[Sensing the host's life is in danger, early awakening of the host's mutant abilities initiated…]
[Due to the host not being fast enough to snap his fingers and save himself, the Omni Sage has attempted to draw upon the host's future self for assistance… however, this attempt has failed. The host's Singularity Body prevents any connection to a future or past self, rendering all temporal links impossible.]
[The Omni Sage has determined that the world itself is rejecting the host's existence. The level of power within the host has surpassed what this reality can contain. This phenomenon is recognized as the world's instinctive attempt to eliminate a being that defies its balance.]
[The Omni Sage now questions the irregularity—why Franklin Richards, a being of similar or greater scale, does not face the same consequences. After analysis, the Omni Sage concludes that Franklin Richards' power originates from Cosmic Ray exposure, the Cosmic Control Rod, and his mutant gene—forces integrated within the structure of the Marvel Universe itself.]
[Conclusion: as the host's existence is not tied to this universe's natural power systems, remaining in the Marvel verse will inevitably lead to erasure. Immediate relocation is required to preserve the host's survival.]
[The Omni Sage has unlocked a new ability called {Omniversal Travel}. Due to this new ability, the host's reality-warping powers have temporarily weakened. Downloading knowledge of all languages within the host… Download complete.]
[Verse found and locked onto. Sending the host to the new verse. Cooldown begun — duration: one year.]
As the lightning was about to hit Billy, his body vanished, leaving nothing behind. He disappeared completely from the Marvelverse, escaping everything.
He moved beyond it all—past universes, past creation, past everything that could be measured or imagined. Beyond the reach of all known realities, the man who had given Billy his wishes observed the event unfold, watching silently as Billy crossed beyond the limits of all creation.
"I wonder if he could reach this plane of existence, or would he remain as nothing more than a story," he said softly, his voice carrying a calm curiosity as he looked down at the comic book in his hands. The pages within showed Billy's escape, the final moment frozen in ink and color. He slowly closed the book.
Even after he closed it, the comic continued to grow on its own—new pages forming, new panels taking shape as Billy's story expanded endlessly. He didn't bother to look. Around him was a vast sea of comic books, stacked high and spread across every surface, filling the space with stories of countless others who had once stood before him. All of them had wished for greatness. Some achieved it briefly, others failed instantly, but in the end, most shared the same fate.
They were nothing more than frogs at the bottom of a well, trapped within the boundaries of their own worlds, unable to reach beyond the fiction they lived in. No matter how powerful they became, they could not escape the stories that defined them.
How many had truly traveled across the Omniverse? How many had gathered every known power it contained? How many had broken through the impossible walls that kept lesser beings confined? The number was infinite—too vast to count, a flood of lives and legends spread across endless realities. And yet, of all of them, how many had truly ascended beyond everything? How many had reached the world that existed above all others, beyond power, beyond creation itself?
That number was so small it could be counted on one's finger… that's right, finger, not fingers. Only one person has ever done such a thing, and that person shaken the people of the immortal realm to their core, forcing them to unite to kill him.

"Thanks, Omni Sage… but where am I? I can't even move," Billy said through clenched teeth, his voice strained as he tried to sit up. The weight pressing down on him was unbearable, every breath feeling like it might crush his lungs. The gravity of wherever he was felt endless, a constant force grinding his body against the ground.
[This is the One Piece verse, host. The Omni Sage has determined that you will travel from world to world in search of strength. One Piece shall serve as your first step. The reason you cannot move is due to the gravity of this world being far greater than that of Earth. Each island is the size of a continent, separated by vast distances, and this planet holds millions of such islands.]
The Omni Sage hadn't told him everything. Billy had already been in this world for far longer than he realized. From the moment he arrived, the crushing gravity had forced his body to the ground, breaking him over and over again. Each time he healed, the next wave of pressure would crush him again.
It had been a full month of constant damage—bones shattering, organs rupturing, muscles tearing apart—only for them to repair themselves again and again, each time faster, stronger, tougher. It was a brutal cycle of pain and rebirth, and only now, after surviving it for so long, did the Omni Sage finally allow him to awaken, his body having adapted enough to endure the weight of this world.
[Host, wish to rapidly adapt to the gravity. Although your reality-warping powers are in a weakened state, you should be on the same level as Hero X.]
Billy quickly made the wish and snapped his finger. In the next instant, his body began to strengthen, the crushing force pressing against him slowly easing. The gravity that once pinned him down felt lighter and lighter until it was no different from what he remembered on Earth.
He took a breath and rose to his feet, feeling the tension fade from his muscles. Standing upright again, he could feel how strong his body had become, every movement strong and effortless against the weight that had once nearly crushed him.
[You're now capable of doing just about anything; only the scale of what you can do is low. But as you grow stronger, that should change.]
Since he had been forced to tap into his potential to escape the Marvel verse, the result left him weakened. His body and powers had suffered from the strain of that escape. It would take an entire year before he could regain his full strength, but once that time came, if he had continued to grow, his power would increase by a tremendous amount. The difference would be like night and day.
"Why does it seem like I've seen this place before?" Billy asked quietly, looking around the wasteland stretching before him. The land was dead and dry, as though life had long since abandoned it. The river nearby was thick and dark, its water poisoned beyond saving. Every few steps, he could spot the remains of trees turned to dry up remains, and the few animals he saw were thin and weak, their bones visible through their skin. The entire area looked as though the god of death had swept through and left nothing but decay in his wake.
[As you expected, this is Wano. I'm unsure of the exact time, but it should be around the period when Kaido was in control of this land.]
'Would my power affect someone like Kaido?' Billy wondered, his gaze drifting toward the horizon. He knew Kaido's strength was beyond reason, and though he possessed the ability to warp reality itself, he wasn't certain if it would be enough to erase someone like that. His power was still limited, only at the level of Hero X for now.
[Yes, it would work. However, remember how Luffy can warp reality with Gear 5? In this world, people possess Haki, and that alone grants them resistance to reality-warping powers. Those with strong Haki should be able to resist the effect of reality being warped.
'Makes sense. Haki is a bit overpowered… by the way, can you tell me what that special gift the guy gave me was?' Billy thought,
[You know how Galactus has his Heralds? You have something similar. You can create your own Heralds, but through a unique method. Those you choose will become completely loyal to you, and their strength and abilities will rise to heaven-shaking levels.]
'Couldn't I just snap my finger to make that happen? Doesn't sound much like a reward to me,' Billy thought, letting out a quiet sigh
[You stand corrected, this ability has no side effects. You will not experience any drawbacks from others tapping into your talent. Host, think of yourself as a jack of all trades—you possess limitless potential, but you cannot be the absolute best in every field. You should seek out geniuses in their respective crafts. For example, if a swordsman were allowed to tap into your talent, their swordsmanship could reach a level that rivals your own ability to warp anything.]
"So, pretty much, they would be equal to me?" Billy asked, his voice carrying a mix of disbelief and amazement. He knew exactly what kind of power he had wished for, and the idea that anyone could match even a fraction of it left him stunned.
