5 Years Later
"Attention, everyone. The spirits have struck back once again. We have lost track of the princess, and now we face yet another grave threat that endangers our nation. If any of you encounter this male spirit or the missing princess, do not approach them. Stay away and immediately report their location to the nearest authorities. AST and DEM forces will ensure their elimination, once and for all."
The female reporter's sharp voice echoed from the television before the screen suddenly went dark, silenced by the press of a remote.
A soft click, followed by silence. The one holding it, a girl with long light-blue hair that cascaded down her back lowered the remote with an expressionless face.
She turned her attention to the man who was sipping his wine leisurely.
"Why don't you hide your face, Khan? It would be very dangerous for you if you are spotted by humans." She asked with concern.
"None of the spirits ever hide their faces anyway." Khan shrugged. "How many fans can you control directly, Miku? Rather than waiting for them to strike, let's destroy AST and DEM directly."
After he bid farewell to the past Miku, he directly went into the canon timeline. Now, Miku had matured a lot and the timeline had also changed a lot.
Unlike her canon self who was lesbian and perverted, this time, she was brainwashing her fans because of her narcissistic feeling of being in control, and she used her fans' power to build a huge network to search for him and Kiana. Unfortunately, she found nothing until he decided to appear in front of her himself.
"Liar, you said you are from the future, but I found nothing about you. Who are you, Khan? Who is Kiana too? Where is she?" She glared at him.
"But we didn't talk about that." Khan reminded her.
"I know..." She murmured softly. "But I also need answers."
"Well, we are really from the future, but we are also not from this world. The multiverse is vast, there are some worlds with themes of fantasy, ancient worlds, mythology worlds, devil and angel worlds, and things like that. Maybe you will also meet someone who is the same as us too, a cosmic traveler being." Khan answered.
"Can I go to those worlds too?" She asked with a yearning look on her face. She had to admit this world was boring, being hunted and forced to hide her specialness was unpleasant.
"You can, but for now, I want to clear this world first." Khan answered directly.
"Why?" She asked with a confused look on her face. After all, in her opinion, Khan and Kiana had no deep feelings or bonds with this world, so why should he go as far as to linger longer in this boring world?
"Do you believe it's because I like to conquer the world?" Khan answered in a joking tone.
Miku studied him in silence for a long moment before speaking her thoughts plainly.
"You don't come across as someone who is deeply attached to that." Miku said her opinion honestly. "To be precise, you strike me as someone who doesn't care at all. Your eyes are telling everything, they're detached and empty."
Honestly, he was surprised that she could see through him, after all, in anime, she seemed dumb, but reasonable, after all, the protagonist itself was dumb, and if the protagonist wanted to conquer heroines, it needed to dumb down their intelligence too. Otherwise, the whole premise would fall apart. That was the unspoken rule
Author is God, after all, if the author willed it, logic didn't matter, the power of the pen is omnipotent in novels and anime.
"It's to create the perfect world for her, you should know who she was." Khan finally said.
"Kiana?" Miku asked unsurely.
He shook his head. "No, it's the worst spirit, Kurumi. She wanted to create a utopia world for spirit and human, and I made the best strategy for all of us, to make sure that dream comes true."
Miku's brows furrowed deeply. "Don't you already have Kiana? Isn't that… cheating?"
Her voice was tinged with accusation, because from her point of view, the relationship between Khan and Kiana already seemed solid, almost perfect. Why would he need another woman? Why Kurumi of all people?
"Nah, it's not cheating if they consent with it." Khan answered with a chuckle, shaking his glass of wine amusedly.
She glared at him. "Hmph. If I ever see you hurt Kiana, I'll bite you and never let you go."
"Can I count that as a proposal?" Khan asked teasingly.
Her face flushed even more, the weight of her own words crashing back into her. She realized how ambiguous it sounded, how her threat came across less like anger and more like the kind of flirting only couples would toss at each other. Her chest tightened, embarrassed at the unintended intimacy.
She coughed lightly, clearing her throat to kill the tension and drag the topic back to safer ground. "Alright, you said you wanted to crush AST and DEM, do you need my help? After all, with them gone and your goal achieved, it seems good too, they are too annoying, especially those reporters, they seem fake and deliberately targeting us."
"Well, Westcott basically controls the media and economy of most nations." Khan answered the reason.
"No wonder, after all, he was the leader of DEM and the enemy of spirits." Miku clenched her fist in anger, now she understood why the world painted them as bad, it wasn't because spirits were bad, but because the one who controlled the media never intended to coexist with them.
"So, what should we do? Against all of them?" She asked unsurely, even she had a hint of retreat, after all, fighting against so many people seemed an impossible feat for them.
"Continue what you were doing." Khan shrugged, leaning against the sofa as he sipped his wine, totally enjoying her panicked expression.
Her face darkened at his playfulness. It felt like he wasn't taking Westcott seriously at all. But then she remembered, Khan wasn't bound to this world. He could cross back and forth between worlds, slipping through barriers that even Westcott couldn't scratch. Westcott was stuck here, chained to this plane, while Khan was free. Suddenly, his arrogance, his dismissive attitude, made sense.
Calming herself with a slow breath, she leaned forward, her voice steady but laced with doubt as she needed to make sure she understood what he was implying. "Are you saying… I should take control of the masses and turn them into my informants?"
"Your layout is too small, Miku. Of course, you should make them your dog. If you wanted to fight evil, fight them with greater evil. Westcott took control of this world silently not because he was talented, well-mannered, or because he took it by brute force. No, he basically mind-controlled almost all of the upper class of this world with his spell and magic, and you can do the same."
His tone was calm, almost gentle, but the weight of his words dripped with a sinister meaning that made her skin tighten and her breath catch.
She shivered, not from fear of him exactly, but from the rawness of how easily he looked at the world and accepted it as nothing but a board for domination.
Yet, when she thought about it, she realized she wasn't that different. Not really. The only thing that set her apart was her goal. She had never wanted the entire world, she had only wanted to build her own, a small, beautiful world where she could live adored and worshipped. That had been enough.
But with Westcott still alive, with DEM and AST still breathing, that dream of hers, the dream of living as a beloved idol forever was impossible. They would always come. They would always ruin it.
So, she chose to cooperate with Khan. Her voice softened, but the steel underneath was undeniable.
"I will take care of it. This city or even this country will be yours the moment I make sure they obey your words and command. But I need a powerful spirit or bodyguard to protect me."
Khan nodded and agreed to her condition. "I will let Princess protect you, and I will also take care of everything that threatens your life. Don't worry, I also live here, so no need to hold back, just enjoy wrecking havoc and unleashing your inner megalomania, my beloved idol."
She gave him a sharp look and muttered, "You're such a jerk, Khan. I'm not like that."
But the grin spreading across her face betrayed her words. She wasn't convincing even herself. This task, this job, it was exactly to her liking.
The idea of bending others to her will, of being the axis around which the world turned, it resonated with her far too strongly. It was intoxicating. And it was honest.
Her trauma, the scars left behind by betrayal and abandonment, had carved this into her.
Once, she had placed her faith in people, in the faceless love of her fans. But rumors destroyed that illusion. The moment they turned against her, the moment their love proved shallow and conditional, she had learned the truth. Humanity was fickle. People couldn't be trusted.
And in that emptiness, control was the only thing that ever felt safe.
Khan simply shrugged, his expression unreadable. "Yeah. You're not like that. Don't worry. No judgment."
"Humph, you're so annoying, don't you know the girl would hate you if you kept leaking out their secret and inner feeling?" Miku huffed, crossing her arms, her eyes appearing to be intimidating.
But instead of intimidation, the look only appeared cute to him. Amusing, even. A smirk crept across his lips as he watched her. "Anyway, when you are done, don't forget to cooperate with Kurumi, she will sneak you into the Military Base and Police Interior and even among the higher-ups of this country. Once we seize control back from DEM, those people will be armed, and we'll strike down every one of DEM's bases. We'll declare war openly and free the other Spirits imprisoned by them."
His gaze shifted then, turning distant, as if he were no longer speaking to Miku but to himself, confessing the vision that burned in his chest. "And I will build something greater, an Academy City here, in this place. A city where Spirits, otherworldly beings, and humans stand together as equals. A place where unity exists, where division ends. A utopia."
"That's a very noble dream, even if your methods are…" Miku trailed off, letting her words hang unspoken. But Khan understood perfectly. He only gave a small shrug, dismissing her hesitation.
"It doesn't matter, I will bear that sin." Khan declared with certainty, his voice unwavering.
"Then I will help you, Khan. I want to see that dream of yours take shape, to see that place built in the future." She smiled sincerely.
Her heart also softened, it turned out Khan was not only a romantic man, but also had a noble heart, but what she didn't see, what she couldn't yet know, was that his dream wasn't born out of selfless love for unity.
No, this was the dream he had carried since he was a child: a vision where the entire world revolved around him, where every person shone like a star only because he was the singular sun.
A world where he alone stood as both ruler and savior.
In the past, such a dream would have been dismissed as nothing but childish delusion.
But now he possessed the tools, the power, and the possibility to bring it into reality.
With those in his grasp, he no longer questioned. He no longer doubted. He would do whatever it took.
This was who he was: a man of grand delusions, a man determined to reshape the world in his own image. His tale wasn't about mere ideals or romance. It was about dominion, ambition, and a dream that demanded the world revolved around him.
...
Note: Alright, everyone, after MC eliminated all of Westcott's influence in Japan and took control of the country and got all of the spirits, he will leave from this world before his final confrontation with the Original Spirit and Westcott, maybe the White Queen too and Deus from Mirai Nikki, yeah, I fused Mirai Nikki with this world too, if you are ever familiar with Yuno Gasai, that's what Mirai Nikki is about.
Deus is basically God who controls space and time and he will be the final boss and villain that MC needs to face in the future.
In canon, Date A Live mentioned God and His presence couldn't be ignored because God existed in canon, but I don't want to use the God of the Bible from our world here, He is too overpowered and omnipotent, it would be impossible for MC to take the Date A Live world from Him, He is much more powerful than Akasha in Fate, so instead, I use Deus who is acting as Archon for God in this, who is also the villain in the future when our MC visits the DC world later.
So, here's the question, I need suggestions for the next world conquest, my plan is for MC to go to Honkai Impact 3 where he will go to the Previous Era where he breeds Elysia, Dr. Mobius, Dr. Mei, Eden and many other girls, ahem… I mean, where he takes control of Fire Moth and gathers them into his base in Ancient Rome to declare his grand war with Alaya, Gaia and Akasha in the future where he would fight for supremacy over the Nasuverse world and ascend higher.
Of course, it's just a plan, my mind is fickle, maybe I'll make MC go to the Arthurian Era, chill in an anime rom-com world or go back to Ancient Rome or totally jump into a new map like DXD instead, who knows.
Anyway, next chapter will be a lemon with Kurumi, stay tuned.
