Overlord Belenus the Storm Hearld of change

Narration – Belenus

In the silence after loss, there is a stillness that burns deeper than fire.

Amaterasu's absence left a void in the roots of Earth Eternal. Yet from that hollowed grief, purpose emerged like molten ore from broken stone.

The Tournament of Power loomed — not a competition, but a crucible. Twelve universes would battle to prove their right to exist. Balance demanded sacrifice. But I would not offer pawns.

I would gather flames.

Champions born not just of power, but of will, compassion, and the scars that forged them.

Scene – The Astral Nexus: Hall of Eternity

Beneath the World Tree's roots, hidden in a layer of reality only Andarta could unlock, lay the Hall of Eternity — a place where time and space bowed to purpose. Here, I would call them.

Not with demands.

But with respect.

System Log – Andarta Invocation

New Protocol: Champion Integration Active

Scanning Realities: Dragon Ball Universe 7 | Earth-616 | Earth-0 | Hero Society (Earth-H) | Tempest Federation

Criteria: Power. Growth. Potential. Loyalty. Unyielding Spirit.

Cross-Universal Synchronization: STABLE

Candidate One – Goku (Dragon Ball Super)

He arrived not through a portal, but by pure instinct. The moment I thought his name, he was already there — orange gi rustling in the cosmic breeze, eyes wide with excitement.

"So this is where we're picking teams, huh?"

"About time. I've been itching for a real challenge!"

There was no doubt. Son Goku was a given. His strength rivaled gods — but his heart made him greater than any of them.

Candidate Two – Shoto Todoroki (My Hero Academia)

From the fusion-Earth's Hero Sector, I summoned him next — the prodigy of fire and ice. Shoto stepped into the Hall like a blade forged in contradiction, frost trailing his left foot, embers flickering from his right.

He bowed slightly. Quiet. Focused.

"If this world stands because of unity, I'll fight to keep it whole."

There was a storm in that boy. And I would stoke it into a nova.

Candidate Three – Barry Allen (DC, Star Labs)

The Speed Force brought him before I even finished the system command.

Barry stood panting, sparks still dancing off his crimson armor.

"Heard there was a multiverse-level crisis. You'll need someone who can break time if it breaks first."

His mind was brilliant, his heart relentless. A scientist, a symbol, a survivor. The Flash would run not just for Earth Eternal… but for all Earths that no longer had time.

Candidate Four – Wanda Maximoff (Marvel, Earth-616)

The room dimmed when she entered. Chaos pulsed around her like a heartbeat.

Wanda wore no crown, no mask. Just a red cloak and eyes that had once rewritten reality. She stepped forward without fear.

"You're asking me to protect something fragile. I've broken things before. But this… this I can keep safe."

She wasn't a weapon. She was a warning. And one I'd rather point at the enemy.

Candidate Five – Rimuru Tempest (That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime)

He appeared with a friendly wave, dressed in simple black robes, his expression open and unreadable.

"I may look cute, but I promise I hit harder than I look."

Beneath his politeness was a monster-killer, nation-builder, and a god-eater. Rimuru was fluid — adaptable, immortal, and brilliant. And in this war of realities, adaptability was everything.

Candidate Six – Kaela (Original Titan Lineage)

My bonded flame-sister. Forged in Hollow Earth beside me. She was once my rival, now my sword arm.

Her Titan form shimmered behind her human guise, every movement a ripple of atomic force.

"They took our mother. Let them try and take anything else."

She would be my shadow and my vengeance.

Narration – Belenus

I chose others too — a full ten, as the rules dictated:

Vegeta, pride incarnate.

Storm, goddess of weather and war.

Midoriya, the symbol reborn.

Doctor Fate, to balance chaos with order.

Together, we stood beneath the worldroot, ten champions drawn from the soul of the multiverse.

Ten flames against eternity.

Scene – Final Words Before the War

I looked at them — warriors from different worlds, each marked by trial.

Goku grinned, Rimuru waved, Wanda floated. Barry stared upward, calculating outcomes faster than any computer. Shoto breathed slow, focused. Kaela's hands curled into fists, glowing with rage.

"You were chosen not because you're the strongest," I said. "But because you know what it means to rise after falling."

"This isn't a game. It's a reckoning."

Goku stepped forward, slapping a fist to his palm.

"Let's give the gods a real show."

Narration – Belenus

I had gathered my champions.

Not soldiers. Not puppets.

Flames—each one a force of rebirth, defiance, and destiny.

The Tournament of Power wasn't just about survival anymore.

It was about what comes after gods fall.
