Chapter 96: The Alliance of the Two Overlords of Dimension
Part I: The Alliance of the Monster Lord and the True Dragon
In a realm no longer bound by the usual barriers of time, a catastrophic alignment between dimensions is taking place. Rimuru Tempest, a wise and unrivaled monster lord, has conquered the vast Great Jura Forest and expanded his power into a majestic federation—the Jura Tempest Federation. However, the peace he has established is not the result of his own efforts. This tranquility is thanks to the presence of a legendary figure: Elvira, the True Dragon. It is Elvira's absolute loyalty that anchors Rimuru's soul and existence in this world.
One day, in a majestic and magical clearing within the grounds of the Dragon God and Monster Academy, the atmosphere was thick. Ripples of interdimensional energy crackled in the air. Long shadows of Demons, Angels, Fallen Gods, and even Primordial Dragons flickered across the ground, creating a mystical, eerie aura.
Rimuru Tempest stared at his palms. He felt a strange, divine vibration creeping up within him. "This place... it feels as if thousands of different dimensions have merged into one. The magical particles around us are simply beyond comprehension," he murmured in amazement.
In the next instant, a dazzling beam of emerald light condensed before him. From within the glow, stepped a woman of extraordinary majesty. She was Elvira, the True Dragon. Her eyes shone with the absolute authority she had wielded for centuries.
"Greetings, Rimuru Tempest. I am Elvira, the True Dragon who watches over and guards this forest," she greeted in a voice that shook the very soul.
Rimuru bowed slightly, showing respect but maintaining his vigilance. "Greetings, Elvira. It is a blessing to be in your presence. However, could you tell me... what is truly happening to the structure of this world?"
Elvira took a deep breath. Her gaze shifted to the horizon, which seemed turbulent and full of turbulence. "This world is currently ruled by seven absolute rulers—the Three Great Kings and the Four Sovereigns of the Sea. They hold the blueprints of the destiny of mortality in their hands."
"Do those seven rulers possess such overwhelming power?" Rimuru asked curiously.
"Before the seven continents were forcibly united by the great megathrust earthquake, their uncontrollable magic shook all of reality," Elvira explained solemnly. "However, after the dawn of the Era of the Six Gods—Nika, Gaia, Alaya, Gotia, Ainz, and Kaguya—their power became greatly fragmented. And you, Rimuru, stand amidst these divine anomalies. On this journey towards True Eternity, I hope you will strive to cultivate absolute peace and justice."
Rimuru smiled broadly. A fire of determination suddenly lit up in his eyes. "Together... we become one. If the gods themselves must act as guardians, then I will gladly reshape the course of this world."
Part II: The Overlord's Shadow and the Five Children of Destiny
Suddenly, the sky turned a terrifying pitch black. Blood-red lightning struck the earth, ripping apart the sky. The dimensional barrier shattered completely, revealing two cosmic forces stepping onto the battlefield. On one side stood Ophis, the Infinite Dragon God, surrounded by a dense protective aura. On the other, a cold and deadly presence emerged—Ainz Ooal Gown, the Lord of Death.
"The balance has collapsed. The very fabric of the Seven Realms is being torn apart. The God of Space is preparing to descend, and the system is initiating the coming of the apocalypse," Ophis declared, her voice echoing through the dimensions.
Ainz Ooal Gown raised his mighty staff, his eyes glowing red with ancient authority. "Let those lowly beings tremble. This multiverse is no longer a sanctuary; it has become a chessboard. Whether they are gods, heroes, or monsters, they are merely pawns in a game we control."
From the shadows of the dimensional rift, five destiny-changing figures slowly emerged. Their souls pulsed in sync with the power of the ancient gods. They were Muhammad Ridho Roby Wijaya (the incarnation of Yhwach, 'The Almighty'), Anissa Maharani (the incarnation of the goddess Athena, also known as Tatsumaki), Darman (the incarnation of the god Hades), Eka Saputri (the incarnation of the goddess Kadita, also known as Fubuki), and Kagome Higurashi (the incarnation of Amaterasu).
Anissa glared at Ainz, her green psychic aura flaring fiercely as her eyes narrowed. "I don't
"Who cares about your stupid cosmic games, you skull-faced bastard? I am the standard of absolute power in this class, and no one can dictate my destiny!"
Ridho Roby exhaled a puff of cigarette smoke from his mouth, seemingly unfazed by the divine pressure that was pressing down on the place. "Stop your long speech, Anissa. It's so annoying. The future has already been written, and I've already seen how this conversation will end."
Darman, with a possessive gaze filled with dark obsession, stared at Anissa unblinkingly. "You will never escape the underworld, Athena. The thread of your destiny belongs to me."
Eka immediately stepped forward, positioning herself between Darman and Anissa as her dark water aura surged. "Get your hands off her, Darman. I won't let your dark obsession destroy this family again."
Part III: Pirate Storm, the God of Time, and a Historical Flashback
The story quickly shifts to the roaring East Pacific in 1512 AD—the Golden Age of Pirates. The Straw Hat Pirates, along with Portgas D. Ace, break through the dimensional wall. Their ship drifts before finally docking at the ancient port of Kyoto.
"Shishishi! This island reeks of mystery! I will find true freedom here!" Monkey D. Luffy exclaims as he jumps onto the pier and stretches his arms.
"Stay alert, Luffy. "This place isn't the same as the Grand Line," Portgas D. Ace said, adjusting his orange hat, small flames dancing on his fingertips. "Look over there—the Hidden Stone Village near Jusenkyo exudes a powerful demonic aura."
Instantly, the sky above them shattered like glass struck by a hammer. The majestic and terrifying figure of Cronos, the Great God of Time, manifested himself above the atmosphere. He wore golden armor and a glittering diamond crown. Beside him stood Kaguya, the Moon Goddess, her third eye wide open.
"Behold them, Kaguya. Mortals crawl, demons quarrel, and dragons roar. They fight over this tiny corner of the universe with their limited knowledge," Cronos said, his booming voice instantly slowing the ticking of time in the reality around them.
Kaguya bowed gracefully. "Your Majesty, the 'Almighty A' has made his presence known. The reincarnation of Yhwach once again walks upon the earth. What are your orders?"
Cronos smiled coldly as he raised a hand in the air. "Let them slaughter each other for the Empty Throne of Heroes. Let the true immortals, the Overlords, and the Pirate Kings bleed. We will cast them all into the Land of the Fallen within the Dark Continent. Only when the smoke of battle has cleared will they realize who the one true God in this world is.
Part IV: Fragments of the Nusantara Universe Timeline
Far away on another side of the world and in a different timeline, the history of this multiverse has been etched into intricate pages:
1990 AD – Fiore, Andalusia:
A grand event called the Grand Magic Games was held to select talented magicians from all over Europe. The Fairy Welkin Magic School—once a legendary guild founded by Mavis Vermilion on the Isgard Continent—is now a mere memory. Ten thousand years ago, their world was devastated by an attack by immortals from beyond the starry sky. Ophis and the founders of Fairytail were eventually stranded on the Nusantara Earth in 10,000 BC.
1350 AD – Age of the Gods:
The world was still filled with direct interaction between Gods and Primordial Beings. Until early 800 BC, a legendary man named Joy Boy and his entire pirate crew attempted to do the same. It was impossible: forcing the Gods to their knees. As a result of this conflict, the Gods eventually fled and relocated to a new continent on the other side of the globe—a land inhabited by red-skinned people, the Aztecs. In another dark and sultry corner of the world stood a magnificent ten-story palace known as the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
Meanwhile, in the Land of Shinobi, its territory was divided into five great nations: the Land of Fire with its Fire Kingdom, which once housed the Hidden Leaf Village; the Land of Water with its Water Tribes; the Air Nomads of the Wind Plains; and the Earth Lords with their Earth Kingdom. In this world, there lived the Avatar—the conqueror of the four elements (Water, Earth, Air, and Fire) who acted as the supreme being who maintained balance.
Part V: The Hunter Exam and Life in Jakarta
Time continued to fly. After completing her vacation in Indonesia, Anissa prepared to return to school in Japan. Meanwhile, Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates were stranded in another region, taking the Hunter Exam in search of money.
"
"With this license, maybe we can earn money more easily," Nami said hopefully, counting the brochures.
Luffy laughed, "It's not good for our mental health to be too easy, Nami!"
"Mental weakness is definitely not a trait of pirates like us," Zoro replied nonchalantly.
On a location called Orus Island—a mysterious island about the size of Samosir Island in the middle of Lake Toba—hundreds of participants had gathered. The island was filled with mythological beasts like Gryphons, Dragons, Arcone Birds, and Garuda Birds.
"Welcome, participants. I am the examiner for this year's first Hunter Exam. My name is Mashihara Shinosuke. The 385th Hunter Exam has officially begun!" "For those who have received bib numbers, you can follow me to the end of the exam," the examiner called out.
Luffy (number 380), Nami (number 381), Sanji (number 379), Zoro (number 382), Chopper (number 378), and Haku (number 383) began running, following Mashihara from behind. In the other line of participants, they also passed Gon (number 405), Kurapika (number 404), and Leorio (number 403), who each had their own goals.
Part VI: The Fate of Nerima, the Curse of Jusenkyo, and the Promise of the Earth Kingdom
1999 AD – Nerima Prefecture, Tokyo:
One year has passed since Ranma Saotome journeyed to the Chinese Plains. After undergoing rigorous training that ended in disaster at the cursed spring of Jusenkyo, Ranma (15), Ryoga (16), and his father, Genma Saotome (36), finally Back in Japan, they arrived at the home of Genma's old friends, the Soun Tendo family.
At the Tendo family gate, Kasumi came out after hearing the doorbell. Ting tong!
"Excuse me, Miss," a voice called out. However, when Kasumi opened the door, she found a girl with two braids and a large panda carrying a wooden board.
"Yes, how may I help you?" Kasumi asked kindly.
"Is this really the Soun Tendo family home?" the girl asked.
Soun Tendo, hearing the commotion, immediately came out. "Oh, they've come to see Genma and his son, Ranma! But... Akane, why are there only a girl and a panda in front of the house?" Soun asked, confused.
The girl scratched the back of her head, uncomfortably. "Sorry, Uncle... I got lost on my way home. My name is Ranma Saotome, and this is my father, Genma Saotome."
The panda quickly wrote calligraphy on his board: Hello everyone, I'm Genma. We'll talk later.
Soun was shocked, "Oh no! I thought you were a boy, Ranma! But okay, please come in and make yourself at home."
Meanwhile, far away in the China Plains, specifically in the Hoa San Mountains surrounding the Jusenkyo hot spring valley, several elders were gathered with tense expressions. "How could this happen? "The Demon Lady has revived after 1,300 years since the Great War," said a short man leaning on his cane.
"I don't know either, Genbu," Cologne replied with a deep gaze. "We originally tasked you with finding the young man who was cursed by the spring water so he wouldn't cause trouble with the Oni and Demons of various mythologies, like that woman and her partner 3,000 years ago."
"Yes, after all, that young man has business with my granddaughter and Onoki's granddaughter," Cologne added. "On the other hand, Dohko is still faithfully awaiting the revival of the beaded vessel of the Spirit of the God of Death, Hades."
In a silent hidden dimension, a young man named Mamoru sat on a large rock, gazing up at the clouds. His head felt incredibly dizzy. His vague memories brought back a projection of the past.
"Serenity... why did you leave me?" Mamoru whispered softly in his hallucination.
A projection of a girl's voice echoed in his mind, "Forgive me, Mamoru. I must return to the Moon Palace." The Otsutsuki Clan is currently at war because a foreign nation has attacked the Moon Palace. As Queen, I must fight alongside my people.
"I can help you..." Mamoru replied.
"No, Mamoru. You are still very much needed on Earth as the crown prince of the Earth Kingdom—one of the five kingdoms that maintain peace in this world."
"If I could go back, would you look for me?"
"Yes, I will. Even if I have to wait a thousand years, I will still look for you, Serenity..."
Mamoru gasped and held his throbbing head. "Ugh, my head hurts so much..." In the real world, in the year 2000, Mamoru is now a final-year student at a university in Tokyo, trying to catch up on the year he missed due to an accident that robbed him of his memory.
"Mamoru, wait!" cried Usagi Tsukino, a blonde-haired girl with twintails who was his English classmate, trying to catch up with him in the corridors of University 12. "Sorry, Usagi, I have class this morning. "Let's go to the cafeteria after this," Mamoru replied, calming the cheerful girl.
Meanwhile, at the Santuari Temple on the evening of the 3rd
In August 2000, the entire temple complex suddenly emitted a brilliant glow, resonating with the other 12 Golden Temples. The Patriarch looked up into the pitch-black night sky.
"It seems the Heavenly Golden Dragon has arrived. With only four remaining Heavenly Dragons in the universe, the war between good and evil is about to erupt," the Patriarch whispered anxiously. "Hurry, Gold Saints! Find Athena before the decisive day arrives!"
Meanwhile, in downtown Jakarta, Indonesia, the hustle and bustle of human activity never ceased. Although the human population had decreased due to a deadly virus some time ago, their hopes had never been dashed. Anissa Maharani was seen strolling through a luxury mall in Jakarta. She was using the remaining 23 days of her vacation before the new school year in Japan to shop for bags and groceries, preparing for her upcoming vacation to the interior of Kalimantan.
Part VII: Time Distortion in Java and the Heirloom Spear
Back in time, in 1353 AD, great voyages were underway by various nations from Gujarat, Persia, Yunnan, and Andalusia in search of black pearls. On the island of Java, a fleet from Yunnan sailed to the South China Sea and landed at the ports of Tuban and Lumajang, which were under the control of the Majapahit Empire. Majapahit was at the peak of its power, successfully uniting thousands of kingdoms across the archipelago through a system of free trade and strong trading alliances. Meanwhile, in the western part of Java, the Pajajaran Kingdom stood peacefully under the just and wise leadership of King Siliwangi.
Suddenly, a dimensional portal opened in Pancurugan Village, Galuh Pakuan. Four figures stepped out of the portal: Shita, Ayu, Saina, and Ryoga.
"Where are we now?" Ryoga asked, looking around the lush forest.
"You're in my homeland, exactly 700 years before I was born," Ayu replied nostalgically.
Saina frowned, "Why were we thrown here?"
"We're here to find Athena, but it seems our coordinates are off. We're lost 400 years before Athena's incarnation was born. According to records, Athena's third incarnation after the holy war would not be born until around the end of 1700 AD," Saina explained. "Let's check the surrounding area; I think there's a strong energy nearby."
The time jump back to 1357 AD, revealing one of Java's bloodiest tragedies: the Battle of Bubat. The scene was horrific: bodies strewn about and heads decapitated. In the middle of the battlefield, an incredibly fierce battle ensued between 300 hand-picked Majapahit soldiers and 50 royal guards led by the King of Pajajaran. Despite being outnumbered, the 50 soldiers fought as if possessed to the death.
Dyah Pitaloka Citraresmi knelt beside her fallen father's body. "It's better to die honorably on this battlefield than to become a kidnapped woman who loses her dignity," the princess said with determination before performing her martial arts.
From behind the veil of dimension, the time travelers watched the tragedy with sorrow. They witnessed the sacrifice of a king for his people, the steadfastness of a princess for her homeland, and the dilemma of the Great Prime Minister Gajah Mada, who chose to be branded a traitor to the king's orders in order to fulfill the Palapa Oath to unite the entire archipelago. That day marked the day the Prime Minister vanished into the realm of nirvana, leaving behind the bloodiest victory in Majapahit history. From there, they learned that the past exists so that humans can learn to respect the differences in perspectives and customs of each region.
The timeline rewinds to 2014. In an intervening dimension, the existence of Athena's last incarnation prepares for the approaching storm.
"It seems we have a visitor," said a mysterious voice, echoing.
A majestic entity appeared before them. "Queen of the South, Goddess Nawang Wulan, and Dragon of the West... You are an anomaly, a mistake that should not be in this place!"
Goddess Nawang Wulan smiled serenely, "I apologize if our presence disturbs your peace. We will soon return to where we came from. But before that, take this."
From nothingness, a powerful sacred weapon manifested: a seven-pronged trident radiating a sacred aura—the Tulung Agung Sacred Spear. Saina tried to step forward to grab the spear, but the immense pressure of its energy knocked her back. Seeing this, Ryoga, with his incredible physical endurance, stepped forward, gritted his teeth, and managed to grab the handle of the sacred spear.
said.
"Thank you for entrusting us with this heirloom weapon," Ryoga said breathlessly.
"Give my regards to Kadita," said Dewi Nawang Wulan before slowly fading away with the light.
"As you command, Dewi," replied Saina respectfully.
Among the Nine Magic Queens who ruled the Nusantara archipelago, Kadita, as ruler of the South Sea, was the most respected leader. She represented the mystical factions of Nusantara on the international stage. And now, within her magnificent underwater palace, Kadita was preparing to receive a diplomatic visit from the gods of another world: the Dragon King of the Far East, Yulong, the Egyptian God of Death, Anubis, and the ancient Earth God of Mesopotamia.
This grand gathering signaled that supernatural factions across the continents were now beginning to set their sights on a common center: the Great Land of Nusantara.
