The Ki Blast and the Conceptual The seven heroes were pulled through the Obsidian Door, not by gravity, but by the sheer, focused vacuum of immense kinetic power. The portal was violent, loud, and smelled of ozone, sweat, and something impossibly hot.
They landed hard on a cracked, reddish wasteland—a planetoid that looked like it had been cracked open like an eggshell and then microwaved.
The sound was the first assault: a deafening, continuous sonic wave generated by two beings moving faster than light.
"What is this awful noise?" Dazai complained, dusting the red grime off his coat. "The aesthetics are completely lacking. Where is the poetry in this destruction?"
"That's the sound of power levels exceeding the structural integrity of the local dimension, you idiot!" Kazuma screamed, immediately hitting the dirt and trying to dig himself a hole with his bare hands. "We are in a universe where the baseline power is 'planet-killer'!"
Jin-Woo didn't lower his guard. His Shadow Army was suppressed by the sheer, overwhelming amount of Ki—a type of energy completely alien to his Mana. His Shadows were flickering, struggling to maintain form under the pressure.
"The air is saturated," Jin-Woo stated, his voice tight. "The Mana density is negligible, but this 'Ki' energy... it is conceptually incompatible with the Shadow Domain. They are unstable."
"Incompatible? Perfect," Gojo Satoru grinned, his Six Eyes analyzing the immediate surroundings. "This world operates purely on raw muscle and screaming. It's aesthetically crude, but the raw output is spectacular. Look."
He pointed to the sky.
In the cratered sky above them, two figures—one in orange and blue, the other in battle armor—were struggling against a colossal, emerald-green brute .
The green brute, Broly, was roaring, his Legendary Super Saiyan energy causing the very sky to crack. He was entirely focused on his opponents, Goku and Vegeta, unleashing a relentless barrage of bright green energy spheres.
One of those spheres, a massive Ki Blast easily capable of erasing a small moon, hurtled off course. It missed Vegeta by inches and was heading directly toward the Nexus Seven.
"Oh no, oh no, oh no!" Okarun shrieked, falling over himself. "That's a Conceptual Annihilation Event! The blast is too high-level! My spiritual energy can't stop it! Saitama-san, please do something mundane!"
Saitama, who had been studying the fight with a look of extreme boredom, finally lifted a finger. "Seems a little excessive."
Gojo scoffed. "If he punches that, the entire planet will detonate, and we'll be left floating in the vacuum. This requires finesse."
Gojo raised his own hand, preparing to use Limitless to stop the Ki Blast conceptually. His technique was complex: trapping the energy within the infinite gap.
The Weaponized AbsurdityBut before Gojo could unleash his Blue, the conceptual anarchy of the Nexus Seven took over.
The Ki Blast, a pure, focused expression of Saiyan destructive intent, was about to enter the field of influence of seven contradictory realities.
1. Kazuma's Bad Luck (Low-Concept)
Kazuma, in a fit of absolute, paralyzing terror, accidentally activated his Steal skill toward the Ki Blast, his mind focused only on the idea of 'making it go away.'
The Steal skill, never designed for energy, clashed with the Ki Blast's structure. It didn't steal the energy, but it successfully stole the concept that defined the blast's trajectory.
2. Dazai's Negation (High-Concept)
The blast, now directionless, happened to veer directly toward Dazai. Dazai, finally facing a beautiful, all-consuming explosion, smiled faintly and raised his hand, anticipating the glorious end.
His passive ability, No Longer Allowed in Another World, touched the destabilized Ki Blast. It didn't negate the power, but it instantly and beautifully negated the blast's intent.
3. Jin-Woo's Authority (Power-Concept)
The blast, stripped of intent and trajectory, became a massive, spinning ball of raw, chaotic energy. It began to pull the surrounding dust and rock toward itself, instantly becoming a miniature, uncontrolled black hole of pure Ki.
Jin-Woo, realizing the danger, poured his Mana into it, not to fight it, but to give the energy mass a Command—the universal instruction to 'Stand Down.'
The combined result was instantaneous and absurd.
The Ki Blast, having been conceptually stolen, negated, and commanded, stabilized into a single, perfectly spherical, lime-green, high-grade Mana Stone the size of a minivan. It fell with a soft, gentle thud onto the cracked earth, completely inert.
Silence descended. Goku and Vegeta stopped fighting Broly, all three Saiyans staring dumbfounded at the perfect, inert energy sphere.
Goku looked at the Nexus Seven. "Whoa! Did you guys make that?"
Jin-Woo retracted his daggers. Gojo lowered his hand, his planned attack completely superseded by chaotic magic and bad luck.
"See, Jin-Woo?" Gojo sighed, shaking his head. "My technique would have been elegant. This was just embarrassing."
Kazuma, seeing the massive, sparkling gem, forgot his fear and scrambled toward it. "Priceless loot! This is worth more than ten Demon Kings!"
Just then, Malak's voice echoed in their minds, cold and sharp:
"Nexus Seven. Mission Protocol is initiated. The concept of this universe is 'Overwhelming Power.' To 'Conquer' it, you must locate and neutralize the highest source of structural instability. Find the Anchor Point and either stabilize its power or eliminate it."
Malak's horrifying face flashed in their minds. "Failure to stabilize this universe will result in an immediate conceptual collapse. Good luck."
The Saiyans, meanwhile, resumed their fight. Broly roared, unleashing a burst of power that knocked Goku and Vegeta back.
Goku looked back at the strange newcomers. "Hey! Who are you guys? You're really strong! Want to fight Broly? He's super tough!"
Jin-Woo looked at the terrifying green giant, then at the massive, valuable Mana Stone at Kazuma's feet, and finally back at the chaotic, raw energy of the Saiyan universe.
"We have an objective," Jin-Woo said, ignoring Goku's invitation. "Tanjiro, your senses. Where is the Anchor Point located? What is the core instability of this world?"
Tanjiro inhaled deeply. His eyes widened in horror.
"The instability isn't coming from the green giant," Tanjiro whispered, clutching his hilt. "The instability... the Anchor Point... it smells of perfect, pure, innocent desire for combat. It smells like... him."
Tanjiro pointed directly at Goku.
The mission was simple, terrifying, and utterly impossible: To conquer the Dragon Ball universe, they had to neutralize the primary protagonist. The Nexus Seven had to figure out how to stop the unstoppable desire for battle, without accidentally detonating the planet.
