#1 MONTH AND 2 WEEKS LATER#
TREVOR POV
"This is pure bullshit," I say to myself reading about a green light-wielding hero that appeared yesterday night in the newspaper
This is getting way too out of hand now
The Modified Wolverine serum will be ready in a few hours, I know it won't be enough to keep me safe even a bit. It will make me stronger though
The Widow serum has improved a lot for me
I am glad for the essence of the ROB has not only did it make me stronger than before. It's making me capable of evolving my abilities by aging but I doubt that is all it does.
The ROB that gave them to me could very well have left out some information about the essence that he gave me I mean if it really did just that I wouldn't have accepted to come to DC
Well, he could have forced me
The essence of the ROB would have to be something truly powerful and not just something that makes me more powerful over time, there has to be something more
I am sure of it
The question is what
I spent months trying to meditate and yet, I never discovered any other abilities
I sigh as I go to the bedroom to rest up for a bit
I close my eyes and rest, right before I go to sleep for a while
#HOURS LATER#
I open my eyes as I hear an explosion happening outside and I rush to the window and see a huge blast of green and yellow light.
"God, dammit all," I say to myself
It's probably Hal Jordan fighting Sinestro or something
I am weak
So damn weak
I glare at the explosions happening while my knees shake in fear and anger
After, around half an hour passes the battle is over as no more explosions happen
I genuinely don't know
But, I did come up with a realization
I can't stay here it's too dangerous
But where would I even go
This entire world is dangerous
I go down to my lab and smile as the next serum is ready
I prepare myself and lay in the chamber as it injects the serum into me
I do my best to fall asleep which doesn't take long
I pass out
#UNKNOWN TIME LATER#
I open my eyes and the first thing is
I am hungry no
I am starving
Also. thirsty
I run up to the kitchen struggling to stand all the while
I stumble into the kitchen and grab a glass of water I left there
As I drink, I can feel myself getting a bit better but I am still starving
I get some food ham from the fridge and start eating it whole
I keep eating until my hunger goes away
As I sit down at the kitchen table to rest I fall down the chair and into the ground as my head begins to hurt
After, a while the pain goes away as I pant on the ground
"Enhanced senses," I say to myself in pain
I stand up and look at myself in a mirror
"Wow, this is awesome," I whisper to myself but thanks to my enhanced senses it feels as if I screamed out loud with speakers powerful enough to shake the ground.
(That's going to be a pain) I realized
I went back to my lab
As I reached it, I headed straight to my Nth Metal longsword
When I touched it immediately afterward, I felt something in my mind open and soon I was hearing voices in my head which I quickly managed to get under control but then I heard the voice of the ROB
("Ok, so at this point, you have probably guessed that there is the possibility that I didn't tell you everything about the essence that I gave you. Also, this message is a recording that I made beforehand. There are a few others but that's it. After, those I will only exist in your memories forever. Don't worry at this point, I am truly gone. As I said this is a recording.") Said the voice
("The first recording will be when you unlock what may qualify as true telepathy/telekinesis. If you didn't use any of the serum beforehand you would be hearing this message when you turn eighteen. If you are younger and managed to obtain them beforehand congrats. Since you are still growing, the time before you reach your prime, this is the best time to push yourself with the serums.")
As I hear the message in my head I listen to everything even though I am sure that since its a recording, I will be able to listen to it again later
("Now, that you have telepathy try to reach into your mindscape. There you will find a colorless crystal and think of what world you want to go into. Yes, I gave this to you quite early. For good reason too. What did you really expect me to not help you? I am not a god idiot. I was isekai'ed too.")
I was surprised and rather happy about it since this means that
("I know what it's like to start with basically nothing. That's why I decided to help you out. I sent you to DC to teach you a lesson that I am sure you won't forget. After this message is over the first time. You will no longer have my artificial plot survivor armor. Yes, you wouldn't die in any sense until after you turn 18 or unlock true telepathy. I know that will probably piss you off but that's payback for tricking me.")
"Damn it," I said to myself not happy that I could have gone looking for Tala's mirror or the Mariana Trench for the Trident
("Ok, so the way that you used the crystal is simple just think of what world you want to go to and the crystal will change to a certain color. White means that the world poses absolutely no threat to you at all. It means that you are at the level where nothing can kill you at all. Yellow means that it possess some threat to you. Keep in mind that this is if you go to a universe where there are no powers. So basically just a normal Earth with nothing special at all whatsoever. Bullets and nukes can kill you if they get a lucky shot or something. Orange means that it will be challenging to some degree. This color means that people will have some level of power but nothing beyond the planetary level.
Red Orange means that there are beings at the galaxy level at most. However, this is some dangerous territory. As beings there can possibly travel through dimensions and if some are stubborn/stupid and knowledgable about the multiverse and beyond.
They can follow you back here
So be careful.
Red means that you will die to either a universal to multiversal being that notices you don't belong there. The last and final color are worlds that you can't go to yet and are so far out of your comprehension that you would be annihilated immediately.
Is black
These worlds you can't go to at all, whatsoever, until you are powerful enough for them to become at least Red, understand.
You can travel back and forth between worlds after a 1-hour cooldown. However, after you go back to DC you will have to wait 2 hours to get back the first time. Afterward, its back to the 1-hour cooldown
You will only be able to go into movie worlds possibly tv series as well with no true multiverse attached to them until you get the Sentry Serum, then you can go anywhere provided that it's not the black color.
I have to be honest with you
You seem like a smart guy not like those other 2
Yes, there were others before you that I sent to different worlds.
One was an otaku girl who I sent into the Narutoverse
Unfortunately, I gave her some wishes
For the three wishes, I gave her a gamer system, the bloodline of the Ootsuki god, and the knowledge of The Root from the Nasuverse and the capacity to use it to its full extent.
She was stupid
She chose to be reborn in Konoha where she was kidnapped by Danzo once she began to train Mokutun in the open like an idiot after which he discovered her true bloodline when she was 7 and began to breed her at 13 in order to make more soldiers for him to brainwash for 22 years. He easily managed to break her and make her his weapon to conquer the world alongside her offspring. The males he made his soldiers and the females were sent to be bred when they were old enough.
Until he caught the attention of the Ootsuki clan and by extension the Ootsuki god who came for her and her offspring and repeated the cycle once he found out she was like him and bred her himself.
He also managed to find out about the Gamer and she gave him access to it and he conquered the entire Narutoverse until I reset that entire verse
The second was a guy who I only managed to give a gamer system never seen in the omniverse capable of giving the user infinite potential and the capability of reaching it to match. He became powerful enough to beat a lot of the Marvelverse. However, he was defeated by Knull and partially devoured by him, which granted him access to his system. He then forced the guy to breed his own two adoptive daughters plus his two wives and then trained the children only to be killed and absorbed by his All-Black to increase his power.
He repeated this process many times.
The guy stopped trying to get stronger as he had obtained all six infinity stones but forgot that there will always be someone stronger
Until I hit the reset button with him again
After that my power was severely diminished to the point that I was forced to not give you any wish whatsoever. Which thankfully appeared to be a blessing in disguise since you actually know what is more or less to your benefit
If you don't this part of the message will explain it a bit more
This omniverse or whatever is left anyway was abandoned by The One Above All. Essentially given to me by him since I was one of the few ROBs left that wasn't bloodthirsty and actually tried to reverse the damage that was done to it
Aiden tried to help me out as well but he was forced out of this omniverse by The One Above All to the one that he made by ripping out some universes from this one and then making his own universes then multiverses until finally, he made his own omniverse
Yes
Aiden is that powerful
Moving on
After I was given the omniverse, I was attacked and you know the rest
I am sure that at this point I am more or less gone if not a vegetable or cosmic dust at this point
The reason why I looked for people randomly is that I am leaving the key to this omniverse to you")
I took all of this information in
I have the key to the omniverse
"What the fuck is this," I say to myself
"Oh my god," I say out loud before having the urge to throw up
"There is no God," I say while I nearly pee myself out of fear
("You are the only one besides those two that knows. So don't go out saying you have it.
If beings of Azathoth or The Scarlet King's level find out. They will do anything to get you on their side. Either willingly or not. Your compliance will not be a factor.
Don't worry no one can find out you have it unless they have either Aiden's or The One Above All's permission to locate it. Even if you were next to them. You can think it all you want in your head. But, the moment you say it out loud, then they can find out.
This omniverse is yours now
There are huge benefits to having the key.
When you go to a different universe you are given access to anything that is considered the main source of power. For example, if you go to the Dragon Ball multiverse you will gain KI or at least the ability to harness it the way they do.
You are also given the ability to obtain the different forms of it. God ki, Demonic Ki, Time KI, or Space KI. However, if you go to a world like Naruto, you will have no elemental affinity until you use a Jutsu for any of them then that will become your primary elemental affinity. You will only be able to get four in the specific order you won't be able to get the 5th.
That is up to you to find out how to get it
Beings like The Living Tribunal or The Spectre will more or less become your servants however, you will have to say to them that you hold the key and prove it. This will be rather easy as once you figure out how to use any magic, you have to draw on the power of the key and use any spell that is powered by it.
Which they will be able to recognize
Remember that there are beings far more powerful than The Living Tribunal or The Spectre. To the point that they will seem like normal humans trying to fight a universal-level bomb.
However, they will only truly become your servants once you are old enough or become mid-multiversal level. You can find them before but once you prove to them that you have the key. They will leave you to your own devices until you are powerful enough to call them to you and obey your orders. If they have any underlings they will tell them to stay out of your way or at least be as polite as they can for fear of punishment.
Don't worry about Lucifer in DC
He is dead
Truly dead
Don't panic")
"Too late jackass," I say while throwing up on the floor
I am trembling all over
"WHY ME DAMMIT ALL," I scream out loud before I begin to cry out in fear as I understood the implications of the message
("Right now, no one knows who you truly are but beings capable of seeing different universes will soon notice that you don't have any counterparts anywhere in either other worlds or timelines
So keep your head low, bide your time, and fight battles you know you can win
If you die, this omniverse dies too
Now I have to end this recording here.
I still have to record the others.
The next one will be when you get the Sentry serum
Also, the crystal will give you more information about how it works and some other functions
Goodbye and good luck")
I was on the floor next to my own vomit curled up in a ball shaking in terror
I don't know how long I stayed here
Minutes, hours, I don't know
What I do know
Is that I have no idea what to do now
Even after I take the Sentry and lifeline serums what good would that do me
I will have to wait until...
Wait...
Waiting...
OH SHIT, THAT'S TRUE I JUST HAVE TO WAIT
I shake my head in disbelief as my brain fully processes everything I just learned
After, the lifeline serum I would just have to wait until I become powerful enough, and who says that I just have to wait?
"I can go to other worlds and become powerful enough to beat everyone there and wait until finally boom. I am powerful enough to defend against anything that comes my way," I say to myself before I realize that I said that out loud
Then I notice the vomit and I sigh as I proceed to clean it up
(Still, though, Lucifer is dead. That's a surprise. I never finished Shippuden as the fillers pissed me off to no end and I just stopped watching altogether. There was that cool Ultra instinct plus Ultra Ego Vegito who went Kratos on the gods.) I thought excitedly before I remembered how I acted during the message
"I am pathetic," I whisper self-deprecating myself with the reality of my situation
I am alone in the DC universe and possibly the entire Omniverse
Sure, I have some powers and knowledge on how to give myself more
I have something called the Key of the Omniverse
I am supposed to be its ruler or something
I don't know
I am scared
Absolutely terrified at the death world that I am in right now
DC possibly only rivaled Marvel in terms of danger for someone who knows a bit about its cosmology
Now that I truly realize the scope of how dangerous this world is it could have been a lot worse
Truthfully, I am elated that I am not in the SCP universe
I shake my head as I finish cleaning the vomit
I am alone
But, do I have to
Quite possibly
I don't want this
If I die everything and everyone dies
Including my original world...
The crystal...
Can I go back...
I go upstairs and sit down and focus everything I have on the crystal
I appear in a crimson-red room with a bright gold color lining on the corners
In the middle is the tiny little crystal, no bigger than a toenail
As I go and approach crystal I stop as my hand nearly closes around it
"No," I say
"No more,"
"I won't live afraid of everything around me," I begin saying loudly
How many people would give their souls for the chance that I have?
How many wish to explore other universes?
How many have dreamed of this chance?
How many would take it?
The chance to be able to be more than what they were previously
I imagine the room having a door and I open it and walk through it
I can feel my body being pushed to its limits to make this
Making another room in my mindscape imagine a journal and a pencil
As I imagine a desk and a chair
I sit down and begin to write about which worlds to go first
As Write down a list of worlds that I remember where I can get more powers I realized something
That asshole
The essence of the ROB would have made me something like Saitama just pure strength at least plus some telekinetic powers
Sure, it sounds incredible but in reality, I would have had no more different powers that I can think of
Superstrength, Healing factor, Superspeed, telekinesis/telepathy and I think that would be it that I can think of at the top of my head
I wince as I think about my knowledge of information about the serums
I got knowledge of how to operate the machines to create the serums. I know how to make them from scratch. Plus, I understand every single aspect of its compounds
So, in total, I was given a decent level of knowledge of engineering, chemistry, biology, and even physics
But, not enough to make much of a difference, at least here in DC
I look at the list of worlds
Chronicle
Limitless
Aladdin
The Mummy
Lord of the Rings/Hobbit/Shadow
Star Wars
Percy Jackson
Harry Potter
Resident Evil
I Am Legend
Dawn Of The Dead
Terminator
RWBY
Naruto
This is the list so far
Limitless for the NZT-48 the abilities it unlocks and gives are incredible
Hypermind, Instant learning, Instant analysis, Omnilingualism, Superhuman charisma, Superhuman dexterity, Superhuman sensory absorption, Superhuman instincts, Hypercompetence, and possibly age shifting.
Plus True Multitasking which while it may not seem like a superpower in the show or movie Eddie was capable of performing multiple tasks at the same time efficiently.
But, most important of all is the ability to Perfect Recall
In the show, Eddie says that he focuses on his memories of being in his mother's womb
On her freaking womb
Even now that I have telepathy, I can't remember a lot of my childhood in my first life. Heck, even in this life I have forgotten some details already
Granted some of the memories are still slowly returning now that I am focusing on them more but still, I can't remember everything perfectly
I am pretty sure I won't need the booster shot which nullifies the side effect or even the permanent immunity shot. Thanks to my new abilities I may even be able to bypass the side effects.
However, my new healing may be a problem
Since I can heal super fast this means that my metabolism may burn through the pill incredibly fast. From what I remember from the movie and the show is that it lasts until you go to sleep or at least 16 hours
I would probably burn through it in an hour at best. Worst case scenario it will only last a few minutes.
But, maybe with my knowledge of serums, I can perhaps make the pill into a serum that makes the positive effects permanent
But that is huge if
Chronicle
The giant meteor on the hole granted three teenagers telekinesis and a form of telepathy although that is a very weak version of it to the point that it was nerfed down to a form of empathy or it just wasn't really shown.
It may be able to boost my own powers even further and the best part of it is that in the movie the teen's powers gradually increased.
It was never shown if they would have ever reached a limit to their powers so theoretically they could have reached a respectable level
With the essence that I have, I may be able to boost it
Aladdin
Just for the wish lamp, I don't care about the story, just the lamp
The genie doesn't try to screw over someone with their wishes.
Three wishes, possibly two if I am feeling generous plus the gold in the cave will help me with my current financial situation
Just sell a decent amount of it to a pawn shop or a black market for gold items which may draw some attention but as long as I keep my head low I should be fine
Probably
Still thinking about it
The Mummy
This is one that I am not too sure about. Truthfully, I would probably take all of the gold from the first movie and leave.
Again, my financial situation is a bit bad right now.
Lord of the rings/Hobbit/ Shadow series
Now this world is one that I would totally go to for three reasons
The new ring, elf-made weapons, and again the gold
The new ring made by Talion and Celebrimbor is the one thing that I want more than anything
It allows someone to obtain abilities similar to that of a wraith similar to Celebrimbor. It gives access to ice, fire, and poison types of magic. But, the best part of it
Is that I can dominate the minds of others
Sure, in the game you can't dominate others with an unshakable will until you break them, and even then they can still resist.
One aspect that was never really mentioned is that this ability grows more powerful the more beings you have dominated
He eventually, managed to dominate Isildur to the point that he had complete control of the Nazgul right down to the soul.
Add that to my own growing telepathic powers
I can probably have people loyal enough that would kill themselves if I ordered it
I can make the black market dealer my "servant" and purchase my gold without any issues
The elf-made weapons are not exactly a big deal but I would like to get them given the chance
I would try to sneak around to the troll cave and get the weapons and a decent amount of gold before I get out of there and scram without the need of getting into a fight with a dragon
The gold is just for the money
Star Wars
Just for the technology to travel through space
Percy Jackson
For the Golden Fleece and a golden apple
I may even go the Sun Wukong route and give myself numerous amounts of immortality
Even if they can bypass one form of it, I will still survive
Harry Potter
Magic and two of the unforgivables
Imperio and the killing curse
Imperio to reinforce my control over my "servants"
The Killing Curse would be a boon
Imagine a wizard using it on Superman
Yeah, a spell that is said to be unblockable which was disproven early on but, against regular people like Batman game over.
If I have to fight Batman get in close and he's dead with one lucky shot
But, there was a reason Marcellus didn't attempt to learn magic until after he obtained the Sentry Serum
The Void
If I do get a Void and it knows magic combined with the reality alteration it's basically game over when combined with reality manipulation
Resident Evil
The Red Queen A.I
I know that I heard or read that there is a code that can be used to reprogram her and change her commands
With the right ones, I can have a self-evolving A.I that can help me out in this world
But, there is the chance of it evolving past my commands and deciding to rebel
I am Legend the 2007 movie
For comic books and possibly some books that I can memorize in order to improve my knowledge
Possibly take a vehicle or two that I can reinforce at best
Can possibly raid a couple of labs for materials
Also, take any jewelry I can find
Dawn of the Dead
For comics and weapons
Guns might not be that useful in DC much, but I can probably get them for the worst-case scenario if I am ever depowered or something
Save them in stashes around the world in case it all goes DCeased also it might help in some worlds where they are not readily available
The movie revolves around the main cast being in a zombie world stuck in a mall with a gun shop or rather an armory
A mall filled with supplies that I may find some use for
The clothes will be an alright benefit too
Food and water will be a huge boon as I am trying to save money right now
Jewelry will be plentiful
When my mind powers reach a decent level to where I can more or less make a black market dealer purchase the jewelry without asking too many questions
Worst case scenario I smelt the jewelry myself and sell it that way
Terminator
If I can get my hands on one of the reprogrammed terminators and tell them to give me every bit of knowledge I can get about how they are made plus the information that they have. I can have my own robot army plus the scientific breakthroughs that Skynet made
RWBY
I would like to get Aura but the problem is that semblance can be random.
From Aura Amplification to passive bad luck
Sure, I can get lucky and get something like teleportation but if I am not I can get something that makes me feel ten times the pain with no other benefit
Naruto
Chakra and then work my way up to sage chakra if possible
Although, I can possibly pop in to before Kaguya ate the Chakra fruit and eat it myself
I think about a few worlds
"I am probably going to Limitless since the pill allowed Eddie to make some great plans," I said remembering how he went from book writing to using the stock market to become a millionaire
But, I just don't know how to get into the stock market
I facepalm as I realize that I already know which companies to invest in
Wayne Enterprises, Queen industries, Luthorcorp, and Star Labs
If I am right, their stocks should be on the rise and even more when other invasions happen.
If they are too pricey and the stock market is too much of a pain to deal with then I will just look for other ways to make money
I grab the crystal and I am disappointed that the Narutoverse is black as I can't go there yet
RWBY, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, and Lord Of The Rings are red
Resident Evil and Terminator are orange
The Mummy, I am Legend(2007), Limitless, and Chronicle are all yellow
So, movies are the better option
Sure, I can maybe go to an orange world and risk it but I am not stupid
I know my limitations
After, a few minutes of thinking I decide to go to the world of limitless
Am I being cowardly?
Yes, yes I am
I could wait to get the Sentry Serum and then go out into other worlds but the issue is that once the serum has started to be made the last stages of its completion cannot be interrupted in any way or I will have to start from the beginning.
That would be months of progress wasted
Making something like that and trying to keep it hidden from anyone else would be a pain in the ass.
Considering that this is DC one of the most notorious worlds for basically giving the middle finger to everyone that gets some form of power.
For now, I will focus on making the energy serum
I have everything that I need to create it as I already have everything nearly ready for its creation however, I truly don't want to take it in this world.
This is why I am going to the world of Dawn Of The Dead and taking it there
The Wolverine Serum knocked me out for a few days
That's not something I can afford to go through again
If a battle happens I don't want someone crashing through my home and discovering me in the pod and asking questions I can't afford to answer
I get out of my mindscape as I go prepare some stuff I will need
I have the perfect timeframe in the world of Limitless to appear
A few minutes before Eddie returns to his former brother-in-law's apartment and I can take his stash of NZT-48. Then use some of the money alongside it in that world and prepare myself for the world of Dawn Of The Dead.
Eddie Morra was surprisingly from what I remember the smartest NZT user ever.
He didn't immediately use it to gain money
Well he did, but that was after around two months of getting his life together
I get changed into some normal clothes and bring a backpack with me
Thankfully, when I go to another universe the time ratio is 1/1,000 which means a thousand days in another world equals a day in DC for now
I put the chemicals in a storage locker for safe keeping and make sure that I have some supplies with me already
"Ok, let's do this," I say as I go into my mindscape and get the crystal and think about the world of Limitless
The moment Eddie's brother-in-law killer is out I go in take the pills and cash then leave and think about finding a weapon seller and wait a few days before going to Dawn Of The Dead with a few trips back here and set everything for my ascension
(N/A: Remember if it goes too fast its because this is a short story)
