Capítulo 82: The strongest universe
Alex took a long shower, he hasn't had a decent shower in quite a while and it felt refreshing. The dry blood from his body washed away with a rinse of the cool water.
He found a hotel nearby and rented a room to clean himself up. Of course he got it for free by manipulating the minds of the staff.
He did not move as the water hit his body, his eyes did nor his face showed any expression, except that of disappointment.
"In the end… I had to resort to the infinity stones… Saitama, you were the strongest man I have ever faced." Alex admitted it that he could not fight Saitama at full power, in terms of strength.
Alex held other abilities that could kill Saitama easily, but Saitama was only human, so there is no way that he could ever kill Alex.
Alex is not one to have an even fight with opponents, but just this once he did to test his full strength.
"But… thanks to him, my strength has gone up." Though he felt bad that he could not defeat Saitama, he definitely got stronger from his fight, and that fact satisfied him.
After washing up, he dressed in casual clothes and had a decent meal, prepared by his wives.
Leaving the hotel, he walked up to the Commandments. They were just minding their business.
Meruem was playing Gungi with Linlin. Lili ate a coconut. Mihawk and Madara played cards while monsters tried to kill them. Steven slept like a log. Eggy was actually forcing Garou to join them… that last one surprised Alex.
"Like I said, I haven't decided yet." Garou yelled at Eggy.
"You better listen to this Lady Queen, and I command you to become a Commandment." Eggy held onto Garou tightly afraid that he might escape.
"I said I am still thinking about it!"
Alex did not expect this weird development…
"Eggy… why do you want him to join us?" Alex knew that it was not due to romantic feelings, but something else entirely.
"Why? Because… uh, you said that the next world we go to, will have strong opponents, right? And also we cannot fight them unless we have 10 people in the group, right?"
"Yeah. So?"
"Well obviously we need this guy so we can have 9 members already. And therefore we will only need one more guy after that, and we will be able to fight those powerful people very soon."
"Lies. When she found out that her power level was higher than the human's, she wanted him to join us, so she won't be called 'the weakest' in the group." Madara said.
"Ah."
"Madara, you bastard!" Eggy fumed with anger and directed it towards Madara. It was clear from her reaction that what he said was true.
But, she felt a hand lying gently on her head, which made her calm down when she looked whose hand it was.
"Eggy, you might be the weakest in the group for now, but you are certainly not weak compared to others. You are many times stronger than any other Asura spirit right now. You have grown."
It was Alex who said that. As the leader of the group, he needs to comfort his members before it gets to the point of no return.
Eggy did not turn red, but her eyes were moist from hearing his words.
"Thanks…" That is all she wanted to hear. An Asura spirit being called 'weak' is like a Saiyan who can't fight. Asura spirits are known for being extremely rare, like a legendary Pokemon, and are known for their power.
She might indeed be the weakest right now, but she is definitely strong compared to Krillin and Yamcha combined, which is not saying much.
"That aside… Garou, have you decided yet?"
"..." Garou did not know what to say. Should he or should he not accept the offer?
"You still have time to decide on your answer. Meanwhile I will be gone."
"Where are you going?" Asked Linlin who is still playing Gungi with Meruem, she kept losing.
"I'll be back sooner or later." Maybe it was because he just fought Saitama, but right now, he wanted to keep fighting stronger opponents.
Alex did not know if it was because of his Saiyan biology, or the fact that he could still fight stronger opponents.
He wanted to complete his plan soon, his plan is to fight the strongest in the Dragon Ball Super world.
"System, teleport me to the 'Dragon Ball Super' world."
{Very well}
Alex disappeared from the world of One Punch Man, leaving the Commandments behind.
"Hey, Garou, was it?" Eggy suddenly asked.
"Yeah. What?"
"Why don't you want to join this group? You'll become stronger than you ever will in this weak world."
"Because he wants to use me as a sort of weapon. And also, I owe him nothing."
Eggy flicked her finger at him, which send Garou back straight to a wall.
Garou's head bled as his back was covered in bruises and dirt from the strong impact.
"You're not immortal? You didn't drink the fountain of youth?" Eggy asked.
"No. I did not, bitch."
Alex did offer Garou immortality a while ago, but declined it for two reasons. One: he doesn't want to owe Alex anything. Two: if he was immortal, then how will he ever become stronger than he is right now?
Garou becomes stronger by losing the tough battles he had faced during his life. If he becomes immortal, he will never be able to lose again, and therefore he will never get stronger..
Eggy did not feel bad for what she had done to him.
"Listen, it may feel like Anderson is using you at first, but in reality, he doesn't. He is not cruel… sometimes… he is a man of his word and made us stronger. In fact, do you see that guy over there."
Eggy pointed at Mihawk who is playing cards with Madara.
"He was never that strong. In fact, you were probably as strong as him before Anderson recruited him. And now, he is one of the strongest swordsman in the multiverse."
Mihawk did hear what she said about him, but ignored her. The reason she knew that about him is because he told her in the HxH world.
"When he recruited me, it was a pain at first. But, he did give me the Commandment of Purity and this power. Without him, I would probably be stuck inside some loser, on a long, boring, senseless, waste-of-time, repeating journey." Eggy mentioned Chu Feng, which sums up her entire journey with him.
"She is right, you know." Lili interrupted.
"Me and my sister were both locked up in an ice prison. He saved us from death. We went through many trials to get where we are. And after following him for so long, we were never happier and powerful than right now. Even before we met him, there was no way to achieve the strength we possess right now. Without him, we would be dead."
Not entirely true, but they would be worse off had they gone with Hao Ren.
Garou listened to their stories and found it sorta interesting.
"What about you? What's your story?" Garou asked Madara.
Madara would just ignore him like any other insect, but he knew that he will become a Commandment in the future, meaning that Garou will join them even if he ignores him.
"I was one of the most powerful ninjas in my world. Hailed as a god, a prodigy within my clan… I wanted to make the world a better place, but I was betrayed by this man named 'black…'"
And so, they started telling stories of one another. Meruem also listened attentively. Alex has never told him about their backstories, just pieces of their background.
Their bond as a group tightened on that very moment.
Meanwhile…
Alex appeared in another world. It was on Earth, not surprising, Alex has been on like 10 different Earth's by now. He appeared on the edge of a beach. It was filled with pretty women in swimsuits, desperate and lonely men trying to impress said women. Just another normal day at the beach.
"Which timeline am I in?"
{The start of the Tournament of Power.}
"What?! That's too soon."
{Do not worry, user. There is still about 70 hours left before the tournament starts}
"Good." Alex heaved a sigh of relieve. Right now, Alex's goal was not to meet Goku or Beerus yet. His one goal is to recruit the last Commandment, 9th technically if Garou doesn't join.
He arrived on Earth, which is where all the main characters were. They were all minding their business.
Nobody was able to sense Alex because he did a good job at concealing his aura from them. The last thing he needs to do is to change the plot line, a single change could possibly mean that the tournament of of power will never happen.
"Now, where are you?" Alex activated his soul stone, and his eyes glowed orange, the same colour as the soul stone.
Alex looked at the souls of all beings in the universe. Be it an ant, dragon, alien, no one could escape him.
A distant planet from Earth, Alex saw two individuals. One was weak, probably weaker than Garou, but the other one was stronger by a whole margin.
"I found you… Broly."
The last Commandment he had in mind was the Legendary Super Saiyan, Broly.
Alex had to choose between many powerful foes in this universe, and counted their pros and cons.
Freeza? Very powerful but too evil. Most likely to betray the group before Garou.
Cell? Maybe, but weak since he could not overpower Gohan in Super Saiyan 2. And powering him up would take very long,
Buu? Not strong enough, and too lazy to do much fighting. And he is now on the good side… go figure.
Bardock? Not much is known about him, but he is not even strong enough to fight Freeza in his first form.
Omega Shenron…? Yeah, no. Alex was never much of a GT fan to begin with.
Jiren? Although powerful, he won't fit because he is on the side of justice or something…
Now that Alex thinks about it… maybe there weren't that many options available.
Alex picked Broly, because even though Broly has never fought against tough opponents, he is strong enough to fight Super Saiyan Vegeta while in his base form.
Of course, he was talking about the new Broly that came out on 2018 not before that. If it were the old Broly, then Alex would have never had chosen him.
The old Broly's character was literally screaming "KAKARROT!!!" for over an hour. Because he cried… a lot… for like three hours. Like a wise man once said: "He's so cool… but that's so dumb!"
But with the new, better, likeable, and more powerful Super Broly, Alex HAD to recruit him as a Commandment. Anyone who can fight Freeza in his gold form for an hour and win is powerful indeed.
And besides, the world of Dragon Ball Super has a bullshit power leveling scale, but many people still like it because of its epic fights.
Alex activated the space stone and reappeared in a far, distant world.
Alex appeared in another planet. This is the first time he has been in another Planet that isn't Earth.
But, he noticed something weird while in space...
"I can breathe in space?"
{Since the user is immortal, you don't need oxygen}
"Kinda lame but convenient."
Ignoring that fact, Alex continued to observe the planet in front of him.
He saw Broly and his father. They haven't sensed him yet. They were eating the meat of the giant insect monsters that inhabited the planet.
"Now… how do I do this…"
The problem was that Broly did not want to fight. Broly has been trained to become a weapon for his father, who wanted revenge against King Vegeta, as shown in the movie.
Broly did not like fighting, but is destined to become the Legendary Super Saiyan. That is like saying that a Yardrat who does not like teleporting.
Convincing Broly to join him and fight, would be indeed become problematic for Alex. But it's a good thing he came prepared.
"And I also need to kill his dad, but if I do that, then Broly would hate me and would never want to join my group. Damn…"
Even when Broly has been abused by his father all his life, he still loved him. When he died in the movie, Broly became the Legendary Super Saiyan.
And remember, this all happened just so Freeza could grow 5cm taller… and this is still one of the most memorable Dragon Ball movies ever, well to some people.
Alex has to kill the father to get Broly to achieve his legendary form. He just had to kill Paragus without having to do it directly.
"Maybe I will just introduce myself."
Alex landed on the planet. He walked straight towards the two saiyans.
Paragus, Broly's father, saw a humanoid figure walking towards them.
Unable to believe what he is seeing, he ran hastily towards the figure. The only way to get to this planet was by arriving in a spaceship, and a spaceship is the one thing they needed to get out of this hellhole.
"Hey! Hey you!" Paragus cried out in joy.
Alex kept walking. He stopped in his tracks.
"Did you come here to save us?"
"What do you mean?" Alex pretended as if he didn't know him.
"H-how-how did you arrive in this planet?"
"On my spaceship, duh."
"Where, where is your spaceship." Paragus grabbed tightly onto Alex's clothing.
"Over there."
While activating the reality stone secretly, Alex created a spaceship. Since Alex does not have that great of an imagination, he created a replica of a UFO, than same type that can be seen in a youtube video.
Of course, everyone knows that there is no such thing as little, gray, aliens… unless you live in a different universe, then that is entirely different.
As a matter of fact, Jiren is probably the closest thing that resembles those gray aliens, who obviously don't exist. And anyone who believes in those aliens are wrong…
"Wer-we're saved!" Paragus could not believe it, an actual spaceship. Not a spaceship he recognizes, but it is still a spaceship.
Of course, the UFO does not work, it's just a simple replica. It cannot fly or move. Alex does not have the knowledge on how a spaceship works or how it operates.
"You see, there is something wrong with that spaceship."
"What is that?"
Alex secretly activated the power stone, and BOOM!
The UFO blew up into millions of pieces.
"I was attacked by this powerful guys, and the ship's engine ended up exploding." That was an obvious lie.
Paragus dropped to his knees, as tears welled down from his eyes. His last hope… to escape, blew up on his face.
"Don't cry, I send a message of help. Someone will rescue us within a few days or so… in the meantime, are you a Saiyan?"
Alex made himself comfortable and began to lie back.
"Wait! You mean that there is still hope for us?!" Paragus eyes lit up like a Christmas tree after hearing Alex. They still have hope.
"How long have you been here?"
"Many years… I have lost count."
"I see." Alex turned around to see Broly just looking at him, like a dog who is guarding his territory.
"Is he your son?" Asked Alex. He was playing it dumb and acted as if he did not know who Broly was.
"Yes… his name is Broly. Wait, you knew that we were Saiyans?"
"Of course I knew. There are not that many species who have a tail."
Broly's tail was cut off by his father, to prevent Broly into becoming a great ape. But Paragus's tail was still fine, his guess is that Paragus has better control than the great ape transformation than Broly.
Broly tends to lose himself to his anger, even going as far as killing his friends, because he cannot control himself from destroying everything in his path.
"Ah yes...." Paragus just remembered about his Saiyan trait.
"Sadly, there are not many Saiyans left."
"What do you mean?"
"Planet Vegeta was destroyed by Free- meteors many years ago. Along with his king."
"Oh… I see." This news did faze Paragus a bit. But since he has no one he cared about in Planet Vegeta, he was not sad nor angry. At least he felt relieved that King Vegeta had died.
"You guys must be starving." Alex prepared some food beforehand and handed it to Paragus first, then to Broly.
It was just some burgers that he took from Mcdonalds. He has enough burgers in his storage space to last him at least 2000 years.
Since it was inside a plastic box, it did not look like food. Broly smelled it, and it was the best thing he had ever smelled in his life. It was still warm and fresh, something that he had never
Alex smiled, his plan was going great.
First, he had to befriend Broly in order to get him to join him. Broly right now is scared of his father, and also scarred by him.
And there is no one that Alex knows that fear other than himself. Alex remembered when he used to have that one friend on Earth, who would spoil the plots of all types of anime series that he hadn't watched yet.
Alex was grateful to his friend, who helped him in his time of need. Shame that he couldn't repay him back.
What Alex believed that Broly needed was a friend, a place that he could call 'home.' Just like Alex.
Broly wanted to eat the burger, but hesitated. He never does anything without his father's permission. Whenever he defied his father, Paragus would shock him with the collar around his neck.
Alex also made sure to hand over a burger to Paragus, just so it doesn't suspect Alex on plotting anything.
Even if Paragus believed that Alex was plotting something, he could always command Broly to attack Alex, since Broly's power level is high, right?
If it were anyone else, then Broly could defeat them, but Alex was one of the strongest beings in the universe. Where as Broly still hasn't even tapped his hidden power..
"You can eat it Broly." Paragus was indeed cruel to his son, but even he wants to eat the burger on his hands. It's been so long since they ever had a decent meal.
With his father's permission, Broly began to munch down on the burger with the wrapping and everything.
"Wait, you're not supposed to eat the wrapping." Alex hurriedly took the wrapping away from Broly's burger.
Of course, Broly was too hungry to care. He finished the whole thing within seconds, not even leaving a crumb behind.
"Broly, what do we say?"
Broly took a moment before saying to Alex, "thank you."
"No problem. I have more if you like." Alex produced even more burgers from his inventory.
Seeing the amount of burgers, Broly's eyes lit up like the sun's.
"Here are some drinks as well." Alex also took out some water bottles, sodas, everything.
Paragus was stunned to see Alex take out so much food.
"Where did you hide all this food?"
"Just a simple trick. Just eat. I have enough to last for many years." That was not a lie, he did indeed bring that much food, but only for himself and the Commandments. If it meant sacrificing a small amount of food to recruit Broly, then it would be a great deal.
"You carry that much amount of food with you?"
"Trust me, I have been stranded for many years on other worlds, and the one thing I regretted was not being able to bring enough to eat."
Remembering the first time he went in Purgatory, Alex made the terrible mistake of not preparing any food beforehand. He learned from his mistake and made sure to bring as much food as possible.
Broly drooled at the sight. So much food…
"Then… we thank you for this." Paragus bowed his head a little out of gratitude.
"You can eat, Broly."
As if those were the words he was waiting to hear, Broly began munching down on the mountain of burgers, and drank all the beverages he could.
"Man, you are hungry." Alex had forgotten that Saiyans have great metabolism. Goku, Gohan, and Vegeta can eat food fit for 20 people in a day, or more.
