought did you spot anything weird? How did It happen?" She asked the project manager as she realised that the cameras are a dead end.

"It happened at night time, by that point the majority of the staff had already left the construction site. According to the security who witnessed it, the building was simply built on its own. The construction material appears with blinding purple light." 

Her eyes had a realising look the moment she heard the last part, she found a clue!

'Purple light… I wonder what it is? Regardless, I have a clue now, it's done by purple light of some sort.'

The woman wrote down purple light and drew a circle around it.

"Can I speak with the security staff who saw it?"

"Sadly, they finished their shift a few hours ago." The Project manager said with an uncomfortable look.

She simply nodded at his words.

"In that case, I will return here in the evening. I have no doubt, whatever this is, it will return here. There are few unfinished buildings after all." Agent Hill said with a knowing look as she looked at the other buildings under construction. 

This is far too great of a catch to pass in such a construction site. From her bare minimum understanding, this thing fixes everything he can put his hands on, from a simple light pole to a skyscraper such as this.

"Make sense. I do wish this resolves soon. Many of my boys are anxious that they won't have a job if this continues." 

The woman could only nod seriously at this situation. This is troubling.

While buildings finishing themselves are great and all, it is going to cost people work and… money…

'Money… I wonder…' 

Agent Hill wrote down another word, she is going to check out the companies, and the profit they make from this.

'Not paying for manpower will mean they will save an enormous amount of money.' 

However, she is not 100% certain. If they found a method to do this… it's far too random…

All those constructions happening are far too random, however, she has no other choice or other leads. All she could do was check the supermarket and ask people around if they saw purple light. But that doesn't truly lead anywhere.

'As the director said this is a wild goose chase…' 

At this moment she could check the construction companies, and who is profiting from this the most. Apart from that, she needs to be here when that phenomenon happens to get more clues.

~~~~~~With Alex~~~~~~

Alex was in Central London looking over the Great London Fire.

There is that certain awe for him to see the fire which was burning for over 350 years still burning like this!

Astral Plane or not it's simply amazing to watch this thing continue to burn for so long!

For now, he decided to take this for himself. He knows he can pull this fire into his grimoire, though he needs to compress it first.

And so he spread out his Psionic field and enveloped the fire. To his satisfaction, he CAN remove the fire with his energy field and pull it out from the ground.

That moment Alex summoned his grimoire and opened the book, the third page that moment glowed and he started to suck in the flames. 

The process was not fast or very slow, the whole thing took around an hour and a half just flying around and draining the flames.

Thankfully the city at that time wasn't big.

By the time he was done the page transformed and formed into another image. It was a burning house. 

"A conceptual fire… fascinating, it doesn't burn people but houses? This is quite specific and useful in specific situations." 

He said to himself as he stroked his chin. But then again it's useless against other things. 

After getting the fire, he returned to his body.

Alex doesn't want to leave his body unattended while he is at work. The amount of police and even Military Police has increased significantly in the city. All the Underground stations he visited had at least four police officers. Not to mention, the Metropolitan Police and its other branches are all over the place.

He even saw the classic horseback police, which he rarely sees, walking early in the morning past his street.

They are all looking for anything remotely suspicious.

While there is no connection between him and the building's self-building he doesn't want to slip or anything like that.

His toilet break lasted just less than 3 minutes, as after he was done he left the break room and walked to the canteen where the BBC news was running. He could see the Barclays Skyscraper being shown, live from Canary Wharf. 

Though his eyes were at the bottom of the screen, which says Breaking News. He could see that the Stock Market had crashed.

More specifically the market for the construction companies.

'Thankfully I sold all of them, I would have lost a portion of my wealth!' Alex frowned as he realised how close he was!

He should be careful what he is doing as his powers have repercussions!

"Alex, what a strange world we live in right? That building just popped over the night! And people don't know where to look! Or to thank for! I heard Barclays are willing to pay for the one who did it!" 

For a millisecond, there was a shock on his face which was very quickly hidden with his Hyper Analysis which accelerated his mind. He used that moment to calm down and think about this.

As that fish admiral from Star Wars says;

It's a trap! 

No matter how incredible it sounds he won't reveal himself, only an idiot would sell his freedom for a quick buck. This is Marvel where genetic modifications are not banned by the Geneva Convention.

Or even if it is no one gives a flying fuck about it.

"I doubt anyone will appear to claim it, even if it does it would be some sort of conman," Alex said with a joking tone as he looked at the screen.

"I know, though I want to know who or what did this, it is so random and… quite shocking, perfectly honest." 

The Psionic energy user hummed in agreement. He was fascinated as well! For different reasons that is.

~~~~~~Later at Home~~~~~~

The moment Alex returned home he sighed in relief, he needed to rework certain things with his Conceptual Computer power. Like a reaction to shock, he needs to rework that.

For the simple reason that if anyone asks him things related to all the madness he is causing he doesn't want to slip.

Because of that, he went over to sit in his gaming chair and activated his Hyper Analysis. He pulled all the memories of his poker face and other things and created a poker face sequence to activate when someone asks anything suspicious about all these weird accidents.

He mixed it with curious looks as well, as a poker face itself could trigger suspicion.

This made him realise that he could do some crazy stuff with analysis and movement imitation! He could easily copy what Taskmaster can do!

'Damn! This is so cool! I could easily repeat all that stuff!'

Just for shit and giggles, he pulled all the memories of Bruce Lee moves and copied them. While it was… not as impressive as he thought, but it was not bad either.

Most likely because he only saw them in movies and not personally.

After having some fun Alex returned to his grind in Astral Realm. 

He realised that he could keep on storing his energy away and use it for his construction efforts later on.

Such a process could be done while he is working on constructing those other skyscrapers. 

There is no way he is going to stop here! Fuck this! He is living in the Marvel universe! There are Demons, Elder Gods, Space Gods, World Eaters, Alien Gods, Living Elements, and all sorts of crazy beings!

So, no… he won't stop, not that he is doing something evil or killing people. 

That's why he rushed to Canary Wharf the moment he entered the Astral Plane. 

His eyes went to the closest construction site. Moments later the Rubik's Cube manifested and the puzzle started.

Since he already did a Skyscraper before, it wasn't difficult to make this one flow, not that it was as tall as the Barclays one!

Several hours later the Earth shook and the newly finished building glowed white, a pillar of purple light exploded and rushed into the sky, and thunder rumbled in the clouds before the pillar of energy slammed into Alex who was simply waiting for this with closed eyes.

The moment he opened his eyes he could feel the surge of power.

Thankfully the amount of Psionic energy he receives didn't decrease, he received the same amount as that time he finished Barclays Skyscraper.

Though Alex wanted to see what kind of power he would gain for finishing another banking-related building.

And he was not disappointed as a beam of energy slammed into him!

"Fascinating… I can use this with the storage power. Delivering the dividends. It could work like a sneak attack as no one would expect an Invisible attack to deliver those extra percentages after a successful attack!" 

The Psionic energy user hummed to himself as this could work splendidly if he had enough energy stored away. All his attacks and moves could do up to 20% more damage as long as he has enough energy stored away.

The best part is that no could not protect himself from this, it's delivered directly, as any bank should the services are just perfect.

Alex thought the last part sarcastically. Using banking in a fight… truly 'vicious'.

After inspecting himself he looked at his aura which started to get in his way. 

"I should do something with this."

Floating up he landed on the roof of the Barclays skyscraper, sadly he can't enjoy the fantastic view that London has from such a high point because of the fog.

Through this fog…

Is it part of the Plane or is it part of the perception people have about the city?

If it's perception then he could just absorb the fog into his Grimoire.

To test this he would need to fly outside the city and see for himself.

Something like controlling fog could be very useful, especially in the Marvel universe when you are trying to hide your identity.

Or just to confuse the enemies.

'Yes, going to check this out, controlling fog will be useful.' 

For now, he decided to try controlling the flaming aura around his body.

First, he sits down on the edge of the building and focuses on this aura. It didn't take him long to feel this energy radiating.

Following the example shown in many novels, he decided to compress this energy into a single point in his stomach area.

The process took some time but he was able to do it after several different tries, it seems the following example of a rotation he was able to create a pseudo core of some sort.

When he was done he opened his eyes and inspected himself. It appears he was not translucent, but more solid than ever, there is that thin purple layer around him regardless!

Though it was much thinner than that thick aura he had. Yet, was feeling…much stronger?

'Most likely because I compressed my power, fascinating development.'  

Once he was done with core consolidation

Snort

'Xianxia much?'

It was time to build another building.

~~~~~~Physical Plane~~~~~~

Agent Hill was looking at the newly finished skyscraper with a frown. There was not a single person close to this thing when this supernatural construction started.

She was here for most of the time. There was extra security on the lookout as well.

The whole process lasted around 10 minutes which is absurd and even horrifying. 

"Go inside and check out the building interior." She ordered some of the Police officers.

"...Should we have proper gear for this?" One of the officers asked with some concern.

"The building is stable from what I have heard with the supermarket and the Library. What I want is to try finding any sort of clues who might have done this." The agent woman said with a frown as she started to walk towards the newly built City Bank Skyscraper.

Seeing her walking towards the building, the police officers followed her.

The moment Agent Hill was inside she saw that the place was ready for use. From the company emblems on the walls to the computers at the reception.

"Sweet God. Even the computers are here!" One of the officers said with a gulp.

This thing can even produce technology like this! These things were of proper brand as well! Like they were bought from an electronic store!

"I heard that the supermarket was ready to use too, the only thing which was needed was the products." Another one said as he inspected the waiting area, the couches and the soft seats were there as well.

There was even a coffee machine ready to use at the corner!

'Only thing that is needed is people to run this place. Such a meticulous being…' Agent Hill thought with a frown as she inspected the reception herself.

"Let's go downstairs to check if the power and water supply are connected to the city's system."

The woman ordered the officers as they started to walk downstairs.

…

…

…

By this point, Maria Hill wasn't shocked anymore to find out that the building can be fully turned on by the switch of a few buttons.

Water and Electricity were prepared for proper use, and the grid and the water pipes were brand new.

After checking the basement they went up to the first floor. Though they all stopped in their tracks as they saw through the windows that the third skyscraper was under rapid construction as well!

"Agent Hill! What should we do!?"

"Let's get out and record this!"

Not that there is anything else she could do!

~~~~~~With Alex~~~~~~

The third building wasn't as tall as the other two, it was the American bank, though the Psionic power he got was as much as the other two times.

What he got as power for the third building made him quite giddy!

It's based on lending and interests! 

For example, he could give someone Psionic power, It could grow and then he could take it back with interest. 

Or another one is just taking the enemy's hits and absorbing them as Psionic power. 

Though this is quite Masochist.

'There is another skyscraper waiting to be finished. If I follow this trend of banking-based concepts then it will be based on collateral damage collection. I already have storage, dividends, interest, lending… not much left.'

It was his idea though. Not that he would mind such power being added to his arsenal.

After inspecting himself, he proceeded to build the next financial building. He will leave the last skyscraper with a mall and the Train station for tomorrow.

The speed of construction was much faster now, he did it three times already and his computer power allowed him to rapidly figure out the building, it does help as he saw these buildings before!

With a record time, he finished the whole thing. After receiving the power boost he waited for that power.

"Heh… so it was collateral damage. With this, I am pretty sure I have most of the Banking powers available for me." 

Alex said to himself as he inspected himself, it appears he will need to compress the power he received once more.

Though with such cheat-like powers…

'I do wonder if they got buffed up? They feel far too absurd. Especially the last one.' 

After thinking about this for a bit he flew back to his home.

Not realising that there was a certain agent in the physical plane fuming for being so useless and not understanding what was going on!

~~~

Once returning to the place above his house Alex inspected the Psionic brick he constructed before. It was still there and very much solid!

A quick observation led him to believe that this thing is very durable, how much? He is going to figure it out.

To do that, he created a solid spike on the ground and then yanked the Psionic brick into that spike.

Glass Shatter

The spike was destroyed like a thin and cheap glass by the 2x2 metre brick!

"No competition there, this thing is solid." 

The Psionic energy user mumbled to himself, he wasn't holding back with his force, he was pretty sure with the amount of Psionic force he can generate, it should be enough to kill a regular man.

For a moment he thought he should find a way to measure his power.

'I can do that later. For now, let's see how durable this brick is.'

As he said that he floated down and picked the brick up, or tried to. He needed to use his psionic power to lift it! He can't do it normally!

This means this thing is absurdly heavy!

'Oh! This is impressive! Is this like an effect of the material? Like vibranium and its cheating ability to absorb vibrations?' Alex thought with a giddy look. 

This opens up a load of new opportunities!

Once he placed the material back in the air! Which means, or he thinks it does, it has gravity-negating traits!

He started to expand on this brick, for that his Grimoire opened and the second page glowed. He started to increase the brick size.

That's the magic of this power! It's almost lego or that clay kids use to play with.

Though this one is much more dangerous and durable.

After expanding the brick from 2x2 to 5x5 of its size it was time for him to return home.

~~~

The moment he returned to his body he heard voices in his mind!

'That kid sure is quiet nowadays.'

'So tired! Why do I have to work so much!'

'Darum dum dum!'

'Hmm? What the!? I can hear voices!?' 

Alex for a second panicked, he remembered how Jean Grey used to have issues with hearing people's thoughts! 

He quickly focused on himself, he felt like he just pulled the hearing field closer to himself.

This made him stop hearing voices. 

He was wondering when he would be able to pick up telepathy.

It appears all he needed to do is have a 'breakthrough' in his 'cultivation'.

'More like my energy became so potent, to the point that another power manifested as a side effect.'

As he said that he stood up and walked over to pick a mirror and look at himself in it.

His blue eyes are non-existent anymore. It was a light shade of purple. 

He tried to summon some of his power and at that moment the purple colour glowed in intensity consuming the whole of his eyes.

That moment he could hear inner voices from all over his neighbourhood!

This instantly made him sort this out and mute at the same time! Thanks to his Computer power he was saved from this kind of madness.

Regardless, this was not a true solution to the issue. He needs to train his power. And learn how to sort this out on his own.

For that multitasking should be possible, it's a computer thing. Sure enough, just thinking in that direction he was able to do it!

His computer power took another leap forward alongside his Psionic power output.

The first objective for his multitasking is Psionic power output control.

He simply can't have an outburst of any sort! It's suicidal not for his life but for his regular life.

That simply can't happen, not at this time at least. It's pretty sure it will be normal for him later on. But not now.

For that, this multitask will be essential. 

That moment, his kettle floated up on its own and went to the sink. The lid of the kettle opened and water poured into it. 

Once there was sufficient water the water flow stopped and the kettle lid closed, then the kettle floated down into its socket and then turned on.

All that happened without Alex even looking. He made his Psionic power work with the assistance of his Computer power sequence!

"Well, it works. I can return to my money-making." He said that with a smile as he walked over and took his seat in front of his computer.

He still has around an hour before the Stock Market will close.

Quickly logging in later, he found out that he earned over 850£.

Thanks to his quick thinking he sold the construction companies stocks.

He reused that money on other more stable companies. While he didn't earn a lot. He did earn.

As he was doing stock research, his psionic powers prepared his food for him. He will have a quick snack with quickly prepared noodles.

Psionic Powers are truly lazy man's best friend!

He didn't even need to move his hands as the plastic pot simply floated in front of him and landed on the table.

~~~~~~Next Day~~~~~~

It was Friday, and it was the last day for Alex before the weekend started.

Weekends are great because he can do whatever he wants with his free time.

His short-term plan is to visit the museum, not in Physical Plane but in Astral One.

He is wondering if he will be able to pick up anything impressive from that place.

Since it holds semi-broken items from all over the world. There should be at least one item which he could fix and gain something.

Though… How much power will he gain from fixing an item instead of a building? 

Well, it doesn't matter.

"Hmm?"

He felt his phone vibrating. He pulled it out and a calendar date was put on the alarm.

It says the project deadline is to be done by Sunday night.

"Crap baskets, I still have my economics assignment!"

For a second he grimaced. 

That moment he tried out to see if he could multitask even more.

Turns out he can do that. Though the limit was three at this moment.

'Well, this is fine. Let's see how quickly I can finish this project.' Since his mind was like a computer, he can do computer-like things.

Like excel and other stuff does work. 

~~~

Friday is always that time when you want to finish things as soon as possible, and he did that. He finished his tasks and waited for the clock on the wall to hit that fateful hour before he could go home.

Thankfully, he had time to waste, he watched the news which was all about the mysterious and magical construction of the skyscrapers.

'Oh shit… I did finish an American building. Does this mean SHIELD will get involved? That sucks, I am going to need to be careful about this. 

This does make me curious what will those conspiracy theorists think about all this? Sadly with current tech, I can't watch YouTube on my phone, yet.' Alex sighed to himself as he looked at BBC news on the TV. 

He can already see a bunch of professors, specialists and other specialists talking with reporters and asking for their opinions on this matter. 

So far he didn't see anyone familiar on the screen. 

'I do need to find out what kind of marvel place I have ended up in. Does it have X-Men? This means the mutants are real, or if it has the Eternals and those deviants, if they are around then Celestials are real.

Sometimes it's scary what the smallest of the clues can reveal.' Alex frowned realising how big of an Iceberg is this reality.

Finally after watching the news with an internal smirk since it was hilarious how some people said that it was a trick, smoke and mirrors.

Reminding him of a certain human from Dragon Ball Z.

Regardless, he quickly went to change his clothes and rushed back home. 

~~~

Back in Astral Plane the first thing Alex did was to increase the size of the Psionic Construct of his.

Well, it's not a brick anymore, more like a floating platform. 

It reminded him that he doesn't need to build this thing from separate pieces. It will be an item created from a single thing! Like carved from a single source.

The more he worked on this the more Alien-like it will look! One single smooth surface.

After spending all of his Psionic energy and the stored one as well the surface area grew from 5x5 to 10x10 metres!

It was quite large and since it was purple the colour it reflected was impressive in quite a dreadful way.

He still doesn't have a full idea of what this fortress will look like but the idea is that he will keep his supernatural stuff here. 

Or at least the Psionic things he has crafted. 

'This reminds me… will I be able to bring these things into the Physical Plane?'

For a bit, he frowned. He needs to be aware of the Astral Plane while being in the Physical Plane.

'Wait, if I do that, wouldn't it mean that I consciously exist in two planes? Does this mean I will be a four-dimensional being?'

This was a curious thought on his side. 

'Well, I can think about this later. I still have a few things to build.'

Once he recovered enough, Alex flew back to Canary Wharf.

While he can see people in the Astral Plane, they are like statues barely moving. There were quite a few of them. There were even reporters there as well!

'Oh, curious.'

He floated down in front of one. It was a lady in her middle ages. He hadn't seen her before even though she was working for the BBC. That's the thing about him being in a different reality.

There is barely anyone he knows working on TV or the government. Even the Prime Minister is some random person.

Though historical people are still there, all the way up to 1970. Like Kennedy as US President and Churchill as the Prime Minister in World War 2. Though the rest are some random dudes he has no interest in.

'Let's see… can, I interact with a person while being in the Astral Plane? If so, how much? Will my actions end up on TV? Well, that's the best way to figure it out!'

As far as he knows, physical plane buildings and items are extremely solid in the Astral Plane. Since it's a 'ghost realm', ghosts don't have much physical strength…but can one interact with the Physical plane? From all the TV stuff he saw about ghosts he should be able to do it.

So for a test, he decided to grab her microphone.

Instead of using his hand he used his psionic energy and tried to lift the microphone from her hands!

A small frown appeared on his face as he felt that he was using more energy than he should need just to lift a simple item like a Microphone!

However, after a few trials, he was able to!

'Hehehe, this is going to be fun!'

Alex chuckled to himself as he made the microphone float from her hands away, towards the construction building he will build next!
