"So you're also just a normal guy?"
Dungeon Hajime looked at his modern self with disbelief.
What kind of multiverse meetup was this? Weren't they supposed to be some kind of superpowered variants?
Even if he hadn't fought yet, he at least had the Falna—a system for growth.
But the other two? Just average humans?
"Wait a second—if you're just a regular guy, then how come the power I received from you isn't something a normal human could possibly have?"
He waited for an answer with suspicion.
"Hmph, I may be normal for now, but that's just temporary!"
Modern Hajime smirked proudly.
"The world I transmigrated into? A place where you can gain divine powers and rise to the top in one move!"
"A world like that?"
Dungeon Hajime asked, intrigued.
There weren't many worlds that fit that description, but there were a few.
"It's the Campione (God Slayer) world!"
Modern Hajime revealed with a grin.
"The one where if you kill a god, you steal their divine authority and become a Campione—an unstoppable god-slayer!"
"Hissss—"
Dungeon Hajime took a sharp breath.
Campione. A world where defeating gods gave you their powers.
If there were ever a shortcut to overwhelming strength, that was it.
But… killing a god wasn't exactly easy.
"You're not seriously planning to challenge a god right away, are you?"
Dungeon Hajime gave his modern self a half-pitying, half-admiring look.
"You're braver than I thought. If you die, I'll make sure to light some candles for you."
Killing a god took more than power—it took luck.
Still, considering the power now circulating in their shared space… maybe he wasn't bluffing after all.
Using this newfound power to fight gods?
That was practically impossible.
Hajime from the Campione world knew full well that, as a transmigrator, he didn't have a protagonist's plot armor.
Sure, underdog victories might happen occasionally—miracles do exist.
But to stake everything on luck?
That would be plain foolish.
Bold? Maybe.
But definitely suicidal.
"Come on, seriously?"
Campione Hajime rolled his eyes at his counterpart.
"You think I'd be dumb enough to pick a fight with a god without a cheat? Now that I do have a cheat, there's no way I'm gonna gamble my life!"
"Now that's more like me."
Dungeon Hajime nodded in understanding.
Someone like him, who played ultra-passive in battle royale games and only moved in the final zone, would never go charging in recklessly.
"So then, what's your plan? Wait until more versions of us arrive, until we've outpowered the gods, and then make a move?"
That strategy was slow, but definitely safer.
"Not necessary."
Campione Hajime shook his head.
"With the power we have now, and as long as everything goes smoothly—gods are nothing. We could crush them with a flick of the wrist."
"A plan, huh..."
Dungeon Hajime leaned in with interest.
"Alright, we've all introduced our worlds. Now can you finally tell me what this plan of yours is?"
"And also... if both of you are supposedly normal humans, then whose power did I just receive when we synchronized?"
He was deeply curious about both their so-called plan and the powers flowing inside him.
They were ordinary people, yet speaking boldly about annihilating gods like it was nothing.
To say something like that, you had to have serious confidence.
And Hajime knew himself—he wasn't someone who made empty boasts.
So these two predecessors must have come up with something crazy.
"Let's start with the power in our bodies,"
Campione Hajime began without hesitation.
"Actually, before you got here, anotherHajime had already entered this space. He's just not here right now. The power you feel is from him."
"The world he transmigrated to is Fairy Tail. That Hajime grew up learning magic and is a full-fledged wizard."
"Fairy Tail?"
Dungeon Hajime nodded slowly.
"No wonder I suddenly know all these magic techniques—light magic, giant magic... Those are Makarov's signature spells!"
"Exactly."
Tiga Hajime smiled.
"In Fairy Tail, we were trained by none other than Master Makarov. My specialty is light-element magic."
"And that ties in directly to our grand plan."
"Our plan is actually pretty simple,"
Campione Hajime said with confidence.
"First, Tiga me becomes a Giant of Light—Ultraman—gaining Ultra powers."
"Then, once we share that Ultra power, I'll use it to kill a Heretic God and obtain divine authority."
"Lastly, we all enjoy the ridiculous power boost together. Easy."
"Wait a minute!"
Dungeon Hajime raised a hand.
"I have one major question: how exactly are we going to become Ultraman in the first place?"
Without the ancient warrior gene, how were they going to transform?
Ultraman's power could destroy entire planets—gods couldn't even compare.
But the real problem was becoming Ultraman in the first place.
If that step didn't work, the rest of the plan was meaningless.
"Becoming Ultraman? That's easy."
Campione Hajime looked smug.
"As long as we can become light, we can become a Giant of Light!"
In the final episode of Ultraman Tiga, children became light and merged with the giant.
In Episode 1, Daigo also awakened the
Ultraman by becoming light.
So the logic followed: as long as you became light and had the stone statue, you could inherit the power of the Giant of Light.
"But how do we become light—wait..."
Dungeon Hajime suddenly caught on.
"Are you saying... the Fairy Tail version of me is going to master light transformation magic, come to the Tiga world, and literally become light to awaken the Ultra giant?"
"Heh, smart kid."
Campione Hajime grinned proudly.
In the Fairy Tail universe, once elemental magic is cultivated deeply enough, elementalization becomes possible.
Laxus once turned into lightning to travel.
So, Fairy Tail Hajime could likewise achieve full light-elementalization with enough effort.
"Using fantasy magic light to trigger sci-fi Ultraman transformation..."
Dungeon Hajime opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
After a moment, he sighed:
"You guys are insane... but kind of genius."
