Before the Unkillable War commenced, the vast array of variants gathered, many conversing and forming connections while others remained distant. Among them were those from isekai worlds, sharing insights into their unique universes, laws, and natures, each distinct from the others. They spoke of their heroic deeds—some having saved their multiverses from annihilation—while comparing their experiences in worlds shaped by otherworldly rules. Their tales of adventure and triumph intrigued the others.

  Some variants discussed the origins of their unkillable nature and existence. The variants shared tales of their Unkillable origins, each story unique and fascinating. Some endured agonizing experiments, their bodies transformed by science or dark magic. Others were born with the gift, their innate nature forged in the womb. Destiny chose some, predetermining their path to Unkillability.

  For others, it was a chance occurrence, a random twist of fate. Higher powers crafted some variants, their existence a deliberate act of creation. Celestial objects or enigmatic entities from beyond the veil granted Unkillability to some, while others received it as a blessing or curse from deities or otherworldly beings.

  Fallen deities, powerful and proud, walked among them, their essence merged with mortals. Some variants were the product of divine or supernatural fusion, their beings blended with celestial creatures or entities from higher dimensions. Others boasted mixed heritage, their bloodlines tracing back to deities, aliens, or supernatural entities. Each variant's story wove a rich tapestry, illustrating the diverse paths to Unkillability.

  Amidst the gathering of variants before the Unkillable War, a darker faction emerged: the malevolent ones who thrived on chaos, destruction, and power. These evil Unkillables, embodiments of villainy in their respective universes, boasted of their conquests with twisted pride.

  Some spoke of how they had ravaged their worlds, leaving the so-called heroes helpless to stop them. They relished in recounting their victories over the most powerful beings in their realms—gods, monsters, cosmic entities, demons, and heroes alike. Many had crushed all who opposed them, annihilating entire worlds and dimensions, reducing even the most formidable foes to nothing.

  One variant bragged about destroying heaven itself, casting down its celestial guardians and corrupting the sacred realms. Another boasted of his dominion over the Nine Realms, enslaving all who lived there, from gods to mortals. A third reveled in how they had not only conquered a multiverse but enslaved entire omniverses, bending the very fabric of reality to their will. Their conquests extended to realms beyond comprehension—the Fifth Dimension, the Twelfth Dimension, and others, where they reigned supreme.

  Their power and ruthlessness were unmatched in their worlds, and now, gathered with other Unkillables, they anticipated the chance to prove their superiority on an even grander scale. As they shared their tales of destruction, a sinister energy filled the air, a palpable reminder that not all battles were fought for righteousness, and not every champion of the multiverse fought for the greater good.

  Variants from the real world and nonfictional dimensions also joined the discussion, offering their perspectives. Their understanding of their respective realities differed vastly, each shaped by the nature of the world they inhabited. The nuances of storytelling, scriptwriting, and the roles played by authors, directors, or agents became hot topics of debate. Some of these beings were guided by personal authors, while others acted independently, yet all were aware of the creative forces that influenced their existences.

  The conversations among those willing to engage with one another were awe-inspiring. Many variants, recognizing their similarities, differences, and potential, questioned the necessity of the impending conflict. They contemplated whether their shared knowledge and mutual understanding could prevent the inevitable clash.

  "It's a pity not all of us will survive," remarked a female Unkillable from the real world, her voice laced with a grim acceptance of the coming battle. "I'll have to kill so many of us."

  "In your dreams, bitch," a male Unkillable from a fantasy world shot back, his defiance clear.

  Their attention was abruptly seized as a cosmic being, towering over all of them, announced the start of the war. Silence fell over the gathering as they prepared for the battle that would determine their fates, knowing that their differences and powers would soon be tested in the ultimate conflict.

  The cosmic being, a variant itself, had brought the gathering together. As a fusion of divine celestial powers from both female and male counterparts, it possessed all the abilities, experiences, and knowledge of the variants. This being had united the variants to become singular, balancing their nature to prevent being too overpowered. However, this truth was concealed from the rest of the variants after the unkillable war had left only a fraction of powerful unkillables in the arena.

  During the battle, the variants noticed something peculiar about Dr. Carmen, despite numerous failed attempts to kill him. Dr. Carmen, in his wisdom, proposed a ceasefire and suggested fusion, echoing the cosmic being's plan. His idea intrigued the variants, but a female unkillable opposed the notion, fearing memory malfunctioning and the loss of their individual origins. She argued that Dr. Carmen would inherit infinite origins, making it impossible to differentiate between his own experiences, lives, adventures, and stories.

  As they debated, the cosmic being scanned Dr. Carmen, revealing his abilities to the group. The revelation stunned them, and they finally solved the puzzle: Dr. Carmen's lack of omnicide was the reason they couldn't kill or erase him, despite their efforts.

  However, none possessed what Dr. Carmen had - the ineffable resistance to omnicide, the sole force capable of killing them or any being across franchises, including cosmic entities, otherworldly, and supernatural beings. Even those with resistance to omnicide could be killed, whether variants or beings from various fictional franchises. Dr. Carmen's unique trait made him the prime version of his variants. As he fused with the cosmic being, the living and the dead became one immense entity, wielding ineffable abilities beyond comprehension.

  After the fusion, Dr. Carmen realized the extent of his newfound powers and was soon overwhelmed by the personality traits and madness of his variants. He became neither good nor evil, traversing the realm where the unkillable war had taken place. With a single leap, he effortlessly shattered and erased that realm, unleashing a shockwave that threatened the existence of every fiction and nonfiction world.

  As he traversed multiple dimensions simultaneously, Dr. Carmen sought aid to control his abilities before the personality madness consumed him. However, neither heroes nor villains, cosmic beings, gods, nor demons from various franchises could understand his predicament or offer help.

  His mere presence in some dimensions caused reboots, erasures, or rebirths, eventually catching the attention of powerful beings from the Ultra Realm. These beings, who rivaled Dr. Carmen's abilities, subdued him by placing three marks on his forehead, suppressing and controlling his powers. This restored his sanity, allowing him to finally find balance.

  The entities from the Ultra Realm offered Dr. Carmen a choice: to compress his infinite abilities into a desired form, now that he had control over them. However, they warned him that he would still retain his unkillable nature and ability to kill the unkillable, regardless of his chosen form. His abilities would adapt to his changes, and his infinite potential would remain within him.

  They also cautioned that his personality madness, though suppressed by the three markings on his forehead, still lingered and would unleash his infinite abilities if the seal was broken. To maintain control, Dr. Carmen would need to regain his composure or seek out powerful beings who could reactivate the seals.

  Understanding the terms, Dr. Carmen proceeded to compress his infinite abilities into his desired form. He chose to manifest infinite strength, infinite speed, faster-than-light (FTL) movement, and FTL flight. Although he had compressed his limitless abilities, he still possessed his infinite potential, waiting to be tapped.

  As the entities from the Ultra Realm vanished, they left Dr. Joseph Benjamin Carmen with a final, profound instruction that reverberated through his very soul. The moment their words were spoken, they dissolved into the ether, leaving behind a faint echo of their otherworldly presence. Then, without warning, an unseen force of unimaginable power surged forward, striking Dr. Carmen with such incredible velocity that it tore through the fabric of reality itself. This violent collision propelled him into a dimension born from the sheer intensity of the force's energy.

  On the other side, as he tumbled through the infinite void, a voice boomed across the cosmos. It was both a warning and a decree:

  "Your power is boundless, but your heart must remain humble. Use your gifts for the greater good, or suffer the consequences of unbridled ambition."

  The voice belonged to a being of immense power—a being that one of Carmen's many variant personalities had challenged in the past, provoking an endless battle. The being had waited patiently for this moment, seizing the opportunity now that all of Carmen’s unkillable variants had fused into one.

  Hurtling through space, Dr. Carmen found himself falling like a blazing comet. As he descended into this new universe, he could feel the madness of countless personalities within him clawing for control. Three glowing marks on his forehead flickered and glitched, reflecting the internal struggle. Just as the madness threatened to consume him, a variant from within offered aid—a stolen prototype of a Xentrocurnia Prime tech orb. This variant had swiped the tech from her own universe during a surprise birthday party thrown by the Ultra Family, who had planned to gift her the latest upgrade. The act stunned the family, leaving them bewildered as to why she would steal her own present.

  Returning to the present moment, Dr. Carmen’s descent culminated in a cataclysmic impact. He crashed into a battlefield where humans and supernatural forces clashed for dominance. The force of his arrival unleashed a massive shockwave that nearly leveled the entire area, abruptly halting the battle. Both sides stood frozen in fear and confusion, each suspecting that this was a secret weapon unleashed by their enemies to tip the scales of war.

  As the smoke cleared, Dr. Carmen rose from the crater, naked and crackling with energy. Lightning arced from his eyes and body, and the Xentrocurnia Prime tech orb hovered beside him, pulsating with raw power. The three marks on his forehead flickered erratically, struggling to maintain the seal that held his unstable power in check. The silence on the battlefield was deafening, as if the world itself had held its breath.

  The voice from the Ultra Realm echoed through his mind once more, a reminder of the immense responsibility that accompanied his new abilities. Dr. Joseph Benjamin Carmen, now transformed beyond recognition, knew that his journey was only beginning. Armed with the wisdom of the Ultra Realm and the power to reshape reality, he set forth on a legendary quest to explore the mysteries of the multiverse.

  As he stood among the terrified remnants of the warring factions, Carmen's path was clear: he would wield his power not for conquest, but for the betterment of all existence. Yet, deep within him, the ever-present madness whispered of the dangers that lay ahead, and of the eternal battle that awaited him should he stray from the path.
