Chapter 10: Unlocking a New Hero – The Darkin Blade!
"Has the selection been successful? Hmm... What should I name this new alien hero?" Tony muttered to himself, excitedly opening the Omnitrix's control panel.
As the dial rotated, the projection in the center continuously shifted, displaying different alien forms.
Finally, an alien hero appeared—one with massive wings, a demonic face, and an intimidating, warlike presence. Tony immediately recognized the resemblance to Aatrox, the fearsome warrior he had just fought. However, there were clear differences.
Unlike Aatrox, who was a living being shaped by his own evolution, the Omnitrix optimized and perfected DNA samples, crafting the most powerful version of any given species.
Tony stared at the projection, lost in thought, when suddenly, a name from his past life popped into his mind.
Darkin Blade!
"Yeah… that's it. This new alien hero will be called the Darkin Blade!" Tony grinned. "Next time I run into trouble, I'll be ready to test it out in battle."
Satisfied with the name, Tony deactivated the Omnitrix's transformation template.
The past few hours had been intense. He had fought off a monstrous alien, defeated Aatrox, and even forced Morgana, the so-called Demon Queen, to flee. But now, a more immediate concern needed his attention—finding a place to rest.

Meanwhile, at the Superhuman Academy
Inside a high-level, classified conference room, some of the most powerful figures on Earth had gathered.
Standing at the head of the table was General Maxwell, a battle-hardened commander of Earth's military. Beside him were Commander Henry Olsen from the Navy, Dr. Rachel Carter, the chief scientist overseeing the Black Great Wall Project, and Captain Jennifer Lane, the leader of Earth's elite strike force.
Also present were Gwen Tennyson and Kevin Levin, two high-ranking members of Earth's superhuman defense force.
At that moment, the entire room was in stunned silence.
Just minutes ago, their DeNuo-1 Satellite had detected an extreme energy surge near the southern outskirts of Bellwood.
And what they saw had left them speechless.
A mysterious young man had fought against Aatrox, an entity of terrifying power, and forced Morgana herself to retreat. More astonishingly, this man could freely change forms, transforming into different aliens at will.
It defied everything they knew about superhuman evolution.
"Who the hell is this guy?" General Maxwell muttered, his face serious.
He turned toward Dr. Rachel Carter. "Do we have any records of him?"
Dr. Carter shook her head. "None. He appeared out of nowhere. His DNA reads as human, but that ability to shapeshift... We've never recorded anything like it."
"This isn't just some super-soldier mutation," Commander Olsen added. "This technology—if that's what it is—surpasses anything humanity has ever developed."
Maxwell narrowed his eyes. If this man was a friend, he could be Earth's greatest ally. But if he was an enemy…
Earth wouldn't stand a chance.
"Gwen, Kevin," Maxwell said firmly. "What do you think?"
Gwen Tennyson, an expert in extraterrestrial affairs, was still processing what she had seen. "His transformations resemble those of the Omnitrix," she finally said.
Kevin crossed his arms. "That thing he's using—it looks exactly like the Omnitrix. If that's the case, and he's using a fully unlocked version... then we're dealing with someone way above our league."
Maxwell exhaled. He had hoped for better news.
"Dr. Carter," he turned back. "Could this be related to the Omnitrix that Ben Tennyson used?"
"It's possible," she admitted. "But Ben's Omnitrix was locked, restricting access to dangerous forms. This new one… seems unrestricted."
Maxwell nodded grimly.
"If he's connected to the Omnitrix, we need to know his intentions. Gwen, I want you to find him. We need to bring him in."
Gwen hesitated but nodded. "I'll try."
Secretly, she wasn't sure how to approach someone with such immense power. If he was truly an ally, it would be a game-changer. But if he wasn't…
They might be too late to stop him.

One Week Later – The Calm Before the Storm
It had been a full week since Tony arrived in this world.
Since repelling the first wave of invaders, Earth had seen no further attacks. But despite the quiet, Tony could feel it—something was brewing in the shadows.
Far beyond Earth, at the edge of the Milky Way, a massive fleet had emerged.
Gigantic warships, each the size of a city, moved through space, advancing toward the Chiwu Star System.
Their destination? Earth.
These ships belonged to the Tyrannix Armada, an intergalactic race of conquerors. They had traveled across the universe for one purpose—to take Earth for their own and please their god.
Inside the largest of these warships, the Tyrannix High Council had convened.
At the head of the table sat Emperor Kael'thar, the supreme ruler of the Tyrannix. Flanking him were Warlord Malakar, General Zhen'vok, and Commander Drax, the leaders of their military forces.
Their mechanical bodies gleamed under the dim red lights of the command center. The Tyrannix had long abandoned their organic forms, replacing flesh with steel, turning themselves into perfect war machines.
But even among them, only the strongest were given the honor of becoming fully mechanical. Emperor Kael'thar, Malakar, and Zhen'vok stood at the pinnacle, their bodies enhanced with the deadliest technology in the universe.
Commander Drax, though powerful, had yet to earn the right to complete his transformation.
Standing before them was a massive holographic display—Earth, their next conquest.
"The vanguard was defeated," Malakar growled. "One man repelled them all."
"One man with the power of the Omnitrix," Zhen'vok corrected. "That technology should not exist here. Yet, it does."
Kael'thar leaned forward. His cold, cybernetic voice echoed through the chamber.
"It does not matter," he said. "Earth will fall. We will take this Omnitrix… and we will crush whoever stands in our way."
