Marvel: Power Levels are Bullshit

A/N:

Right, Marvel is kinda hard to plan, so I'll move this to DxD since I'm more verse in the universe. 

So, yeah, this Marvel X Dragon Ball fanfic is dead, and a DxD X Dragon Ball fanfic is coming soon (Since I'm just going to copy paste this with extra stuff like Sacred Gears and what not)

CHAPTER 3

-

(Day 229 after awakening)

Now he understood why Roshi took 50 years to master the Kamehameha wave, the technique drains so much Ki that it is damn inefficient. He’d rather use conventional Ki Blasts and normal Ki Beam Attacks when firing out Ki.

The Ki Drain for the Turtle Devastation Wave is too much for now, he had to abuse his Ki again to increase its reserve’s size before even attempting to spam it like Goku.

… And the bad news. It was regarding his Ki reserves, they weren’t growing anymore.

Every day, with his daily abuse of his Ki, it would grow, no matter how small the growth was. For some reason, a few days ago, it suddenly stopped and wouldn’t budge no matter how much he tried.

He has a suspicion, his body.

To be frank, he wasn’t abusing his body at all. Doing Saitama’s training of 100s of everything and then a 10-kilometer run was simply too easy for him with Ki coursing through his veins, especially once he had obtained control over the energy.

The training did keep him fit, but not stronger.

He theorizes that his body was the reason of his Ki growth, acting as a limiter to warn him that if he continues to do his normal Ki training without improvements to his body, it would, theoretically, blow up from the amount of Ki circulating his body.

The problem was, that he needed weights to increase his gains. He only has a limited time to train his body, as most of his time went to Ki training.

The awful part of not having superior Ki Control is that one cannot move while training Ki, as it would simply cause him to lose focus and thus, slow down his training.

He prioritizes his Ki training more than his physical simply because he was still young, his body wasn’t fully developed yet as he was still 10 years old, training vigorously would be detrimental to his body growth, while Ki was more spiritual in the sense that he had the spirit of a 10-year-old and a 19-year-old in him, making training easier and giving less demerits.

TLDR; he was still too young , his physical age needs to be higher for his limits of Ki to grow higher, in a sense.

Ugh, what to do… Sure, he could start to train his body more, to abusive levels like his Ki, but that would stunt his growth and thus, make him weaker in the long run. That was not a risk that he was taking, especially when the purple man was coming in… 5 years (2016) and again once more in 10 years (2023).

If he wasn’t “Dusted” by the Infinity Gauntlet, then that meant that he would be 20 by then, and stunted growth would show its colors then. Nope, not happening.

Besides, he wouldn’t have the training equipment to abuse his body efficiently. He needed weights of all things, and his purchases were being tracked. He doubts that he could buy them until he starts earning his own money and buying them then, but not in the distant year he suspects.

Hmm… Milkmen are still a thing in this era, maybe he could do Roshi’s training regiment, that would make him money too in turn —

“Mr. David Lee Martin!”

Surprised at the sudden calling of his full name, he looked up from his notebook to see his math teacher with an annoyed look. Uh oh.

“David, even with your great math grades, I’d still like you to focus in class.”

“Oh, sorry,”

Right, he was in the middle of class when he started daydreaming about his training, crap.

The teacher gave him one more look before returning to the board with a chalk in hand. Ugh, school, what a waste of time. He already graduated once, darn it, and now he had to sit in school classes again for another 8 years.

Someone, just take him out of his misery, he hates school so much — Hold up, what kind of afterlife does the MCU have? Now that he thought about it, he’d never really thought about this.

Oh, he was the type to accept death, it was the nature of life.

Memento Mori, Life is fleeting, and remember that Death is Eternal.

Anyways, hopefully this world had an afterlife similar to Dragon Ball, he seriously wants to learn the Kaio-ken and Spirit Bomb from the North Kai. Oh, and get stronger in the North Kai’s planet. The gravity there is so much higher than Earth’s, it would be good training. Well, if they exist of course.

… Speaking of gravity, he should definitely try and get it. Though this world’s era was still in the 2010’s, the technology here was on par with tech from 2023, the year that other world Dave died.

And god, that’s such a bad way to die. Seriously, that’s why he hates sitting in an airplane, too much risk from terrorists to plane failures.

Hmm… He was reading Dragon Ball Super’s Moro arc too while on the plane… And the person sitting beside him in the plane was watching the Avengers movie… Eh, maybe it was just a coincidence.

Ahem, getting back to topic, this world’s tech was so much advance due to geniuses that far surpass old Dave’s world. Example? Tony Stark and his father Howard Stark.

Seriously, the miniature Arc Reactor is a thing of fiction. Fucking 3 Gigajoules a second, that’s 3 lightning bolts in a second! Another comparison? The output of an Arc Reactor for a second is as much as the energy released from the Hiroshima nuke in 1945, in a fucking second!

Genius is a lowball of their smarts, and Dave doubts that Tony Stark couldn’t create a gravity chamber for him. The only problem was, how to contact him?

… To be perfectly honest, he was never one for socialism. He was an anti-social kind of guy. Hell, he doesn’t even have any friends in school, that’s why he had so much free time to train. Sure, he joined the soccer team of his school, but they had a mutual understanding.

They give him a spot, he’ll help them win with goals. Simple enough, even he told this to the coach of their soccer team.

Looking down on his filled notebook, he simply frowned with his fingers kneading the bridge of his nose. He had a deadline to get most of his techniques down and be good at fighting. 2012, that was the day where the Avengers were born. And he was sure as hell going to join them for the perks.

(Day 293 after awakening)

Feeling the cool air rush towards him, he simply flared his Ki outwards, the heat from the flame-like aura warming his body as he sped up his flight. He was currently flying to Mount Marcy after having enough of the wetness and bugs of the tropical forest.

Landing gently on the ground of hard stone, Dave whistled in amazement at the view on the peak of the mountain. Now he understood why hikers climb, this was beautiful especially nearing dusk.

But he wasn’t here for sightseeing purposes. Today, he had about 4 things to test that he would not dare to do at his house. Besides, after learning to fly, he didn’t train much at home anymore since, you know, he could fly to safer and unpopulated spots.

Pulling his hood down, since it was covering his sight, he quickly got to work as traveling from house to here, and here back to home will take 2 hours.

Raising his palm towards a rock formation, he concentrated before forcing as much Ki to exert from his palm, without forming a shape. Instantly, the Ki shot out from his hand unseen and smashed into the rock, creating a large crack.

… That went really well. This was a Ki technique that affected the air, called Kiai. Well, in layman terms, the Ki acts as a high-powered piston that pushes air that increases in temperature due to the Ki, towards a direction.

In his case, he just did a Kiai Blast, and it surprised him for how little Ki he needed to use compared to a normal Ki Blast. It was slightly invisible too, compared to a Ki Blast that was as bright as the sun.

Well, his first test of the experiment went really well. Maybe he could try toning down the amount of Ki for the same result or even shooting out a denser Kiai Blast for more damage. He’ll have to experiment more.

Alright then, Kiai Wave/Blast complete.

Now for the next experiment. Gathering Ki.

Passively, his Ki recovers back after a while of not using his Ki, he noted. That’s why he only trained his Ki in the morning and during the late afternoon. His Ki regenerates back in the night and during noon.

Another topic, Ki. Ki is the coordination of the mind and body, he recalled. But Ki is also life force, the energy that makes a being function. Due to that, every living being, from worms to even plants, have Ki in them innately.

People who have no control over their Ki will absolutely leak Ki, no matter what. This causes the world to have an abundance of Ki in the air. As in, a lot. So much that it sometimes bothers his senses even while sitting around doing homework.

How to explain this… Right, it’s like a sixth sense where he just knows that Ki is everywhere surrounding him, to speak. His sixth sense is being clouded because of how much Ki there is around him, this causes some discomfort.

Like the feeling of goosebumps on the nape, very uncomfortable at times.

And now the main point. He was wondering if he could absorb the Ki around him for his own. He did some thinking, and decided on a method for now.

Getting into a comfortable position while standing, he clenched his fists before flaring his Ki outwards. Similar to flying, he starts to extend out tendrils with the purpose of acting as a magnet for other foreign Ki.

After the Ki attached to the tendrils, he starts reabsorbing his Ki hoping that it would absorb the other foreign Ki in turn. A very inefficient way, but it was still something that he could try since he recalled characters from Dragon Ball absorbing the Ki around themselves.

And he purposefully did it in the wild where Ki was abundant compared to the city for better results.

The first few attempts failed… And then the next dozen failed… After that, another few dozen… Fast forward 30 minutes of trying later, finally it worked.

A measly few particles of Ki attached to his tendrils and entered back into his body, increasing his Ki reserves by… 0.0000001%.

… He was so grinding this. If he could speed up this process, gosh the amount of abuse that he could do per day skyrocketed.

OK, objective 2 done. 2 more to go.
