Chapter 8 :"The Battle Beyond Earth"

Part 1

On Earth, inside the Shin.co Company's laboratory, the team had acquired an ancient technology, and Shino himself was studying it. He was fascinated at first, but that fascination soon came to an end when he realized that this technology had the power to advance humanity to the point of becoming like gods. As they studied the ancient language, Shino, the smartest man in the world, managed to translate it. It read: "As you read this, monsters will envelop everything into chaos and reduce everything to nothingness. You mortals have failed to understand the evil you have unleashed."

Suddenly, the ancient item began to shoot a beam of light upwards. Instantly, their satellites picked up on what was happening, seeing beyond the observable universe, 100 billion light years away. They activated their telescope satellites to get a closer look, using Shin.co technology. The satellite was able to travel 1 billion light years in just 5 seconds. As they looked in horror, they saw ships bigger than stars. The computer counted the number of ships viewed by the telescope satellites. All the scientists were horrified, except for Shino, as the computer counted 300,000 ships, each one as big as the solar system itself. But as they continued to observe, they saw a mothership that was so big it dwarfed the other ships in size. It was so big that the Milky Way galaxy was only half its size.

Shino and his team observed everything through their satellite telescope and calculated the number of ships, but they didn't anticipate what they were about to witness. As they looked back at the telescope, they saw the ships open their doors, and red figures began to emerge. Looking even closer, they saw that there were three different types of figures - red, blue, and grey. Shino assigned them names, calling the red ones R-01, the blue ones R-02, and the grey ones R-03.

The red figures had horns on different parts of their heads, a pointy tail, and a pitchfork. The blue figures had multiple heads, ranging from five to twenty, or even no heads at all. The grey figures were the most human-like in appearance, but with sharp claws. As they continued to observe, the computer counted that each color of figures had one decillion each, meaning the army had a total of three decillion.

Suddenly, one of the grey figures raised his hand, and a bright light emitted from it. The satellite telescope was destroyed, leaving the scientists in distress. One scientist questioned, "We were at least 99 billion light years away. How did they see us and even hit us?" Another replied, "It can't be light. It can't be that fast. Even then, the light hit the satellite in 99 billion light year distance." The scientists panicked, realizing that they had summoned something they should not have.

Shino and his team realized the gravity of the situation and knew that they needed to gather as much data as possible to come up with a counter-strategy. He instructed different teams to contact people in neighboring galaxies and launch an attack to acquire the data they needed. He designated Team A to contact people working on Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy, while Teams B to E were tasked with contacting galaxies like Large Magellanic Cloud, Small Magellanic Cloud, Triangulum Galaxy (M33), and Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy. Finally, he instructed Team F to contact world leaders and Team G to ensure that this information did not become public knowledge, as it could cause the world to crumble.

Shino then sighed and emphasized the importance of their mission, saying, "If we fall, humanity will fall, and this threat is not only a danger to humanity but the entire universe." He went to his personal lab, where he planned to implement his brand-new invention to help with their mission. Before he left, one of his interns asked what he was going to do, and he smiled and replied, "Like humanity, I will adapt and win. I will implement that on my new invention." The intern felt a sense of hope for the world as Shino left to work on his invention.

As Shino entered his personal laboratory, he looked around and uttered the famous words of Julius Caesar, "veni, vidi, vici". As he said those magical words, the laboratory machines transformed into a normal laboratory. The laboratory showcased every invention he ever made - the prodigy over the world. He had created immortality by erasing aging, and had even made an artificial black hole so safe that it was usable for infinite energy for the world. He had designed a rocket that could traverse through space, making a 100,000 light-year journey feel like a few seconds round trip. Shino had even acquired ownership of five galaxies close to the Milky Way, populated by robots so advanced that they could acquire Type 2 civilizations worth of robots. He had sent people to those galaxies to explore.

However, his greatest creation yet was "The H Assimilator." This invention combined his immortality, aging reversal, infinite energy artificial black hole, and a special type of metal acquired from meteors to create an arm that was the greatest creation he had ever made.

As he looked at his current version of "The H Assimilator," he realized that he needed to make some upgrades. He grabbed the syringe containing the nanobots and injected them into his arm. Surprisingly, he felt no pain. As he integrated the nanobots into his system, the first version of "The H Assimilator" displayed a screen asking if he wanted to upgrade to the latest version. He voiced his agreement, and his right arm began to change. Instead of a plain metal arm, it now had a sleek black exterior with blue lines. The upgraded version also offered new abilities, such as the power to absorb ki or energy to any finite level, the ability to shrink objects beyond the subatomic level, and a full body armor made of the same material as "The H Assimilator." He dubbed this second version "The H-02 Assimilator."

As he wielded his weapon, he spotted a potted plant nearby. With a wave of his arm, he enlarged the plant until it towered like an oak tree. He then utilized his shrinking abilities to reduce the mighty oak to a minuscule size smaller than an ant. Peering through the lenses of his extraordinary eyes, he examined the tiny oak in ultra HD quality. Shino had successfully created a shrinking machine and decided to test it out. He called his employees using his arm as a cellular phone and requested a ki user. One of his employees managed to locate a girl who had mastered the art of ki manipulation. Shino instructed her to summon the most powerful blast she could muster. With a fierce determination, the girl enveloped herself in ki and unleashed a truck-sized blast of light towards Shino. But his extraordinary eyes calculated the speed of the blast to be 30 times faster than the speed of light, giving him ample time to react. He absorbed the entire blast into his arm with ease.

The ki user was astonished that someone who didn't appear to have a significant amount of ki could effortlessly withstand her most potent and fastest blast. Shino compensated her with 15,000 yen and saw her off. He then used his thoughts to confirm that his latest creation, the H-02 Assimilator, was error-free. As he checked, someone knocked on the door. Shino gave permission to enter, and it was his former professor, who now worked for him. He greeted her, but she was annoyed and scolded him for forgetting her name, Sheila. She reminded him that they were colleagues now, and not professor and student anymore. Shino sarcastically replied, "Yeah, yeah, nice to meet you too, professor." Sheila continued to poke him while he worked, and it began to irritate him. He eventually snapped back, reminding her that he was the one who got her the job after she had been kicked out of a renowned college for using illegal drugs. He added that she had no friends but him, and she kept calling him from prison to break her out. Now, she had a job because of him. Sheila attempted to defuse the situation, saying she was joking and that she needed the job to pay her apartment rent.

Sheila, with her blond hair, looked at Shino's invention and asked, "You're still stuck on that thing. Why haven't you moved on to a new project?" Shino responded, "Unlike my previous projects, this one has the potential to become even greater with smaller evolutions along the way."Shino then explained his theory to Sheila, "Other scientists believe that the universe is infinite in size and distance, and my research has proved it. When the supposed invasion from outer space happened, my theory was confirmed. The aliens, such as R-01, R-02, and R-03, were able to travel through infinite distance, which is beyond the 100 billion light years of the observable universe."

He showed her the footage of the alien army and said, "My new technology can see beyond our current understanding. It can see beyond the observable universe's 100 billion light years to a distance of 999 Duotrigintillion light years. However, most of space is just empty and void of anything."Shino continued to explain, "When I saw these aliens, they just popped out of nowhere. My computers can sense if something has appeared because they can perceive and react to plank time. The speed of their ship is so fast that even my supercomputers can't find it."

Sheila was impressed and commented, "Wow, I know you're a prodigy, and I am smart too. I kind of forgot that Duotrigintillion is such a large number that even you can comprehend how big it is." Shino added, "My brain, eyes, and body can perceive and react to plank times or any finite levels of number."

As Shino continued building and improving his new invention, Sheila asked if he would sell the technology all over the world or even to other galaxies. Shino replied that the first version was enough for humanity. "I have created a healthy virus, so small that even the smallest viruses, viroids, can't see it. It's different from viruses that harm people; instead, it helps them. In fact, the whole planet is infected with it."Sheila was surprised and angry at this information. "Did you forget that viruses can kill a country or even the entire humanity?" she asked furiously.Shino quickly corrected himself. "Sorry, sorry, I worded it wrong. In short, I created a virus that can make humanity not age for 1000 years. So, in a sense, the new middle age will be at least 600 years old."When Sheila heard this, she asked excitedly, "Wait, so me too?"Shino confirmed, "Yes, you too."Sheila was thrilled and exclaimed, "Yes, I'm going to stay young!".

While Shino was working, he was talking to Sheila. Suddenly, a member of Team F called Shino and informed him that all the world leaders were ready to take his call. Shino replied, "Tell them I'm coming," and quickly changed into a formal attire.

He left for the meeting, ready to report to the world leaders.

Part 2

All the world leaders appeared on the monitor. The President of the US asked, "Where is Shino? I thought time was of the essence." The other world leaders agreed, and Shino entered in formal attire. The world leaders asked why he called this big meeting, and Shino showed them a clip of the army of aliens. "We have tallied everything they have. They have normal ships so big that they dwarf our solar system 2 times over. We counted 300,000 ships in total, including the mothership that is so big that the Milky Way galaxy is only half its size," Shino explained, as he showed clips of the mothership floating in space entering the observable universe.

Shino then showed pictures of the aliens themselves, starting with R-01 the red men, followed by R-02 and R-03. "Each one of them has 1 decillion of army, and in total, the three of them have 3 decillion," Shino added.

The world leaders asked about the mothership and whether the other aliens came out of it. Shino replied, "Actually, I can answer your question right now. My workers successfully made the satellites I asked for and launched them into space. We are looking at them now." He showed an ultra HD image in space, in the same 1 billion light-year radius where the last satellite was destroyed. "We saw the aliens at least 99 billion light-years away from us, and in the last few hours, they have traveled to us, closing in at 50.5 billion light-years away from us. From our understanding, they have traveled at least 24.75 billion times faster than light," Shino continued.

"We showed you R-03, the gray alien man who was able to shoot a ray of light or ki. He was able to shoot the satellite in under 5 microseconds at 100 billion light-years. The computers and I were able to calculate that this blast was at least 40 trillion times faster than the speed of light," Shino added. The world leaders were surprised and baffled at this revelation and asked, "By all means, what should we do, Shino Takehashi?"

Shino replied, "Give me access to all the resources available in the world, and make sure to keep this out of the public. We need all the defenses we can get to survive this universal threat, world leaders."

The world leaders argued with each other for a minute before asking, "How much time do we have before they breach us?" Shino replied, "It seems the aliens in the satellite are closing in on us, but don't worry. We have reinforcements in space to hold off the invasion while my team and I examine and counter their attack. Our alien companions have a total of 3 decillion in total, and our army in space has reached a type 2 civilization thanks to the robots I created. In total, my team and I have called for reinforcements that stand at 50,000 kilometers tall, with a total of at least 300 nonilion robots. However, even with our advanced technology, we can only hold them back for so long."

The world leaders replied, "Do what you can, Shino Takehashi. We will leave all of humanity on your shoulders, and we, the world leaders, will support you on the side." Shino replied, "Thank you, world leaders. Before you go, my army has been battling threats in space, and we will hold out while we can."

Part 3

As the world leaders left the building, Shino hurried back to his laboratory to check the data his creation was providing in space. Looking through his telescope, he saw the robots battling the demons, and Sheila joined him to see for herself. Shino quickly made another telescope for Sheila to use, and she watched as the robots emerged from the galaxies they owned. Each robot was 50,000 kilometers tall, traveling 50 billion light years in just a few nanoseconds and moving 833 octillion times faster than light to reach the battlefield.

The robots engaged the ships and managed to wipe out 1,000 of the alien vessels, pushing back the decillion-strong alien army. However, tragedy struck when Deicoon witnessed the R-01s' ki levels increase to an alarming degree. Shino measured the ki levels and found that they were beyond his calculations. Suddenly, a beam of light destroyed the satellite and half of the robot army was destroyed and sliced into pieces.

But Shino wasn't worried; in fact, the robots seemed to regenerate themselves. When Sheila asked how strong the regeneration was, Shino explained that as long as there was a piece of metal or even a drop of the special metal that he had created, the robots could regenerate as quickly as they traveled in space. They were even able to regenerate all their body parts. Shino added that his robots could only be destroyed if every atom or sub-atomic particle of their being was erased. As they battled the aliens, the robots continued to regenerate quickly and overwhelm their enemies. However, there were too many enemies for the robots to handle.

Shino then instructed one of his team members to collect the bodies of the dead aliens, examine all the data, and send it back to him. Several robots carried out this task, collecting all the dead specimens and examining their carcasses. The data was then sent back to Shino, who analyzed it and discovered that the entire alien army was made up of constructs made of ki. Moreover, their ki was actually living, which meant that someone was secretly behind all of this.

As Shino gathered the data, he inputted it into the second version of the "H assimilator."

As Shino watched his robots battle in space and destroy more ships, he initially thought they were going to win. Sheila was celebrating, but Shino didn't move an inch and asked her to look around more. He had a feeling that something was off, that it was too easy to destroy these aliens, even with their ki constructs made of R-01, R-02, and R-03.

Suddenly, a beam of light made of ki destroyed multiple galaxies and wiped out half of the robot army. Shino watched in horror as a hand grabbed one of the robot's heads and revealed a different kind of alien, one that was even stronger than the R-01. As the alien approached the robot's head, it opened its mouth and released a ki energy beam that shot the alien's body. However, to Shino's shock, the alien remained unaffected. The robot spoke to the alien, but it initially responded in an ancient alien language. Eventually, the alien spoke English and said, "Humans, it has been a long time since we last met, three universes ago. Look at how much you've improved; you can even make beings out of ki."

The robot regenerated into its full body and used all of its energy and ki into its fist to try to punch the alien. The after-effects of the punch were able to destroy stars, but it did zero damage to the alien, who shook it off like it was a tickle. The alien used the same light ki blast to erase the robot and all of its metal. It then spoke again, "Humans, we are the rightful rulers of these infinite universes. Today, humanity itself will be wiped out, and the universe will be remade in our image. We are called the Demon Imps."

As the demon spoke, Shino was baffled and questioned, "Demons, imps?" Seeing the demon imp as a threat, the imp proudly proclaimed, "I am the lieutenant of the great demon imp Chalmeer, and this empire belongs to the great commander in chief Taunolto the great!" The demon shouted in glory of his commander, but Shino remained calm and prepared for this moment. He turned to Sheila and asked her to press the button nearby, saying, "They called me paranoid or crazy, and now it's time to prove them wrong. Sheila, press the button."

Sheila was trembling in fear as she saw the demon imp's face burning with a skeleton on fire. Shino screamed, "SHEILA!" to snap her out of her fear, and she pressed the buttons in the right order as instructed by Shino. Suddenly, something massive happened across all five galaxies that Shino owned. Sheila saw five robots emerge, each at least 28.383 sextillion kilometers in size.

As Sheila observed the five robots emerging, she commented to Shino, "You know, bigger doesn't always mean better." Shino acknowledged her point, but explained his love for giant robots fighting, as seen in popular anime such as Gundam, Power Rangers, Voltron, and Gurren Lagan. However, things were not as they seemed, and Sheila watched in frustration as all five galaxies shattered into pieces.

Shaking Shino angrily, she exclaimed, "Hey, you anime geek! Your plan didn't work, it broke!" Shino calmly replied, "Look again, Sheila," and as she did, she saw the shattered galaxies begin to fuse and merge together. They became one massive being, standing at 100,000 kilometers tall. Even the demon imp lieutenant saw this and scoffed, "Hmmm, do you think this will surprise us?"

As the demon imp spoke, a burst of energy surged through the universe, shaking every galaxy in the observable universe, including Earth. Sheila shouted, "Shinooooo0oooo! How the heck do you have this at your disposal? Are you that paranoid?" Shino chuckled and explained that he had too much free time, and that the second version of his "H Assimilator" had the same active and passive abilities as the robot , but with an added ability to adapt to its opponent.

As the robot emerged, powering up its ki into its base form, it shook every galaxy in the observable universe. This robot was different from the rest, it was humanoid and had the same face as Shino's old friend Rin Takanashi. Chalmeer looked at the robot and tried to test it by firing a light ki beam, the same one that destroyed the satellite. But as the demon imp tried to fire the same light ki, the robot blitzed and punched Chalmeer to the point where he was sent to the end of the observable universe. This made Chalmeer angry and he traveled back the 50 billion light years in 3 picoseconds to try and punch the robot at the speed of 5.56 septillion times the speed of light. However, it did not faze the robot and the robot was able to easily block it and counter punch Chalmeer in the stomach, sending him back to space. But instead of letting him fly away, the robot followed and used a barrage of punches on Chalmeer. Chalmeer was able to block them, but the robot opened its mouth and launched a large energy ki blast that was bigger than multiple galaxies. As the robot saw that Chalmeer was damaged but not dead, Chalmeer said, "So I have a challenge, fine then."

Chalmeer powered up, but before he could fully transform, the robot charged at him with blinding speed. They clashed with such force that they hurtled through the observable universe a million times over, in mere picoseconds. They clashed and clashed, each attack faster than the last, until finally, the robot landed a devastating punch on Chalmeer.

He cracked and cracked, until he revealed a new form - his fiery skeletal system sprouted wings, and his red flames turned blue. Chalmeer couldn't help but remark on the robot's rudeness for not letting him transform fully, but he knew that the robot's mistake had allowed him to reach even greater power.

"Behold my true power," Chalmeer declared, and unleashed a punch that sent the robot hurtling towards a random planet. But even as it lay there, the robot fired a beam of light so fast, it made Chalmeer's previous attacks seem slow in comparison. This beam was 24 septillion times faster than the 40 trillion faster than light itself, and so huge that it dwarfed the robot's earlier attack.

Chalmeer stood there, taking in the sight before him, a smile spreading across his face. "You have given me a gift," he said to the fallen robot. "The gift of testing my true power. And I have emerged victorious."

As the beam of light from Chalmeer struck the robot, the machine caught it, and began to absorb its power. With each passing moment, the robot grew stronger and faster, until even Chalmeer couldn't see it. Suddenly, a hand pierced his chest, revealing his beating heart. Chalmeer tried to speak, but before he could even utter a word, his body shriveled up, his insides absorbed by the robot. All that remained was a lifeless husk of skin. The robot fired another ki beam, obliterating Chalmeer into pure nothingness.

Watching in horror, Sheila and Shino couldn't believe what they had just witnessed. "How could your robot defeat the demon imp? Even I'm surprised by its power," Sheila exclaimed.

Shino replied, "As I said, my robot has the ability to adapt and become more powerful than before. Let's say, for example, that an opponent has a 100x boost. My robot can counterattack by adding 105x power to itself. It can adapt and power up by absorbing energy blasts, like the one the demon imp threw at it."

The power of the robot was undeniable, and as Sheila and Shino looked on in awe, they knew that there was no limit to what it could accomplish. They had created a true force to be reckoned with, and nothing could stand in its way.

As the robot destroyed Chalmeer, it suddenly saw a beam of light hurtling towards it. But instead of a single beam, a hundred beams of light shot out, each one as fast as Chalmeer's super beam. The beam was so immense that it blazed through half of the observable universe. However, the robot easily reacted and embraced the light. As it absorbed the light, the robot's power increased exponentially.but just as the robot absorbed all the energy, it was kicked down with immense force. The robot flew down at an incredible speed and was kicked again and again, a million times over throughout the universe. Ten lieutenant demon imps had appeared and were relentlessly attacking the robot, delivering powerful kicks throughout space.

As the ten lieutenant demon imps charged towards the robot, it quickly powered up and counteracted their attack. The robot pushed all ten lieutenants back with a tremendous force. However, the demon imps were not easily defeated. They responded by powering up, revealing that their base form was as strong as Chalmeer's super form, which surprised Shino.

Shino watched in amazement as all ten lieutenants transformed into their super forms. It became apparent that Chalmeer was the weakest of the group, and all ten lieutenants were far stronger. As they transformed, their power multiplied, matching that of Chalmeer at 6,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000x. The robot was also powering up, gathering all its strength to face this new threat.

As Shino witnessed the tremendous power of the robot and the ten lieutenant demon imps, he knew that he had to act quickly to protect the universe from their destructive force. He turned to Sheila and commanded her to press a button six times, and Sheila did as she was told.

Suddenly, a massive shield made of energy and ki appeared, enveloping the Milky Way and all the galaxies owned by Shino. The shield had an incredible one septillion layers, each one stronger than the last, forming an impenetrable barrier capable of withstanding even the most destructive forces in the universe.

As the robot and the demon imps continued to power up, their energy began to wreak havoc on the universe, destroying everything in their path. Moons, asteroids, stars, black holes, and entire galaxies were obliterated, and space itself was cracking under the immense pressure.

However, the shield held strong, protecting the universe from complete destruction. All that remained after the battle was the area enclosed by Shino's shield, which had withstood an attack capable of destroying the observable universe 100 times over.

Shino breathed a sigh of relief as the dust settled, grateful that she had been able to protect the universe from such a catastrophic event.

As the power struggle continued, Shino monitored the cameras and saw that the robot was fine, but everything else was destroyed. The satellites they had placed were no longer functioning, and Shino instructed his employees to create new ones as quickly as possible. He also offered to provide help if they needed it. Meanwhile, the robot was suddenly attacked again and pulled apart by two lieutenants. However, to their surprise, the robot's main body regenerated its limbs and split into five separate robots, all with the same level of power.

As the ten lieutenants fired a beam of super-fast ki light, 144 undecillion times faster than light, the five robots responded by opening their mouths and palms and firing an opposing beam. The beams clashed and created a wave of energy that dwarfed all previous battles. The waves of energy sent shockwaves throughout the now-empty observable universe, except for the galaxies owned by Shino. These galaxies were the only ones left in this universe, and the battle between the robots and the lieutenants was wreaking havoc on them.

As the energy waves from the clash destroyed all of Shino's remaining weaker robots and wiped out the three decillion weaker demon imps, all the smaller ships were destroyed, leaving only the mother ship, which was 100 percent intact and more durable than every galaxy in the observable universe combined. The beam clash was still going on, and all 10 lieutenants were pouring all their power into it. However, one of the lieutenants noticed that the other four robots were nowhere to be seen. They suddenly saw the other four robots diving through the beam and getting closer to them. The robots surprised the lieutenants with a large beam attack, using their mouths to clash with the lieutenants. Only half of the lieutenants were able to block and tank the attack, while the other five were disintegrated into nothingness. The remaining five lieutenants retaliated with barrages and kicks towards the robots. The robots, however, were able to block and counterattack with superior martial arts, clashing back with equal strength.

As the demon imps lunged forward, the five other robots sprang into action. With swift punches and shoves, they sent the five lieutenants crashing into each other, causing serious damage.

But the robots weren't done yet. They pooled all their power together for one final attack. One robot channeled all its ki energy into a massive ball, which grew to be 300 times larger than the sun. Another fired a concentrated ki beam at the demons, while the third and fourth robots dove in with powerful fists enveloped in ki. The fifth robot, meanwhile, surrounded the others with a protective barrier to contain the blast.

With their combined efforts, the robots succeeded in disintegrating the demon imps. However, the collateral damage was severe and wiped out the other four robots, leaving only the barrier-generating gift robot standing.

As the dust settled, the lone robot surveyed the scene, contemplating the cost of victory. It was a bitter triumph, but at least the demon imps were no more.

The lone robot turned its attention to the mother ship looming in the distance. Gathering all its strength, it charged a massive beam of ki energy, ready to strike at the heart of the enemy.

But just as the robot was about to unleash its attack, it was caught off guard. Turning around, it saw that its torso had been ripped in half by two even stronger demon imps. Despite the robot's incredible adaptability, it was unable to react in time against these foes, who were faster and stronger than any it had faced before.

As the robot tried to regenerate its missing parts, it suddenly realized that half of its face had been destroyed. Looking up, it saw an even more powerful demon imp looming over it.

Desperate to survive, the robot quickly formulated a plan. It separated into two parts - the remaining functional half and the destroyed half. The functional half shrunk down to the size of an ant and scurried away, narrowly escaping destruction.

Meanwhile, the three demon imps destroyed the rest of the robot with ease. But as they reveled in their victory, they didn't notice the tiny, surviving half of the robot making its escape.

The robot quickly regenerated, recovering from its injuries and emerging even stronger than before. But even with its newfound strength, it was no match for the relentless assault of the demon imps. Time and time again, the robot was destroyed, only to regenerate and continue the cycle.

However, the robot's ability to regenerate eventually reached its limit. In a final, desperate attack, the demon imps blasted the robot with everything they had, intent on reducing it to nothingness.

But just as it seemed like all was lost, three figures suddenly appeared. Shino recognized them immediately - his younger sister Shana, Experiment H-A-01 (also known as Deicoon), and Shirou, the intern who had won the tournament in Shin.co.

Working in perfect harmony, the three newcomers deflected the demon imps' attack with ease.

Part 4

As Shana, Deicoon, and Shino arrived, Shino was surprised to see their surging ki overwhelm even the robot. As Shino was looking around, something kept tapping his neck, and he thought it was Sheila. He ignored it at first, but when it was repeated a few times, he finally turned to Sheila and screamed, "Sheeeeila, what the heck do you want?" Sheila said it wasn't her, and Shino, still annoyed, said, "If you want to piss me off so bad, stop it right now!" Sheila replied, "Like I said, I did not do it."

A familiar voice then said hi, and Shino turned around to see his old friend, but also his enemy. In Shino's mind, they were neutral for now, and he said, "Hello, Laka. Nice to see you dropping by." Before the two neutral friends could chat, Sheila stood up and said to Shino, "See, I told you I didn't do it, and you ignored me and started talking to this random stranger. You didn't even say sorry to me!" Sheila stood up and left crying, and Shino said, "Wait, Sheila. I'm sorry," but it was too late; she had already left.

Shino looked at Laka, and Laka smiled, but Shino punched Laka in the face and said, "This is your fault. Why did you surprise me, Laka?" Laka said, "Hey, hey, look. I'm sorry for intruding on your coworker." Shino said, "What are you doing here? I thought we were enemies." Laka nodded and replied, "You may look at me as an enemy, but I look at you as a friend in need." Shino said, "Gosh, you haven't changed that much after all, you so-called god-be-called-mortal." Laka replied, "Hey, I left that life behind. I hated it."

As the two old friends talked, Shino asked, "What took you guys too long?" Laka replied, "Hey, I trained them to master their ki, physical stats, and martial arts to the fullest. Plus, there was an actual human on the team we had to take care of." Shino said, "Two hours is all you need to be this strong? Really?" Laka explained, "I'll tell you the truth. Do you know the hyperbolic time chamber from Dragon Ball?" Shino replied, "Who wouldn't? It's my first and always best anime that inspired me to have multipliers in my inventions."

Laka continued to explain that, like in Dragon Ball, one year equates to one day in their hyperbolic time chamber. However, his hyperbolic time chamber was different. It could train you for any specific time that Laka wanted. For example, Laka could train himself for 1 million years and come back to the real world and only left for 1 attoseconds

Shino asked, "You guys took 2 hours? Yes, I know. And I said to them it only took 2 hours in the real world, but in my dimension, it took them 2,800 years to reach that state of their power. I told them it only took them 1 microsecond." Shino questioned, "So you told them it took 1 microsecond?" Laka replied, "Yes, I lied to them because I needed you to be taught a lesson."

Shino was confused and asked, "What lesson? What about the 2 hours of my inventions destroying every galaxy in the universe?" Laka responded, "What about not looking too much? You released a wave of evil. Good thing you were prepared or paranoid enough to defend yourself. But that's where you stop for now. The demon imps that my friends are fighting each have the ability to destroy the observable universe. And I know about your telescope into 999 duotrigintillion light-years beyond the observable universe. If the universe is that length, one general is able to destroy it 1 million times over. That's why I decided to train them."

Shino was angry and asked, "What about you then? Why don't you do it if you're that powerful?" Laka explained that he simply couldn't do it because he made a pact with someone. Shino shouted, "Get out of here! GET OUT NOW!!!" And Laka teleported away.

As Shana, Deicoon, and Laka protected the robot in space, it became damaged. Suddenly, one of the demon generals spoke, "I see that humanity has warriors to match our power. For our great commander, Tanulto the Great, bow down and he will grant you power beyond imagination."

Shana replied, "Hard pass, lady."

The demon imp general, Pilraa the Negater, responded, "You fool! I am Pilraa, Queen of the Red Demon Imps. Your powers would be gone in a trace."

Without warning, Pilrtaa charged at Shana with incredible speed, punching her and sending her hurtling beyond the observable universe, over 200 novemdecillion light years away. Despite the danger, Deicoon decided to follow Shana. But before he could reach her, one of the stronger demon generals grabbed his leg and hurled him into space, leaving him stranded.

With Shirou left facing the final demon general, he confidently assumed a martial arts stance and challenged the demon, "Bring it on!"

The demon general removed his cloak and declared, "Now you face Nilratt the Infinity, the ruler of the Blue Demon Imps!" He powered up, and Shirou prepared for the battle ahead.

As they clashed, each punch had the potential to destroy the universe, even the barriers that Shino had erected couldn't withstand the immense power. Just as things seemed dire, Laka appeared and cast his power [Stage 101 at 15.5%] fortifying Shino's barrier with even more layers.

Meanwhile, Deicoon was stranded with the demon general who had thrown him. The demon introduced himself, "I am Uldi, the Non-corporality, ruler of the Grey Demon Imps."

All three warriors fought valiantly against the might of the demon generals, including Pilraa the Negater, Infinity, and Noncorporeal Uldi.
