[Anthony's POV]
"You know, your ideas are quite... dark."
I remarked upon hearing Hermione's intention to perform a ritual with the body of this "Cthulhu".
It was already dead and decapitated, with the ocean in that area stained with a huge amount of red blood, but it had lain on a magical vein for thousands of years.
This made it a valuable alchemical ingredient and suitable for various rituals.
"Well, is that really bad? I mean, I did save people in a sense. What if it had emerged and started causing havoc?"
Hermione shrugged with a suitable excuse.
"I don't mind. Need help moving it somewhere?"
I asked, and Hermione nodded after a moment of thought.
I shrunk the monster's body to a manageable size and transported it to the Siberian forest.
After that, we focused on the Dragon Veins, and I helped normalize the planet's magical background.
Then Hermione and I simply strolled through the magical world.
...
I eventually returned to my own world...
I used to spend a lot of time with each of my girlfriends and friends I've made.
I also spent time with Barry and Clark. They were the only male friends that I had.
There was also Billy, like Shazam, but more like a younger brother who needs looking after.
He also joined the League and became one of the heroes defending Earth.
Moreover, he didn't refuse to help his foster parents when I suggested it.
Billy is a brilliant boy who earned so much money working for LexCorp... his parents were shocked but coped with it.
Interestingly, recently, when Kara helped Batgirl with the criminal known as the "Calculator," who escaped from prison and sought revenge on those who put him there — namely, Night Huntress and Batgirl — he teamed up with several dangerous meta-humans and the mafia to divert attention from himself.
I found it interesting that Kara recently helped Batgirl with a criminal known as the "Calculator."
Calculator broke out of jail and wanted revenge at Night Huntress and Batgirl.
He worked with some dangerous metahumans and the mafia to hide his true intentions.
In the end, Kara's arrival ruined all of his plans.
After that, Batman himself approached the two of them and wanted to meet with me which was unexpected.
The conversation went... well, not bad. He wanted more information about the recent breach from Hell and to join the League.
Bruce himself had long considered such an option despite not liking some of our radical actions involving the killing of enemies.
He couldn't deny that we're protecting the planet.
I didn't mind sharing some information, like what caused the recent events... and during the conversation, I sensed fear in him.
He tried to hide it, but it was terrifying to know that there were beings that could destroy the whole Solar System with a sneeze and to be sitting next to one.
The situation worsened, but he quickly calmed down, and I gave him an earpiece to talk to Cortana.
We already know his hiding place, and he knows it too.
The Green Lanterns buzzed around our system like bees from a disturbed hive while trying to figure out what had happened.
I think the Guardians were troubled by what happened, but they're unlikely to find the culprit... but I kept an eye on them so they wouldn't do anything stupid.
A month went by slowly, and soon, it would be time for Lena and my wedding.
We didn't need to delay it as magic resolved many issues.
Everything was prepared in the Fourth Heaven, also known as the Garden of Eden, where the Tree of Life is located.
Fourth Heaven
"There are so many powerful beings here."
Winter said, looking out the mansion window where gods and satans dressed the bride.
"Are you ready?"
Erina entered the room in a turquoise dress to assess the readiness of her friends especially the bride.
"From your face, I can tell Administrator-kun got to you, right?"
Shinoa teased, addressing Hermione.
"Hermione, Lena's wedding with Tony is today. Don't spoil people's mood."
Rias snapped.
"No, I'm also curious."
Lena said, looking at Erina through the mirror where she stood.
"Well... um, we just talked."
She said, blushing.
"Uh-huh, just talked..."
Shinoa snapped her fingers, and a hologram appeared in the center of the room showing Tony being affectionate with her.
"Let's change the subject."
Rias rolled her eyes.
"What do you think about the world of Evil Cultivators? Should we try to help people there?"
"There are many valuable materials there. I think establishing our Foundation there wouldn't be a bad idea."
Winter voiced her opinion.
"We'll deal with that after the celebration..."
Lena said with some noticeable excitement.
"Maybe a different dress?"
"Everything fits you perfectly; Administrator-kun will love it."
Shinoa complimented her appearance.
"It would be even better without clothes, but that's for the celebration's grand finale..."
"Guess who's here! The cutest and clearly better than Gabriel, the magical girl Levi-tan!"
Serafall jumped into the room.
"I've prepared a few scenes already and came to see how you all are doing."
The holiness of Heaven would have burned even Satan badly here, but he took care of that problem since the Biblical called the people together.
The gods had their own conversations.
Odin cast a disdainful glance at several angels and at Gabriel herself.
Thor laughed loudly and drank with some other gods.
"Do you feel nervous?"
Clark asked me.
The news of our wedding surprised both Clark and his parents, who were sitting somewhere at the table.
"Not really. I feel there will be several such events in the next decade. How about you? Has Lois decided to tie the knot with you yet?"
"Well..."
He hesitated.
"Once she found out I'm Superman, she caused a scandal because she couldn't believe I hadn't told her for so long. Then we made up, but there's no talk of a wedding yet."
"Good luck with that."
"You're the one who needs luck... why so many girlfriends?"
He shook his head and went over to Barry at the table.
Barry initially felt uncomfortable here because he lost connection with the Speed Force.
Soon, the moment arrived... after performances by Serafall and Gabriel.
Lena came out in her wedding dress, looking only at me.
At that moment, it seemed to me that time stood still... maybe I just overthought it, so everything stopped for me.
The ceremony was great due to the many gods who simply couldn't afford not to come.
I still remember how I almost subdued them all.
We stood facing each other, speaking our vows aloud and coming together in a tender and loving kiss.
The guests were cheering somewhere in the background, but we were lost in each other at that moment.
"I love you..."
Lena's tender embrace told me everything I needed.
The next few hours were spent talking with the gods, guests, and girls, and then... the wedding night began.
"I'm not the only one excited, right?"
I said, stroking her beautiful curves.
"Our first wedding night, and we are now officially husband and wife... in this world, anyway."
She didn't even try to hide the joyful tone in her voice.
"The main thing is that you are happy."
I said and looked across the dimension to see what the gods were doing there and what they were talking about.
And... well, they had already decided to conclude a "Universal Peace" fearing that the Bible races led by me might attack them for some reason.
"You can't imagine how happy I am!"
She suddenly jumped up and shouted these words like a little girl.
"Oh, if only our parents could see us... brother and sister become husband and wife. So much has happened..."
"And a lot more will happen. Something ends, something begins..."
I pulled her onto my lap to enjoy each other's presence.
We then moved on to a sweet wedding night.
I was excited by the rhythmic movements of the hips, Lena's voluptuous moans, and the knowledge that we are now husband and wife.
I was now trying to dump this excitement into her who had been with me from the beginning, even without strength, money, and a big name.
"In me... come in me... and don't protect yourself with magic."
She said with a groan.
"Are you sure?"
I stopped even for a second from the process and shook her hips with displeasure.
"Y-yes... you said that because of the difference in strength, it's one to one thousandth, right?
"Yes, but I can use my powers to ensure a hundred percent chance of pregnancy..."
"L-let's just leave it to fate."
She pleaded, leaving me no choice but to comply.
The chance of getting pregnant for her was indeed not a hundred percent due to the difference in our strengths and my Dark Side.
Fate spoke its word a few months later... when we discovered Lena was pregnant.
However, I wasn't as worried about it anymore. I had immense power and several worlds to escape to in case of unforeseen events.
My relationships with Rias, Hermione, and Shinoa became even more trusting, and their love blossomed again, but it seemed like it could go further.
Winter continued to fulfill her "duty" to protect Remnant and improve it by all possible means.
She had no time for relationships, but I felt her heart wanted tenderness, and she might want to join our circle with Erina.
Erina achieved great success in the cuisine of her world and... found a portal to the food world where those three super beings were.
The chat was also joined by new faces... namely Salem.
She agreed to help people from other worlds through the Chat.
It may be driven by a sense of guilt towards all the lives she had engulfed.
After all, the darkness that had enveloped her nature for so long began to weaken after the death of the Dark God.
The RWBY team also learned about other worlds... from Shinoa.
This troublemaker spent time in Winter's world, and the girls made her open up.
However, there was nothing serious about it.
As for the Chat... it got an update.
It was unexpected for me too, and it hadn't yet unlocked all its capabilities.
It has been updated, and we can choose "Missions" ourselves, scattered across different corners of the Omniverse.
Clark, Barry, and Billy joined the Chat, as did other members of the League of Defenders.
Even Raven, with whom I am also slowly but surely getting closer. There were many worlds and missions, so it was quite good.
I eventually accumulated enough Chat Points and acquired the Anti-Life Equation and the Life Equation, further strengthening my connection with some of the main forces of this universe.
Anti-Crisis Energy and Crisis gave an understanding of the universe in its current form.
Life Force from the White Ring and Tears of Extinction from Poseidon's weapon, Emotional Spectrum, and Invisible Spectrum, including Ultraviolet, which I could absorb from a planet representing the entire Ultraviolet Spectrum.
Also, the Speed Force and the Still Force.
These forces were the easiest for me to understand and analyze, and with them, I was able to step... beyond the realms of ordinary gods.

"Do you think about what to do next?"
Dee-Dee appeared beside me while looking with interest at the Source Wall that I was also staring at.
It contained many powerful beings, including Perpetua herself.
I could feel her power from here, and it was strong enough to erase me with a snap of her fingers.
"Yes. The Source is still beyond my control..."
"Do you need even more power?"
She inquired curiously.
"I..."
In my mind appeared Lena, already pregnant, Shinoa, Hermione, Kara, Rias, Diana, Zatanna, and even Talia, along with everyone else who managed to penetrate my heart.
"Not just for power, exactly. You might not believe it, but I need this to protect people and those close to me..."
I glanced at one of the timers.

"I believe you."
Death said.
"You know that Nekron will soon appear, right?"
"Yeah, but he's not the problem."
"Oh, in another universe, he nearly destroyed everyone. I had a lot of work there."
She informed me.
"But here, there's you."
She chuckled.
Hermione Granger: Does anyone know if there's any of that delicious fish left?
Erina Nakiri: No, it's all been eaten. But I recently visited that world and obtained some good Royal Shark meat, which is also quite good.
Clark Kent: Can I have a piece?! Lois took mine last time...
Rias Gremory: We need to eat quickly :)
Shinoa Hiragi: Or make her pass out in the bedroom and then eat calmly...
Winter Schnee: No comment.
Lena Luthor: Has anyone seen Tony?
Zatanna: He's probably disappearing into some other dimension or doing something even crazier... crazier than battling a huge shark capable of destroying a planet.
Erina Nakiri: Well, it's a good thing that the planet there is huge, and the ground is stronger.
Kara: I think I see a ship approaching our planet that looks like a giant skull.
Cortana: That's Brainiac. Should we destroy him with the Death Star?
Lena Luthor: Maybe it wasn't the best idea for Tony to bring out that weapon...
Kara: Brainiac?! He could have my parents!
Diana: Do you need help?
Cortana: It seems Batman has noticed too, and is already contacting me...
Barry Allen: I feel sorry for the guy... he just wants to help us too.
Cortana: Then let's stop gathering information on each of us to destroy... I already have three billion two hundred eighty million and thirty-two thousand scenarios on destroying him. I just don't tell everyone about it.
Lena Luthor: ...
Rias Gremory: ...
Shinoa Hiragi: (.) (.)
Hermione Granger: Are those eyes?..
Shinoa Hiragi: ...
Raven: ...
Shinoa Hiragi: Oh, what people! Come over to me?! Let's play...
"Yes, I'm here. Alright, I have to go. I need to fulfill an old promise to Kara and save her parents."
I said aloud, throwing a final glance at the Source Wall.
It's a good reminder that even beings much stronger than me are not immortal and capable of losing.
In this world, there is also the Reverse Man from another dimension, Darkseid and his army, Anti-Monitor, Superboy-Prime, Dax Novu or Mandrakk, Lords of Chaos, Trigon, and various fanatics jumping from other universes.
Additionally, Circe wants to reclaim her soul and sacrifice the "symbols" of this era, namely Superman, Wonder Woman, and myself, for that... this malicious lady is practically inviting trouble.
I must deal with all this because... all it takes is one bad day.
I don't want to allow that bad day to happen, so I need to keep moving forward on the chosen path.
Soon, I will have a daughter with Lena... after that, I'm more than sure some of my lovers will also want children.
Additionally, Gabriel has been giving me looks these past few days when I was in that world... sigh.
But despite everything I've already been through and what I'll face in the future, I have no regrets.
On the contrary, if I hadn't ended up here, I wouldn't have Lena, Zatanna, Kara, Diana, and everyone else.
I would have lived an average person's gray and mundane life, but I already possess power beyond ordinary human understanding here.
It's wonderful to teleport wherever you want or change the landscape just by wishing.
I'm lucky that I was chosen there initially, but... even now, I don't know if I'll ever meet the one who gave me Gacha.
Just in case, I've already prepared if Gacha suddenly disappears, well, or Chat. So... I need to help Kara with her parents.
A figure appeared in the endless cosmos near the Source Wall, where there were recently super-entities like Death and Anthony.
No one was able to notice it, no matter how hard they tried, across this entire multiverse and others.
"Well, this one didn't become a madman. Although without Gacha, many of his reflections did become such... power corrupts, as does weak will."
The figure said, standing above all.
"Although his sister always tried to bring him to his senses... important moments. Kitsune was right about this Gacha and acquiring powers through it. Thus, the number of light forces capable of reaching the metaversal level has increased... who's next on the list?"
He simply stood there, gazing thoughtfully into emptiness, and quietly disappeared.
Life goes on, possibly endlessly long.
As they say, something ends, something begins.
The end of one story is the beginning of another.
THE END.
...
Anthony's story has come to an end.
Thank you to everyone who has been with me this year and even longer.
Honestly, the story wasn't planned to be this big, but looking back, I wonder how much bigger it could have been if I had included Chat and Gacha.
It was my first experiment with different universes and worlds, so I learned as I went along.
There are many things that could have been done differently, especially at the beginning, but... what's done is done.
Of course, it could have been continued, many DC plotlines not mentioned, and other worlds introduced, but that could continue indefinitely.
A conclusion was needed before I grew tired of the work and abandoned it completely.
