22 Clown Crown

The next scene can only be described as a crushing defeat.

Martian Manhunter is intangible with just a thought, but he used his body to shield Batman from being crushed by Doomsday's fist, he was grabbed and thrown into a gas station as a consequence. Amid an explosion, his inhuman scream was heard, his weakness, fire, burned him.

"Was it a coincidence?" Allen muttered with a drop of sweat falling from his forehead.

He noticed that Martian Manhunter avoided the fire from Batman's bombs, but that was because Allen knew John's weakness.

'Does this Doomsday have intelligence? That's impossible!' Allen felt the situation was much worse if that were the case.

Viewers began to inquire about which comic this was. Obviously, It was "The Death of Superman," but the events didn't seem to match.

"An unknown DC world," Tony said as he drove his sports car.

With Cyborg, his defeat was easy for the monster; Cyborg's constant energy attacks had no effect as Doomsday adapted to them.

"Damn! Ahh!"

The half-machine man could only be caught and dismembered by Doomsday.

"Let him go! Ugh!"

Aquaman had great resistance but ended up on the ground and was stepped on by Doomsday, unable to do anything. If this were the sea, he could do more.

Diana, the warrior princess, along with Batman, were the last to fall. Surprisingly, it was more challenging to defeat this human in a bat suit than a super alien, but no one in the chat commented on that.

Doomsday looked at the two remaining heroes but quickly lost interest and looked away. Allen felt a bad premonition, and of course, Diana did too, so she attacked once again.

'What's over there?' Allen asked.

[It's Metropolis, a huge city.]

"That bastard..."

Diana's sword broke when facing Doomsday's fist, and she was sent flying.

Doomsday aimed for large-scale slaughter, and, of course, he would look for places with large crowds of people. His desire to massacre was so strong that he didn't care about finishing off the Justice League and immediately made a massive leap toward Metropolis.

[The destiny fragments are ready.]

In front of Allen, three destiny fragments were formed. These were formed by the defeat of the League against a virtually invincible monster.

However, Allen did not rejoice in his gain. He only watched Doomsday walk away.

...

Batman approached a badly injured Cyborg. "Cyborg, this doesn't look good."

"Nonsense, we can handle him. Ahh!" Cyborg was torn apart, but his spirit did not surrender.

"We must catch that bastard!" Diana emerged from the debris and chased after Doomsday, cursing because she knew where the monster was headed.

Allen knew he had to do his job. He should comment, respond, react, and entertain his viewers, but he couldn't use the possible death of someone as entertainment. So, he limited himself to watching in silence.

Allen used two fragments on himself and one on the system. He felt his strength increase.

[Congratulations, host. You have reached the peak physical development of a human being.]

'Hey, why don't I look muscular?' Allen asked, puzzled. Men who have reached the human peak had muscular bodies like Yujiro Hanma and Batman.

[Well, the host's genetics make him less prone to having great muscle mass, but that's just aesthetic. His strength and other attributes are not inferior to a martial artist who spent his entire life training.]

"So, my dream is impossible..." Allen was in shock, and it was so much that he momentarily forgot about Doomsday.

All his life, Allen wanted to get rid of the stigma of being thin to the point of dreaming of being muscular. But no matter how much he exercised, he only managed to tone up, and his musculature increased a little. Now he knows that even if he reaches the human peak of physical development, he will never be a giant macho.

[Host...]

'What...' Allen replied, crying without tears.

[You must accept reality. You are not a giant macho.]

'Don't mess with me! You'll never understand my pain!'

...

Diana caught up with Doomsday, but it was too late; he had reached Metropolis. Diana was an Amazon whose culture was more warlike than in the modern world.

People in the streets screamed and ran towards buildings, people abandoned their cars and sought shelter.

So, she breathed and accepted the civilian lives that would be lost fighting that monster in Metropolis.

She attacked Doomsday with her fists directly, each of her blows carried super strength. Doomsday didn't let himself be hit and returned the blows.

Diana used her vast combat experience to evade his attacks while hitting Doomsday's bone-spiked face.

GAAAAAHHH!

Doomsday crashed into a truck, but immediately he screamed angrily and counterattacked Diana.

The exchange was savage; Doomsday threw a truck at Diana, and she stopped it. The poor driver was helpless as his life was in the hands of others.

Diana lowered the truck, but Doomsday took advantage of that moment and hit her. Diana went through a building, and Doomsday caught up, grabbing her in the air by her leg and slamming her brutally and mercilessly on the ground several times.

He then grabbed her by the neck and hit her on the ground so hard that a large crater formed beneath her, destroying several buildings and streets.

Diana spat blood, something unheard of as beings like Diana and Clark rarely bled.

Doomsday was upset because Diana's recent blows hurt him. The rage-filled monster roared as he struck Wonder Woman on the ground.

Diana withstood the blows but had internal injuries and damaged organs after the beating.

Doomsday threw Diana, and she rolled through the street, crossing several cars until she stopped.

People who didn't have time to run watched in horror as one of the strongest members of the Justice League was pulverized.

Everything was being broadcast live to the DC world thanks to the reporters and, thanks to Allen, to the Marvel world.

In the Marvel world, Wonder Woman had less fame than in her world because she was only a character until this moment, but she was still loved by many.

Many people in the chat who still thought it was fake cursed Allen for creating such a cruel story with Diana.

DC is always cruel in the comics, but they rarely do the same in animations and movies.

Imagine that on your city's news, out of nowhere, a man would be seen being split in half by a monster. It's not very hard to realize that this stream quality is too real to be a fake.

For Marvel people who already passed thirty thousand on Allen's stream, it was something shocking to see, but for DC people, this was pure and cruel despair.

However, Doomsday didn't care about the viewers' feelings; he didn't care about what others felt. A monster created to be the embodiment of the end of the world had no room for sentimentality.

He walked toward a kneeling Diana to kill her grotesquely, perhaps tearing her in two, maybe tearing off her head—things that only a beast like Doomsday could enjoy.

...

Amidst everyone's fear, there was someone who wasn't afraid, she smiled as she lifted her head. "What's the matter? Is that all you've got?"

Without a hint of weakness, even with blood coming out of her mouth and nose, she smiled. A proud warrior who carries honor to the day of her death.

Doomsday's eyes sharpened, and he lunged forward, creating a shockwave behind him. He wanted to kill Diana, wanted to finish off the woman who wasn't afraid and managed to hurt him.

"This is it... I guess I won't be able to fulfill our promise..." Diana sighed with regret as she grabbed a pendant. She closed her eyes, waiting for her death with dignity. She wasn't giving up; for a warrior, death is just one more step.

"I don't know what's honorable about a glorious death. To me, death is just sad," Allen's voice reached Diana's ears.

"...!" Diana opened her eyes in shock to see a white-haired young man standing between her and Doomsday. She lost her words in amazement, her eyes filled with tears. "You're back..." the woman whispered, but Allen couldn't hear her.

Allen, on the other hand, was internally cursing himself for this stupidity.

"I don't care anymore!" Allen extended his hand.

The cursed energy he had recently obtained began to run through his body, strengthening him, but at the same time, it seemed like a wild horse ready to throw off anyone who tried to ride it.

"It's hard to control..." Allen planned to use the cursed technique he had obtained with the Iridescent ticket.

Cursed energy is a volatile and dangerous energy born of negative emotions and used by the cursed sorcerers of the Jujutsu Kaisen world.

The cursed technique is the technique that every cursed sorcerer has in the Jujutsu world.

Allen put everything into this gamble; the danger of this power lies in the warning that came with the Crimson Chest.

[Crimson-grade Chest: The user lacks sufficient capability to use the chest's contents. If used without caution, there is a risk of an adverse reaction.]

The chest contained several incredible items:

Limitless Cursed Technique: the "Limitless" cursed technique from the Gojo clan, granting control over the laws of physics and space manipulation.

Cursed Energy Manipulation: Exceptional control over cursed energy, allowing for powerful spells and techniques.

Six Eyes: Six eyes from the Gojo clan, provide enhanced perception and the ability to see cursed energy in more detail.

Cursed Technique Reversal: Can reverse the cursed techniques of opponents, nullifying their attacks and using them against them, although this isn't very useful outside of Jujutsu Kaisen.

Infinity: This can be used to manipulate space and time, making it nearly impossible for enemies to predict or evade attacks, It also avoids enemy attacks by manifesting infinity between them and the user.

Allen also obtained cursed energy from the purple chest, which was necessary to use the Gojo clan techniques at one hundred percent. While the techniques were delivered to Allen as "abilities" and could be used without cursed energy. Having that cursed energy allows Allen more control, in theory.

As for the restriction that came with the set of abilities, they could only be used for ten minutes every seven days. However, after Allen used three fragments on himself and two more on the system, this changed to one hour every four days.

Allen was about to test this live and in front of Doomsday.

The explanation took too long, but in reality, everything happened in an instant.

The monster advanced, breaking the ground, and Allen activated his Infinity.

"What?!" Allen felt that several of his organs were damaged.

As if it were a curse, the cursed energy began to lose control when activating the abilities, damaging Allen himself.

Allen looked at his left hand, and there was that mysterious white glove, also losing control.

[Host is in danger, something went wrong when the cursed technique was activated!]

"Damn it, I lost the bet!"

Allen could only see the monster in front of him a few meters away, about to kill him. However, a shadow with a feminine figure stood in front of him—Diana, who, despite her injuries, decided to protect Allen.

"How pitiful I am..." Allen murmured before losing consciousness.

...

Allen opened his eyes and was in a vast blank space, nothing else around. Allen looked at his hands and feet to check if he was dead and a ghost.

"Don't worry, you're not dead," the cheerful voice of a man entered Allen's ears. He turned to see the face of a man with blindfolded eyes and a peculiar spiky hairstyle with white hair very close to him.

"Satoru Gojo?!" exclaimed Allen, surprised.

Of course, he knew the manga and anime of Jujutsu Kaisen. Although he had only seen the anime, he knew the man in front of him well.

"It makes me happy to be recognized by you... Allen Walker," Gojo smiled.

"How do you know my name?" Allen looked suspiciously at this man, as it was very strange that he appeared there, although Allen didn't know where he was either.

"Who knows... hehe well, let's put that aside," Gojo sat on the floor and gestured for Allen to sit as well.

"Well, I guess I'm dead..." Allen smiled ironically as he sat.

"Why are you smiling?" Gojo asked seriously.

Allen realized his action and stopped smiling. "It's an old habit, I smile in the face of misfortune and tragedy... because I made a promise."

"Allen..."

"Hm?"

"You're going to die... it's an unavoidable fact."

"I thought it would work..." Allen said, sighing.

"The moment you used the Six Eyes, and the Limitless technique, you lost control of your cursed energy. That's contradictory because the Six Eyes should give you perfect control, but..."

"I'm not Satoru Gojo... "

Gojo pointed to the glove on Allen's hand. "You should thank your arm; it controlled the cursed energy and prevented you from dying instantly."

Allen touched the glove with a smile. "Thanks..."

"Allen, why go to such extremes? You knew you couldn't control that power."

"It was just an impulse... and I didn't want to see Diana die..." Allen replied, embarrassed but unrepentant.

"Hehe, men like you have it tough. Dying for a woman is an ending worthy of a clown. That's why I never gave a chance to a woman, although I'm very popular~"

"Who are you calling a clown?!" Allen grumbled, annoyed by Gojo's attitude.

"Allen," Gojo remained silent for a moment. "I am the strongest."

"I know..." Allen knew that Gojo didn't say it out of arrogance; it was a fact in his world.

"I am the strongest, but I often fail..." Gojo sighed and looked at the white sky. "I didn't protect Amanai, I couldn't stop Suguru..."

"..."

"It's strange... I am the strongest, there's no doubt about that... but I get sealed, and with that, Nanami dies, Nobara... Yuji... Megumi..."

"..."

"I am the strongest, but it seems I can't save my students, subordinates, and friends... it's weird. I am designed to be invincible but people keep dying around me... of course, since I lost against Sukuna, that invincible part is in doubt, hehe."

"..."

Gojo became serious. "Allen, my power can't protect. First of all, I'm not a good person. I don't care if innocent people die in my fights as long as it's not too many people."

"..."

"My power could be a curse for you... just using it can cause a lot of destruction. I'm afraid that when you accidentally kill an innocent, you'll break. Still, do you want it?"

"At first, I was happy to have a system. I thought it would be an incredible story where everything would be exciting..." Allen smiled with dim eyes and remained silent for a moment. "But I just realized that I could die, and someone I care about could be killed in front of me."

Allen slammed his fist on the ground in frustration "This isn't National Geographic! It's unpleasant being a cameraman and feeling helpless!"

"...You're not helpless; you just had the misfortune of coming to such a high level of danger as a beginner," Gojo stood up. "You are as I thought. It's okay, Allen; I'll teach you."

"Huh?"

"This will be intensive and infernal training because there's not much time. No matter the talent, an ordinary person couldn't master my Limitless cursed technique in such a short time, let alone the correct use of all my techniques. But you, Allen Walker, even now after so long, should still remember it. It's engraved in your soul on how to fight."

"What do you mean?"

"It doesn't matter... ah! One thing before we start, call me sensei~"

Allen rolled his eyes but agreed. "...I'm counting on you, Gojo sensei."

"Hahaha," Gojo laughed heartily.

"What's so funny?! You told me to call you that?!" Allen was annoyed by Gojo's childish behavior.

"It's funny because technically, you're my senpai hehe~."

"Huh?" Allen was confused but had no time; he would call Gojo "father" if that would help.

...

People screamed in both worlds DC and Marvel; the fist was about to impact a severely injured Diana and Allen.

It seems like an eternity but in truth since Allen's intervention it was only a fraction of a second

RAAAAAAAAHHHH

With a terrifying roar, the monster unleashed all its strength in this attack, breaking the sound barrier several times.

People held their breath, and many prayed for Superman to appear.

Diana clenched her teeth to stop that attack, but the impact everyone expected never came. Instead, the sound of Doomsday stopped.

Diana saw an arm covered with a white trench coat and white gloves beside her head, sensing someone behind her.

"Thank you for helping me, Miss Diana."

The calm voice of a young man came from behind Diana. She turned and saw Allen; his eyes were beautiful like a bearer of the Six Eyes, but they remained silver and didn't turn blue like Gojo's.

"Allen..." Diana murmured with some weakness, but there was another mixed feeling in her response. In return, Allen smiled.

Doomsday couldn't believe it; no matter how much force he applied, he couldn't advance and kill the insects in front of him.

"You're pitiful but also a monster. I won't show mercy. Clown Crown!" The glove, which had formed a white trench coat for Allen and now extended everywhere, created translucent walls covering the buildings with people inside.

Diana saw a small red light in Allen's hand.

"Don't worry, sensei, with the help of the clown crown, I don't have to worry about killing innocents. Aka (red)!"
