Chapter 95 - The Degenerate

---MHA Universe (Clark's World) several days later---

Having rushed along the Mars Biodome, I had all the safety checks run to ensure people could live their safely. Once the tests passed I got homes built and people moved in immediately. Helping the three separate groups settle in, I focused on working with Urahara on method for safely removing the trapped souls in the blades. While I was busy with that, the women were busy settling in with their duties.

"No more!!", Yu shouted, "No more paperwork!!"

"You were the one that volunteered for this position...", Natasha and Leone sighed, "If you hate paperwork, why offer to be HR?"

"Because...the doctor said I should limit the use of my Quirk for now. He is concerned that growing and shrinking may have unhealthy effects on the baby.", Yu stated, "It sucks, but...I am happy."

"We know.", Momo laughed with a smile, "You don't stop posting pictures on Hero Book. I am just thankful you haven't announced it's Clark's baby. Only two families are aware of the pregnancies...everyone else is in the dark."

"Yeah...I can't tell my parents quite yet.", Nejire giggled, "My mother would be happy, but my dad would lose it. He wasn't fond of me moving in with Clark to begin with."

"I think that's pretty normal.", Kitty stated, "I am surprised he managed it...my parents would have had a cow."

"It wasn't easy.", Ochaco said with a smile, "Our mother's had to fight to make it happen."

"Oh?", Diane asked.

"They told our Dad's it was the couch or allow it.", Asui stated observing Akame destroy her second box of cookies, "You sure you should eat that much..? How do you not gain weight with all the sweets you eat?"

"Yeah, share your secret!!", Mina shouted, "I want to eat all the sweet Eri and you do!!"

Shrugging she said she never did much much, just worked out. Twitching the other women in the room worked out a lot, and felt they never made progress and here she was eating whatever she wanted. Staring at her as she started eating Doritos they gave up trying to understand what was going on.

"How goes training the ninjas?", She-Hulk asked, "I heard you-"

"I don't wanna sound rude...but why are you here!?", Harley shouted before fixing her dress to look professional.

"Harley...you don't look right in that.", Sonico giggled.

"Well neither do you!! Those poor buttons are gonna pop off!!", Harley retorted.

"I am sorry!!", Sonico huffed, "I ran out of the house in a hurry!! It's been awhile since I could leave home...my parents took me on a trip and-"

"Do yah need a therapy session?", Harley asked.

"Not from you!", Sonico spat.

"You wanna fight!", Harley shouted.

"Both of you, that is enough.", Kara sighed, "It's good to have you back Sonico, I know you wore that to look cute for Clark."

"He didn't even bother to show up today...", she muttered.

"He's busy working to free the souls trapped in those blades.", Melissa said, "Not like we can fault him for that."

"Yeah...but I still wanted to see him...", Sonico said, "It's nice my parents are trying to make amends, but I need a break. I don't think I can eat anymore shaved ice for a while..."

"But it's so good.", Eri (Little Sister) protested.

"Ahem...", Rumi stated, "Jennifer, their training is progressing very well. They have promise, but..."

"Move it ladies!!!", Sif shouted from outside the window, "You aren't going to fight a goblin if this is the best you can do!!"

Looking outside, they watched Sif, Esdeath, Blackfire, and Maxima training the women to become stronger. Making them workout without the the aide of Chakra, they were being taken to task by their teachers.

"They are task masters.", Toru gulped, "I sneak away when they teach us...they are strict, and don't mind making you pass out."

Reflecting on the last few days of training, everyone in attendance shivered. Getting back to the topic at hand the women from Earth-65 said they were here to help. Carol said that as the former head of S.H.I.E.L.D she could assist with management which got snickers from a few women. Glaring them Susan and Kitty used Fury and Hela as shields.

"I will have you know I did a great job.", Carol said.

"Yeah...still don't think you are cut out for it.", Hela replied, "You deal better with killing...not saving."

"I...I can't argue that one.", Carol sighed.

"So you want to help?", Selena and Natasha asked with a smirk, "We can find you jobs here, but is that why you are really here?"

"What are you asking?", Susan inquired.

"You all wore high end perfume.", Leone teased, "You smell nice...maybe for someone in particular?"

"Is this an interrogation?", Storm retorted.

"It is...", Itsuka giggled before her face became serious, "You are wearing the same perfume as Gwen, and you already know she is with us."

"Gigs up ladies.", Gwen told them, "I knew you should have worn something different."

"Fine...", Carol sighed, "Yes, we are trying to make a good impression. Prospects in that world...well the good men are already spoken for. The rest are sleazy, cheating bastards...we can't trust them as they immediately look at our chest when they speak with us."

"Yeah...it's uncomfortable, Clark looks us in the eyes when we speak. When we leave he admires our looks which...well it's isn't bad.", Kitty giggled.

"You sure he isn't remembering the time you ran into the building?", Mina laughed.

"Hey!! That was an accident!! He didn't warn me before hand!!", Kitty shouted.

"You say that, but you have been awful careful about the walls you run through now.", Susan teased.

"Hush it!!", Kitty pouted, "Why are you teasing me!? Gwen has photos of him in her bedroom!!"

"Those are for a research paper!!", Gwen said chocking on her water, "Don't throw me under the bus now!"

"I think you will fit into our group just fine.", Wanda stated.

"Since Clark is gone...", Selena started to say looking at Wanda, "Tell us about that future, I have been dying to know forever now."

"Hehe, you all curious?", Wanda teased.

"Yes!!", they all shouted, "Now spill it!!"

"Alright, no need to get snappy. They gave me a family photo, have a look.", Wanda said showing them a family portrait.

Seeing the massive photo of the family around me, they noticed the children around all of us. Picking out the ones that belong with each of them, the Marvel women noticed that they were all in the picture as well giving them relief. Passing it around so they could look, they all were very happy with what they saw. Seeing our firstborn children among those present, the pregnant women started giggling with pride.

"They...they do look cute.", Katherine stated trying to hide her smile.

"Agreed, they do...", Rumi stuttered trying not to get giddy.

"Look at my baby boy!!", Yu shouted, "He is so adorable, and he certainly has his father's build!! He will be the most handsome boy at school!! With our looks combined he will be a model without a doubt!"

"Someone is getting a bit excited.", Ochaco said with a smile, "All of the children look adorable, and some look very mischievous. Look at Esdeath's and Akame's kids, both of them look like they stole from the cookie jar."

Looking at Akame, they all understood the daughter took after the mother in that aspect. Staring at the unknown women in the picture, they all tried to place were they were from. A few of them were people they knew personally, but most were unrecognizable to them. Putting the picture away Wanda told them that things were progressing well now that Clark was serious about saving all of them.

"Won't things change if he prioritizes us over the universe?", Momo inquired.

"Here is the thing, if I didn't push Clark he would have slowly spread out his effort to save people. Most of these women right now are in slavery or being held against their will. They asked me to have Clark come as soon as possible because they wanted out as soon as possible. Clark's only really gone after the few big fish, there are a lot of medium fish out there causing problems.", Wanda said like she was a scholar, "Clark needed a kick in the pants to hurry up, and save all of you. Now that it has been done, I can sit back and relax."

"You aren't going to pester him anymore?", Jean asked skeptically.

"Hey listen!! With Esdeath, Akame, and Leone...if I hadn't have rushed him the three of you would have eventually been pulled out of the mines half dead. I showed up to make sure he found what he needed...while also meeting me.", she lectured, "I helped him find the information that led to your early rescue!! The ninja women down there are already slightly interested, and since Clark took the initiative to bring them here for training...they will join quicker as well. Otherwise those five would have wallowed in self-pity for years before leaning on him for support. For Gwen and company, I pushed him because otherwise you would have settled for mediocre men and been treated like garbage again!! Believe me, I know what it's like to have men use you for their own gain, I have lived that life too many times!! I pushed him on you so you didn't make that mistake, and came after him sooner!! If I hadn't...all of you would have ended up in abusive relationships where the men used you for their own benefits, and you'd be a trophy to them. Here you have love, a caring man, and he won't ever abuse you or blackmail you into something you don't want!!"

"Alright...", Carol stated, "We...we get it..."

"You aren't lying, are you?", Akame asked.

"No, less of your people would be alive right now...maybe about a 1/3 of the people he saved. Mine would have died in the mines along with her unborn baby.", Wanda informed her, "You would have been traumatized from not being able to help your dear friends again, and would have spent years in a stupor."

Stopping what she was doing, Akame looked at the women. It was true, if she had lost anymore friends she could see herself falling into that situation. After watching her sister be torn apart by Parademons, they were the only thing keeping her moving forward. She admitted it was a rushed decision to join the group here, but ever since joining...it had been like the family she had always wanted.

"Anyways ladies", Wanda said cracking her neck, "Aren't any of you concerned with the women he is wife currently?"

"They are in that picture, right?", Jean stated, "What's wrong with-"

"I am just saying, some of you are trying very hard to have kids right now.", Wanda laughed looking at five women in particular, "You sure you won't have a fit if someone else beats you too it?"

"What do you take us for, lunatics?", Harley remarked, "It isn't that big of a-"

"Harley...some of us don't have children...", the four other women stated staring her down, "Don't speak for all of us, having children in a stable home means more to us than you seem to think."

"He treats your daughter like his own, which is great for you.", Ivy added, "Just realize we want our children now as well."

"I am not saying I don't want a child!!", Harley shouted, "I was saying we wouldn't have a fit about it!! I am the only one here who brought a child into this family...I know what it's like to carry a child alone. It's scary...you don't have someone to lean on...to cuddle with yah...or to tell yah that everything will be okay."

Realizing that she was treading in dangerous waters now, Wanda decided that it was best not to comment on that. Having heard the stories the future women told her, and what her future self had said specifically about her...she somewhat understood the sentiment.

"So about their jobs.", Wanda stated, "I think She-Hulk could be the Legal Department and a Physical Trainer."

"I am cool with that...I would have to read all your bullshit laws here.", Jessica laughed, "I mean...I can't believe people fucking agreed to license your powers."

"If she is going into that team, Kitty should probably be a field agent.", Natasha said, "Susan could be in the Medical Division, and-"

Continuing to hash out things over tea and sweets, the women kept chatting among themselves while the ninja's were being chased around in the training yard. While they were hashing things out, Urahara and I were busy sorting out the blades.

---Mars Base, Biodome---

After several days of long hours, Urahara and I had a breakthrough. Freeing the souls from their prisons we ended up making a blade that would devour any souls it pierced. No longer trapping them, it would syphon off all their Soul Pressure and increase the strength of the blade. The person on the receiving end would be dead without any realization of what had occurred. Giving me the blades for safe keeping, Urahara no longer wanted anything to do with them. Even though he managed to safe some people, the realization he caused the deaths of many more devastated him mentally.

"He going to be okay?", I asked Yoruichi.

"I...I honestly don't think he will live much longer.", Yoruichi answered seeing her friend in a depressed state, "I don't think he realized it would be used to such a deadly effect. We had little way of knowing that other's wouldn't have any method's for resisting the blades."

"I have mixed opinions on this.", Spectre stated, "On one hand his creation caused the deaths of an entire world, and killed millions more. The thing is...he did it to save as many people as he could on your world. He didn't do it for profit, for glory, or to save just himself."

"Agreed, not a Sin...a mistake.", Ghost Rider chimed in.

"I understand...", she nodded, "If the Soul Society was still whole, he would have been executed but we are only a shell now."

"How many people survived?", I asked her having not taken a head count.

"Shunsui, Suì-Fēng, Byakuya, Rangiku, Kenpachi, Rukia, Aizen, Urahara, and I...", Yoruichi growled hitting the dirt, "Those bastards came when we were laying the former Commander to rest...at least what we could find. We were all too tired from the war to do much of anything. Kenpachi was the first person they struck down, and then those demons poured into our world. We couldn't stop them!! I...I killed hundreds of them, but when one fell three more took it's place. I watched my comrades torn apart, and all I could do was fight for my life."

"I apologize that you had to endure that.", I told her.

"All of us...we watched our forces crumble and them devour our world. Those that held any actual power were changed into those hideous things.", Yoruichi stated, "Ichigo..."

"He is one of them now...", Rukia said trembling at the thought, "He was changed into one of those things...and that bastard ordered him to kill his own family!!"

Knowing that the pain was still fresh in their minds, I felt it was only right for me to give them some space. They needed to come to terms with their loss before they could move forward. Getting up to go, Yoruichi grabbed my arm with an enraged look.

"Where are you going?", she asked.

"I am going back home, I am sure you want too-"

"We are going with you, the people of our world are safe here now. You aren't leaving us behind, those bastards killed everyone we cared about. We wanted our vengeance against all of them!! Not a single one of them is allowed to live!!", she hissed.

"Besides, we owe it to Ichigo to end his suffering.", Rukia stated.

"Are all of you onboard with this?", I questioned.

"You aren't suggesting that I am going to back out of an opportunity to fight, right?", Kenpachi howled with laughter, "I am looking forward to a good fight, and maybe a fitting end for myself. Those bastards used underhanded tactics to knock me out...I owe them retribution for that. If I am going to die it's going to be in combat, not from a sneak attack!!"

"Haha.", Aizen laughed.

---Japan HQ---

Bringing those willing to fight alongside me back to base, I put them to work sharpening their skills with the others. Using my power to level the playing field, I had everyone that didn't have a passenger(s) on board participate in the training. With everyone's physical abilities on a level playing field, it came down to skill and training now. Taking a seat while I watched them fight, Ryuko came by to see how things were going.

Witnessing the fighters in the training arena going all out, she took a seat on the bench next Yu. Quietly watching the various fighters engaging in combat, all she could think of was how powerful some of these opponents were. Thirty minutes later the combatants stopped fighting, and came out for refreshments.

"You are better in combat than you look.", Kenpachi complimented Diana.

"Thank you, your moves were excellent and clearly you have many battles under your belt.", Diana replied.

"What about me!", Wanda said flexing her muscles.

"How many times did Orihime have to heal you?", Shunsui laughed taking a sip of tea.

"Uh...well don't count that. I mean how badass did I look out there?", she replied.

"More like how much of your ass is plastered all over the arena.", Rumi teased sitting on my lap, "I watched you get your ass kicked everywhere."

"Well at least I can still fight.", Wanda jabbed.

"I can still kick your ass!!", Rumi shouted.

"I'd like to see you-"

Sweeping her legs out from under her, Katherine attached a giant weather balloon to her belt and sent her off into the sky. Shouting at Katherine for using underhanded measures, she kept shouting till she was too far up to hear.

"She will be back down in fifteen minutes.", Katherine told me with a nod.

"I appreciate it.", I replied with a smile.

Since we had a bit of peace now, everyone relaxed and enjoyed themselves a bit. After a cooldown time, they turned to me and asked where we went from here. Seeing that they were chomping at the bits for some action, I sighed and pulled out a map. Telling that we were going to start with helping end a war, they looked at me skeptically. Informing of the changes I knew that Joker had made to various timelines, they understood why it was important to end the war.

"Any information we can gather will be helpful in locating Joker's former base of operations. I could have used my psychic power to get the information, but his mind was already far too gone to piece things together.", I said, "On this world, the natives are broken up into 4 main groups...Angel, Fallen Angel, Devil, and Human/Other. All four of them have gone through a bloody war before this shit happened, and currently the Biblical God and Satan are both dead. Needless to say that caused a lot of infighting and instability. Currently over half of the 72 pillars in Hell are gone, and they were having peace till this happened. Joke moved two additional groups to this world, that I am aware of, and things went to south immediately. One group is made up of Demon Slayers who are protecting the humans from both the native Devils and Demons from another world."

"Sounds pretty straight forward.", Suì-Fēng stated, "We go in, and take them out."

"The Demons won't be that easy...they feed on the souls of humans, and cutting them won't kill them. You have to destroy all their hearts to really kill them.", I replied, "They are tough sons of bitches that can use Purgatory Flames, if it touches you it's almost impossible to put out."

"Now we are talkin.", Kenpachi laughed, "Bring it on!!"

"So if we go there...are they going to attack us immediately?", Kitty asked.

"The humans should be pretty cool with us, and the Devils will be more than happy to have peace again. Demons though...they won't be easily bargained with so I may end up killing them all.", I answered, "We will have to see the situation when we arrive."

---High School DxD World---

Arriving in a human settlement all of us spread out to gather information. I had been having drones recon this world for a while, but there was only so much one could gather from a camera. Chatting with people about what was happening I got a better sense for the situation. The Devils had tried to sue for peace several times, but the Demon Slayers weren't having it. They wanted the Devils to leave humanity alone even though the Devils needed humanity to survive. Between the major war, civil war, and this spat...they were running on fumes now. The information we were gathering show the Demons were also acting the Devils further causing chaos.

Instead of being in the thirties, the pillars numbered in the teens now. Among the destroyed pillars was the Gremory and Bael families...due in part to the High Demon brothers. News had spread that Sirzechs tried to fight them, and Meliodas trashed his entire group. With Meliodas reflecting magic back at them they had to resort to physical attacks which was a terrible idea. Along with the Ten Commandments...his group was wiped out in minutes...so the rumors stated.

"It doesn't sound good.", Susan and Storm told me, "The Demons have already destroyed half of the world. They have devoured there way to this point...the Angel's, Fallen, and Humanoid groups are barely holding now. The people here seem to think that they won't last the rest of the month before the defensive line crumbles."

"I don't blame them...when the Demons devour souls they regain some of their spent magic and energy. With an abundance of souls, they are nearly unstoppable.", I agreed, "We need to contact Michael, Azazel, and a rep from the Devils. It's going to be the only way to broker some sort of alliance."

"How do you intend to do that?", Carol asked.

"They will come to us.", Spectre stated looking up into the sky, "The three of us have Divinity that is unlike anything here. It won't be long before someone comes to investigate."

Right on the money, within five minutes Michael arrived assuming that God had somehow returned. Showing up with him was Azazel who had also been hopeful of the same thing, but was saddened when it wasn't him. Asking me who I was, I told them I was a Hero from another world. Stating that I had come to clean up the mess the clown made, they wore relieved looks.

"You can send them back?", Azazel asked, "Fighting those Demons is a bitch and half...they don't stay down."

"I need broker peace between the four major factions first. All of you aren't going to survive unless I do that immediately. If the Devils become desperate enough they will use weapons from the Great War which will only further cause the world damage.", I told them, "Is there someone on that side we can talk with, I heard that Sirzechs met his end on-"

"Sirzechs had his souls devoured.", Michael stated, "His peerage, and most of his family were devoured...the commanders are terrifying. We can't get close without losing the ability to fight."

"That's because if you hold hatred in your heard near them you lose the strength required to fight.", I answered.

"Damn...", they sighed, "That would have been nice to know a while ago. We have lost a lot of good people trying various methods to get rid of them."

"I will also tell you the commander isn't going all out either, he very rarely uses all his power.", I informed them.

Pulling up seats, the men sighed loudly and rubbed their heads. Telling me that only Ajuka and Serafall were the only two Satan's left now, I requested they set up a meeting with them. The sooner we could broker peace the sooner I can focus on removing the Demon problem. Asking them if they also had information on where Joker came from, they shook their heads saying that they weren't aware of any of that information. He just showed up one day with the two groups in tow, and tossed them here laughing like a maniac ordering them to fight like their lives depended on it.

Giving them a phone to contact me, I decided visiting with the Demon Slayers would be the next step. Leading out group over to their makeshift headquarters, we found Zenitsu getting his loli massage...or rather what should have been training. Seeing the face he was making, my group shivered just looking at him.

"Come to join us...?", he asked with a gasp like he was in heaven.

"Can we maybe talk to someone not getting off to being pinned by children?", Ochaco and Momo asked politely.

"TANJIRO!!", Zenitsu shouted, "We have guests!!"

Opening the door, his friend just stared at him like he was a degenerate. Before they started bickering I introduced us to him, and shook his hand. Seeing his sister Nezuko poke her head out, several of the women gasped and ran over to hug her calling her the most adorable little girl they had seen...which upset both Eri's. Asking if I thought she was adorable, I said I thought they were more adorable which put a smile back on their faces. If they realized she could make herself smol or an adult I think Eri (Little Sister) might have fought her...given how close she was with my family.

"Tanjiro, I was hoping to have a conversation about current events if that's okay.", I asked.

"Sure!", he replied, "Let's go inside...away from the degenerate."

"I am not a degenerate...oh!!", he gasped.

Giving him a disgusted look, he shook his head and lead us inside to talk.
