The Powder Keg

Omake: Average Hunter

To celebrate the return of Unlimited Harem Works. I created this small crossover as a gift. I hope you enjoy this ThienLibra.

Two beings stared down at eachother. 1994 Fuyuki City. Y/N changed the timeline to it's worst extent. Caster was summoned, but his existence breaks the rules of the system.

Y/N could easily tell this man was a god. That's when he realized it, he fucked up this universe so badly. That the Throne of Heroes has become broken. The system was shattered and reformed.

It caused more anomalies to exist. Anomalies like Y/N, and the man standing in front of him. "Well, how many times have we fought?" Powder Keg asked.

Y/N blinked, what the hell is he talking about?

"I see, so it still works then. I'll explain then, you've killed me multiple times already. Almost always in one shot. Yet, we jump into a new timeline each time. Which it's usually just me. So I retain all the information of our fights. While you don't know anything," Powder Keg explained.

This goes against his magic. He has the fifth magic. He should know for damn sure if time is messed with. Unless, it isn't fifth magic. It's second magic, combined with fifth magic.

This type of thing would be a no brainer usually for him. Yet, why is he struggling to comprehend this?

Y/N, has fused with fate, and has witnessed the creation and root. Powder Keg ascended all, and became a Great One. He is a lovecraftian esque being in a comprehensible form.

Both are direct counters to one another. Y/N is quite powerful, but would say he's average. Yet, he is still comprehensible. Powder Keg isn't however, he is completely alien to Y/N.

Y/N surpasses Powder Keg in raw power. He can easily obliterate him. However, Powder Keg is learning. This is a battle of attrition. Powder Keg will eventually learn all of Y/N's abilities.

Then, Powder Keg will take the victory. Y/N, despite him claiming otherwise. Is nearly all powerful. Yet he is bound to one universe. Powder Keg, has no restrictions.

His insight allowed him to transcend humanity and earn his powers. Y/N got his in a stroke of luck or whatever. Yet, both are morally opposed.

Despite Y/N's willingness to kill. He is trying to do good, and live a peaceful life at the same time. A paradoxical ideology, that inspires a Wrought Iron Hero.

Powder Keg cares little for collateral damage. All he wants is to hunt beasts. Even if innocents are in his way. To him, they assist the beaste by standing in his way.

Yet, Powder Keg isn't evil, just ruthless. Kinda like a cross between Kiritsugu and Kirei. Y/N almost laughed at the thought. If he told them that, Y/N would get shot, stabbed, and punched.

"So, I've lost count of our many battles. Yet now, I know what you can do. You don't have any secrets to hide from me," Powder Keg said casually.

Y/N grit his teeth, this won't be an easy battle. He doesn't know what he did during all the last ones, but one thing's for sure. He has to beat Powder Keg.

Because he hates looking in this fucked up mirror. He wants this funhouse to be burnt to ashes.

"Just one question, who are you? You look like some Van Helsing motherfucker," Y/N asked.

"I don't know who I am. I lost my true home, and identity, many years ago. I wasn't supposed to get a second chance. Yet I did, because of an accident you caused!" Powder Keg replied harshly.

Y/N looked down in guilt. This guy just wants to live a quiet life like him. Yet in Y/N's pursuit of being average. He took someone else away from the life they wanted.

How backwards can you get? "I'll ask the same question, who are you?" Powder Keg asked.

"Well, my name is Y/N L/N, and i'm....no I am just an average magus," He replied. The answer was instinctual and ingenious. Y/N, at this point knows who he is.

Everything he did was some blown out version of denial. So, why not use it to piss off his opponent? Yet, sadly plot isn't helping him this time.

"Okay, if you can't remember. Than I'll show why I am unwelcome in this world," Powder Keg said somberly as his Cannon and Stake Driver entered his hands.

Y/N felt a chill enter his spine. Crawling around his intestines. Wriggling in his heart like a Crest Worm. His hair standing up, and his skin became clammy and cold.

The urge to run was large. Why? Because Powder Keg isn't the only one summoned. "You understand it don't you? My original Noble Phantasm is to bring in the Hunter's Nightmare. The eventual fate of Hunters. Yet you, eviscerated this universe so badly that  my Noble Phantasm enhanced."

"Now, instead of bringing in the Hunter's Nightmare. I can bring in all of my journey. From Menisis, to the Frontier, to Yharnam, and everything in between."

"That's not all, I can now bring in other Hunters. And their own journeys with them!" Powder Keg explained calmly. Like he was explaining a math problem to his students.

Y/N's eyes widened at the implication. One Hunter is a challenge already. His Noble Phantasm makes it a hassle. Yet increase to, an uncountable amount?! This looked downright impossible.

That is also, Y/N's speciality. To make the impossible, possible. "So Yin Lin, Y.N L.N, or whatever the hell your name is. How long can you last against an endless hoarde of Hunters. And the many beasts of our journeys?"

"Come on Y/N, let's welcome chaos!"

Y/N narrowed his eyes. Powder Keg's form shifted between, clothing, weapons, and powers. Until it split, the Scourge has arrived. More horrors burst through the Kaleidoscope. Y/N clenched his fists. His familiars are on their way. He just needs to hold out until then. Until then...after he holds out, what then? He'll just have to wing it like always.

"I am the bullet of my gun."
