It was Ironcrest; Allen frowned; he had heard this guy liked to drink blood of sick children, and he was one of his main targets, but he hadn't been able to locate him after the bar incident, where Allen had severely injured him and sent him to a hospital.

"Allen, this guy came out of nowhere!" Annie said, annoyed and confused.

"Something wrong, Annie?" Allen asked, noticing her troubled expression.

"Allen, I felt like he wanted to kidnap me or Kimiko, not help Crimson Countess..."

Allen turned towards Ironcrest, first stripped him of his powers, then kicked him to wake him up.

[Skill Acquired: Iron Skin]

Ironcrest's body returned to normal, and his wounds started bleeding more and more. Allen kicked a wound on the man's stomach.

"Ahhh! It hurts!! It HURTS A LOT!!"

"Shut up..." Allen commanded, and the man fell silent, his eyes wide with a terrified look at Allen.

"Tell me what you were trying to do by targeting Annie and Kimiko..."

Allen implanted another idea into Ironcrest's mind, causing the man's eyes to dim and appear to fall into a trance.

"I was ordered to kidnap one of those girls, I don't know why, but if I didn't, I'd be finished..."

Allen fell silent as he pondered. Why would Soldier Boy appear out of nowhere? He knew Stan had released him, but Stan wouldn't gain anything by having them fight at this moment.

Felicia – Soldier Boy is the kind of lawless bastard who might have come of his own accord.

Aizen – It's more likely that Stan Edgar, seeing that he might lose Soldier Boy, tried to gain an advantage another way.

"That doesn't make sense; it would violate our agreement..."

Tony – Aren't you trusting Stan Edgar's words too much?

"Maybe... but if I had to guess, I'd say this move was made by someone else, and it could only be Sister Sage."

Homelander had been in such a good mood that he summoned The Deep for a special meal.

The Deep was excited to finally be recognized and didn't hesitate to doubt Homelander's intentions.

When he arrived, only Ashley was at the table with Homelander, and there was a banquet of seafood, which made The Deep uncomfortable.

"Sit down, I ordered something special for you!"

The Deep swallowed nervously as the chef placed a silver tray in front of him, opening it to reveal an octopus.

"Oh, it's Timothy!" The Deep was surprised and smiled unwittingly, not thinking about why this was happening.

Homelander laughed, "You know, Deep, my popularity is recovering..."

"That's great news!"

Homelander raised his hand to interrupt The Deep.

"That's why I want to avoid anything that might tarnish the reputation of The Seven..."

"..."

Homelander smiled, but his eyes were cold, "Eat that octopus..."

The Deep turned pale upon hearing Homelander's words; at the same time, he heard Timothy's pleas.

"I can't, he's my friend..."

"Eat him!"

Homelander's gaze made it clear—if The Deep didn't eat Timothy, Homelander would kill him.

The Deep picked up the chopsticks, grabbed Timothy, and brought him to his mouth, his eyes filled with tears as he heard Timothy's desperate screams.

The Deep put Timothy in his mouth and looked at Homelander, hoping for any trace of mercy, but there was only cruelty in Homelander's eyes. The Deep bit down while Timothy's screams echoed in his head. After a couple of attempts, The Deep swallowed him, ink leaking from his mouth.

Homelander stood up from his chair and positioned himself behind The Deep.

"Do you know why this happened?"

The Deep shook his head slightly...

"Because there are three billion women in the world, and you chose to f**k an octopus!!" Homelander smiled, "Next time it won't be something as simple as eating a raw octopus... understand?"

The Deep had a blank look as he nodded. Homelander patted his shoulder and prepared to leave.

Ashley also stood up and left.

The Deep ran to the bathroom to vomit, hoping for a miracle, but when Timothy came out, he was no longer moving... The Deep pounded the wall in frustration.

Weak, foolish, and cowardly... he had always carried those stigmas but had convinced himself they weren't true, yet he always ended up acting in such a manner.

In a young world where not even Goku's adventure had begun, Beerus the god of destruction of universe seven was in big trouble.

"Beerus, Zeno-sama is very interested in your adventure, so much so that he's willing to forgive you for abandoning your position as the God of Destruction."

In front of a kneeling Beerus stood the Daishinkai (Grand Priest), father of the angels and right-hand man to Zeno, King of All.

"I... I'm sorry!"

Beerus banged his head against the floor again and again.

"It doesn't matter~" the voice of a child made Beerus tremble; behind the Grand Priest stood a small child. With blue and purple head.

This being is the most important in this world, the creator of everything, its regent and guardian, akin to "The Presence" in DC or "TOAA" in Marvel.

Why does such an incredible presence have the appearance and mentality of a child?

If someone is omnipotent, why would they need to ask others for anything?

These are questions no one can answer.

One thing is certain, little Zeno had a request for Beerus.

Beerus trembled with fear, knowing that Zeno rarely asks anything of others, which meant his failure was likely to lead to his destruction, despite the title and power of the strongest God of Destruction being insignificant compared to his lord's omnipotence.

"Hey~ I want to meet him~ bring him to my world~"

Beerus turned pale, understanding what Zeno meant, yet the request seemed unrealistic considering he was unable to track Allen outside of this world.

"As you command!"

Beerus responded without hesitation or doubt, as Zeno's requests must be fulfilled without fail. With that mindset, Beerus agreed, even without knowing how he would accomplish it.

Whis, who had remained silent until now, stepped forward.

"Zeno-sama, Father, may I speak?"

The Grand Priest could anticipate what Whis was about to say, knowing that Zeno's request was irrational and beyond Beerus's reach.

"That's fine~," Zeno said curiously.

"I fear that 'searching and bringing' the human child is nearly impossible for Beerus-sama."

"Ehhh? That can't be..."

"However, I believe Zeno-sama's concern is unnecessary."

"Oh?!" Zeno's eyes lit up.

The Grand Priest narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean, Whis?"

"The young Allen will definitely come to this world!"

"..." The Grand Priest remained silent.

"Really?!" Zenon became excited.

"Hohoho, yes!"

Beerus and Whis returned to their universe with a tense aura.

"Beerus-sama can breathe now..."

"Ah! Whis, I'm screwed!"

"That's right, Beerus-sama, but be careful with the words you use..."

Beerus looked at the sky of his planet, thinking just like Whis that Allen would definitely come to their world, although they didn't know when. For someone like Beerus, waiting even a million years isn't an issue, but Zeno's patience has its limits.

"For now, we can do nothing... maybe I should visit Freeza, I heard he has an interesting race under his command... Hm?"

A screen appeared in front of Beerus; after reading the introduction, he exclaimed.

"Kid!"

Beerus had received an invitation to the live-stream, however this caused him to stop going to visit Freeza, it may seem like a simple action but it caused a deviation of the timeline.
