Chapter 265 – The Other Champions 8

  Rao-Jil POV - The Orville Universe, Moclus - 2421

  I'm flying through space with General Zod and the other Kryptonian Warriors following behind me, heading directly toward the small disgusting dirt brow in the distance, sidering how far it is and how fast we are flying, I think that we will arrive at our destination in around 30 minutes or so.

  Even from this distance, I already see that the p's surface is entirely industrialized and most of the structures sist almost exclusively of industrial factories and huge urbaropolises.

  Because of this, the atmosphere of the p is covered in a heavy smog so dehat it makes a's air seem almost pure pared to it, suinated air makes the p difficult for the non-indigenous race to actually live in this harsh enviro, in addition, the only areas of the p not dominated by industry are the les of mountains.

  The name of this p is Moclus and from the information that our "allies" gave us, Mos are nearly all male, but there are some rumors that females of the species do exist but are quite rare and more often than not executed or "fixed" at birth, ae being a single-gendered species, Mos took mates, which means that it is a species of fags and proud of it.

  Mo is the assigarget given to me by Grindor, the leader of the bined forces of Preda ai, Agent of Uni, and more importantly Champion of Power, the ohat I faced in my first Random Battle and forced me to surrender, mostly thanks to that terrible p-sized entity that he serves.

  I 't help but shudder a little as I remember my first enter with Grindor and his army of Deceptis and Predas and more importantly the first enter with the being called Uni that happened during the Random Battle.

  At first, everything was fine because as soon as I was teleported to the universe where the Random Battle would take pce, a universe called Ma Universe whatever that means, the first thing I did was bring out General Zod and the other Kryptonian Warriors that swore fealty out of my Soulbouory and ordered them to search the world that looked like a perfect copy of the Earth I'm familiar with for information about the new universe and the other Champion sure of the overwhelming advantage we had a superior rabsp;

  My soldiers were quite effit as they quickly found out many iing pieces of information about this world, the most iing of all was some news about a bunch of people mysteriously ing back from the dead or something like that.

  But then, without any warning, Grindor and his forces started a series of random attacks revealing themselves to us, and in response, we didn't hesitate to fight back.

  During the first few battles, my soldiers and I were quite successful, easily disposing of all the robots that opposed us, easily ripping them apart with our superior bodies and powers.

  But then, we learhat those were only scout forces whose direct fighting abilities were nothing exceptional, and when the main forces came onto us, they were much more threatning as they were able to damage and even kill us Kryptonians if we weren't careful, but even with that, our forces were still superior in both numbers and capabilities, so I thought that my victory would be ensured.

  And at that point, it happened, Grindht out a device that I ter learned is called the Trans Key, a powerful device that allows entities to travel between time and space with astonishing ease, to the point that what seems to be a challenge, even an impossibility in terms of traveling distance even fods, has bee nothing more than a short distao travel.

  Grindor used the Trans Key to allow the ing of Uni, ay so powerful that even I felt an ant in front of it, ay whose sole goal is to e everything.

  I only needed one single exge with that entity to realize that fighting against it was a truly useless effort, and so I decisively chose to surrender in exge for allowing me and my men to live, and so, I lost my Blessing and became nothing more than a mere pawn for a stronger being.

  At first, the reason why we came to this universe was quite simple, Grindor wao feed and keep Uni happy by it as many universes as possible, but then he ged his mind as in this universe lives a race of se maes that be quite useful for us and so, he chose to domihis universe instead of it to Uni.

  I'm talking about the Kaylon, a species of artificial lifeforms from the p Kaylon 1 that regarded themselves as superior to biological life.

  The Kaylon were structed by a species known only as the "Builders," a biological people who sidered them to be sves and trolled them via pain simutors, but when the Kaylon became self-aware, they violently overthrew and killed all Builders.

  Once free, Kaylon developed their world to the point of teological exhaustio became necessary to ize other worlds, and during this stage, they maintained a cautious diplomatic staoward the Pary Union and other worlds and ielr govers.

  Eventually, the Kaylon decided that biological lifeforms were predisposed to trol others as the Builders had, and in early 2421, the Kaylon, led by Kaylon Primary, resolved, "As the Kaylon tio expand into the gaxy, we will not risk a recurrence of such eventuality."

  Of course, Gridor took advantage of the stance of this race t it us wing, after all, their teology is quite advanced even for our standards.

  Their Spheres possessed a hull that could not be peed by our vision and the Transformers' ser, with their particle on ons being strong enough to disable the Transformers' bodies with a handful of shots, and the Kaylon's head ons were strong enough that a direct bst could leave even a Kryptonian needing immediate medical attention.

  For these reasons, we are helping our new "allies" quer this universe aerminate all biological life in it.

  As I look at the ugly brow getting bigger as we get closer, I 't help but frown while thinking, 'I 't believe I'm again forced to work under another dumbass only because he has literally the bigger fist. At least, I'm slowly earning his trust and goodwill by giving him small suggestions from time to time and making him believe that those are his ideas. You know the good old ass-lig, the bread and butter way to advan any political situation.'

  Then a smirk forms on my face as I reassure myself, 'And more importantly, it isn't like all hope is lost. This is just a small setback, after all, even if I lost my Blessing at the moment, nothing stops me from gaining it again by taking someone else Blessing for myself... Even more so when the longer we Kryptonians live the stronger we bee as we get exposed to the rays of the various yellow suns and one day we will be able to bee strong enough to defy that stupidly overpowered entity that is Uni. This is a piece of information we are making sure to keep well hidden from our dear "allies". Especially from that fool Grindor who is so gracious that he is colleg and emp his own Blessing very aggressively which makes him a very juicy target for a little bit of backstabbing, even more so as I tio earn his trust with my little loyal follower act. I only have to bide my time and wait for the delicious fruit to bee ripe enough for me to take...'

  Salok POV - Mass Effeiverse, Earth Alliance System Space - 2186 CE

  As the bridge of Suurok css starship, the Hessil shakes as another piece of spaceship is shot towards us and impacts against the Deflector shields and the captain howls orders at the people manning the bridge and the pilots of the T'Pna type fighters fleet desperately fighting out there.

  I 't help but wat horror as the bined forces of all the races of this universe in addition to the allies I was able to gather in my journey across the Omniverse are all powerless in front of one single absurd being.

  The threat of this entity is so exaggerated that even, the raown as the Reaper chose to their hostilities and join forces with all the other se races of this universe to fight it back, but despite that, it is clear that we are losing this war.

  Looking as the st of the Lancer-css fast-attack corvette that came with us from the Halo Universe is being pierced aroyed by a -colored blur before exploding in a massive explosion, I 't help but briefly think back at everything that happened in this eventful journey of exploration, discovery, learning, and more importantly, building new alliances with other superpowers like the United Federation of Po form the United Federation of Universes.

  The first universe I chose to visit was the Fallout Universe, the reason for that was quite logical, despite the horrors of the nuclear wastend that is the Earth of that particur universe, it is undeniable that it has an advanced although crude teology that is a very, very resilient, after all, not even our current most advanced ship and teologies be exposed to the aftermath of tless nuclear explosions and be found still in w dition.

  As expected, in Fallout Earth we found Advanced AIs that are arguably se, automated medical maes that cure a huge range of ailments, Teleporters, Force Fields, Matter replicators, ing Facilities, Holographic Security, Laser and Psma ons, Robotic teologies like the Sehe Protectors, Power armor, and Stealth Boys.

  Many of those things also exist in our universe, but the way those things were developed in the Fallout Universe was way different and as such very enlightening.

  But the most fantastic discovery was without doubt the Pip-Boy, a wearable puter manufactured by Robdustries.

  "Pip" is an a that means "Personal Information Processor" and that small wearable puter does just that and a little bit more, like dispying the user's dition, radiation levels, and any other notable thing that is currently affeg your body, record a huge amount of information even for my own universe standards, and map everything in your surroundings among all the other things.

  But for sure the most useful and powerful fun is the V.A.T.S. (Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System), a fun that is somewhat able to stop time and allow you to automatically aim and shoot at your targets, this is the only piece of teology that we still aren't able to fully uand and replicate.

  Of course, we didn't stop at just studying their teology, we also studied their societies, the creatures mutated by the radiation, and even some of their very uhical experiments ducted in some of the vaults that while incredibly disturbing and horrifying were also quite informative and at times useful and enlightening, and it was the most logical clusion to retrieve the data of those experiments to at the very least ehat those sacrifices and suffering didn't became useless.

  After leaving the Fallout Universe, we chose to visit the Halo Universe, more specifically the Halo Universe during the final years of the Human-ant War.

  The Human-ant War, also known as The Great War, was a major ielr flict pitting humanity and its United Nations Spaand against the ant Empire during the mid-26th tury between February 11, 2525 and December 11, 2552.

  The war was instigated by the ant, whose Prophets discovered that humans were directly reted to the Forerunners, and in order to keep the ant Empire intact, war was decred against humanity.

  oal in visiting that universe was, of course, to get in tact with the highest authorities of the United Nations Spaand and form an alliaween them, Vul, and possibly the United Federation of Ps, by helping them deal with the threat that was the ant Empire, and to warn them of what I sider the big 3 dangers for this Universe, the Gravemind and its Flood, the Harbinger and the very threat that her race the Xanyn, also known as the Endless, pose, and of course, Cortana, because if there is oried aed stant in the Omniverse is that most of the times if artificial intelligence has a female name, voice, or appeara very likely to turn evil or cause untold disasters.

  Anyway, we were successful in our endeavor and thanks to that, we were able to gain the alliance of the United Nations Spaand and they even allowed a squad of Spartans to follow us in our explorations of other universes, of course, there is a lot of politics behind this decision, but I didn't care too much about that as having a squad of literal supersoldiers by our side is more than advantageous.

  The Spartans quickly proved their usefulness in the previous Random Battle as the Spartans were able to easily subjugate the Champion of Yin, Ellie Wilkinson, a Were-lion from the Teen Wolf Universe, and her Ghost Riders, despite their clearly supernatural abilities.

  After the Random Battle, I kept my promise to Ellie Wilkinson and peacefully returned her to her home universe, the Teen Wolf Universe, and we also took advantage of this to further study the supernatural elements that thrived in that universe, tured various shape-shifter, demons, vampire, and many other supernatural creatures and carefully studied them before wiping their memories and sending them back to where we took them.

  We even invited some hunters so that they could share the practical and theoretical knowledge they gathered about supernatural creatures in their many geions of activity.

  After the Teen Wolf Universe, we traveled to The Expanse Universe where we found what be sidered one of the greatest discoveries ever found by Vul and the United Federation of Ps, the Protomolecule.

  The Protomolecule is an iious agent of extra-terrestrial in first discovered on Phoebe by the Martian gressional Republi 0 XTE.

  It has the ability to radically alter ied life forms and utilize their biomass in various ways.

  Not a life form in itself, the Protomolecule be described as "a set of free-floating instrus desigo adapt to and guide other replig systems".

  It is able to maintain and adapt its primary structure in a wide variety of ditions, and it has an affinity for carbon and sili structures, but is likely anaerobid will not degrade upon exposure to oxygen.

  When we first found the substance abroad the Anubis, it could be described as a "nano-fluid", and further studies revealed that the Protomolecule is some form of nanoteology, essentially funing as a pseudo-biological "puter".

  As moleanomaes, the Protomolecule uses ionizing radiation as an energy source, its growth signifitly accelerates if it is exposed to high doses of ionizing radiation, and it depends only on the abundance of suergy.

  With those incredible findings, we tio study the Protomolecule and that universe and learhat it was sent by an alien civilization inside an ielr asteroid 2 billion years ago.

  Saturn's gravity captured this asteroid to bee one of its many moons, the one called Phoebe, yet its intended destination was Earth, whiitially made us see it as a on sihe ied lifeforms die when exposed to it.

  However, we quickly learhat the Protomolecule was not a on but a tool as it funs as an advanced pre-programmed ptform created by some a alien civilization.

  The programming appears to be using the alien world's biomass, with a preference for reproductive systems, i.e. life, to build things, therefore life doesn't "die" when exposed to it but is rather transformed.

  Not a on, the Protomolecule turns out to be an incredibly flexible tool, capable of creating and funing in and as a variety of purposes and objects, as we learned new ones every step throughout the various tests.

  In rudimentary terms, the Protomolecule could be described as an all-purpose real-life hag code that rewrites whatever it touches to suit its own ends.

  The Protomolecule samples sent to the stars 2 billion years ago were panspermia-like molecur phage, ied and developed for massive gaxy exploration.

  Like the phages we know, it could only bee active when it came into tact with a replieism, which means that oh, the then-primitive life would have provided enough to feed its impressive transformation process, hijag any life or inanimate to nurture a mysterious growth.

  Yet the Protomolecule was nrammed to develop life, its first and most important goal is to create the infrastructure needed for ielr travel and unication.

  O grows with enough bio-mass it moves to the outer limits of the targeted stelr system and builds a gate.

  It leads to a wormhole establishing a e to its creatactic-wide Riwork, a work of more than a thousand ates, opened on that many stelr systems.

  In that universe, for example, it was bound to create the S, their gate to access the whole work.

  Another important use to the a aliens who created it is to develop suitable facilities os like power pnts, data ste, fixing shops, etbsp;

  Even millenniums ter it activates their teology, like fuel, somehow magically awakening drones, ship-repairing ptforms, transportation lines, access to virtual libraries, and so on in the many worlds behind the Riwates.

  We spent quite a long time expl that universe and studying the Protomolecule as safely as possible and as much as possible hoping to replicate it but we still weren't fully successful, and so, in the end, we chose to simply send a sample of the Protomolecule back to Vul and tih our exploration of new universes.

  And this is our test destination, the Mass Effeiverse, the humans of this universe discovered the ruins of an a spacefaring race called the Protheans on Mars.

  With the teology from these ruins, humanity learhe secrets of mass-effect physid element zero, unlog faster-than-light travel.

  Humans also discovered the mass rey work that threaded the gaxy, permitting instantaneous passage across thousands of light-years, and with all these elements Humanity began its journey among the stars, entering various alien races aablishing itself on the gactic stage.

  In this universe, humanity somewhat united and formed the Human Systems Alliand came in tact with all the actic civilizations such as the Asari Republics, the Sarian Union, the Turian Hierarchy, the Batarian Hegemony, the Vol Protectorate, the Hanar Illuminated Primad many others, among with the most important gactistitution, the cil, aive ittee posed of representatives from the Asari Republics, the Turian Hierarchy, and the Sarian Union.

  Though the cil has no official power over the indepe govers of other species, the cil's decisions carry great weight throughout the gaxy, as no single cil race is strong enough to defy the other two, and all have a vested i in promise and cooperation.

  Our objectives in ing to this universe were, first get in tact with the cil and through them build a bridge to all the other indepe govers to inform them about the dangers of the Omniverse and ihem to the United Federation of Universes, and of course also to study the Mass effects fields, the Element Zero, and the Biotics they developed.

  We were quite successful in our missions, we got in tact with the cil and many actic govers, gained some trust and acceptahanks to our efforts in helping them deal with the Reaper, and were able to gain information on, analyze, and study the Mass effects fields, the Element Zero, and the Biotics, I and my wife T'Pol even had quite a few enjoyable mind-melding experiences with the Shadow Broker Liara T'Soni.

  But just as everything was going well, that entity came and ruined everything bringih aru everywhere it passed leaving nothing behind but emptiness, with no one able to stop it.

  I'm brought back from my thoughts as the Hessil shakes once more as another object impacts against the Deflector shields with incredible ford the voice of Lieutenant Korob as it yells while training to hold back the panid fear we all are feeling, "The Deflector Shields are 70% down, Captain! I don't know if the Hessil withstand another blow like that!"

  At the same time, I notice that the blur stops in front of our ship finally fully revealing the figure of the entity that brought aire universe to its knees.

  Its physical appearance is that of a cute small ball with two big eyes, a mouth, and small hands a, holding its body to pears to be a cartoonish star, way too small and cute to even appear threatening, but despite that, nothing that we throw at it was effective against it as it ripped apart aroying everything standing in its way.

  Accelerator on, Antipositronic disruptor, Antiproton beam, Assault phaser, rea pulsar on, Cutting beam, EM pulse on, Energy dampening on, Force beam, Kaon torpedo, Phaser ass driver, Myotronic beam, Phaser spinal nce, Photonic torpedo, Psma torpedo, Poron torpedo, Quantum torpedo, Spatial torpedo, Super phaser, Transphasic torpedo we tried everything but nothing was effective.

  Suddenly, the small cute creature goes through an unusual ge, its body starts to glow with an assortment of colors in the rainbow spectrum, these colors are stantly moving around its body, even as it is standing still.

  The glowing creature opens its mouth wide and suddenly, everything starts to get sucked in its mouth and disappears as if being attracted and obliterated by a bck hole, and I'm not talking about the nearby shipwred pieces of Reapers, but also nearby asteroids, stars and even faras.

  But before I could realize what is going on, the Hessil is quickly pulled into that entity mouth as it gets bigger and bigger the closer we get until I briefly catch a glimpse of immense darkness.

  Jian POV - Campione! Universe, Beijing - 2009

  I'm lying on the fy bed of the presidential suite of the NUO Hotel Beijing with my lover Bibi Dong sleeping naked beside me after we enjoyed a beautiful evening together.

  I look at her beautiful face of Bibi as she peacefully sleeps with a smile on my face while thinking, 'I'm so gd that I worked so hard and was able to save her from that pitiful fate...'

  Indeed, after our first fateful meeting iar Dou Forest, where I was able to warm her up to my presend join her in her hunt, we actually never separated sihen, we cultivated together, trained our Spirit Skill together, hunted for Spirit Rings together, and after some time, we even started to live and sleep together, I spent the whole time with Bibi Dong not g about visiting other universes when ossible as I was fully fident irength I will be able to gain in my home universe.

  As we lived happily like that, our cultivation started to improve faster and faster until we finally broke through the Titled Douluo, at the same time, we gained a lot of fame and influend made use of it to quickly rise through the ranks of the Spirit Hall until I became powerful enough to be able to finally kill that bastard of Bibi's master, Qian Xunji and his father Qian Daoliu, and theogether took over the Spirit Hall and worked hard to me the world a better pce.

  Everything was going fine, but then the Random Battle happened and then I truly realized h I was as the Unigate teleported me to the Swallowed Star Universe, the universe of the ese novel Swallowed Star written by ohe authors I remember more fondly, I Eat Tomato.

  There I realized just how underpowered I was as a Titled Douluo because I found it difficult to face even the weakest of the Stelr Level Cultivators who are basically almost at the bottom of the food of that universe.

  Luckily I was able to survive the dangers of that universe without actually meeting my oppo and by relying upon my Twin Spirits, the Book of Spirits and the Killer after that, I decided that it was time to have a serious power boost as Cultivation is way too slow to be reliable.

  So after the Random Battle, I returo my home universe and told Bibi about my decision, and together we came to this universe to beore powerful in the fastest ossible, by being a Campione, a Godsyer.

  We spent quite some time in this universe searg for the right Heretic God to sy, and after traveling all around this world, we found them, two of them actually as they emerged at the same time.

  In the end, after a very difficult battle, we were able to kill the Heretic Gods Thoth ah, and the Goddess Pandracefully granted us one of their Authorities making us official Godsyers.

  Sihen, we made this universe our sedary home as we protected the people living here from Heretics Gods as we prepare for the Random Battle.
