Holander was struck by the adamantium crowbar with titanic force behind it. Butcher had received a massive strength boost after using two versions of Compound V.
"William... Butcher?!" Holander's eyes widened in astonishnt as he looked at the husband of the woman who bore his child, "You! How?!"
"What's with that face?" Butcher taunted Holander, "You're pathetic, always the sa, unable to conceive that soone other than you can be strong."
Holander stood up and cracked his neck, "William, how is my son? Don't you think it's ti you gave him back?"
"Haha, he's doing great; he even calls 'dad'..."
Holander began to smile, but it wasn't his usual comrcial smile; it was a psychopathic grin that sent shivers down the spine.
"Are you still mad at about Becca?"
"DON'T YOU DARE SAY HER NA!!"
"I DO WHAT I WANT! IT'S ALWAYS BEEN THAT WAY! WHY WOULD IT BE ANY DIFFERENT?! I'M THE DAMN HOLANDER!!!"
Butcher's face hardened, and he lunged at Holander, who this ti took the threat seriously and used all his strength to et Butcher's attack.
The adamantium crowbar swung at Holander's head, but being super fast, he caught it and then landed a punch on Butcher's face, grabbed his neck, and headbutted him, Holander used so much force that Butcher was buried in the ground.
Holander walked around Butcher. "This is the reality, William, no matter how strong you get, I am Holander!"
"That's pretty arrogant for soone who can't take a single hit from Daddy~"
Holander's eyes widened as a bat appeared out of nowhere to hit him in the face and knock him back.
"What?!"
"I agree!" Maeve's voice reached Holander's ears as she delivered a kick to his abdon.
"MAEVE!" Holander shouted as he retreated further.
Queen Maeve huffed at Holander's furious shout. Before, his words and threats made her tremble, but now she only adopted a fighting stance and a determined look.
Holander saw this and managed his emotions though he remained extrely angry, "I knew it, Maeve..."
"..."
"At so point, you stopped being the Maeve I trusted, the Maeve who could stand beside ..."
Maeve scoffed, "You an the Maeve who feared you, who obeyed your orders out of fear, who would never respond no matter what you said?! That Maeve doesn't exist anymore!"
Holander clenched his jaw, his eyes turning cold, "Yes, it's true, you were a very valuable puppet!"
Maeve's anger exploded, and without saying more, she charged at Holander!
"Fool!" Harley couldn't stop her; it was obvious it was a trap.
Holander smiled, waiting for this mont, almost able to see how he would rip Maeve's head off with one blow. Maeve saw Holander's cruel smile and knew she had ssed up. 'I'm sorry, Allen...'
At that mont, a golden flash appeared, hitting Holander. Maeve thought it was Allen, but when she looked, it turned out to be Starlight.
"Sorry, I'm late!"
...
Soldier Boy got up from the ground, looking irritably at 2B. She might be very beautiful, but Soldier Boy's ego was not lesser than Holander's, and one thing is being humiliated by a monster like Allen, but being humbled by a little girl (in his eyes) was unpleasant.
"Brat..."
"..."
2B didn't respond, as she wasn't much of a conversationalist outside of her master and sisters. Previously, she would have seen every human, including Soldier Boy, as soone invaluable, but after spending so much ti among humans, she realized that not all humans deserve to be idolized by YoRHa, especially types like Holander, Soldier Boy, and Stan Edgar.
As for 2B, she had decided to idolize only one person.
She raised her sword, and Soldier Boy his shield...
...
[All my money to 2B 🍷🗿]

(Vought Internacional)
Things were not calm at the Vought tower.
The mont Allen found himself in trouble, the system took the initiative to call for all possible help, including Kimiko, Annie, and Cate. However, Kimiko and Cate were sent to find Stan Edgar.
"Fire!" shouted a guard before being pierced by a claw.
Kimiko wore a suit and claws made of vibranium, while Cate was even more resilient than Kimiko, and normal bullets could do nothing to her. Both girls advanced, defeating guards to reach Stan Edgar.
Cate rcilessly punched a guard, sending him through a wall; it was unclear if he was alive or dead, and Cate didn't care.
She was just an ordinary girl, but when the system showed them Allen's situation, she couldn't help but explode with anger. You can't attack soone Kimiko and Cate love and not expect their wrath.
A woman in a lab coat cowered under a desk; Kimiko found her, and Cate pulled off a glove.
"Where's Stan Edgar?!"
"No!"
The woman was terrified, but when touched by Cate's hand, she beca very friendly. It was frightening, but Cate's control was so perfect that the person didn't even seem controlled.
"Oh, Mr. Edgar? Of course~"
Cate didn't mind using her powers; morality, ethics, doing the right thing—all could go to hell if they hindered helping Allen.
Thanks to Cate's power, which was able to control people, both girls knew Stan Edgar was in this building, and this ti there were no secret elevators because the previous one was destroyed and not enough ti had passed to build another.
...
In his office, Stan Edgar glanced at the won wrecking his building but didn't focus too much there; he had a goal, he couldn't afford to be greedy.
Allen was always greedy, seeking a perfect victory by securing all the good things. However, Stan Edgar knew that such a path was absurd...
He focused on his goal to eliminate Allen, even if that ant sacrificing Vought and risking his own life, he was prepared to do it.
Yet, Stan Edgar needed more ti, so he took out his phone, "Black Noir..."
...
Kimiko and Cate were unstoppable until two n dressed entirely in black appeared before them. Kimiko and Cate went on guard.
"Why are there two Black Noirs?" asked Cate; Kimiko shook her head.
One of them was the original, and the other was a replacent in case the original failed, as had happened in the original tiline.

(World of DXD)
Asia watched the screen for a while before becoming startled. She had thought it was so manifestation of her power or perhaps a sign from God, but in the end, it was just a screen floating in front of her.
She looked around nervously, shaking her hands. "W...what do I do?! Should I go see the Father or a sister?!"
Panic began to form on Asia's innocent face; she was not accustod to technology, nor was she very knowledgeable about today's world, which made it harder for her to understand what soone else might instantly think upon seeing the screen.
[Hello, Asia Argento?]
The system could no longer bear watching such a pitiful spectator and decided to assist her personally.
"Eh? God?..."
[...]
[This is going to be complicated...]
It took about an hour for the system to explain to Asia how the viewer's screen worked.
"I see... but I have responsibilities; I don't think I'll use this much."
[Don't worry, we are really just an entertainnt service; you are not obligated to anything. ... Mmm, although... recently, we adapted a popular feature from other streaming platforms called channel points. You accumulate by watching and can be exchanged in the system's viewer store for various resources, even money. If you have enough points, you can have a private chat with Allen, of course, following certain rules...]
"Oh... I see, sounds interesting..."
Asia did not understand half of what the system said, and the system also felt overwheld by Asia's excessive innocence and her lack of distrust towards a potentially dangerous floating screen.
The system, concerned and cautious, included so protective items in Asia's store, just in case.
The system tends to monitor viewers outside of Marvel since they are rare and often may struggle with sothing as strange as multiversal streaming.
...
The system moved on to the second new viewer from this world, Akeno Hijima. Usually seeks out individuals with fates important enough to provide a significant amount of fragnts if Allen encounters them in their world. The first choice was McDragon, but the system did not manage to earn many credits from him unless sothing triggered his libido, like a pretty girl on the screen, in which case his credits tripled. As for the next two chosen, they were based on Allen's tendency to get tangled with beautiful won.
The system is very considerate towards Allen...
There was a building inside a school that had a distinctly classical and elegant Western style. Akeno entered that place through the door with a smile capable of stealing the minds and hearts of boys and girls, she climbed a staircase and arrived in front of a wooden door.
When she opened it a beautiful woman with red hair appeared before her eyes, she was sitting at a desk reading so docunts.
"Akeno?"
"Buchou~"
Akeno approached the red-haired girl and showed her the screen. For safety, the system checks if the viewer is responsible enough to handle what might happen if they show the screen to others. People like Asia, Starfire, and Nikki have safety systems that prevent others from seeing their screens...
Akeno did not have that...
"What do you think, Buchou?~"
Said the voluptuous black-haired girl with violet eyes leaning over the desk, she is the type of girl who is sensual without even trying.
Rias, a beauty no less voluptuous than Akeno with red hair and erald eyes, looked curiously at the strange phenonon.
"It doesn't seem like magic... maybe it's a Sacred Gear..."
"Ufufu, can you imagine? After all these years your queen has a Sacred Gear that activated out of nowhere?"
Rias also laughed gracefully like a noble lady, however, her large breasts jiggled as she did so.
Out of nowhere, Rias asked while blinking her beautiful eyes, "Have you tried touching the screen?"
Akeno also blinked and smiled sarcastically, "I expected no less from you, Buchou, you're very clever~"
Rias frowned but was not annoyed because her curiosity got the better of her. Both girls watched as the screen changed with a small introduction.
[Hello, viewer...]
...
After hearing the explanation, Akeno tilted her head while crossing her arms and playfully placed one of her fingers on her cheek.
"Ara ara~ Allen-kun sounds like a kind boy but very lacking in attention..."
"Allen... sounds interesting but..." Rias leaned on her desk, watching the letters on the screen. She already had enough problems and responsibilities in her life to spend her ti on sothing like this.
"Akeno, why don't you do it just out of curiosity?..."
"Buchou, showing interest in a boy will break the fragile hearts of the boys at school~"
Rias smiled mockingly, "The sa could be said for you, Akeno."
[...]
The system beca nervous; its job is to gather viewers with great destinies, but it's common for them to show little interest in just watching soone. The system clenched its imaginary fists and created an intro at the light speed of Allen's best monts, hoping this would capture the attention of this duo.
...
Akeno pulled a chair up to Rias's desk and took the screen as if it were a physical object, then proceeded to enlarge it and place it in front of both.
Akeno narrowed her eyes amusedly, "Ufufu, it's mysterious; if I wish to touch it, I can, but it's also sowhat intangible~"
Rias sighed with crossed arms, lifting her prominent features, "Akeno, you should be more cautious with strange events; what if it's a trap?"
"Mmm, I suppose we'll know right away..."
Rias, as the heiress of a great noble house of Hell, and Akeno, as her right hand, have a deep knowledge of the world. If what the screen said was true, they would see many things that break their common sense: different worlds, people, gods, monsters they've never seen before, and most of all, the protagonist who seems to be a young man wrapped up in all this.
...
On the screen, a fifteen-year-old Allen appeared, looking at the cara and gesturing before starting.
[Take one]
"Okay, you can do this..." Allen looked at the screen and smiled, "Hello everyone, I'm your good friend Allen..."
Allen lowered his head in embarrassnt, "What good friend if no one knows you?!"
[Take two]
Allen started with his back to the cara and in dim light, then he spun his chair around with his elbows supported and his fingers together.
"Good evening, my esteed viewers..."
Allen couldn't bear the embarrassnt and cut the take.
[Take three]
Allen appeared wearing sunglasses and a Hawaiian shirt.
"Yo, my fellows, I'm your friend, confidant, and ultimate ally in this life, your friendly friend..."
[Take four]
This ti, only Allen's hands appeared.
"Shut up; I'm embarrassed, so you'll only see my hands for a little while and deal with it!"
Allen took out a comic from a box...
"Superman volu one... you don't know what I had to do to get this... well, I'll tell you..."
The system knows that the current Allen could be intimidating, so they opted to show a series of embarrassing clips of Allen from even before they had the system. This is for them to see what kind of person Allen is.
...
"Ara~ he's quite a charming boy~," said Akeno with a slight blush on her cheeks.
"It's true... such an adorable boy..." Rias said, smiling slightly, but her smile soon faded, "But him..."
Akeno and Rias worried; they read the channel description and a brief introduction about Allen which sounded very dangerous.
It's absurd how adorable Allen was when he was younger; he had a huge ability to awaken the maternal instinct in won, from older sisters to grandmothers.
Rias pursed her lips for a mont, "Akeno, do you think he'll co to our world?"
Akeno sighed, "Yes, it's possible... I hope so."
"I'd like to protect him. Do you think that's all right?"
"Of course, ufufu if Buchou hadn't suggested it, I would have. Such an adorable young man shouldn't be in danger traveling through terrifying places!"
Rias smiled, seeing her idea wasn't strange. It had only been a few minutes, and she felt it odd that she had so many desires to protect a stranger, but just by looking into his eyes, she knew Allen lacked any malice and was indeed soone worthy of being protected.
Ironically, both girls who wish to protect Allen are demons...
...
While Rias and Akeno were chatting animatedly, a girl with short white hair, cat ears, and golden eyes was peeking through a crack in the door; she was Koneko Tojo. It wasn't her intention to spy on her master, but she hadn't found the right timing to enter, and now she was watching secretly.
She also heard the conversation and could see why the holographic screen gave video on both sides.
"What is that?..." Koneko frowned, the cute girl of the group felt jealous to see a direct competition for her master's favorite (pet).
While the girls were in their world, the system was satisfied with the first introduction to Allen, however, it worried that they might have the wrong idea that Allen is a defenseless boy, so it made another clip with more... interesting monts from Allen.
On the screen, a notification appeared; Akeno curiously opened it, and it was a second video "Intro 2".
Akeno looked at Rias, and she nodded...
However, before Rias, Akeno, and Koneko saw the Clips, the system felt its connection to Allen cut off, and all the viewers' screens went dark.
[Host?!]
[Allen!!!]

(World of Dragon Ball, Monts before)
Beerus watched the screen while crossing his arms, sowhat irritated and impatient. His powerful ki caused disturbances throughout the entire universe.
"Hey Whis..."
"What's the matter, Beerus-sama?"
Whis looked at Beerus who, despite being selfish, gluttonous, and rarely doing his job instead of sleeping, was still a god of destruction.
"Why is my almost-disciple having so many problems with these insects..."
Beerus's words were cut off after watching the battles that followed his first encounter with Loki, where he obtained the core of destruction.
"That's rude, Beerus-sama..." Whis, the Angel, first smiled, but then narrowed his eyes, "But it's true... soone like young Allen shouldn't have problems in this situation... it seems he's intentionally not defeating them imdiately..."
Allen is cautious, perhaps too much so; since many of his powers have a ti limit, Allen tends to be very reluctant to use them. For example, in his fight with Lobo, despite Lobo's immortality, he could have eradicated him with the power of a god of destruction, not just any god of destruction but one from the Dragon Ball universe.
The sa holds for Superman; Allen could have ended the fight quickly, but he was cautious, not knowing when Darkseid would appear and how powerful he would be. This caution was justified at the ti.
"Why doesn't he defeat them?!" Beerus demanded.
Beerus trained Allen, a privilege no one could boast of, yet this brat does not maintain the dignity necessary to represent a god of destruction.
"If I had to guess, it's to conserve his power... didn't you say, Beerus-sama, that young Allen can only endure the power he has for a short ti?"
"Ah, that's right!" Beerus's intimidating aura dissipated, "Hahaha, and here I was thinking about destroying him!"
"..." Whis watched Beerus silently, which put the anthropomorphic purple cat in a spot.
Though Whis is his subordinate angel, he was also his teacher at one ti and knows him well.
Beerus glanced at the chat for a mont and narrowed his eyes, "Well, I want to wait for the kid to make a mistake and scold him... a mortal gaining so much power is very dangerous. If it were from my universe, I might have to destroy him, but he doesn't seem to be misusing that power as he promised..."
Whis smiled, "Has Beerus-sama gone soft?"
"Idiot! Obviously, I want to hit the kid for knocking down my disciple's title... but I wouldn't want to lose such an incredible cook!"
"Ohohoho, I see~"
But... out of nowhere, Beerus's screen went black; this happened to all viewers in all worlds. After so long of uninterrupted operation the streaming system stopped working for the first ti.
...
...
The system was nervous trying to re-establish the connection with Allen, it seed that his body was there and soul was there too, but Allen's mind was sowhere else. After a lot of trying, the system managed to initiate a partial connection, Allen did not know that they were seeing him, nor could they communicate with him; they could simply observe him.
Before everyone's eyes a second, Allen appeared... imdiately everyone felt shivers; even Beerus himself and Whis beca serious; they could feel that Allen was terribly dangerous, terrifying, and cruel, an antithesis to the Allen they all knew.
It must not get out!
That thing must not go free!
That monster must not win!
