> "When the multiverse is on fire, only one thing can save us: rhythm, sequins, and violently aggressive choreography."
— The Blank One, seconds before being forced into a glittery tank top

[Mission Briefing – System Lounge, Now with Disco Lighting]
The team sat in dread.
A glitterball hung over the conference table.
Fury stared at it like it personally killed his career.
MC (stone-faced):
> "We've got a Level-99 Essence Distortion.
A universe overtaken by a cursed rhythm game AI.
All laws of physics are rewritten into beat patterns.
If you don't dance in time—you explode.
If you dance badly—you explode with flair."
Kazuma:
> "Why are our lives an anime filler arc with no brakes?"
Rimuru:
> "Can I absorb the music?"
Deadpool (wearing leg warmers):
> "This is the greatest thing ever created."

[Location: Funkadelic Prime – The Boogie Dimension]
They dropped into a night city permanently locked in dance battle mode.
Everything pulsed to a beat.
Cars moonwalked.
Stop signs spun like turntables.
NPCs backflipped to cross the street.
Saitama (deadpan):
> "If this world had a face, I'd punch it for being this loud."
Esdeath (glaring at her sparkling uniform):
> "If anyone laughs at my glitter, I will make ice razors from their spine."
Buggy (wearing bell-bottoms):
> "I LOOK FABULOUS AND I HATE IT."

[The Enemy: DJ OmegaGroove – Outer God Remix]
Atop a 200-meter turntable tower floated a glowing figure in shades and a glittering hoodie.
> "Yo. You messed with my groove.
Time to drop the BASS… and your WILL TO EXIST."
MC (with forced calm):
> "He's infected the Core Rhythm Engine.
He's remixing realities.
We either win the dance battle… or the multiverse becomes dubstep."

[Plan Breakdown – Team Assignments]
MC: "Okay.
Rimuru and Deadpool: Frontline Disco Chaos
Saitama: Vibe Stabilizer (aka punch the beat if it goes off-tempo)
Kazuma: Crowd Control via backup dancers
Artoria & Esdeath: Duel Mode – Saber Salsa Combo

[Dance Battle Begins – With Commentary]
DJ OmegaGroove:
> "Y'all ready for the final drop?!"
Deadpool (grinding on a jukebox):
> "MY BODY IS READY!"
Esdeath (pirouetting with blades):
> "DIE WITH STYLE!"
Rimuru (twerking in slime form):
> "I'm doing crimes against motion!"
Kazuma (tripping into perfect formation):
> "Am I winning?! I'M WINNING!"
---
[Final Move – Beatbreaker Protocol]
MC cracked the final code and uploaded a virus titled:
"RickRoll.EXE"
The entire world slowed…
And began playing:
> "Never gonna give you up…"
DJ OmegaGroove:
> "NOOOO! I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE COOL!"
Saitama (punching the ground):
> "Shut up. I hate this song."
BOOM.
The speakers exploded.

[Back at System Lounge – Recovery]
Buggy (collapsed):
> "I danced so hard I dislocated my pride."
Deadpool (in a leotard):
> "New rule: every mission must include choreography."
Batman (quietly removing glitter):
> "I said nothing."
MC (completely done):
> "Next mission has no music. I swear on my last sanity pixel."
System Notification:
> "Warning: Next mission set in reverse-isekai cooking world with talking ingredients."
Everyone (screaming):
> "NOOOO!!!"
