Anissa flew at full speed toward the epicenter of the battle. 'I have a really bad feeling... I...'
At this moment, Anissa only had one thing on her mind, and that was to get to Allen's side to help him. She had left everything behind to accompany him, and it would be foolish for her not to be present in the most important battle he was going to have.
(Flashback)
Anissa was a pure Viltrumite who had decided to stay on Earth. But she wasn't going to leave the empire quietly, nor was she going to retract her decision, so she took the time to communicate with General Kregg.
The second-in-command of the Empire did not take this well and immediately exploded.
"Are you crazy?! Are you really going to dishonor two thousand years of faithful service?! You were a Viltrumite destined to go down in history as a pillar of the Empire during its worst times! Why? Why, Anissa?!"
Kregg couldn't believe such a tragedy. He had just recovered Nolan and now lost another elite Viltrumite. But more than anything, Anissa's reasons made no sense.
"Do you expect me to believe that something as absurd as love made you make this decision?"
She was one of the last female Viltrumites, and her race was on the brink of extinction.
"Calm down, General, believe it or not, that is my reason for doing it; I'm not going to leave the Empire with my head down like Nolan..."
"ANISAA! ... Are you aware of what you're doing?! Right now, we need our fellow countrymen more than ever..."
"Yes, I do, and my opinion won't change. I gave two thousand years to the Empire, and I never said I would abandon the purpose of ensuring the Viltrumites' existence. I just said that to achieve that goal, I will do it my way... and I will do it next to him..." Anissa smiled with a softness Kregg had never seen before hanging up the transmission. Anissa destroyed her transmitter, she would no longer use it.
"..." Kregg remained silent for a long while. Anissa's gaze said it all; this woman was no longer the same Anissa who had recently gone out to fulfill her mission.
'What kind of human managed to do this in such a short time?'
Kregg began to sweat. Two thousand years of killings hadn't softened Anissa's heart, but meeting this human had. They were facing an enemy that was more than just powerful. Kregg's only consolation was that there were only two Viltrumites women left, so even in the worst case, the damage wouldn't be too great.
(End of Flashback)
Anissa felt anxious as she flew. She was scared of what might happen, nervous about not being able to get there in time. How long had it been since she had cared for someone like this? No, had she ever cared for anyone like this?
The relationships between Viltrumites before the virus were harsh, often involving violence, and only the best partners were sought to produce offspring. That's why parent-child relationships were so superficial that they even killed each other. The same thing Nolan almost did to Invincible when he was disappointed with him.
Anissa couldn't remember anyone she had seen die who made her feel the slightest pain. At this point, she doubted if she was ever truly alive before, or if she was just a beast. However, that was no longer the case. Over a month of living in this world made her feel like she was truly living, even if her main goal hadn't been fulfilled, which was to have Allen's children.
The meals are surrounded by people...
The petty arguments like over dirty clothes...
The mundane problems like shopping at a store and watching Eve and Amanda argue about which flavor of ice cream to get...
Just sitting and chatting with Allen about insignificant things...
'Too comfortable... too warm...' Anissa knew that if Allen died, all of that would end. She gritted her teeth as she remembered his face and his smile. 'More than anything, you can't die!'
Could the destroyed and tormented civilizations by the Viltrumite Empire understand that the kryptonite of Viltrumites was something as simple as that?
Anissa arrived at the battlefield only to see Markus being hit into space. The shockwave wasn't as destructive as if only the minimum remnant had been released, yet it reached the entire planet.
'Huh?' Anissa, stunned, looked toward space before chasing Allen, but she couldn't process what she had just seen. When she reached space, she could only see a brief moment of the battle before it moved toward the sun at a speed she couldn't reach.
'Damn it... I am weak?! I am so weak that I cannot help you?!'
[Anissa, you have been approved...]
While Anissa was lamenting, she heard the voice of the system telling her that she had been approved to access the spectator interface.
'Who are you?! How were you able to...' Anissa wasn't in the mood to deal with anyone.
[If you want to see Allen, just listen to me...]
"..."
Anissa fell silent, and after hearing the explanation, she opened the interface. After all, she came from a technologically advanced civilization, so she had no problem understanding how to use it. Anissa finally understood why it seemed like Allen sometimes got lost in his thoughts.
[Anisaa, I must monitor those around Allen until I know their true intentions... Honestly, I never trusted you until now. The feelings you had for Allen were too fast, so much so that I couldn't avoid suspicion... But now, seeing you willing to fight by his side, Anissa, I can trust you...]
'Thanks, I guess, but who are you?'
[There will come a time when you will know~]
The mysterious woman's voice disappeared from Anissa's mind, but her attention immediately returned to the ongoing battle...
"Allen..." Anissa touched the screen with Allen's image on it. She furrowed her brows at the opponent he was facing, as his outfit seemed similar to that worn by the Viltrumites. "Why?"
...
....
...
With the use of the Ultra Ego, the climax of the battle was reached!
For an instant, space compressed unnaturally; for an instant, the flow of time was altered; for an instant, Allen's sudden surge in power caught Markus, and even the world itself, off guard.
"U...gh!"
Feeling his face being shattered by that blow and being helpless, Markus felt a sensation he hadn't felt in a long time. It was feeling from before he was Emperor, when he was still Mark when he still called himself [INVINCIBLE].
"What's happening?!"
Allen mocked and struck Markus again, this time in the temple, making his right eye bleed and almost pop out of its socket. The force of each blow was so devastating that Markus could die at any moment, but as expected, the world wouldn't let him die. It covered him with a shield to minimize the damage and allow him to recover.
"It won't work!"
Allen smiled and attacked Markus savagely, using punches so fast that it seemed his fist was splitting into hundreds and thousands.
'What's happening?... Am I being hit?... I can't see his punches... but I know I'm being destroyed... my body is turning into minced meat... it's impossible... he's gotten way too strong!'
Allen's eyes were filled with concentrated power, his hair purple, his body even more robust than before, and surrounded by an aura of destruction mixed with a chaotic glow.
...
– It's the Ultra Ego!
– But how?! When?!
– Allen said a grumpy god taught him.
– But unlike Ultra Instinct, which is an innate technique of angels... the Ultra Ego was created by *****
– Beerus-sama shouldn't know about ***** yet.
– So Allen lied and learned it on his own?
Gwen – I don't understand... but it's a relief that Allen is gaining the upper hand now.
MJ – This must have some explanation, but what's most important is that Allen wins this fight.
Diana – Allen will win!
Annie – I'm a bit surprised, but I'm glad Allen is okay!
Thor – Damn it!
Tony – My money!
Hulk – Hahaha!
Mantis – No!!!
Rukia – Out of nowhere, I really want to hit people from other worlds...
Unohana – Ara Ara~ I didn't think anyone would be so heartless as to GAMBLE with my husband's life... right?~
Tony – No, no, no, of course not, I wouldn't dare!
Thor – It's true! We wouldn't do something like that!
Yoruichi – It's suspicious...
Asia – Excuse me... can someone explain to me what's going on?
Akeno – It's true, I'm happy that Allen is okay, but what happened to him?
Angelica (Gilgamesh) – This king is also interested in knowing what's happening with Allen, and I hope it's not dangerous...
The Emperor – An increase in power so immense and immediate... if it were anyone else, I'd believe they sacrificed their life and soul for this power.
Whis – Hohoho... I see the animated comments... I can answer your questions. Allen-kun trained once with Beerus-sama, he can be capricious and childish at times, but he was diligent in teaching Allen. However, due to his physical limitations and Ki level at that time, he couldn't use this new technique... that's right, it's not a power but a technique...
Beerus – Reading your comments, as expected, this technique is something that was created in the future that many of you know about from our world, right?
There was silence in the Chat, and everyone remembered when Urahara fell into madness and despair; no one answered; of course, the system would block them even if they tried to reply.
Whis – Don't worry, I don't want to know either~
People tried to be careful with those viewers from worlds that others considered to be fictional stories.
But many were eager to know what Ultra Ego was, as some mentioned it with excitement and madness.
Everyone should know the legendary story of Dragon Ball and the eternal rivalry between two characters, Goku and Vegeta, which began in Dragon Ball Z. Vegeta is the prince of the Saiyans, a man who appeared as a villain, someone who fought against Goku, who was considered a low-class warrior from birth.
When Vegeta was defeated, his pride never allowed him to forget that humiliation. However, he had to admit that Goku, whom he called Kakarot, was stronger.
Vegeta was always chasing after Goku...
Goku managed to become a Super Saiyan... Vegeta achieved it after him... Goku's son, Gohan, achieved Super Saiyan 2 before Vegeta, and years later, Vegeta reached Phase 2, but by that time, Goku had already reached Phase three.
When Beerus appeared, it was Goku who first reached the god phase, but even though for a while they had similar power with Super Saiyan Blue... Goku awakened Ultra Instinct...
Everyone should know the mythical transformation of Son Goku, even those who don't like anime should have seen that Goku with white hair and an almost divine glow. This technique is called Ultra Instinct... Vegeta always seemed to be behind Goku... achieving transformations that Son Goku achieved first... However, at that moment, Vegeta decided to follow a different path. This was because, due to his pride as the Saiyan prince, Ultra Instinct was not suited for him, so he created his own path with a different technique, almost the opposite as if declaring that he wouldn't always be behind Kakarot!
That was the Ultra Ego!
...
"Oh come on, that's not all you have, right?!" Allen taunted, stopping his punches.
"A... hh... a"
Markus was unrecognizable, his body shattered, all his bones broken, a pile of flesh that it was a miracle he was still alive. However, at that moment in an absurd way, his body began to regenerate.
"Ahh! damn monster!"
"Hey, no need to be so rude," Allen smiled and attacked him once more, but this time Markus regained mobility in one arm and didn't let Allen hit him back, returning a desperate punch.
Markus' punch was slow and weak, sure, it could pulverize an entire galaxy, but it was still weak compared to Allen's current power. Still, to everyone's surprise, including Markus himself, his fist reached Allen, hitting his chest and creating a shockwave through the void.
"...?!" Markus didn't understand why Allen had done that, it was clear he could dodge that attack but didn't.
Allen smiled wildly at Markus, a drop of blood falling from his mouth. "Don't worry, it was on purpose."
Markus received a blow that shattered his teeth. 'What?... Did he get stronger?'
Markus couldn't believe Allen's already monstrous power had grown even more. It made no sense in his eyes. Markus felt something he thought he had forgotten, that feeling he left behind a long time ago...
The world, sensing Markus' imminent death, redoubled its efforts and restored Markus' body almost instantly. Markus still didn't realize that he was a pawn in the will of the world. He joined his hands to form a mass and strike Allen.
"Ah!" Markus' scream was full of rage but filled with "that" feeling.
Markus' hammer blow hit Allen's head, but Allen just smiled before returning the punch to Markus, piercing his chest in the process.
"It's... impossible... you got stronger..."
Allen just snorted and prepared to decapitate Markus, but at that moment, a supermassive asteroid appeared in front of them, heading straight for Allen.
"I see, so now you're trying these tricks?!" Allen threw Markus toward the asteroid, bigger than Earth, and with a clenched fist, launched himself toward both, hitting the asteroid into pieces as Markus flew through space.
"Ahhh!"
The Emperor of the Universe screamed before the hole in his chest regenerated and he attacked Allen again with more force, but Allen smiled and opened his arms. Markus was too stressed and started punching Allen without realizing the grave mistake he was making.
Allen remained still as his body was bombarded by hundreds of punches from the strongest Viltrumite, The Viltrumite Emperor, The Emperor of the Universe.
"Wow, you're really putting in the effort..."
Allen spoke with disdain and amusement before effortlessly stopping Markus' fists and proceeding to rip them off.
"Huh?"
"Don't you understand? The more damage I take, the stronger I become..."
Markus' face turned pale, cursing his own stupidity. There was a reason Allen hadn't dodged his attacks, each blow from the Emperor was strengthening him. Markus looked at his own arms... he had crossed dimensions and left his perfect Empire, only to be mutilated by a human... no, Markus had heard many titles for Allen, but due to the shock of Allen's power, he hadn't paid much attention...
"Emperor of Mankind and God of Destruction..."
Markus fell silent, then felt all his rage flood his body. His arms regenerated and he attacked Allen without thinking.
"I won't fall without a fight, Human!!!"
At first, Allen looked at him confused, but since that was his wish, Allen went along with it, hitting him with the same intensity and savagery.
Fist after fist...
Blow after blow...
The universe trembled from the final clash of two monsters...
Slowly, the chat fell silent as everyone could hear and feel the vibrations of the battle across the universe.
Time passed... and what seemed like an eternal battle... stopped... there was only one winner...
Allen remained with a calm gaze as before him there was a scarlet mist... no trace of the Emperor of Viltrum...
Emperor Markus, formerly known as Invincible, and the will of the world itself had fallen. The Chat was still in disbelief at what they had seen.
"You did well, Mark..."
After those brief words of respect for his opponent and his willingness not to run away even though he knew the outcome, Allen kept silent.
Starfire – Would it be inappropriate to ask Allen why he doesn't have eyebrows?
Allen came out of his minute of silence and started trembling, he had won, but at what cost?
Allen took a mirror from his inventory and, with a trembling hand, looked at his face.
"Ah!" Allen covered his forehead, slightly swollen from the Ultra Ego transformation. "Ah, my eyebrows! Seriously, did you have to mention that? Ah, now what do I do? They'll grow back, right?!"
The chat exploded in laughter automatically as Allen began to twist, the Ultra Ego was a powerful technique to the point of being disgusting, but it required a great sacrifice. Allen had the forehead of a caveman and no eyebrows, making him lose some of his handsomeness.
"Ah! Damn it! My beautiful eyebrows!"
[Hahaha, look at the bright side, at least you're not bald…]
Allen froze and remembered that he still had his limiter unlocked. With one weakened hand, he grabbed his own hair and easily pulled out a lock of it.

"It's a lie... I-I'll be a bald guy with no eyebrows..."

A/N: Great power requires great sacrifice 🤣
