*General POV*
Not much time has passed since the world was split into four main religions, and honestly… I already want to retire from being the General POV.
Seriously, I've seen so much chaos that not even I can understand half of the reasons behind it, It's just… shit!
How the hell is it possible that NO ONE in this miserable existence has figured out who the actual protagonist is!? Like, come on! It's one thing to ignore an entire universe and another to ignore whatever the hell is happening here!
I mean, fuck, how is it possible that no one has noticed that practically half of all life on Earth was created by Emily because of the protagonist!?
How has no one questioned how Thanos somehow recruited a literal God of War to work under him!?(Translator: *Kratos has joined the server* 🚬)
And not just that, HOW is it possible that under the existencial of The One Above All, nobody has questioned why the five fundamental aspects of the universe are on the verge of disappearing!?
Or better yet, why the hell has no one wondered how an entire species of anthropomorphic animals is now on the brink of conquering the fucking universe!? (Translator: goddamn furries 🖕)
Ignorance has limits… but apparently this universe doesn't! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Writer: … Okay… I think I went too far ahead… Whatever, I can always add the missing context in later chapters without him noticing.
*Deep sigh* .… Forget it, no point torturing myself... Let whatever happens happen, I… I'll just keep working.
*Another long sigh*.... After the world was divided by the four churches, in what was recorded as "The Last Battle of Faith", a new hierarchy was formed among them.
A hierarchy, of course, led by Escanor, because yes… the bastard who STARTED the whole HOLY fuck-up of a war actually won (Translator: all of you vs me alone.jpg 😎)
So yeah, officially Escanor's religion is now the strongest, renamed by Tony Stark as "The Church of the Golden Sun" because Escanor refused to abandon his church after all the destruction HE caused.
What the hell is wrong with THIS Escanor!?.... *Sigh* Never mind, let's move on.
His church wasn't the only one renamed after the so-called holy war, if you can even call that massacre a "war."
Because honestly… you don't understand, Do you know how many lives were erased forever?, How many souls were obliterated?, How many families were forced to bury empty coffins because of Escanor?
And the luckiest ones, if you can call them lucky, at least received a handful of ashes.
The poorest didn't even get a coffin, They were given a single empty monument, called "The Monolith of the Forgotten Men" because the results were so obscene.
It was so disastrous, so brutal, so cold-blooded that Escanor's church is the most powerful… but it has almost no followers left.
The only follower still in the church is the Egyptian Pharaoh, and even he is starting to doubt his faith after witnessing Escanor's unnecessary genocide.
Not that Escanor cares... He never has, he only cares about one thing, making it clear that the only thing above him… is the Sun.
And the bastard is probably happy, after all, with that genocide, no one in the entire damn world will dare claim anyone stands above him or the Sun.
And Tony? Oh please, that lunatic obsessed with resurrecting the "Emperor of Mankind" is even happier than Escanor.
Because Escanor finally reached Sequence 1 of his pathway and told Tony where to find one of the adjacent pathways, just one, though.
Specifically, the one belonging to Gol D. Roger, who, shockingly to none one, just completed his "One Piece" after receiving the final Infinity Stone.
Because yes, Roger collected all the Infinity Stones after Yuno gave him the Time Stone.
Why? "I don't need useless things" she said.
Which… coming from that insane yandere, actually makes sense, the Time Stone is nothing compared to a Sequence 1 of the White Tower pathway.
Anyway, moving on.... The hierarchy of the churches now stands as follows:
First is the "Church of the Golden Sun" led by Escanor, second is the "Church of the Two Mothers" led by Emily and Star, third is the "Kamar-Taj" led by Yuno, and fourth is the "Imperial Truth" led by Tony
Oh, yes, Tony Stark actually made his own "religion", though it's not really a religion, just the same Imperial Truth the Emperor created before the Great Crusade.
You know… that thing that never worked for shit and was the first thing the Ecclesiarchy destroyed after the Emperor was nailed onto the Golden Throne.
Obviously, Tony is the only member of his ideology, and honestly, who the hell would join him?
I mean... Seriously, the world just came out of a war where the main weapons were the FUCKING sun, the damn planet itself, the moon, and cosmic entities beyond comprehension!
And then this idiot shows up saying "gods don't exist"!?, What the actual fuck is wrong with the protagonist?
… *Sigh* Doesn't matter anymore.
Back on Earth, once Emily repopulated the world again with humans and mythical creatures, everything continued according to the protagonist's "story"
Which, by the way, is basically Marvel's storyline… with a few extra disasters added.
At this point I won't even bother screaming about how stupid all this is, or how useless the protagonist's actions are, so let's just continue.
In space, thanks to him, things also changed.
Thanos still wants to wipe out half the universe, but since Roger now owns all the Infinity Stones… that's impossible.
So now he's forced to focus entirely on finding Gyutaro's sister, so his side quest became his main quest.
Meanwhile, Ume is still trying to escape the dimension of Hel where the protagonist threw her, and now that she's Sequence 2, she plans to seduce one of Hel's rulers.
Well… the last one alive, anyway, because Alucard and Hans Günsche have killed nearly all of them, only Mephisto remains.
Not that he'll stay alive long, knowing Alucard, Mephisto is probably being kept alive purely for entertainment.
Oh, and before I forget, Ume and Alucard still haven't met, once again, thanks to the protagonist.
Meanwhile, Gamora and her sister finished training under Twilight and will soon leave to find the Power Stone in Twilight's name.
..... As expected, Twilight still has NO idea that Roger already collected all the Stones and turned them into his One Piece.
But whatever, as if it mattered.
Peter Quill also started his own One Piece quest, because, let's face it, he wants the Stones for three reasons
First to revive his mother, second to revive "sword of Justice", and third to give all the wealth to Yondu to pay his debts
… I don't understand how that fits into his dream of creating a group to protect the galaxy, but sure, good luck finding the one piece.
Something else that changedis that Ronan the Accuser finally broke ties with the Kree Empire, this time with more followers than in the original story.
And yet, ironically, he's already irrelevant, that's how far he's fallen, the first great enemy of the future Guardians of the Galaxy… demoted to a footnote.
Pathetic, really
But what else can you expect? All future Guardians are now mysteriously connected through the protagonist.
Another major change is that Shou Tucker, being Sequence 0, managed to get Galactus to fight Eternity.
And holy hell, what a fight.
Cosmic energy clashing, existence itself trembling, the universe screaming under the force of their blows, everyone felt the battle, except Earth.
Eight galaxies were destroyed, two celestials died by the mere aftershock, and worst of all, their battle tore a crack into the universe itself.
If not for the other universal aspects, and the protagonist's secret intervention, that crack would've remained forever.
Another shift is that Death herself finally confessed her feelings to the protagonist.
Yes, that Death, the cosmic aspect of death, the absolute ruler of who lives and dies, thanos's eternal obsession, she confessed to the protagonist.
And for poor Thanos… things just got worse, because the protagonist actually accepted her feelings (Translator: … This brings back memories 😥)
And don't get it twisted, the protagonist didn't accept out of love, no, he accepted because, in his mind "there's no better tool than someone blinded by love"
… Fucking bastard!, I hope he dies! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!
*Deep, broken sigh*.... Sometimes I truly wish I could control existence and kill that bastard myself, but… I can't.
*Sigh*... Okay.... I'm calm now, let's continue.
Another change, Ego somehow have fallen in love with Mariko.
Yes, now that poor tortured soul, tortured for the protagonist's entertainment, mind you, has as her companion an incomplete Celestial who is also suffering for... Well, being incomplete
It's ironic, really, two broken beings, one emotionally and another physically, choosing to live together.
And no, Ego doesn't want to use Mariko anymore, he genuinely fell for her.
And honestly, I don't know whether to celebrate or call the FBI because, even though she's one of the most powerful beings in the universe…
Mariko is still a child (Translator: FBI open up!! 🚨)
Whatever... Let the universe burn however it wants.
Another thing that happened is that Norman, Emma, and Ray finally reached Sequence 1 and formed their own organization/religion.
Unsurprisingly, it's an orphanage to rescue and raise all the orphans of the universe (Translator: Writer, you better let them be happy 😡)
And even less surprisingly, the orphanage is called "The Promised Neverland"... Yeah, we all know where this is going.
Because yes... the protagonist plans to… do something awful and tragic there.
No one in that orphanage will have a happy ending, not a single one (Translator: … I don't know what I expected from you, demon 🖕)
Kill me... I don't think I can stomach more tragedies.
That protagonist… that MONSTER—
... *Sigh* Sorry, Got carried away again.... Let's continue....
Oh, I suppose that's everything, right? Everything else in the universe is pretty much unchanged.
Aizen still wants to rule existence, Phoenix Wright continues to be an absurdly fair judge, Charlotte Linlin keeps devouring the universe, Tanya still trying to kill Roman...
And so on.
Makes sense there's so much peace now, actually.
Because something I didn't mention is that officially… it's the year 2000 on Earth.
....yep, now there's no turning point
(Translator: Sometimes I wonder if you have schizophrenia, bro. How can your two books have such different contexts? 😶
Writer: Schizophrenia? …Maybe. Am I crazy? …Most likely. Do I know what I'm doing? …No fucking idea 😅)
