Chapter 57 - Chapter 57: Humanity's Last Hope

"Hello everyone, good morning, afternoon, or evening. I apologize, but keeping up with the time in this....place is more difficult than I thought. All of you have a lot of questions, am I correct? To how all this went from a slice of life with a bit of action flick storyline.... to a terrible, terrible dark fantasy. Even for me, it honestly took my complete surprise of the sudden shift in the mood of the story."

[>>>>>>>>>>]

"I honestly expected my dear Zenkichi, different as he may be, to suddenly get involved in the matter of the afterlife but it seems FATE," She paused for a moment, heavily insinuating on that particular word. "had different plans for him. Moreover, I hadn't expected those ultimates, a side project that I tossed aside would become this problematic. Though, to be fair, I threw that project to the side mainly because the Ultimates are inferior to Abnormals and Minuses in the short term. In the long term however, they're stronger as their skills and abilities stick to them for life."

[>>>>>>>>>>>>]

"Ah, I apologize for that little rant I had about a failed potential that was let go because of some short-sightedness. My, are you shocked that I, the great Anshin'in, would have made a mistake and even acknowledged it humbly? Oh honey, I wouldn't be here in the first place if I had the three Omni skills of that God."

[>>>>>>Bzzt]

[....Are you going to go on or not? Because if you won't, I will gladly gag your mouth with someone's sock.]

Najimi Ajimu frowned, a look of disgust appeared on her face as her eyes turned icy cold. "Try that shit and I wouldn't hesitate to break these chains and rip you apart limb by limb, or data by data. I might be just a remnant will, but if I burn all my energy it would be enough to Now, where was I?"

[>>>>>>>>>>>>]

"Yes, the sudden shift in the story. The truth is, that person(author) wanted to explore more of the darker aspects of human nature, the depths of despair and the fragility of life. As well as how one can easily break the balance of a world full of skill users, superpowered beings, and some so-called magic users. It may seem out of place at first, but trust me when I say that it will all make sense in due time. And who knows, maybe a glimmer of hope will shine through all this darkness."

[>>>>>>>>>>>>]

She giggled, rattling the golden chains that bound her like some sort of cocoon. As she calmed down however, her eyes looked blank, reflecting the dark space she was trapped in where time had no meaning. "But enough about that, I'm sure you all want to see more of how this boy's journey goes on and how it ends."

[....This can be all over if you can just tell us where you hid your main body.]

"I don't know what you're talking about?" Najimi tilted her head with an innocent expression.

[Your punishment will be a thousand years of watching the entire Barney series, repeatedly. Without blinking or accessing any of your skills

"...." Her mouth quickly shut, her displaying a rarely seen emotion.

Fear. Terror.

Even on her worst enemies she wouldn't wish such a punishment. "I'll talk! I'll talk, just please don't do that to me!"

[.....]

"Now, let's get back on track, shall we?" Najimi cleared her throat, regaining her composure. "As for Zenkichi's journey, it will take unexpected twists and turns, and I assure you all that it won't be easy for him. But one thing is for sure, he won't give up without a fight. And who knows, maybe he'll learn a thing or two about himself and the world around him."

[>>>>>>>>>>>>]

"As for me, well, I'll just be here, waiting for my next appearance." She smiled enigmatically, her eyes gleaming with anticipation. "After all, I am the One and Only Ajimu Najimi, Anshin'in, the One who Holds 12,858,051,967,633,865 skills, the Goddess of Medaka Box. And I assure you all, there's always more surprises up my sleeve."

[>>>>>>>>>>>>]

With that, Najimi disappeared into the darkness, leaving behind only the echoes of her laughter and the sound of chains rattling. The future of the story was uncertain, but one thing was for sure: nothing would ever be the same again.

[...Tch. This is why I dislike dealing with Meta creatures, always so pretentious and arrogant.]

And with that, the transmission ended, leaving the listeners to ponder on the words and implications of the enigmatic Najimi Ajimu.

.....

Back in the real world with Zenkichi.

"What....the hell, is that?!" He stared at the gigantic black pillar that pierced the sky in complete horror, feeling a primal fear appearing in his heart. Out of all the bullshit he had seen, this tops it all.

As if that wasn't bad enough, dozens of red demonic eyes began to pop open across the pillar. Increasing the fear that Zenkichi was feeling.

'W-Why does it look...so familiar?!'

And to add to it all, was the gigantic mecha Monokumas wrecking havoc around it. Earth-shaking explosions continuously resounded from the capital city, flames spread out wildly like the end of the world was near.

As if the heavens had closed all doors for this world, multiple black lines appeared all across the skies like some cuts into reality. Suddenly, it then opens up like some mouth of a monster, letting out an ear piercing screech, revealing gigantic yellow eyes as it spilled black substance into the burning city.

Invisible to all but a quite few, for Zenkichi especially, were large monsters with white masks spilling out together with the black substance.

The situation turned completely shit.

"Zenkichi, what's—what the fuck is that?!" Naze got curious and followed behind him but as she saw the disaster happening at the center of the city, she couldn't help but exclaimed in shock and horror.

Naze's words snapped Zenkichi out of his trance, and immediately shoved the former back into the bedroom and locking the door behind him.

"Ow! What the fuck was that for?!" She said, rubbing her butt in pain but Zenkichi ignored her.

'Ryota's video isn't enough, I was too naive. When I got Quincy skills, I knew that this world wasn't ordinary. If Soul Society exists, then what about organizations of other anime or manga series? Some powerful and evil secret organization, waiting in the shadows for an opportunity to throw this world into chaos. Junko and her cronies had been the spark of it all.'

Zenkichi knew he had to do something. He couldn't stand there and watch as innocent people and his loved ones suffered and died. He gritted his teeth and took a deep breath, there was no more hesitation.

They needed a miracle, and he was going to get it.

[Lucky Devil: Valkyrie, that deal of ours? Can you summon me to your world now and fight for your humanity's survival?]

[Valkyrie of the Human Record: ....What's with the sudden change of thought? Are you that itchy on getting a fight with a God?]

[Lucky Devil: Gods, Immortals, Demons. I'd take on anything if it means I can get some hope for everyone.]

[Valkyrie of the Human Record: ?! 😕]

[Lucky Devil: Something happened to my world....it is at the level of human extinction and something promised me a miracle if I can enter your tournament and win against a God.]

[Valkyrie of the Human Record: The latest match had just ended. I'm summoning you now so you can be fully prepared.]

There was no hesitation on her part. Because out of everyone Zenkichi knew, Brunhilde could relate to the sentiment of saving humanity.

[Starting Grand Summoning....]

A bright blue glow soon lit up under Zenkichi's feet, a magical circle with a large tree, a long snake coiled around its balk, and numerous golden apples appeared, blinding everyone in the room.

"Ack!"

"What the–?!"

Both Ryota and Naze couldn't react as the bright light engulfed their vision, and time began to halt.

[Quest: Humanity's Last Hope, has been initiated.]

[Connecting to the Akashic Records' Servers....Transporting user, Zenkichi Hitoyoshi, to the record "Ragnarok"]

[Bzzt! Record "Medaka Box" has been called for a temporary halt in progression, anomalous errors has been found. The Reset protocol will be initiated if maintenance does not begin in 24 hours.]
