The Consciousness Space

"Yo! I'm back, everyone!"

Marvel Renzo popped back into the shared consciousness space, grinning and waving at the crowd.

"Huh? We've got new faces?"

He raised an eyebrow, glancing at the three unfamiliar guys standing nearby. "So, where are you all from?"

The one on the left—a tall, broad-shouldered guy, probably about 6'3" and oozing charisma—smiled and spoke up, "I'm from DC. Also, just so you know, I'm a Kryptonian, Diana's man, and Earth's protector! I'm Superman!"

"…Huh?"

Marvel Renzo stared blankly for a second before sighing. "Seriously? Don't tell me you're really following Superman's path and trying to be a hero or something. That doesn't sound like us at all."

I mean, c'mon—he knew himself better than anyone.

Still, this new DC Renzo had clearly been around for a while already. He'd even gotten together with Wonder Woman.

And judging by the crazy strong energy Marvel Renzo could sense from him, plus that nearly indestructible Kryptonian body, it was pretty obvious—this guy had already become the strongest being on his version of Earth.

The only strange thing was… he was just now awakening to the shared consciousness space. Hard to say if that was lucky or unlucky.

"Oi oi oi, having a 'hero' identity in public isn't such a bad thing," Superman said, arms crossed and chuckling. "But don't confuse me with the original Superman—I'm not gonna let myself be held back by normal humans."

Did he look like the self-sacrificing type?

"Oh? Well then—give me your hand. Let's sync up so I can get the full picture."

Marvel Renzo stepped forward with interest but suddenly paused mid-step.

"…Wait, if we sync, does that mean I'll inherit Kryptonian weaknesses too?"

Uchiha Renzo chuckled and shook his head. "Don't worry—obvious weaknesses aren't transferred through the sync. Besides, Superman already dealt with his weaknesses years ago."

"Not exactly," Superman corrected, shaking his head. "It's thanks to all your shared knowledge and abilities that I was able to finally overcome them. I couldn't have done it alone."

The truth was, he'd awakened to the consciousness space about three months ago.

And it was only after that point that he was able to fully eliminate his Kryptonian flaws.

"Wait, hold on," Marvel Renzo said, blinking in confusion. "Wasn't I the last one to join before this? How has so much time passed? It feels like Superman Renzo's been in his world for years."

Otherwise, how would he have solved the Kryptonite problem so easily?

Eevee spread his little paws and shrugged. "It has been more than a year for him. You're the one who's late, buddy."

He shot Marvel Renzo a sideways look and added, "You disappeared for almost four months in your own main timeline right after joining, but you didn't sync the time flow with this mental space—so a whole year passed here. We were starting to think you messed with the plot too much, caught Thanos' attention, and got snapped or something."

Yeah… Marvel Renzo had been MIA for way too long.

Everyone had been excited to see what goodies he'd bring, and then—poof—he ghosted them.

"Uh… hahahaha…"

Marvel Renzo scratched the back of his head awkwardly, realizing how bad it sounded. "I just… got super busy and forgot, alright?"

"Well, you're here now, that's what counts! Come on, let's sync up—I've got the Space Stone and the Mind Stone. Oh, and I've got a deal with the Ancient One to borrow the Time Stone, too!"

Grinning, Marvel Renzo walked over to the center table and stretched out his hand.

The others followed suit, laying their hands over his—Superman included, as well as the other two new guys.

In a flash, the sync completed.

Once the energy transfer and memory sharing settled, Marvel Renzo looked at the remaining two newcomers with surprise.

"So, you guys are from Starship Troopers and ha? Another Hentai filler guy?!"

The Renzo from the 'Doubted' universe gave a helpless shrug. "Yeah, well… My world isn't based on hentai or anything, but it is full of other 18+ stuff—like, uh, R-18 Manhwa, adult comics, games… even Chinese adult content."

"I was just an ordinary guy before all this. If I hadn't awakened to the consciousness space, I honestly don't know how I'd have survived. The world's a total mess—different countries are in completely different eras. China, for example, is still ancient, using Qi as its power system."

Yeah, the new universe wasn't exactly safe. Demon cultivators ruled the East, while vampires and witches stirred trouble in the West.

At first, he'd been excited—dreaming about building his super harem from all the adult games, comics, and other things he watched.

But reality hit hard. If he hadn't worked his ass off, and if his neighbors hadn't looked out for him, he—just a lonely orphan—would've died long ago.

"Man… for real."

Marvel Renzo was stunned after scanning through the new Renzo's memories. He gave a sympathetic nod. "You and I started off in pretty similar situations—basically just regular dudes. I guess I lucked out a bit more, though. At least I awakened to the consciousness space right after I crossed over."

He gave a reassuring smile. "Still, you've made it through the worst of it. With your current power level, it's all downhill from here—taking down bad guys and collecting girls like every R-18 protagonist ever."

Marvel Renzo wasn't completely sure though. From what he saw in the newbie's memories, there wasn't much info on demon cultivators or other supernatural in that world. It made comparisons tricky.

"Maybe! I haven't actually met any of them yet," R-18 Renzo replied with a shrug. "I've been in this shared space for three months now, but I focused on building my harem. You didn't see it happen because—unlike in the trashy hentai—they're my women. No one else gets to look at them."

"The demon cultivators shouldn't be that strong for just R-18 stuff," Uchiha Renzo chimed in. "At best, he might be at the Nascent Soul or Divine Transformation level. With our current power pool, we've got more than enough to deal with anyone."

Superman alone had drastically boosted the collective strength of the Renzo multiverse.

He'd been born on Krypton with all his memories intact. Before the planet exploded, he'd even managed to copy all the data, then hitched a ride to Earth in a spaceship.

That had been decades—maybe even over a century—ago.

Since then, he'd been soaking up sunlight and chilling while slowly building his power to an absurd level. And during all that time, he hadn't slacked off either—he kept studying Kryptonian genetics and the Kryptonian technology nonstop.

Physically? Intellectually? Dude was a monster.

Demon cultivators might seem impressive in other worlds, but against this lineup? The current Renzo Crew? Nah.

"...Yeah, probably," R-18 Renzo nodded. "But there's no rush. When I get back, I'd rather take my time."

The moment he said that, everyone turned to look at him sideways.

"Lustful Stupid Pervert," Uchiha Renzo muttered.

Eevee: "Horny guy who thinks with the wrong head."

"Shame on you!"

"+1..."

"Hey, don't shame me!" R-18 Renzo shot back with a smirk. "Like you'd do any different if you landed in my world. You're telling me you'd let the women go? Please."

"…Fair," said Hentai Renzo with a very serious nod.

The others: "…"

"Anyway," Uchiha Renzo changed the topic, "do you guys think the Five Spirit Orbs could help enhance and stabilize the Takamagahara micro-world? Horny Renzo didn't get the full info yet."

"Probably," Marvel Renzo responded, having already read the memories. "When I placed the Space Stone and Mind Stone into Takamagahara, the world's evolution speed shot up."

"The Five Spirit Orbs represent the five fundamental elements—they're like the foundational blocks of any world. Of course they'll help."

"Which means," he turned to R-18 Renzo, "Girls aren't the real priority. Your main task should be gathering all five Spirit Orbs and placing them into Takamagahara. That benefits all of us."

This was the kind of thing that was mutually beneficial—win-win across timelines.

And speaking of which, Marvel Renzo still hadn't had time to fully study the laws within the Space and Mind Stones. That was going to be his main focus moving forward.

But thanks to shadow clone abilities, he could multitask like a pro—training, managing his company, analyzing artifacts... no problem.

"Yeah, I'm on it," R-18 Renzo nodded. "Strengthening myself has always been the goal anyway. My world isn't just about women…"

"Well...maybe it's but I'll do my best!"
