The Infinity Share Crystal floated and glowed up, increasingly bright.
"Huh?" The Makers (except the collapsed Nippon Ichi) and the Gold Third looked up.
"What? It's shining?" Ultraman Zero noticed.
Nippon Ichi open her eyes, and somehow glanced at the Infinity Share Crystal. "...huh?"
"Wait... it's taking effect!" David noticed.
Pretty much the group looked at the floating Infinity Share Crystal. The share floating went to the dying four CPUs, who collapsed down and fatally struck.
"How!?" Dark Neptune, as Dark Purple, glanced in disbelief.
Infinity Share Crystal steadily gets brighter and brighter... and then suddenly flashed, blinding the Dark CPUs.
"Argh!" The Dark CPUs yelled.
Note: In the last part, I deliberately misspelled Noire as Noir to parody and help reflect how transferring names and histories between real-life cultures tend to create inaccuracies. You means, just look at Jetstream Sam (real name: Samuel Rodriguez) from Metal Gear Riding: Revengeance with his Murasama, not Muramasa (even though the former was forged from the latter).
"What's happening?" Neptune subconsciously reacted.
"Oh great, we're being blessed!" Noire subconsciously reacted.
"How?" Blanc subconsciously reacted.
"I thought we'd die here..." Vert subconsciously reacted.
The four CPUs got restored, and is full of energy. They suddenly got back to HDD form but still wearing their (albeit also restored) clothes of their human form.
"Thank you." Neptune, as Purple Heart, thanked the group.
"How is this even possible!?" Dark Noire, as Dark Black is shocked.
"You forgot that Infinity Share Crystal can restore the goddess as well?" System No. XX pointed it out. "Travelling between timelines, stealing shares... heck, even restoring any goddess and grant them powers!"
"It's filled with all the faith and beyond from Gamindustri, so it's that powerful!" Compa revealed. "Infinity Share Crystal is that powerful!"
"How could you all take advantage of that ridiculous source, you parent-fuckers!!!" Dark Blanc, as Dark White, is enraged.
"Let's thrash those anti-consuming junks together!" Blanc, as White Heart, exclaimed.
"Gladly!" Vert, as Green Heart, responded.
"First up, we're currently wearing the clothes we had in human form. In the meantime, we got our main transformation. That is..." Purple explained the levels. "Hard Drive Divinity."/"女神化."
The four those CPUs then transformed right away, turning to Next Form.
"And this is what's known to be more powerful than any HDD state that came before it, and made of faiths beyond just CPUs. Think of it as a HDD form for all HDD stage before." Purple Heart became Next Purple. "Intuitively speaking, you can just call this the Next Form."
"Lower voice, better weapon, better gimmick, alternative armor, huh?" David noticed.
"Just wait!" Black Heart as Next Black told everyone.
"You're going to ascend the Next Form!?" System No. XX is shocked. "How!?"
"You must be bluffing right now, bitches." Dark Vert, as Dark Green, looked down as the real CPUs. "I mean, what would make you... Next Next?"
"And this...!" The CPUs in tandem started up.
"What're you doing!?" David questioned.
"...is to go even further beyond!" The CPUs shone out.
Much the group's surprise and the Dark CPUs' shock, the real CPUs are powering up, going to ascend beyond what Next Form already is. The CPUs even yelled, reminding the new Investigation Team and such of Son Goku.
"How in the Library... did you think of ascending beyond what's over!?" Binah is shocked. "I didn't think you would go so far!"
"Unbelievable...!" B-Sha is shocked.
"It's... unreal!" S-Sha is shocked. "How are they... taking the share... for that much... power!?"
"You can do it...!" Uzume cheered.
"Oh god...!" Jumpson is flabbergasted. "You're becoming the joint Son Goku of the Gamindustri!"
"Who thought the CPUs are putting out even more energy than before!?" The Origin questioned.
The CPUs yelled as they harnesses not only the shares from the Infinity Share Crystal, but the Infinity Share Crystal itself. This went on so shocking, it literally sent Gamindustri across all timelines to go to earthquake and shake them up, leading to panick across the 'verse.
The CPUs got their armor shinier and more elaborate, with larger wings: Purple got a bit darker, edgier and more shades of purple and brighter accents; Black gained (curvy) white plates, glowing blue lines and details, and the armor and the wings is a bit curvier; White added the red and blue plates, recolored the wings appropriately as well, while adding some black layer to the existing armor which has turned blank white; Green got more contrast between black and white portions of the armor, and the 'X' on the chest and the horn both lost its green color but became glowing white instead.
"Oh! My!!! Fucking!!!!! God!!!!!!!!!!" The Foundation shouted.
The shine so bright and the yell so loud and clear, it quickly cracked the crystal around the zone and across the Quantum Realm. The crystal nearby eventually not only shattered, but exploded, shocking everyone even further. The CPUs turned flash.
"It feels like the entire Gamindustri and its timelines are shaking apart!" Viola felt the shock. "What are those patrons goddesses doing!?"
"If they don't stop before the Quantum Realm breaks apart for good, the entire Gamindustri is going to be destroyed!" Hoshimatsu responded to the shock.
Even Team Baku and their alchemist 'soliders', who were investigating the Cubes' appearance, felt the shudding created by the CPUs powering up (which shaked the entire Gamindustri).
"Please!!! Somebody make it stop!" Mikoto 'Miko' Aiba yelled.
Not just the CPUs, their weapons morphed as well, adopting the color scheme matching that of the outfit and armor now. The new ascended form steadily took shape. Each CPU's voice shifted into a synesthesis of the respective CPU's previous forms' voices.
The wave of share is so great, that the Dark CPUs even struggled to transform into their gigantic true form as they're being shocked. The transformation was described by Jumpson as akin to Son Goku's first-ever Super Saiyan 3 transformation.
Then the wave subdued, with the CPUs glowing and floating up and around, showing off the ascended form to everyone else onboard. The Dark CPUs are ridiculously terrified at the very new form itself.
And then, the four CPUs that co-dominates the Gamindustri opened their eyes, revealing even more exotic version of their eyes as goddesses. The appropriate auras exuded and emanated in each ascended CPUs.
"We're sorry we took that long to transform into this." Next Purple apologized. "But we've never been able to harness the Infinity Share Crystal this way before."
"This is what we call an ascended Next Form." It's ascended Purple.
"They actually... ascended it..." The Cube Queen is in disbelief.
"We're ready then!" Ascended Black responded.
"Show us what you've got!" Ascended Green taunted.
"Your turn!" Ascended White yelled.
Note: I refer the ascended version of the Next Form (as depicted in this fiction and so on) as "ascended". Therefore: ascended Purple, ascended Black, ascended White, and ascended Green.
The Dark CPUs unleashed their full might, and bombarded the ascended CPUs with killing blows and fatal barrages. However, not only the CPUs stood without flinching, they shrugged off everything without even moving further at all.
"You're... no!" Dark Black is horrified.
The Dark CPUs repeated the same things again, and even tried the same fatal (and bloody) blows several times, and everything even point blank, but not even a scratch ensued. In short, not even Dark CPUs' killing strikes and finishing dead end have any real effect on any of the real CPUs whatsoever.
"Impossible!" The Dark CPUs is terrified.
"I only feel like being touched, that's all." Ascended White commented.
"They actually shrugged off Dark CPUs at all while doing nothing!?" System No. XX is flabbergasted. "That's absurd!!!"
"Our!" Ascended Black shouted.
The CPUs used their weapon to strike the respective Dark CPUs, and it easily does the job without the Sharing Field.
"They actually finished them in one strike, and without sharing field!" Uzume is shocked. "Unbelievable!"
"Nooooo!!!!!!!!!!" The Dark CPUs exploded violently, shattering basically all the crystals in this zone.
"Yay! They actually did it!" The warriors went yay and celebrated.
The CPUs moves down and helps the Makers back to their feet.
"Dark CPUs are done for." Ascended Purple reassured. "Now, we'll get out of this place and back to Gamindustri."
"Nepsy!" Uzume hugged Purple (Neptune).
"Congratulations!" The announcer congratulated. "You used a new possibility!"
"Damn it, that voice again!" David noticed it.
"Oh, what's wrong?" Green (Vert) asked.
David explained how the mysterious announcer that said things when he do things... like K.O., finding a major crystal, etc.
"It happened occasionally, and yet I can feel it." David concluded. "Every single time."
"Oh, so you broke the fourth wall?" Chesed questioned.
"Bruh, I never asked." David facepalmed. "But glad the CPUs came back strong."
"Is this form an achievement or something?" Black (Noire) asked. "I don't know, but this is very exciting!"
"You just used the Infinity Share Crystal, that's all." Hokma replied.
"Thanks for letting us know, old man!" White (Blanc) thanked.
"Ummm... Did you just call Benjamin an old man?" Jumpson jokingly asked.
"Don't ask." Angela slapped Jumpson. "If you directly handwave their traumas, the Sephira could have had some meltdown."
"Ok, geez!" Jumpson responded. "Anyways, the Dark CPUs was a pain in the ass, 'cause Uzume couldn't use any sharing field!"
The CPUs reverted back to human form.
"Yay!" Neptune hugged IF and Compa.
"Welcome, patron goddesses of Gamindustri!" Angela welcomed the CPUs.
"But I'm a CPU too! I'm a goddess!" Uzume complained.
"You couldn't transform... because you couldn't use the Infinity Share Crystal the same way those CPUs managed to do?" Netzach questioned.
"Damn it! I forgot to use the spare Share Crystal!" Uzume regretted.
"Don't worry. We'll get back to Gamindustri." David reassured the CPUs.
Dr. Manhattan teleported into here.
"Doctor Manhattan!?" The new Investigation Team is surprised.
"So you're stuck in the Quantum Realm." Dr. Manhattan pointed it out. "Specifically, you're stuck in its corrupted zone. The corrupted crystals around here, by the powers of the Cubes."
"Those crystalline bullshits... are corrupted by the Cubes?" The Cube Queen responded. "Hold on, wait a second..."
"How did those crystal came to here?" The Paradigm is confused.
The crystals, all from one to shattered, all activated and exudes the corruptive energy the Cubes emanates.
"These crystal... the corrupting power of the Cubes has been activated!" The Origin and the Cube Queen is shocked.
Dr. Manhattan simply teleported everyone away, while the crystals violently corrupted it out.
At the Corrupted Planeptune (which looks like a combination of Hyper Dimension and Zero Dimension counterparts with the Cubes from the Last Reality), on the top of Neptower, there's an expanded Skyblock island.
"Nelke, you're going to us." Stadia is reviving Nelke von Lestamm.
Nelke is being brought back to life, with her body and parts correctly reattached and restored. And somehow, for some reason, she's given the talent of alchemy which she never have had ever before.
"Come, Nelke von Lestamm!" Stadia chanted.
The lightning struck the spot, and Nelke is revived.
"Uhhh..." Nelke woke up.
"Welcome to the next level, noble one." Stadia started brainwashing Nelke.
Stadia convinced Nelke to protect her, and then took advantage to have the latter stop thinking the (other) alchemists as friends. Few minutes later, Nelke ended up became a supporter of Empress Zero (Genjitsu-no-Omnia), and sided with Stadia.
Unbeknownst to both, a ninja and others are filming the whole thing.
"So this is what's happening..." The ninja realized.
Meanwhile, near the Neptower...
"Why the Skyblock is trapped on top of this techy tower?" Haohmaru questioned.
"We need to get to that island on top!" Strider Hiryu responded. "Something nefarious is happening there!"
The alchemists and the three Tower Administrators caught up, having just fended off the Cube monsters.
"It's you, alchemists!" Hotsuma the Shinobi recognized them. "Why are you so wounded?"
"Those monsters tried to kill us." Marie (Marlone) replied.
"Owww..." Sophie Neuenmuller is hurt.
"Bullshit! There's an island on top?"Escha MalierandLogix Ficsario noticed the island.
Dr. Manhattan and that group teleported into here.
"Finally, sayonara, Quantum Realm!" Viola yelled.
"Who're you!?" Most of the alchemists shouted.
"Wait wait wait! We can explain!"
Everyone grouped and introduced themselves, and then discussed about this day's works so far. David revealed that there are only a (really) few surviving Loopers there, and that they alongside the CPUs are trapped in the Quantum Realm. The Dark CPUs are also mentioned, and the ascended form were described.
"Geez, how do we go up to the island?" Jumpson complained. "It's very big and freaking on the top of the tip of the freaking tower!"
"Balancing Skyblock, huh?" Haohmaru noted.
"Mr. Haohmaru, look out!" Hoshimatsu warned Haohmaru.
"What?" Haohmaru, Strider Hiryu and Hotsuma looked up.
A mechanical beast is falling from the island. It looks (kinda) like the Dark Baku.
"Dark Baku?" Marie and Shurelia recognized it. "Then we need Team Baku and the triplets!"
"Ok, I'm on it." System No. XX then contacted with Akasha Terminal. "Mr. York, Miko, Mr. Ijuin, May, Vivi, Ir-ce, Er-mi, help us!"
Note: Ir-ce refers to Iruma/Cece, Er-mi refers to Eruma/Mini. Those respectively refers to the same characters, from Cross Edge.
The mechanical looks like Dark Baku in a glance. However, as it falls, some cybernetics is revealed, with the implants made of a mech-like suit (previously Khamsin's own) with a massive rocket-poweredchainsaw axe, as well as a Ruin Guard's eye and so. The mechanical beast has a dark aura.
The mechanical fell to the ground, so hard and so heavy, the ground is very shaken and broken, knocking down nearly the whole group.
"Dark Baku!?" Everyone is shocked. "But... mechanically enhanced!?"
The beast glared with the eyes, and roared hard, scaring the alchemists.
"It is..." Yukimura realized...
It's the Mecha-Baku, the overclocked and cybernetically-enhanced Dark Baku, empowered by the Cubes.
