"The Cube Queen..." The Zero looked at the mirror in the bathroom, sticked with an image of The Cube Queen. "Before, I used to be one of your reliable portal opener."

"Now, because you failed to keep the Cube King and then invade the wrong reality..." The Zero then looked at the image. "I'm fed up with your nonsense."

"Oh, Jonesy. You didn't even notice me when I watched you." She then looked at the images of Jones, Doctor Slone and Ariana Grande. "And how dare you throw me out of the loop, Ariana and that Doctor!"

"Look at me. I've hopped between countless realities and acquired so many powers." She looked back at the mirror. "Because of those ridiculous complications you've proceeded in that island, Zero Point deserved it."

"It's personal." The Zero then left the bathroom, not knowing that Saint Advent of Happiness was hiding and has been recording everything all along.

"Look around, girl, I see what you think." Saint Advent got up and escaped.

That evening...

"Hello, pizza delivery here." A pizza delivery man appeared in front of the main door to Lakewood Plaza Turbo.

"Hello there. Here's your money." Kaio O. Kincaid approached, took the foods and paid the money. "But..."

"What?" The pizza delivery man is confused.

"You look similar to the... uh..." K.O. seems like he recognizes Saint Advent. "Z-BLUE told me about him."

"Wait... what?" The pizza delivery man is shocked.

Turns out it's Saint Advent as a pizza delivery man.

"How do you..." Saint Advent is shocked.

"Wait... You're Saint Advent of Happiness!?" K.O. is similarly shocked.

"Mr. Kincaid, we need talk." Saint Advent then entered the Plaza Turbo.

Inside the Plaza Turbo...

"I was mistaken to seek such godhood." Saint Advent explained his story. "I should have never tried to control the Supreme God that way."

"I was left broken for an extra 120 millions years at the end of the day." Saint Advent continued. "Those damn bastards are right."

"How did you come to seek godhood?" K.O. asked.

"I was exiled by the other Angels in a previous cycle after the Supreme God destroyed itself." Saint Advent explained. "And then, the Helios became a "gift of mercy" from Doctrine."

"As such, when they needed the Helios back to revive the Supreme God, the Angels welcomed my return." Saint Advent continued. "However, I ended up desiring to take control of the Supreme God."

"Oh well... So you became evil because of the Supreme God?" K.O. asked.

"After my and its defeat, I both spent 120 millions years in shock and regret." Saint Advent added. "Once I returned. I yearned for interaction and redemption for real this time."

"Then Dreikreuz stumbled upon the Supreme God and swooped in." Saint Advent continued.

"Rand, Setsuko, Asakim, Edge and Az does have some infos about you." K.O. knows about them. "They are the ones against you, right?"

"You know them!?" Saint Advent is surprised.

"What do you know about Empress Zero?" K.O. asked.

Saint Advent simply took the recorder and played the recording of Zero looking at the bathroom mirror. (Audio transcription ensued)

"This matches some of the description of Miss Amaterasu's understanding of that backstory..." K.O. commented.

"I hid in the bathroom so she couldn't see me." Saint Advent explained how he did it. "She didn't notice me at all."

"Good. We'll show Miss Amaterasu and her servant this audio." K.O. takes the recorder.

"I've even recorded a couple of other audios, that's relevant as well." Saint Advent revealed.

"By the way. I'm K.O." K.O. then gave Saint Advent his hero card. "Level 100."

"Actually, I'm not from your world." Saint Advent takes the card. "But thanks."

Saint Advent then left with the pizza delivery and the money. "See ya."

"So the Saint Advent has reformed..." K.O. commented. "Time to report."

Meanwhile, at Shinra HQ...

"Hegemonies, we have some nice thing to talk about." Chizuru gathered the Hegemonies.

"Miss Urashima, what's the matter?" Ren Fuji asked.

"I've optimized the Record of the Throne without even changing its content." Chizuru reported. "This is to circumvent the theft of the Throne, as well as to bring full power to you."

"What!?" The Hegemonies is shocked.

"This optimization is as powerful as the real Throne itself." Chizuru explained the feature. "If you want your power, just awaken."

"Wait... Your words don't make sense..." Mercurius is confused.

"Damn..." *facepalms* "I just failed to elaborate, so..." Chizuru is confused. "Record of the Throne is basically an archive that allow the current god to invoke and use the previous gods' laws, albeit normally only temporary and only within their own realm."

"Needless to say, due to the Thrones immense power and capabilities, it was difficult for us to make optimizations thereof." Chizuru continued. "Then there's the archive of the Eight Heavens, normally weaker than their true counterparts, but still have the trait of being universal laws."

"We had to stabilize your powers to overclock the archive, so it can reach the powers, capabilities and potential of the true laws from the Throne itself." Chizuru added. "The Sensory is taken advantage of as well, without changing any of the laws' respective contents. And no added confliction whatsoever."

"We could do anything out of our laws anytime?" Reinhard asked.

"You should be able to." Chizuru reassured.

"Thanks." Marie thanked Chizuru.

"And if you're worrying about the reliability, don't worry." Chizuru reassured again. "It has been verified by the Celestials on our side."

"What about the Living Tribunal?" Hirume asked.

"Overriding with laws?" Chizuru warned the Hegemonies. "It is controllable, so tell him not to directly interfere, or else your laws will bypass his."

"That one time, when Kouha summoned you guys, you're usually weaken than you originally were." Chizuru lectured the Hegemonies. "This is due to the way Kouha, and by extension, Mitra's, power works as her understanding of yourself affects your power, and since you all have such alien and difficult to grasp mindsets, you guys end up weaker as a result."

"However, it's possible for such to work the other way around, as Kouha can also end up making you all even stronger than you originally were, or even bring up ordinary humans from your worlds to your level." Chizuru continued lecturing. "The caveat for that you, Hajun, is that your nature causes a constant feedback loop, similar to when you still had the tumor, albeit not to as an extreme extent as originally was, that causes you to constantly gain power regardless of Kouha's input."

"Too long, don't read..." Mercurius facepalmed with the fourth wall cracked.

"But I haven't told you the team name of Empress Zero!" Yomi shouted.

"Yomi?" Hirume is confused.

"Her name is..." Yomi tried to reveal.

"Hey, you!" A woman with scientist coat and feather dress appeared.

The Hegemonies looked at the woman in suspicion.

"Are you the woman who interfered with Smash?" Magsarion asked the woman.

"Yes, how did you know?" The woman confirmed to be Angela/Carmen. *blinks her eyes so it's both yellow*

"I wanted to be alone in the end, and you interfered!?" Hajun then stared at Angela.

"Someone recorded Empress Zero's own words." Angela revealed about the recording. "I felt it."

"Don't get away with it!" Hajun choked Angela. However, Angela escaped thanks to her deck.

"I'm impressed that you'd be able to escape the fully-powered Evil-" Magsarion is impressed.

"Muzan, watch out-" Satanael tried to warn Magsarion, but both is knocked away with Angela's spell.

Ren Fuji simply "froze" the time and turned Tenma Yato.

"Empress Zero is a lunatic, not a savior." Ren Fuji told Angela.

Then he choked her and resumed time.

"Argh!" Angela struggled to escape, but her deck is stolen by Satanael.

"Interesting book she's got." Magsarion commented. "Let's report that to the Shinra."

"She shall go to the cell." Satanael decides to have her in jail again.

Angela is put back into the same CODE Level 1 cell.

"No book and no deck for you." Mitra told Angela. "You can't escape without your book. Good luck."

blinks eyes, turns it red* "Please, help me!" Carmen begged.

"More suspicious than ever." Mitra then left.

Meanwhile, at KOF Stadium...

"Crystal get!" The announcer exclaimed.

"What's that voice again?" David briefly saw through the fourth wall.

"Who left this crystal in this so obvious of place?" Lucy wondered.

"It's a trap!" A mysterious voice.

"Sounds like Nahida..." David recognized the voice. "Kusanali, the Lesser Lord, the Dendro Archon?"

"Kusanali was the new form of the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, the previous Dendro Archon." Lucy noted.

"Exactly." Nahida confirmed. "But how do you know so much about me?"

"Scanning the different worlds and learning from its infos without visiting it directly." David replied. "By the way, why a trap?"

"The enemies is targeting you now." Nahida replied back. "You just fell into their grasp."

Lucy then immediately scanned the entire surroundings.

"It started fogging..." Lucy observed. "The red fogs, and..."

"The Dark Hour it is!" David noticed.

"You figured it out." Nahida commented. "This voice you're hearing is as far as I can help you here. Goodbye."

"The vice stopped..." Lucy noticed.

"How the hell? It isn't even midnight yet!" David noticed the anomaly. "S.E.E.S. only experienced it in midnight!"

"Fight!" Dark Kahn swooped in.

"Dark Kahn!?" David and Lucy dodged.

"Those Riders and those Rangers busted us all." Dark Kahn said. "But I got the Infinity Stones!" *shows off the Infinity Gauntlet...*

But despite being aesthetically normal, it's not a normal Infinity Gauntlet. Each of its slots can hold several of the same Infinity Stones each, allowing for wielding multiple sets of Infinity Stones (and then some if there's more Stones). Dark Kahn currently wield three sets alongside the all-New-Era-empowered crown he had since first meeting David.

"You're among the ones who tried to kill us at Night City!" David recognized Dark Kahn.

"You remembered!?" Dark Kahn is surprised.

"That crown!" Lucy pointed at the crown.

"And I feel like this premature Dark Hour is thanks to the Reality Stone..." David realized.

"Exactly!" Dark Kahn confirmed. "Here, you fight or you die!"

"Look! It's a cyberpunk!" A participant of KOF tournament is running toward David.

"Uhhh..." Another participant of KOF tournament yawned while going.

"Two fighters and two cyber-people..." Dark Kahn counted. "Is that it?"

"Damnit! We and they... wait a second..." David looked at the participants. "Who?"

"Oh, it's you, a cyberpunk. And his... netrunner friend?" Non-sleepy participant get to know.

"David Martinez from Santo." David introduced himself. "Edgerunner from Night City. That friend is Lucyna Kushinada."

"Who are you?" Lucy asked both participants.

"I'm Shun'ei. That sleepyhead is my usual teammate, Meitenkun." The participants are introduced.

"Hi... David..." Meitenkun greeted David.

"Dark Kahn is trapping us with Dark Hour." Lucy revealed the situation. "It's hours before nighttime, let alone midnight, and yet..."

"I see. This is very unusual." Shun'ei replied.

"What do you expect?" Dark Kahn asked. "Shadows will hunt you down."

"You asked for it, stranger." Shun'ei engaged his astral hands. "Let's fight!"

David activated Sandevistan to put up against Dark Kahn, and Shun'ei goes for with his martial arts and his astral hands. Meitenkun went to assist both.

"Fight! Fight like it's destiny!" Dark Kahn then tries to fend off everyone.

Lucy shoots Dark Kahn with her pistol to distract him if any other were on the verge of a massive blow. Dark Kahn not long afterwards has have it and used the Infinity Stones.

"Will you fight against the Infinity!?" Dark Kahn then fired the beam towards Shun'ei.

"Watch out!" David activated Sandevistan pushed Shun'ei out of the way, saving him.

"I'll doze ofd afterwards." Meitenkun then stealth stroke Dark Kahn in behind.

Dark Kahn then choked Meitenkun with the hand without the Infinity Gauntlet.

"Meitenkun!" Shun'ei saw it.

"Damn! You've got to be kidding us, chooms!" David is frustrated.

Lucy then used her monowires, trying to cut the hand with the Infinity Gauntlet off so anyone else could steal it.

"What!? How!?" Dark Kahn is shocked.

"Stand this!" Shun'ei then combos the specials out Dark Kahn, saving Meitenkun and knocking off the crown.

"Here!" Lucy then pressured the monowires, slicing that hand off.

David activated Sandevistan and removed the gauntlet, stealing it.

"My extra powers!" Dark Kahn cried as he loses those powers and Shun'ei beating him up. "No!"

"It's over!" Shun'ei then finishes off Dark Kahn. The latter then finally exploded into gibs, physically leaving an unconscious Darkseid and an unconscious Shao Kahn.

"We did it!" David is happy. "Now we can snap the finger and remove the Dark Hour!"

David then wears the Infinity Gauntlet, and the various surges of energy all followed into him.

"This is more than normal complete set!" David handles the Infinity Gauntlet. "Triple Infinity!"

Meitenkun woke up. "What's going on?"

"We beat that monster and stole the Infinity Gauntlet." Shun'ei explained.

"Snap that finger!" Lucy told David.

Soon, David snapped the finger and activated the Infinity Stones. It restored the KOF Stadium and completely undone the Dark Hour. But afterwards, David bleeded through cyber-load and is very exhausted. He fell down, unconscious.

Morning, day 15...

"Ugh... did I do it?" David woke up.

Laugh* "You did it." Yu Narukami replied. "Last night, I heard that story from theae 'KOF' fighters."

"David, you're awake!" Shun'ei responded.

"Yeah... I'm pretty good." David reassured. "Just some fixing, and I'll be back in action."

"The reports have been heard, and the Justice Leagues has arrived." Yu revealed.

"Nice thing knowing that." David is pleasantly surprised. "Tell the Avengers about Justice Leagues' arrival."

"Sure." Yu Narukami then left.

"And got another crystal for us!" David exclaimed."

"See you later." Shun'ei then left.

David is in hospital bed for a while, with Lucy back to his world's moon again.
