The sun over Tokyo was doing its best, but it couldn't compete with the radiance of Gojo Satoru's ego. He was currently strolling through Roppongi, balancing a bag of limited-edition Kikufuku mochi on one finger while Megumi Fushiguro walked three paces behind, looking like he was contemplating a career change to "literally anything else."
"I'm telling you, Megumi-kun," Gojo chirped, his voice smooth and utterly infuriating. "The key to being a great sorcerer is high-quality sugar. It's like fuel for the brain! You're too moody because your glucose levels are depressing."
"My mood is fine. Your presence is the problem," Megumi muttered, his eyes scanning for curses.
"You know, my dear student, you should smile more," Satoru teased, his Six Eyes scanning the flow of cursed energy in the crowd—mostly just background noise. "You're going to get wrinkles before you even graduate."
"Focus, Gojo-sensei," Megumi sighed. "We're supposed to be checking the reports of the grade 2 spirit near the station."
Gojo was about to deliver a 10-minute lecture on why he should go take desserts instead, but his Six Eyes suddenly twitched. Usually, the world was a map of cursed energy, atoms, and heat signatures. But right now, a transparent, neon-blue interface had just slapped itself across his field of vision.
[SYSTEM INITIALIZED: WELCOME TO THE MULTIVERSAL LOUNGE ]
[ NICKNAME ASSIGNED: INFINITE_SUGAR_DADDY ]
"???"
Gojo stopped dead in his tracks. He poked the air. Nothing. He checked for cursed energy. Nothing. It wasn't a technique. It wasn't a domain. It was... just a blue screen.
"Huh," Gojo grinned, his blindfold crinkling as he tilted his head. "Megumi, did you just see a screen call me a Sugar Daddy? Because if that's a prank, it's a 10/10."
"A what?" Megumi stopped, looking at his teacher with a mixture of exhaustion and genuine concern for his mental health. "There's nothing there. Gojo-sensei, if you're trying to get out of the report by acting insane, it's not working."
"No, seriously! It's blue! And it says I'm infinite!" Gojo laughed, his fingers dancing in the air as he realized the screen was interactive. "Ooh, there's a chat box. Let's see who else is in this 'Lounge'."
[The Multiversal Lounge - Chatroom]
Forehead_Prince: I don't know what kind of pathetic trickery this is, but show yourself! Kakarot?! Is this another one of your idiotic schemes?!
Gojo stared at the first message in disbelief. Is this really serious? And what's with the nickname? He felt that his day was about to become very interesting. He had to introduce himself courteously.
Infinite_Sugar_Daddy {Administrator}: Hello everyone~ I am Gojo Satoru, the strongest, the best and the most handsome teacher~! First of all, you're rude. Second of all, who is Kakarot? Does he sell vegetables? Because you sound like you need a snickers, Princey.
Forehead_Prince: DO NOT ADDRESS ME SO FAMILIARLY, YOU INSOLENT TRASH! And what is this "Sugar Daddy" nonsense?! I am the Prince of all Saiyans! I will erase you and whatever planet you're hiding on!
IcyBreasts_Empress: Erasing planets? Bold words for a voice in a box. If you can truly do that, perhaps you'd be a fun toy to break. But I suspect you're all just illusions from a Teigu.
Pop_Star_Sparkle:Waaah! Is this a secret fan-chat?! Hi everyone~! I'm not sure how I got here, I was just heading to the studio! Is @IcyBreasts_Empress a new rival idol? The name is... uh, very bold! (〃▽〃)
Dogs_Queen: I've checked my surroundings. This isn't a projection or a devil's power. It's embedded into the consciousness. "Infinite_Sugar_Daddy," where are you located? And why are you tagged as an "Administrator"?
Everyone was surprised by this statement. To be honest, Gojo himself didn't know; was his charisma really so powerful that even this thing recognized him?
Infinite_Sugar_Daddy: I'm in Roppongi, Tokyo! Just bought some mochi. You guys should come over, though I have a feeling the commute might be a bit... multidimensional. For your question, I think I'm so amazing that I've been appointed administrator, awesome isn't it~?
Dogs_Queen: ...
Among all these people, there was one who didn't understand any of the terms mentioned. And she frowned very much.
BoobaSword: Tokyo? Roppongi? These are not names found within the Seven Nations. Is this a trick of the Abyss? I have attempted to strike this "window" with lightning, yet it remains. It is an insult to Eternity.
Sadistic_Thundermommy: Ara ara~ so much tension. We have a Prince, an Empress, and a Suggar Daddy~? This is quite the high-class party. I'm just glad I'm not the only one capable of using "Thunder". @BoobaSword, maybe we can compare sparks later?
BoobaSword: I do not associate with Mommies.
There was one person in particular who was literally going crazy amidst this mess.
Forehead_Prince: "ADMINISTRATOR"?! Are you telling me that a fool who calls himself a "Sugar Daddy" has authority over a Prince?! System! I demand to speak to whoever is in charge! I will not be part of some interdimensional shit daycare!
Infinite_Sugar_Daddy {Administrator}: Daycare? Ouch. I'm a teacher, Princey~, but my students are way cooler than you. And honestly? "Forehead_Prince" suits you. I can practically feel the glare reflecting off that massive hairline from across the multiverse. Is it a landing strip for your ego?
Forehead_Prince: YOU—! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO YOU ARE MOCKING?! I HAVE DESTROYED ENTIRE CIVILIZATIONS FOR LESSER INSULTS!
IcyBreasts_Empress: Oh? A planet-destroyer and a teacher. What a bizarre collection of souls. @Infinite_Sugar_Daddy, if you are the "Administrator," surely you can do more than just talk. In my world, those in power prove it through subjugation. Can you even make this "Prince" kneel?
[SYSTEM NOTICE: Administrator "Infinite_Sugar_Daddy" has muted "Forehead_Prince" for 60 seconds. Reason: Noise Pollution.]
Pop_Star_Sparkle: ...Oh.
IcyBreasts_Empress: ...Fair enough.
Sadistic_Thundermommy: Oh my. That's quite the dominant move, Gojo-kun~
Infinite_Sugar_Daddy: Right~? Can you feel that, guys? That's the sound of a Prince screaming into a void where nobody can hear him. It's poetic, really.
Pop_Star_Sparkle: Wait, wait! Is this "Administrator" thing like being a Discord mod? (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶) Gojo-san, if you're the boss, can you change my name? "Pop_Star_Sparkle" is cute, but it's a bit generic for an idol of my caliber! 🌟
Dogs_Queen: @Infinite_Sugar_Daddy. You mentioned "Mochi." A very specific Japanese sweet. And "Tokyo." If we are in different worlds, it's curious that our languages and certain cultural markers overlap. Either this System is translating our thoughts, or we are more connected than we realize.
Infinite_Sugar_Daddy {Administrator}: Smart girl. I like the way you think, @Dogs_Queen. You're much more composed than the Prince over there, who I assume is currently screaming at a wall.
Inside the Gravity Chamber at Capsule Corp, the air was thick, heavy enough to crush a tank into a pancake. Vegeta stood in the center, sweat pouring down his face, his muscles bulging under the gravity room's effects. He had been ready to unleash a verbal Final Flash that would have deleted this "Sugar Daddy" from existence.
He swiped at the holographic window floating in front of him, his fingers trembling with rage as he typed out a response that would have made Frieza blush.
"I WILL GRIND YOUR BONES INTO DUST AND SCATTER THEM ACROSS THE COSMOS, YOU INSOLENT, BASTARD FOOL—"
He smashed the "Send" button.
[ ERROR: YOU ARE CURRENTLY MUTED. ]
[ TIME REMAINING: 48 SECONDS. ]
Vegeta's eyes nearly popped out of his skull. A vein on his forehead throbbed so hard it looked like it was trying to escape his face.
"WHAT?!" he roared, his voice echoing off the reinforced walls. "Muted?! ME?! The Prince of all Saiyans is being silenced by a pop-up window?!"
He tried to type again. 'UNMUTE ME THIS INSTANT OR I WILL DESTROY THIS ENTIRE SECTOR!'
[ ERROR: YOU ARE CURRENTLY MUTED. ]
[ REASON: NOISE POLLUTION]
[ TIME REMAINING: 35 SECONDS. ]
Vegeta let out a guttural growl, his aura flickering gold for a split second before he forced it back down. He wasn't just angry; he was bewildered. He had scanned the room for hidden technology. He had flared his Ki to see if it would disrupt the "illusion." Nothing worked. It was as if this chatroom was etched into his very soul.
And the worst part? He had to sit there and watch the chat continue.
IcyBreasts_Empress: A wise move. A warrior who cannot control his temper is nothing more than a beast. Although, I am curious about his claim of "destroying planets." Is that a common feat in your worlds?
Dogs_Queen: In mine, a devil capable of such a thing would be the end of humanity. It's likely a boast. Men like him often use grand words to hide their lack of control.
Sadistic_Thundermommy: I don't know~ his "energy" felt quite... intense. Even through the screen. I think he might actually be able to back it up. Which only makes it funnier that he's currently sitting in the corner in time-out.
Pop_Star_Sparkle: Do you think he's okay? He seemed really, really mad. I hope he doesn't break his phone! (ó﹏ò｡)
Infinite_Sugar_Daddy {Administrator}: Oh, he's definitely not okay. He's probably vibrating right now. I'd bet a year's supply of mochi that he's trying to punch the air.
"I AM NOT PUNCHING THE AIR!" Vegeta screamed at the ceiling, despite the fact that he was, indeed, currently cocking back a fist to smash the air where the chatbox was hovering.
He stared at the countdown. 10... 9... 8...
"Just you wait," Vegeta hissed, his eyes narrowing. "Gojo Satoru... I will find a way to travel to this 'Tokyo' and I will show you exactly what 'Infinite' feels like when it's being crushed by my boot."
He prepared his fingers. He had the perfect comeback. A soul-crushing, pride-restoring masterpiece of an insult.
3... 2... 1...
[ MUTE LIFTED. ]
Forehead_Prince: LISTEN HERE, YOU UNMITIGATED DISGRACE TO WARRIORS! I DON'T CARE IF YOU ARE AN "ADMINISTRATOR" OR THE KING OF YOUR PATHETIC PEBBLE OF A PLANET! THE MOMENT I FIND A WAY OUT OF THIS BRAIN-PRISON, I WILL MAKE YOU CRAWL!
Infinite_Sugar_Daddy {Administrator}: Aaaand he's back~! Welcome back, Princey~! Did you have a nice nap? It was so quiet and peaceful while you were gone. I almost finished my mochi in total tranquility. 🍡
Forehead_Prince: I WAS NOT NAPPING! I WAS ENDURING THE DISHONOR OF BEING SILENCED BY A COLORFUL BOX! AND YOU—! "LANDING STRIP FOR MY EGO"?! I WILL HAVE YOU KNOW MY LINEAGE IS ONE OF SUPREME POWER!
Infinite_Sugar_Daddy {Administrator}: Yeah, yeah, royal blood, planet-busting, we get it. But honestly, if your forehead is big enough for the System to make it your permanent ID, you should probably stop being so defensive~! It's a bad look for a "Prince."
IcyBreasts_Empress: The beast returns only to bark again. How disappointing. @Infinite_Sugar_Daddy, you mentioned being a teacher. Do you always treat your subjects with such mockery? In my empire, such insolence would be rewarded with a slow death in the tundra.
Infinite_Sugar_Daddy {Administrator}: "Teacher," not "Dictator," Empress. There's a difference! Though, to be fair, my students think I'm annoying too. It's part of my charm~!
Dogs_Queen: @Infinite_Sugar_Daddy. While the Prince was... indisposed, I was thinking. You have the "Administrator" tag. Does that mean you have access to information about us? Or are you just as blind as we are to the nature of this "Chat"?
Infinite_Sugar_Daddy {Administrator}: Honestly? I'm just winging it. I was just walking, saw the blue screen, and noticed I had a "Mute" button. Naturally, I had to test it on the loudest person here. Purely for scientific purposes, of course.
Pop_Star_Sparkle: Scientific purposes?! That's so cool! 🧪 It's like a social experiment! But maybe we shouldn't mute people just for being loud? I mean, my fans scream all the time and I think it's sweet! (mostly!)
Forehead_Prince: I AM NOT A FAN! I AM THE ONE WHO IS FANATICAL ABOUT YOUR DESTRUCTION, BASTARD!
Sadistic_Thundermommy: Ara ara~ The Prince is so energetic. I wonder if that stamina translates to other areas~? But back to the point, @Dogs_Queen is right. If this is a multiversal group, what is the goal? Surely we weren't gathered just to watch a teacher bully an alien.
BoobaSword: A "Multiverse"... It implies a collection of worlds. If "Tokyo" is not in Inazuma, and this "Prince" comes from a race of "Saiyans," then the threat to Eternity is greater than I imagined. System! I demand an explanation. Why am I here?
Satoru leaned his back against a brick wall, his thumb hovering over the interface. He could feel Megumi's eyes boring into the side of his head—the kid was probably seconds away from calling a mental hospital—but Satoru couldn't bring himself to care.
This is way too high-stakes to be a prank, he thought, his Six Eyes analyzing the structure of the blue window. It was like a layer of reality that had been pasted over his vision.
If these people are real, Satoru grinned, then being 'The Strongest' just got a lot more complicated. And a lot more fun.
Infinite_Sugar_Daddy {Administrator}: @BoobaSword, "Eternity" sounds a bit boring, don't you think? You need some chaos in your life! Like me!
BoobaSword: Chaos is the enemy of the Shogunate. It is the rot that leads to erosion. I have no need for your "fun."
Forehead_Prince: I agree with this person for once! This "fun" is a waste of my training time! If I can't fight you, this chat is worthless!
IcyBreasts_Empress: "If I can't fight you." Exactly. A warrior's true language is steel and blood. @Infinite_Sugar_Daddy, if you are the master of this domain, give us a way to test our strength. Or are you afraid your "Infinite" title is just a bluff~?
Infinite_Sugar_Daddy {Administrator}: Afraid? Me? Empress, I'm the guy who brings a knife to a gunfight and still wins because the bullets are too scared to hit me.
Dogs_Queen: A bold claim. I wonder if your "Infinity" is literal or metaphorical.
Pop_Star_Sparkle: Wait!! Look! The screen is changing! Something new is popping up! ✨
[ SYSTEM MESSAGE ]
[ TASK 1: THE VIBE CHECK ]
[ Objective: Each member must share one "Concept" from their world. ]
[ Reward: 100 System Points]
Forehead_Prince: "POINTS"? What am I supposed to do with points?! Can I buy a way to punch this bastard in the face?!
Infinite_Sugar_Daddy {Administrator}: If you save up enough, maybe you can buy a new hairline, Baldi–, I mean, Princey~.
Forehead_Prince: WHAT DID YOU ALMOST CALL ME?!
Infinite_Sugar_Daddy {Administrator}: Nothing! Nothing~! Anyway, a "Concept," huh? I'll start. In my world, we have "Curses." They're born from human emotions like fear and hatred. I spend my days exorcising them because they're ugly and they ruin the aesthetic of the city.
Dogs_Queen: "Curses" born from emotions... That sounds remarkably similar to Devils... Interesting. In my world, fear gives life to monsters. The more a name is feared, the stronger the entity.
Sadistic_Thundermommy: We have Devils too! But they're more... social? Some of them are quite handsome, though they can be a bit troublesome for my Rias-sama.
IcyBreasts_Empress: In my world, we have "Teigu." Ancient weapons of immense power. Mine allows me to control the very essence of ice. It is the only law that matters: the weak die, and the strong survive.
BoobaSword: I am the Raiden Shogun. I use the power of Lightning to purge the land of those who would disrupt the path to Eternity. And you are disrupting that path.
Pop_Star_Sparkle: My concept is... "Lies"! 🌟 In the world of idols, a lie is a form of love! We tell the fans we love them, and we work hard to make that lie become the truth!
Forehead_Prince: WHAT KIND OF PATHETIC NONSENSE IS THAT?! "Lies"? "Idols"? My concept is POWER. The power of the Saiyan race! We grow stronger every time we are pushed to the brink of death! We are the ultimate warriors of the universe!
Infinite_Sugar_Daddy {Administrator}: Growing stronger by almost dying? Sounds like a lot of work. I just stay strong all the time. It's less stressful for the skin~💅
Forehead_Prince: I AM LITERALLY GOING TO BLOW UP THIS ENTIRE GRAVITY ROOM WITH YOUR DAMN FACE!
Infinite_Sugar_Daddy {Administrator}: Please don't. I'm starting to like having a Prince as a pet. He's so reactive.
Dogs_Queen: @Infinite_Sugar_Daddy, you're playing with fire. If even half of what he says is true, you're taunting a monster.
Infinite_Sugar_Daddy {Administrator}: Oh, I know. But you see, @Dogs_Queen... I'm the biggest monster of them all.
Sadistic_Thundermommy: Fufufu, I like this. It's like a cage of lions, and we're all just waiting for the first one to bite.
Eternal_Purple_Battery: This conversation is beneath me. I shall return to my meditation. System, remove this "Sugar Daddy" from my sight.
[ SYSTEM MESSAGE: USER "INFINITE_SUGAR_DADDY" CANNOT BE REMOVED. ]
[ REASON: ALL USERS ARE BOUND BY THE MULTIVERSAL CONTRACT. ]
Infinite_Sugar_Daddy: HA! See? Even the System knows I'm the main character~!
Gojo let out a loud, bark-like laugh, causing a businessman to stumble out of his way.
"Gojo-sensei, please," Megumi hissed, his face turning red. "People think you're having a manic episode."
"Megumi-kun, you have no idea," Gojo replied, his fingers flying across the holographic keyboard. "I think I just found a group of people even more dysfunctional than the Jujutsu Higher-Ups. And that," he grinned, "is saying a lot."
"I'm going back to the school," Megumi said, turning around. "Tell the air I said hi."
"Don't be like that! You're missing the part where the alien prince starts typing in bold letters!" Gojo laughed, following his student while his fingers flew across the blue interface.
