"The only drawback is that Dormammu will not excessively invade other universes in the next hundred years, which will cause Dormammu's role in those nodes originally arranged in Strange's fate to be replaced by other Dimensional Demon God."
This is a bad thing for the future Doctor Strange.
Dormammu is considered one of the weaker Dimensional Demon God.
If he were replaced by a top-tier Multiverse God like Chthon or Cyttorak, Strange would probably be in for a rough time.
"Because you are not yet the Sorcerer Supreme and are not qualified to directly wield the Time Stone, I will demonstrate the use of the Time Stone to you every three days from now on. You can arrange the time in between as you see fit."
The Ancient One put down his teacup and left, leaving Meikyō alone in the empty secret room.
Three days later.
When Meikyō and the Ancient One emerged from the secret chamber once again, he left only a clone behind before heading to the One-Punch Man World.
A-City, Hero Apartment.
Upon arriving here, Meikyō retrieved the Wood Clone she had left behind and, while receiving information, began to use her senses to investigate the situation within a radius of tens of kilometers.
The reorganization of the Hero Association has been completed. Although the Hero Association now has less than half the financial and human resources it used to have, its overall ability to handle various monster-related disasters has not significantly declined.
The Hero Association's organizational strength and cohesion have improved significantly compared to the past. Although its financial resources are not as abundant as before, they are sufficient.
In the past, the various industries included in the Hero Association could only support 30% of the Hero Association's expenses, while the remaining 70% was invested by various wealthy individuals, with Arnieg accounting for the largest share, followed by Bōhuāfù and Zenil.
Now Zenil's position has been taken over by Genus, and most of his vast fortune has been divided up by the aforementioned individuals.
The Hero Association was rebuilt after its destruction, while the NEO Organization was the complete opposite, beginning to reveal various problems.
This organization itself developed into a force capable of rivaling the Hero Association in less than a month, and its rapid development laid many hidden problems.
Originally, as an emerging force, as long as the speed of development was fast enough, it would have been enough to suppress these drawbacks. However, those powerful and wealthy people who were driven out of the Hero Association by Arnieg waved their money and threw themselves into the arms of the NEO Organization after losing power.
This certainly wouldn't turn NEO Organization into the old Hero Association; in fact, the wealth and resources brought by those people greatly helped NEO Organization. However, NEO's indiscriminate expansion methods still brought about many problems in advance.
Overall, the situation in the One-Punch Man World is relatively stable at present.
Although the frequency of monster appearances has increased more than three times compared to the past, the existence of two powerful hero organizations has also helped to suppress these disasters.
Without the appearance of a monster at the peak of the Dragon-level, it won't cause too much of a stir. Without monsters above the Dragon level, Tatsumaki can handle it all and won't pose a significant threat to humanity, not to mention there's that invincible bald guy.
Well, right now a bald guy is lying next door, watching TV while picking his nose and grinning like an idiot.
Further away, about ten kilometers away, the Lightning Multi-Core Genos was fighting a monster.
Unlike usual, Genos wasn't attacked this time; instead, it was the Tanktop Master's Tanktop Army that was attacked. It's estimated that Genos will be able to defeat the Forest King's Forest Tribe soon.
The Invincible Myth of Genos's invincibility is likely to come to an end. Under normal circumstances, Genos can now defeat most Dragon-level monsters and can even hold his own against peak Dragon-level monsters for a certain period of time. Not to mention that the Forest King was also subdued by Genos. The probability of Genos losing is close to zero.
"Things are still pretty calm."
Sensing the intense battle on Genos's side, Meikyō tossed the Arc Reactor in his hand and commented.
Then, he reached out and opened a spatial portal, stepping into the Evolution Group's laboratory.
Upon entering, Meikyō saw a group of Genus clones hammering and dismantling a strange machine.
"You've finally arrived!"
Upon seeing Meikyō, Genus, dressed in a tailored suit, immediately approached him.
"What are you doing...?"
Before Meikyō could ask a question, Genus had already pulled Meikyō to a huge computer on that strange machine disk.
"Tell me quickly how you use your spatial abilities. Never mind, just stand next to this energy field detector and activate your spatial abilities once, any one of them!"
"Genus said excitedly."
"Um... okay."
Seeing the intense research drive that Genus was displaying, Meikyō had no choice but to follow suit.
"Oh, yes, that's it. And this, try it here again. I also need to test the changes in the magnetic field and gravity."
Meikyō spent another half a day helping Genus.
"Okay, now that you're done, can you finally tell me what you were doing?"
Meikyō asked Genus.
"Of course, it's for this big guy!"
As Genus watched the progress bar on the computer screen analyzing the data, he casually patted the instrument next to him.
"Is this thing related to space?"
"This is the warp drive on the Boros spaceship. With the dark energy reactor as the pre-engine power source, the combined power engine can theoretically propel a spaceship the size of A-City, weighing hundreds of millions of tons, for ultra-long-distance interstellar travel. According to calculations, considering relativity, the straight-line displacement of the spaceship over the past year can reach 100,000 light-years!"
Genus said with a face full of excitement.
"Isn't this... a bit too much?"
Meikyō believes that the concept of 100,000 light-years is somewhat outrageous.
The Milky Way is only 100,000 light-years in diameter.
"No, it's not an exaggeration at all, it's even quite conservative. Boros's spaceship took twenty years to travel from a galaxy cluster much more distant than the Milky Way to Earth. That scale is accurate. Once I thoroughly study it, I can develop a variety of space technologies. Even if we can't do what those aliens do due to energy limitations, as long as we integrate Dr. Kuseno's nuclear reactor technology, humanity can at least colonize the entire Solar System. This is a great step forward in advancing human evolution!"
"Genus said with certainty."
"I see. So if I said there was a technology that could produce output efficiency of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of kilowatts, what level could humans achieve?"
Meikyō smiled.
"Hundreds of millions of kilowatts? That's hard to say. Although it's not as powerful as a dark matter reactor, which is theoretically the most powerful energy source, it should be enough to allow humanity to easily expand its territory beyond the Solar System. At that time, traveling to Proxima Centauri would be as easy as going on a business trip from Q City to City M. At its furthest, it should be able to support humanity to reach the adjacent Sagittarius Arm and Perseus Arm. However, the premise is that we have the materials to build spaceships for long-distance interstellar travel. Why are you suddenly asking this?"
In front of Genus, Meikyō smiled and took a box out of his pocket and opened it.
Inside was the Arc Reactor, gleaming with a dazzling blue light.
"This is..."
Genus adjusted his Glasses.
"This is Arc Reactor. I got it by doing a huge favor. This palm-sized Arc Reactor can provide 5 billion joules of energy per second for three hours. That means if we build a reactor twice the size of this, we can activate a Black Hole Class Gravity Training Room. If we expand the diameter tenfold, which is equivalent to expanding the volume a hundredfold, it will have an energy output of 50 million kilowatts. If we make this thing the size of a house and control the output power, I think it could be used as a spaceship the size of an aircraft carrier to travel through interstellar space, right?"
Genus, his hands trembling, took the Arc Reactor from Meikyō's hands.
The blue light reflected off Genus's Glasses, illuminating his eyes.
"The energy revolution is the revolution of human technology. The invention of fire by friction enabled mankind to get rid of the barbarity of eating raw meat and drinking blood. The use of wind and water power reformed the history of agricultural development. The use of fossil fuels enabled mankind to enter the steam age and the electric age one after another. Now, the next era is in my hands."
Genus stared at the Arc Reactor with fascination, then put it back in the box and adjusted his Glasses.
"The origin of this thing... is unusual, isn't it? It shouldn't be... from this planet, right?"
This thing is beyond the capabilities of current Earth scientists. If it were, we should already be in the midst of the Fifth Industrial Revolution, and I should know the name of the person who invented it.
"Genus said with a sigh."
Fudō on the surface of the Meikyō.
He was actually prepared for the possibility that Genus might guess that this thing came from another universe.
Genus's intelligence is at the pinnacle of human potential, and for a long time, his own improvement in strength has been inseparable from the help of this technological genius.
It's not impossible that he knows many of my secrets and can guess part of my origins and the truth.
"So, where do you think he's from?"
Meikyō smiled and probed.
"I had a premonition when you and Saitama went to the moon and then to Mercury. Plus, many times when you stayed on Earth, it was very likely that you were just using clones, so..."
Genus pushed up his Glasses again.
"There's only one truth. You must have been working with Blast and those people with strong spatial abilities to indirectly achieve interstellar travel through interdimensional traversal, and go to other planets and civilizations in the universe, right? I was wondering why Blast rarely showed up."
Forehead...
This explanation...
It sounds surprisingly reasonable?
"This is the manufacturing technology for the Arc Reactor, including manufacturing methods for related equipment, as well as a method for manufacturing an isotope of palladium. See if you can make it."
Meikyō took out an USB drive and handed it to Genus.
Stark handed over the equipment he intended to use in his home base, the Naruto World.
With its technological capabilities, Genus is fully capable of manufacturing it, and it also has the financial resources.
"The information is very detailed. Although I haven't finished reading it yet, as long as the content matches the table of contents, I can create it. Tomorrow, you can call Tatsumaki over to use the Gravity Training Room."
Genus plugged the USB drive into the computer, looked at it for a few minutes, and then spoke to Meikyō.
"Okay, I'll bring Tatsumaki to see you tomorrow."
Meikyō nodded in agreement and activated the Teleportation Circle.
The next day, early morning.
Bright sunlight streamed into the room through the clean floor-to-ceiling windows.
Meikyō, his muscular upper body exposed, leaned against the headboard with his eyes slightly narrowed.
Sitting in front of him was Fubuki, her skin flushed, her eyes rolled back, looking like she'd been thoroughly Fubuki with.
One hour later.
Meikyō whistled and fastened his belt.
"I really... can't take it anymore! When we get to the lab later, I need to ask Dr. Genos if he has any technology to enhance the body. You've been pushing me like this, I'm about to fall apart!"
Fubuki lay sprawled on the sheets, a posture that reminded Meikyō of how she had been leaning against the glass door of the bathroom yesterday.
"That's good. Your Psychic Power have reached their limit. Strengthening your physical body is the only way for you to continue to get stronger. However, I don't know if Genus has any physical enhancement technology without side effects. So I suggest you find some powerful physical martial artists like Old Man Bang to learn from."
Meikyō pulled up his pants and said.
"Martial arts? I remember you were quite good at swordsmanship and martial arts, weren't you? Silver Fang seemed to have said that you and that Garou were once-in-a-millennium geniuses in martial arts. Why don't you teach me?"
Fubuki immediately climbed onto Meikyō's back, pressed her face against him, and asked.
"Me? It's not impossible, but I don't have much experience with hand-to-hand combat. I'm more skilled in swordsmanship. Men and women have different body compositions, so my methods might not be useful for you. My suggestion is that you find some martial artists who are good at this to build a foundation before you learn from me."
Meikyō thought for a moment and then answered.
He's quite good at teaching.
He was Jonin a team, and he also took care of children in the Pirate World.
However, his students either had already graduated from the Ninja Academy or had studied with others for quite some time, so their foundations were already very solid.
"Hmm... female martial artists? Nunchaku Lily from the Blizzard Group, who uses nunchucks, should be able to introduce me to some. There's also Mizuki, the champion who joined the Hero Association half a year ago. I remember she's also a champion in the sports world. She'll probably reach A-rank soon. If we bring her closer to the Blizzard Group, we'll have another Admiral..."
Fubuki rested her head on Meikyō's shoulder and muttered softly.
"Smack!"
A crisp, resonant clapping sound rang out.
"Ah! What are you doing! You slapped my skin all swollen last night, why are you doing this again!"
Fubuki blushed and said.
"Hurry up and put your clothes on. Don't forget what we're doing today. Your sister should be here in a few dozen seconds."
Meikyō looked at Fubuki, who was barely clothed, and said with a smile.
Fubuki hurriedly started getting dressed.
