Exploring the next few portals, all I found was wastelands or swamps. The second to last world I ran into some weird looking squidmen that looked like miniature Cthulhus. Stumbling back out of that portal, I destroyed it in anger because one of them tried to probe me. Wiping the blue color blood off my armor, I complained to myself about how disgusting that last world was.
'If I was able too, I'd fucking destroy that fucking universe!!', I thought burning the rag, 'I am the only one that does the probing, and that's reserved for my wives!!'
Taking a second to calm down, I looked at the time to see that the market would be closing in about an hour. I wanted to be back in time to celebrate with my family as they had worked their asses off to make things a success. Approaching the last portal, I cracked my neck and stepped through. Instead of walking into a wasteland or an enslaved world, I found myself in literal Armageddon. Looking up into the sky, mining ships were laying waste to the surrounding area as they stripped the world of it's resources.
"Welp...I found Zod.", I mumbled looking up at the Kryptonian ships, "Looks like the Wraiths and Empire are here too. Can't I catch a break? I have to be home in an hour, and I have to deal with this shit. Why the hell can't it be just a little easier."
Shaking my head in frustration, I used my mini map to load in the world. Unlike the other worlds, I was only able to load a small piece of the map for some reason. Upgrading my skill in the system I managed to full load the map. As I was looking at the various population hotspots, one of the cities caught my attention.
"Muno City...isn't that...isn't that from Death March!? Wait, is Satou here?", I shouted looking for him on the map.
Sure enough he was in Muno City with his group, and they were in the middle of fighting. Alongside him, was someone named Maple who sounded vaguely familiar. Racking my brain for a moment trying to place the name with a face or series, I couldn't remember anything specific.
'Is she one of the many women he attracted? I feel like I am forgetting something.', I thought.
Seeing that the defenders were doing their best to hold out against the combined onslaught of three different foes, I knew I needed to help. Pulling Stormbreaker out of storage, I was really looking forward to this fight. Fighting a Kryptonian toe to toe was going to really test myself, and in the event I did get injured...Sayo, Yuko, and Shizuka could patch me up.
"Oh!!! The Elves can dress up as nurses too!!", I shouted before calming myself, "Time to kick some ass!"
Flying through the air towards them, the sky started to crackle as lightning started to build in the atmosphere. Drawing closer to the city, I saw that the City Core was about to give up the ghost under the onslaught. Seeing Satou kill dozens of the Wraith and Stormtroopers, it was clear there was just too many of them. He couldn't use his Meteor Strike skill either because he'd completely destroy the city and kill everyone in it.
"Stop this useless resistance, you are only prolonging the inevitable. All you are doing is drawing out your suffering, be good dogs and lay down to die.", Zod told them, "I will make your death a little less painless if you do."
"Master, what do we do?!", Tama panicked with exhaustion.
"Yeah, we can't keep fighting. My hands are numb and I can hardly keep my eyes open.", Pochi said trying to force back a yawn.
"If you don't think you can keep going, go back in and rest.", Satou told them, "Everything is going to be okay."
"I can keep going!", Maple assured him.
Even though Satou said that, I could tell he knew they were in a bind. If it were just his group, he could teleport away, but there were just too many people for him to teleport away. Continuing to fight back, Maple, Satou, and the few mages still able to stand stood their ground.
"Have it your way, don't say I didn't show you mercy!", Zod stated getting ready to shatter the barrier with his next punch.
Seeing that, I summoned down the lightning that had been building up and dropped it on the enemy. Sensing the impending attack, the Kryptonians got out of the way but didn't bother helping their comrades. In an instant the majority of the invaders were reduced to little more than burn marks on the ground. Looking up towards me, Zod glared at me like I was a nuisance.
"Who the hell are you!?", Zod shouted in anger, "Cowards like you make me sick!! A real warrior wouldn't use cheap tactics like that!!"
Dropping down to the ground in my Doomslayer armor, I pointed Stormbreaker at him. Staring him down myself, I made my intentions clear.
"Listen buddy, I got less than an hour to get back home to celebrate with my family. You either get the fuck off the damn planet, or I will make this your fucking grave.", I told him.
Answering my threat with a punch to the chest, I could tell he was trying to put a hole through me. Tanking the blow, I looked him dead in the eye really pissed off now. Even though it didn't seriously injure me, I did feel that. Looking back at me, all he saw was two red eyes staring him down. Going to back away, grabbed his left arm and used Stormbreaker to cut it off. Screaming in pain as he stumbled backwards, I tossed the arm to the side and swung the hammer side of Stormbreaker upwards.
Hitting him square in the chin, Zod went flying through the air for nearly half a mile before crashing to the ground. Turning around, several of his troops were already moving to catch me. Effortlessly dodging their attacks, I decided to see if the pressure points they had were the same as humans. Surprisingly my finger jabs easily pierced their armor and went right through their telekinetic shielding. Hitting critical points on their bodies, I waited to see what would happen.
It only took a few moments for the reaction to happen. The effect was even more gruesome than on humans. Apparently the pressure points caused their powers to go out of whack as several of the troops lost control, and vaporized themselves with their own electromagnetic energy. Watching other's psychic powers go crazy, their bodies tried to contain the swelling that started to occur. Continuing to expand while trapped in their own fields, they popped like gorey water balloons the second they died.
'Fuck...I didn't think it be this effective.', I thought looking back at Zod.
Helping him to his feet, his lover Faora stared at me with excitement. Knowing full well she was a psychopathic, cold blooded killer there was only one thing going through her mind at the moment...fighting me to the death.
"Damn it!", he spat, "Order the ships to destroy the planet!!"
"Sir, we need the resources though.", Faora reminded him
"I don't care, he is too much of a liability!", Zod ordered, "All ships I want you too-"
Popping my helmet off, I shook my head at him. Raising my right hand up, I positioned my fingers for a snap. Sensing that something was
"Last chance, stand down or face oblivion.", I told them, "I will turn your army into dust."
"You don't have that power!", he refuted.
"You aren't immune to magic Zod. Care to find out how powerful my magic is?", I remarked, "You decide how this ends."
Watching his eyes light up red, he tried using his heat vision on me. The moment it hit me, I could feel it start to burn my skin.
"<
Immediately maxing out the skills, the burning stopped as my body became immune to his attack. Watching my skin heal itself in moments, Zod stopped attacking and looked at me in shock.
"You...you are like Doomsday!!", he spat backing away, "You are a monster!!"
"Haha, I am far worse than Doomsday.", I replied in a cold, "This is the end Zod."
Snapping my fingers, the ships in orbit vanished as all of them were sent to oblivion. Thinking I was playing tricks with him, he tried calling out over his communicator to the ships but only heard dead air. After a few moments, he realized I had really done it without batting an eye.
"Several billion lives just ended because you couldn't walk away.", I said starting to spin Stormbreaker in my hand, "You are coming back with me, I have a lot of questions you are going to answer one way or another. In fact, I don't even need you alive if I am honest. Dead men can't lie after all, they are incapable of it!"
Launching myself forwards towards him, he did something very out of character for him. Instead of trying to fight me head on, he threw Faora in front of himself like a shield. Looking equally as shocked as me, Faora looked back at him and looked at him like a traitor. Adjusting me angle so I didn't obliterate her, I felt her armor cave in and bones break has the hammer side hit her square in the chest. Sending her flying through the barrier around the city, she skipped across the ground for several miles before stopping.
Turning back towards Zod, he told me I would pay for this as he retreated through a portal. Calling him a two-faced coward before the portal closed, I said that he wasn't a man at all for using his lover as a shield. Hearing Midna start shouting from my shadow, I was confused why she was saying something all of a sudden.
"That son of bitch, he is a fucking bastard!! How dare that yellow livered coward do that too her!!", Midna shouted floating around me.
"You normally don't insult the enemy, what was your issue with him?", I asked.
"He threw a pregnant woman in front of himself just to escape!!", Midna spat in anger, "Why the hell wouldn't I be upset about that!?"
"Why the hell didn't you tell me that sooner!?", I shouted at her, "That's something important you should tell me!!"
"I thought you knew, and that's why you changed changed your swing!", she replied.
"No, I changed it because she would have exploded if I hit her without the adjustment!", I groaned, "Damn it all...I am not having the death of a pregnant woman on my hands. I don't give shit how crummy she is, that baby didn't do anything wrong!"
Teleporting over to her, she was in a really bad way from the impact. Being hit by Stormbreaker, a magical weapon, with strength equal to a Kryptonian...I was surprised she was still breathing after that hit. Pulling her armor of in a hurry, she glared at me like I was some sort of shitty bandit.
"Glare at me all you want lady, I am trying to save your kid!!", I told her using magic to repair her ribs and lungs.
"Why...do you...care...", she wheezed, "We...were going to...kill everyone...in the...city."
"Just because you husband and yourself are scumbags doesn't mean this child is!", I remarked trying to stabilize her, "I am not going to be responsible for killing a baby! You dying isn't any skin off my nose, just the child is someone I don't want dying."
Looking at me to see if I was serious, she started laughing at me and calling me a soft hearted fool. Telling her to kiss my ass, I promised she would be interrogated for every piece of information she had. Saying that if it weren't for the child, I would have finished the job with her immediately. Getting her stable, I slapped Red Solar Radiation cuffs on her to ensure she wouldn't be an issue. Wrapping her in a cloak, she stared at me out of annoyance and anger.
"You think saving me, and putting a cloak on me will make me talk!?", she spat, "How stupid are you people!?"
"No, I just really don't want to see your saggy ass breasts and neither do they!", I retorted, "Shut the hell up, and follow me!"
Staring at me in shock, she looked at me in utter disbelief like I hadn't just said that. Zapping her with lightning, she quickly followed after me to avoid a second shock. Staring at the back of my head as we walked, she was trying to comprehended what I had said.
'Did he just insinuate I was an old woman!?', she thought, 'I am only in my mid-forties!! This ape has the audacity to insult me!! Just wait until I snap his neck!!'
Walking into the city, people stared at Faora like she was an animal. Sensing her killing intent, I made her walk in front of me so I could keep her in line. When I finally got to Satou, he looked at my armor like he recognized it.
"You aren't from around here, are you?", he laughed.
"Nope, you could say I am a Universe Jumper.", I chuckled shaking hands with him, "You did well standing up to this lot."
"Hehe, thank you!", Maple giggled with a smile, "Do you have any food...maybe sweets even?"
Chuckling at that, I told her I had some. Handing her a honeybun, she snatched it out of my hand in less than a second. Munching on it like a hamster she did her best to savor the food. Sensing more killing intent coming from Faora, I gave her another zap to keep her in line.
"So what brings you here friend?", Satou asked me ignoring Faora's bloodlust.
"I came here because I heard your world was being invaded. Hoped I might be able to help, but it seems you all have already taken quite a beating.", I stated looking at the survivors.
"Yeah, they kind of just showed up unannounced so there wasn't a lot of prepping we could do.", Satou admitted, "There should be other places with survivors, if you can I'd like too-"
"I already know, I got rid of her comrades so I can evacuate you all now. It's going to be impossible to rebuild after all the damage they have caused.", I said glancing at Faora.
"I figured as much.", he sighed.
"If you have so much power, why not fix it yourself?", Faora mocked me.
"Bringing people back to life means they will remember what you fuckers did. Also, when the hell did this become your conversation? Shut up before I shove a sock in your mouth.", I told her.
"You are too kind to do-", she started to say trying to call my bluff.
Jamming a literal sock in her mouth, she quickly realized that it was unwashed and hurriedly tried to spit it out. Looking at her then at me, Satou just smiled and tried not to laugh. Offering to help me get the people back to somewhere safe, I accepted his help and started taking people to my world.
