 Chapter 119: Marvel DC sh

 Seeing Benjamin starting to approach him, Superman looked a bit tense as he asked.

 “Are you my new owner now?”

 Benjamin shook his head.

 “Nah. I already removed that bomb in your head. There’s no need for you to listen to anyone now.”

 “...”

 Superman frowned.

 So the ticking in his head being gone…wasn’t an illusion?

 It was really gone?

 But…am I…really free?

 Benjamin saw his expression and chuckled.

 “Rx. There’s no catch. No strings attached. You’re free.”

 Superman fell silent for a moment before deciding to turn around.

 Just as he did, Benjamin continued.

 “But before you go…”

 Superman froze.

 He sighed.

 There it is.

 There’s no free lunch in this world.

 What does he want in return?

 Does he want me to kill the Grandmaster?

 Conquer a?

 …Anyway. As long as the price is my freedom…

 Before Superman could think any further, Benjamin asked.

 “Do you want to return from where you came from?”

 “...Huh?”

 “From my understanding, the Collector found you when you were just a baby and raised you in a disy ss. Then the Grandmaster won you in a bet and became his champion in his arena. Now here you are, free from all those shackles…don’t you want to go back to where you belong?”

 Superman’s eyes went wide.

 Does he mean…my birthce!?

 Can I really return…to where I was born!?

 Can I meet my parents!?

 Superman had a lot of questions in his head but in the end, he only asked one thing.

 “Can I…really go back?”

 Benjamin sighed.

 “Well, yes and no. While I do know the general area where you were supposed to be, I don’t know the specific universe…but there’s still a chance to find out. The only thing left is what you want to do.”

 Superman took a deep breath and nodded.

 “I want to go.”

 Benjamin nodded then turned to Carol and the rest.

 “You guys return first. I’ll deal with this one for a while. I’ll be off-universe for a bit so you won’t be able to reach me. If anything happens you can’t handle, wait for my return.”

 “Alright. Stay safe out there.”

 Carol nodded while the rest were confused.

 Nightcrawler asked.

 “Hold on, off-universe? What? Did I skip something?”

 “Yeah! If you’re gonna go universe-hopping, count me in!”

 Rocket added, clearly interested in other universes.

 “I am Groot!”

 “See, even Groot wants to go!”

 Benjamin rolled his eyes but didn’t bother refusing.

 Anyway, it might be interesting to bring these two in the DC universe.

 I wonder if I’ll meet Batman there?

 What expression will he give when he sees a talking racoon and tree?

 …Who am I kidding, I doubt he’ll give any expression.

 “Anyone else wants to go?”

 “Ooh! Ooh! Me!”

 “Denied. Go rule Asgard. You’ve left long enough.”

 “Ohh…”

 Thor deted like a balloon upon being denied.

 Benjamin nced at the others.

 Daredevil shook his head when he sensed Benjamin’s gaze upon him.

 “I think aliens are enough for me for now.”

 Starlord also shook his head.

 “I’m not going. I’m allergic to other universes. Take the tree and rodent. I can finally get some peace and quiet around here.”

 “Who’re you calling a rodent you shithead!?”

 Rocket growled but Starlord just ignored him.

 Suddenly, Gamora stepped out.

 “Can Ie? I’m kind of interested to see a different universe.”

 Upon hearing Gamora being interested, Starlord quickly corrected himself.

 “Actually, I think I’ll go too.”

 However, Gamora shook her head.

 “No. You’re allergic to other universes. You should stay.”

 “...”

 Starlord’s face twitched while Rocket smirked at him.

 I was clearly lying!

 After a while, Benjamin opened up a portal and sent the others back to Earth while Starlord and Drax boarded their spaceship and left to wander somewhere.

 Once their group left, Benjamin turned to Superman, Rocket, Groot, and Gamora.

 “I’ll put you guys in my Soul Realm for now to avoid any problems.”

 “Soul Realm?”

 Superman asked.

 “It’s like a subspace within the Soul Infinity Stone.”

 Benjamin shrugged and with a thought, they all appeared in Soul Realm.

 The surrounding was filled like a tropical ind with a mansion near the beach.

 The orange hue of the ce makes it seem as if the world was forever in sunset.

 “Huh. It looks nicer than I thought it would.”

 Rocket was amazed as he looked around.

 “I am Groot.”

 Groot nodded as well.

 “By the way, Thanos and a few other criminals are locked and tortured in the basement dungeons so if you wanna go have a look, feel free. You don’t need to worry about them escaping.”

 “Sweet! Let’s go Groot!”

 Rocket immediately dashed to look for the basement with Groot so Benjamin shouted to them.

 “Also, the entity known as Death lives here as well so don’t cause too much ruckus!”

 “...”

 Rocket immediately froze.

 On second thought. Lying by the beach sounds fine…

 Seeing those two behave themselves, Benjamin chuckled and turned to Superman and Gamora.

 “Alright. Stay here for a while. I’ll take you guys out when we’re on the other side.”

 Superman and Gamora nodded then looked for a ce to rest.

 Benjamin left the Soul Realm and looked around.

 When he saw that Voyager hasn’t returned, he sighed in relief then quickly opened a portal back to Knowhere.

 There wasn’t much reason why. He just wanted a ce tomunicate with the System.

 After finding a nice and private ce, Benjamin asked.

 Alright, how do we do this now, System?

 [First of all, Host should buy 2 World Gates in the System shop. One to go and one to return. Your Sling Ring won’t be able to portal you to a universe that far.]

 Gotcha…damn, 100 million MP for one!? Do I even have enough!?

 [...Host, take a look how many MP you have saved up.]

 What do you mean? I think thest time I checked, it was around 100 mil or something and I’m not really getting any queststely…

 Benjamin asked but when he looked at his interface, he was shocked to see the amount of MP he had saved.

 3 Trillion!? How did it get that much!? I only need 7 trillion to get another System Infinity Stone!

 [Host doesn’t pay attention to quests anymore so the System simply let it run in the background as you continued aplishing various things. Be it from saving the Spider-verse, dealing with the Collector, the Grandmaster, and such, there were quests for it so you continued to gain rewards.]

 Really? Why did it suddenly change to running in the background?

 Benjamin asked.

 [...In the first ce, Host choosing to be a Policeman hadpletely eliminated pre-made quests for Hero or Viin route. The System has only been issuing quests on the fly depending on the host’s situation. Then the Host started ignoring quest prompts, the System decided to simply let it run in the background. Anyway, the Host keeps deciding things on its own. There’s no change even if there is a prompt.]

 “...”

 Benjamin was a bit speechless.

 Why does it feel like…the System is throwing a tantrum?

 Is it mad or something?

 Also, it still hasn’t forgotten the matter with the Policeman option!?

 How long is it holding a grudge!?

 Benjamin shook his head and asked.

 What do you mean I’m ignoring the prompts? Aren’t I still paying attention to that harem side quest?

 [...The only thing the Host is interested about is his harem. Of course you only pay attention to it.]

 “...”

 Benjamin didn’t know how to refute that.

 He sighed and wondered if he got other things aside from MP from the rewards.

 However, Benjamin decided to check thatter.

 After buying two World Gates, he asked the System again.

 Now what?

 [The System has already contacted another System in the DC Universe and got its host’s permission to send their coordinates to us. Does Host want to retrieve the coordinates?]

 Oh, just that? Can Systems really just talk to each other like that?

 [Others can’t. The Ultimate Marvel System can.]

 Why?

 [Because it can.]

 Yeah but why?

 [Host, you know what the answer will be. Host has insufficient permissions to know the answer.]

 Figures…

 Benjamin shook his head.

 Anyway, retrieve the coordinates.

 [Confirming Host again. Are you sure?]

 Yes.

 [Confirming Host again. Are you really sure?]

 …Yes.

 [Confirming Host again. Are you really really sure?]

 Ok, what’s the deal!? Spit it out!

 [The other side’s System Holder has pretty much conquered his whole DC Universe. As the host is now, you cannot win.]

 Benjamin was surprised.

 Even with the Infinity Stones?

 [Even with the Infinity Stones]

 Even with the Ultimate Nullifier?

 [Even with the Ultimate Nullifier]

 How!?

 [He can outrun it.]

 Well shit. I can’t even imagine that.

 [Shit indeed]

 But will we even need to fight?

 [There is a 98% chance that you won’t.]

 So there’s 2% chance we will?

 [100% if host makes a move on his daughters or wives.]

 I WON’T!

 Benjamin sighed.

 Anyway, there’s a higher chance there won’t be a fight.

 Even if there is…Benjamin has 2 Deaths on his side.

 And if it’s needed, he can use the Ultimate Nullifier.

 Even if that guy outruns it for some reason, it should still be able to dy him for at least a second…right?

 If all else fails…Benjamin still has that +1 Life Token which he can use to resurrect and immediately flee.

 Benjamin took a deep breath and was about to do the final confirmation when he suddenly remembered.

 “By the way, this thing about returning Superman back to the DC Universe…is there a quest for it?”

 [Yes]

 [Main Quest: Marvel DC sh!]

 [Superman has identally entered the Marvel Universe! As someone who isn’t originally from the Marvel Universe, host can choose to escort Superman back to the DC Universe.]

 [Rewards: 1 Trillion MP, Speedforce, Avatar Creation, Power Bestowal]

 [Whether the host chooses to escort Superman back to the DC Universe or not is entirely up to the Host. No penalty for failure.]

 “Hisss!”

 Benjamin’s eyes went wide in surprise.

 A trillion MP! Speedforce!

 Avatar Creation!...What’s that? Can I make those blue-skinned aliens or make an element bender?

 Well, it’s probably like a clone thing where I can create an avatar of myself and split myself?

 Hmm…I guess it''s pretty useful.

 I’ll probably not use it in bed though.

 [...As expected of Host to only think of it in that way…]

 Benjamin ignored the system and turned to thest reward.

 Power Bestowal.

 This…does it let me bestow others with my skills?

 With that skill disappear from me then?

 [Yes. In a way, it’s a skill that allows you to the ability to pass skills gained from the System to others. Skills passed this way can be retrieved at any time.]

 Benjamin nodded.

 Over time, he has gained a bunch of skills. Most were quite minor and redundant too.

 Since he wasn’t using it, better to pass it to others.

 After checking the quest this time, Benjamin no longer hesitated.

 “System, retrieve the coordinates! Time to go to the DC Universe!”
