One thing that characterized Allen's "adventures," or rather his tendency to get into trouble wherever he went, was that many people from different worlds were witnesses to what was happening.
Since the dolls were also participating in this conflict, the spectators not only witnessed Allen's battle, which, as usual, was on a terrifying scale but also what was happening with the villain Angstrom Levy. However, as expected, people were more concerned about Allen.
...
(Bleach World)
Orihime rushed through the front door of Allen's house, still wearing her school uniform. However, she tripped and fell.
Tatsuki walked in behind her and slapped her own forehead with her hand, "Hime... I told you not to run..."
"Ouch! Instead of scolding me, help me, Tatsuki-chan!" Orihime threw a tantrum, making Tatsuki sigh. She thought maybe she had spoiled Orihime too much, as she acted like a little girl when it suited her.
"Orihime?!"
Rukia came to the entrance to see what was happening and saw Orihime sitting on the floor with a mark on her forehead.
"Hi, Rukia-chan~"
"Hello, no, first, are you okay?"
"Hehe~" Orihime laughed, rubbing the back of her neck embarrassedly. "I'm fine~"
Tatsuki shook her head, and Rukia sighed.
...
The girls went to the living room, where the group of female Shinigami who had invaded the house were gathered. Of course, Yoruichi and Unohana were exceptions, having an intimate relationship with Allen. However, Rangiku, who was lounging on a sofa in light clothing, Soifon, who wore a maid outfit that seemed to have become her norm, Nanao, who was dressed in a sweater and pants that were suspiciously masculine, and Isane, who was watching the giant screen showing the current status of the battle, were more like guests.
"I'm glad you could all come..." said Unohana, sitting with a serious look while analyzing every exchange between the man she considered her husband and the so-called Emperor of the Universe.
"Yeah... is it okay not to inform the Kurosaki family?" Tatsuki asked anxiously, feeling bad for the mother and daughters who still thought Allen was in another country.
"We can't, Tatsuki-chan," said Yoruichi as she leaned against a wall. "Allen never even told them who he really is. Besides, telling them that the guy they think of as a nephew and cousin is in another world fighting against a monster will only worry them unnecessarily."
They all fell silent, with different expressions—some worried, others more indifferent, like Soifon.
Orihime moved to the sofa and sat while watching Allen fly through a star as it collapsed.
Orihime clasped her hands with concern, 'I couldn't fully understand you; I couldn't express what I truly felt; please... come back safely...'
A warm hand rested on Orihime's shoulder. It was Rukia, who smiled at her, "Don't worry, this fool will be fine, and when he comes back, we'll scold him."
Orihime smiled brightly, "Yes!~"
...
(DxD World)
Two beautiful girls were in a room decorated with noble elegance but with a touch of modernity. One had scarlet hair, and the other had black hair.
"What do you think, Buchou..." Akeno looked worriedly at the battle.
With every blow that shattered space, Allen and Markus exchanged blood. Although Allen was in better condition and the blows barely harmed him, seeing him bleed was indescribable.
"Allen will be fine, Akeno," Rias looked at the screen while leaning on her desk.
"But..." Akeno hugged a plushie of Allen with black hair and wine-colored eyes, wearing a special edition apron, as she looked away each time Allen took a hit.
"Akeno, you know well that he hasn't used even half of his abilities. This fight was decided from the start..." Despite her words, Rias' fingers turned white from the strength with which the scarlet demon squeezed them.
"I know that... but that man gets stronger when Allen gets stronger..." Akeno never showed weakness to anyone, not even to her best friend, who had rarely seen her like this. It was strange, an unsettling feeling. Both felt that Allen wasn't just facing the Emperor of the Universe.
Rias put her hand in a drawer and grabbed a plushie of Allen, the albino dressed as a rabbit, with concern, 'He'll be fine...'

(Dragon Ball World)
Beerus angrily shouted at the screen, "You foolish brat! You should've used the power of a Destroyer God from the beginning!"
"Beerus-sama, Allen-kun can't hear you, ho ho ho."
"Shut up, Whis! That idiot is letting his opponent get stronger!" Beerus growled.
"Don't worry, Beerus-sama, he won't die..."
"Who cares if he dies?!" Beerus crossed his arms indignantly. "I'm worried that if he dies, I won't get the offerings every month..."
"Not honest," Whis smiled, but then his eyes turned cold. "However, I didn't expect the world itself to reject Allen-kun..."
"That thing must be similar to a Destroyer God in our world. We live to maintain balance and protect it, and to eliminate anyone who threatens it..." Beerus frowned. "In a different way... to the system created by Zeno-sama, 'it' is sticking its nose into this battle to protect they world..."
"Oh, is that so? Maybe Allen's opponent is just too strong..."
"Rubbish! No matter if it's the Emperor of the Universe or whatever, my disciple wouldn't have any problem destroying him!"
Whis was surprised but then smiled, "I see, so this battle is decided~"
...
(Marvel World, Allen's Neighborhood)
Gwen's beautiful face was filled with anxiety. She left her house very early in the morning, put on an invisibility bracelet obtained from the system, and activated the new flight feature on her pendant before flying with a worried look to Allen's apartment. She could have gotten there faster using a door, but Gwen didn't want to bother the "System" in case it was supporting Allen at that moment. Besides, she didn't take long to arrive at Allen's apartment.
Upon opening the door and running to the living room, she saw a beautiful girl with red hair, her serious eyes fixed on the battle. Like the other girls, they also felt something was wrong in this fight.
Gwen breathed to calm herself and sat down next to MJ. Their blue and green eyes exchanged a glance before returning their attention to the screen.
"MJ, why is he so strong?"
MJ let out the air she'd been holding, extending her hand and grabbing all the Invincible comics.
"Markus Grayson, his power wasn't clearly stated, but he could definitely flaunt his previous name... [INVINCIBLE]"
Gwen narrowed her eyes. "It's to be expected. If he ended his story having defeated the strongest at such a young age, after five hundred years, he should be much stronger..."
"Even so, he shouldn't be able to fight Allen on equal terms." Felicia, not Black Cat, entered through the window. Her black attire highlighted her curves as she walked with feline charm to the sofa.
So far, Allen's enemies had given a sense of awe, disbelief, or fear. However, there was a trace of anxiety and discomfort when watching Markus. It was as if, every now and then, he stopped being a person.
The three girls watched carefully and no matter what the outcome was, they had to do it. It was the first time Allen had faced a world itself.
...
(Themyscira)
The beautiful and strong warrior princess Diana stopped practicing with the sword with her aunt Antiope when she received a notification from the system.
"Allen?!" Antiope was momentarily stunned; a warrior with centuries of battle experience wouldn't normally react like that. However, seeing Allen spit blood from a hit wasn't something you saw every day.
Diana felt her chest tighten and immediately went to find her mother, who should be on her throne.
...
"Mother!"
"Diana, it's rare to see you worried..."
Hippolyta knew of Allen's strength and Diana's trust in him, which was why it was unusual to see her worried. But this time, it seemed different.
Diana lowered her head. "Mother... I believe in him... so much that I'd bet my life on his victory, but I feel anxious..."
An absolute statement of trust, yet also a sign of weakness. If this were ancient times, it would be seen as dishonorable, but Hippolyta smiled at her daughter, rising and letting her golden hair flow down her queen's dress. She extended her arms to embrace Diana in a comforting hug.
"Sweetheart, you don't have to worry. No matter how impossible the enemies may seem to defeat, even if they're backed by superior forces or the world itself, Allen won't let himself die. Not until he gives me grandchildren..."
Diana laughed. Hearing her mother make a joke was the most surreal thing she could imagine. Of course, all this was because Allen had slowly washed away the eternal hatred that had been in the hearts of the Amazons.
"It wouldn't be so funny if a sister were born before a grandchild, right, Mom?"
Hippolyta froze, then frowned as she hit Diana on the head, her face turning red.
"Brat, what are you saying?!"
"Haha."
Antiope, standing at the door, felt embarrassed and a bit incredulous. She didn't want to get involved in this awkward conversation. Allen could end up being a father, husband, son-in-law, nephew, and uncle all at the same time.
"What am I thinking?!'
...
(A/N: Sometimes I worry that Allen's family tree is going to turn into a madness 🍷🗿)

(The Boys World)
Butcher threw a bag of nachos at Mother Milk.
"Hey, where's the salsa?"
"It's coming in a minute!" Frenchie shouted from the kitchen.
Mother Milk frowned. "Is Frenchie making guacamole?"
"What? Just because he's French, does that mean he can't make good guacamole? I didn't expect that from 'you', Mother Milk!" Butcher mocked without mercy.
"Oh, come on! I didn't mean it like that, you bastard!"
"I'm here!"
Hughie rushed through the door. The Boys were at Butcher's new house.
Butcher was the first to greet him. "Hey, Hughie, you're just in time! We've got nachos, guacamole, and beer. Sit down to watch the fight!"
"Hughie!" Mother Milk stood up and walked over to give him a hug.
"Huh?" He looked at everyone incredulously. Somewhere, there was a group of beautiful, grieving women. This Hughie knows because Robin called Annie to see how she was doing, and then she texted him a few minutes ago, but these bastards were treating this like the Super Bowl.
If Allen knew, he'd probably punch them all for being a bunch of assholes.
Frenchie came out of the kitchen with the guacamole. "There you are, Hughie... get ready for the best French guacamole."
"God damn, now I'm losing trust..." muttered Mother Milk.
Hughie, unable to do anything, sat down with them as they watched the battle between Allen and Markus.
"Come on, bastard, throw him a star!" Butcher shouted.
"Phew almost threw him into the black hole!" Frenchie sighed in frustration.
(A/N: Looks like Allen made some great friends in The Boys 🗿)
...
(Marvel World)
In the new Avengers building, the group of guys had a tense atmosphere as they watched the big screen, all sitting around a table.
"So, everyone understands the situation?" Tony had a serious look as he tapped the table, staring at the other Avengers. "I'm a hundred percent sure Allen will win... So I'll bet two hundred bucks on his ass!"
Thor slammed his fist on the table in disgust. "Mortal, are you trying to fool the God of Thunder?! How many chances does Allen have of losing?"
"Hulk is angry!" Hulk started to emit energy from his body.
"That's right, Tony, there's no way anyone would bet that young Allen will lose," Cap sighed and leaned back in his chair.
"I knew I shouldn't have trusted Stark," Hawkeye crossed his arms in indignation. "Is this your idea of a fair game?"
Tony pointed at them, irritated. "I pay your salaries, it's fair for me to choose my bet!"
The argument went nowhere; these bastards were supporting Allen by making bets. This should be a clear difference in attitude between the girls and the guys when it comes to Allen's problems.
Unfortunately, Allen couldn't punish them by dressing them as maids, right?
The discussion stopped soon as a chill ran through everyone. After a moment, Hawkeye proposed a solution.
"What if we bet on how long it'll take Allen to win and with which ability?"
"I was just about to say that!" Thor exclaimed, then laughed.
"HULK AGREES!"
With those words, the guys seemed to feel the dangerous sensation dissipate. Was it an illusion, or did the system hear them and would tell Allen later? Does anyone want to see Hulk and a bunch of hairy bastards dressed as maids? (A/N: Sorry if I made you imagine something unpleasant 🗿)
...
(Kung-fu Panda World)
The most beloved panda, Po, watched the screen from his room in the Jade Palace, dressed in a bunch of sports fan gear.
At the same time, Monkey, Mantis, and Crane, all with headbands, were cheering. All this equipment for sports fans was obtained from the system.
"Come on!"
"You can do it!"
"Hit him with the chair!"
Tigress and Viper couldn't believe what they were seeing. This group of idiots took away all the tension from Allen's battle, and now it looked like they were playing for the World Cup.
Viper gave the group of fools a dead-eyed look. "I'm sure the honorable one will turn them into pretty decorations for his house when he finds out..."
Tigress snorted. "He might make a panda coat and send it to him myself."
Po choked on the dumplings. "Cough... no, wait! I can explain! Allen is a great warrior, and he really wouldn't want to worry anyone about his safety. So instead, we decided to show our support!"
Viper and Tigress exchanged incredulous looks. The stupid panda just said something intelligent.
"Yes, and with the money I win from the bet with the idiots from Marvel, I'll buy him a good liquor," Mantis proudly said before Monkey put a bowl over her head.
Tigress' gaze turned cold as she walked toward them. "I think a monkey coat and a crane rug wouldn't be too bad."
"Wait! Ahhhh!"
The screams from the Jade Palace reached the Valley of Peace.
...
(DC World)
Kara finished defeating Samolon Grundy, a big guy the size of Hulk who turns out to be a zombie. He usually roams around Gotham and Metropolis.
The girl hovered in the sky while looking down at a destroyed street. It's a shame that Grundy is so strong that he can't be easily defeated, and this is the usual outcome. But now that it was over, her worried gaze shifted to a screen that was still open even during the fight.
"I know you can win..."
Kara had always felt out of place in this world. She arrived as a grown Kryptonian. Because of her good upbringing, she decided to use her powers like her cousin, becoming Supergirl. However, deep down, she never felt completely comfortable. Unlike her cousin, she lacked parents and connections, and she didn't feel at home anywhere on Earth.
That was until she found Allen. The girl was scared because she was truly starting to develop feelings for a villain, but she couldn't help it. It was just so comfortable being around that shameless villain. In the end, he turned out to be a fraud, and instead of getting angry, she laughed.
"I pray that nothing happens to you..."
Kara was a bit shy about expressing her emotions, so she hid them with bad humor. But slowly, Allen melted that layer and wormed his way into her heart. Now, she doesn't think she can call any place home except by his side.
...
...
...
A lot of emotions fluctuated toward Allen. The system, in an earlier evolution, gave him that ability. Although it was originally a tool to know if his viewers were getting bored, in moments like this, Allen could feel how much people cared for him. Even the trust they had in him, so many emotions evoked just by his existence, so many lives he had touched. At this moment, Allen wasn't alone, just like Markus was enveloped by the world, he too was surrounded by too many people.
"What a bored look, Emperor of the Universe..."
"..."
"Don't worry..." Allen smiled peacefully, his hair turning gray for a moment before returning to black. "I just felt lucky..."
"...?"
"I told you it's time to end it... if I'm honest, I don't know if I can use it for long, but we'll see..." muttered Allen.
"What are you talking about?" Markus frowned while the world's power entered his body massively.
"About something a grumpy god of destruction taught me..." A purple aura began to emerge from Allen.
