Chapter 95: Shaking the Myriad Worlds! The Infinite Box Reappears! The Stirring Gaze of the God of Destruction!
[ Next up— ]
[ Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann World— ]
[ Question: To what extent can humanity reach with a drill— ]
『 A thin, black-haired boy wearing goggles, looking soft and weak, appeared on the screen. 』
[ Only three contestants can get the right to answer each time ]
[ Starting the rush to answer now—Ding! Those who obtained the slots are: Sakata Gintoki, Makima, and Galactus. ]
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Having just finished watching the events between Gaia and humanity and still not fully recovered from the shock, seeing that it was humanity again caused countless non-human creatures across the Myriad Worlds to reveal expressions of anger and disgust!
Humans again! It's humans again!
How are such ugly creatures as humans qualified to be chosen!
They sniffed disdainfully at the frail and sickly boy on the screen. A drill? Just a miner, probably!
.....
〜Demonbane World〜
The Deus Machina, Demonbane, seemed to sense some kind of connection and gazed deeply at the boy on the screen.
That was a boy who had not yet realized his own destiny…
Then, it stepped alone into the chaos once more. With a single slash, the Cthulhus of countless universes were annihilated in unison!
But they could not be killed off, not completely, because… There was still…
AZATHOTH…!!!
—
〜Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann World〜
Noises of commotion came from outside; it seemed they couldn't believe that the short and skinny Simon had been chosen.
"Eh, eh, eh?! Why me!"
In the pitch-black mine tunnel, the frail and disheveled boy was equally incredulous. Simon was bewildered.
Why him? Even if their world was chosen, it shouldn't have been him!
Wasn't Bro a thousand times stronger than him?!
For a moment, the boy was enveloped by immense anxiety, and his whole body began to tremble.
Deep in the universe, the Anti-Spirals looked at the boy on the screen, their gaze gradually becoming profound and dark.
Spiral Power…

『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
The rest of the audience scrutinized the boy on the screen.
First impression: frail. Second impression: cowardly and timid.
As for the question, it puzzled everyone even more. To what extent can humanity reach with a drill?
What does "extent" refer to here? Strength or spirit?
But regardless of what it was, no one wanted to give a high evaluation. After all, this boy really seemed very ordinary.

[ Aqua (KonoSuba): "A drill? Could it be that you're also here to mine in another world? Why don't you come work for me? Follow this Goddess, and I guarantee you won't worry about food or clothes~" ]
[ Kazuma Satou (KonoSuba): "Aqua… stop messing with people! And did you bring me to another world just to work part-time?! Aaaah, why is my life so bitter!" ]
[ Sakata Gintoki (Gintama): "Oi, is the person himself here? Come out and say something. Does your world have magic, gods, or whatever? And what's the deal with the drill?" ]
[ Simon (Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann): "…No, no. Everyone stays underground all day. I'm just a digger." ]
[ Makima (Chainsaw Man): "Oh~ is that really so~ But boy, you look very well-behaved, just like a… cute little puppy." ]
[ Saten Ruiko (A Certain Magical Index): "Um… doesn't everyone have a very familiar feeling…" ]
[ .....]
〜A Certain Magical Index World〜
Saten Ruiko's expression changed slightly. An inexplicable feeling arose in her heart… a feeling that perhaps Simon was actually very strong.
This feeling was just like the feeling Madoka gave her back then.
Although they looked delicate and weak, once they exploded or reached a certain limit, they would become super strong!
…No, that's impossible. How could people like Madoka be everywhere? Besides, that world doesn't have magic or anything.
The young girl dismissed it as her own illusion.

〜Gintama World〜
"Does Gin-chan know the answer?"
Kagura couldn't help but ask, looking at the leisurely Sakata Gintoki.
"Of course! Who do you think I am!"
Sakata Gintoki picked his nose, flicked the booger into Sadaharu's mouth, gave a thumbs up, and laughed!
Sadaharu: "….."
"Woof woof WOOF!!!"
"Wait! You beast, don't bite there!"
—
〜Marvel Cinematic Universe, Earth-????〜
In the sea of stars, a figure that blotted out the sky roamed through the void.
Galactus moved forward unconsciously. Hungry, so hungry!
The countdown ended, and the answers of the three appeared on the screen.
—
〜Myriad Worlds livestream Chat〜
[ Sakata Gintoki Sakata (Gintama): "Head Miner" ]
[ Galactus: "Hungry—" ]
[ Makima (Chainsaw Man): "Stellar-level Powerhouse" ]
[ .....]
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
PFFT—!!!
Seeing the first answer, everyone spat out their drinks. Good, good, good, as expected of you! Sakata Gintoki!
The boy holding a drill is destined to become the Head Miner?!
Galactus's answer was automatically ignored, leaving only Makima's answer: Stellar-level Powerhouse.
Everyone raised their eyebrows. They didn't expect someone to think that the boy could reach such a level.
But soon, the answer that appeared left everyone stunned. They were confused and shocked, and countless viewers even fainted directly, trembling.
.....
[ All three answers are incorrect. Correct Answer—Drill that pierces the heavens! Super Tengen Toppa! Infinite BOX!!! ]
〜A Certain Magical Index World〜
"Another existence that has reached that level?"
Aleister's expression fluctuated, his gaze fixed firmly on the boy on the screen.
He still couldn't see anything special. The boy's eyes weren't bright, and his heart wasn't firm.
But he reached that kind of existence…
Is it magic or some unknown power again?
Aleister sighed deeply, but his gaze remained locked on the boy on the screen. He wanted to absorb all knowledge!
〜Three-Body Problem World〜
The Trisolarans chose to play dead directly. Besides, it was none of their business.
For an existence that transcends the universe like this, they knew without thinking that it must be some magic or something they had never seen before.
So, isn't it normal that it has nothing to do with them?
Perhaps only the Zero-Homers in this universe could observe such an existence and receive its grace…
—
〜Getter Robo World〜
A crimson mecha floated in the cosmic void. Ryoma Nagare sat in the Getter Eagle, quietly watching Simon on the screen.
That boy will indeed be very strong!
—
〜Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann World〜
To think he reached an existence equal to them…
In the chaos, the Anti-Spirals sighed deeply. However, they did not choose to destroy Earth immediately, nor did they choose to recruit the boy on the screen.
Because they knew clearly that killing him would only invite a devastating causal strike, and changing things meant infinite possibilities could occur.
The Anti-Spirals didn't understand. Why can't living beings understand the true meaning of the universe?
Must everything be destroyed before they realize their mistakes?
—
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Infinite Box…
Everyone's expressions froze again. That string of words seemed to possess some magic power, deeply engraving itself into everyone's hearts.
That was a limit that countless of them could never reach, yet this boy could achieve it?!!
The crowd was shocked, but mostly in disbelief!
Why could this boy become a powerhouse at a level they had never even heard of!
.....
『 The sunless underground world.
Figure after figure used drills to dig tunnels. They had never seen the sun. All they did every day was use the drills in their hands to dig, dig, and dig endlessly.
In their perception, apart from the underground world, there were no other worlds.
Therefore, the more tunnels dug, the more living space there was, and Simon was the best among them!
During the process, Simon also dug out a small mini-drill. However, the boy didn't pay it much mind because digging here meant encountering strange things every day. Simon hung the drill around his neck.
When he went out to rest, he was laughed at by the girls in the village for being smelly and weird.』

[ Sakata Gintoki Sakata (Gintama): "No way, bro! You really are a miner! I thought everyone was just joking!" ]
[ Tatsumi (Akame Ga Kill): "Why mock him? Simon has the best professional skills in the village! In our village, he would be the village's hope!" ]
[ Thor Odinson (Earth-616): "I can't see the aptitude of a strong man at all. Does he change later?" ]
[ Misaka Mikoto (A Certain Magical Index): "By the way, without the sun, can people really survive? Do they rely on geothermal heat? What a strange world." ]
[ .....]
『 On the way back, Simon met his 'Bro', Kamina. He was a man with a personality completely opposite to Simon's, always encouraging Simon.
And his dream was to break through this sunless world and go see the outside world!
Kamina immediately formed the 'Team Gurren', recruiting a few oddballs from the village along with Simon into the team, and rode a mole-pig on a rampage!
Just as they were about to reach the highest point, the village chief knocked everyone down with a stick and warned everyone that there was no new world outside at all!
He locked Kamina in a confinement cell, but at night, Simon quietly dug a tunnel to break his Bro out and told him that he had dug up something that sparkled!
But just then, the ceiling began to tremble violently!
The ceiling, unchanged for hundreds of years, shattered, and a giant face-shaped mecha fell through!
At the same time, a beautiful girl with red hair also came down and stood in front of everyone. The girl's name was Yoko, but even the three of them could not withstand the giant mecha.
Suddenly, Simon remembered the small mecha he had found earlier. He immediately took the others there and inserted the drill he had found earlier into the mecha.
Finally, just as everyone was about to fall into crisis, Simon piloted the mecha and finally exploded!
A drill sprouted from the top of his Lagann's head, shattering the giant mecha, and simultaneously charged straight through the ground, piercing straight into the sky! 』

[ Lordgenome (Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann): "It has finally begun… The unfair world, the resistance against fate, another new cycle." ]
[ Kamina (Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann): "Hahahahahaha! Did you see that, Simon! I told you the outside world exists!" ]
[ Trisolaran Leader (3-Body Problem): "Wait, could it be that this time they reached that level through technology?!" ]
[ Kyubey (Puella Magi Madoka Magica) "Unheard of. I have never seen technology capable of reaching a level that transcends the universe." ]
[ .....]
〜Neon Genesis Evangelion World〜
"Mecha?!"
Under his red glasses, Ikari Gendo's eyes began to fluctuate violently. He looked feverishly at the small mecha on the screen!
If they are all mechas, maybe he could borrow the principles within!
He didn't ask to reach the level of that powerhouse; just to surpass this world would be enough!
—
〜Code Geass world〜
Fluctuations also appeared in Lelouch's eyes. Mecha…
Could it be that the boy reached that height relying on mechas?
—
〜Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann World〜
Kamina didn't hesitate at all. He took Simon and dug out to the outside world first.
When he saw with his own eyes that there was a sun, a sky, and scenery he had never seen before…
Simon was completely captivated.
—
『 After reaching the surface, new crises followed one after another. The ground was full of giant robots called Gunmen, piloted by Beastmen who would attack humans.
Simon could only lead everyone to run all the way. Just as everyone was about to be stomped to death, Yoko's tribe arrived in time to save them.
Facing enemies was something they were long accustomed to. People living on the surface fought against the Gunmen every day.
In the days that followed, Simon was unable to activate Lagann again until a new Gunmen appeared. Simon's expression suddenly became hideous and twisted; it was the enemy who had killed his parents!
In immense anger, Simon piloted Lagann and charged straight at the giant red Gunmen!
Finally, with Simon's cooperation, Kamina successfully seized the cockpit of the red Gunmen. But the moment he sat in it, Kamina couldn't pilot it at all because he had no Spiral Power!
The cockpit turned red, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
The skull on the ground seemed like a demon mocking Kamina's overestimation of his own abilities!
At this moment, fear arose in Kamina's heart!
But what he feared was not death at all!
Instead, he was afraid of dying a meaningless death just like this SKELETON!!!
The Beastman had known this for a long time. Although the reason was unknown, these humans simply couldn't pilot Gunmen!
But just as the Beastman looked confident, the next moment, the giant red Gunmen suddenly clenched its fist!
It punched down heavily, smashing the SKELETON!!!
"Don't underestimate me, you Gunmen!"
"Who the hell do you think I AM!!!"
Under Bro's incredibly powerful aura, he eventually defeated all the enemies and named it Gurren.
And he firmly believed that relying on his Gurren and Simon's Lagann, they would definitely be able to pierce the heavens! 』

[ Nami (One Piece): "Actually, Kamina is the main character, right! So cool!" ]
[ Bai Xiaofei (Wo Jiao Bai Xiaofei): "Who do you think we are! I feel the hype rising all of a sudden! Hahahahahaha!" ]
[ Tatsumi (Akame Ga Kill): "I feel like he would definitely get along with Bro Bulat. Their hairstyles are pretty similar too." ]
[ Kamado Tanjiro (Demon Slayer): "He's also very like Rengoku-san. Are all 'Big Bros' like this?" ]
[ Might Guy (Naruto): "Hahahahahaha, fear nothing! Just do it if you want to! This is YOUTH!" ]
[ Iskandar (Type-Moon): "This boy is very likable. I'm sure he will start his journey of conquest!" ]
[ .....]
〜Naruto World〜
Pure Land—
"Anger, emotion…"
Uchiha Madara's eyes changed slightly as if he understood something.
Perhaps that mecha was just like his Uchiha clan's Susanoo; the more intense the explosive emotions, the greater the power erupted.
—
〜Three-Body Problem World〜
"Simulation normal so far."
Information was transmitted within the Trisolaran minds.
The energy within the stellar-class battleships was currently all being used to simulate the data on the screen. Every second involved septillions of calculations!
And so far, they had almost created a Gunmen completely synchronized with the one on the screen!
This was their only CHANCE!!!
Unlike the magic and divine power of other worlds, so far, only mechas had APPEARED!!!
As long as they could replicate it, they were willing to pay any price!
And the entire civilization of the Three-Body World had realized this point!
—
『 At Night. Kamina took Simon and the others back to the side of the skeleton he had smashed during the day.
"Really sorry about that. Did something stupid today, more or less. Don't hate me, okay?" Kamina apologized, holding a shovel.
But in the next moment, he saw the skull bracelet on the skeleton's right hand.
Kamina fell to his knees instantly. His pupils trembled, his expression twisted. Memories from decades ago flooded his mind. Trembling, he dug away the dirt buried on top.
A bright red cape came into view…
"Is this the kind of place where you died… It was too early, too early!"
"DAD!!!" 』
『 .....』
〜Rainbow Sea World〜
"Could it be that my old man also kicked the bucket?"
Maidang picked his nose.
Maidang suddenly felt that Kamina's background and Kamina's dad were very similar to his own.
"How can you curse your own dad like that! You guy, you're not fit to be a son at all!"
Gudong shouted a retort!
—
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Everyone's expressions stagnated, followed by uncontrollable twitching. It really made people laugh and cry at the same time.
What a farce. Is this what they call fate?
Just a moment ago, he was mocking that skeleton for dying in obscurity, but in the blink of an eye, he discovered that person was his dad.
And the son even slapped his dad's corpse to pieces?
This wave really defines "filial piety."
