Allen used the system to see what had happened on Earth. It was simply ridiculous that, of all the possible moments, of all the hours of the day, Anissa arrived on Earth right when he was on Talescria.
It was a scam, a blatant trick, an impossible coincidence, a stupid ridiculousness—how did the stars align to make this coincidence possible?!
'No!'
Allen's right eyelid trembled with anger; he knew well what had happened because this had happened before. Some time ago, while he trying to take a "shower" with Kate, the shampoo bottle randomly broke. Allen used "Repair," no doubt, and forgot about it.
They both continued until Kate and her second clone complained that the water was cold. Allen hadn't noticed due to his natural resistance to such things, but still, Allen heated the water directly so they wouldn't be interrupted.
There was also the time a couple of months ago when he took Amanda shopping for some teenage girl clothes after she had spent so long using little girl clothes, and a supervillain with fire powers attacked and set the place on fire. It was incredibly specific, as it only attacked the clothing stores under the excuse that it was revenge for all the sheep that were stripped of their wool or something strange like that.
Allen beat him up, threw him into the street for the police, put out the fire, and seeing Amanda's sad look, he had no choice but to repair the store so they could continue shopping. The manager was so grateful that he didn't charge for the clothes. Allen raised an eyebrow with disdain; the guy acted like he was giving them a gift, but without Allen, the whole store would have been rubble. However, he didn't say anything so as not to ruin Amanda's day anymore.
It's true, these "coincidences" have happened throughout his time in this world. But at this point, Allen no longer believes in blatant coincidences.
How petty must the will of the world be to try to interfere with his actions in such a ridiculous way? No, perhaps it's precisely done this way, so he wouldn't realize.
In any case, now that this was clear in Allen's mind, the absurd timing of Anissa's arrival on Earth made sense.
...
Rick – You know, that shit, the power of the script, the will of the world, or some god who knew you shouldn't be here started messing with you Burp.
Artemis – Isn't it too petty to get mad at a 'mortal' for something like this?
Annie – That's true...
Natasha – Irrational, why didn't he get upset with the Flaxians, who are from another dimension, or Angstrom Levy, who interferes with different worlds?
MJ – Both are things that had to happen in the story, so maybe it's not that he's bothered by Allen's existence, but that he's bothered by how he's altering the story...
Raven – If that's the case... wouldn't it be better to attack him directly instead of these little nuisances that he can resolve in an instant?
The Emperor – I have a theory... that the world doesn't care too much if there are visitors from another world. The problem is if they're too powerful and capable of altering the balance and stability of the whole world...
Angelica (Gilgamesh) – What nonsense...so, if Allen is weak, the world doesn't care, and only when he's strong does it care. But by then, it's too late to deal with him... it's like a paradox of incompetence...
...
"Is the sky of this world naturally red, or is it sunset?" Allen murmured. His mood had dropped, and all he could do was watch the sky of Talescria, knowing that he still had two Viltrumites in front of him, making him feel even worse.
"Human, what are you doing? Fight!" Thula was angry and wanted to attack, but Lucan placed his hand on her shoulder to stop her.
"Lucan?!"
"Calm down, I'm just curious to know what happened to make this kid depressed..." Lucan squinted his eyes, "Even with your power, is there something that affects you?"
"Even with my power? Since when does power have anything to do with mood?" Allen scoffed, "It's your companion, Anissa, she just arrived on Earth..."
Both Viltrumites slightly showed their surprise. The Earth mission was something crucial for the survival of the Viltrumite race, which is why it was entrusted to Nolan. However, no one expected this result.
"Lucan, what do we do?"
Thula knew that if Anissa was sent, maybe the Regent still wanted to try to make Earth surrender on its own.
"I don't know, but this situation is clear—only one side will leave alive..."
At the response Thula already expected, she smiled. Living thousands of years as a Viltrumite meant that after all that time of submitting and conquering worlds, nothing and no one had killed her. So now, facing death's door, it was something new and, at the same time, interesting.
Allen had a different look as he observed his opponents. He created a sphere; this time, it wasn't fire; it was the Hakai, showing his intention to continue. But at the same time, he could feel Eve and Amanda's pendants activate several times. This was common, considering both girls were facing Anissa, whose strength even exceeded that of a regular Viltrumite. Not to mention, neither of the two nor even Invincible could face her at the moment.
Allen had to return...
With that in mind, the sphere disappeared. If Allen used the Hakai, both Viltrumites would die, but the problem was that it wasn't a particularly fast technique. Judging by the pale faces of Thula and Lucan, they immediately understood that they couldn't let the Hakai hit them at any cost.
"Girls, I leave them to you..."
Behind Allen, a door appeared, and he jumped backward...
Thula immediately realized that Allen wasn't escaping, but rather returning to where Anissa was. But before she could act, a shadow appeared over her.
"Stop looking at him, YOU SLUT!"
Albedo, using her giant black battle axe, struck Thula, who used her arms to defend herself. The force of the impact pushed Thula, shattering the ground beneath her feet.
"Ugh! Who are you?!"
"Bitch, I've wanted to do this ever since I saw how you were eyeing my beloved master!"
Albedo's strength increased as Thula felt confused. It wasn't that she didn't find Allen attractive, but the danger surrounding him made her instincts focus solely on fighting or dying.
"You're crazy!" Thula pushed Albedo back.
"Ah! YES, I AM! A vixen like you doesn't know the kind of supreme existence MY MASTER is! A PIG like you doesn't have the right to lick the soles of his shoes! NO! That's a reward!"
She spread her wings and charged again, striking Thula repeatedly, who was stunned by the intense bloodlust and twisted obsession in front of her.
"Crazy b*tch!"
Thula pushed the axe aside with one hand and clenched her other fist to punch Albedo, but she disappeared. She reappeared above Thula, her axe turning into a black mass as it struck her on the head. Albedo was now also wearing her black armor.
"DIE!" Albedo attacked once more.
"Ah!" Thula countered by striking Albedo but was surprised to find that her fists, while capable of breaking diamonds with ease, could not break the armor with a single blow. She, frustrated, grabbed the handle of the giant axe and ripped it from Albedo's grasp.
"You're unpleasant, you have a defense that could be compared to a Viltrumite's, but you don't have enough strength."
After finishing her words, Thula felt dizzy, and a drop of blood fell from her head.
"Ara Ara~ did you say something, old woman?" Albedo mocked mercilessly. She held out her hand and the battle axe disappeared from Thula's hand and reappeared in her hands. As if that wasn't humiliation enough, Albedo pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the handle where Thula had touched it.
"You!" Thula felt furious. For a Viltrumite, all creatures and beings in the universe were nothing but worms crawling in front of them. They were born and died while they made their way around a galaxy. Their words of hatred, their cries of vengeance, and their attempts to resist never affected them because Viltrumites never considered them equals. Yet at this moment, Thula felt offended.
She felt rage toward the crazy woman with a pretty face and mortal body. She felt irritated at being called old. She felt disgusted by Albedo's voice. She wanted to kill her, no, she wanted to destroy Albedo's beauty. She would tear out those amber eyes, rip out her long obsidian hair, and burn her skin, white as moonlight.
Thula would drag her in front of Allen so her master could see her as a monster, and then kill her, "I'm going to ruin that face before!!—"
Thula couldn't finish her sentence when she received a kick to the face from a military boot. At the same time, she felt her organs freeze. The Viltrumite was knocked to the ground and rolled over, breaking the ground in her path before stopping.
"Don't interfere!" Albedo got upset at the unexpected interruption.
Thula shook her head, feeling as though her brain had frozen for a moment. When she looked up, she saw Albedo speaking to another woman—this one just as breathtakingly beautiful as Albedo, with sky-blue hair and eyes that stole the breath away.
"Don't be foolish…" Esdeath adjusted her hair with an air of elegance. "That old hag gave Allen trouble. There's no way she's easy to defeat…"
"Trouble? Allen-sama was just holding back~. There's no way that old cow gave him any real problems," Albedo smiled with a terrifying glint in her eyes. "And for your information, even if I were deformed, my master would still love me! ❤️~ His love knows no limits! 🖤"
Thula's eyes widened. It was the first time in thousands of years that she felt chills because of another woman. "You're insane…"
"Don't worry…" Esdeath's voice drew Thula's attention. Her cold gaze and calm yet threatening tone made it clear she wasn't joking. "Even we know she's crazy…"
...
"…!"
Thula tilted her head on instinct as the tip of a blade shot past, narrowly missing her right eye.
"You dodged it? It's a pity... I wanted to offer your head to my master so that he could praise it and maybe he would pamper me."
Despite her words, Esdeath didn't look surprised. It made sense; Thula had survived a battle against her master, after all.
"Another lunatic…"
"How rude." Esdeath's face softened, and she blushed slightly. "Fine, I'll admit my heart beats wildly for him too, but it's far purer than the winged vixen's."
"Are you implying that my love is dirty?!" Albedo landed heavily beside Esdeath.
"I'm not arguing with a lunatic who steals Allen's clothes…"
"I didn't steal them! I washed them and put them back where they belong…"
"Three days after taking them…"
"Tsk."
Thula found herself being ignored, which made her furious. If they underestimated her, they would meet a miserable end.
"You…!" Thula wanted to threaten but was interrupted once again. Chains shot out from the ground, binding Thula tightly. "What?!"
"Well, you're certainly getting careless…"
Makima appeared beside Thula, leaving the Viltrumite stunned. For someone with Thula's instincts, it was rare to be taken by surprise, yet there she was—trapped by a stunning redhead in a business suit with a chilling gaze.
"I've had enough!"
Thula broke free of the chains and lunged at Makima, but more chains appeared, wrapping around her and dragging her underground. Furious, Thula tore free and exploded back to the surface, destroying everything in her path.
...
(Second Battlefield)
Lucan stood face-to-face with a beautiful, white-haired woman in a maid's outfit. The sight humiliated him—had his opponent left a servant to fight him?
That thought didn't last long. The moment 2B's katana sliced his near-impenetrable skin, Lucan realized he had miscalculated. He had monstrous reflexes and terrifying speed, yet he could barely track her attacks.
Lucan stopped dodging, allowing 2B to land several cuts in exchange for an opening to counterattack.
"Take one step back to seize a mile!"
As a Viltrumite, it had been a long time since Lucan had needed to retreat. But no matter—his opponent had shown strength worthy of recognition, and he acknowledged that before preparing to kill her.
However, just as he struck, a sword appeared in front of his fist, blocking the blow.
"Huh?" Lucan blinked in surprise. A golden-haired woman clad in armor had stopped his punch.
"Who are you?"
"I am the sword of the man who allowed you to live, Lucan the Viltrumite."
Lucan's eyes narrowed. 2B was strong, but she hadn't given him the same sense of danger as this new opponent.
'She's like that man…'
Lucan prepared to fight for his life once more. Artoria's expression remained calm. Despite their reputation as ruthless conquerors, some Viltrumites had a sliver of honor as warriors, and she respected that.
"I am Artoria Pendragon, sword and knight of my master… the Emperor of Humanity."
"…!" Lucan's eyes widened, and then he grinned. "So that kid… your lord… he really is something special. Emperor, huh? Yeah… he has that potential. Now I regret even more not finishing our fight with him..."
"I'm sorry..."
"Don't worry. You're worthy enough." Lucan smiled savagely and launched an attack at Artoria. She met his punch with her sword, their clash sending out a massive shockwave.
...
(Earth)
Anissa had felt a bit of satisfaction after knocking Invincible around. Eve had tried to help him but couldn't.
'This woman is terrifying… with my current strength, I'd be dead if not for the pendant…'
Amanda scowled in frustration. 'Tsk. I've landed several hits, but I don't think I'm even hurting her. What's her body made of?'
Anissa walked across the wreckage-strewn street, arms crossed, sneering. "Is that all you've got, girls? All you know how to do is insult people? For your information, I came here with peaceful intentions, but I've changed my mind!"
Eve and Amanda's expressions shifted, and both girls suddenly smiled. Anissa didn't notice. Nor did she notice the man walking up behind her.
"I'll conquer this world myself, and there's nothing you can do to stop me!"
Anissa's voice was triumphant. She might not have been able to hurt those irritating girls, but she could still make them suffer by conquering their world. It was a perfect way to vent her frustration.
"It's not very polite to conquer other people's worlds…"
"…!!!" Anissa froze. That voice… how had she not noticed someone standing right behind her? She turned and found herself face-to-face with Allen.
"A..." For a moment, Anissa was too stunned to react.
"I'm not really one to enjoy using my fists against women," Allen said with a smirk—and then kicked her in the stomach.
"Urgh!" Anissa flew backward, crashing through several buildings on her way out of the city. She passed over roads and a valley before crashing into a mountain and shattering it. It was an undeniably powerful kick.
"Now that's satisfying~," Allen said with a smirk, leaving everyone speechless.
People often wondered what was worse for Allen's enemies; when he fought seriously or when he acted like a complete son of a bitch.
Allen lowered his leg and spread his arms, just in time for two girls to leap into them. Realizing what they'd done, Eve and Amanda blushed in embarrassment.
"Let go of me," Eve grumbled, aware that many people were watching; both in this world and others.
"Allen~," Amanda, on the other hand, didn't care and snuggled closer.
Allen held them tightly. "What a nice welcome gift~."
At that moment, a hand emerged from a nearby sewer. It wasn't a zombie; it was Invincible.
Allen blinked. "Have you considered changing your name… at least temporarily?"
Mark, covered in dirty water and reeking, dropped to his knees, looking like he was about to cry. Allen's smirk faded as he saw Anissa returning, flying in from behind Invincible.
To protect him, Allen used his telekinesis to throw him back into the sewer.
'Not again!'
Eve and Amanda tried to pull away, but Allen held them tighter, his hands sliding down their backs.
"A-Allen?!~"
"Sweetie?!~"
Allen created an electromagnetic barrier to block Anissa's attack, then laughed. "Sorry, I'm stressed~."
Anissa was stunned. Was this human flirting with two girls while she was attacking him? His arrogance, overwhelming power, and audacity…
Anissa's eyes turned to hearts. "He's perfect!~"
Invincible climbed out of the sewer just in time to see this and immediately threw up.
"Oh, come on! You've got to be kidding me!"
===
A/N: Don't worry Mark I understand, sometimes even I am disgusted by how much of a motherfucker Allen can be. 🍷🗿
