Meikyō reached out and moved the wine bottle in front of Tatsumaki's table, replacing it with juice, ignoring Tatsumaki's angry glare.
This girl can't hold her liquor; she gets red-faced after one bottle and goes on a drunken rampage after three.
"Speaking of Gods, the results of Blast's recent investigation show that Gods are likely not beings from our world. Genus and Metal Knight have jointly analyzed the black cubes that were recovered and believe that our universe cannot produce such a substance. The God can create such a substance is not only not a being from this universe, but is more likely a higher-dimensional being, which is why he can cross worlds."
Sitch drank a glass of baijiu and said with a solemn expression.
If Genus's speculation is correct, then they may be facing more than just a powerful monster.
Instead, it was a God who controlled the entire universe and was trying to invade their world!
"So why did he travel all the way from another world to come here? Is there something here? Or is their world about to be destroyed?"
The Zombie Man asked Sitch, but the latter simply shook his head.
"I don't know about that. We still have too little information about the Gods."
"Their universe shouldn't be destroyed."
Meikyō took a bite of the mutton roll that Fubuki fed her and suddenly spoke up.
"At a certain level, the universe itself becomes a huge treasure, not only because of the resources of another universe, but also because of the differences between different universes."
Meikyō looked out the window with a deep gaze.
On the moon, which has huge craters, a giant covered in holes can be vaguely seen crawling.
The others followed Meikyō's gaze curiously, but saw nothing, except that Tatsumaki seemed to have sensed something.
"He already possesses a universe, with energy and matter, everything he could want. However, the entropy of a universe has a limit. To reduce the entropy in a system, one can only obtain energy from the outside. Furthermore, because different universes have different rules, even very similar Parallel Universes have many differences."
Just like leaves, no two leaves in the world are exactly the same. Leaves of the same species and from the same tree may be similar in shape and size, but leaves from different trees are even more different.
By contacting and devouring different universes, he can access more rules and become more powerful.
How do you know so much?
Sweet Mask looked at Meikyō with a suspicious expression.
Could it be...?
"It's very simple. It's because I've also reached this level. I'm omniscient and omnipotent, I've mastered the rules and used them for my own purposes, I have insight into the universe, and I've ascended to a higher-dimensional life form."
Meikyō calmly put down the glass, a smile playing on his lips, and said pretentiously.
The room suddenly fell silent, with only the sound of Saitama slurping Udon remaining.
"Huh? Why are you all quiet? Weren't you chatting away just now?"
Saitama poked his bald head out of the large bowl, his salty fish eyes filled with curiosity.
"Slap! Saitama- sensei! Didn't you hear that? Omniscience and omnivision! Mastering the rules, understanding everything in the universe, a higher-dimensional life form—this already sounds like a power that normal humans can't understand or access!"
Genos jumped up from his chair, his eyes shining.
Saitama took out a toothpick and pressed it between his teeth.
"Um... I didn't quite understand, but it should mean that Meikyō, you've become very, very strong, right?"
Saitama's tone held a hint of anticipation.
Meikyō sensed this expectation.
In fact, Meikyō was also very curious whether he, now God in the Multiverse, could fight Saitama.
"Hmm, that should be pretty strong."
Meikyō nodded to Saitama.
"Hmph, bragging."
Tatsumaki rolled her eyes at Meikyō.
However, she also knew in her heart that what Meikyō said might be true.
Back then, Meikyō could barely hold her own against Blast, and while she could suppress Tatsumaki, the difference in strength wasn't particularly significant.
Now, she can no longer comprehend Meikyō's strength at all.
"However, I am not clear about the true power of the Gods. After all, the existence of Gods is extremely ancient. The earliest records can be traced back to the primitive tribe period. Over thousands of years, they have already eroded a part of this universe through faith and other means. To fight against them, we would need at least Saitama's power."
Meikyō gestured for Genos to sit down and explained to the crowd.
He was only at the initial stage of entering the Multiverse, and could only barely manage a draw against Dormammu, a bottom-tier Dimensional Demon God.
And what about the Gods?
Meikyō didn't know, but he figured it shouldn't be as bad as Dormammu.
If it were a high-ranking Multiverse God, Meikyō estimated that he might not be a match for it.
The One-Punch Man World, the Pirate World, and the Marvel Naruto World are all fundamentally different from the Marvel universe. This is because the Marvel Universe has the Infinity Stones. Possessing all the Infinity Stones is equivalent to controlling the entire universe, which is like the control system of the universe.
Only when the six gems of the Meikyō were present could that universe be easily refined.
But how easy is it to obtain six gems? Most Dimensional Demon God select representatives in various timelines, lay out plans, establish power, and gradually erode the resistance forces of this universe. Then, they use their own dimensions to devour these timelines in order to strengthen their own power.
Mephisto and Dormammu did just that, using their own hellish and Dark Dimensions to devour other spacetimes.
Is there a way to refine that spacetime without devouring it?
Yes, for example, the Eye Demon, who commands hundreds of timelines, but Meikyō doesn't know how to implement this method.
However, there is now more speculation.
There is no doubt that the power of the Gods can influence this world, and the means of doing so is through those black cubes.
The Meikyō had dealt with the statue of the Eye Demon and had also seen items from higher Multiverse demons, such as the Crimson Gem and the Eye of Atum, which Stark had obtained. These items should serve the same purpose as the Black Cube of the Gods.
Anyone who comes into contact with these things can gain immense power from them, and most of these things contain a bewitching effect. Once used, unless there is intervention from other Multiverse God, only those with extremely strong wills, such as Marvel's Iron Man and Captain America, One-Punch Man's Flashy Flash and Blast, have any chance of resisting.
The more these things are used, the more the energy and rules of another dimension will encroach on the energy and rules of this universe itself.
The Meikyō initially replaced the fundamental rules of the universe with the six gems in an instant, while their approach was to gradually erode the rules of the universe.
The black cube and other substances are the medium.
Even Multiverse demon like Vishanti, whose style is relatively mild, would probably use a similar method.
The same principle applies to the Sorcerer Supreme ages and the wizards of Kamar-Taj using the Sling Ring to borrow power from Vishanti to cast spells. However, these wizards are quite cunning; they don't just borrow from you, they also borrow from other Daedric Lords, using their own strength against them, turning this into a battle between multiple Daedric Lords.
Everyone wants this universe, yet no one wants anyone else to have it. Naturally, the end result is that nothing comes of it, and the struggle continues indefinitely.
The demons and gods, however, simply adopted an indifferent attitude towards this.
In any case, these mages have already paid an equal price to borrow the power, so they are not at a loss. In so many timelines, some will eventually succeed. Although it will take a long time, which of these Infinity- life demons who have broken free from the shackles of time would care about the passage of time?
So, can I learn this method myself?
Not at the moment.
This requires the Multiverse God to have a comprehensive and in-depth grasp of the rules in order to achieve this.
At least Meikyō believes that his current grasp of the rules is still lacking.
In this respect, the Gods must be superior to us.
"Alright, let's not talk about Gods or anything God for now. Since the Scarlet Ninjas possess the ability to fight them, and with everyone's help, we will definitely be able to overcome all difficulties, just like more than a year ago when we successfully survived the six-month disaster predicted by the Great Wizard Shibabawa. Anyway... cheers!"
Sitch interrupted the discussion and raised his glass again.
This is a celebration banquet, not a meeting.
"Cheers!" ×N.
The next day, early morning.
Having finished her battle with Tatsumaki Fubuki, Meikyō continued on to the next one.
"Boom!"
A meteor streaked with flame and struck a massive meteorite.
This is the Kuiper Belt, located beyond Neptune's orbit from the Sun. It contains countless asteroids, dwarf planets, and giant meteorites, including larger planets such as Pluto and Makemake.
Saitama landed here, his eyes fixed intently on the Meikyō that emerged from the portal.
"Let's begin our sparring, Meikyō!"
Saitama said excitedly.
Meikyō smiled and nodded at Saitama, seemingly lost in thought.
There's no air here, so how did Saitama's voice get through?
This thing...
It's not just about immense strength and unwavering resolve; it probably can't be measured by the standards of ordinary beings within a single universe.
After all, Saitama is a comedic character, and comedic characters don't follow the rules.
"Boom!"
A silent shockwave rippled out as Meikyō and Saitama exchanged their first punches.
The meteorite beneath his feet shattered, and Saitama's body was instantly flung like an electromagnetic cannonball to another meteorite thousands of kilometers away.
Saitama's lips curled into a smile.
This was the first time he had ever seen someone who could so easily take a normal punch.
This time... we should be able to have a proper fight, right?
"Serious Punch!"
This time the commotion was more than ten times greater than the last one. A large area of meteorites in the surrounding area was crushed into powder by the shock wave, clearing a small vacuum in the Kuiper Belt.
The minimum acceptable level for Serious Punch is Boros.
Boros's strength undoubtedly reached the level of a Celestial, and he was by no means an ordinary opponent among those of the same level. However, when he fought desperately, he used the Roaring Star Cannon to clash with the Serious Punch, and used his body with super regenerative abilities to block the aftershocks. Even so, the Serious Punch was still able to part the Earth in the middle. At this moment, with Saitama's full-force attack, the Kuiper Belt directly experienced a fault.
"Consecutive Serious Punches!"
Meikyō calmly and methodically clashed with Saitama, finally recognizing what kind of being Saitama truly was.
The pinnacle of a single universe capable of exceeding the size of a star?
That's not all.
However, it has not reached the level of Multiverse in essence.
Saitama's existence is special.
At this moment, as a God being of the Multiverse, wielding the Mirror God Eye, the Meikyō finally saw clearly.
Saitama gives Meikyō a feeling somewhat like the Infinity Stones!
He himself is equivalent to an existence that has reached the ultimate in the rule of power!
At the same time, he is quite terrifying both mentally and practically.
The amount of power Saitama can unleash is related to his own mindset.
He believed that if he could punch a monster to pieces, he could punch a planet to pieces.
He felt that if he couldn't catch mosquitoes, then he really wouldn't catch mosquitoes; and if he accidentally got scratched by a cat, then he really would get scratched by a cat.
When mind and power work together, they become so powerful that they can distort reality, time, and space to a certain extent!
He thought that since the portal was a door, he could kick it open. In the original story, when Saitama unleashed God power from Garou, he directly and forcibly used this God power to reverse time and rewrite the reality of Genos's death and the extinction of humanity.
"I understand now. Garou broke his limiter physically, while Saitama not only broke his physical limits but also his mental limits. Body and mind, indestructible! This is proving the Dao through force, using the simplest and most brutal method. This is also a way to break through the limitations of a single universe. Saitama's strength seems to lie between a single universe and Multiverse. In fact, if he were to break his limits again..."
In his battle with Saitama, Meikyō used all his strength!
What happened to Garou back then is now happening to Saitama!
The more they fought, the stronger they became, as if they had activated a cheat code that locked their health, making them Fudō to damage!
Saitama's ability to break through his limiters and reach this level from an ordinary person is not simply because he can do a hundred push-ups, a hundred sit-ups, a hundred squats, and run ten kilometers in a seemingly trivial way.
Saitama encountered countless monsters while running ten kilometers, fighting and breaking through limitations along the way!
After all, he lived in a deserted area of Z-City, a place that no one else dared to enter, yet Saitama would wander ten kilometers every day...
Saitama was more excited than ever before.
Finally, finally we can go all out and have a fierce battle!
From the Kuiper Belt all the way to the Oort Cloud!
If the location of their battle were moved to Earth, the Earth would be destroyed in an instant.
"Hey! You two! Stop right now! If you keep fighting, the gravitational shifts within the Solar System will tear the Earth in two!"
Suddenly, a female voice rang out in the consciousness of Meikyō and Saitama.
