Kaito took in his hands the most powerful Miraculous: Ladybug's earrings and Cat Noir's ring, symbols of creation and destruction. A smile appeared on his face.
Although at first he doubted Ladybug would surrender so easily, she took off the earrings herself and handed them over. Of course, it wasn't that she trusted him… she trusted the result of her Lucky Charm. Faced with the defeat of all her teammates, surrendering peacefully was her only option.
Before making use of the main Miraculous, Kaito took Max's Miraculous and transformed. His only goal was to use its teleportation power to send the heroes back to Paris. After all, once their powers disappeared, they'd have no way to return.
The taste of such a convenient ability as teleportation was tempting; for a moment, Kaito even considered keeping the rest of the Miraculous. However, he knew he wouldn't be able to take them out of that world, so he looked away from them and focused all his attention on the Miraculous he held.
He put on Ladybug's earrings and Cat Noir's ring. In that instant, Tikki and Plagg appeared before him.
The moment they manifested, both kwamis began to question him.
"Who are you? You don't belong to this reality, do you?" "What is your goal?"
Kaito ignored them completely. Instead, he spoke firmly,
"Tikki, Plagg… reveal your true forms."
As if those words were an absolute command, the kwamis began to transform. Their bodies expanded, taking on majestic humanoid forms, with several arms and large wings. In front of Kaito stood imposing figures.
Then, Kaito spoke again,
"Tikki, Plagg… by the power of creation and destruction, unify."
The kwamis obeyed. Before him appeared an even more colossal and solemn being than before.
"I am Gimmi, kwami of reality. Tell me, what is your wish?"
The being introduced itself with a deep voice.
At that moment, beside Kaito, Bunnyx appeared.
"Did you come to say goodbye?" Kaito asked, with a slightly teasing tone.
But Bunnyx looked at him seriously.
"Are you sure you can save this world afterward?"
Kaito shrugged.
"Of course. Don't worry."
After thinking for a moment, he asked,
"Can't you use this wish to get rid of those creatures?"
Bunnyx shook her head gently.
"We already tried before. It can eliminate the weaker creatures, but there are others so powerful they can destroy entire realities effortlessly. Gimmi doesn't have enough power against them."
"I see…" Kaito sighed.
"Even so, I promise I'll save this world, so don't worry," he added, trying to reassure her.
Bunnyx simply nodded silently.
Kaito turned his gaze back to the being before him.
"Gimmi. My wish is to remove all superpowers from this world(...)."
In a matter of seconds, the wish was granted: all powers disappeared, including Kaito's. Thus ended the era of so-called superheroes.
The only exception was Bunnyx, who still had her powers intact. Kaito didn't know how paradoxes and time travel worked in that world, or if they were different from others, but he decided not to risk it and left her as she was.
At that very moment, in front of Kaito, and also before all the Lords scattered throughout that world, a message appeared:
[Lord Lucifer has just eliminated all superheroes in this reality. Because of this, the mission will be ended immediately and your score will be calculated based on your progress so far.]
[00:10]
The other Lords barely had time to process what was happening before the timer reached zero.
Kaito looked at Bunnyx, gave her one last smile, and disappeared.
---
Just like the last time, Kaito reappeared in his territory, only this time directly seated on his throne.
First of all, he checked his notifications.
[Congratulations. You have completed the mission of floor 2: Miraculous World]
[The mission completion rate is 100%. Because of this, your score is SSS]
[Rewards: • Amulet of Creation • Amulet of Destruction • Amulet of Illusion • Amulet of Protection • Amulet of Submission • Skill: Calm Mind • Portal • 10,000 extraction points]
Before checking each reward, Kaito did something more urgent: ever since leaving the Miraculous world, he noticed his control over his powers felt clumsier and more chaotic. It seemed he had lost practice. The experience was still in his mind; he just needed to relearn it, but since he had extraction points, there was no reason to wait.
He spent 2,500 extraction points to return his body to the state it was in before leaving the Miraculous world, thus regaining his experience and control over his speed abilities.
Now feeling more confident, he began to calmly read the description of his new rewards.
---
[Amulet of Creation] Creates an object that exists in your imagination or memories. It must be something theoretically possible and cannot exceed a specific power level. Single use.
[Amulet of Destruction] Completely destroys an object or its effects, ignoring level, defense, distance, and any obstacle. Single use.
[Amulet of Illusion] Traps the target in an illusion generated inside their mind. They can only escape by fighting against it. Immune to external interference. The number of uses depends on the target.
[Amulet of Protection] Creates a shield covering your entire territory. Easily withstands attacks up to level 100 and can endure some up to level 500. Single use.
[Amulet of Submission] Makes it 50% easier to increase your subordinates' loyalty and 50% harder for it to decrease. Infinite use as long as it isn't destroyed.
[Skill: Calm Mind] Thanks to the power of the pig Miraculous and its relation to desire or hope, this skill was created. Keeps your mind calm even under extreme pressure. Immune to mental attacks or intrusions from enemies up to 100 levels higher.
[Portal] Created using the concept of the horse Miraculous. Opens a spatial door between two points in different universes, allowing instant travel between them. Cannot be used between two points in the same world, and one of the worlds cannot be Earth. Requires a very powerful energy source to remain open.

For a moment, Kaito felt like jumping for joy. But in that instant, his mind became completely calm. He was still excited, yes, but his thoughts didn't get swept away by euphoria.
"So this is the effect of 'Calm Mind'… impressive" he whispered.
In front of him were the five amulets, the size of large coins, with an animal engraved on one side and Chinese characters on the other. Just by holding them, he instinctively understood how to use them.
The first thing he did was activate the Amulet of Protection. As if tossing a coin, he threw it into the air; it spun several times until it reached its peak, and in that instant, it emitted a green light. Around his entire territory appeared a green dome with octagonal patterns, resembling a turtle shell.
He stored the Amulet of Destruction and the Amulet of Illusion carefully in his inventory: they'd be more useful as weapons for the future.
The Amulet of Submission, on the other hand, he decided to equip. All it took was to put it into the top right pocket of his suit; as an equipped item, it wouldn't fall or disappear unless he removed it himself.
