Chapter 333 – The Other Champions 10

  Jawo Tirr POV - ??? Universe, Earth, Tokyo, Ukiyoe Town - 2010

  Walking through the busy streets of this town, I 't help but feel very tense as the distant echoes of the Force that resides in this particur universe warhat something bad is about to happen and this has worried me a lot since around a month passed since I arrived in this universe and until today everything was mostly calm.

  As I tio walk among these people letting the Fuide me, I also go over everything I experienced since I arrived in this strange universe.

  After walking through the Unigate, I found myself in a dark alley of a massive shopping distrid the first thing I noticed was the figure of tless people walking on both sides of the alley's exits.

  Unluckily for me, all these people were regur humans who made me realize that the universe I arrived in was very likely one of those where Humans are the only race living in it, which made my physical appearance quite an issue as even if humanoid, the Twi'leki's look is still obviously quite alien pared to the regur humans.

  Luckily, I had a Holographic Cloaking Unit in my Soulbouory that is capable of making its user appear almost entirely invisible and is perfect for a situation like this one, especially sihe teology of this universe isn't that advanced making it even less likely for me to be found.

  Once I used the Holographic Cloaking Unit to make myself invisible, I let the fuide me and started to explore the area to learn more about this curious universe.

  Luckily, I didn't have any problem with the nguage as I took advantage of my other journey around the Omniverse to update my Personal Universal Transtor (PUT for short) with all the nguages existing oh and a few other words.

  Sure, creating the nguage chips was a true chore at times but in the end, it was very useful because the Earth and the Sor System in general is a very ohat exists in almost all the possible universes which makes knowing their various nguages more useful than knowing the Gactic Basic Standard or the Binary.

  While expl the town ued and listening to the people aroualking, I learhat I was oh, more specifically in Japan in a town named Ukiyoe Town of the Kantion and that for the people living here, this world was pletely normal without any knowledge of its Supernatural side.

  But of course, the fact that I could feel and use the Force quickly warned me that there was a lot more than pearances would let on.

  With that knowledge, I tio explore the towing the Fuide me and after some time, I ended up in a heavily cealed part of the street, but ohat was still very busy and lively only the beings calmly walking around weren't humans, they were a species of supernatural beings with a very varied appearahat called themselves Yokai.

  Seeing just how varied they look, I decided to undo my cloaking and take advantage of my alien appearao mih them, and in doing that, I learhat Yokai is a term used for a wide variety of supernatural creatures from Japanese folklore.

  They are more only referred to as "spirits," some possess part-animal and part-humaures, some were once humans who became Yokai after death, and some are inanimate objects who came to life.

  I also learhat there are various fas within the Yokai unities, some are quite malevolent others much more benign.

  The biggest and most powerful Yokai fa iern Japan is the Nura which currently rules over the Kanto area keeping order among all the other smaller Yokai Fas.

  After learning that, I spent most of the time living among the Yokai learning more about them while also keeping an eye and ear open in case the other Champion who arrived in this Universe decides to make a move or peacefully appear in front of me, but for more than a month nothing of note happehe only thing worth of note is the gossip that the Nurarihyon's Grandson finally took up the mantle of Nurarihyon and officially bee the Nura head.

  I suddenly stop as the Force's warnis strohan ever as the earth under my feet starts to heavily quake causing some form of panic among the people oreets, but not that much as earthquakes are a on occurren Japan.

  But I know that this earthquake is everything but natural as using the Force I feel a strange energy affeg the earth below my feet and causing this earthquake which is specifically localized in the area around me.

  Moreover, this energy is very different from the "Osore" used by the Yokai which makes me instantly suspect that it is the work of the other Champion.

  Realizing that, I use the Force to keep my bance despite the shakih and keep my e with the Force open to stantly feel what is happening around me as the scale of the earthquake keeps getting stronger and starts to cause some heavy damage which makes me e to the clusion that the Champio care about any colteral damage at all.

  Soon the earthquake gets s that the buildings arouart to crumble and since I 't let these i people die because of the battle between us Champion, I fully tap into the Ford use it to keep these buildings from colpsing hoping to buy enough time for the people io escape to safety.

  The pressure is a lot as I'm basically holding dozens of buildings, equal to I do not even know how many tons of weight, on my own which is quite straining, but this is something I have to do as there are i men, women, and children ihose buildings and I won't let them die in a battle they had nothing to do with.

  Suddenly, I hear a cold female voice that says, "You hero types are always all the same. Ready to waste your life for people who won't hesitate to kick you when you are down... Oh well, at least this makes it very easy for me to take advantage of this trait."

  As I try to keep my hold on the nearby buildings, I look in the dire from where the voice is ing from and see a young woman standing with her arm crossed a few meters away from me with short brown hair and a tan skin tone.

  Her eyes are quite strange as they naturally look like they are closed, but despite that, I 't help but have the impression that they are in fact open and she see me perfectly well.

  Beside her, there is a strange 1-meter tall bipedal creature with triangur, brown eyes, light brown skin, and a cream-colored underside.

  The creature has two small cws, one on each hand, that serves as its thumbs, e nail on each foot that makes up its toes, and it has a short tail with a small spike he tip.

  But the most curious aspect is its head which is posed of a skull mask with two pointed spikes on the back simir to ears and tiny nostrils oip of the snout that seems seamlessly fused with its head, moreover, it is armed with some kind of bone club.

  Spoiler

  [colpse]The woman looks at me in the eyes and with a sneer she says, "I'm sure that Yaling is already waiting for us so let's just end this. Marowak. Hyper Beam!"

  In respoo her and, the small creature named Marowak quickly gathered an incredible amount of energy in the form of a shining ball right in front of its snout before it let out a cry and released a powerful energy beam that quickly advaoward me giving me no ce to defend as it pletely envelope my body.

  Kang Yaling POV - saw Man Universe, Earth, Tokyo - 1996

  I'm lying on a ben a random park calmly looking at the sky as the sound of explosions and screams full of terror reach my ears and I sing, "?You try to ruhrough. Hold on, think again. Don't you know what you're starting? But you sure ain't got a clue. How bad this will go. Don't you know, know my art? (Art of war.) And as you look to the horizon, not a cloud. But then stormy weather's caught you cold. Seems like it crept up out of nowhere all around you. It's not quite what you foretold.?"

  At this point, the sound of the explosions grows even louder, and I start to sing the chorus of the song, "?You'll never see it ing. You'll see that my mind is too fast for eyes. You're done in. By the time it's hit you, your st surprise.?"

  The reason why I'm calmly singing Persona 5's theme, Last Surprise while some kind of attack that is causing panic all over the area is because this is all part of my pn and I'm simply waiting and hoping that my prey falls for it and reveals its presence.

  As the Firework Devil I captured and subjugated causes some death and mayhem, I tio sing, "?Ooh, ooh, ooh. Ooh, ooh, ooh. Ooh, ooh, ooh. Ooh, ooh, ooh. You think you got yame. Pnned out to a T. Yet I'm two steps ahead, yeah. So, you step into my way. Stand down, it's a trap. One more step and you're dead (yeah you're dead). Why just a picosed ago, clear blue skies? But now lightning's struck your st resolve. It's not an act that no one hears your cries. As your st strength seems to dissolve.?"

  Meanwhile, my mind wanders as I think back at everything I have experienced until now.

  It all started when I decided to terminate my own life after beirayed by the orusted the most and being uo ehe stant mog, bullying, and loneliness any longer, not even the small sanctuary in my home where I hid myself trying tet about my suffering by losing myself into tless fantastical stories and adventures was safe as the situation at home with that drunk abusive bastard of my father got worse and worse.

  Then I got the ce to live another life when I ironically became the Champion of the cept of Life and with that new ce at life, I also came to the firm resolution of doing everything possible even going through the worst hells to not bee a pathetic abused victim pushed on the brink like that ever again.

  When my time came to choose the new universe where I'd reinate, live my new life, grow stronger, prepare for the eventual frontation with the other Champions, and pletely shed the st vestiges of my weak self.

  In the end, I decided on one of the most brutal and unfiving Universes that I knew of and ohat would give me the ce to acquire limitless powers and abilities, the Terror Infinity Universe.

  Since I didn't want too much drama in my life, I decided to be reinated as an orphan and while at first life was hard, it was nothing pared with what I had already experienced before.

  I spent the first 12 years of my life doing everything possible to prepare for what was about to e, and when I thought I was ready, I forced myself to remember and relive everything that caused me to terminate my life to dition myself and make myself eligible for the summoning of the God's Dimension.

  It worked like a charm and sihen, I started to fad survive tless horrors to tio evolve by doing everything possible to stay alive.

  The first horror world that I faced was luckily one of the easiest ohe world of World War Z, sure those running zombies were crazy but at least you could kill them, and if one is smart or strong enough the ces of surviving are pretty high.

  In that horror world, I gained 1500 points and a k reward, unfortunately, I wasn't able to unlock my Geistrain, but still, I had quite the haul for a newbie and I used my rewards to exge for a Super Soldier Serum Enha for an overall improvement and some useful items that would help me survive in the mission.

  I spent the few years of my life risking my life and jumping from one horror world to ao accumute more points and rewards to exge for more powers, abilities, and items shedding away more and more parts of my pathetic weak self while unlog my geistraints.

  The big improvement that I exged from God's Dimension was what I sider one of the powers with the best potential possible, gaining the ability to bee a Persona User, someone who has the supernatural ability to summon their Persona, which is a maion of a Persona user's personality in the Persona series, referred to as a "mask" for an individual to use to face hardship.

  More specifically, I chose the Persona 5 iteration of a Persona User because I thought it was the most fitting for me and also for its peculiar abilities.

  The reason for that is that in Persona 5, Personas are formed by individuals who find themselves iaverse and are dealing with feelings of frustration of being wronged or taken advantage of.

  Should the person decide to rebel and take reveheir Shadow Self calls out to them, f a mask on their face, their eyes also turn yellow, indig their Shadow Selves are merging with their owners.

  Then ripping this mask from their faalizes their tract, causing the Shadow Self to turn into their Persona and take form but the process of tearing off one's mask is particurly painful, as it leads to excessive bleeding.

  Ohe tract has been formed, the person then receives a special thief suit that represents their idea of a rebel, and the mask bees a normal mask that they freely take off without pain and serves as the duit for their Persona abilities whicrease their physical aal abilities to superhuman levels.

  Then after a few successful but very dangerous missions I further improved my ability as Persona User by exging the Wild Card ability which allows the user to form a tract allowing oo access and summon multiple Personas and switch between them in battle, the ability to ge bonds intth, and the access to the Velvet Room which gave me quite a massive boost to my abilities.

  But even that wasn't enough yet to survive not only the horror worlds of God's Dimension that kept getting harder especially when it came to Team Battles but also to ensure my safety when I would faother Champion and because of that, I decided to abandon part of my humanity to enhance myself even more.

  But since I had to worry about things like a patibility issue with my previous enha and abilities, I decided to make use of something that inated from a universe very close to the Persona Universe, the Shin Megami Tensei Universe, to be more specific, I chose to exge a Magatama, a parasititity appearing in Shin Megami Tensei III: Noe, which funs as a bination of armor, on, and spellbook and once fused with a host it alters his or her body into that of a "demon" while also granting various powers and abilities the more one masters its use such as the use of various magics, masteries of physical attacks, but more importantly, resistances and immuo various elements and status ditions.

  But of course, a single Magatama is uo offer all those things to its host, in fact, the Magatama have a limited number of specific abilities that they grant to its host, and the only way to have more abilities is to fuse with anatama after pletely mastering the previous oil one reaches a total of 25 different Magatamas being a Chaos King, a being equal to Gods.

  And for sure fusing with a Magatama isn't pletely safe or without demerits as before one fully masters a Magatama will randomly curse the host with bad luck or even act up in the middle of a battle causing not so little trouble, but oher hand, the more Magatamas I master the closer I am in being an almost invincible Chaos King.

  At some point, the time for the first Random Battle came and I found myself fag my first Champion, and I was very disappointed with her.

  Helena Harrison, a very kind young woman who reinated in the Pokemon Universe and who simply wao peacefully enjoy her pathetic life and didn't care that by doing so she basically offered herself to the whims of whoever won this petition and became ruler of this Omniverse, something I won't ever allow to happen again as I promised myself that I would take my fate in my own hands no matter what means I use.

  I was very tempted to kill her and simply return bay home universe to focus on God's Dimension's mission and gathering more Magatamas, but then a brilliant idea came to my mind and I decided to turn Helena into an ally, but my kind of ally.

  So I excused myself and gave Helena an appoi for another meeting the day, and then, once I was away from her, I activated my Persona User's powers and opened a gate for the Metaverse and searched for Helena's "shadow" and then I worked to distort and corrupt her thoughts f a ive ge of Heart iurning the once kind woman in a ruthless executioner, of course, I also made sure that she was loyal to me to avoid plications and backstabbing sario.

  Then when I met her again we "officially" allied and she allowed me to meet her Pokemon, and without aation, I also did the same thing to them, after all, if I didn't do so it could have been possible for the Pokemon to use their bond with Helena to somewhat ge her heart back using some kind of bullshit power of friendship or something along those lines.

  After the Random Battle, we went our separate ways, Helena on the hunt for other Champions while I went bay home universe to face the horrors of God's Dimension and keep improving myself.

  Like that, another 3 years quickly passed and I mastered enough Magatamas to bee a Chaos Lord, just a step below the almost almighty Chaos King, and once again, I was forced to leave my home universe to take part in another Random Battle.

  This time, I nded in the saw Man Universe, a chaotic world full of Devils and Devil Hunters in stant flict.

  Devils are a race of supernatural entities appearing throughout the World, they are creatures that feed upon humanity's fears which means that the more feared something is by humanity as a whole the more powerful the devil born by that cept is.Meanwhile, Devil Hunters are individuals, human or otherwise, who, as the name would imply, have taken it upon themselves to fight against Devils whenever a threat reted to them should arise in the world.

  They tend to use tracts with Devils as a means of standing a bat against their monstrous oppos, giving them a massive advantage over standard w enfort whenever Devils appear.

  After arriving in this universe, I spent some time expl and learning more about this world while also hunting dowher Champion, but then, after a month or so of nothing but some random devil's attack here and there, I grew impatient and decided to do something to drive out the Champion, so I captured the Firework Devil and forced it to cause some chaos hoping that the Champion would make a move to stop it.

  Even the part where I'm calmly singing the Last Surprise in this park is part of my pn to flush out the Champion as it is a way to make myself as spicuous of a target as possible.

  While waiting for something to happen, I tio sing the chorus in the usual, "?You'll never see it ing. You'll see that my mind is too fast for eyes. You're done in. By the time it's hit you, your st surprise. I'm ing for you. My game's always so fast, so fine. You're spun in by the . You didn't catch it in time. Ooh, ooh, ooh. Ooh, ooh, ooh. Ooh, ooh, ooh. Ooh, ooh, ooh.?"

  But suddenly, I heard the sound of explosions in the distaurning into that of fighting, and with a quick look using a basic Shikigami that watg over the Firework Devil, I realized that the Devil Hunters arrived to take care of my new pet.

  Seeing that, I stop singing and after letting out a sigh, I mutter, "Another failure... Oh well, I'll tio try for another week or so, if the Champio fall for my trap, I'll stop pying this game and kill everything on this p. My Blessing was stuck at Lv. 1 for way too long, it's time to fix that."

  After ing to that decision, I give the Firework Devil the signal to retreat as I get up from the bend start to calmly walk away, but right at that moment, I sense something trying to look at my person from quite far away and not only that but I also sense some kind of spiritual energy trying to invade my mind luckily ohe Magatamas that I fully mastered gave me plete immunity to mind attacks so I don't have to worry about that.

  I quickly tracked down the spiritual energy to find out its sourd soon I found its location.

  I don't hesitate to activate my Persona User's power which quickly turns my attire into my special thief suit and with my enhanced physical abilities, I don't waste any time and run toward the source of this spiritual energy's location.

  In a few moments, I arrive on the rooftop of a nearby skyscraper and arrive just in time to see a beautiful young woman around my age with mid-length light-brown hair and brown eyes, wearing some fortable jeans and a white pullover as she finishes writing something on a worn bck diary.

  When she raises her head to look at me, I also notice that on her forehead there is a strange headpiece with a rge eye attached to it.

  Then the young woman smiles and with a calm tone she says, "It's over, Kang Yaling. I already wrote your name on the Death Note, you are destio die in a few seds from a bination of heart failure, colpsed lungs, internal bleeding of all majans, and multiple ruptured aneurysms causing brain heme. While I don't care about this cruel petition too much, I 't let a monster like you tio take part in it. Your Karma is one of the most ive I have ever seen in my life and I have been to the Akame ga Kill Universe..."

  Hearing that, I simply y arms and look at her and when more than a minute passes and nothing happens, the young woman looks at me in shock as she excims, "You are still alive! How is it possible!?"

  At this point, I smile and expin, "It's very simple, for one, I'm pletely immuo curses and other effects like that. But, the most important factor is that the Death Note works specifically only on "Humans" and I'm not a pathetic Human... not anymore!"

  After saying that, I don't give her any d quickly pull out my gun and shoot her in the head killing her in a single precise shot, and shortly after, I sense a weird energy e out of her body aer mine and immediately feel the level of my

  Blessing increasing, but instead of fog on what ged, I quickly pick up the Death Note and the strange headpiece from the Champion's corpse and go to recover my new pet before I enter my Soulboory and use the Unigate to return to my home universe where I tio enhance myself.
