With the new system functions acquired, doubts arose in Allen.
"System, why can people only temporarily cross to another universe?"
There shouldn't be anything forcing Natasha to return to Marvel when going to DC. When Nikky did it, she didn't suffer any side effects or something similar, but still, there's that rule.
[Host, there are many dangerous entities that don't like people from the "outside." The system, with the current evolution can only temporarily hide one visitor besides you, but unlike before for a longer time, as long as it doesn't exceed a week you can bring one of your girlfriends to DC and vice versa.]
"I see..."
[I'm sorry for being such a limited system...]
A smile appeared on Allen's face, and he lightly tapped the holographic screen. "Don't worry, hahaha, you're just different. In exchange for starting weak, you have infinite improvement potential. That's incredible!"
Allen has gotten into dangerous and deadly situations since he obtained the system, but he doesn't blame it. Sooner or later, he would know that his world is dangerous, and he appreciates having the power to protect himself and his close ones.
[You make me blush!~ Do you say that to every system you know?~]
*Cough*
Allen coughed embarrassedly upon hearing the system joking in a way similar to what he did against the Russian last boss. Allen shook his head; it's better for his mental stability not to think about such things.
Allen proceeded to open the multiversal map, and there were many red dots and only three in white. It was easy to know that the three highlighted points were the three DC earths he had visited.
In one, he prevented Bruce Wayne from becoming Batman by saving his parents. In another, he helped Batman when he was caught by the Joker. In the third world, he fought against Doomsday.
A very important thing that Allen noticed is that they weren't the same Batmans. The three Bruce Waynes had different faces; the voices of the two adult Batmans were different, and even their build was not the same.
Allen frowned at this fact. He had hoped that each DC land would be an alternate version of the same universe, but that's not the case. Like in Bruce Wayne's case, there are totally different Clark Kents, and they only share the same Superman identity in their universe. So even if Allen got along with the Superman he fought alongside against Doomsday, for Allen, another Superman is a total stranger.
Another important thing is that he could see many universes, hundreds, and only those within reach of the current system. But in his world, DC had only created twenty-six different earths. That means there are too many DC earths that Allen doesn't know, not just fifty-two as he once thought.
Allen pressed one of those red dots, and a white door opened next to him. His heart and mind were calm; he decided to stop seeing everything as the end of the world and to relax more. But without being careless, it's complicated and contradictory, but it's the price of being the ultimate content creator. Allen must face incalculable dangers while ensuring the best entertainment. Allen must provide maximum entertainment even in hell. Besides, he himself is not as serious as he has been acting during the crises. Remember how this story began with him having an anger attack against his troll viewers.
Allen thought for a moment and closed the door. He decided to finish watching the recording before going to DC. So, he sat on the bed this time.
Almost as if sensing his presence, Rebecca crawled sleepily towards him. Allen smiled and picked her up. The girl groaned a bit before snuggling up and continuing to sleep.
...
The recording continued. Yuri lost the fight; however, he gained overwhelming fame worldwide, as well as respect.
On the same day, the Russian president proposed a law to grant rights and citizenship to animals with enough intelligence to interact in human society, following the same laws as humans.
...
Yuri woke up after being treated by Allen with enhanced recovery potions bought from the system. The big bear was frustrated by the defeat but acknowledged Allen's victory.
With a handshake before the world, Allen and Yuri bid farewell. This would be the last time we see Yuri.
"No, it's not like that, Tonyyyy!!!" Allen interrupted the farewell with a shout.
Tony Stark could only sigh and approached Yuri alongside Muhammad Ali. "This is Muhammad Ali, and he is sponsored by Stark Industries as a future professional boxer."
"Huh?!" Ali was surprised because he didn't know anything about it.
"I'm sorry, big guy. Except for Allen, I don't think anyone wants to face you. So, I can only hire you as a member of Ali's training team. Of course, I can find you another job; I'm sure you'll be a formidable bodyguard."
Yuri opened his eyes in shock. "But I lost!"
Tony adjusted his sunglasses. "Don't you want to?"
"It will be a pleasure!" Yuri rejoiced before hugging Tony, making the millionaire's bones crack, and the crowd burst into laughter.
Things with Yuri were resolved, and the bear was happy to work and no longer eat from dumpsters. Additionally, once they obtained their citizenship, other bears would be able to work like any human. However, an important detail was that the improvement Allen used permanently modifies the genetic code, so future generations of bears descended from them will be intelligent.
Is this a good or bad thing?
===
– Whatever, they're just more slaves to society.
Ruby – I wonder what Allen's reaction will be when he finds out he created an intelligent species on Earth? o_o
Nikky – Too bad we probably won't be around to witness it :(
Gwen – ... I'll make sure he doesn't forget his actions ...
===
In the room, Allen felt shivers down his spine. Even if they were just written words, Allen could feel how angry Gwen was, and he knew that MJ and Natasha felt the same way.
Allen had to accept the reality he created. Now, people would have to accept bears walking like humans, working, and paying taxes. However, it wouldn't be very difficult. Strangely, people in this world easily accepted strange things as long as they weren't affected.
Allen sighed, and two hours later, there was another time skip. Allen's eyes widened when he saw that he was no longer in Russia but in Africa, sitting around a fire with a man with many tribal tattoos performing some kind of ritual.
...
....
.....
"What are we doing here?!" Tony shouted, grabbing his head. Somehow, they ended up in Africa with a Shaman.
"Yeah, I have no idea..." Allen leaned back against a dry tree, watching the Shaman. "Just go with the flow. Look, Mr. Shaman looks like a professional."
"Professional in what?!"
Allen shrugged. "I don't know, but he imposes with his attire."
"To hell with this, I give up..." Resigned, Jack grabbed a bowl with some viscous greenish substance given by the locals.
Tony almost vomited at the sight of Jack Black about to eat that. "Are you crazy?!"
Jack raised an eyebrow and looked at Tony disdainfully. "Look, Stark! I've seen documentaries, and if you don't respect these people and the crap they give you, they'll eat you!"
"I don't think they're cannibals..." Tony replied, covering his mouth.
"Ha! Laugh, but when you're hanging over the fire with a stick through your rear end, I'm going to laugh a lot." Jack opened his mouth and swallowed that thing in one gulp.
Tony fell silent for a moment before taking the bowl with the viscous mass and eating it himself. Tony passed out, and Allen and Jack burst into laughter.
...
Time passed, and as the sun set on the horizon, Allen relaxed enough to return to normal. "Ah!..." a wave of memories rushed to his mind at the same time he turned pale, realizing what he had done. "God, they're going to kill me..."
...
In the room, Allen felt strange because he didn't remember coming to his senses at all yesterday. So, he couldn't explain what was happening, as in the recording, it clearly showed how Allen regained consciousness and memories.
...
"Hey~..." the playful voice of a man interrupted the atmosphere. The man was very familiar and carried two bags of weed in his hands, showing them to everyone. "Want some?"
"You! What are you doing in Africa?!" Allen exclaimed, remembering the guy who gave him that strange drink at the party; Snoop Dogg himself was standing in front of them.
"Calm down, homie" Snoop Dogg took out a cigarette and lit it, then smoked leisurely before looking at Allen. "I woke up in a trunk, couldn't get out, so I smoked a bit until I fell asleep and, well, woke up here..."
The guy sounded more relaxed than a lady after going to a spa, but Allen knew how ridiculous Snoop Dogg's words were. He literally had been in Jack's trunk the whole time. Wait... Everyone looked at Jack cautiously.
"No, wait, I didn't put him in there!" Jack defended himself, knowing that everyone thought he had kidnapped someone.
"It's suspicious. In fact, he was the first to leave in the morning..." Mohamed Ali commented, distancing himself from Jack.
While they argued, Snoop Dogg sat next to Allen and took out a box where he stored paper for homemade cigarettes. He prepared one and smoked.
"I had work to do, so I left at dawn, and so what!" Jack felt upset about the misunderstanding. Then he noticed a detail and pointed at Ali. "Right, Ali, you're not someone who would be at those parties, so why were you there?"
"No, I just worked in the parking lot! Someone mistook me for a guest, and before I knew it, I was being forced to drink from a beer barrel!"
"Calm down, buddys" Allen interrupted the argument and laughed. "We can discuss who's a serial killer, who's a psychopath, or we can enjoy Snoop Dogg's weed, hahaha."
"..." no one laughed at Allen's words.
Tony grabbed Allen from behind. "No, it's one thing if you take a drink, but if you get into some shit, you know who, will castrate you!"
Allen laughed. "It was just a joke, Tony– Ugh?!"
Allen was just joking; he would never smoke herbs or take some strange substance unless by accident. But while Tony held him, Snoop Dogg gave Allen more of his magical drink.
Allen's gaze became strange, and Tony shouted furiously at Snoop Dogg. They struggled a lot to get Allen back to his senses, and once again, they lost him.
Snoop Dogg noticed everyone's annoyance and raised his hands. "Relax homie, this thing is not a drug or anything. It's made with a mix of exotic herbs and a bit of poison. Of course, for us, it would be dangerous, but for someone like him, it's just a drink that puts him in a good mood."
Jack grabbed Snoop Dogg by the neck. "Damn bastard! I was almost accused of kidnapping people, and now you come to poison Allen. Are you crazy?!"
"No... I'm high," replied Snoop Dogg.
"..."
...
Allen turned off the recording; he could guess what happened next without looking. Allen did some foolish things in Japan and somehow his pants ended up in a ladies' academy.
Allen sighed in his room with Rebecca still in his arms. He must endure the consequences of his actions, including the anger of his girlfriends and the bad reputation this has generated. However, Allen wasn't in the mood for that now, not with a headache, so he opened a door to DC and adjusted the time so that one day would be equivalent to one hour in this world.
By doing that, if Allen does a live-stream, the boring parts will be automatically cut to match the time difference between the two worlds.
It's necessary to do it. Allen doesn't want Rebecca to wake up and find him gone. Allen doesn't know the emotional state of the girls; they might think he abandoned them or something.
So he must clear his mind, decide how he is going to act from now on and come back to face the consequences of his actions.
