Mysteries of the Convergence
The Convergence was a strange event in the pages of human history itself. Many scientists around the clock have been trying to make sense of it all. Why did it happen? What was the cause? Who is responsible for it? How could it have happened? When did it occur? All of these questions left mankind with almost no answers.
What has been confirmed was that it took place in the summer of 2020, but before then, strange signs were found in 2019 with descriptions of spatial and temporal distortions forming around the world. When it happened, eyewitness reports claimed that there were several singularities that then burst as soon as they formed and collapsed. The shockwaves were enough to cause earthquakes. The Earth grew exponentially and was displaced from where it originally was and became surrounded by multiple moons that all resemble Earth's Moon, save for a few exceptions. Multiple land masses formed in huge gaps in the ocean. People and buildings from other worlds materialized out of nowhere and soon enough, there was chaos.
Humanity was pushed onto the roadmap of extinction as humans, ghouls, and all meta-humans were forced to live in a world they were not familiar with. There was conflict between them. There were witch hunts, killings, beatings, and a series of crimes that left scars on humanity. Humanity was divided. The Grimm began to descend upon the world by the thousands. There was so much chaos that most people in the Collapse thought it was the end of the world. There was so much hatred, so much anguish, so much pain and violence, so much death and destruction that the Collapse was said to have been the most destructive and violent event in human history.
Many atrocities were committed across the world. People who had magical powers or other supernatural abilities were persecuted while those with supernatural abilities believed themselves to be superior to humans and attacked innocent people in response. Mankind slowly began to lose its humanity. Hope was beginning to die as discontent and despair began to thrive. No one felt safe in such a terrifyingly chaotic world. The people of the world lost hope. There was only violence and death.
But, just as when all hope seemed lost, All Might, the Symbol of Peace, had returned from retirement. No one knows how his Quirk came back as it had given out after his fight with his archnemesis, but it was a miracle for mankind when it did return. All Might and Endeavor worked side by side, banding people together and gathering many heroes to bring an end to this dark age. With the aid of the TSAB, the Kingdoms of Remnant, the Hunter Association, the World Government, Academy City, and other organizations who were dedicated to bringing back peace and justice to the world, a global effort was made to bring humanity out of the darkness of the Collapse and into the dawn of a new age. They brought back hope and later, order was restored. Peace returned, and many heroes became legends in some of the most famous moments during the Collapse.
General Ironwood, Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, Roy Mustang, Jotaro Kujo, Isaac Netero, Lord Death, Shiny Chariot, and many others made their names known across the world in moments such as the Great Counterattack in which the world fought back against the Grimm. Then there was the Battle of Academy City, the liberation of Vale, and many others.
Of course, sacrifices were made along the way. Soldiers who were willing to risk their lives for mankind, heroes who would risk their own lives for the lives of civilians, huntsmen and huntresses fighting for the sake of the world.
To commemorate the lives who sacrificed themselves for the sake of mankind, the World Hero Academy was born. The World Hero Association was formed. The fortress city of Kiseki-Mirai was built. And now, a new generation of heroes were being forged.
The world was truly never the same after the Convergence went and gone.
But the mysteries of the Convergence remained unsolved, even to this day. Even as humanity seeks to find answers to these mysteries. These mysteries came in the form of things that came after or before the Convergence.
Before the Convergence, there were strange spatial and temporal distortions that were filled with sterile neutrinos. They vanished since the Convergence. After the Convergence, there have been reports of people having dreams that involved a white sphere hovering over a garden. Some had nightmares about a shroud of darkness and a being of shadow suffocating them. It has been theorized that these dreams might be some kind of cryptic message from some higher power or that these dreams were some kind hallucination. Then there was the Shard. It was called that because of its shape, which was like that of a shard that originated from a planetoid. It was found somewhere in Kazakhstan. No one knew where this thing came from, but it was affecting a nearby forest, corrupting it with some kind of energy that wasn't of this world and was rather paracausal in nature after a spectral analysis was conducted. A local tribe of Ainu were found near the Shard by a few kilometers, and they don't seem to be negatively affected by it. Instead, they seem to be faring just fine being near it. They have however, seem to think of the Shard as a piece of something they refer to as the Gardener of the Sky. Over in space, the TSAB have reportedly sighted a moon that had a tendency to appear and orbit around planets before disappearing, only to reappear over another planet. They called this moon Moon X. The TSAB launched an investigation on the moon itself, hoping to understand why this moon was acting the way it is. They have considered it to be some sort intelligent being, or perhaps even a vessel with some kind of purpose. Until then, there is no way to tell whether the Shard, Moon X, or the dreams have anything in common with each other.
Another mystery wrought by the Convergence was the emergence of a civilization known as the Ateas. The Ateas were an alien race of humanoids that are noticeable by their bluish-grey skin, luminescent eyes, and pointy ears. Other than that, they looked human with the exception for the ears being pointy. Not much is known about them, but their empire has been found on the asteroid belt in our solar system. They claim to be from a pocket universe and have only come out of it to expand across the asteroid belt. Their home in our solar system is called the Reef, a debris field in the asteroid belt filled with ships that were some reminder of an age long since past before the Convergence. They seem to possess some form of psionic powers and abilities. The live under the rule of their reclusive Queen Siass Sulan. Their Queen was rather enigmatic when it came to her actions. It was hard to tell if she didn't want to be enemies to mankind or was willing to make an alliance with humanity, especially considering that her kind have been observing the planet Earth. For now though, the Ateas don't seem to interfere with the affairs of the people of Earth. They keep their secrets away from others, making their intentions difficult to predict. Females had longer ears while males had shorter ears. The lifespan of the Ateas is said to be ten times longer than humans. Their technology far surpasses those of humans by several centuries ahead and have proven themselves capable of interstellar travel. No one, not even the TSAB knows how they came to be.
The Convergence and its origins are also a mystery, as no one knows how or why it happened in the first place and whether or not it was even natural. Was it caused by some higher power? Was it a result of a laboratory accident? No one can say for certain what it's origins are. Some believe that maybe the Convergence was some kind of experiment. Some believed that it was a trial by fire to see if humanity could work with people who were different in more ways than one. Some believed that it was supposed to be an extinction level event that was now halted ever since mankind banded together once again. Some believed that forces beyond imagination were the cause of the Convergence.
Will we ever know the true nature of the Convergence and the many mysteries surrounding it? Will we ever find the answer to these questions? Perhaps one day, we will know, and when that day comes, we will be ready for the answers.
A/N: I'm sure you guys may be asking what the Convergence is and I'd tell you to read the Prologue that gives a short explanation about the Convergence before diving into this. Now the point of the chapter is to get you guys thinking about the Convergence because I realized that not everyone was talking about it. When I first conceived the idea of this crossover, I imagined a world where pretty much the entire universe is a an amalgamation of universes (including our own) put together by some sort of event. That event being the Convergence. I wanted to sort of wanted to pique your interest on the topic because that way, I would know more about what you guys think about the Convergence. I wanted to focus more on the world with his chapter as opposed to another chapter focused on one character or a group of characters. Remember, it's not The World of Heroes if we're not talking about the actual world it all takes place in. Feel free to talk about the Convergence and let me know what your thoughts are on this chapter. If you have any interesting theories about the Convergence, let me know.
Until then, stay safe out there.
