Vishnu: The Preserver of the Omniverse (Extended Edition)
Chapter 1: The Celestial Dawn
In the cosmic expanse, before the dawn of time, there existed a realm of pure energy, a cradle of creation. From this primordial sea emerged the Celestials, beings of unimaginable power and ancient wisdom, led by the imposing Arishem the Judge. Their purpose: to sculpt the universe, to seed life, and to usher in an era of cosmic evolution. Among them was Vishnu, a being of serene blue and gold, his very essence a beacon of light and order. Unlike his brethren, Vishnu possessed a deep empathy for the life he helped create, a yearning to protect and nurture the fragile tapestry of existence.
Vishnu, the preserver, was gifted with a staff imbued with the Time Infinity Stone, granting him a unique understanding of the universe's flow and making him the guardian of its timelines. His powers were vast, his very presence a calming force amidst the chaotic energy of the Celestials. Eons ago, he had been gifted Lakshmidevi, a Celestial Eternal, by One Above All, a celestial above Arishem the judge. Lakshmidevi was his loyal companion, a constant presence in his cosmic wanderings.
With the guidance of the One Above All, Vishnu forged a unique path, intertwining his Celestial destiny with the ancient lore of Hindu mythology. He saw the potential for a balance, a bridge between the vast cosmos and the spiritual realm that resonated with the hearts of sentient beings. He created the Devas, his own group of 100 Eternals, a pantheon of celestial beings who embodied the essence of ancient scriptures with both Surya, Vayu, Agni, Garuda, Yamuna, and Indra as his prime eternals. These five prime eternals of the 100 Devas which Vishnu dubbed them as Pandavas. Indra is the leader of the Pandavas and King of all Devas. Aditi, the first Eternal born from Vishnu's essence, was the mother of the Devas, her wisdom and compassion a guiding light for the new celestial lineage. Alongside Aditi, Bhoomidevi, Lakshimidevi, Indra, Surya, Devas, Vayu, Agni, Yamuna, Garuda, Yama (son of Surya), aspiras, Gandhavas, Brahmins, Ganas (followers of Shiva), Shiva the destroyer, and Brahma the creator joined the ranks, forming the Hindu faction – a powerful force for order and dharma within the vast Marvel universe.
Vishnu established his domain, the World Forge – a celestial haven dubbed Vaikuntha, nestled within the Milky Wave Galaxy, a realm where cosmic energies flowed in harmony with the spiritual realm. This was his sanctuary, his watchful eye over the universe, a bastion of peace amidst the ever-present threats of cosmic chaos.
Chapter 2: Earth and the Emergence of Deviants
Vishnu, along with the other Celestials, seeded Earth with a nascent Celestial embryo. The Deviants were created to eliminate the planet's dominant predators, allowing humanity to thrive and eventually usher in the Emergence of the Celestial. However, the Deviants, with their rapidly evolving biology, deviated from their purpose, turning into a destructive force, wreaking havoc across the planet.
Vishnu, witnessing the devastation, acted. He commanded his Pandavas and his Devas, sending them to Earth to curb the Deviant threat and protect the developing human civilization. The Pandavas and the Devas, with their unique powers and abilities, fought alongside the Eternals to ensure the balance of life on Earth, ushering in an era where humanity could flourish under the celestial gaze.
Chapter 3: The Human Realm and the Rise of Vishnu

Aditi, ever-present in Vishnu's life, remained the loving matriarch of the Devas, her support unwavering. She was pleased to see her sons create bonds with each other and others, spreading his wisdom and protecting those in need.
