Multiversal Selection 2 My Hero Academia Inazuma

As soon as Inazuma passed through the blue portal, everything went white. Suddenly, he was no longer running—he was sitting in a chair, with a familiar figure seated opposite him.

Beneath them was a small, pristine white floor upon which their two chairs were situated. Beyond that, an entire universe unfolded before his eyes. Trillions of stars, cosmic storms of various colours, and explosions erupted all around them. As Inazuma looked closer, he saw black holes forming and supernovas occurring in an instant. It was as if he were witnessing a chaotic mixture of time itself—some cosmic structures remained still, others changed at a visible yet slow pace, while some transformed instantaneously, releasing an immense amount of energy.

"Sorry about the confusing visuals, by the way. I've been doing some renovations since the last time you came through here," Jason said, watching another star vanish within seconds.

"Renovations?"

"Ah, yes, of course. You have no idea what your suicidal attack did, do you?" Jason replied, turning around.

"Suicidal?"

"Exactly. Unlike the other times I joke with Karna or you about dying—where you only reach a near-death state from which you can recover—this time, you were completely dead. Although… you can blame part of that on me," Jason admitted, his tone turning serious, which slightly startled Inazuma.

"What do you mean, 'part of your fault'?" Inazuma asked sceptically.

Jason sighed and began explaining.

"Kid, both I and the universe I'm creating are just a few million years old right now. In cosmic terms, that's practically the zygote stage of a human birth. I had only just begun forming fundamental forces to balance and shape reality within my universe. Meanwhile, your universe and Karna's universe were kind of like gifts from other multiversal beings—beings so powerful that they don't mind losing a few universes here and there. Since I'm young and without a mentor, they were kind enough to help me."

"Why the hell don't you have a mentor?"

Jason groaned at the question.

"Don't even get me started, kid. It's better if you don't know. Anyway, let's focus on your situation. When you were vibrating Wolfram, you expected to do it like the Flash, right? Where he just thinks of a universe while shifting between dimensions, and boom—he arrives there just like that in a blue portal?"

"Yeah," Inazuma nodded, recalling how he had envisioned a deserted place in his mind, hoping the dimensions would guide him there where he can safely land the explosion that was about to happen because of the overloaded Wolfram.

"That was suicidal. It would have worked if you were in any other multiverse created by the more experienced beings. But here, in my zygote multiverse? Not a chance," Jason said, taking a sip from a cola cup that had appeared out of nowhere. "Let me explain how the gap between universes in the multiverse actually works. Contrary to what most people think, the space between universes isn't empty—it's filled with a glue-like energy, which we'll call 'gap fluid' for now since no one else has named it yet. This fluid ensures that all these separate universes remain connected, forming a complete omniverse under my control—or any other multiversal being's control."

Inazuma listened intently, understanding the weight of the knowledge being shared with him. This was fundamental, cosmic-level truth—something only a handful of beings in the universe would ever know. He was one of the first to hear it in this omniverse as he was lucky to be hit by the truck.

"This gap fluid's job is to hold these universes together. But you have to understand—almost no two universes are identical. Even the most similar ones have minute differences that make them unique, even if their inhabitants don't consider those differences significant enough to be classified as a difference, for the fundamental forces, those minute changes are heavy, you can consider it as a butterfly effect.

To manage this, the gap fluid has an adaptive property, making it as close to omnipotence as possible—though it's still far from my level of omnipotence," Jason explained, his gaze following another star's destruction.

"The Speed Force, in a way, can slightly bend the gap fluid for its own purposes. When speedsters like you travel through it, the Speed Force takes the location your thoughts are focused on and manipulates the gap fluid, creating a portal to your desired space and time within the multiverse essentially being one of the easiest mode of travel if you are a speedster or you know one who is and is willing to help you."

Then Jason turned his full attention to Inazuma.

"But the problem, kid, is that there are only four things in my existence right now. The budding universe that's supposed to be my core, the Fairy Tail universe where I sent Karna, the My Hero academia universe where I sent you, and a subsequent parallel deviation of the original My hero Academia canonical universe. But all of these are connected by my power—not by the natural presence of gap fluid, which is a phenomenon that should exist to hold multiverses together."

Inazuma processed all of this before asking,

"So… where did I end up?"

"You ended up in the pure gap, kid. Not in between universes, but in pure nothingness—where even time doesn't exist. Both you and Wolfram were completely frozen, unable to move, because even the fundamental laws of motion don't apply there.

Thankfully, because of that, nothing actually happened to you. But since existence itself is absent in the gap, you would have remained there for eternity—essentially becoming a concept of death even more extreme than any other death imaginable."

Inazuma's face paled as the ramifications of what had happened sank in. If Jason hadn't pulled him out, he would have been trapped there forever—no reincarnation, no afterlife, no heaven or hell. He and Wolfram would have been nothing more than frozen statues, lost to the void for all eternity.
