> "You know what's worse than a god?
A gym bro with a power-up scream and no chill."

[Mission Briefing – System Lounge, Now with Beanbags]
A neon banner flickered above the round table:
"Welcome to Operation Dumbass – Mission #1"
MC stood in front of a hologram labeled:
Threat Level: PEAK DUMB.
Behind him? An image of a muscular anime character mid-scream, shirtless, veins bulging, surrounded by unpaid VFX interns.
MC (serious tone):
> "Today's threat is an Outer God lieutenant who's possessed the strongest shonen protagonist in an abandoned world…
And created a cult based entirely on powering up by screaming."
Kazuma:
> "So, Dragon Ball?"
MC:
> "Worse. It's like Dragon Ball, but if every single person was Krillin trying to go Super Saiyan."
Deadpool:
> "So CrossFit with screaming."
Buggy (panicking):
> "Can we even hurt a guy who uses friendship speeches as fuel?!"

[Mission Zone: World 9001 – Planet FLEX]
They landed mid-field in the middle of a literal Flex Festival.
NPCs screamed in unison, flexing so hard their shirts exploded.
Muscles rippled in ways that violated physics.
Background music was 200% bass boost with titles like "WHO NEEDS PLOT WHEN YOU GOT LATS"

[The Champion Revealed]
Shonen Maximus, the god-possessed flex idol, stood atop a glowing protein shaker throne.
> "MY GAINS ARE ABSOLUTE! I HAVE ASCENDED BY OUT-SCREAMING ALL PREVIOUS TRANSFORMATIONS!"
He flexed once.
A continent imploded.
Tsunade (facepalming):
> "This is worse than Madara."
Artoria (drawing sword):
> "I will not be defeated by biceps."
MC:
> "Deadpool, initiate Plan WHEY PROTEIN."

[Plan Whey Protein – Execution Team]
Deadpool (donning a unicorn hoodie):
> "HEY, YOU! You skipped leg day!"
Shonen Maximus:
> "HERESY!"
Rimuru (transforming):
> "I absorbed thirty gym bros. I now bench-press reality."
Saitama (yawning):
> "Do I punch now or later?"
MC:
> "No. First we use Kazuma's plan."
Kazuma:
> "Wait—what?!"

[Kazuma's Plan – Actual Genius (By Accident)]
Kazuma stealthily inserted a "Reverse Power-Up" virus into Maximus' system—rewriting his logic:
> "Screaming = WEAKNESS"
Shonen Maximus:
> "I must… remain… calm…"
Buggy (yelling behind a rock):
> "YOU'RE A WALKING NECK MUSCLE, HOW DO YOU CALM DOWN?!"
Maximus (sobbing):
> "My scream was my soul…"
Tsunade:
> "Good. Now hit him."
Saitama:
> "Cool."
PUNCH.
