Beyond the skies. Outside every world.
Tap.
Tap.
Keys clacked against a keyboard.
Flickers of light danced across a screen.
Then, suddenly—
The man's hands froze.
"Alright. Time to shake the multiverse with a little… countdown."
Max smiled faintly, then pressed the button to transmit.
In that instant, countless worlds became connected.
Ripples began to spread—rising higher and higher!
One Piece World
Marineford, Marine Headquarters.
"Report! Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Warlord Donquixote Doflamingo has answered the summons!"
"Report! Warlord Dracule Mihawk is already on his way!"
"Elite forces from all four seas are mobilizing as well!"
One after another, Marine intelligence officers rushed in with updates. The entire headquarters was a storm of activity.
All because of the war about to erupt—
The war against the King of the Seas, the strongest man alive. They would need every ounce of strength they had.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku!"
Lieutenant Commander Brannew, green-haired and frantic, burst in shouting so loud his voice cracked.
"What now? Why are you panicking?" Sengoku frowned, irritated.
"F-Fleet Admiral, l-look outside! Something unknown just appeared in the sky!"
"What?"
Sengoku strode out the door.
The moment his eyes rose to the heavens, he froze.
A massive screen of light hung in the sky.
A single feeling swallowed his heart whole: shock.
"What in the world is this?!"
The One Piece world trembled.
Naruto World
Konoha training grounds.
Yamato clapped his hands together.
The ground split open—rising into towering trees and waterfalls, a whole forest springing up before their eyes. Naruto gawked, his jaw hanging open.
Perfect timing.
Kakashi, the Copy Ninja, began explaining chakra nature transformation to Naruto.
But then—
All three of them—Naruto, Kakashi, and Yamato—suddenly froze and looked skyward.
"Kakashi-sensei… what is that?"
Naruto's voice was barely a whisper, full of awe.
The Naruto world shook.
Fairy Tail World
Fairy Tail Guild Hall.
"Whoa!"
"Hey, everyone look!"
"Something big's about to happen!"
Natsu, Happy, and Gray shouted excitedly.
"Is that… a magic projection? No, it's way too massive! Whose work could this be? The Council's?" Erza frowned, suspicious.
"What?! The Council?!" Master Makarov's face darkened instantly. "Natsu, what have you done this time?!"
"Grandpa, I'm innocent this time, I swear!!!"
Detective Conan World
Dr. Agasa's house.
"A projection that big… is some corporation unveiling a revolutionary new technology?" Conan muttered, eyes narrowing, his brain already racing through possibilities.
"Wrong again, great detective." Haibara Ai swiveled her laptop toward him, her tone cool. "This is already beyond corporations. It's a worldwide event."
The enormous light screen had taken over every online platform's front page. From every corner of the globe, people were sharing the phenomenon.
The Outcast World
"Now this… this is insane." Zhang Chulan wiped a bead of cold sweat from his forehead.
"What's that supposed to be, huh? Some kind of TV broadcast?" Feng Baobao blinked her wide, innocent eyes.
"Bao'er, this is serious. Get ready. The company's definitely going to contact us any second now." Zhang Chulan's voice was grim.
Super God World
"A screen spanning galaxies? Even my Eyes of Insight can't pierce it. Intriguing. Send the order—analyze every scrap of data we can get."
The Angel Queen, Holy Keisha, smiled faintly.
Elsewhere—
"Shit! What the hell is this? Get me the data before that bitch does!"
The Demon Queen, Morgana, cursed furiously, barking orders at her subordinates.
Ling Cage World
"Boss, boss! What's going on?!" The little girl Xia Dou's eyes sparkled with awe.
"Could this be the Lighthouse people's doing? What are they planning?" Shan Da muttered, wide-eyed.
"No." White-haired Bai Yue Kui shook her head firmly. "They don't have this kind of tech. Let's just watch. The truth… might be far beyond anything we imagine."
Scissor Seven World
Chicken Island.
"Da Bao! Xiao Fei! Come out—God himself is on TV!"
Assassin #17369 and self-proclaimed greatest hairdresser Ah Qi's jaw dropped in disbelief.
Fox Spirit Matchmaker World
"Daoist brother, what is that?" Little fox-girl Su Su blinked her big eyes curiously.
"Hahaha! That's my technique, of course!" Dongfang Yuechu struck a pose, hands on hips, smug.
"Wow, Daoist brother, you're amazing~!"
Gintama World
Odd Jobs Office.
"Wahhh! The world's ending! Kagura, Shinpachi—pack your stuff, we're skipping town!" Gintoki screamed, flailing around.
Dragon Ball, Pokémon, Seven Deadly Sins, Konosuba…
Across countless worlds, people stared, voices rising in shock and awe.
And then—on the giant screen, words began to appear.
There is no such thing as peace and quiet. It only exists because someone else bears the burden.
In the shadows where light cannot reach, heroes fight with their lives on the line.
Their glory must not be forgotten.
Top Ten Hidden Heroes Across the Multiverse—Now Begins!
