It's been a year since Steve became famous across the world, and, honestly, it was a crazy year.
First big event: Hydra finally managed to gain independence from Germany.
And what was the first thing they did once free? Declare war on Steve.
Yeah, you read that right, Declare. War. On Steve
Red Skull still hadn't gotten over Steve ruining his grand plans, and With Hydra's massive military power and the confidence of a man who clearly hadn't thought this through, Red Skull proudly declared Steve as Hydra's number one enemy (and the protagonist had a big influence in that decision).
The issue? He massively underestimated how much Steve meant to the rest of the world.
By now, Steve was more than a hero, he was basically the world's favorite person.
To give you an idea: even Germany, still fascist by the way, agreed to a form of peace.
Apparently, they found a new purpose in trying to become more like Steve. (Translator: At least this Hitler was smart enough to end the war in his peak.)
So yeah, the moment Hydra declared Steve their enemy, they instantly became the second most hunted organization in the world.
The first spot still belonged to Itachi's organization, which, to this day, nobody's managed to wipe out. (Translator: they are Weaks, they lack hatred. 🤣)
This was, of course, a huge challenge for Red Skull, but it didn't completely derail his plans. Secretly, he was still getting major help from the protagonist, which allowed him to stay on relatively equal footing with, well, the Fuking world.
Meanwhile, Steve was hunting Hydra with vengeance-fueled determination.
Bucky had already "died" at their hands, and that broke something inside him, so the moment he found out, he went full berserker, literally cleaving a fortress in half with one swing of his sword. (Translator: 😳 Excuse me, but what the actual fuck?)
As for "BALANCE", the organization was disbanded after the war ended, and to their surprise, their home nations received them as heroes, celebrating their exploits with honors and medals.
Grateful for this, they decided to pass on their ideals to their descendants, making it clear that the only one worthy of calling them if necessary would be Steve himself.
Tony Stark, meanwhile, was secretly advancing his technology, trying to recreate his "old" equipment.
The catch? He'd conveniently forgotten how to build the power source. So he was stuck in an endless loop of trial and error.
On the mystical side of the world, there had been a secret war, won, of course, by Star, which even the Sorcerer Supreme found shocking
So shocking, in fact, that the Sorcerer Supreme personally went to meet Star, eager to know how she had achieved such rapid unification.
Star, naturally, told her it was all thanks to the "Moon."
And by now, even Khonshu had given up trying to make sense of it.
He hadn't received an ounce of faith from her people and never gave them blessings to begin with
The Sorcerer Supreme left empty-handed, forced to admit that it was, indeed, faith that had unified Star's people.
And by this point, Star had reached Sequence 5.
Frank and Daisy, were now proud parents, and had reconnected with the stars.
Their people, upon meeting other civilizations, started spreading the "Doctrine of Rest and Life." Yep, they created a religion.
And while they publicly deny it, everyone knows it's basically in honor of their planet's King and Queen.
Oh, and Daisy's also Sequence 5 now. So yeah, worshipping "eternal rest" suddenly sounds a lot more reasonable.
Twilight, after countless struggles, finally reached Sequence 6… but he was in rough shape.
He'd spent so much time guiding his nation along the path of knighthood that they literally crowned him king.
Sounds nice, right? Except they also decided to reverse technological progress.
So there he was, trying to preserve technological advancement while running a medieval kingdom.
Honestly, thank goodness the protagonist gave him a good enough story, or he would've forgotten his purpose ages ago.
Gol D. Roger, on the other hand, kickstarted the age of space piracy.
Yes. You heard me. SPACE. PIRACY.
As soon as his planet reached the stars, Roger just stood up and declared himself the King of the Pirates (Translator: For the One Piece!! )
At first, everyone laughed. Then, reports came in of him looting the richest civilizations across the galaxy.
He even robbed the Collector.
At first, the Collector was furious, until every mercenary he hired to stop Roger ended up joining Roger's crew instead.
After that, he just gave up, his collection? Gone forever to the secret vault of the king of the pirates
Roger's not a villain, though. He's just pure, unfiltered chaos.
Like a solar flare, you never know when it'll happen, and it's not evil, just… inconvenient.
There have even been several battles between Roger's pirate fleet and Thanos's armada, each ending in a draw.
Needless to say, Thanos hates him. He considers Roger the most annoying obstacle in his courtship of Death, and yeah, obstacle, not enemy, even he managed to see that
Speaking of Death, she's been… Conquered.
She's completely fascinated by the protagonist's ambition to secretly conquer the universe.
She believes he doesn't even know about the other secret organizations lurking behind reality, so she finds it attractive.
In her eyes, a man with genuine ambition deserves to rule for the Eternity by her side.
She's fallen for him so deeply that even her multiversal counterpart have felt the echo of that emotion.
But choose to ignore it, after all, it's just a tiny fragment of her essence, in a universe so distant it barely matters, and it's drifting even farther away every moment. (Translator: The man almost died from cosmic girlfriend energy 🤣)
Meanwhile, Mariko was busy nurturing her technological tree.
Somehow, she too had reached Sequence 5, ensuring that, for once, Groot's planet wouldn't be destroyed in the foreseeable future.
How did she progress in her Pathway? Honestly, I don't even want to know.
But if it's what I think it is… let's just hope she didn't impale herself with a splinter in the process (;ŏ﹏ŏ).
Still, she's a long way from even reaching the atmosphere, after all, she's single-handedly advancing her planet's entire field of biotechnology.
Now, back to the Protagonist, who was currently locked in a mental debate with his system about which Pathway bring to the universe
"Mmmmmmm… Now then, which Pathway would be the best to summon…?"
★ "Hmm… Let's think this through carefully."
"Let's see… I already have enough brute force to defy destiny itself if I wish.
I have a method to control death to some extent, and if everything goes as planned, I'll soon be able to control every hero in existence…
I get it, what I'm missing is chaos.
A chaos so immense that it will echo across the entire galaxy.
A chaos so great… that even Galactus himself could not be forgiven."
★ "If that's what you're aiming for, you'd need one of the " Great Old Ones" to use."
"And I already know which one
System, summon "Inextinguishable Ravings", he'll be perfect to influence them all."
★ "Alright. Do you want to create a story for him or not?"
"I'll create a story, but it must make sense, It needs to logically explain how he ended up in this universe."
★ "Understood. Who will it be, and what's the story?"
"Shou Tucker, from Fullmetal Alchemist."
★ "…Who?"
"Shou Tucker."
★ "…You're a damn monster and you disgust me. Can't you pick someone else?"
"Thank you for the compliment, but I won't change my mind."
★ "…May the Origin of Everything have mercy upon existence itself and stop you from achieving your goals."
And so, the system brought one of the most hated beings in anime into this universe.
He appeared in the Kree Empire, of all places.
And, well… let's just say his twisted little thoughts will led to the start of a full-blown civil war in a far future, simply because one day he thought, "What if I tried this?" (Translator: When intrusive thoughts win 🤣)
And not only that, but on another occasion, he decided to say, "I've got a great idea," and made Galactus fight Eternity… just because he wanted to see if he could taste the greatest ice cream in existence.
And once… he came up with the brilliant idea of inventing a legend claiming that the Philosopher's Stone was superior to the Infinity Gems, just because he wanted to see how many people would actually believe it. (Spoiler: everyone in the universe did, even Oblivion.)
And let's not even talk about his greatest experiment… creating an entire race of furries simply because he wanted to prove that animals could dominate every species in existence.
And, to no one's surprise, his plan actually worked, at least until Tony showed up and… well, that's a story for another time.
For now, we can only hope there's still at least one universe left to conquer once it's all over.
