Multiverse Ranking: Starting with Yuta Okkotsu

"What a laughable law. What a cruel law."

"But in such a merciless world, it is also the only law."

The Master of the Demon Slayer Corps sighed.

Before this, he had always believed that his own world was already tragic enough because of the existence of demons.

But he had never expected that what appeared before his eyes now was the true apocalypse.

When battles between higher-ranked races could not be decided, the ones who suffered were the weak.

It perfectly reflected one sentence.

What does destroying you have to do with you?

Before the sky completely darkened, the two of them returned to humanity's settlement.

The little girl who had only just learned how to write her own name began to cry.

From this day onward, every child could only continue living alone.

An angry child questioned Riku, asking why the one who died back then had not been him instead!

Inside the royal palace.

Pain appeared in Sora's eyes.

For some reason, his heart felt incredibly heavy.

Yet this person clearly had nothing to do with him.

Riku silently returned to his room.

At this moment, he no longer needed to be watched by others, nor did he need to become the pillar supporting everyone's hearts.

His calm and cold expression instantly collapsed, and he began venting the agony in his heart like a madman!

He kept smashing the table with his fist.

He had told everyone that humanity would win, but that was nothing more than a lie to keep them from losing their courage, to make them dare to sacrifice themselves for that goal.

One Piece World.

Sengoku sighed.

There was nothing wrong with that.

But as the one forced to bear it, his heart was destined to suffer torment beyond imagination.

This young man was already doing very well.

Riku collapsed bitterly onto the ground, and the scene of him ordering Ivan to die appeared in his mind again.

He understood.

In order to survive, they had no right to choose at all.

That Demonia could clearly have been killed through schemes and traps.

But the consequence of doing so might have been discovery by the higher-ranked races.

And after that, extinction would arrive—something they had no possibility of resisting.

Soul Society.

Ichigo felt an indescribable suffocation.

This world was even more hopeless than the time when the Soul King had yet to divide the three realms.

But they did not have a Soul King.

What humanity possessed was only an utterly hopeless future.

Several days later, Riku went out alone to explore and discovered a ruin in the new rain.

But when he had entered more than halfway inside, a scalp-numbing sensation suddenly came from behind him!

He turned back, yet saw nothing at all!

But the strong sixth sense in his heart still made him choose to flee.

However, before he could move, something above the cave revealed itself and suddenly fell down!

Dust scattered. Riku collapsed on the ground, and in front of him stood an Ex-Machina girl staring at him expressionlessly!

All the information about the Ex-Machina appeared in his mind.

This was a race that acted as a collective and shared consciousness.

Therefore, if one unit found him, it meant all of them had found him.

So he absolutely had to show that he posed no threat!

Riku made no further movements, while the mechanical girl began analyzing him.

"Assessment begins. Status analysis."

"Conclusion."

Just as Riku quietly waited for what fate would bring, he suddenly saw the girl tear off the package on her body.

"Request. I cannot endure it. Please allow me to become a real woman."

As she spoke, under Riku's stunned gaze, she kissed him directly!

Outside the screen, the viewers who had originally been extremely nervous nearly choked on their own breath.

Even Aizen, who had been waiting inside Hueco Mundo for a battle analysis, slightly opened his mouth in shock.

What kind of development was this!?

It was like an enemy who had come to kill you suddenly rushing over with desire instead.

However, after one second, the Ex-Machina girl stood up again.

She muttered to herself:

"Unable to understand."

Riku instinctively replied:

"I'm not some pervert who gets excited just because you look at me."

"Question. Who are you?" the mechanical girl immediately asked.

Riku frowned and replied:

"Stop pretending. You're part of the Cluster."

The girl remained as calm as ever.

"Correction. This unit has already been disconnected."

An independent individual?

A faint gleam flashed through Riku's eyes before he returned to normal, then asked again:

"Then let me ask you this. As an Ex-Machina, why did you come looking for a human?"

The mechanical girl answered every question:

"Answer. This unit came to investigate the existence that humans refer to as the heart."

One-Punch Man World.

Genos's eyes revealed disbelief.

He could naturally tell that this so-called Ex-Machina race was a purely mechanical species.

Their outer appearance was likely nothing more than a bionic surface, and there was probably no flesh or blood beneath it.

Yet as a machine, she was actually investigating the heart.

That was something even humans themselves could not fully understand.

While Riku was shocked, the girl's eyes changed again as she continued:

"Reason. The Cluster attempted to analyze whether Ex-Machina possessed a heart. Due to excessive contradictions caused by logical conflicts, this unit was disconnected and designated for disposal."

"Since then, this unit has repeatedly conducted independent observation."

Transformers World.

Optimus Prime exhaled a breath of blue exhaust.

Without the AllSpark, mechanical thought was purely calculation.

This mechanical girl was destined not to obtain an answer.

No Game No Life World.

Shiro revealed a surprised gaze.

She discovered that this mechanical girl was the same one from the earlier ruins.

At that time, it seemed she had been calculating something after seeing Riku's actions.

So from that moment, she had already begun calculating, and had been abandoned by the Ex-Machina Cluster because of it?

How unexpected.

And at that moment, an even more absurd action appeared.

Based on her data, the mechanical girl deduced that reproductive behavior might lead to the discovery of the heart, so she reached out and prepared to strip off Riku's clothes!

Gintama World.

Gintoki's eyes immediately widened with excitement.

"Is it this stimulating?"

"Shinpachi, hurry and cover Kagura's eyes. The next part isn't for kids!"

"Hey! I want to watch too! I'm already an adult by Yato standards!" Kagura immediately retorted, expressing that she also wanted to watch the fun.

"Adult my foot, you little demon who only likes pickled kelp."

"This is exactly why none of you can find opponents! I want to eat meat too!"

"Hahaha, admit it. You're the one who likes meat the most, aren't you? You'll become corrupted sooner or later!"

Watching the two idiots argue like children, Shinpachi helplessly said,

"What are you two getting worked up for?"

"She's a machine! She doesn't have anything!"

Looking at the disappointed expressions of the two, he sighed.

Good thing this family had him.

Otherwise, it would have been over long ago.

Riku was instantly flustered and used everything he could to firmly refuse.

The Ex-Machina girl did not force him. Instead, she chose another method.

A game.

If she won, then Riku had to take her back to humanity's settlement and carry out reproduction.

And compared to an Ex-Machina with powerful calculation ability, the result between her and a human was obvious.

But this was also exactly what Riku wanted.

For him, the information and knowledge possessed by this Ex-Machina girl were an incomparably rare treasure.

Very soon, the two returned.

However, to prevent her identity from being exposed, Riku named the girl Schwi.

At the same time, he disguised her appearance so that she looked no different from a human girl.

Soon, one year passed.

This was the most relaxed period of Riku's life.

Every day, he and Schwi never left each other's sight. They chatted, played chess, and even bathed together. There was no scheming or deception between them.

Just like that, the heart he had locked away—so that he could make decisions to abandon others without hesitation—finally began to loosen.

As for Schwi, an Ex-Machina...

Although she still did not understand what the heart was, her behavior and gaze gradually began to change.

Especially when she looked at Riku, her expression was almost no different from that of a girl in love.

Naruto World.

Orochimaru revealed a look of incomprehension.

Could machines truly possess emotions?

After thinking about it, he still shook his head.

That mechanical girl's expression was merely a disguise produced after calculation.

One-Punch Man World.

Tatsumaki shook her head decisively.

"I don't believe it. How could a robot understand love?"

Genos looked at his teacher beside him. After feeling that he had someone backing him up, he still could not help retorting,

"You cannot deny it simply because you do not have it."

Tatsumaki instantly froze, then was struck speechless.

On this day, Riku and Schwi once again arrived at the place where they had first met, the previously unexplored Dwarf ruin.

Before long, the two discovered a weapons research facility.

Everything here had already been destroyed by an Old Deus.

Even so, Riku still discovered through some remaining text that this place had been researching a formula called E-Bomb.

Its power was no weaker than the Divine Marrow previously discovered in the Dwarf ruin!

In the end, with heavy hearts, the two prepared to leave.

However, outside, a terrifying storm made entirely of ash was currently raging. At a glance, it stretched endlessly, with blood-red lightning flashing within it.

One Piece World.

Sengoku revealed a trace of fear.

This thing...

just looking at it made his skin crawl.

If a storm like this swept across the sea, without the protection of an island, countless people across the ocean would probably die.

Facing this kind of weather, Riku and Schwi had no choice but to remain inside the ruin.

Amid the flickering light, the two once again began playing chess.

At that moment, Schwi suddenly asked why Riku continued playing against her even though he clearly could not win.

Over the past year, Riku had lost one hundred and eighty-two games without a single victory.

Riku looked at her in confusion.

"Wasn't it you who suggested it, Schwi?"

However, that was not considered an answer.

Because within this year, even without winning, Schwi had already handed over all the information to Riku.

The next second, Schwi once again said the words she had spoken when they first met:

"Humanity surviving until now is abnormal."

"In truth, Riku does not want anyone to die. Not the losers, and not even those who destroy others."

Riku knew that this was true, but he could not accept it.

He had sacrificed other people's lives.

He had run away and deceived himself.

He could not forgive himself.

But all of this was also humanity's only way to survive in the apocalypse. If he did not do things he himself could not accept, no one would understand him.

In such a situation, those hopes and ideals were nothing more than unrealistic fantasies.

At this moment, for the first time, Riku revealed his heart before another person. Almost pleading, he looked at Schwi and asked:

"What should I do...?"

Fate World.

Tohsaka Rin frowned slightly.

This human had asked the wrong person.

If he asked a machine that only understood calculation, the answer he received would surely be cold and cruel.

Type-Moon World.

Saber felt the same way.

Her heart clenched.

But facing a question like this, Schwi, as a machine, suddenly placed her hand over Riku's chest.

That was where the heart was located.

She said softly:

"Schwi understands Riku's heart."

"No matter what Riku does, Schwi will support you."

As she spoke, the girl smiled. Her jewel-like eyes seemed to shine with a different brilliance.

She looked at Riku seriously, with no hesitation whatsoever.

"Schwi wants to help Riku accomplish everything he wants to do."

Outside the screen, Genos fell silent.

He felt that the girl had already found the heart.
