Jayr POV - Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken Universe, Central World, Magic Continent, Great Jura Forest, Tempest - 2013 AMB
Shortly after the portal closes, I walk up to the warriors from the Dragon Ball Multiverse and greet them, "Hello there. Welcome to this endangered universe. Once again, thank you for responding to my request for help."
In response, Beerus looks away and snorts as if annoyed for being here, most likely because my request cut his usual eon-long nap short.
Meanwhile, Whis steps forward and gracefully says, "There is no need for thanks, Jayr-sama. Your team did win the Tournament of Power and rightfully earned an Alliance with all the universes under Zeno-sama's rule. We are just fulfilling our duties as your ally."
This is followed by Goku, who excitedly exclaims, "That's right! On top of that, I'll never let the chance to enjoy a good ol' fight pass by!" Making Gohan warn his father with his usual level-headed tone that perfectly masks his worry, "You should be more careful, Father. This isn't like the usual battles we are used to... This is a true open conflict! It's an invasion the likes we have never seen before..."
At this point, a smirking Vegeta, followed by an equally smirking Nappa behind him, steps in and says in a confident and almost nostalgic tone, "It has been quite some time since I last took part in a war, it's going to be nice to do so once again... However, I must admit this is the first time I find myself on the defensive side. It will be a nice change for once."
Shortly after Vegeta said that, Nappa laughed out loud and said, "Hahaha. Hey, Vegeta! Do you remember our last invasion? When we were captured on that planet full of bugs and you almost became the prison's bit-"
But before Nappa can finish his sentence, Vegeta quickly interrupts him by yelling, "Shut it, Nappa! How many times have you told this story already!? It's enough."
Jiren, Top, and the rest of the Pride Troopers also walk up to me with Belmod and Markarita calmly following them from behind, and then, they tell me that they are more than happy to take part in this battle to protect this universe from destruction.
This is followed by the top warriors of the 2nd Universe, who also tell me that they will surely support our side with their love.
This, as ridiculous as it sounds, may very well be the most effective weapon against the corrupting influence of the Chaos Gods and Unicron, which is the main reason why I requested their presence.
On the other hand, the Deities and warriors from the 3rd Universe were the ones who requested to join us and take part in this war because they wanted to study the enemy technology and see if they can use it to improve their universe, something that I happily agreed considering the impressive power they are able to unleash, especially when Dr. Paparoni and his creations fuse into Agnilasa.
Once I've greeted the warriors from the Dragon Ball Multiverse, I calmly introduce everyone to the still very excited Rimuru, especially the ones who appeared in Dragon Ball Super, as it didn't come out yet in this universe.
Then I lead everyone to my wive Saori, who in the meantime has already formed dozen of possible strategies for the upcoming battle and has sent them to the leaders or their second-in-command of all our allied forces, and there I introduce the warriors from the Dragon Ball Multiverse to the others, and naturally, Hajime starts to fanboy over Goku and the others just like Rimuru.
At this point, we are only waiting for my Digimon Incarnation, Zendeer, and Aletha to bring the last group of helpers that we have recruited across the Omniverse.
Well, to be more specific, the helpers that we've recruited come only from three Universes.
Two of those universes are actually new ones that we gained access to thanks to Zandeer and Aletha's Unigate, while the third one is, in fact, one of the previous multiverses I've visited before.
Since there is still some time left before my Digimon Incarnation arrives with the last batches of allies, I have decided that it is finally time to stop holding back the Voice of the World from analyzing and possibly powering up all the new arrivals with Unique and Ultimate Skills, maybe even evolving a few of them.
There are a few reasons why I decided to stop the Voice of the World from doing that until now.
The first one that comes to my mind is that it may have caused huge problems to this universe's balance, considering the number and average level of power of the individual that arrived to our aid, to the point that it may even cause the outright destruction of a few universes just to counter-balance it.
However, that isn't the main problem, as I could have easily fixed the issue by using my own energy to support the process and counter-balance the Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken Universe as a whole.
The main reason why I held back the Voice of the World from doing its job is that suddenly gaining a new skill, or even outright evolving as being as soon as arriving to this new universe may possibily cause quite a bit of issues and a lot of chaos, especially if those people lose control of their new power or the Skill they gain is trublesome in some way or form.
But now, I don't have to worry about that as much as before, because everyone who has arrived has had enough time to regain their bearings and is starting to get used to this universe's rules.
Coming to that conclusion, I quickly focus on my Cosmic Awareness to sense the presence of everyone in the area, and then I use my telephathy to calmly inform them of what is about to happen, reassuring them that the process is completely benign and safe, as it is basically a free upgrade.
Naturally, I also inform them that the upgrade they will receive may be minimal or even completely useless, as the main factor behind this process is their own base power and their innate potential.
This means that if they are already very powerful and have already squeezed quite a bit of their potential, there isn't much that they can gain from the interaction of the Voice of the World.
However, gaining something is always better than getting nothing at all. At the very least, the strongest ones among those who came to our aid will gain a Unique Skill or even an Ultimate Skill if they are lucky, while the weaker ones have a considerable chance of bursting out with new potential and even outright evolving into a higher state of being.
After informing everyone, I connect to the Voice of the World and stop holding it back from interacting with the new arrivals; however, I also make sure to direct it in order to separate all the people into smaller, manageable groups.
The first group is obviously that of those who arrived from my home universe, obviously, I'm talking about my wives, the Saints, the Specters, the Undead, and the Bidi Brigade.
Saori gained an utterly broken Ultimate Skill named Athena, Goddess of the Sanctuary, that allows her to freely use all the abilities and techniques of all those who swore to fight in her name.
This means that she can casually use any technique or ability of ANY Saint that has ever been part of the Sanctuary, even those in the past, but more importantly, this includes me too, making Saori an absolute menace for our enemy and pretty much everyone else.
Tio evolved from a Dragonman into a much more powerful Dragonoid, like Milim and me, and gained the Unique Skill Masochist, which basically enhances her power the more she is hurt.
In Alvida's case, her Devil Fruit Power, the Sube Sube no Mi (Smooth Smooth Fruit), evolved and became an Ultimate Skill, allowing Alvida to use the powers of her Awakened Devil Fruit without any issue with her control, instantly turning her into a true nightmare for our enemies.
Regarding the all the Saints, well the various Skill that they gained can be ignored at the moment, but the most important gain is without any doubt the fact that all of them broke through the limits of their human bodies imposed by my home universe allowing them to train their bodies to a true supernatural level and thus performing supernatural feats without the use of Cosmo.
Then there are the Specters, who all gained the ability to instantly send their soul back to Eri's Underworld, no matter what, escaping all bindings and seals, and all protecting them from all kinds of mental or soul manipulation.
This may seem a simple and generic skill, but in truth, it makes the Specters a truly formidable and unstoppable force.
After all, the Specters are in the true sense of the world immortal; they will exist as long as the Underworld exists, even if their soul are completely eradicated, they will still reform as long as their lord, formerly Hades, now Eri, wishes for it.
One of the few true ways to stop them was to seal them away, but now, thanks to this new skill, even that option is no longer available, so good luck, future enemies of my Goddess of Death wife.
Moving on, the Undead simply received a general upgrade; some of them evolved, some gained new Skills, nothing particularly notable.
Lastly, there are the Digimon who, just like my Digimon Partners, simply gained the ability to convert their Data into Magicules.
Done with this group, I quickly move on to the next one, I'm talking about, those from the Arifureta Universe.
Hajime and his happy harem, Yue, Kaori, Shea, and Shizuku, all gained Skills that further enhanced their speciality, and the same can be said for the Liberators, Freid, and all the others who came from Tortus.
Many of the monsters they have brought on the other directly evolved, becoming much more powerful.
However, without any doubt, the ones who gained the most are the Apostles who directly evolved into Starlight Apostles, becoming much stronger than before, and thanks to their strong faith in me, gaining access to my unique form of energy, the Spiral Cosmo.
After confirming that everyone has successfully gone through the process, I continue by focusing on the third group, the ones from the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Universe.
In this particular case, nothing too noteworthy changed for them; they only gained some random Skill fitting them and improved their physical abilities, but everything they gained simply pales in comparison to what they all are already able to do.
After all, the Tengen Toppa Dai Gurren Brigade is already beyond anything this whole multiverse is able to do and has already broken through their limits countless times.
Done with the people from the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Universe, I focus on the ones from the One Piece Universe.
Who immediately catches my attention is, without any doubt, my uncle-in-law Poisedon, who gained the Ultimate Skill Poseidon, Lord of the Seas, which basically allows him to summon his realm whenever he wants, further improving all his abilities and those of his Marinas while sharply weakening his enemies.
The Marinas, on the other hand, received more or less the same treatment as the Saints; they too gained some Skill, some more useful, some less, and broke through the limits of their human bodies, allowing them to grow much more powerful.
Lastly, I focus my attention on the last group, the ones from the Dragon Ball Multiverse, and soon, I immediately sense quite a few of them outright rejecting any kind of gift from the Voice of the World.
I'm obviously talking about Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Goza, Gohan, Future Trunks, Nappa, Cell, Broly, Majin Buu, Cabba, Caulifla, Kale, Hit, Jiren, Top, Dyspo, Cocotte, Kahseral, Kettle, K'nsi, Tupper, Vewon, Zoire, Beerus, Belmod, Champa, Heles, Mule/Mosco, Whis, Markarita, Vados, Sawar, and Kampari.
The reason for their rejection varies but mostly, the Saiyans because of their Pride and disdain for such shortcuts, the Pride Troopers and Hit because they want to rely only on their own abilities, the Deties and Guide Angels because they can't be influenced by another universe not under Zeno, and Majin Buu... because he is Majin Buu, the character so powerful that he was nerfed the shit out in GT and directily took out by the plot in Super because it was more than capable of dealing with most of the issues on his own.
[AN: I'm not ashamed to admit that while this solution mostly fits their character, the true reason for that is that I simply do not have enough brain juice and patience to come up with so many fitting Skills for so many characters, even more so when plenty of them are already so powerful. I hope you appreciate the honesty.]
Because of this, only Borerareta, Botamo, Brianne, Jimizu, Koitsukai, Magetta, Pancea, Dr. Paparoni, Pilina, Sanka, Saonel, and Sous actually fully accept the "upgrade" gifted by the Voice of the World, but just like many others, they at most received a Skill that further enhances their speciality or covers up for their weakness, like Magetta, who gains the ability to emit a deafening noise that covers any insult directed at him; basically, he can now censor his opponents.
With the last group done, I once again find myself waiting alone while all the other people get used to their new powers and, in some cases, their new bodies.
Meanwhile, Rimuru returned to Tempest to not only make the final preparation for tomorrow's invasion, but also to relax and play some games with Veldora, who, while trapped inside Rimuru, got "contaminated" by a flood of sacred knowledge stored in Rimuru's mind, turning him into a respectable fellow Man of Culture.
As I keep waiting, Hajime, who already got used to his new Skill, walks up to me and asks, "So... Who are we still waiting for? I have to admit that I'm quite curious now, especially after meeting with legends like Goku and Vegeta. I mean, I had to hold myself from shrieking like a hysterical fangirl when I saw them before."
I look at my fellow Man of Culture and, with a smirk on my face, I ignore his question for a moment and ask back, "You got their autograph?" Which makes Hajime grin and reply, "Hell yeah! I even took a commemorative photo. It's going to be a family heirloom."
I see through the eyes of my Digimon Incarnation that we are about to arrive at Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken Universe, so I grin, calculate the timing, materialize an electric guitar, look up at the sky, and start to answer Hajime's previous question, "You see... We only had two chances to recruit powerful allies from new universes, so I had to make sure that they would be the best choice possible, not only power-wise, but also on the chance of them agreeing to come to another universe to take part in such a dangerous battle."
My grin grows wider as I notice the first signs of a portal forming above us, as I say, "Because of those reasons and considering that among our enemies are going to be countless 'demons'. My first most obvious choice can only be someone who..."
At this point, I dig in, pick scraping down the strings as the iconic riff punches out like a fist, and then with an excited grin, I yell, "Rip and Tear! Until it is done!"
At the same time, as I play the blood-pumping masterpiece created by Mick Gordon and Hajime's eyes widen in both realization and excited shock, the familiar portal fully forms in the sky above, and from it an enormous structure emerges.
It is a towering chunk of dark, jagged rock that rises vertically, tapering to a sharp point at the bottom as though torn from a larger planet or asteroid.
Built into the upper portion of this rock is an enormous fortress with a distinctly futuristic yet medieval-inspired design.
The fortress has multiple cylindrical towers, some capped with dome-like roofs, and others with spired turrets.
The main structure features a prominent central section with metallic, high-tech details and glowing blue accents, hinting at advanced technology.
The upper dome is dark reddish-brown, ringed with strange spiny structures or antenna-like protrusions.
This can only be the Fortress of Doom, the space station used by THE Doom Slayer as his personal headquarters, designed by the people of Argent D'Nur, but built around a core of Maykr technology, originally intended as a base of operations for the Night Sentinels.

The next moment, with a flash of light, a fairly big group appears a few meters away from us, making Hajime exclaim out loud, "No freaking way!"
My Digimon Incarnation is standing in front of everyone, but right next to me, there is HIM.
Donning his signature heavily armored suit, predominantly in shades of olive green and dark brown, the Praetor Suit.
The armor is highly detailed, with numerous plates, rivets, and mechanical components visible.
The Praetor Suit appears worn and battle-scarred, suggesting extensive combat experience.
His physique is powerfully built, visible even through the armor. The helmet is a key feature, a large, imposing piece of equipment with a glowing green visor, suggesting technology and advanced capabilities.
The helmet has visible battle damage, scratching, and denting consistent with the wear on the armor itself.
Attached to the shoulder is a small, cylindrical device, likely a technological addition to his gear.
In his left hand, he holds the Doomblade, a sword of Sentinel make perfect for quick and grisly finishers.
His armored gauntlets are heavily reinforced, with studs and large, bulky components. The boots or lower leg armor pieces have similar studded features and a heavy, combat-ready look.
Naturally, he is THE Doom Slayer, possibly one of the most badass individuals in the whole Omniverse.
(Image Here - Doom Slayer)
Convincing the Doom Slayer to come was quite easy; we just had to meet him using Aletha's Unigate and ask, "Do you want to come to another universe to slaughter an endless horde of deamons?" To which he replied with a plain and direct, "Yes."
Then I focus on the colorful group of people behind my Digimon Incarnation and the Doom Slayer.
The one leading them is a bald, average-height man with brown eyes, a lean but athletic build, and subtly defined musculature.
His most distinguishing trait is his hairless head, a result of his rigorous training regimen, which replaced his former short black hair.
He is dressed in a hero costume that consists of a yellow one-piece jumpsuit with a short zipper at the collar and a black belt with a round golden buckle at its center.
He wears red gloves that go 3/4 up his forearms and red boots that nearly reach his knees.
His costume is finished with a white cape, fastened to his shoulders with big, round buttons.
Naturally, he is Saitama, the hero for fun and the most powerful being in his home universe, the One-Punch Man Universe, whose physical might has reached truly absurd levels.
(Image Here - Saitama)
Following behind him are the other members of what is known as the Saitama Group: Genos, King, Bang, Fubuki, and Tatsumaki.
Genos is a mechanical cyborg of average human height; his face and ears look like those of a normal human, made of artificial skin material, and his eyes have black sclera with yellow irises.
He has spiky blond hair and his eyebrows are brown; he also has pierced ears.
Genos's wardrobe consists of street clothes with all of his upper-body attire being sleeveless to allow his arms to transform without hassle.
He has many different sets of arms, with varying abilities and strengths.
(Image Here - Genos)
King is a tall, lean man with light tan skin, blue eyes, and shoulder-length, slicked-back blonde hair combed down to the nape of his neck.
He has a long face with sunken cheeks and a well-defined jawline.
His most notable physical feature is the set of three vertical scars over his left eye, received from Octopus Claw Man.
Unlike most heroes, he dresses casually without any hero suit or uniform, and he is sometimes seen wearing a cap that has the kanji for 'King' on it.
(Image Here - King)
Bang is an elderly man who walks with a slight hunch in his back, and he has light blue eyes, spiky white hair, as well as thick eyebrows and a mustache, and tan skin tone.
He wears a long-sleeved black martial arts jumpsuit with a turtleneck, light-colored pants, and a pair of Tai Chi slippers.
Despite his old age, his body is lean and very muscular, and it is covered in scars.
(Image Here - Bang)
Fubuki is a young woman with a curvy figure, straight, chin-length dark green hair styled into a bob with a fringe, and light green eyes varying from jade to mint. She also wears light pink lip gloss.
Her main attire consists of a dark royal-green, form-fitting V-neck dress with a high collar, often paired with a long white fur coat draped over it, thigh-high black heeled boots, and two white pearl necklaces.
(Image Here - Fubuki)
Lastly, there is Tatsumaki, a petite woman, commonly mistaken for being much younger than she really is.
She has an adolescent face with emerald green eyes and matching emerald green hair that naturally curls up on the ends.
She wears a form-fitting V-neck black dress with a high collar, long trumpet sleeves, and four high-cut leg slits with pointed ends that show off her shapely, long legs and matching black low-heeled shoes.
(Image Here - Tatsumaki)
Convincing Saitama to come was even easier than the Doom Slayer; we just had to travel to the One-Punch Man Universe using Zandeer's Unigate and tell Saitama that he would enjoy a very thrilling battle if he came with us.
That was all he needed to learn to come with us, then Genos, King, Bang, and Fubuki quickly decided to come to help too, and Tatsumaki didn't hesitate to follow her sister to protect her.
In the end, I take a quick look at the last group formed by 7 diverse beings standing behind everyone else.
They are the ones I've been searching for all over one of the multiverses I've visited before, to be more specific, from the Digimon Multiverse.
The ones I've successfully recruited are seven of the thirteen Royal Knights, more specifically, I'm talking about Omegamon, Dukemon, Alphamon, Sleipmon, Examon, Gankoomon, and JESmon.
Omegamon is a bipedal knight Digimon with blue eyes and equipped with white armor, and it also wears a white cape, the inside of which is red.
Its helmet has a white spike in the front and two yellow spikes in the back.
It has the combined symbol of the Crests of Courage and Friendship on its chest, surrounded by purple stripes.
It bears the Crest of Courage on the Brave Shield Omega on its left shoulder, while its left hand ends with a WarGreymon head, from which the Grey Sword emerges. The Digimoji on the Grey Sword reads "All Delete".
Its right shoulder has purple spikes, while its right hand is a MetalGarurumon head, from which the Garuru Cannon emerges.
(Image Here - Omegamon)
Dukemon is an archetypal armored knight and its body is encased all over in white armor with red parts on its pauldrons, poleyns, end of its vambraces and the ankle plate of its sabatons as well as gold trimming and it wears a huge, flowing, red cape.
Its helmet contains Guilmon's face as a crest, and it wields a circular shield called the Aegis and a huge lance called Gram.
Its cuirass and poleyns are adorned with the symbol of the Digital Hazard, its crest, gorget, and Aegis bear the Zero Unit, and the Digimoji on its Aegis reads "Digital Monster".
(Image Here - Dukemon)
Alphamon is a humanoid knight Digimon clad in heavy black armor with gold trimming.
It has the old-style DigiCore Interface of the Dorumon line on its forehead.
It has airfoils attached to its pauldrons with gold spoilers on the bottom and a smaller patch of closed spoilers along the tip, and it bears the Zero Unit on its shoulders.
(Image Here - Alphamon)
Sleipmon is a bestial Digimon with a human-like upper body and a horse-like lower body with six legs.
It has an equine face with a red mane and purple eyes, and its whole body is clad in Red Digizoid armor, which is decorated with the Crest of Destiny on its forehead and cuisses.
It has two yellow wings on its back and a long, flowing tail. The Niflheimr shield in its right hand is red and decorated with eye-like patterns, while the Múspellsheimr crossbow in its left hand is almost as tall as it.
(Image Here - Sleipmon)
Examon is a large red dragon with green eyes, large torn wings, a large tail, multiple horns on its head, the largest being its frontal horn, and its two back horns.
It has white scales in the front of its body, going from its chest to its tail.
Its hands have three fingers on each hand, three toes on each foot, and a claw on each finger and toe.
It wears gold ornaments on its claws, frontal horn, and the spikes on its wings.
It wields the "Ambrosius", a gigantic black lance, and it has many red gems on its chest, thighs, frontal horn, back horns, and the top spikes of its wings.
(Image Here - Examon)
Gankoomon is a muscular, humanoid Digimon who embodies masculinity, particularly the harsh discipline of a father.
It wears a jacket over its shoulders like a banchō, reflecting its more down-to-earth design and demeanor as opposed to the more knight-like and distant members of Royal Knights.
(Image Here - Gankoomon)
JESmon is a white-armored Digimon with a red cape that retains its color from its previous form, Hackmon.
Its limbs are all blades, and the blue circles beneath its leg swords.
The Digimoji on its tail-sword reads "FORCED TERMINATION", the Digimoji on its left arm sword reads "INITIALIZE", the Digimoji on its right arm sword reads "OVERWRITE", the Digimoji on its left leg sword reads "TRANSFER", and the Digimoji on its right leg sword reads "COMPRESSION".
(Image Here - JESmon)
With all of them on our side, I'm absolutely confident that we'll be able to overcome everything the Champion of Power will throw at us.
