"Wait, so we've got 32 members now? Just four more and we're full! I wonder what'll happen once we hit full capacity...?" Xiao Yan suddenly remembered something.
"Maybe the truth behind this shared space — and even how we ended up crossing worlds — will finally be revealed?"
Aizen's curiosity was clearly piqued.
"That will be interesting..."
Pirate Renzo rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"Maybe the original Renzo made us as clones," Eevee said his idea.
Hermione gave him a sideways glance. "Aren't you even a little worried that he might end up merging all of us into one?"
"What's there to worry about?"
Pirate Renzo shrugged it off. "Like that is even possible. Every one of us is so different that we can't merge even if we wanted to."
Hermione paused, then nodded. "Good point. Still... I hope when the truth comes out, it won't be something too soul-crushing."
She was a little uneasy, but not overwhelmingly so.
The Renzos had gone back and forth on this topic more than a few times already, and none of those debates had ever led to any solid answers.
"My problem is more important... mastering all 18 elemental forms is way harder than I thought."
At that moment, Eevee leapt onto the table, sat down, and sighed.
He'd thought his current power level was already on par with Arceus, but fully mastering the fundamental laws of all 18 elements? That was proving way more complicated than he'd imagined.
"You should be proud of yourself. You're already well on your way to becoming 'Arcevee.' At least you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, right?" Marvel Renzo spread his hands.
"Meanwhile, I'm stuck in limbo. Making any progress on my end is a nightmare."
Uchiha Renzo turned to him. "Speaking of, what's going on in your world? Isn't Thanos showing up soon?"
"Yeah," Marvel Renzo nodded. "Right now, we're past Avengers 2 and Thor: Ragnarok. I already have the Reality and Power Stones. Things are moving fast. I'd say I've got a few months, tops."
"Good," Uchiha Renzo said. "Let him show up sooner. Easier to deal with him that way — plus we can snag the Soul Stone while we're at it."
"I've got a feeling," Marvel Renzo said with a grin, "once I get my hands on the Soul Stone, Takamagahara is gonna undergo a huge transformation. Just wait for it — you guys are in for a surprise."
Right now, he already had four Infinity Stones in hand.
He even made a replica of the Time Stone and stuck it in Takamagahara to temporarily stand in for the real one — and it was working well enough for now.
After all, the fake still held a decent amount of time energy. It just wasn't infinite.
His counterfeit skills were top-notch at this point.
He'd left fake versions of the Power and Reality Stones back where they were supposed to be — and fooled everyone.
"Now that's what I like to hear. Looking forward to it!" Pirate Renzo raised an eyebrow.
"+1!" someone added.
Everyone was excited, all chiming in one after another.
After that, they went back to chatting about recent updates and developments in their respective worlds.
Each universe was progressing smoothly in its own way.
In the Harry Potter world, Hermione was now officially the most powerful witch alive. She had forcefully united the entire wizarding world and kickstarted a full-on magical revolution.
She'd brought new glory to magic — paving the way for a very different future.
Of course, she also held significant influence in the non-magical world. She wanted to unite both worlds and eventually make magic public, but that was a long-term goal—something that had to be approached step by step.
...
In the Gundam world, hundreds of habitable planets had been discovered, and large-scale human migration had begun. They'd officially entered the era of space colonization.
Of course, during this process, they also came into contact with other interstellar civilizations.
Thanks to the high-tech (and borderline black-tech) upgrades they'd gotten from other Renzos, the Earth Federation had no fear of being exposed — they were too advanced for that.
If anything, it was the other civilizations who should be afraid.
Thankfully, the Earth Federation wasn't on a conquest spree — they'd already established diplomatic ties with several other races and even gained useful tech and resources through those relationships.
A solid win-win.
Of course, not every encounter went smoothly. Evil or hostile civilizations were wiped out the moment they showed their true colors.
...
The Apocalypse world was also thriving.
After decades of hard work, the near-extinction of humanity (outside of the zombie-like beings) was now a thing of the past.
And with help from Apocalypse Renzo and his many girlfriends, humans there had launched themselves into space exploration — already building their first colonies.
...
In the Star Wars world, things had reached a breaking point.
The Jedi Order had completely severed ties with Palpatine, and the Galactic War had entered a brand-new phase.
Thanks to Renzo's early warnings and preparations, the Jedi had managed to keep control of the clone armies.
Palpatine, meanwhile, had joined the Separatist Alliance (CIS) with a massive following of supporters, teaming up with Dooku and others to continue their battle against the Republic.
Back in the Republic, they weren't sitting idly by either. On one hand, they were systematically waging war against the Separatists; on the other, they were actively cleaning house—rooting out internal corruption, restructuring their government, and pushing reforms across the board.
They were even reorganizing the Jedi Order itself.
The Chaos Force method had started spreading, rapidly boosting the strength of the Jedi.
It was clear that Yoda, Mace Windu, and the others weren't idiots or old-fashioned relics — they'd accepted Renzo's full strategic plan and were now steadily transforming both the Jedi Order and the inner workings of the Federation.
They were using the chaos of war to quietly pull off a once-in-a-lifetime revolution.
...
Over in the ninja world, Uchiha Renzo's world, he had finally received the coordinates for the Otsutsuki homeworld from Kaguya.
Without wasting time, he was already on his way there.
...
As for Superman Renzo in DC, life was pretty chill. He continued living it up on Earth like some kind of carefree demigod.
But at one point, Batman did try to pick a fight with him — but got completely wrecked and walked away humbled.
That didn't stop him, though. Bruce went right back into the shadows, secretly cooking up yet another anti-Renzo contingency plan.

Ultraman World — Land of Light
Snapping out of the mental space, Ultraman Renzo slowly opened his eyes. Power surged through his body like a tidal wave, and he couldn't help but grin.
"Oh yeah, let's see you keep showing off now, Zero! Heh!"
Zero had always made him feel a bit inferior — that guy was practically a walking cheat code. His growth was absurd, and while Renzo wasn't exactly weak, the gap between them had been painfully obvious.
But now? Now his own 'plug-in' had finally arrived.
He was ready.
BOOM!!!
Suddenly, a deafening explosion shook the entire ground beneath him.
In the distance, sounds of fierce battle erupted like thunder.
Almost instantly, the alarm sirens across the Land of Light went off.
Turns out… Belial had broken out of his cosmic prison — and now he was invading the Land of Light.
"Well well well... just in time! Let's see what I can really do now."
Renzo stood up with a smirk, cracked his knuckles, and shot into the sky, heading straight for the action.
At that moment, the OG crew — Original Ultraman, Ultraseven, Zoffy, Ace, Jack, and Taro — were all locked in an intense battle against Belial.
"Guillotine Shot!"
"Emerium Beam!"
"Comet Kick!"
"Hahaha! That's all you've got?! You really think this weak crap can stop me? Go to hell!"
Even though Belial was being ganged up on by several top-tier Ultras, it wasn't doing much.
None of them could hold a candle to him.
Sure, there were Legendary-class Ultras in the Land of Light — like the Father of Ultra — but he was still recovering from some serious internal injuries, which had weakened him considerably.
And as for the Ultraman King? No one knew where he was right now — he definitely wasn't around.
Belial was going all out, and it showed. He was cutting through the Ultra warriors like butter, knocking them back one by one, leaving them battered and bruised.
And all the while, he was slowly advancing toward the Plasma Spark Tower.
His goal was obvious — take the Plasma Spark for himself.
"This isn't good! We've gotta stop him somehow!"
"Damn it! When did he get this powerful?!"
"Where's the Ultraman King?! Isn't anyone strong enough to stop him?!"
As the battle dragged on, more and more Ultras began to lose hope. No one could even last one proper round against Belial.
"Dimensional Slash!"
Suddenly, out of nowhere, Renzo appeared behind Belial, raising a hand and slicing straight at his back with a powerful spatial attack.
"Shit!"
Belial's danger sense flared up the moment Renzo arrived. He didn't even think — just reacted, twisting his body and raising the Ultimate Bracelet to block the hit.
BOOM!
The slash slammed into the weapon, and although Belial managed to block it, the impact was so intense it blasted him through the air like a ragdoll.
"What the hell was that?!"
"Wait, Renzo?!"
The Ultras — Seven, Original, Zoffy, and the rest — all froze for a moment, completely stunned.
Wasn't that that brat Renzo?
When did he get this strong?
