Chapter 19 - Heavenly Opening Arc

In the empty void, Allen's body drifted aimlessly.

"I'm bored," Allen muttered.

He turned to the side, noticing several surviving omniverses floating in the distance. Curiously, he approached and observed them.

"Beautiful… but I wonder, is my world like theirs?"

Suddenly, a long-haired man approached Allen.

"Allen Stolen... no, you're not just a glitched NPC—you're a Demon King," the man said.

Allen turned to him, puzzled. The man had long black hair tied back neatly.

"Who are you?" Allen asked.

The man bowed slightly.

"My name is Dio Kamaima. Just call me Dio."

"Why are you here? Are you like me?"

Dio closed his eyes briefly, then opened them again.

"The creature you just killed... it was called a Godikan."

"...A fish?"

"Yes."

Allen burst out laughing.

"What's so funny?" Dio asked, confused.

Allen tried to calm his laughter.

"Let me explain. In English, 'God' means a deity, and in Indonesian, 'ikan' means fish. So 'Godikan' is literally 'God Fish'. That's hilarious!"

Dio stared at Allen blankly, unimpressed. Then he explained:

"Godikan is a highly dangerous being. A blink from it can warp reality. Its breath can create thousands of multiverses. A single punch can shatter an omniverse, and every step it takes cracks the very fabric of universes."

Allen fell silent, finally taking it seriously.

He asked, "Who exactly are you?"

"I already told you."

"I'm not that dumb."

"...?"

"Are you a human? A cosmic entity? What are you?"

"I'm Dio—the strongest god in the heavenly realm."

"Then what's your purpose here?"

Dio shook his head.

"Create your omniverse."

"I'm not that powerful..."

Dio placed his hand on Allen's shoulder.

"Believe in yourself."

Allen brought his hands together... and then opened them.

"Creation."

In the blink of an eye, Allen's omniverse was restored.

He breathed life into it, inserting an avatar of himself with only 1% of his original power.

Within the void, Allen closed his eyes and began managing everything.

Inside the Isekai World

Allen slowly regained consciousness—resting on Merie's lap.

"You're finally awake, Allen," she said gently.

Allen turned his head and saw Kamui, Amaterasu, and Megumin nearby.

He instantly became alert and stepped back.

"Merie, get behind me."

He tried summoning his magic, but it wasn't nearly as strong as before.

Merie stepped in front of the others.

"They're not enemies."

"What do you mean, Merie?"

Megumin stepped forward.

"Our boss is dead... and we don't have long left either."

"What are you talking about?"

"Our bodies were modified. Most of our organs are no longer functional."

Allen looked at them with sympathy, then made his decision. He healed them.

Their bodies glowed with magic and were restored.

Afterward, Allen picked up Olivia, whom he had left in Fujimiya's care.

Everyone returned to their homes.

Elsewhere...

Fujimiya walked through a long corridor, stopping before a large bunker. He opened it.

Inside, Makina was enjoying her meal.

He approached with a sly smile.

"How was our service, miss?"

"It was excellent."

"Truly? We're so glad to hear that."

Makina stood up.

"How much do I owe you?"

"It's free. A gift for one of the Seven Great Students."

She shook his hand.

"Thank you. I'll definitely come again."

Makina exited the bunker.

Fujimiya grinned wickedly.

"Oh no, miss... you won't be coming back. My plan has already succeeded."

Back with Allen

Stella squealed with excitement upon seeing Olivia.

"Hey Allen, where did you find this cute girl?"

"I just picked her up for fun."

Rika mischievously bit Olivia's elf ear.

"Hey! That tickles!" Olivia said with a blush.

They spent time introducing themselves and bonding.

Later, Allen seemed deep in thought.

Without saying much, he quickly headed to his room.

"Where are you going?" Rika asked.

"I'm sleepy. Going to bed."

Allen entered his room and shut the door.

He laid down and spoke quietly.

"System, open."

> SYSTEM: Activated.

"I want to check my power status."

> SYSTEM: Loading... Complete.

Your current power is at 1%.

Allen was shocked.

He couldn't remember why or how he lost 99% of his power.

He tried recalling what happened after his battle with Uno, but the memories were fuzzy.

He closed his eyes tightly, hoping this was all just a bad dream.

The Next Day – At the Academy

Ian entered the class wearing his sports outfit.

"Alright, class. Today we have three new transfer students!"

The students buzzed with curiosity.

"Come in," Ian called.

Kamui, Amaterasu, and Megumin stepped inside.

"Hi, I'm Megumin, 16 years old. Nice to meet you all!"

"Hello! I'm Amaterasu, 15. Let's all be good friends!" she said with a dazzling smile.

The boys in class were instantly captivated.

Then a dark aura filled the room.

"I'm Kamui, 17. I have a warning for all of you. If any of you want to date my adorable little sisters—step over my dead body first."

Amaterasu tugged on her arm.

"Big sis, stop that..."

"Alright, you three can sit over there," Ian pointed to the seats next to Allen.

"Thank you," they replied in unison.
