SURPRISE BY SYSTEM
Yumi and Nova looked at each other quitely. Suddenly both of them got surprised as their system interfaces appeared infornt of them.
[DING! IT IS DETECTED THAT OTHER SYSTEM IS NOT A MALICIOUS SYSTEM]
[DING! BOTH SYSTEMS HAVE VERY COMPATIBLE FUNCTIONS. ONE SYSTEMS MAIN FUNCTION IS OF 'MULTIVERSAL TRADE' AND OTHER SYSTEMS MAIN FUNCTION IS 'MULTIVERSAL QUEST']
[ DOES BOTH HOST'S WISH TO COMBINE THESE FUNTIONS AND CREATE A NEW INDEPENDENT SYSTEM?
NOTE→ HOST'S INDIVIDUAL SYSTEM WONT BE COMPROMISED, ONLY A NEW SYSTEM WOULD BE CREATED. THIS SYSTEM WOULD BE OPERATED BY BOTH HOST'S WITH EQUAL AUTHORITY]
----
Both Yumi and Nova, didn't even think and rejected the combination, for now. Afterall they still are not comfortable with each other, they don't trust other party.
Yumi and Nova looked at each other quitely as they processed the notification. Suddenly his Omni-Dex vibrated.
As Nova took out Omni-Dex, Yumi's eyes widened as she looked at the hourglass logo. She turned to look at Nova's arms and frowned. Altough she didn't see Omnitrix, she did see a normal but a luxurious watch.
Nova smiled at her mysteriously, and looked at the message in the Omni-Dex.
WANDA:- Hey Nova, we are prepared on our side. Just waiting for you.
NOVA:- I am currently busy right now, I'll message you when I am free. See ya!
With that, Nova put down his Omni-Dex and smiled as Yumi was still looking at his watch disguised Omnitrix.
Suddenly Yumi spoke," My goal is just to become powerful and live a regretless life. I don't have any ambition, I just want to live my life freely."
Getting the hint, Nova said," Since we don't have any major conflict of opinions, how about we become partner's."
Yum smiled," What type of partners? How do we ensure that other party doesn't stab in the back?"
Nova smiled and tapped a few times on the system interface, causing a new translucent window to shimmer into view. Golden circuitry-like patterns pulsed around the document as a refined notification rang out.

The two stared at the detailed agreement, which had almost 50+ clauses for a moment. Yumi raised an eyebrow. "Damn, that's thorough."
Yumi tapped [ACCEPT] after a few seconds of thought. "Alright, partner. But if you break any of these... I'll make sure the system's penalties feel merciful compared to what I'll do."
Nova mirrored her action, pressing [ACCEPT] with a grin. "Fair enough."
[DING! CONTRACT OF EQUAL PARTNERSHIP ACTIVATED]
----
As the contract finalized, Nova removed the disguise off his Omnitrix. Yumi looked at the Omnitrix and smiled," Level 20 technology, the Omnitrix, carrying DNA of millions of aliens. The Noah Arc."
Shaking her head, Yumi continued," Well since you showed sincerity, I don't want to be ungrateful. Official my quirk is elemental control. But what they don't know is that, core of elemental attack is an energy... The Chakra."
Looking at surprised looks of Nova, Yumi smiled and continued," I got chakra as an early novice gift. Altough system awakened at the age of 17 but it did send novice gift pack early. So I have been using chakra to disguise my actual quirk, which is restructure. It's very similar to Overhaul's quirk. Whatever I touch, I gain it's structural information instantly and using my quirk, I can change the structure of the item, or any organic matter within seconds."
Nova nodded," So if anybody have been understanding of biology, especially of head, he could use this quirk to restructure the entire head. That's the reason you are hiding your real quirk, using it All-For-One could heal his potato shaped head."
Yumi nodded," Indeed and so it's better to hide the quirk. Besides chakra is quite powerful energy. We can become 1st rank hero/expert with hard work and training."
Nova nodded," Indeed chakra is a battle oriented energy. It has potential for to reach 1st rank hero, it's a suprise that our both system use similar power grading, but to go further one needs special bloodlines... Bloodlines that are closer to Otsutsuki clan. So do you have...?"
Yumi shook her head," No, I only got chakra not any bloodline."
Nova nodded. After a while he asked," So what the core your system? As you may have guessed, core of my system is trade and contract in multiverse."
After hesitating for a while, Yumi answered," Core of my system is quest. I get quests from multiverse, these quests are issued unknownigly by people. If I accept it, I have to complete the quest according to their wishes. It's quite troublesome. Like if a person wants to travel to a place hundred kilometres far by cycle, i have to travel along on a cycle. I can't use an gadget or superpower to travel."
Nova looked thoughtful and asked," So like if you accept quest related to Uchiha Sasuke, then you will have to help him train and give him information about Uchiha's demise or maybe directly killing Itachi. But what if he mid way decides not decides not to kill Itachi because Itachi is so called hidden hero of Konoha?"
Yumi shrugged," Then I can't do anything, I have to follow his wishes. Or I could leave the quest midway. Then I will get half the quest rewards."
" That's quite troublesome," After sometime he asked," So how many quests have you completed till now? Afterall it's been 13 of so years since you got your system."
Yumi smiled," There are limits to the number of quests I can take in a year. Like I can only take a super quest once in a ten years. High level quests five times a year and mid level quests, ten times a year and low ranking quests can be taken fifty times a year.
So I will share only major one, like I helped demon slaying corps to kill Muzan and other demons. Then I also helped Doremon, to tutor Nobita for his exams. I also have helped Ben 10 defeat Vilgax, altough I was just helper there. I also helped Hua Yuhao and his mother escape from Duke mansion."
Hearing the adventures of Yumi, Nova raised his eyebrows and felt very surprised. But one thing that caught his attention was," Did you really meet Ben 10?"
Yumi smiled," Indeed I met Ben 10, teen Ben 10 actually. It was his first battle against Vilgax. We together defeated him."
After calming down, Nova said," Well you have got many rewards from these quests?"
Yumi nodded," Indeed I got many rewards like Anywhere Door, the Hoverboard, All elemental breathing techniques, alien weapons and my personal favorite, my martial spirit Spirit Eyes, which are exactly same as Hua Yuhao. So due to this, I am am a low 'Surface' rank powerhouse."
Once again, Nova got surprised. But after thinking a bit, he nodded. She had her past life memories for thirteen years, she had countless experience of quests and her own profession as a hero. So her being a Surface rank powerhouse, is understandable.
Infact he himself is also on verge of becoming a 1st rank powerhouse. He have been relentlessly training using the gravity braclets that he created using Grey Matter and Upgrade individually and then as a fusion.
His peak combat power is also a peak of 1st rank hero, as becoming an alien ehances his own strength. But he confused as his strength should be more than 1st rank.
Afterall Ben 10, whose physical strength, let's say is around Enhanced which is exaggeration but anyway, after becoming aliens he could defeat Vilgax and other enemies.
And as he grew, strength of his aliens also grew. Like teenager turning into a adult.
His previous conception was that, strength of alien would increase based on his base strength. But that's not the case.
So he used his brainy aliens like Grey Matter and Brainstorm and got the reason. The reason is very simple, his strength is actually enhancing the aleins strength but the aliens themselves are in teenage years. Basically aliens themselves are not adult, not at their own peak.
Even then, aliens have peak limits. Like limit of Four Arms race is around Demi-God. Well not every four arms have talent enough to become Demi-God. It's just the limit. It's very difficult for them to reach Demi-God rank. In fact very few of them could reach 'Surface' rank let alone Demi-God.
So right now, his aliens are in early periods of their teenage, so his aliens need to go through their teenage years, to grant him significant strength boost. This discovery is the reason why he commissioned a super computer made up by Tony Stark. He will use that supercomputer, after upgrading and removing all the backdoors ofcourse, to find the solution of this problem.
Suddenly, Nova was jolted out of his thoughts as heard Yumi say," Wanna go on a high level quest with me?"
Nova looked at her with confused expression and uttered," Ehh..?"
