章 341: 341 The Boys: Soldier Boy Flees, Supersonic is Destroyed! and The World of Bleach?
Soldier Boy fled down an alley and was barely able to breathe. He could endure much punishment and strenuous activities, but he could not withstand the cursed power that was forcibly introduced to him. Yet one thing was certain—it was an immense power.
Soldier Boy surveyed the destruction he had caused: several buildings were destroyed or in ruins, with fire and smoke billowing from them. There was a total calm nearby while the sound of sirens and alarms could be heard in the distance.
At Allen's demand, or rather, insistence, The Boys were asked to choose bases away from civilians to prevent tragedies. Thus, Butcher chose an old building in a residential complex that had been evicted and was slated for demolition in a few months. Thanks to this decision, the damage was only material.
Of course, that does not account for the life of the unfortunate Crimson Countess. Some might wonder why she chose to confront Soldier Boy even knowing the outcome. The answer is not as surprising as one might think. For her, Soldier Boy never disappeared; he was always a shadow. That's why she never married, why she never had children, and why she continued to sing songs about the man she hated so much. So, in a last attempt to free herself from Soldier Boy, she decided to tell him what she had kept to herself for so many years.
Soldier Boy looked back to see that no one was following him, so he continued his escape.
"Goodbye honey..."
...
(Madison Square Garden, NYC)
Allen easily arrived at the venue where Supersonic was to perform his concert with the help of the system.
Crossing the threshold were Kimiko, Cate, Harley, and of course, Annie. The rest of the girls followed discreetly.
Allen shrugged, observing the crowd that flocked en masse, "It's absurd, but somehow Vought rented out Madison Square Garden for this spectacle."
Harley, clinging to Allen's arm, snorted disdainfully and mockingly, "What fools they are to squander so much for a suicidal idiot!"
"There's a lot of people..." murmured Kimiko.
"Yes, sister Kimiko, Madison Square Garden can hold twenty thousand people!" Cate responded excitedly, snapping numerous photos to upload to her social media. She had recently started having social networks like a normal girl, something that pleased Allen.
Madison Square Garden was an almost legendary venue that had hosted the biggest music stars since 1968.
"This idiot is putting on quite a circus," replied Annie, frowning, "But this seems like a trap..."
Allen thought the same as the girls and the Chat.
Smoke and mirrors. Vought was not stupid—they knew the reason Starlight had left; they knew she was with Allen of her own free will. There was no reason to support something as ludicrous as this. They were only asking for trouble with the monster that had nearly destroyed Vought Tower.
Gwen – It doesn't make sense unless they want to lure you to this place.
MJ – They aren't suggesting they're ruthless enough to attack Allen amidst twenty thousand people, are they?!
Felicia – That would be a massacre...
Diana – Maybe it's not a physical trap...
Natasha – Trapping, capturing, threatening... I don't think they're naive enough to think they can do that to Allen.
Superman – Allen, never underestimate those weaker than you; there's always a chance they'll surprise you, and you'll pay dearly for it.
Batman – ...
"Everyone's right; I'll be careful..."
...
Supersonic looked at himself in a mirror as his makeup artist finished the final touches to make him as attractive as possible.
"How do I look?"
Supersonic turned to his manager, a woman juggling calls from reporters and sponsors. Hearing Supersonic's question, she immediately put on a greedy, flattering smile.
"Gorgeous! Perfect, like the wet dreams of women! I expected no less from one of the top ten most attractive male Supes and one of the world's hundred most eligible bachelors!"
"I mean compared to him..."
The woman fell silent for a moment. Supersonic was a handsome man; no one doubted that. He was a famous singer and actor, with a huge number of fans who dreamed about him.
The woman pursed her lips; even with all that, the villainous albino seemed like a strange creature who shouldn't belong in this world. If he weren't a terrifying monster... the woman shook her head, not wanting to think about it.
"Don't worry, in the end, he's a villain, and villains lose to heroes—that's a fact!"
The young man, who had felt insecure for a moment, regained his confidence.
"That's fine... no matter what happens, my pure feelings will never lose to a villain..."
...
"Achoo!" Amid the crowd, Allen sneezed. "Huh?"
Annie and Cate went to investigate where Supersonic might be. If possible, Annie was going to hit him and end everything quickly, before the broadcast started.
Kimiko, who had been carrying many snacks, including popcorn, looked at Allen and asked, "You okay?"
Harley's reaction was more extreme upon seeing him sneeze; she immediately became concerned. "Daddy, are you okay?!"
Harley, who knew more about Allen's past than most, understood how ridiculous it was to see him fall ill, so even an innocent sneeze alarmed her and the Chat.
Gwen – Allen!
MJ – You need attention, fast!
Allen interrupted the hysteria that was forming, "Relax, I'm fine, I'm fine."
Allen had an uncomfortable smile, but the system assured him that there were no abnormalities in his body.
McDragon – Maybe someone remembered you...
Kara – Don't talk nonsense lizard! Oh, Allen, you need to take care of yourself, please~
Emma Frost – stupid lizard! That's a relapse, Allen... I'll get the world's best doctors for you!❤️~
McDragon – but...
Aphrodite – Can't you keep quiet, lizard?! Allen~ don't worry, I'll follow you in death🖤~
"No, no, I'm not going to die, I already told you I'm fine."
Allen couldn't help but feel sorry for McDragon because although he often says many silly things, this time he didn't deserve such treatment.
...
The Madison filled to the point that people were left outside. Allen and his girls were not going to watch, so Allen used his invisibility ability, and with the help of a couple of fragments, he shared it with the girls, and they entered the venue.
Allen doesn't usually do these things, but he had a good reason this time.
"I'm not going to pay someone who tries to seduce my girlfriend..." Allen's gaze was serious, and although he did not demonstrate it, deciding to let Annie handle this didn't change the fact that he felt irritated after being provoked by Supersonic several times.
Annie was equally irritated. She returned from her search but couldn't find Supersonic. It was strange that they were so concerned about hiding Supersonic's location.
...
(Angry Allen = Someone will suffer 🍷🗿)
...
The show started, and Allen stood among a group of fans who screamed. Allen created a space for them by planting ideas in the minds of those around them, so Supersonic's fans wouldn't bother them.
When the young man with a strong chin and superhero costume took the stage, the audience went wild, except for Allen's group, who were waiting to see what Annie would do.
Annie used her powers to stop the music and fuse the spotlights in the venue. The screams of euphoria turned into screams of terror in a second. Annie didn't disappoint and didn't even let him sing a single verse of a song.
Annie floated towards the stage, even if she couldn't call it full-fledged flying, she could float with ease.
"Annie!" shouted Supersonic excitedly.
"It's Starlight!"
"She came!"
"I told you!"
"Long live love!"
Applause and cheers followed as the spotlights focused on Supersonic and Starlight.
"What are you doing?!"
Starlight's voice was not as expected; there was no love, warmth, passion, or even courtesy. It was an angry scream from someone who seemed to have lost all patience.
"Annie, I... just"
"You just what?! Wanted to rescue me?! Do you think I need rescuing?! I've told you time and again that there's nothing between us!! I told you to leave me alone, and now you stage this circus to create a narrative where I'm your princess or something?!"
"But the villain had kidnapped you; I just wanted to help?!"
Annie felt a vein explode, "ARE YOU STUPID?! I LITERALLY GO OUT ON THE STREET EVERY DAY, PEOPLE KNOW WHERE I AM! I'M NOT LOCKED UP!, I'M NOT KIDNAPPED... AND ALLEN IS MY BOYFRIEND!! STOP INSULTING HIM! STOP BOTHERING ME, YOU FUCKING STALKER!!"
The entire Madison Square Garden fell silent, even its own Chat and Allen. Honestly, everyone expected Annie to publicly beat Supersonic, which would have been less painful and destructive for him than what Annie did. However, it was not so; Annie decided to debunk everything and destroy Supersonic, but that was secondary as she wanted to improve Allen's reputation in the process.
Raven – I'm sure the guy would have preferred to be savagely beaten than that...
Thor – As scary as my mother when she's angry!
Nikky – I even feel a bit sorry for him... but he asked for it!~
Ruby – I don't think he'll recover from this public humiliation...
Allen took a deep breath and stroked Harley's head to let him go, she smiled and Allen disappeared to appear behind Annie.
"Wait, it's here!!"
"Isn't he afraid Homelander will come after him?!"
"No way... he was so handsome?!"
"Ah..."
Allen went up on stage while the audience still looked at Supersonic, who had a pale face as he knelt.
"Annie, we should go..." said Allen in a calm voice.
"Allen..." She smiled warmly, once her anger was released, Annie felt a bit weak, so she leaned on Allen.
"You are amazing..." Allen put his arms around her. She had made an effort, and Allen was proud.
This innocent intimacy was destructive for Supersonic and very shocking for the audience.
"You..."
Allen's gaze settled on Supersonic; there was no sign of anger, although he still felt displeasure towards the young man. Annie had already beaten him down enough verbally.
The cameras focused on Allen's face, capturing it up close for the first time, allowing people to see him in full quality.
"You are free to think whatever you want about me. You can hate me, fear me, despise me, it doesn't matter if you think I'm the devil... but I assure you I will not harm Annie. I will make her happy and protect her with my life!"
"Why?..."
"Because I love her."
Allen's words, accompanied by a bright smile, took the audience's breath away. A collective sigh rippled through the female spectators, even among the women in his Chat who already knew him. A man of great will, with a strong sense of responsibility and unafraid to express his love.
Annie blushed, feeling the urge to escape from the embarrassment of the public confession. Yet, she did not want to leave the arms that surrounded her.
No one could doubt Allen's sincerity; even Supersonic could only lower his head and accept his defeat.
"It's okay, you—"
Supersonic's words were never spoken as he exploded into a thousand pieces. Blood, bits of flesh, and viscera flew in all directions. Allen used a shield to protect Annie, Kimiko covered Cate's face, but it was too late—she saw it and vomited.
A woman felt something land on her head and grabbed it—it was an eye.
"AHHHHHHHH!!!"
With that shrill scream, chaos erupted. The crowd began to run, shove, and shout. While the cameras zoomed in on the gruesome tragedy, they also focused on the couple, Annie and Allen.
Rick – *Burp* Just as I expected from The Boys, you can't end a good story without someone exploding into pieces, hahaha

(Bleach)
Urahara Kisuke immediately entered Muken, the prison where Aizen Sosuke awaited a lengthy sentence or perhaps hoped that the Soul Society would collapse again and seek his help.
Aizen would remain locked up, and Urahara would watch over him; this would be their future, but for Urahara Kisuke and Aizen Sosuke, fate had something different in store.
It all started as innocent curiosity, but as Aizen observed a different world with rules, he couldn't help but become addicted.
He always detested that his world depended on an entity for survival, "Without the Spirit King, the world would collapse," there's something wrong with that; a world that depends on someone, even if that someone is a god, is flawed.
Therefore, Aizen's fascination only grew as he observed different worlds and also allowed him to see that in fact, only his world functioned in that way.
It was interesting and fun to have something to observe, besides another world, his interest focused on a person, the protagonist on his screen—Allen Walker. At first glance, he appears to be an unfortunate young man dragged into a bunch of problems.
It couldn't be more intriguing for Aizen to see someone wielding such different, absurd, and massive power... and he was amazed at how Allen never changed his essence, corrupted, or went mad despite such power.
Aizen laughed, both he and Yhwach had longed for the greatest power and self-destructed in the process. Aizen ended up in Muken, locked up, and Yhwach is neither dead nor alive. However, the boy in front of him gained even more power in the blink of an eye than what would be considered time for him. Of course, considering what he faces and how he barely manages victories, it could hardly be considered cheating.
Aizen narrowed his eyes as he watched Allen absorb such powers.

"What a pity..."
"AIZEN!"
Aizen's gaze shifted from the screen in front of him to Urahara Kisuke, who had entered Muken and descended the stairs to his "cursed throne."
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
Urahara's face had a mix of surprise, intrigue, caution, and even a bit of fear. Aizen was sitting while his body was breaking every second; he was full of cracks and fissures, and the Hogyoku on his chest was spinning unsteadily; this made the three worlds tremble.
"Urahara Kisuke... as you see... I'm dying..."
Aizen Sosuke is immortal; he has been since he merged with the Hogyoku (Orb of Distortion), but what does it distort? Reality.
Originally, the Hogyoku was created to break down the barriers between the hollows and the shinigamis in the world of Bleach, but Aizen discovered its true nature.
"The Hogyoku is capable of manifesting the desires of others..."
"Aizen, did you..."
"As expected from the most intelligent person in our world... yes, Urahara Kisuke, it seems that from the depths of my soul, I no longer desire power... I no longer desire immortality... the Hogyoku is simply responding to my new desire..."
"Wait! What are you trying to do?! Do you want to leave this world?!"
Urahara's first guess was something obvious after being so in contact with everything shown by Allen—leaving this world to see other worlds; what else could be more interesting for Aizen Sosuke, who never accepted the structure of his own world?
"No..."
"What?"
Aizen's answer surprised Urahara; wasn't that what Aizen desired?
As seconds passed, cracks grew in Aizen's body, and the Hogyoku became more unstable.
"Aizen..."
"Urahara Kisuke... it's not a conscious desire, so I can't answer you... but a thought crossed my mind... is this the best ending?..."
"Don't do it!"
At that moment, Urahara Kisuke realized what was about to happen. He immediately activated a special seal to block the power of the Hogyoku, but it didn't work.
Urahara couldn't let that happen; nothing ensured that the outcome would be better. In the worst case, Aizen would doom his world.
"Aizen!!"
Urahara's voice was the last thing Aizen heard... when he opened his eyes again, he was standing among a group of aspiring Shinigamis. He wore glasses and was considerably younger, and his power was insignificant compared to what he had.
"Next! Aizen Sosuke!"
Aizen smiled, "I'll be waiting... Allen Walker."
