Both Titan and Isotope paled as they watched the surreal images unfold on the CCTV screen. But no matter how absurd it seemed, it was a reality.
Allen had no hurry or discretion when it came to capturing these guys, and it was all because he had neutralized Isotope's powers, knowing that in the future, it would be unpleasant to have him as an enemy.
"Ahhhh! Damn it!"
Mr. Liu yelled as soon as he saw his bodyguard "fall." No, what bothered him the most was Allen's attitude, which made it feel like this was all just a game to him. It was too brazen. Allen was able to go up to the top floor, but instead, he forced him to watch him pass floor by floor, playing with Titan's men as if they were just a bunch of dumb minions.
They were nothing...
They didn't qualify as his enemies...
They didn't pose a challenge...
Mr. Liu was the leader of the most powerful criminal organization in the world of Invincible, but he couldn't get his opponent to take him even remotely seriously. This drove Mr. Liu crazy, because he was someone who was used to getting what he wanted and having everyone obey him, not an ant that Allen could step on.
"ALLEN WALKER, YOU WILL PAY FOR THESE TWO HUMILIATIONS!!"
Mr. Liu roared, his voice deepening and then turning monstrous. Titan shielded himself with his rock-like skin, and Isotope retreated.
"I'VE RULED THE UNDERWORLD SINCE BEFORE YOU WERE BORN! I WILL NOT BE DESPISED BY YOU!"
A spiritual oriental dragon emerged from Mr. Liu's mouth and soon took on a physical form. Far from the weak appearance Mr. Liu had, he didn't dominate the underworld just through his influence and money; he had enough strength to pose a threat to Invincible. It's worth mentioning that Mr. Liu wasn't defeated by Invincible and Atom Eve in the main timeline.
So this dragon... you are strong!
"WAAAAALKEEEEER!" The dragon shot out from the top floor, breaking through the ceiling.
Titan watched Mr. Liu's real body lying there. Right now, putting a bullet in his head would be so easy it almost seemed like a joke.
"Boss, without Great Wall, the old man Mr. Liu is defenseless," Isotope said, thinking they should take advantage of the opportunity to get rid of the leader of the Order.
"Don't be foolish. Who will stop Walker if this old man disappears..."
Titan hated the Order. These guys came and ordered him to do things he didn't want to do, coming into his city acting like they were kings of the world, and of course, Titan wouldn't mind killing Mr. Liu. However, right now, there was a much greater danger.
...
Allen watched as the massive dragon approached him. A terrible murderous intent surrounded it, and its eyes reflected devastating rage.
"You remind me of that dragon I tore apart in Rome..." Allen's words were light and mocking.
Everything moved in slow motion as the dragon shattered the window and opened its jaws. His eyes remained a mixture of amusement and laziness. Allen smiled and adjusted the parameters to the maximum, then raised his gun before firing.
"ARGHH!!!"
The shot hit the dragon's open mouth, causing the dragon to bleed. However, the gun cracked and broke.
[Host, weapons have a balance. When adjusting the settings to the maximum, the durability of the weapon is drastically reduced.]
"Oh..." Allen didn't seem surprised. He noticed that the first gun didn't even use bullets and had a small independent screen with the number 100. At that moment, Allen realized it was either the bullets he had or the durability.
The dragon crashed through several walls in agony but soon recovered and attacked him. Allen looked at it sideways before moving his hand and pointing with two fingers toward the dragon. Two metal desks then attacked it. Of course, this didn't cause any damage and only annoyed it.
"YOU BASTARD!"
Allen jumped to the side, dodging the dragon's tail, which hit the ground with a destructive force. "Easy, little dragon... I'm not that strong right now..."
Allen's words, far from expressing weakness, made it clear that he wasn't taking this fight seriously—if you could even call it that.
Liu felt his organs boiling. Allen had a talent for making others angry with his mocking attitude. As for Liu, he was an extremely hot-tempered and arrogant person. It was easy to predict what kind of result would come from their clash.
Liu started to destroy the place in a manifestation of chaos. Allen, on the other hand, remained calm the entire time.
Allen looked in a certain direction with interest, he walked out of the room where the dragon was, into a hallway and walked until he entered a room.
"WAIT!"
The huge dragon followed him but couldn't turn in time and continued on down the hallway.
Allen saw a coffee maker and poured himself a cup. The wall behind him broke but Liu froze. How was it possible that this bastard was making coffee while being attacked?
"DON'T YOU DARE IGNORE ME!"
Allen didn't turn around, but two metal fragments attacked the dragon's eyes, making it lose control.
"GAHH!!"
"I'm not ignoring you, but you know, I haven't had breakfast, and I get cranky if I don't..."
Titan and Isotope, who could see this through the cameras, turned pale. The amount of disrespect Allen had just shown was enough to make even Buddha angry. It was one thing to be strong, brother, but was it really necessary to make waffles in the middle of a fight?
While the dragon writhed in pain, Allen was surprised because the quality and level of the food in this kitchen was excellent. It was easy to see that Titan treated his gangsters well.
Kara – I expected this result, but I still feel a little sorry for the dragon. Of course, my support is still with Allen.
MJ – Sorry? You wouldn't say that if you knew what a nasty old man he is. Allen, make his liver explode from rage!
Nanao – Is he really that nasty?
Gwen – I don't know, but he has an unhealthy obsession with Multi-Paul, Kate's brother.
Rick – In that case, we can expect a miserable death! Hahaha *Burp"
...
Allen turned as he stirred his coffee with a spoon. Meanwhile, the dragon couldn't attack because every time its eyes regenerated, another pair of metal objects precisely targeted it.
For years, Allen had been limited in some ways by traveling through many worlds and facing all kinds of enemies. One of the things he had learned during that time was to adapt to the limit of the power he had at the moment and to the weaknesses of his enemies.
Allen had his power reserved, so he could only face this situation with what he had. Of course, he could release his power and eliminate his enemy with ease, but he didn't see it as necessary.
While the Chat had an ironic look, a message appeared on the screen.
*[Hello everyone, I'm... it's hard to explain, but you already know me. From now on, I'll be explaining some things in the stream so that you all don't have to rely so much on the comments to understand what's happening.]
Some people frowned, like MJ, who was always a reliable source of information.
*[Of course, I appreciate the support from such knowledgeable people in the chat. However, you all can't be here all the time, and that's an inconvenience.]
MJ pursed her lips but knew it was true. Although she was around most of the time, she also had things to do. Only a few goddesses like Hestia and Aphrodite, who had zero responsibilities, could watch all the live streams.
The system didn't just create the Leveling System and Mission Fulfillment System; it also improved the Content Creation System. After reviewing it, the system realized it needed a "narrator" or "commentator" because, after all, Allen often had to focus on what he was doing and couldn't pay attention to the chat.
With that said, the system wanted to improve this...
...
Allen left the kitchen and walked down the hallway with his coffee. As he looked out the window.
*[Ahem, for many of you, it might seem like Allen is just messing around with the dragon, but keep in mind that Allen has the stamina of a human, so he must be exhausted right now!]
Allen yawned while Liu came out of the kitchen, still angrier than before. This made the viewers raise an eyebrow since he didn't look particularly tired, but lazy.
Allen pulled out the "punch gun," one of the "Abnormal" guns he had kept, aimed it at the dragon, and shot, landing a blow that sent the dragon flying out of the building.
"AHHHHH!"
Allen then turned around, entered an office, and sat on a sofa to enjoy his coffee. 2B appeared alongside Jalter, one offering him a tray of cookies while the other sat beside him, reluctantly trying to hug him.
...
Tony – Don't mess with me! I wish I could tire myself out like that!
Raven – Yeah... Allen is definitely recharging his energy *sarcasm*
*[Huh?... ahem, Allen has been stressed lately, and although it doesn't seem like it, his life is really complicated!]
...
Allen proceeded to smile at Jalter and whispered something in her ear. She blushed but didn't disobey, grabbed a cookie, and brought it to Allen's mouth. Before eating it, Allen smiled and took the chance to lightly bite Jalter's fingers. She turned bright red and tried to pull away, but Allen grabbed her by the waist and pulled her closer.
"Where are you going?"
"Ah! You bastard, this was all a trap!"
Jalter complained but didn't make much of an effort to escape. Allen blinked calmly, staring into Jalter's face, which was as red as a tomato, and then smiled.
"A trap? Since when do I need to deceive you to do this?" Allen grabbed Jalter's hand as she was distracted and brought it to his mouth, then lightly bit one of her fingers.
Then he went further and Allen brought his face close to Jalter's neck before giving the girl a gentle nibble.
"Anh~.... no!... you.... A !!" Jalter froze, unable to process what had just happened, and fainted, her eyes spinning.
"Ara Ara~ Allen-sama, that's not right hehehe~"
Kurumi left her invisible doll form and the beautiful girl appeared in her gothic dress in front of everyone, only to tease Jalter, but that was her mistake. Without receiving any orders, 2B leaned toward Allen, then picked up Jalter and disappeared.
Kurumi, the only one left behind, felt a bad premonition. Allen patted his own leg, and Kurumi, with a pale look, understood Allen's intentions. To avoid breaking her façade, she decided not to disobey and sat on Allen's lap.
"I'm glad you're understanding, I'm a very lonely guy, and if I don't have a pretty girl around, I get sad."
Kurumi cursed Allen a hundred different ways in her mind, but on the surface, she laughed coquettishly. "Ufufufu~" and proceeded to feed Allen while suffering the same fate as Jalter.
...
McDragon – Don't mess with me! Stressed? Complicated life?! He's the luckiest bastard in the multiverse!!
Thor – I'll never envy my friend, but I'm a little irritated!
Ivy – As expected from Director Walker, he becomes more and more uninhibited in his shameless actions *jealousy*
Unohana – *Sighs* I wonder if it is possible to become a doll.; I've always felt envious of those girls who can to stay with him all the time…
Gwen – Big Sis, didn't you say Allen was in a bad emotional state? Doesn't seem like it to me…
*[Wait... no, it's not like that! There's an explanation!]
As expected, Allen was such a random yet dominant person that in the middle of a death battle against a dragon, he decided to play with his maids. This was something even his system couldn't predict. She cursed Allen in her heart, as it was her first time as the Narrator/Commentator, and Allen was ruining it.
Starfire – Big Sister, can I ask you something?
*[Hm? Oh, sure!]
Starfire – If Allen's power is restricted right now, how can he dodge that dragon so well?
When the system heard the question, it calmed down and became serious.
*[In short, "experience." But it's very complex... To Allen, the world looks different, and this isn't due to power or abilities… when the dragon appeared, Allen noticed several things: it was too large and heavy to be agile, so he could easily predict its movements by observing how the dragon's spine moved. He also realized that the dragon was very temperamental; just a couple of phrases would make it completely predictable. Allen also noticed that the dragon had short arms and used this weakness to attack its eyes without it being able to defend itself… as I said before, Allen has a lot of experience in this area, and of course, unless the power difference is massive, it's no obstacle for him to humiliate his opponent.]
Starfire and ninety percent of the chat were astonished. They thought Allen was just playing around, but he had everything under control.
Starfire's eyes lit up as she looked at the screen, "So Allen's flirting with Kurumi has a very deep objective or plan?!"
[No, he's just a womanizer -_-]
"Huh?"
[Also, he didn't do it thinking about the most efficient way to defeat the dragon. He did it simply because he was too lazy to fight it… and maybe wanted to annoy it -_- Allen is a certified motherfucker, don't forget that…]
Starfire and the chat were left stunned, then got annoyed. For a second, they all admired Allen for being so incredible, but then they regretted it because, no matter how incredible he was, he was an son of a bitch who didn't deserve admiration.
...
...
...
'Sis?'
[I'm sorry... I did the best I could…]
Allen smiled and shook his head. He glanced at the chat but didn't stop it or interrupt, leaving control to system as part of his trust in her. But apparently, she failed on her first try.
Allen lifted Kurumi's chin and made her look at him closely. She blushed, and Allen had always liked Kurumi. She might be a little crazy and dangerous, but inevitably, she was a charming girl.
"Can I kiss you?"
Despite his question, Allen kissed her lightly on the lips. She was stunned for a moment before biting Allen's lip, and since Allen didn't have much power at that moment, she managed to make him bleed.
"Do you want to die?!" Kurumi glared at Allen with hate and shame.
"..." Allen wasn't scared. Instead, he sighed, grabbed a lock of Kurumi's hair, and smelled her fragrance. Allen smiled slightly, exuding the charm of a bad boy yet still elegant, "Honestly, I don't know why you like weak and innocent guys, but I'll definitely make you change your mind..."
*Bah Dum*
When Allen finished speaking, she tried to escape but realized she was being held tightly by Allen's arms at her waist. She could feel the intense male warmth and the scent of a young selfish man with confidence. She felt weak, and honestly, part of her didn't want to leave his arms, but she pushed him away and disappeared.
Kurumi vanished, leaving no one but Allen to see her last expression filled with innocent embarrassment.
'Don't worry, Big Sister, no one does it right the first time, plus it's partly my fault for being so lenient.'
[Allen... thank you, I'll do my best!]
Allen stood up from the couch, knowing the games were over. Suddenly, everything around him changed. He was in a large room with elegant furniture, and in front of him was a vault.
"I see..."
This was the mental image he had seen recently representing his stored power.
The vault slowly opened while Allen felt the breeze coming from inside. When it opened completely, it wasn't a regular vault—it looked like a long hallway with many pillars aligned, serving as displays for gemstones of various colors that shone above them.
Allen walked with interest, knowing this was all his power…
The Chat was in awe. What were they seeing? Wasn't this supposed to be Chicago?
*[Ahem, what you're all seeing is a spiritual representation of Allen's soul. That's where his power is. The reason we're showing this is for you, the people who have always been with him and grown alongside Allen.]
The system softened her words as she spoke, reaching everyone in the Chat one way or another.
Allen stopped in front of a beige gemstone that intensified its glow when it felt Allen approaching. When he touched it, many images appeared around him. Allen smiled and absorbed the light.
He was a Creator of Entertainment, so even the release of his power must have been a great show.
...
In the real world, time stopped for a brief moment when Allen closed his eyes and then opened them again.
In the middle of the building, Allen looked toward the large hole left by the dragon, better known as Mr. Liu, before he was blasted away. He stared for a moment before walking in that direction. There was no rush, no worry; however, his steps were firm and clear, echoing loudly.
Something had changed, and Titan could feel it in his skin as he covered himself in granite as if trying to defend himself from an invisible threat. Allen walked slowly, maintaining a calm expression, but... it was no longer lazy.
*[Yeah... Allen isn't taking his opponent seriously... Is it arrogance? Is it laziness? Is it out of consideration for the viewers, so as not to end the stream so soon?]
Allen silently reached the edge of the building, looking out toward the city of Chicago, which was calm since Cecil Stedman had cleared the area some time ago. The dragon roared in the distance, causing windows to shatter around him. Then, it glared at Allen, standing orderly in his trench coat.
*[Allen Walker had been through an enormous amount of difficulties, so many that he seemed immune to facing any enemy... however, it wasn't the case; Allen still felt caution, fear, anger, etc. Yet, he had managed to keep all that under control.]
There was something different in the stream that made the viewers unable to look away. The woman's voice was calm, and she had an understanding of Allen so absolute that not even Gwen or Natasha would dare say they knew him better.
*[My dear... His physique... his raw power... his flesh... his bones... his blood... his whole body... had changed.]
Name: Allen Walker
Physical Level: 3 (???? > ************...)
Superpower Level: 3 (????)
Ki Level: 1 (????)
Level....
The terrifying Dragon attacked Allen with enough force to shatter mountains. The minimum power required to be the ruler of the underworld in Invincible. This overwhelming power rushed in with obvious intent, and just as it was about to arrive, the dragon opened its mouth with teeth capable of shredding a Viltrumite's body, much like what happened when Invincible was bitten.
"YOU WILL DIE, ALLEN WALKER!!!"
The jaw closed like a deadly divine god-crushing press...
*[Allen Walker had changed... at first, his body was no different from an ordinary human, but that changed with his first evolution, assisted by my... he grew stronger, eventually becoming a superhuman, but that was just the beginning...]
Liu felt confused, for instead of tasting blood, after hearing pleas and screams, he felt a cold emptiness, as though he had lost something. As he saw what was happening, his body froze, and his shattered teeth floated around him while Allen remained calm and showed no signs of having moved.
*[His body had been toughened through battles against beings of infinite strength. His body had endured attacks capable of shattering planets and stars. His body had withstood the void, the darkness, the collapse of a dimension, fragments of chaotic space itself. He had been hit by forces of both good and evil. He had been burned by the heat of the sun's core. He had taken blows capable of splitting an entire galaxy, or even the universe... he endured it all with his body…]
People collectively swallowed, realizing that they had never fully considered everything Allen had been through.
"WHAT?!"
The dragon's temperature dropped.. He felt as though he was emerging from a rebirth. What was he thinking when he faced Allen? Did he actually think he could win?
The Dragon no longer felt confident or powerful, it was all illusion from start to finish, there was never the slightest chance that he would win.
Allen clenched his fist. "Don't feel bad; sometimes I get in a bad mood, too."
"WAI–"
With a single strike, Liu's body was disintegrated. The sky opened up, and the atmosphere parted, filling the sky with the image of space and the stars.
*[This is just Allen Walker's true physical level...]
"Maybe I went a little too far..." said Allen, gazing at the sky.
