Chapter 149 – Random Battle Start!

  AN: Before we start I swear that the Champions' pairing was made through a random number geor, the only decision I made is the result of their battles, and who among the 3 odds Champions got the bye. I decided to do it this way because it felt more fun to write. And I have to admit that the random pairing ged some of the pns I had for some Champions but it also stimuted my imagination making me e up with new and I feel better plot points. As always have fun.

  Jayr POV - Earth, Teoppa City - 1007 AFA-SW

  [Third, it is forbidden to escape the battle by telep to another Universe through teiques, magic, teology, or any kind of object or artifact, su attempt will always result in failure. The only way to leave that Universe will be by killing your oppo or defeating it in an approved challenge. Ahing is that this Random Battle will st for a year, which means if a year passes but there isn't a winner yet, then it will deemed a draw and both Champions will be able to leave with the Unigate or their own means.]

  Hearing what Culture just said, I 't help but curse out loud, while at the same time, my mind moves faster than the speed of light as I analyze the situation, 'Damn it! That means that if I 't find a the other Champion quickly enough, I won't make it in time to take part in Shaina's wedding, and even worse I'll miss Tio and Saori's due date!'

  But before I could make other pns, Culture adds, [Last, you won't be able to scry or pick up the other champion's position unless you are a certain distance from your oppo, this means that you won't be able to feel the Champion's preseh your usual ic Awareness, nor hear it talking or smell some kind of unique smell with supernatural senses, nor use the Crateris Cloth to predict its future position, of course, the same is also true for your oppo. And don't even think about finding their position and taking advantage of the void that their prote creates because you simply won't be able to perceive it. Anyway for more precise details about the distaneeded for this "prote" to wear off, you simply o know that it is equal to the size of your Soulbouory, which means that Champions with a stronger blessing will have an advantage over those with weaker ones.]

  At this point, the frown on my face grows bigger as I mutter, "When it rains, it pours. What is worse is that everything is also decided by pure random ce. If I'm lucky I will find myself in a retively small universe where all the important plots are on a small p like Earth making the search for the Champion a lot easier but if I'm in a big universe like this one I will basically need a miracle to find the Champion in time."

  Then as I'm about to ask another question, I hear the usual meical voice of the Unigate, [AttEnTiOn! AttEnTiOn! To rAnDoM UnIvERse WiLL StaRt in 25 MiNuTeS! To rAnDoM UnIvERse WiLL StaRt in 25 MiNuTeS! Be PreSent oR iT WilL bE siDereD AS yoUR wIthDrawAl FroM The Battle Across The Omniverse and So yoU wilL Lose YouR BLESSING witH All ItS PrivileGes! I RePeAt! Be PreSent oR iT WilL bE siDereD AS yoUR wIthDrawAl FroM The Battle Across The Omniverse and So yoU wilL Lose YouR BLESSING witH All ItS PrivileGes! THIS MESSAGE WILL BE REPEATED EVERY 5 MINUTES UNLESS YOU STAND IN FRONT OF THE UNIGATE!]

  Hearing that, I quickly ask, "How does that prote deal with teology? What if I build a high-tech drone or hato a satellite or something simir?"

  Culture then quickly replies with a joyful tone, [Good, that is one of the ways to get around this situation but even this path has some limits. If you build something yourself you 't surpass the teology level of that Universe by too mud with that I mean a level of teology that is impossible for that universe's rules, I admit we were quite vague on this point but trust me it is for the best... But nothing stops you from using what is already avaible over there, for example, you find yourself in a world where every person impnted a special chip at birth, and that chip allows the stant surveilnce of that individual, now all you have to do is hato those surveilnce systems and find the ohout a chip and check with you ic Awareness if you feel that individual's presence, if you 't that means that you found you target... Of course what I told you is a very specifid easy sario, but you get the idea, right?]

  I nod then after thanking Culture, I quickly send a telepathic message to everyone giving them a very brief rundown of the situation telling them about the cepts, the Battle Across the Omniverse, and the other Champions, and instantly, Lenome, Kamina, Simon and the others wao e with me to help with my Random Battle.

  In response, I thahem for their support but also told them that there isn't a need for them to e with me and that if I truly need help I always summon them using the Seed of Culture.

  Ohey heard that, they all agreed and wished me luck before tellihat they'd all be ready to be summo any moment as the Teoppa Dai-Gurren Brigade would always watch my back, making me very thankful for their support.

  Then after saying goodbyes, I rush into my Soulbouory and stand in front of the Unigate, waiting to get transferred while still trying to e up with a method to quickly find and how to deal with the Champion, but the random nature of everything makes it difficult for me to e up with something substantial.

  Like that 20 minutes quickly pass, and the Unigate's meical monotone voice states, [RANDOM BATTLE PROTOCOL StarTed... Syng wiTh RandOm UniGate... SYnG pLeTe... RanDomly InpUtIng OmniVersal CooRdiNATes. StAnd stIll plEAsE.]

  At the same time, the st starts to rotate and lock seven different glyphs on seven different V-like points of the circur stoe, and as soon as the 7th glyph is locked, in the middle of the gate, a burst of unstable energy emanates from an activating Unigate in the shape of a vortex and soon after a water-like portal is opened.

  Then the monotone meical voice says, [ThE gAtE Is OpEn... May Culture Be With You...]

  At this point, I take a deep breath and gripping the Silver Core Drill hanging around my neck, I mutter, "e on Jayr, you do this!"

  Without losing another moment I quickly jump into the water-like portal, I'm transported to a new unknown Universe.

  Jayr POV - ??? Universe, ??? - ???

  After jumping through the Unigate, I feel the straer-like sistency of the gate on my skin for an instant, and the moment, my feet touch the ground and my senses are briefly overwhelmed by the familiar ruckus of a moderropolitan city a sharp trast with the quietness of my Soulbouory.

  At the same time, I step on the ground of this new Universe, the first thing I do I hold back my senses and ic Awareness as much as possible while thinking, 'Better be careful, for all I knht now I could be ihulhu Mythos Universe and if there is ohing that is sure in those universe is as zsche's quote says: "If you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." This means that if I use my ic Awareness ahe presence of some almost omnipotent Eldrich Horror, then I be sure that the Eldrich Horror iion will also know about me. And that isn't something I want to deal with as soon as I step into an unknown universe.'

  After that, I quickly gnce around to check my surroundings ahat I'm in a shady alley, from the level htness arou seems early m, and in the distan both sides I notice many people passing by, moving on with their day not g about their surroundings, I also notice that their fashion sense is quite simir to the one I'm used to, a hint that this Universe is probably based oh, especially since from what I'm pig up they all speaking in good old English with mostly an Ameri dialect based on their pronunciations, vocaburies, and spelling.

  Realizing this, I quickly pull out some casual clothes from my Soulbouory and quickly ge the very "primitive" outlook from Teoppa Gurren Lagann's Universe that I almost fot still had on, putting on a simple pair of jeans with a simple white t-shirt with the Crateris Cloth in its steltion Form drawn on the back gifted by Seika and made by the Graad Foundation, which also hides the Silver Core Drill hanging on my neck, and of course some white sneakers with azure details.

  After that, I check my own situation, and feeling the Spiral o easily moving in my body, a grin forms on my face as I mutter, "Well, apparently this version of Earth isn't as simple as it first appears as supernatural energies are allowed..."

  Then I turn my Spiral o into simple Magic Power and instantly I feel its movement stop as I tio analyze, "This means that magi general does here. This for sure helps narrow down the sele of pces... But not by a lot now that I carefully think about it, you know the problem with infinite universes is that there are infinite possibilities..."

  Realizing that, I realize that it is time to use the most reliable method, one used by the most capable agents of all kinds anizations, ohat worked sihe beginning of the Omniverse and that never failed, I get out of this alley and try to uand where and when I'm like a normal person, I look and ask around to some people.

  So I walk out of the alley and start to randomly walk around, but just with that, I already have an inkling of where I could be, and the more I look around, the stronger my suspi gets until I stop in front of a shop window of aronic store and look at the switched on ft s showing a certain talk show he Cameron an Hour hosted by a certain Cameron an, a caucasian man with bck hair and eye dressed in a suit.

  But he isn't the ohat firmed my suspi, nor all the strange merdise and publicity about many people dressed like superheroes, or the ever-present mark of a certain Ameri multi-billion dolr superhero eai glomerate.

  No, what firmed my suspi, is the very punchable, psychotic, sociopathic face of that actor Antony Starr, a tall Caucasian man with blonde hair, fair skin, and blue eyes as he wears a blue superhero suit with red gloves and boots, and gold shoulder pads and wrist protectors, as well as a cape that stands for America, symbolizing some kind of patriotism, as he sits down on the couch with a fake smile on his face as he probably says some bullshit wrote by someone else.

  Looking at his fake smile and feeling the stant killing i he emanates from his dead eyes, I 't help but think, 'That is her than John Gillman, the fug Homehis means that I'm in The Boys Universe, a show I quite enjoyed in my past life.'

  Spoiler

  [colpse]But then a frown forms on my face as I realize something, 'But I don't know whely I'm yet... Moreover, when I first died the 3rd season was just announced, and I don't know what happened after the cliffhanger ending of the sed, where Victoria Neuman blew someone's head up and after that, Hughie decided to join the Federal Bureau of Superhuman Affairs under her.'

  Then I grin forms on my face as I realize that the only true threat in this universe will be that of the other Champion, and so I happily think, 'This is some very good news for me... and a very bad one for all the assholes living in this Universe. I'll put the fear of God in them, and not the biblical one...'

  At the same time, a more crete pn starts to form on how to win this Random Battle as quickly as possible, 'Since I have nothing to fear from the people of this Universe, I use a differehod from my usual ohis time I will use a very high-profile approach, I'll basically put a target on my bad openly reveal my existeo everyone in the world.'

  At this point, I start to walk away from the store's shop window as I tio think about my pn, 'But how exactly catch that attention... even if it is Tio and Saori's sake I won't do something evil like blowing up a city...'

  Then while I was fog on that, my gaze fell once again on the many Vought Iional marked publicity, and an idea quickly sparked in my mind

  A grin forms on my face as a pn starts to form in my mind, 'Yes! Let's bring down an evil Ameri multi-billion dolr superhero eai glomerate and all its supes! After all all the shit they have done 't be hidden from the gaze of a God. A God of Justice that distinguish the guilty from the i.'

  And my grin grows bigger as I tio aimlessly walk around, '...And especially with Cratergann's help who be sidered a God of Teology that easily assimite a moon-sized battleship which is who knows how much more advahan anything this Universe thinks possible... Taking trol of a worldwide work like the I should be a lot easier... Any kind of dirty deed will be up in the sun, no matter how much they try to hide it...'

  '...Moreover, even if they truly destroyed any file on their works, something impossible unless it was on a single hard drive not ected to the work and the said hard drive was then thrown in the sun, even in that case I simply read their mind and then obtain the proofs with some little time manipution... Hell if push es to shove I even simply force them to admit all their misdeeds... Truly this is the first time I feel quite overpowered pared to my target, it is so unfair that I almost feel pity for them... almost.'

  As I'm walking through the packed streets, I suddenly hear someone shout out, "Hey you! Stop"

  My gaze locks on the in of that voice as his tone is clearly very aggressive and see what is obviously a male Supes whose suit design is simir to that of a poliiform as if the people at Vaught Iional want to reinforce his image as a "super cop."

  But looking at him all I see is the clearly wrong stereotype of the racist cop as he is rushing over clearly aiming at a b young man who is simply waiting for the bus with a look full of mali his eyes and a maniacal grin on his face as he gets ready to hit the puy with his baton.

  Especially sihrough Divinity, in my eyes the super cop's soul is a thick bloody red almost on the verge of being bck, hinting just how much pain and suffering he brought onto this world.

  Meanwhile, another real crime is happening iore a few meters away from there, as a pair of masked meempting an armed robbery, which, remembering how those things usually work in this Universe, will probably be used as a cover story for the beatdown or maybe everaight-up murder of that puy.

  Seeing all that, I let out a sigh and decide to intervene, I start to use my telekinesis to trip him, gifting the super cop a ruinous fall as he crashes through the bus stop pole barely missing the young bck man, and thearts to tally roll of the crete in the middle of the road until it crashes against an ining speeding truck that sends him flying a few meters until he crashes headfirst into the ground.

  But despite that, I still sehat he is somewhat fine, just a little bruised thanks to his Supes' stitution and that he will quickly get up again, so I quickly decide to take advantage of the chaos to knock him out using my Telephaty to overload his brain and send him into a deep nightmare fuelled sleep.

  At the same time, I disarm the two robbers by breaking their guns apart and knog them out by telekinally throwing a couple of s of beans at them.

  Then I look at the damaged truck that appeared almost out of nowhere and helped me in taking care of that piece of shit in an apparently tal manner and remembering the various manga, anime, novels, and fanfis I read, an amused grin form on my face as I jokingly cp my hands holding them in a prayer pose and mutter while my thanks, "Thank you for your hard work almighty Truck-kun always ready to lead a hand to random omnipotent beings or other kinds of deities when they request your help for their godly intervention! May Culture and the other cepts bless you!"

  But strahe y truck, as the driver is cheg on the downed super cop in worry with a whole lot of passersby, honks two times as if to aowledge my thanks.

  Stunned on the spot, I 't help but ask Culture in my mind, 'What the...? Did that thing just happen? I'm pretty sure that my mind isn't being altered by some kind of outside influence. What is going on here!?'

  Then I hear Culture's voice as he chuckles and expins, [Heh. Yes, Jayr it really happehat was the work of the newly born and budding cept of Truck-kun. The idea and meaning of Truck-kun got so popur, broad, and strong, that it has quickly raised to the status of cept, but it is still too new ao take part in this kind of petition, or even take care of its duties as a cept as it is still way too immature, so we all decided to let it move around this Omniverse in a godly avatar to slowly gain experience...]

  Hearing that, I'm so stuhat probably my face looks like the shocked Pikachu face meme while the only thought in my mind is that Truck-kun really exists and that currently, it is a God that aimlessly wahe Omniverse while running over all kinds of people, at the same time, I mutter out loud, "Maybe it is better to scrap the idea of h Dio's iic move Road Roller-Da on Homender using a truck while yelling: Truck-kun Da!"

  But I'm once again surprised as the same empty truce again honks a few more times as if amused by the idea, something, that Culture's voice then firms, [Yes, it said that you do it, as it would be funny to actually do it. Moreover, it tells me that as you are a newly asded God if you truly call out its h that teique, it el its powers to reinate that piece of shit in another Universe of its choice, and it is currently leaning toward Boku no Pico but it is open to suggestion.]

  Even if still a little fused by what is going on, I shake my head aally reply giving my advice, 'While it is cruel to send someoo that Universe, Homender is a total psycho, in fact, he could even enjoy it... A better punishment for him would be, to be reinated in the My Hero Academia/Boku no Hero Academia Universe as a Quirkless. You know, for someone like him who thinks that he is a god among men, being one of the very few men among the many, many gods could be a perfect punishment.'

  This time, the damaged truck doesn't honk, but Culture says in its pce, [Truck-kun agrees with you. Saying that it could really be the best choice for someone like him, so if you really want you pull off that move. Anyway, focus on what is really important, the other Champion.]

  Hearing that, I nod and mutter, "I'll think about it." trying to not think too much about the implications of having actually met Truck-kun.

  After that, I tio aimlessly walk through the streets of what I now know for sure is New York City while ign the situation of the super cop who will be in a a-like sleep for around two hours and that because of the unfortunate impact his head had with the crete of the road will also have all his memories of the day erased, 'Just a preventive measure to make sure that he won't find that poor man to clude what he started or vent his frustration out on him.'

  While walking, gathering information from the people, and looking around, I 't help but notice the innumerable publicity for all kinds of products and all around, moreover, all with Vought Iional mark or one of its subsidiaries or associates, hinting the kind of power over the masses that this corrupt anization has reached which is really scary if oruly think about it.

  And so I start to refresh what I remember about the glomerate, 'At the beginning, it was only a pharmaceutical pany created by a nazi, dedicated to the researd development of pound V and its secret formu, but from there Vought Iional has expaheir influence across every single form of eai, including movies, ics, musid TV shows. And it didn't stop there, Vought Iional has a hand in real estate owning multiple residential institutions and group homes, the charity with a variety of non-profit anizations, so that they retain a good reputation and also use them to hide the darker operation, clothing, food, education, energy, and more important, also military as a defense and arms tractor division, manufacturing military-style ons, supplies and other such products. Plus all the other things not shown oV show and that I don't know about.'

  At this point, I enter another empty alley and after making sure that there aren't any cameras, I lightly jump over to the top of a nearby building to distance myself from the mass of people and calmly think over the rest of my pn, 'I now know that a little over a year passed sihe Nazi Stormfront's sdal and it is the year 2022 basically a year after the end of the sed season of the show and from what I learned until now it apparently seems that no other Champion came to this Universe before the Random Battle, but I'll have to make sure of that. First of all, I want to check the situation of the Boys and the others not only to firm the story is truly like I remember but maybe even to see if they want to watch the spectae taking care of Vought Iional and the Supes.'

  While thinking that, I py with the Silver Core Drill in my hands and tihen I have to hato Vought Iional's work and gather all the dirty deeds they have hidden, while also making them publi a very showy fashion plus making sure that they 't recover from it.'

  I look up at the cloudy sky as I tio think about the course of a, 'After that, I have to wait and see if the Champion will reveal him, her, or itself. If the Champio, then I'll be forced to use a much more violent approach even if I truly don't want to do it. I'll simply create a temporary p on the same orbit as Earth. Then I'll teleport there all the living beings I sense, after that it will be easy to find out the Champion as I only have to run around the po sense for the only living being in 5 km2 and if it isn't a living being, and I still 't find the Champion, then I will simply threaten to blow up the whole p... A little too radical for my taste but at least it should work... I just hope that the situation won't degee to that point.'

  With a clear pn of a, I quickly move to the first point of my agenda, finding out about the boys' situation, so I y eyes and expand my seo envelop the whole p fog my awareness on finding the right people, but all the normal humahe same, so I chose to focus on the Supes close to my targets, Annie aka Starlight, and Kimiko, as they should be more unique and reizable pared to Frenchie, Mother's Milk, Butcher, and Hugh.
