IM/DC Chapter 158
🕑 Added 2024-07-12 23:21:53 +0000 UTCKilling Trigon was… Expensive. I had a lot of debts I had to pay for all the help I got, unfortunately. Not only was it costly in the monetary sense, as it cost billions, but I owed the Justice League big time for their help. Plus all the extra guys I needed help from like Doctor Doom and Constantine. Doctor Doom was already paid for. I got his mom’s soul back from Mephisto before we even began the fight. Mephisto tried to pay me after but he can lick my nutsack with how little I’d trust him.
Constantine wanted the corpse, or at the very least as much blood and body parts as he could get a hold of, which I agreed with. He pretty much single-handedly locked down Trigon for a few seconds with some help from Doctor Fate. Superman was just upset I killed him. What!? The literal fucking devil? That is on brand for the boy scout. Well, one of the devils anyway. Lucifer was still floating around. I’d have asked him for help but that would have been overkill.
You don’t put a god against another god unless you’re clear of the fighting because it would have gotten a lot more messy than the little damage we left behind. Ironman ran off with god killer, so I had to deal with that. I just hope he didn’t try shaving with it or something stupid. It was impossibly sharp and a tiny scratch would kill a mortal instantly, most likely fucking up his soul in the process.
Now, what did I get for killing him? If all the chi/mana and force I gathered was equal to a bucket… I just gained a lake. Not only that but I gained the power to turn it all into the plasma form of energy. Demigod physiology would not only increase my stats but raise the base stats up to the beginning of lower cosmic. It meant if I suddenly lost all my powers I would still be strong enough to take hits from the Hulk for a bit.
Virtual immortality meant for all intents and purposes I was immortal. It meant without someone hitting me with the strength of Superman for a while I would never die, even if I did nothing, stopped eating, went to the bottom of the sea, or into the middle of the son I wouldn’t die. Demonic energy manipulation was just that, it let me make and control demonic energy. It was what he made out of his divinity to use demonic magic.
All speak seemed simple but it was actually an amazing power. I was half tempted to kill Cipher to steal this power, now I didn’t need to. Divinity control would let me store and use divine energy. Even with the small amounts of people thinking about me, I could feel the power seeping into me. Soul manipulation would allow me to more easily control and use souls. It made using certain magics far, far easier.
I was half tempted to make a soul bomb to attack his divinity originally but changed my mind when I found out how many souls(people) I’d have to sacrifice to make a dent against him. It just wasn’t feasible with how little time I had. Size alteration was just that, it allowed me to readjust my size up to the size of divinity I had. The more divinity the bigger I could become, and I could also just make myself bigger but also weaker without divinity.
Cosmic awareness was another big power. If someone was causing damage to the universe I would be able to tell and help stop it before the universe unraveled. It also removed the plot armor restriction I was fighting against the entire time, the only reason I could wail on Trigon is because his plot armor was stripped by everyone else. It also lets the main character break the fourth wall… Like why is this author writing about powers instead of getting to the sex scenes already?
Fate shield would allow me to reduce the effects of fate and prophecies. If I was fated to die I could now avoid it somewhat, it wouldn’t be a guaranteed thing. Prophecy plays a huge part in what happens and many heroes were given powers through prophecy. It also let me bypass some belief-based invulnerability from other gods. If Superman had this power he could punch Trigon and actually cause damage before his divinity was heavily weakened from the very beginning.
Belief based invulnerability would make it so I could avoid taking any damage if I blocked the attack with my divine energy first. We needed to hammer through this in order to even start doing damage to Trigon. Only reality-warping blows could bypass it and only to a lesser degree.
Molecular reconstruction was the upgraded version of biomatter manipulation. It made it so I no longer needed to use biomatter and much less energy to rebuild anything I wanted. I could make nth metal with molecular reconstruction but it was costly and took divinity to do so… Turning my divinity into materials was probably what I was going to use it for honestly.
Realm based omnipotence allowed me to view everything in a realm I owned. I could also make a pocket dimension and begin expanding it with my divinity. Fourth stage mana creation was plasma. I could make mana/force plasma and give it away like the dragon did to Wu Ao-Shi. The final change was I felt like I could improve any of my powers through divinity, possibly even gain new powers or temporarily strengthen a power.
I was… So much stronger that it was ridiculous. If I wanted to I could go kill anyone in the universe without much in the form of repercussions now. The plot armor heroes and villains had wouldn’t be more than a speed bump if I really wanted to kill someone. Killing the Joker was always a goal but I couldn’t really do it until now because of his plot armor. Now it would be trivially easy to do so.
Ehh, if I see him or get bored and have some time to kill I’ll murder him, but I’m not going to go out of my way now. When the hundred first arrived the villains outnumbered the heroes about four to one. That number was now swapped to sixty percent heroes and forty percent villains. Most of the brutal/evil villains were killed as well leaving only bank robbers or people in it for the money now.
Still, I was happy with where I was right now. Soon I’d go back with the Mauraders and deal with that but for now, I was just going to chill after a long hard-fought fight. I could have died during that fight! Well, if I was weaker… Let him hit me even once and most of my contingencies didn’t work for some reason. I was a cockroach when it came to being murdered. If someone didn’t know what I was fully capable of would have a really, really hard time taking me down.
It would take something very similar to what I just did to Trigon, except I had an anti-anti teleport array around my body at all times so they’d have to make an anti-anti-anti teleport array to cancel it out. But then I had the anti-anti-anti-anti teleport array hidden inside my body on top of that. Was I being paranoid? Not when there are three literal Satan’s running around between the two universes.
If someone melted down the god killer sword and shot me I might still die, but who would do that? The chances of that happening are like forty quadrillion to one… To be safe I should make a spell to detect things that can bypass my invulnerability. Well, anyways… The next chapter will probably be a sex scene. Not sure if I’m going to keep breaking the fourth wall… Maybe sparingly to keep it fresh, don’t want to kill the joke like Deadpool does.
