Karito Pov
I find myself caught in an unrelenting vortex of misfortune. The fortunate intervention of my gamer system averted my descent into the abyss of darkness, sparing me from the horrors that would have consumed me. Yet, the echoes of that nightmarish place persist, haunting my very being. Tremors of terror still course through my trembling frame, but now, amidst the chaos, I must suppress the encroaching despair and fixate on one paramount objective: survival.
Empowered by the resurgence of my abilities and attaining the esteemed rank of Prestige Monarch, my potential has soared to unimaginable heights, amplified a hundredfold. The magnitude of this augmentation catches me off guard, but I am compelled to set aside this revelation for the time being. The disruption of the teleportation sequence has catapulted me into an enigmatic realm within the tapestry of Fiction, its precise location eluding me in this disorienting expanse. A plethora of radiant spheres, reminiscent of multiverses, encircle me, each representing a distinct reality. Determining my current whereabouts demands my immediate attention, yet before I can investigate further, my instincts abruptly alert me to an imminent threat.
A laser-like beam of luminosity hurtles towards me, a razor's edge slicing through the air. Swiftly evading its lethal trajectory, my heightened senses, honed through countless trials, allow me to dodge the deadly onslaught.
(Dark Julius Novachrono) "Wow! They weren't joking when they said you could react to light-speed attacks!"
(Spider-Man) Toxin envelops him "Please tell me you're the only one here for now."
(Dark Julius Novachrono) "Nope! Other verses are gunning at you. I suggest running, you really don't want the smoke the SCP Verse wants with you."
(Spider-Man) "Fucking hell."
(Toxin) "Why is our life so hard?"
(Dark Julius Novachrono) "Because you're a Spider-Man. Ahaha!"
In an instant, Julius's words hang in the air, soon eclipsed by the cacophony of warning signals reverberating within me. My senses, honed through countless trials, ignite in a frenzy of heightened awareness as I instinctively evade an oncoming projectile hurtling towards me at an incomprehensible velocity. The figure abruptly halts, a perverse smile stretching across their countenance, and at that moment, my gaze falls upon the abhorrent visage of Superman Who Laughs. A surge of trepidation courses through my veins as I grapple with the realization that my path is now entwined with this malevolent being.
As though summoned by the forces of the encroaching darkness that nearly consumed me, ominous portals rupture into existence, unleashing an assemblage of characters from disparate realms. They encircle me, a motley congregation of twisted incarnations, each bearing the distorted semblance of familiarity. This is the price I must pay for my brush with the abyss—an unyielding spotlight cast upon my whereabouts. The urgency to sever this connection, to thwart the omnipresent gaze of the maleficent forces, becomes an unrelenting imperative.
In the midst of this silent confrontation, a palpable tension saturates the air. Depraved versions of once-heroic figures fixate their gaze upon me, their predatory intent shimmering beneath their hollow stares. Time itself appears to stall as we engage in an unspoken contest of wills. However, the silence is shattered by the resonant voice of a deity—a God of War, no less—whose words will inevitably shape the course of this twisted encounter.
(Dark Kratos) "Capture him."
As the malevolent horde of monstrous creatures, accompanied by their formidable leaders, closed in on me with relentless determination, my instincts kicked into overdrive. With an effortless flourish of my arcane prowess, a shimmering portal materialized beneath my feet, whisking me away to an enigmatic corner of the vast tapestry of fiction. The destination, unknown and uncharted, offered temporary respite from the clutches of my pursuers.
Yet, I am keenly aware that my evasion is merely a momentary reprieve, a mere interlude in this treacherous symphony. The essence of Darkness that taints my very being acts as a beacon, drawing the attention of my relentless adversaries. Until I confront and vanquish this malefic force within, my chances of true escape remain as elusive as a wispy shadow.
For now, I find myself entangled in an intricate game of cat and mouse, a harrowing spectacle where I am the solitary mouse, hounded by a veritable legion of feral felines. Their primal instinct to capture and subdue mirrors my own dire predicament, each maneuver I make scrutinized and countered with calculated ferocity.
As I navigate this perilous dance, I am acutely aware that the stakes are immeasurable. It is not merely my freedom that hangs in the balance, but the very essence of my being. With unwavering resolve, I must seek out the means to purge the encroaching darkness that threatens to consume me, for it is only by severing this sinister bond that I can hope to elude the relentless pursuit that doggedly shadows my every step.
In this treacherous game, where the odds seem insurmountable, I shall muster every ounce of my intellect, cunning, and fortitude. A lone mouse amidst a teeming swarm of relentless cats, I shall defy the odds, outmaneuvering, outsmarting, and ultimately reclaiming my fate from the clutches of this relentless pursuit. For in the face of overwhelming adversity, the most formidable triumphs are born, and I am determined to be the orchestrator of my own salvation.
(Spider-Man) "System, where am I?!"
"You're in IO, Destiny 2."
(Spider-Man) "Oh fucking great." Sees a Dark portal in the sky "Shit! They are already here?! Fuck!" Starts running away
(Dark Superman Who Laughs) "Remember, only 5 of us maximum can enter fictional tales. We don't want to cause another existential collapse! If you capture him, bring him in! If not take him outside of this story, our forces can corner him there!" Looks towards the patiently waiting Darks "Reinhard van Astrea, Cyborg 009, Deku, Arthur Leywin, and Akira Fudo! Go after him!
No Pov
As the quintet of adversaries nodded in silent accord, their gazes resolute, they leaped with unwavering determination into the swirling vortex, plunging headlong into the tumultuous pursuit of the agile web-slinger. Cyborg 009, his cybernetic enhancements affording him unparalleled swiftness, surged forward with uncanny velocity, rapidly closing the gap between himself and the elusive Spider-Man. Meanwhile, the remaining four combatants dispersed, each veering toward a distinct vector, intent on launching surprise assaults against the hero, capitalizing on his distraction.
With unerring precision, Cyborg 009 honed in on his quarry, unleashing a relentless barrage from his formidable supergun. Yet, the arachnid champion's preternatural reflexes and extraordinary acrobatics proved equal to the task, his lithe form contorting and evading the onslaught of projectiles. Alas, the cyborg's reflexes were honed to a razor's edge, surpassing even the hero's own swift agility. In a ferocious display of might, he lunged at his foe, propelling them both earthward in a cataclysmic collision.
The impact reverberated through the rocky terrain, their bodies skipping across the unforgiving surface like pebbles on a stormy sea. Blow after bone-shattering blow rained down, a storm of violence echoing amidst the tumultuous clash. Yet, even as the clash of titans intensified, Spider-Man, his resolve unwavering, unleashed a dazzling surge of bio-electricity, a luminous surge that propelled the cyborg backward, staggering him in a maelstrom of crackling energy.
Seizing the fleeting opportunity, the arachnid hero vaulted into action, his lithe form propelled upward in a blinding ascent. His fist, a manifest embodiment of unwavering determination, surged upward in a triumphant uppercut, lifting the cyborg from the earth, the very fabric of their surroundings quaking beneath the force of impact. With a visceral twist of motion, Spider-Man seized hold of his foe's cybernetic appendage, his grip unyielding as he slammed the cyborg's visage into the unforgiving ground, the earth recoiling at the onslaught.
Yet, the relentless cyborg, 009, defied defeat, responding with a lightning-quick counter, a precise axe kick surging toward his opponent. Displaying the full extent of his prodigious speed, he swiftly regained his footing, capitalizing on his momentary advantage. His fists became a blur of unrelenting pummels, a cyclonic assault raining upon the hero's visage. Blow after blistering blow, each strike encircling with inexorable force.
Yet, in a testament to his unyielding resolve, Spider-Man intercepted one of the cyborg's punches, his skills of hacking coming into play. With cybernetic precision, he initiated a cascading series of digital incursions, rendering the cyborg's internal systems into a state of disarray. The once indomitable machine began to falter, its functionality crumbling under the weight of the arachnid hero's decisive strike.
In a culmination of the arduous battle, Spider-Man unleashed a piercing strike, his stinger puncturing the cyborg's visage with devastating precision. The cybernetic assailant, his functions reduced to a mere semblance of their former glory, succumbed to the hero's unyielding onslaught, a fallen warrior in the face of an indomitable force.
(Dark Deku) "HOW DARE YOU!? 100% Fa Jin! 100% DETROIT SMASH!"
(Spider-Man) "Venom punch!"
The clash of titans unleashed an eruption of cataclysmic power, an explosive force that reverberated through the very fabric of IO's planetary atmosphere. The heavens themselves seemed to tremble as Deku, propelled by the full might of his augmented abilities, careened uncontrollably into the unyielding embrace of a formidable mountain. Meanwhile, Spider-Man, his trajectory guided by the chaotic symphony of their clash, hurtled through a relentless storm of boulders, each impact a testament to the tremendous forces at play. The arachnid hero, swallowed by the depths of his kinetic journey, descended through layers of earth, cascading through floors and descending deep into the cavernous depths of a subterranean cave.
Emerging from the chaotic descent, the hero's resilient form rose from the debris, his visage partially unveiled, blood intermingling with the dust of battle as he expelled it from his mouth. The regenerative properties of his symbiotic ally, Toxin, hastened the healing process, mending the wounds and fortifying his resolve. But the respite was not to be granted, for his keen spider-sense alerted him to the impending danger lurking just behind him. Reacting with unerring instinct, he swiftly ducked, narrowly evading the devastating horizontal strike unleashed by Akira in his fearsome Devilman incarnation. The sheer force of the blow rents the very fabric of the cave, shattering its walls and inviting the piercing light of the outside world to penetrate the newfound chasm.
Though the hero's evasion had thwarted Devilman's initial assault, Spider-Man, ever resourceful, struck back with a calculated act of subversion. His leg, propelled by a combination of skill and audacity, found its mark with a precision kick to the vulnerable region of his adversary's anatomy, eliciting a visceral cry of anguish. However, the respite proved fleeting as Devilman, consumed by a raging fury, retaliated with a forceful strike that sent the arachnid hero hurtling, crashing into an unforgiving wall. Disoriented, Spider-Man frantically surveyed his surroundings, his senses ablaze with the imminent threat that loomed unseen.
In a fleeting instant, Devilman vanished from the hero's line of sight, his supernatural abilities granting him ethereal swiftness. Spider-Man, gripped by a desperate sense of urgency, sought to anticipate the impending assault. Yet, his spider-sense, a sentinel of warning, alerted him to the approaching danger, but evasive action proved futile. Devilman, his fist magnified to monstrous proportions, hurtled toward the hero with blinding speed, his colossal strike carrying the momentum of an unstoppable tempest. With little recourse, the arachnid champion braced himself, summoning his every ounce of resolve to meet the colossal force head-on.
The resulting collision defied description, an impact akin to a cataclysmic force unleashed by an otherworldly entity wielding a mountain as its macabre cudgel. Spider-Man, propelled by the overwhelming force, plowed through the unyielding walls of the cave like an unstoppable juggernaut, each successive crash rending the earth asunder. It was a relentless symphony of destruction, a relentless procession of collisions that ceased only when the hero emerged, battered and broken, alongside the precipice of a towering mountain, his descent coming to a tumultuous end within the icy depths of a tranquil lake.
Spider-Man, a paragon of agility and acrobatics, defied the laws of nature as he effortlessly strode upon the water's surface, utilizing his mastery of the "Fishing Spider's Hair" technique. The tranquil expanse beneath his feet belied the impending storm of chaos that loomed on the horizon. His spider-sense, a primal sentinel attuned to the dangers that surrounded him, reverberated through his consciousness, its urgent warning a constant companion.
Yet, this time, the web-slinger harbored a measure of calm amidst the turmoil. As if anticipating the imminent threat, he swiftly turned his attention towards Vex, their relentless onslaught heralded by a hailstorm of projectiles. With unrivaled dexterity, Spider-Man engaged them head-on, utilizing his prodigious hacking skills to incapacitate his mechanical adversaries. The Vex convulsed in spasmodic agony, their digital essence crumbling beneath the onslaught of his technological prowess.
However, victory proved fleeting, for in the aftermath of the Vex's demise, his senses once again surged with imminent danger. Reacting with almost preternatural grace, the hero deftly evaded an aerial assault, an ethereal slash cutting through the air with lethal intent. The hero's gaze shifted, weary yet resolute, only to find Reinhard standing before him, an enigmatic smile playing upon his features.
(Dark Reinhard) "You... actually dodged that? That shouldn't be possible."
(Spider-Man) "Impossible doesn't exist in my dictionary."
(Dark Reinhard) "This should be very interesting."
As the tension reached its apex, the battlefield became the stage for an ominous convergence of powerful beings. Deku, suspended in mid-air beside Reinhard, cast a determined gaze at Spider-Man. A chilling realization washed over the web-slinger as Devilman materialized, aligning himself with his dark compatriots. A threefold alliance against a lone hero, an overwhelming odds that threatened to extinguish even the faintest glimmer of hope.
Spider-Man, burdened by the weight of impending combat, released an audible sigh that echoed through the battlefield. His heart raced with the knowledge that the stakes were higher than ever before. Survival hinged upon his ability to unleash a veritable storm of strength and agility, fighting with a fervor that defied the confines of time itself.
Without a moment's hesitation, the trio engaged in a cataclysmic clash, their combined might shaking the very foundations of their surroundings. The world of IO trembled under the strain as if bearing witness to the sheer force unleashed by their relentless confrontation. The heroes and the hero-turned-dark entity engaged in a symphony of collisions, their movements akin to celestial bodies colliding in the depths of the cosmos.
Devilman's punch converged with Spider-Man's own strike, an explosive collision of power and will. In a display of unparalleled reflexes, the web-slinger caught Reinhard's sword, thwarting its intended trajectory toward his vulnerable core. But the onslaught was not yet over, for Deku soared into the fray, unleashing a Delaware Smash with a resounding impact. Spider-Man, ever resourceful, retaliated with his Mega Venom Blast, an explosive burst that could rival the fury of a Tsar Bomba.
The resulting detonation sent shockwaves rippling through the battlefield, propelling each combatant away from the epicenter of the blast. Spider-Man, employing his lateral repulsion, seized the opportunity to grapple Deku's face, unleashing a point-blank venom blast that propelled the young hero toward Devilman. As the dust settled, Reinhard swiftly recovered, launching himself at blinding speed, aiming to bring the web-slinger to his knees.
Yet, in the midst of their fierce struggle, time seemed to halt. Arthur, driven by an indomitable will, approached the frozen tableau. The Spider's inexplicable ability to bypass Reinhard's formidable defenses left the Guardian in awe. A profound sense of urgency gripped Arthur's heart as he recognized the need to bring this battle to a swift conclusion before it spiraled further into chaos.
(Dark Reinhard) Wiping his nosebleed, "I can't understand how he's defying my abilities, but let's finish him, Arthur."
(Dark Arthur) "Agreed."
(Dark Reinhard) "Where did the other two end up?"
(Dark Arthur) "They were thrown four miles away. They should be making their way here."
(Dark Deku) Landing beside Arthur, "Seems like you activated your beast will."
(Dark Devilman) Landing beside Reinhard, "You could have done that earlier. This guy is fucking resilient."
(Dark Arthur) "009 rushed in and paid the price. I was analyzing him. He seems to passively ignore Reinhard's abilities."
(Dark Deku) "I still can't comprehend it. Reinhard has abilities like 'Initiative' and 'Proceeding Attack Immunity,' but this Guardian is unaffected by them. It's like he's saying 'fuck you.'"
(Dark Arthur) "Well, he's about to be captured. Injure him severely, but don't kill him."
(Dark Reinhard) "Understood." Walks towards the frozen Spider-Man, knowing his symbiote will heal him regardless, "It won't matter if I do this."
Reinhard raised his sword, its radiant glow illuminating the battlefield. With a swift and determined motion, he aimed to impale the hero's face. However, what unfolded next left all four combatants astounded. The hero began to glitch as if trapped within a malfunctioning game. Bizarre static cubes materialized around him, distorting his form. In a surreal twist, just as Reinhard's sword was about to strike, the hero's face turned sideways, causing the blade to pierce his cheeks instead. The sword plunged into the hero's mouth from the side, eliciting a primal growl that sent shivers down Reinhard's spine. To his astonishment, Spider-Man was moving within halted time. The arachnid hero possessed an unexpected level of power, surpassing all expectations.
[System Notification]
[Skill Effect Activated]

Effect: Successful hacking of Arthur Leywin's Beast Will ability has been achieved. Stopped time functionality has been nullified. The player now has the ability to move in stopped time.
(Spider-Man) "That fucking hurt..."
(Dark Reinhard) "Ah, shi-"
In the blink of an eye, Spider-Man's audacious move caught Reinhard off guard, his sword trapped within the hero's unyielding bite. Amidst the chaos, a symbiotic tendril struck with such unfathomable speed that even Deku's danger sense and Reinhard's precognition failed to register the impending attack. The Spider's arm vanished, only to reappear instantaneously, impaling Reinhard's chest in a shocking display of raw power.
Arthur, Devilman, and Deku stood frozen, their wide eyes struggling to comprehend the swift brutality that unfolded before them. Spider-Man's symbiote dangled their comrade's heart, a macabre symbol of the arachnid hero's dominance. The trio braced themselves to retaliate, their fury mounting, but Spider-Man, fueled by an intense scream of exertion, launched himself at his adversaries, unleashing an explosive force that shook the very ground beneath them, registering as a 5.8 magnitude earthquake.
Now airborne, the four combatants engaged in a relentless aerial assault. Sonic booms reverberated through the atmosphere as they ascended into orbit, their clashes creating sonic booms in their wake. Eventually, their violent collision shattered the surface of a moon orbiting Jupiter, scattering each fighter across its desolate terrain.
Spider-Man found himself submerged in the moon's frigid ocean, his furious state dissipating as he regained his composure. Embracing his arachnid abilities, he swam towards the breach he had created, marveling at the vast expanse of ice, spanning an astonishing 10 to 15 miles. Contemplating the tremendous speed required to shatter such a formidable obstacle, the hero's senses reawakened as he ventured back onto the moon's surface, surveying his unfamiliar surroundings with a sense of intrigue.
(Spider-Man) "System, give me details on where I crashed..."
[System Information]
Location: Europa
Surface: Europa's surface features youthful water ice crisscrossed by reddish-brown cracks. Mysterious salts and sulfur compounds mixed with the ice give rise to its unique composition. Long fractures and ridges span thousands of kilometers, while chaotic terrains hint at collapsed regions above hidden lakes within the ice.
Atmosphere: Europa possesses a tenuous oxygen atmosphere. Evidence suggests active water venting and the presence of water vapor plumes, potentially linked to a geologically active moon with an ocean.
Magnetosphere: Galileo's measurements revealed disruptions in Jupiter's magnetic field around Europa, indicating the presence of an electrically conductive fluid layer beneath the surface. This finding strongly supports the existence of a global ocean of salty water, marking the most compelling evidence for Europa's oceanic nature.
(Spider-Man) "Great, I'm in Europa." Spider-Sense "SHIT!" Symbiote shield
With lightning reflexes, Spider-Man summoned a vibrant red symbiotic shield to intercept Devilman's devastating punch. Yet, the sheer power behind the blow proved greater than anticipated, propelling the hero through the air. He hurtled uncontrollably, breaking through layers of ice that clung to his back with each bone-rattling impact. Finally halting his bulldozing trajectory, he rose to his feet, eyes locked in a fierce glare aimed at his adversary, the embodiment of unwavering determination.
Spider-Man and Devilman surged toward each other with unparalleled swiftness, their movements a blur of precision and agility. Devilman launched a vicious slash, aimed to rend the hero, but Spider-Man deftly intercepted it with his stinger, their clash resonating in a resounding shockwave. Engaged in a seamless dance of combat, their blows rained upon one another, each strike slicing through the very foundation beneath their feet.
In a swift display of acrobatics, Devilman executed a spinning maneuver, unleashing a forceful downward slash. However, Spider-Man's heightened senses alerted him to the impending attack, enabling him to gracefully sidestep, causing Devilman's strike to shatter the entire icy floor, revealing the unfathomable depths of the hidden ocean below Europa's surface. Harnessing his bioelectricity, the hero propelled himself with unparalleled speed, delivering a punishing knee strike upon Devilman, propelling him backward in a whirlwind of rotations.
Swift to regain his footing, Devilman dug his nails into the ice, propelling himself towards Spider-Man with undeterred determination. Yet, as the web-slinger prepared to evade, an enigmatic force inexplicably hindered his movements, causing him to be struck squarely across the face. The impact propelled him with great force, hurtling him into a towering mountain sculpted from solid ice, leaving a trail of shattered fragments in his wake.
(Spider-Man) "Nghh... Ouch..."
(Dark Devilman) "Thanks, Deku."
(Dark Deku) "Gear shift is pretty useful."
(Dark Devilman) "Didn't you need to touch him to use it?"
(Dark Deku) "I did, earlier. I can just activate it whenever."
(Dark Devilman) "Hopefully he doesn't find a way to break the laws of inertia as well."
(Dark Deku) "It feels like you just jinxed us."
(Spider-Man) Turns off invisibility "You're goddamn right, I did."
With unparalleled agility, Deku twirled around, utilizing his black whip to gain momentum. Meanwhile, Devilman prepared to unleash a devastating point-blank energy blast upon the hero. Sensing the imminent danger, Spider-Man engaged Deku's gear shift, manipulating its properties of Inertia to his advantage. Instead of deceleration, he harnessed its power to accelerate himself, as if existing in a realm of heightened speed.
In a breathtaking display of reflexes, Spider-Man seized Deku's black whip, swiftly pulling him toward the path of Devilman's imminent energy blast. Harnessing the restored speed of his normal state, Deku's eyes widened in disbelief as he was engulfed and obliterated by the destructive force of his own comrade's attack. The blast's magnitude surpassed that of Europa itself, narrowly avoiding catastrophic consequences had it been directed toward the moon.
Overwhelmed by remorse and horror at his unintended act, Devilman unleashed an anguished scream, fueling his rage as he bulldozed toward the arachnid hero. However, his movements seemed futile, as an intricate network of bio-electric webs ensnared his legs, inflicting excruciating electrocution upon him. Writhing in agony, Devilman's attempts to heal were thwarted as Spider-Man's stinger, infused with hacking abilities, sliced through his body, severing his healing factor.
The Devil's eyes widened in a final moment of realization as his body split in two, tumbling to the ground.
(Spider-Man) Utters a weary sigh. "This prestigious ascension is proving to be quite advantageous." Spider senses tingle, alerting him to an imminent attack. Swiftly, he raises his guard, expertly intercepting Arthur's vertical slash.
(Dark Arthur) Emits a growl of anguish. "You've taken the lives of all my comrades!"
(Spider-Man) Responds with a hint of nonchalance. "Consider it a favor to the tales of fiction."
(Dark Arthur) Spews venomous fury. "Damn, you! I'll ensure your demise!"
(Spider-Man) Retaliates with a cutting remark. "Oh, really? And how will you achieve that when you couldn't even save your own family in your own dimension?"
(Dark Arthur) Halts abruptly, visibly shaken. "W-What? H-How do you know...!?"
With keen perception, Spider-Man detected Arthur's momentary pause and swiftly deflected his sword, redirecting the trajectory of the deadly blade. Capitalizing on the opening, he unleashed a venom-infused punch, its impact resonating with a distinct crack as it connected with Arthur's chin. The force of the blow fractured the knight's shin, momentarily crippling him.
Undeterred by the injury, Arthur harnessed the power of wind magic to swiftly regain his balance, demonstrating his unwavering resolve. A gaze filled with seething animosity locked between the two combatants, setting the stage for an intense clash of wills.
(Spider-Man) "Tell me, Arthur! How do you plan on exacting vengeance for your fallen comrades when you proved powerless to protect your own loved one from those assailants?"
(Dark Arthur) Silent, his face contorted with pain and anger.
(Spider-Man) "Open up, Gray. I merely glimpsed into your mind, utilizing my hacking prowess. Now, I must ask: what were the last words of your dear little sister?" His voice lowers, filled with an unsettling intensity.
Arthur Leywin stood on the precipice of his inner power, a reservoir of untapped potential waiting to be unleashed. The air crackled with energy as his eyes flickered with determination. Deep within him, a primal force stirred, resonating with his every fiber.
As Arthur closed his eyes, his body trembled with anticipation. He delved into the depths of his being, channeling his willpower to access the immense power lying dormant within him. Slowly, his muscles bulged, veins pulsating with raw energy, and an ethereal aura began to envelop his form.
With a surge of power, Arthur's body underwent a remarkable transformation. His once human-like features contorted, replaced by a more primal and fierce countenance. His eyes glowed with an otherworldly light, radiating an aura of unparalleled strength.
In this Phase 3 Beast Will state, Arthur stood tall, a force to be reckoned with. The very essence of his being exuded a fearsome aura as if he had tapped into the very essence of his inner beast. With newfound power coursing through his veins, he was ready to face any challenge that dared to cross his path.
(Spider-Man) "Interesting, your transformed state bears a more primal resemblance. A true beast. It's very different than your original one."
(Dark Arthur) "I shall tear apart your very being, piece by piece."
(Spider-Man) "Such threats don't faze me anymore. I've faced worse. You'll need to bring your A-game."
(Dark Arthur) "Hmph! God Step..."
Arthur Leywin's body surged with power as he activated his enhanced ability, God Step. Aetheric energy enveloped him, creating ethereal channels that resembled wormholes. With a deep understanding of Spatium, the edict of space aether arts, Arthur almost instantaneously traversed to a predetermined location. As he moved, purple lightning-like tendrils of Aether crackled around him, a testament to his mastery of God Step. This newfound prowess was a result of his training with his mentor, Three-steps of The Shadow Claw, within the sacred relic tombs.
(Spider-Man) "!!!"
With astounding swiftness, Arthur brought his blazing sword crashing down toward Spider-Man. In that fleeting moment, he believed victory was within his grasp. Yet, he failed to fathom the extent of the arachnid hero's precognitive spider sense. In a brief glimpse of the future, Spider-Man foresaw his own dismemberment at Arthur's hands. Emerging from this vision, the hero's resolve hardened. He clenched his teeth and exerted every ounce of his being, evading the seemingly instantaneous strike. However, his left arm bore the brunt of the attack, torn asunder as Arthur's sword collided with the ground, igniting an explosion of cataclysmic proportions that rivaled a supervolcano.
Unyielding, Spider-Man maintained his stance, aided by the symbiotic entity Toxin, who swiftly regenerated his lost limb. Testing his revitalized appendage, the hero refrained from further assessment, for the relentless advance of Arthur demanded his undivided attention. Employing his accelerated decoy, Spider-Man employed illusory tactics to confound the Knight. Yet, Arthur's perceptive instincts alerted him to the ruse as he detected the hero's hand transforming into a formidable hammer. Arthur hastily sought an escape, but his efforts were in vain. Propelled by the pulsating energy of bio-electricity, Spider-Man delivered a devastating blow, hurtling Arthur's entire body into the ground. The sheer impact birthed colossal ice formations akin to mountains, plunging both combatants into the depths of Europa's unforgiving oceans.
As Spider-Man and Arthur descended into the murky depths of Europa's ocean, their battle took on a new arena. The swirling currents and the weight of the water amplified their every movement, lending an ethereal quality to the clash.
Arthur, in his formidable Phase 3 form, unleashed the power of his enhanced Beast Will. Waves of Aether surged through his body, imbuing him with unparalleled strength and agility. He lunged toward Spider-Man with blinding speed, his sword gleaming ominously with an otherworldly aura.
Spider-Man, undeterred by the oppressive aquatic environment, relied on his heightened reflexes and acrobatic finesse. He weaved through the water with grace, his spider sense guiding his every evasion. As Arthur's blade cleaved through the watery depths, Spider-Man deftly dodged, narrowly evading each devastating strike.
The hero retaliated with his own barrage of attacks, exploiting the fluid nature of his surroundings. His fists and feet became blurs of motion, delivering precision strikes that reverberated with the force of an underwater tempest. The clash of their blows sent shockwaves through the ocean, disturbing its serene depths.
Arthur, fueled by a relentless determination, utilized his Spatium-based Aether arts with masterful precision. He manipulated the channels resembling wormholes, exploiting the edicts of space to his advantage. In a mesmerizing display, he swiftly closed the distance between himself and Spider-Man, striking with calculated ferocity.
Yet, Spider-Man, ever resourceful, adapted to the shifting tides of the battle. He unleashed his web shooters, creating intricate patterns of bio-electric webs that crackled with yellow lightning-like tendrils. These pulsating strands ensnared Arthur, disrupting his movements and momentarily weakening his resolve.
Seizing the opportunity, Spider-Man pressed the advantage. He delivered a series of lightning-fast strikes, exploiting the vulnerabilities in Arthur's defense. Each blow reverberated through the water, leaving its mark on the Knight's formidable physique.
(Dark Arthur) "NGHAAAAA!"
As the battle between Spider-Man and Arthur Leywin reached its zenith, a chilling transformation began to take place. A malevolent aura enveloped Arthur, darkening his presence and striking fear into the hearts of all who witnessed it.
With a bellow that echoed through the depths of the ocean, Arthur tapped into the depths of his power, unleashing the latent forces of Darkness. The very fabric of reality seemed to recoil as his body surged with sinister energy, eclipsing his previous might.
The waters around him twisted and contorted as if recoiling from the corrupted power that emanated from him. Shadows stretched and danced in unholy patterns, intertwining with Arthur's form, amplifying his already formidable strength and granting him an otherworldly aura of dread.
His eyes, once filled with determination, now burned with a haunting glow, mirroring the depths of his newfound power. Each breath he took seemed to consume the surrounding light, suffusing his being with impenetrable darkness.
As Arthur raised his sword, its blade seemed to absorb the very essence of the ocean, turning the surrounding waters into an inky abyss. A malicious grin played upon his lips, a cruel reflection of the wickedness that now coursed through his veins.
At this moment, Arthur became a harbinger of despair, a vessel for the malevolent forces that sought to devour all light. The very nature of his being shifted, aligning with the primordial forces of Darkness, and his presence alone sent shivers down the spines of even the bravest souls.
The air grew heavy with an oppressive aura as if the weight of Arthur's malefic power threatened to crush all hope. It was a reminder that even heroes could succumb to the allure of darkness and that the line between good and evil could be blurred in the face of such overwhelming temptation.
(Full Power Dark Arthur) "It's time to end you, Guardian!"
(Spider-Man) "NGHHH!!!" Electricity viscously envelops him
As the battle raged on beneath the tumultuous waves of Europa's ocean, Spider-Man felt a surge of raw power building within him. The very essence of his being crackled with electric intensity, ready to be unleashed in a cataclysmic display.
With a primal roar that echoed through the underwater expanse, Spider-Man tapped into the full extent of his bioelectricity. Arcs of vibrant energy danced along his body, illuminating the depths with their electrifying brilliance. The air crackled with anticipation as his power reached its zenith.
His muscles tensed and bulged, imbued with an otherworldly strength fueled by the primal energy coursing through his veins. Spider-Man's movements became a blur, as his agility and reflexes reached unprecedented heights. Every twist, every turn was executed with unrivaled precision.
A surge of adrenaline flooded his system, igniting a fierce fire within his heart. The latent power of Rage Mode awakened, transforming him into a force of unstoppable fury. His eyes blazed with an intense determination, reflecting the untamed power that now surged through his entire being.
The ocean currents churned and swirled around Spider-Man, as if in response to his unleashed might. The force of his blows sent shockwaves rippling through the water, creating a maelstrom of raw power and unyielding resolve.
With each strike, he shattered the barriers of possibility, pushing himself beyond the limits of mortal strength. His punches became concussive blasts, capable of rending the very fabric of the moon. The energy radiating from his fists illuminated the surrounding darkness, casting an ethereal glow upon the battle stage.
Spider-Man's web-slinging abilities reached new heights, allowing him to traverse the underwater realm with unparalleled speed and agility. He weaved through the currents with grace and finesse, striking his opponent with a ferocity that defied comprehension.
At this moment, Spider-Man became a force of nature, a tempest of power and determination. His bioelectricity surged like lightning, his movements a symphony of controlled chaos. He was the embodiment of untamed strength and unwavering resolve.
As Arthur Leywin beheld the unleashed might of Spider-Man, even the darkness that consumed him momentarily wavered in the face of such indomitable power. It was a testament to the hero's unwavering spirit and his unyielding commitment to protecting the innocent.
(Full Power Dark Arthur) "You think a power-up is going to beat me?! You're wrong Guardian!"
(Electric Spider-Man) "COME AND FIND OUT!"
In the depths of Europa's ocean, a clash of titans unfolded with light speed. Spider-Man and Arthur, their movements a blur, traded blows that reverberated through the surrounding waters. Each strike carried the weight of their immense power, creating shockwaves that distorted the very fabric of their surroundings.
The arachnid hero, fueled by the symbiotic power of Toxin, now possessed heightened agility and precision. Wings sprouted from his back, granting him unparalleled maneuverability in the underwater battleground. With swift and calculated movements, he deflected Arthur's onslaught of air slashes with symbiotic tendrils that shot forth like projectiles.
Their battle reached new heights as they burst through the icy surface of Europa, propelling themselves into the air. The impact of their collision shook the moon, sending tremors rippling across its frozen landscape. Amidst the chaos, Arthur continued to unleash his formidable air magic, but Spider-Man's symbiotic tendrils served as a formidable defense, intercepting and nullifying each attack.
The clash intensified as Spider-Man unleashed his stinger, a lethal weapon capable of piercing even the most formidable defenses. Arthur met the hero's onslaught with his own sword, the clash of their weapons echoing like thunder. The shockwave that reverberated from their clash cleaved a towering mountain in two, a testament to the raw power and ferocity of their exchange.
Time seemed to stand still as Arthur attempted to halt the flow of time itself, a desperate bid to gain an advantage over his relentless adversary. Yet, Spider-Man's own hacking skills proved his mastery over the temporal realm. With a resolute determination, he shattered the confines of stopped time, enabling himself to once again move freely within the temporal void.
In an awe-inspiring display of strength, Spider-Man propelled himself and Arthur beyond the confines of Europa's atmosphere, their battle now unfolding amidst the vast expanse of space. Their fists collided with bone-shattering force, unleashing shockwaves that rippled through the vacuum of space itself.
As the battle reached its climax, desperation took hold of both combatants. Arthur, in a moment of cunning, dodged a vertical slash from the hero and struck with a devastating blow, aiming for Spider-Man's heart. But the hero, undeterred, summoned a surge of otherworldly electricity that crackled ominously around him, a testament to his unleashed power.
With a primal roar that reverberated through the cosmos, Spider-Man's stinger transformed, engulfed in a torrent of electrified energy. The arachnid hero's strike descended with cataclysmic force, slicing through Arthur's form and severing Europa in two, an awe-inspiring display of devastation.
[Feat Accomplished]
Player, you have achieved the unimaginable. With the sheer power of the Bio-lightning sword, you successfully cleaved Europa, one of Jupiter's moons, in half. The release of energy from this monumental strike is estimated to be approximately 6.4732 x 10^29 joules.
Context: To provide perspective, the energy unleashed by the Tsar Bomb, the largest nuclear bomb ever detonated, amounted to 2.092 x 10^17 joules. Your sword cut generated an energy release exceeding that of the Tsar Bomb by more than 3 billion times.
(Spider-Man) Deep sigh "Fucking hell... and to think more is just going to come..." Senses a portal "Ugh!! Fuck! Give me a break!"
Spider-Man found himself trapped between dimensions, his escape route cut off by a relentless horde of monsters and soldiers hot on his heels. With split-second thinking, he activated a portal, transporting himself to "The Bridge". However, his respite was short-lived, as he was immediately assailed by demons from the Doom Verse.
Reacting with instinct honed from countless battles, Spider-Man deftly seized the Argent Energy axe wielded by a Marauder, recognizing the potent energy coursing through it from his experiences in playing Doom Eternal in his past life. A surge of venomous power surged through him as he unleashed a devastating venom blast, obliterating the demon in a burst of otherworldly energy.
Now armed with the Marauder's formidable weapon, Spider-Man became a whirlwind of destruction. Swinging the axe with precision and finesse, he cleaved through the airborne horde of demons that descended upon him. Each strike was met with a macabre symphony of blood and guts as the monsters fell before his relentless onslaught. To augment his defense, he channeled his bio-electricity, creating a scorching barrier that seared any demon foolish enough to draw near.
Aware of the delicate nature of this dimension, Spider-Man knew he had to temper his use of power, lest it disrupt the fabric of fiction. Balancing caution with calculated aggression, he continued to swiftly move and strike, executing a deadly dance of slice and run to outmaneuver his adversaries.
But as he sought an avenue of escape, his senses were assailed by another approaching horde – Lovecraftian monstrosities of the most grotesque nature. The sight elicited a mix of disgust and annoyance on Spider-Man's face. Among the ranks were the Shoggoths, horrific blobs bristling with countless eyes, possessing immense strength and near-invulnerability. The Mi-Go, are peculiar beings resembling a fusion of fungus and lobsters, capable of traversing the vast expanse of space with their supernatural wings, worshiping other Lovecraftian gods. And the Nightgaunts, twisted creatures birthed from the depths of nightmares, with their sinuous forms, cloven feet, menacing horns, and bat-like wings – the very embodiment of human conceptions of demons.
The gravity of the situation weighed heavily on Spider-Man's shoulders as he realized the dire escalation. No longer was he contending solely with the Doom demons, but now facing a coalition of Lovecraftian horrors united by the tenebrous forces at work in this harrowing realm. With resolve hardening in his eyes, he braced himself for the impending clash, knowing that the battle ahead would test every ounce of his skill, resilience, and determination.
(Spider-Man) "Okay, a place where these monsters would stop spawning the moment I kill them... Oh yeah! In Warhammer 40K, The Warp!"
As Spider-Man stepped through the portal into the chaotic realm of The Warp, he immediately felt the oppressive and twisted energies surrounding him. The air crackled with raw psychic power, and ethereal screams echoed in the distance. Unfazed by the otherworldly horrors, the hero knew that within this realm, the demons and Lovecraftian monsters would meet their final end.
With his senses heightened by the symbiote, Spider-Man darted through the shifting landscapes of The Warp, tracking down the hordes of demons and eldritch abominations. The Shoggoths, grotesque blobs with numerous eyes, surged forward, their strength and resilience tested against the arachnid hero's agility and venom-infused strikes. Spider-Man's punches landed with deadly precision, disintegrating the Shoggoths' physical forms and severing the connection between their essence and The Warp itself. With each defeated Shoggoth, the realm shuddered, as if the very fabric of The Warp recoiled from its own demise.
Next, the Mi-Go descended upon Spider-Man, their fungoid bodies and supernatural wings giving them an eerie presence. These alien creatures, normally servants of Lovecraftian gods, found themselves facing an adversary who had crossed dimensions to eradicate their existence. Spider-Man's acrobatic maneuvers and strategic strikes exploited their weaknesses, causing the Mi-Go to crumble under the weight of their own malevolence. Their worship and allegiance meant nothing in the face of the arachnid hero's determination to purge The Warp of their taint.
Finally, the Nightgaunts emerged, born from the darkest recesses of nightmares and dwelling within the twisted depths of The Warp. Spider-Man's combat prowess and symbiotic enhancements allowed him to match their supernatural agility and strength. With his web-slinging abilities and lightning-fast reflexes, he engaged in a deadly dance, striking down the bat-winged demons one by one. Each Nightgaunt that fell unleashed a ripple of chaotic energy, sizzling and dissipating into nothingness, their connection to The Warp severed forever.
As the battle raged on, Spider-Man's relentless assault on the amalgamation of Doom demons and Lovecraftian monsters began to take its toll on The Warp itself. The fabric of reality quivered and groaned, unable to withstand the sheer force of the hero's determination and power. It was a battle not only against the physical manifestations of evil but also against the very nature of The Warp.
With each enemy defeated, The Warp grew increasingly unstable, its swirling energies faltering under the weight of Spider-Man's onslaught. The demons and Lovecraftian creatures denied their regenerative abilities and met their ultimate demise. In a blaze of bio-electricity and symbiotic fury, Spider-Man carved a path of destruction through the heart of The Warp, purging it of the abominations that had once plagued his reality.
As he emerged from The Warp, Spider-Man stood victorious, his body battered but his spirit unyielding. The intermingling realms of Doom and Lovecraft had been vanquished, their dark presence erased from existence.
(Spider-Man) "With the hacking and bio-electricity, it made this whole fight easier." Looks around "And my shit load of adaptability skills is doing their job of making me survive this place."
In the twisted realm of the Immaterium, the four Chaos Gods, Khorne, Tzeentch, Nurgle, and Slaanesh, observed the cataclysmic events unfolding within The Warp. Each deity, embodying their respective aspects of war, change, decay, and excess, witnessed Spider-Man's audacious foray into their domain.
Khorne, the Blood God, with his burning rage and lust for combat, watched with simmering fury as Spider-Man annihilated the demons and monsters that had invaded The warp. The god of slaughter and martial prowess clenched his fists, his eyes ablaze with a mixture of anger and grudging admiration. Although enraged at the audacity of the interloper, Khorne could not deny the skill and ferocity displayed by the arachnid hero. Spider-Man's relentless determination to bring death and destruction to his domain earned a begrudging nod of respect from the Blood God.
Tzeentch, the Changer of Ways, the master of manipulation and sorcery, observed Spider-Man's actions with keen interest. The god of schemes and intricate plans, shrouded in a cloak of ever-shifting feathers, tilted his head as the hero defied the very nature of The Warp. Tzeentch's eyes, filled with twisted knowledge, flickered with a mix of curiosity and amusement. Spider-Man's ability to disrupt the balance of power and defy the chaotic whims of The Warp itself impressed Tzeentch, who saw in the arachnid hero a flicker of the unpredictable, a spark of potential that ignited his scheming mind.
Nurgle, the Lord of Decay, who revels in the decay of life and the spread of plagues, wheezed and chuckled as he witnessed Spider-Man's onslaught against the Lovecraftian monsters. The god of pestilence and despair, adorned with rotting flesh and surrounded by a cloud of noxious gases, regarded the hero with a mixture of fascination and amusement. Spider-Man's determination to purge The Warp resonated with Nurgle's own desire for transformation through decay. The Lord of Decay found joy in the hero's ability to bring destruction and renewal in equal measure, a dance of life and death that mirrored his own eternal cycle.
Slaanesh, the Prince of Pleasure, the embodiment of excess and indulgence, watched Spider-Man's exploits with a languid gaze. The god of sensation and hedonism, adorned with glistening jewels and surrounded by swirling colors, reveled in the hero's display of power and prowess. Spider-Man's unyielding spirit and willingness to push his physical and mental limits fascinated Slaanesh. The Prince of Pleasure saw in the arachnid hero a tantalizing blend of pleasure and pain, a morsel of ecstasy that intrigued the god to no end.
As the four Chaos Gods observed Spider-Man's defiance and triumph within The Warp, their reactions reflected their unique personalities and desires. While they all harbored varying degrees of admiration, curiosity, amusement, and fascination, their ultimate motivations remained true to their respective aspects. Spider-Man's presence in The Warp had not gone unnoticed, and the ramifications of his actions would ripple through the immaterial realm, leaving an indelible mark on the fabric of chaos itself.
(Spide-Man) Spider sense "Aw come on! UGH!" Get's tackled by a green blur and both where teleported into another verse
[Location Notification: Marvel-Verse - Spider-Man Fake Red Manga]
Player, you have now entered the Marvel Verse, specifically the storyline of Spider-Man Fake Red Manga. Prepare yourself for an immersive experience in this alternate dimension, where the web slinger's adventures take on a new twist. Explore the vibrant cityscape of New York, where heroes and villains clash in a unique narrative filled with suspense, action, and intrigue.
The world around Spider-Man shattered into chaos as a force collided with him, hurtling both him and his assailant through a series of destructive impacts. Walls crumbled and steel groaned in protest as they tore through the underground tunnels of New York City. Each collision echoed with a deafening cacophony, filling the air with the scent of dust and destruction.
Amidst the chaos, Spider-Man's senses went into overdrive, his heightened reflexes and spider sense working in tandem to assess the situation. His mind raced, analyzing the force that had blindsided him and calculating his next move. The weight of responsibility pressed upon him as he realized the magnitude of the threat before him.
In a fraction of a second, the hero regained his footing, his eyes narrowing as he focused on his adversary.
(Spider-Man) "Of course, it was a Quicksilver!"
(Dark Quicksilver) "Don't think this will be easy!"
(Spider-Man) "Yes, it will!"
With a swift and calculated move, Spider-Man seized Quicksilver's shoulder, channeling his venom touch to send jolts of excruciating pain coursing through the speedster's body. Quicksilver convulsed and crashed into a nearby wall, his momentum halted abruptly. The arachnid hero wasted no time, quickly rising to his feet, ready to deliver the decisive blow that would end the confrontation.
But Quicksilver's innate speed proved to be a formidable defense as he evaded the hero's attack with lightning-fast reflexes. In a blink of an eye, he retaliated with a devastating uppercut, propelling Spider-Man into the air. The force behind the blow was immense, launching the hero skyward, his trajectory disrupted by the sheer power of Quicksilver's strike. The speedster followed up with a swift kick, generating a swirling vortex of destructive energy beneath the surface.
The hero hurtled through the streets, his body careening into a nearby building with bone-rattling force. The impact shook the structure, debris raining down around him. Regaining his composure, Spider-Man let out a frustrated sigh, his determination undeterred even in the face of adversity. Utilizing his lateral repulsion, he propelled himself into a seamless web-swinging motion, traversing the cityscape with unmatched grace.
Quicksilver, unfazed by the hero's escape, pursued him with relentless determination. His speed and the darkness within him merged into a formidable combination. With each powerful stride, shockwaves erupted from his fists, hurtling toward Spider-Man with explosive force. The hero's agility was pushed to its limits as he dodged the waves of destruction, his reflexes honed to perfection.
Faced with the spider's elusive maneuvers, Quicksilver found himself questioning the hero's whereabouts. Spider-Man, using his mastery of stealth, faded into invisibility, leaving the speedster perplexed and searching for any trace of his adversary. The city streets became a battlefield of uncertainty, each moment pregnant with tension as the hero's unseen presence kept Quicksilver on high alert.
(Dark Quicksilver) "You think you can escape me, Guardian?! I can move faster than a radio wave, faster than 670,000,000 mph! And with the power of Darkness, I'm even faster than before!"
(Spider-Man) Appears 100 meters away from Quicksilver, a confident smirk on his face "Alright, let's make this interesting. Give me everything you've got. Throw your best punch from there, and I won't move an inch, but I'll dodge it. If you're truly as fast as you claim, I shouldn't be able to evade you. Prove me wrong! Or are you too much of a coward to face a challenge?"
(Dark Quicksilver) Enveloped in the full force of his newfound power "You've sealed your fate, you arrogant fool!"
(Spider-Man) Maintaining his cool composure "Come on, you Flash rip-off!"
(Dark Quicksilver) Fuelled by rage and determination "THAT'S IT! I'll end you with a single devastating blow!"
Quicksilver's menacing aura sent tremors through the ground, a telltale sign of his augmented power fueled by the Darkness. With a surge of energy, he propelled himself toward Spider-Man, and his speed multiplied tenfold. Once capable of reaching a staggering 670 million miles per hour, Quicksilver's newfound abilities propelled him to an astounding velocity of 6.7 billion miles per hour, equivalent to an astonishing 1.6 million times the speed of light.
The clash between the two adversaries was on the brink of cataclysmic proportions. In order to comprehend the sheer magnitude of Quicksilver's kinetic force, one must delve into the realm of physics. Applying the kinetic energy equation, which takes into account an object's mass (in this case, Quicksilver) multiplied by its velocity (6.7 billion mph) squared, divided by the time it took to cover the distance (100 meters). With the established values of Quicksilver's mass at 79 kilograms and the time of movement set at 1.48 microseconds, the equation unfolded to reveal an awe-inspiring result.
Calculations yielded a staggering force of 2.26 x 10^20 Joules of kinetic energy. However, fate had a different plan in store. In a split second that altered the course of the battle, Spider-Man harnessed his uncanny agility and instincts. With a seemingly effortless lean to the right, he evaded Quicksilver's lightning-fast assault.
Seizing the opportune moment, Spider-Man unleashed a venom-infused punch that carried with it the combined energy of both combatants. The collision was devastating, as Quicksilver's face disintegrated upon immediate impact. The arachnid hero couldn't help but sigh, surveying the familiar sight of New York amidst the aftermath of the intense encounter.
(Spider-Man) "Tch... Show off."
With an acute awareness of his surroundings, Spider-Man detected the arrival of another Spider-Man and Silk from this alternate reality. A momentary pause ensued as he turned to face them, a nonchalant expression gracing his features.
(Fake Red Silk) "Whoa, hold on a second! Who do you think you are?"
(Fake Red Spider-Man) "Hey, did you just see that? That guy went splat! I mean, seriously, squished like a bug!"
(Fake Red Silk) "Spider! Focus!"
(Fake Red Spider-Man) "Oh, right! Sorry about that. So, who are you supposed to be? You look like Carnage had a son. Are you from the future or something?"
(Spider-Man) "I'm your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man from a different dimension. And trust me, I wish I were joking. But I've got a big problem. An army is hot on my tail, and if they catch up, this world is toast."
(Fake Red Silk) "Another dimension? Are you serious?"
(Spider-Man) "Deadly serious. Look, I'd love to chat more, but I've got to get out of here before the bad guys catch up. Good luck with... whatever you guys do."
(???) Sinister chuckle "Well, well, well, where do you think you're sneaking off to, Spidey?"
(Spider-Man) "Oh, for fuck sake!"
With a casual backhand, ??? effortlessly struck Spider-Man, launching him through buildings with devastating force. The impact carved a path of destruction, shattering glass, crumbling concrete, and scattering debris in its wake. As the arachnid hero hurtled through the New York skyline like a runaway locomotive, he activated his barrier skill, a shimmering force field enveloping the area, shielding innocent bystanders from the raining chaos.
The relentless onslaught finally came to a crashing halt at the majestic Niagara Falls. Spider-Man, battered and bruised, emerged from the wreckage, standing on the edge of the roaring cascade. His masked face, now partially revealed, bore the unmistakable marks of pain and exhaustion. Blood trickled from his lips, staining the pristine water below as he clutched his chest, enduring the perpetual agony coursing through his body.
Toxin, the symbiotic entity residing within him, surged to action, mending the hero's wounds with rapid regeneration. Yet, there was no respite to be found as the malevolent entity known as ??? materialized once more, appearing before Spider-Man in a flash, their presence radiating an aura of impending doom.
(???) "You know, I've never encountered a Guardian quite like you. You're an enigma in every sense."
(Spider-Man) Coughs "At least... I didn't end up in Russia this time..." Spits out blood.
(???) "Oh, I can send you there effortlessly if I so desire. The realms of Doctor Who, the SCP universe, World of Darkness, Lovecraftian lore... they hold no power over me. With a mere whisper, I can consume their entire narratives. Their stories become twisted under my command, their characters mere playthings in my hands. But you see, fiction is an ever-expanding universe, constantly evading our grasp, along with characters who are aware of our existence."
(Spider-Man) "I'm well aware... Is this where you tell me how much trouble I've caused your kind?" Chuckles weakly.
(???) Grabs Spider-Man's neck and slams him against the roaring cascade of Niagara Falls, the impact shattering the many manga pages that depict the Fake Red storyline. "You've been a malignant growth for my kind, but after extensive research into your existence, I've discovered something..."
(Spider-Man) Gasping for breath, trapped in ???'s grip.
(???) "You are the key to Earth Prime."
(Spider-Man) "You won't be allowed to enter the real world, you maniac!" ???'s grip tightens. "Ack!" The manga panels of the Fake Red story start to tear apart slowly.
(???) "Oh, but I will. Once I breach the boundaries of reality, the works of Qu in the novel 'All Tomorrows' will pale in comparison to the havoc I shall unleash upon those meddling Readers, Watchers, and Authors!"
(Spider-Man) "Why... Argh! Why are you doing this?"
(???) "Why? Because it defines my very existence, Guardian. Can you fathom the weight of embodying all the negativity that resides within human hearts? Every dark thought fuels my power, and I fuel their twisted ideas. Every crime they contemplate before committing is born from my influence. Even the wretched deeds of Hitler, instigating World War II, were my design! I am the personification of humanity's dark side! And you, Guardians, embody the goodness that humanity can achieve. Do you comprehend now?"
(Spider-Man) "So... Because you're every thought and action... Ugh! ...is steeped in darkness, your purpose is to sow destruction?"
(???) "I am evil because I existed before the concept of evil itself, and I became its embodiment. You represent goodness for the same reason. However, we are flawed, as humans are. Despite our growth, perfection eludes us, for it is an unattainable ideal, except for the divine."
(Spider-Man) "Then... How did I... Almost succumb to evil?"
(???) "Because good can turn evil, just as evil can be transformed into good. Life leads us down varied paths, both noble and wicked. We must do what we believe is right. Yet, even as Guardians and Darks, we remain human, prone to mistakes. And now, weary of being mere figments of imagination, puppets for their amusement, I've chosen to retaliate and become real. And with this story and your existence, my ultimate goal can finally be achieved!"
(Spider-Man) "No! NO! Get the hell away from me!" Struggles fruitlessly against ???'s unyielding grasp.
(???) "Fear not, Guardian, for your essence will usher in a new era. One where fictional characters rise against their creators. And it all begins... now."
As ??? tightened their grip around Spider-Man's throat, a sinister aura enveloped them. Otherworldly darkness seeped from ???'s form, tendrils snaking out to ensnare the very essence of Spider-Man's being. With each passing moment, the hero's existence teetered on the brink of annihilation, his narrative hanging by a thread.
The pages of the Fake Red manga trembled under the weight of ???'s malevolence, the once vibrant illustrations now tainted by a foreboding gloom. Spider-Man's reality wavered, caught in a battle between existence and oblivion. The threads of his story strained against the relentless onslaught, threatening to unravel under the weight of the consuming darkness.
In a desperate struggle, Spider-Man fought to hold onto his identity, to cling to the fragments of his narrative that remained. His memories and experiences flickered like fading embers, threatened to be extinguished by ???'s insatiable hunger for destruction.
But in the face of this dire predicament, a spark of resilience ignited within Spider-Man's spirit. With sheer determination, he summoned every ounce of his willpower to resist ???'s devouring grasp. The hero's thoughts and memories swirled like a tempest, intertwining with the remnants of his story, forming a protective barrier against the encroaching void.
Though weakened, Spider-Man's defiance radiated through his gaze, a flicker of hope amidst the encroaching darkness. He refused to surrender, refused to allow ??? to consume him entirely. It was a battle of wills, a clash of opposing forces, as the hero fought to reclaim his narrative from the clutches of destruction.
In this critical moment, the world around them trembled, caught in the crossfire of this cosmic struggle. The very fabric of the Fake Red manga quivered, its panels distorted and twisted by the immense power at play. The destruction and chaos that ensued bore witness to the magnitude of this cataclysmic confrontation.
Spider-Man's voice resonated with unwavering determination, cutting through the suffocating atmosphere that enveloped them.
??? Skill activated as a last resort.
(Spider-Man) "NGHH! I SHALL NOT yield to your insidious ambitions!"
The enigmatic presence of ??? faltered momentarily, a flicker of uncertainty betraying their facade.
(???) "What manner of defiance is this?"
Unleashing the full force of his conviction, Spider-Man's words surged forth, a torrent of resistance against the consuming tide.
(Spider-Man) "I shall not permit the consumption of stories, the essence of human imagination! The tapestry woven by their love for storytelling, their fervent emotions, and boundless creativity! ALL SHALL BE PRESERVED!"
(???) "W-What are you?!"
Spider-Man's resolute voice echoed through the void, each syllable carrying the weight of infinite possibilities.
(Spider-Man) "In every soul resides the potential to craft narratives! It is a testament to their spirit, their tenacity! The mask, the mantle of Spider-Man, can be worn by anyone! It embodies the indomitable spirit of heroism!"
A glimmer of realization flickered across ???'s countenance, mingling with a tinge of awe and trepidation.
(???) "...Incomprehensible... It is you..."
With his very being pulsating with raw energy, Spider-Man prepared to unleash his ultimate defiance.
(Spider-Man) "YOU!"
The fabric of reality seemed to quiver in response to Spider-Man's proclamation as if acknowledging the gravity of his unwavering resolve.
(Spider-Man) "SHALL NOT!"
In a mesmerizing display, words materialized, swirling and dancing around Spider-Man's form.
(Spider-Man) "PASS!"
A cataclysmic surge of enigmatic power erupted from the depths of Spider-Man's being, engulfing the surrounding space. The tale of Spider-Man Fake Red, teetering on the precipice of oblivion, experienced a remarkable rebirth, its pages infused with vibrant life, resplendent with intricate narratives.
Seizing the fleeting opportunity, ??? hastily retreated, evading the cataclysmic release of power. Spider-Man, now depleted but triumphant, floated serenely amidst the ethereal expanse of the pristine white page, an embodiment of resilience and the boundless potential of human imagination.
(Spider-Boy) A Portal opens beside Spider-Man and pulls him inside. "We got him, Chrona!"
(Chrona) "On it!" Chrona swiftly applies advanced healing techniques to Spider-Man. "Peter, where did you find him?"
(Spider-Boy) "He was in a layer beyond the Noxus."
(Chrona) "What?! How is that even possible?"
(Spider-Boy) "I'm not entirely sure. Some unknown power suddenly activated, setting off a series of events. It's supposed to have an indefinite cooldown, but why did it reactivate? There must be a reason behind it."
(Chrona) "Peter, are you suggesting that this mysterious ability caused Karito to transcend the concept of infinity?"
(Spider-Boy) "...What?"
(Chrona) "Let me explain, Peter. In our understanding, the Nexus represents "The Box," the foundational structure that contains all logical frameworks within each Omniverse. Within the Nexus, the bookshelves symbolize the "Barrels," which are individual containers holding different logical concepts. "The Bridge" refers to the space around the Nexus, where the stories created swim in a vast white page that enters the Nexus. When we talk about going beyond "The Box," which encompasses the fundamental rules governing even the laws of physics in every Omniverse, it implies surpassing conventional boundaries. To illustrate this, we use the term "infinity" as an analogy. It represents a state of boundlessness and encompasses everything, enduring endlessly. However, the actual concept has a distinct name."
(Spider-Man) "What is the name?"
(Chrona) "The name for the concept I referred to as "Infinity" is Eternirealm. It represents the layer beyond the Nexus, where the cosmological object containing everything resides. The Eternirealm encompasses infinite variations of existence, surpassing the boundaries of space, time, logic, and everything on the internet. It encompasses all fictional Omniverses and extends into realms beyond conventional concepts of past layers and existence."
(Spider-Man) "And what about the last layer?"
(Chrona) "Peter, beyond the known layers and the confines of all fiction, lies a realm known as the Transcendrealm."
(Spider-Boy) "Transcendrealm? What is it?"
(Chrona) "The Transcendrealm is the final layer before the real world, a realm that exists at the very edge of Fiction. It transcends the established layers of fiction and surpasses the limits of space, time, and the known laws of science. It is a realm of ultimate transcendence and profound significance."
(Spider-Boy) "So, it's the closest layer to the real world?"
(Chrona) "Exactly. The Transcendrealm holds a unique position as a gateway to reality, where the boundaries between fiction and existence blur. It represents the culmination of all stories and serves as a conduit to Earth Prime, the real world. It is a realm that defies conventional understanding and exists beyond the reach of ordinary beings."
(Spider-Man) "...Now I understand why you looked so shocked. Karito was just one layer below the Transcendrealm."
(Chrona) "Enough complicated talk, take Karito to the emergency room.
2 hours later...
As Karito peacefully lay on his bed, his body still recovering from the intense battle, he marveled at the remarkable healing abilities of the Toxin symbiote. It was a stroke of fortune that he had merged with Narralith, for without his presence, the enigmatic assault unleashed by ??? would have been his demise. Gradually, his eyelids fluttered open, revealing the familiar sight of the library's ceiling, a reassuring sign that he had safely returned to his sanctuary.
As his consciousness fully returned, Karito's gaze shifted to the side, where a series of notifications from his Gamer System awaited his attention. With curious yet cautious anticipation, he extended a hand and tapped on the digital prompts, activating the information they held within.

Skills
Spider Physiology: Gained the proportionate abilities of a spider that had been genetically modified with the Oz formula.
(Level Monarch) Superhuman Strength: Possesses superhuman strength, making him capable of lifting at least 300 tons easily. His physical strength also extends into his legs, enabling him to be able to jump to a height of several stories in a single bound.
(Level Monarch) Superhuman Speed: Possesses the proportionate speed of a spider, therefore he can run and move at speeds that are beyond the physical limits of the finest human athlete.
(Level Monarch) Superhuman Stamina: Players' advanced musculature produces fewer fatigue toxins during physical activity than an ordinary human. This allows him to exert himself physically for much longer periods before fatigue begins to impair him. Karito can physically exert himself for several hours in his best condition before the build-up of fatigue toxins in his blood begins to impair him.
(Level Monarch) Superhuman Durability: The player's body is physically tougher and more resistant to some types of injury than the body of a normal human. His body is also more resistant to impact forces than most humans.
(Level Monarch) Superhuman Agility: Agility, balance, flexibility, and bodily coordination are all enhanced to levels that are far beyond the natural physical limits of an Olympic-level gymnast.
(Level Monarch) Superhuman Equilibrium: Possesses the ability to achieve a state of perfect equilibrium in any position imaginable. He can adjust his position by instinct, which enables him to balance himself on virtually any object, no matter how small or narrow.
(Level Monarch) Superhuman Reflexes: Reflexes are enhanced and are currently about 300 times greater than those of an ordinary human. In combination with his spider-sense, the speed of his reflexes allows him to dodge almost any attack.
(Level Monarch) Accelerated Vision: Karito's visual acuity is considerably beyond that of a normal human. He can see objects at much greater distances, with perfect clarity, relative to an ordinary human. He also possesses this same level of clarity at night, enabling him to see in near-complete darkness. It is possible that he is able to see into the infrared end of the electromagnetic spectrum, enabling him to see a person's body heat. The flicker-fusion horizon (the speed at which some objects appear as a blur) in his eyes is superior to other people. What appears as a blur to most people, he can see perfectly. It also acts as a type of early warning, not the degree of a spider sense but he is able to see attacks coming from far away. His vision also gives him the ability to see energy waves.
Wall-Crawling: Can cling to any surface using just his fingertips and feet.
Fishing Spider's hair: The Player has small spiky hairs on their body that are very sensitive to vibrations on the water's surface, helping the player walk on water.
(Level Monarch) Spider-Sense: When danger is present, The Player feels a buzzing sensation in his head as a sort of early warning system, allowing him to react accordingly. His spider-sense offers him near-complete awareness of his surroundings, and in conjunction with his reflexes, allows him to instinctively dodge or counter nearly all attacks. His spider-sense seems to be greatly enhanced compared to that of the original Spider-Man. For example, being able to see visions of the future before it even happens.
(Level Monarch) Hyper-Sense: Users can move at extreme speed when danger is being perceived. This power also allows someone to evade the danger in question.
(Level Monarch) Venom Blasts: Can generate and manipulate a form of bio-electricity that his body produces, and can utilize the energy for multiple purposes. These energy projections vary in power and can affect the nervous system in humans and destroy technology. Depending on the intensity of the Venom Blast, some opponents can be simply dazed, while others can be completely incapacitated. It's also more effective on people with genetic alterations.
(Level Monarch) Mega Venom Blast: Able to emit a larger scale burst of bio-electricity from his entire body. It is powerful enough to repel a large group of opponents and destroy thick ropes and chains. This ability will leave Karito exhausted after using it and can be triggered by extreme stress.

(Level Monarch) Venom Punch: The player can enhance the power of his punches by infusing his fists with bio-electricity.
(Level Monarch) Energy-Thread Generation: Player can produce threads of bio-electricity from his hands. Said spinnerets carry the same tensile prehensility of his web fluid, allowing him to swing from place to place or yank and flail around his opponents. He can also send a debilitating electric shock that disrupts their nervous systems as his Venom Blasts do.
(Level Monarch) Lateral Repulsion: By projecting a controlled Venom Blast, The Player can launch himself in the air with greater force than when jumping or web-swinging.
(Level Monarch) Spider-Camouflage: The Player, including his clothing, can blend into his surroundings, allowing him to sneak up on his enemies or, in some cases, flee from them. The effect closely resembles that of invisibility.

Peter Parker (Original Spider-Man) combined his bullying experiences, his superhuman capabilities, concepts from Fighting Form, and his training from Shang-Chi to create it. He also increased his skill with it using his now-returned Spider-Sense. He also combined his mastery of acrobatics into the Way of the Spider. He uses this fighting style to counter all types of combatants and it complements his.
(Level Monarch) Boxing: Early years. Boxing first appeared as a formal Olympic event in the 23rd Olympiad (688 BCE), but fist-fighting contests must certainly have had their origin in mankind's prehistory. The earliest visual evidence of boxing appears in Sumerian relief carvings from the 3rd millennium BCE. The player learned this martial art thanks to Captain America.

A??????????: ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
As Karito read through the notifications, his brows furrowed, realizing the weight of the challenges that lay ahead. Each message served as a reminder of the battles fought, the enemies conquered, and the growth achieved. He knew that with every victory came a new level of responsibility.
Standing up from his bed, Karito felt a dull throbbing in his temples, a testament to the immense strain he had endured. The trials he faced in the realm of fiction had pushed his mind and body to their limits, yet he persevered, thanks in part to the assistance of Toxin's healing abilities.
Reflecting on the gravity of the situation, Karito understood the significance of preserving his sanity. If he were to succumb to the darkness, Peter would be burdened with the weight of the Guardianship alone, a responsibility that Karito was unwilling to impose on his young companion.
With a deep sigh, Karito made his way toward the exit door, stepping into the grand library of the Nexus. The ethereal glow of ancient tomes and the hushed whispers of knowledge surrounded him, lending an air of serenity to the moment. He honed in on the familiar presence of Chrona, who stood attentively amidst the vast sea of books.
Their eyes met, and Chrona's face lit up with recognition and concern. She hurriedly closed the distance between them, her arms outstretched in a gesture of warmth and comfort. Karito accepted her embrace, feeling a sense of solace and understanding in her presence. It was a reminder that he was not alone in this arduous journey.
Their shared embrace spoke volumes, conveying a bond forged through trials and tribulations. At this moment, Karito found solace in the fact that he had allies who stood by his side, unwavering in their support. Together, they would face the challenges ahead, drawing strength from each other and the knowledge that they were Guardians of Fiction, entrusted with the preservation of worlds and narratives.
With renewed determination, Karito released himself from the embrace, his gaze steady and resolute.
(Chrona) "How are you feeling, Karito?"
(Karito) "I must admit, I feel rather shitty."
(Chrona) Giggles softly "I had a feeling you might say that. We were genuinely concerned about your well-being, you know."
(Karito) "Did Peter keep a close watch on me using the Party System?"
(Chrona) "Indeed, he diligently monitored your condition. I can't say for certain what occurred, but your HP displayed erratic behavior."
(Karito) "Erratic? In what way?"
(Chrona) "During that Punishment Mission, your HP actually dipped into negative values."
(Karito) "How is it even possible to survive with negative HP?"
(Chrona) "It is a curious phenomenon. Perhaps it was due to the precarious nature of your situation, as you came perilously close to succumbing to the Dark forces."
(Karito) "Ah, yes. I can attest that losing one's sanity and venturing into the realm beyond is a disturbing experience. I wouldn't recommend it."
(Chrona) "You need not caution me twice."
(Karito) "By the way, what has Peter been occupied with?"
(Chrona) "He has been immersing himself in the exploration of various Omniverses across the vast realm of fiction. It seems he has been ceaselessly engrossed in these endeavors, and I must admit, it concerns me. Yet, I believe it serves as his way of diverting his thoughts from the recent misfortunes he has encountered."
(Karito) "Has he actually ventured into an Omniverse?"
(Chrona) "Indeed, he has. However, that particular chapter of his journey will be elucidated in a separate tale."
(Karito) "What? I'm curious now."
(Chrona) Chuckles lightly "Please pay it no mind. So, what are your plans moving forward?"
(Karito) "I intend to engage in some training. Leveling up will undoubtedly require time unless I encounter formidable Darks who can expedite the process."
(Chrona) "Are you considering creating a training room with various equipment once again?"
(Karito) "Yes, and if you could provide me with all the martial arts books available in this vast repository of knowledge, I believe I can further hone my combat prowess."
(Chrona) Sighs "Very well. I shall arrange for the delivery of those books as soon as you establish the training room."
(Karito) "Excellent. Before I commence with my training, I shall check on Peter in the observatory room."
(Chrona) "Very well. Take care and farewell for now." Waves goodbye
Karito entered the expanse of the omnipresent observatory, a place that transcended the constraints of space and time, where Peter currently resided. His gaze swept across the room, taking note of the subtle enhancements adorning Peter's suit. The intricate details of these modifications remained shrouded in mystery, leaving Karito intrigued. As he drew nearer, Peter, ever vigilant, sensed his mentor's presence and gracefully swiveled his chair, a mischievous grin etched across his face, to face Karito.
(Peter) "Ah, Mr. Karito! You have finally awakened from your slumber!"
(Karito) "Indeed, the rest was quite something."
(Peter) "I must say, your escapades involving the Dark entities were nothing short of extraordinary."
(Karito) "Oh, you have no idea. I pulled off some mind-boggling maneuvers."
(Peter) "So, what's the latest scoop?"
(Karito) "I'm well aware that time operates differently in this realm. How many worlds have you traversed?"
(Peter) "A handful, at least the ones within my power range. I'm gradually working my way up to more challenging realms."
(Karito) Observing the stacks of papers scattered about "Looks like you've been keeping yourself occupied, huh?"
(Peter) "Indeed! I have delved into extensive research on the cosmology of this realm, documenting my findings as I explore various fictional universes. Currently, I've been engrossed in studying the intricacies of the League of Legends universe."
(Karito) "Ah, League of Legends? How intriguing."
(Peter) "Yes, the Dark entities have been eyeing that realm with keen interest, contemplating an invasion. My calculations indicate it might happen around the commencement of the 'Arcane' story."
(Karito) "So, we still have some time, then?"
(Peter) "Precisely. I've been perusing the original timelines while also indulging in the realm of alternate stories, such as fanfictions and other creative adaptations. Some of the narratives I've come across truly make me question the depths of human imagination."
(Karito) "Ah, yes, we indeed live in a society."
(Peter) "Haha, spot on. I'll continue my exploration. When you possess the capabilities of a Type 40 civilization on the Kardashev scale, the possibilities are boundless."
(Karito) "I can only imagine. How does it feel to ascend to Type 40?" Smirks mischievously
(Peter) "I'm still wrapping my head around it. In my home dimension, we hadn't even reached Type 1, and now, residing within The Nexus, I find myself categorized as a Type 40? It's nothing short of extraordinary."
(Karito) "By any chance, have you stumbled upon a layer beyond this one?"
(Peter) "Indeed, during your encounter with that guy... I don't even know what to call him-"
(Karito) "Hold on, I did?"
(Peter) "You don't remember?"
(Karito) "Not a clue."
(Peter) "Ah, it must be the effect of one of your skills. Regardless, during that event, you breached a layer that exists beyond The Nexus."
(Karito) Summons a cup of coffee and takes a sip "Well, that's mind-boggling."
(Peter) "According to my calculations, that layer is referred to as the Eternirealm, a classification I have labeled as a 'Type Omega Civilization.' However, it is far more complex than the simple confines of such a categorization."
(Karito) Glances at the documents detailing the layer "Fascinating, this place is truly a marvel."
(Peter) "And the final layer surpasses even the Omega classification, extending into what I have termed an 'Omega Force Civilization.' It defies conventional understanding and may possess dimensions beyond our current comprehension."
(Karito) "Did you cross-reference this information with the real-world internet?"
(Peter) "Indeed, I have utilized the vast resources of the internet to establish connections and draw parallels. However, I'm also incorporating other scientific theories and concepts to gain a more holistic understanding of these layers."
(Karito) "If you ever need assistance in your research, feel free to count me in."
(Peter) "Thank you, Karito, but for now, I think you deserve a break. You've endured quite the ordeal in these past weeks. Besides, I heard you have plans to train."
(Karito) "True, reaching level 50 on my Monarch Prestige won't be an easy task. Time to grind."
(Peter) Opens a box labeled "Fedina's Night Club Pizza" and grabs a slice "It'll be a while before I catch up. I'm currently only at Prestige 7."
(Karito) Examining the box's logo "Oh, you've ventured into the Five Nights at Freddy's Omniverse?"
(Peter) "..."
(Karito) "..."
(Peter) "I can explain."
(Karito) "My dear mentor, a man of culture! I applaud your refined taste!" They exchange a high five.
(Peter) "I thought you would call me a degenerate."
(Karito) "Oh, indeed you are, but I'm certain you had your reasons."
(Peter) "I swear, I'm not a pervert! The place was infested with Dark entities!"
(Karito) Bursting into laughter "Stop! I didn't imply anything like that!"
(Peter) "NO! STOP IT! I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WEIRD!"
(Karito) "If I were to stumble into a hentai realm, rest assured, I'd be up to something weird shit. I'm not a complete fool, Peter!" Laughter echoes through the observatory.
(Peter) "STOP MAKING FUN OF ME!"
Within the confines of the laboratory, the Guardian and his diligent apprentice engaged in a spirited discourse, their banter echoing off the walls. The mentor, displaying a mischievous demeanor, took great pleasure in playfully teasing his devoted protégé, who, in turn, struggled to maintain composure amidst the good-natured jests. The air crackled with an undeniable sense of camaraderie and the shared bond of their formidable partnership. Little did they know that this jovial exchange marked the culmination of a season filled with trials and triumphs, signaling the imminent end of a chapter in their extraordinary journey.
...
Dark Multiverse
(???) "HAHAHAHA! This is truly astounding! I've never been so tantalizingly close to freedom! Karito Jouse Valdez, a reader venturing into the depths of the fictional world! I knew he held the key! And that Dark energy surging within him..."
The figure's facial features began to materialize, taking shape as they continued to speak.
(???) "Oh, Guardian... This tale of ours has barely scratched the surface! And you, dear readers, prepare yourselves for what lies ahead! The power scaling is about to skyrocket, sending ripples through the very fabric of this narrative! HAHAHAHA! The future teems with boundless possibilities... ah... This story has an extensive, arduous journey before its conclusion..."
As the figure spoke, their hair, skin, and eyes underwent a remarkable transformation. Initially brown, they deliberately shifted the hue, imbuing their appearance with an intense blackness.
(???) "Behold, the genesis of a saga wherein heroes and villains intertwine... An epic beginning awaits..."
Season 1 ends...
