<strong>Chapter 123: Reason for Transmigration</strong>
<span style="font-weight:400">“While we don’t have ady racoon, we have a talking shark, a talking crocodile, ady cheetah, a guy who can turn into any animal, and a city full of talking goris. They used to be our enemies but after being beaten by Lucas ck and blue and some…rehabilitation, they’re good guys now.”
<span style="font-weight:400">sh added when he saw Rocket looked disappointed.
<span style="font-weight:400">Rocket was surprised and asked.
<span style="font-weight:400">“A city of goris?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Like of the apes.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“You have a full of apes? Oh, are you talking about Earth?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“It’s a movi-...oh right, different world. Nevermind.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Whatever. This I gotta see! Let’s go there!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hop on the sh express!”
<span style="font-weight:400">shughed and held Rocket as he sped away, leaving Green Lantern grumbling.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Sure, leave the guy with no super speed…”
<span style="font-weight:400">While Gamora, Groot, and Rocket went about doing their own things, in the watchtower, Benjamin and Lucas were still talking amongst themselves when a sudden beeping sound rang out.
<span style="font-weight:400">Lucas turned to look at one of the screens on the wall and shrugged.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Oh, it’s that time again.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“What is it? Someone’s birthday or something?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin asked since the beeping sound didn’t sound urgent or dangerous.
<span style="font-weight:400">Lucas shook his head.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Nah, it’s just another wave of anti-matter about to destroy the multiverse again.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Oh…wait what?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin broke into sweat.
<span style="font-weight:400">Isn’t that important!? Rather, it’s a multiverse level threat isn’t it!?
<span style="font-weight:400">Why are you acting like it’s some kind of holiday!?
<span style="font-weight:400">Lucas noticed his expression andughed.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Haha, rx. This stuff happens every few years or so. It’s not a big deal.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...How is the end of the multiverse not a big deal!? Also, why does it happen so many times!?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Lucas sighed.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Actually, the first time this happened, it was indeed somewhat of a big deal.”
<span style="font-weight:400">…Only somewhat!?
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin was speechless.
<span style="font-weight:400">Lucas continued.
<span style="font-weight:400">“But eventually, I managed to kill the Anti-monitor who was responsible for the anti-matter wave. We all celebrated and moved on. However…it happened again after a few years…and again…and again…”
<span style="font-weight:400">“What’s wrong? The Anti-monitor keep resurrecting?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Well, yes and no.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Huh?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Technically speaking, the ones we killed were already dead. The ones that appearedter are another version of the Anti-monitor. You know, multiverse stuff.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...Isn’t the Anit-monitor some kind of unique being in the multiverse?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Lucas shook his head.
<span style="font-weight:400">“There’s no such thing as a unique being in the multiverse. Not the Anti-monitor, not the One Above All, and certainly not me or you. If I have to say…the only unique thing in the multiverse are the Systems and by extension, makes the ‘current us’ a unique thing. I’ve tested it before by going back in time and meeting the past me. The instant I entered that timeline, the past me’s System disappeared suddenly while the current me still had it. I tried going to the future and this time, it was my System that disappeared while the future me still had it. Of course, the System returned to me when I went back to my time.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin was surprised to hear Lucas exin regarding this.
<span style="font-weight:400">He had never thought about the System like this and thought it would always be bound to him unless something happens to take it away.
<span style="font-weight:400">It didn’t ur to him that traveling to the future might cause it to disappear.
<span style="font-weight:400">It seems he can’t simply time-travel unnecessarily.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Anyway, it was indeed a problem that Anti-monitors keep appearing so with the help of Doctor Fate, John Constantine, Ray Palmer, Brainiac, Lex Luthor and a bunch more experts in the field of magic and science, we were able to create the Anti-Anti-monitor. AAM for shor!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...Anti-Anti? Isn’t that just the Monitor?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin retorted.
<span style="font-weight:400">Lucas shook his head and clicked his tongue.
<span style="font-weight:400">“No, the Monitor is useless. You know that one guy in school project team that keeps talking but doesn’t contribute to anything? He’s that guy.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin was speechless.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Anyway, with the AAM, basically whenever there’s a notice of anti-matter wave appearing, the AAM will release its own burst of anti-anti-matter wave which exactly counters the anti-matter and at the same time, kill the Anti-monitor. Also, it’s basically harmless to others.”
<span style="font-weight:400">As he spoke, Benjamin felt an invisible wave of energy seemingly surge past him.
<span style="font-weight:400">Seconds after, the beeping stopped.
<span style="font-weight:400">“There. Problem solved.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...”
<span style="font-weight:400">…That’s it?
<span style="font-weight:400">A multiverse-level disaster…was gone just like that?
<span style="font-weight:400">“So…you just saved the entire multiverse just like that?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hm? Well, it’s AAM who did it not me. Also, when I meant multiverse, I only mean the DC multiverse.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Lucas exined.
<span style="font-weight:400">“The multiverse is muchrger than people think it is. There is what I call the Greater Multiverse which consists of every existing universe like yours or mine. Then there’s the Lesser Multiverse which are a cluster of universes that are closely rted. The Marvel-verse and DC-verse is an example of this. There’s also others like the Harry Potter-verse or One Piece-verse. Speaking of, I went there by ident one time. Anyway, the anti-matter wave just now only existed in the DC-verse and didn’t affect your universe.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“What about the spider-verse?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“That’s another smaller cluster in your Marvel-verse which is the Character-verse. Spider-verse, Venom-verse, Batman-verse, sh-verse… basically a group of universes where the same character exists.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin nodded then asked.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’m curious. With your power…aren’t you tempted to go and conquer other universes? Not just the DC ones.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Lucas chuckled and shook his head.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I might be powerful but it would be too arrogant to think that there’s nobody out there capable of defeating me. The multiverse is simply too vast. There’s no point in conquering other universes. Besides, if someone disrupts things too much in a universe where they don’t belong, more System-holders appear.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Huh?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin was surprised to hear the topic return to the Systems again.
<span style="font-weight:400">Lucas hesitated for a moment before sighing.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Actually, I think I might have caused you to transmigrate and gain a system.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...Huh!?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin was even more surprised.
<span style="font-weight:400">“The thing is, I went to the Marvel cinematic universe one time for fun and had my kids uhh…make a mess over there…anyway, it reached the point where that universe was about to break so I reverted things to how it was before we arrived there…I tried to fix it as best I could but…hehe.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin was speechless once again.
<span style="font-weight:400">So…does he mean that after making a mess and trying to fix it…I somehow got transmigrated into that universe?
<span style="font-weight:400">[It is true. Because of his involvement, spatial anomalies appeared and identally dragged you from your previous world. As for the changes resulting his ‘fix’, the universe fixed itself on its own by incorporating other nearby universes.]
<span style="font-weight:400">…No wonder…
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin felt long before that his world seemed simr to the MCU in his previous world, but at the same time, differed a lot.
<span style="font-weight:400">Characters that didn’t originally appear in the MCU appeared here…events that happened in other versions also appeared here…it was like a mix of this and that with the MCU as a main base…
<span style="font-weight:400">Was this the reason?
<span style="font-weight:400">Then…what about the System? How did I get it? Is it some kind of naturally urring phenomenon?
<span style="font-weight:400">[It is not. You were given this System right before you appeared in the Marvel world.]
<span style="font-weight:400">By who?
<span style="font-weight:400">[That is ssified. Do not worry, host. That person has no bad intentions. When the timees, the host will realize who it is and why it happened.]
<span style="font-weight:400">“...”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin sighed and shook his head.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Anyway, forget about it. What’s happened has happened. Rather than that, is there any fun things to do here? It’s not always that I get to travel to the DC universe.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Haha I know all the fun ces! For starters, let’s go to Apokalips!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...”
