Chapter 353 - 353 The Boys: Brave Rescue, A Girl's Tears, Stan Edgar's Final Bet and Warhammer 40k: The Four Gods of Chaos.

(Underwater facilities)

Deep unwittingly brought the enemies to Alice, a fatal error, but this time it's not entirely his fault. No one in their right mind could imagine that a cat is an enemy spy infiltrating to rescue a hostage.

Deep may come across as foolish and seemingly useless, but his power is formidable in the sea where other Supes are ineffective. It's a pity that this image played against Vought this time; if only they had informed Deep of the mission, he wouldn't have brought Lord Meowington and Timcampy to Alice.

"Lord Meowington!!"

Alice shouted with joy upon seeing the cat enter the door.

"What?"

Alex was surprised to see his daughter's cat in this place. He was about to say something when Deep also entered.

"The Deep?"

"Good morning, I found your daughter's cat looking for her, so I decided to bring him here..."

"Huh?! How? why?! What do you mean?!"

Deep's words made no sense: They were in the middle of the sea, how could Lord Meowington appear so casually? Even if, miraculously, the cat had secretly followed them, hiding in their car, they flew in a helicopter there; how could a cat get there?

Aside from that, how did Deep know it was Alice's cat?

Alice's father had too many questions, and the biggest of all was why the superhero in front of him continued to smile stupidly as if expecting to be congratulated or something!

...

Lord Meowington glared sharply and hostilely at Alex from the start; he was careless, thinking that even a man like this, who had no qualms about experimenting on animals, would have mercy on his own daughter.

It was not so...

'Mr. Tim, please...' whispered Lord Meowington.

Timcampy immediately acted, putting Alice's hand in his mouth.

"What? Haha, that tickles..."

Lord Meowington put his paw in Alice's mouth and she immediately understood that they needed to be silent.

Timcampy had a spatial storage inside his stomach, similar to an inventory.

He removed the bracelet from Alice, which was a bomb. He proceeded to do the same with the device on her ankle; the neck was more complicated but with Timcampy there, there was nothing to worry about.

[Tim, you can bite the clasp, it seems to release a powerful poison... it's dangerous. Also, the collar is a sonic bomb that would turn someone's head to mush if it goes off... but it works remotely, and I've already blocked the signal from the detonator; you can break it too.]

Tim immediately bit and ate the clasp in Alice's hair, then did the same with the collar.

In twenty seconds, four devices had been neutralized...

[Okay, we can get Alice out... wait, there's one more device, it's lodged in Alice's stomach, it's a vacuum bomb... how cruel...]

Lord Meowington said with concern. "Alice, could you swallow Mr. Tim like a pill?"

Timcampy shrunk to the size of a pill and landed in Alice's hand.

"Haha, how fun~"

Alice was excited; she had played with Timcampy several times but he had never changed size so many times.

"Huh? Lord Meowington, did you just talk?"

"There's no time, Alice, I'll explain later!"

Alice's eyes sparkled hearing her cat talk, but her trust in Lord Meowington stopped her from making a scene and she immediately swallowed Tim.

Timcampy quickly went down to the stomach and located the last deadly device...

Alice coughed and Tim came out...

...

(Who knew the day would be saved by a cat and a golden snitch with teeth 🍷🗿)

...

"How can you bring a cat to this place and not doubt the circumstances?!" Alex grabbed Deep's clothes in irritation.

"I thought it came with you guys and got separated..."

"Idiot! Do you know the mission?!" Alex began to sense that something was not right.

"What's going on?" Sage's voice resonated in the room, she had been paying attention elsewhere but also had staff monitoring what was happening; the fact that Deep entered the special containment room alarmed everyone.

Alex sighed and calmed down, thinking about it, it wasn't so serious, "Deep brought a cat to this place..."

"Huh, idiots, that cat is the enemy!!"

Of course, Sage would know that Lord Meowington had spent as much time at Allen's house as with Alice. He's an intelligent cat, too intelligent, and when Sage investigated, she discovered certain irregularities, such as Alex obtained him from one of Vought's laboratories.

That was before they decided to completely end animal experiments with Compound V and use it directly on humans.

Alex and Deep turned to see a white door opening.

"DEEP! STOP THEM!" Sage yelled with all her strength.

Losing Alice means losing influence over Allen; even if the plan succeeded only partially, Allen is still not dead, and Alice might be the only thing preventing the destruction of Vought.

Deep trembled with fear at Sage's scream, immediately obeyed, and ran towards Alice, even if he hadn't fully understood what was happening, he might have made another grave error.

Alice also didn't understand what was happening, but Lord Meowington pulled her dress with his mouth from the ground, and Timcampy attacked Deep. Timcampy stuck to Deep's face like chewing gum.

"Hey, you can't do this, I trusted you!" Deep complained to Timcampy, feeling betrayed. However, from start to finish, Lord Meowington didn't lie about anything; he came to look for his princess/owner, and that happened, whether she was kidnapped is something Deep didn't ask and just assumed she was a guest.

Deep was about to reach Alice, but from the door appeared Starlight, who was brought by the system to help Alice. Noticing this, Timcampy moved away from Deep.

Deep paled upon seeing Starlight; she said nothing but gave him an annoyed look and immediately used her powers to hit Deep with an energy attack.

Deep flew and crashed into a reinforced wall, then slid down to the ground unconscious.

"Are you okay, Alice?"

"Yes... thank you, Sister Annie..."

Annie noticed Alice looked despondent; she was a smart girl, and after seeing the situation, understood she had been kidnapped, and the culprit was her own father.

Annie felt sad and crouched down to hug Alice. "Everything will be okay; I'll take you to your mom!"

"Alice, you can't leave, Dad needs you!"

Alex knew he couldn't stop Alice from being rescued, but if he let Alice go, he was as good as dead.

Annie was filled with rage, but before she could shout words Alice shouldn't hear, the girl pulled away from Annie and looked at her father.

"Dad... can I ask you something?"

"Anything, darling, but come with Dad!"

"Why did you bring Alice to this place?"

"It was to give you..." Alex saw his daughter's penetrating gaze, devoid of her usual innocence, "I did it because my boss asked me to, Alice, don't worry, nothing would happen to you, you'd just come to play for a while and then we'd go back to mom..."

"So it wasn't because you wanted to spend time together?"

"I..."

"What are those things you put on Alice, and why was Lord Meowington so scared when you put them on?"

"That's..."

"Why are there so many dangerous people here? Why is Alice locked up in this place? Why can't I contact mom?"

"..."

"Dad... when was the last time you thought of me as anything more than a problem?"

"..."

Alex wanted to answer, but he couldn't; he never wanted children. He's still a young man who enjoys traveling the world, going to Vegas in autumn, getting lost in Europe in spring, and going to Hawaii in summer, he loves the excesses that so-called money brings, which is why, no matter how beautiful his wife is, when she gave him a daughter at such a young age, he began to resent her.

He couldn't help it; he worked hard to be a successful man. He doesn't want children or responsibilities; he wants to travel in a Ferrari with a different model every week...

Alex couldn't respond with words, but Alice understood.

"Alice!"

Alice refused to cry and simply turned around, took Annie's hand, and walked toward the portal.

Annie clenched her teeth with extreme anger; if Alice weren't here, she felt she would have killed Alex Winter. She knows what it's like for a girl to be treated as an object by her parents, and she knows that for innocent Alice, this is worse.

...

(Vought Tower)

Stan Edgar tapped his finger on the table feeling impatient and even nervous.

'There's no time left... if the Omega Compound didn't kill him, that means Allen Walker will emerge invincible...'

Malchemical still hasn't managed to enter Allen's body, and with each passing second, the chances of that happening diminish.

*Gunshots*

*Explosion*

The gunfire was getting closer. At Stan Edgar's request, the elevators were destroyed, so Kimiko and Cate could only ascend via the stairs.

This gave Stan more time, but not much, as he only had normal guards left to buy time.

Stanford Edgar looked at the door to his office with cold eyes; he had little time left here too. The CIA and government's attack on all Vought facilities made it impossible to call for reinforcements.

'I don't mind paying with my life, but I need more time...'

Time was limited, and Stan Edgar felt pressured.

Stan Edgar took out a sample of Compound V from a drawer. He had used this thing on many people; for some, it was a miracle, but it also turned many into monsters or ruined their lives with this Compound V.

Stan Edgar took a syringe and drew the sample from the blue vial; why Stan Edgar would use blue and not green, (the V24 has a green color and is safer).

The reason is simple Allen risked his life with the Omega Compound; Stan Edgar can't expect to kill someone like him if he doesn't risk everything on it; that's why Stan Edgar chose a pure sample of the blue. If he dies in the process, that's fine.

"You can't kill him without being willing to lose everything in the process..."

Stan Edgar injected himself with the Compound V and leaned back in his chair.

"It might be the last time I breathe... but I would like to live a little longer until the game is over..."

Stan Edgar has always despised the outcome of Compound V because it was imperfect, but he used it; even if he survives, he would be like a "defective product," and that is a great irony for the great Stanford Edgar.

"Haha... It's fine..."

Stan Edgar has no limits when it comes to doing something for his own goals...

"I am aware that my actions are horrible, inhumane, and unpleasant... that's why I will not ask for mercy... Urgh!"

Stan opened his eyes while the veins in his body bulged, his body was wracked with enormous pain as his bones broke and reformed. His organs seemed to collapse, break apart, and regenerate.

Stan Edgar was experiencing excruciating pain, the same kind he and Vought had inflicted for many years.

Blood started to stream from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. Stan Edgar had resisted the pain but could no longer.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

...

(Everything bad that happens to Stan Edgar deserves it 🍷🗿)

...

(Warhammer 40k)

The Emperor is a man revered as the pinnacle of all humanity, its cornerstone, its sole King, its only god, his hope against a sick and cruel world that constantly tries to eradicate humanity.

The Emperor recently gained access to a different world, one whose existence is not related to his own...

The Emperor sighed more than once genuinely; he knew that unlike the miserable fate awaiting humanity in his world, the sky could shine in the worlds that Allen visits, thanks to him...

The Emperor felt respect for that, even if his ideals and thoughts don't always approve of Allen's actions, he does not influence Allen's decisions, merely observes and allows him to follow his ideals... As a result, the time came when Allen inevitably faced an enormous obstacle, one that could consume him regardless of whether he won or lost.

The Emperor knows his own future, and his fate is condemned to a perpetual agonizing death so that the humanity of his world can survive; he does not reject it...

The Emperor has never doubted his convictions and methods but respects something different from his thoughts...

The emperor looked at 2B, but he did not like it when Allen accepted 2B... but now... the devotion and loyalty shown by this android called 2B made the emperor reconsider his opinion about artificially intelligent beings.

"An android... worthy..."

Before knowing Allen, the Emperor could never have imagined, or rather, it was not written that the day would come when he would give his approval to an artificial being, a mechanical being... after all, they tried to destroy the humanity of Warhammer.

The Emperor sighed...

...

Behind the Emperor, without his knowledge, four entities were secretly watching along with him.

"What a coincidence to start observing the Emperor... had we not done so, we would not have witnessed such a delight in combat..." the chaos god Tzeentch looked on with interest and great approval of the battle.

Tzeentch is known as the Changer of Ways, the God of magic, intrigue, and change. He represents ambition and the desire for change and manipulation, often associated with plans and conspiracies.

From his perspective, Allen's existence is a trigger for universal change; if his existence reaches this world, nothing will ever be the same; for someone like him, that would be a dream come true even if the price ends up being enormous.

"NOO! WHY?! EVERYTHING WAS GOING SO WELL?! WHY DID THEY USE MAGIC?!" the screams of the chaos god Khorne interrupted Tzeentch's thoughts.

Khorne is the God of bloodshed, war, and combat; for this entity, the battle had been a work of art between two warriors who had reached the pinnacle of power, it was simply beautiful, although he thinks it would have been better if it unfolded in a living universe so that there would be more blood, but it was fine.

Unfortunately for Khorne, Allen and Void possess magic and are very skilled at it.

Khorne despises the use of magic and values melee combat, believing that true power lies in physical strength and courage in battle.

"Weren't you crying a minute ago while supporting Void... then Allen, and then Void again?" Tzeentch sighed disdainfully.

"AHHH! BUT... BUT..."

Khorne felt conflicted, unlike Tzeentch, he had a hard time accepting that such caliber warriors were also experts in magic.

People wouldn't know what to say if they saw Khorne in this state, yet in truth, he acted as if he had been moved; whether that was possible or not was another matter.

"Ah🖤~" Slaanesh let out a deep sigh/moan; it was the hundredth time "reached the top" watching Allen and Void.

Slaanesh the Prince of Pleasure, is the God of excess, hedonism, and depravity. It represents the perpetual quest for gratification and extreme experiences, whether of pain or pleasure. Generally depicted as androgynous or hermaphroditic, combining male and female characteristics. This duality reflects his domain over all aspects of excess and pleasure.

It is a depraved and corrupt creature that enjoys corrupting highly moral and pure beings, for Slaanesh more than Void, the desire to corrupt Allen has been hallucinating since the beginning of the battle.

"Those eyes, that soul, that heart... I would like to lock him in a room to have him for eternity🖤~"

Nurgle sighed; the last of the four chaos gods is a kindly soul and does not wish for Allen and even Void to fall into the hands of his counterparts...

"Slaanesh, stop your bizarre ideas... those children could kill you..." Nurgle tried to stop the obsession that was forming in Slaanesh.

"Hehe ~ that's also fine, infinite pleasure is linked to infinite pain!~ is there a greater pleasure than being killed for eternity?~"

Nurgle the Lord of Decay, is the God of disease, decay, despair, and reanimation. Despite his repulsive nature, he is portrayed as a paternal figure, a dispenser of pain that offers relief through the acceptance of his "gift."

But even in his twisted way of seeing the world, of course, twisted in the eyes of others who do not understand his love, he wishes for a better world where everyone stops suffering, where everyone can breathe easily, and where this world full of pain changes for the better...

"If little Allen accepted my gift, he could fulfill my dream..."

The other chaos gods looked at Nurgle in surprise.

"I expected you to show more interest in Void, after all, he would have more affinity with you..." Tzeentch was intrigued by Nurgle's words.

Nurgle shook his head, "No, that seeks only death, only destruction does not seek a better world for anyone, and most likely it will destroy everything in its path... he would never accept the embrace of decay and disease, even the despair he causes is momentary and without relief at the end..."

Among the four chaos gods, there was more interest in Allen than in Void. That creature has no attachment to anything, unlike Allen who loves and is loved.

...

The Emperor frowned and contacted Rick through a private Chat.

A fact that is sometimes forgotten is that most people do not use the keyboard to write in the Chat, just speaking and thinking to send a message, and the system takes care of translating it; that's why often comments are so expressive, whether Rick's *burp* or the hearts in Aphrodite's comments.

"Rick Sanchez... I need a favor..."

"Hahaha... wait, are you serious?! Oh! That... is unexpected... yeah, why not? Tell me what you want, golden man!"

"Are you?"

"Yes, I'm drunk and maybe high, not sure! *Burp*"

"I see... I want you to create a gene seed for Allen, the best, and give it to him..."

"I see... certainly it would be restricted in your world... are you worried that a human-like him ends up on the side of the chaos gods?"

"..."

"Hahaha, you worry too much! But okay, I'll do it... but it will cost you!"

"No matter..."

The Emperor ended the conversation and remained silent; in his infinite wisdom, he was aware that if Allen came, it would be when he could no longer respond... at that time when the Emperor would only exist without death and without life.

The Emperor closed his eyes and fell into a deep silence...

A/N: The endings where I show other worlds are more intended for those who have some knowledge of the world in question, I apologize if they seem a bit confusing for those who know nothing about those worlds, if I ever write about them in arc format I will do it in a way that a beginner can enjoy and understand.
