The system created a door that was not white and bright but dark and unstable, like entering a black hole.
Before crossing, Allen communicated with Gwen, MJ, and Felicia, telling them casually that he was going to another world, was surreal, but with all the events so far, it seemed commonplace.
The girls were brought by the system to where Allen was.
Gwen told him to be careful knowing that she couldn't stop him, Allen promised he wouldn't play with his life, although deep down he knows that anything can happen.
MJ made him promise to come back soon; Allen replied he would hardly stop streaming so she could stalk him all she wanted. Remembering the past she blushed.
Felicia wanted a souvenir from the world he goes to, Allen laughed in response, but then after a pause, Felicia told him not to risk his life out of pride, if he needed to flee, he should do it, she would never see him as less of a man for running away.
"Thank you..." Allen smiled affectionately upon hearing their words and feelings, then he kissed each girl. After that Allen called Diana and Natasha.
Diana acted more practical, telling him to call her when he needed her and that he could summon her at any time; Allen promised to do so.
Natasha pouted, saying it wasn't fair because these days she's been busy, and just when she's about to have free time, Allen disappears. He had to promise a weekend exclusively for Natasha for her to forgive him.
Allen informed his adorable secretary Ivy that he would be busy in the next few days.
Allen doesn't usually stay in Arkham every day, but both Ivy and Harleen can communicate with him anytime they want, however, this time he may not be available every day.
Allen called Tony to secure this place, he also told him that he could move it somewhere in Stark Industries, although it was a failed prototype and without the system, it wouldn't work, it was better to keep it away from malicious hands.
Ivan Vanko created something like this in less than a week, which made no sense; perhaps Ivan had a greater talent in this area than in creating exo-armors.
Allen walked towards the unknown door while feeling a bit tense, it was something that Allen didn't understand, all his abilities were available, including the unfair trap of the "Save Point," so why was he tense?
It was strange even with all his power and abilities Allen felt a twinge of his spider sense, it was weak but like a warning...
Allen took a step into the darkness; whoever created the system didn't program it to do this, so officially Allen had left safe mode.
...
Allen opened his eyes to see a spacewalking without knowing what he was standing on.
Something grazed Allen's cheek, which surprised him.
[Host, there's a powerful space-time storm ahead.]
"Wednesday, Rebecca, Artoria, Esdeath, quickly, everyone comes into my inventory!"
The girls obeyed; Allen strengthened his Infinity, including using all six eyes; however, the storms were terrifying, and he could barely defend himself.
'System, use the fragments...'
[Understood!]
The fragments of destiny: despite having that name, the fragments do not connect to destiny as such, they are closer to being a ticket to modify aspects of reality, the more they are used, the greater their effect; with a hundred of them, it would be like using the Cosmic Cube or the Infinity Gauntlet; with a thousand of them at the same time, it would be the equivalent of God moving his hand.
Allen felt his Infinity stabilize, and he was able to withstand the space-time storm, however...
[-1]
[Host, the current fragments only give you five minutes; you must find a place now to enter before time runs out or use the anchor and return!]
Allen is entering unknown territory like an explorer, however, he has a safety harness that can return him to his world.
Seconds and minutes passed before Allen could feel something in front of him; the system identified it as an unknown world. Allen approached intending to enter. He didn't have enough fragments to search for another, so it would be this world.
...
Allen's entry was quite violent, with a fracture of the fabric of reality. Allen compared both experiences when crossing to another world, and indeed, he shouldn't be in this world.
Allen looked around him surprised, darkness and small bright points in the distance, It was space and Allen was not on Earth, not even in the Milky Way, Allen was somewhere in the universe.
'Shit, if I didn't have the skill to live in space, I'd be dead!'
[Sorry, it's really like walking with your eyes closed; we don't have coordinates or a place to guide us.]
'Heh, I guess it doesn't matter...' Rebecca appeared next to Allen in a chibi version and sat on his shoulder. 'So, what do we do?'
'No cabs pass through here, that's for sure' Allen shrugged.
[Host... it's still a bit unstable, but I managed to restart the transmission.]
The live stream stream had started before entering, but it had to be paused due to interference from the space-time storm.
Although sound doesn't transmit in space, there's a little trick to speaking in space. Sound is transmitted by waves in the air.
Allen replaces the air with his own power, be it ki, magic, or cursed energy, in that way, he can produce sound in space. It seems simple, but it's a technique that requires good control of his powers to avoid the dispersion of space.
"Well, folks, today I'm in... I don't know where I am."
Rick – You fucking bastard!!, what the hell have you done?; Get out of there right away!!
"Rick?!"
Rick – There's no time to explain; you want to endanger the multiverse?! These coordinates are from... Earth 21-49! DAMN, IT!!
'System, get me out of here!'
[Right away!]
He didn't understand what was going on, but Rick, despite being a narcissist with a god complex who cares more that his beer isn't cold than the death of billions of people, is scared.
This was also felt by everyone in the Chat.
Gilgamesh - Allen Walker, I don't need much information to deduce your current situation, but this King would lose valuable entertainment if they kill you.
"I could die?"
To say that Allen was invincible is ridiculous; however, weak he would never be, especially now when his powers are fully available except for a Save Point that he used to recover his vitality.
TheEmperor – There is no...
PersyJ – Emperor, what do you mean...
Urahara – Mr. Walker... walking blind is like walking on a tightrope...
Aizen – Someone manipulated this world...
Urahara – What did you see Aizen?
Athena – Allen, I have a bad feeling.
Hestia – Allen you just go back!
Gwen – Not worth the risk
Felicia – Remember your promises!
Mary Jane – Allen...
"..." Allen sighed.
The universe around him was calm, there was no reason to despair, no changes, no disturbances, just calm. He couldn't imagine what was wrong with Universe 21-49, Allen felt something strange about this way of classifying the universe, but he didn't ask Rick.
[Host... I can't!]
'What?!'
[Every time I try to use the anchor, it's rejected, and it only allows me to go to a universe apart from this, the universe 91-126, I think both universes are trapped in a loop.]
TheEmperor - There's no future... there's no destiny... there's nothing... just death... there's no humanity in that world.
'System, show me Earth!'
Unlike previous universes, the system cannot teleport Allen anywhere he hasn't been before.
Allen seems like an RPG character who just appeared, and his mini-map is covered in fog. However, there's a small trick; Allen's system specializes in transmitting, recording, editing, etc., everything necessary to create high-quality content.
So, although Allen can't go to Earth, he should be able to see it through camera drones created by the system.
[Host, my top priority is to get you out of here. I'm trying to find a fault in the loop; it will take me some time, but I should be able to get you out of here.]
'I know, I just like to know what happened to this universe... why is Rick so altered?'
[Understood]
A series of screens unfolded in front of Allen, and the Chat could also see them, although Allen was curious, he remained alert for anyone who might attack him.
...
*Uatu's POV*
Ignorance is bliss...
Among infinite possibilities in the birth of a universe, there are some where no matter what they do, it always goes wrong.
A sick and doomed universe, a second universe sacrificed to contain the other.
A cruel and horrible fate to the point that even I, who swore to always be just an observer, was forced to intervene, condemning two universes to protect the others.
Only two... among an infinity...
*End of POV*
...
Allen felt an unprecedented chill... Not even the Anti-Life Equation made him feel something like this.
The screens around him lit up and showed the Earth.
It all started with a flash in the sky and a rumble over Manhattan Island. Then something fell from the sky and began attacking people.
The first heroes to arrive were the Avengers, they were used to invasions but didn't expect the enemy to be a powerful villain.
Captain Marvel, then known as Miss Marvel, saw a man in a golden and torn suit, it was Sentry, the powerful superhero with the power of a million suns.
But there was something very strange about Sentry... the man looked pale and gray, his blonde hair seemed dry, his lips had disappeared, and his teeth were grotesquely deformed. Was this Sentry? He didn't look anything like he should.
This hero is very powerful, practically invincible, how can someone do this to him?!
Some heroes felt a bad feeling, they didn't know it, but their world was about to receive one of the cruelest fates of all.
"...!"
Miss Marvel was taken by surprise and grabbed by the neck, she was the future Captain Marvel, everyone knew how ridiculously powerful she was, but she had been captured really easily. She tried to fight, but she froze when she saw several Avengers on the ground, injured and writhing in pain.
"What's happening?!" Carol looked incredulously at her friends dying around her, it would be a miracle if they only died silently...
Sentry, for his part, was intoxicated; there was a fresh aroma around him, an aroma he hadn't smelled in many years,
It was flesh, blood, it was life... it was food...
Marvel Earth 21-49 and Earth 91-126, condemned universes and vulgarly known as Marvel Zombies...
...
A white flash streaked across the universe; its speed had surpassed light by far, but even so, it didn't seem to be enough.
The cries of his acquaintances flooded the Chat, however, he ignored them all.
His faithful companions remained silent; they had never seen him like this; his face, his gaze, his heart, every part of his master radiated anger, fury, and hatred...
Allen Walker ignored all pleas to leave the universe, even Rick, who normally doesn't care about anything, offered his help to get him out, but he couldn't do it as he could.
Allen was angry...
He saw...
He saw friends and acquaintances become monsters and devour everyone around them; Allen saw Tony tearing Pepper and Happy apart.
The Hulk devoured hundreds, of thousands of people, there were many people he didn't know, but one of the cameras focused on Gwen Stacy... He saw something that will haunt him for the rest of his life...
Allen understood... after all, his Gwen was communicating with him, not by message but by a mental connection, Allen understood, that both girls could share similarities, but at most, someone could say they are sisters because their appearances differ.
Allen understood all that...
But even so, he couldn't contain his anger...
Every minute, every second, thousands of people were being devoured by those who were supposed to be their heroes.
The worst were beings like Quicksilver with his super speed it was a matter of hours to infect all of America, if you give him a day he could infect the world.
Allen was angry... no, he had crossed that line long ago... simply being angry...
*Uatu (The Watcher)'s POV*
I found an impossibility I, who have seen millions of universes be born and perish, I, who have seen the creation and end of so many existences, found a variant that didn't exist in any other universe of our multiverse. This unique variant only existed in one universe.
It was fascinating, almost euphoric, to encounter something new at this level.
I watched the figure dressed in white cross the universe loop; as much as I felt the need to help him, I couldn't. I am only a watcher, just that.
It's incredible, but I didn't even notice his universe until now, but even now I can't see beyond the walls... someone more powerful than us is hiding in their universe...
Allen Walker...
He is someone who shouldn't exist, but does, a young man outside the multiverse that I know, a unique existence...
I'm witnessing an event that shouldn't happen, created by someone who shouldn't exist; if "The Hunger" is released from this loop, it could endanger the multiverse, but... seen from another more optimistic point of view, perhaps this is a ray of hope for two universes condemned to eternal suffering.
"I can't even predict what will happen..."
===
A/N: As the title says, this is an Interlude to show the real danger of the multiverse that Allen has just unlocked. It's not the next arc... The next arc is very likely to be Harry Potter ;3
