"Looks like that's the bad guy, the boss," Rita remarked.
"You're absolutely right, Rita McCoy," responded Rita's Ultra AI. "Pytronx was created by Pi-minus, who desired to possess the Xentorium Core exclusively. He is the complete prototype and the opposite of the true Xentorium Core, which resides within all of you."
Upon receiving a brief explanation about Pytronx from their Ultra AI, the Ultra family, with Peter being familiar with the villain, prepared to face him. Suddenly, Pytronx emerged from the rubble and unleashed a powerful blast from his eyes, sending Peter (Ultra White) flying uncontrollably and causing an entire building to collapse.
Peter quickly regained his composure and confirmed his safety to the rest of the family through their communication devices. "I'm okay, guys. Avoid his attacks and bring him down before he causes any more damage," he assured them.
"Right!" they all replied in unison.
Rita, also known as Ultra Pink, unleashed a powerful blast from her arrows, aiming at Pytronx, which managed to push him back slightly. Sophie, known as Ultra Orange, created massive cannons that unleashed a barrage of firepower at Pytronx, causing significant damage to his armor, although it quickly began repairing itself.
In a blur of motion, Pytronx struck Mark (Ultra Black) with tremendous force, sending him hurtling in the opposite direction. He then grabbed Mr. and Mrs. McCoy, who were in their transformed states, and tossed them aside effortlessly. Meanwhile, Debbie (Ultra Rose) employed her lasso against Pytronx, but he swiftly caught it and retaliated with an unprecedented surge of electricity. Despite the intense shock, Pytronx withstood it and proceeded to grab Ultra Rose by the neck, preparing to strangle her.
However, Current intervened with a burst of immense force, knocking Pytronx off balance and rescuing Debbie. "A Curtechyian? You defy the laws of the Maniverse. Interference will bring you inevitable punishment and a price to pay," Pytronx declared. "At what cost do you aid the Ultra family?"
"To save the Maniverse from the likes of you," replied Current, diverting Pytronx's attention. Seizing the opportunity, Peter launched a devastating blow at Pytronx with full force. The Ultra family quickly regrouped and engaged Pytronx in a fierce battle. Pytronx found it increasingly challenging to land a single blow on Current, who moved with astonishing speed. The Ultra family fought valiantly against Pytronx, matching him blow for blow and refusing to back down.
Peter McCoy, still in his ultra white transformation, charged at full speed towards Pytronx as he engaged in a fierce battle with the rest of his family. Ultra pink Rita unleashed a volley of arrows that multiplied in thousand folds, darkening the sky and raining down high voltage strikes upon Pytronx. Although Pytronx managed to catch a few, the onslaught knocked him off balance. Meanwhile, Ultra orange Sophie used her whip, extending it to great lengths, to entangle Pytronx's feet and lift him into the air. Ultra Rose Debbie, Ultra Pale Mason, and Ultra Gray Jenna combined their reactor's power to unleash a devastating blast against Pytronx while he was mid-air. At the same time, Ultra Black Mark powdered up his katanas and sliced Pytronx in half.
As Pytronx fell to the ground, unbeknownst to the ultra family, who believed they had emerged victorious, their Ultra AI sent them a warning. Pytronx had regenerated from the fatal damage and posed a renewed threat. However, current intervention was limited unless absolutely necessary.
Before the ultra family could react to Pytronx's incredible speed, he swiftly incapacitated them, except for Ultra white Peter, who quickly recovered. Pytronx extended his hand, pushing Ultra white to the brink and corrupting his suit in the process. Shattering a nearby building, Pytronx relentlessly attacked Ultra white, overwhelming him. He then hurled Ultra white into the air, causing him to shed his transformation like nanotech, while still maintaining his unique ultra white form. The corrupted suit peeled away like a dark metallic liquid substance.
Seizing the opportunity, Pytronx grabbed Ultra white, engaging in a fierce battle, while the rest of the ultra family regrouped and rejoined the fight. The battle intensified as Pytronx deftly evaded most of the ultra family's attacks. Pytronx possessed technopathic abilities and was resistant to hacking attempts. Additionally, he drew power from the Earth's magnetic field, absorbing energy and utilizing the frequency of the Earth's waves.
During the battle, Pytronx effortlessly pulled down asteroids, meteors, and comets from the sky, while Current swiftly evacuated every resident of Vill-city to a safe location, out of harm's way.
Pytronx continued to manipulate the Earth's terrain, causing upheaval and volcanic eruptions, with the intent of destroying the entire planet. The ultra family utilized their powers to the fullest extent, determined to stop Pytronx at any cost.
While engaged in a fierce battle with Pytronx, Tachyon had already rallied his allies, including Tekno Boy and the Hacker, who were taken aback by the immense destruction unfolding before them. Witnessing the efforts of the ultra family to protect their world, Tekno Boy and the Hacker began to question their allegiance, realizing that the team they were on might be just as villainous as Pytronx himself. They regretted their actions and shared a technopathic realization that their true purpose was to fight injustice, oppressive governments, and bring liberation to all.
Both Tekno Boy and the Hacker could discern the villainous nature of Techno Witch and many of the bandits, while their gang leader displayed flickers of humanity. Tetraman, a world destroyer and multiversal conqueror, reveled in Earth's impending doom and the fall of the ultra family, his smile radiating malevolence.
Each strike from Ultra Orange's whip caused Pytronx's targeted parts to be destroyed, only for them to regenerate swiftly. Explosive arrows shot at him disrupted his balance temporarily, while Ultra Rose utilized her advanced lasso technology to forcefully pull Pytronx from the sky. However, he quickly recovered and retaliated by seizing Ultra Rose by the neck, saved only when Ultra Black severed his arm and head. Yet, Pytronx's recovery was alarmingly rapid.

As the ultra family regrouped with Current, Pytronx grew increasingly enraged and demanded the surrender of the Xentorium core. He threatened to annihilate not only this universe but also the entire maniverse, consisting of 144,000 worlds. Pytronx began to transform, growing to a colossal size that obscured his face within the heavenly clouds, casting a pitch-black atmosphere over the battleground. He reached into space, clutching the sun and bringing it perilously close to Earth, intending to consume it.
The ultra family, joined by Current, huddled together to devise a plan before Pytronx could execute his catastrophic act. After considering various possible outcomes, their Ultra AI provided a solution, albeit one that would come at a great cost.
Ignoring the potential destruction of Earth, Pytronx absorbed the sun, preparing to unleash a devastating supernova infused with the power of the dark core. The cataclysmic blast obliterated all but one of the 143,999 verses within the maniverse and their respective timelines, leaving Earth as the 144,000th world—a grim fate sealed by Pytronx's actions.
Ultra AI delivered the devastating news to the ultra family, revealing the destruction of the 143,999 worlds by Pytronx, leaving only Earth on the brink of annihilation. Sensing the gravity of the situation, Peter understood the sacrifices that needed to be made. He resolved to take upon himself the ultimate price to save the maniverse within his timeline, understanding that if Pytronx remained unchecked, he would go on to destroy every maniverse in existence. Peter declared, "I can't let that happen."
However, Current intervened, insisting that Peter was not alone in this battle. Peter tried to dissuade her, believing she had already done enough, but Current revealed the true reason she had come to Peter's timeline. She admitted that it was her fault for failing to protect the Xentorium core, which held the responsibility of preventing the Omega destruction. Current explained that she was not only a guardian of speed but also the guardian of the Xentorium core, known as the Ultra Mind to their kind. She revealed that the Xentorium core was nameless and ineffable, the source of the true maniverse and an embodiment of the Ultimate source of creation, experiencing itself through all things.
Current continued, "We did not originate from any specific planet or universe within each maniverse. The entirety of creation is a shared experience of the Ultra Mind. I, along with all the Curtechyians, came from a place called Domedon Doxomedon. We were the first beings entrusted with ruling, creating, and safeguarding the creation that had been bestowed upon us, which we formed from nothingness, molded by that which had created us."
She further explained that the origin of the Xentorium core remained unknown, as it was a self-producing, alien entity beyond comprehension, referred to by different names as a testament to its reverential nature—a source of incorruptible light, harmonious consciousness, and infinite existence. To the Xentorians, the people of Xenda, it was known as the Xentorium core, while the ultra family recognized it as the Ultra Mind.
Current elaborated on their purpose, saying, "After being assigned different tasks, we created the maniverses and their 144,000 worlds. We watched over and perfected them, appointing the Watchers as our eyes and ears in the true maniverse. Though we were formless, neither beings of pure light nor matter nor darkness, we assumed the form of light to experience mortal bodies and crafted worlds within each of our maniverses. However, our kind became corrupted within our true home of paradise, giving birth to the Alpha destruction and the creation of the nulliverse, which would ultimately lead to the Omega destruction."
We fought against ourselves, and the consequences of our actions consumed our once-peaceful paradise. A being, surpassing our own equality, emerged, gathering allies among his own creations to wage war against our creation. Tachyon," Peter McCoy exclaimed.
"Yes," replied Current. "She betrayed us and turned against our creation. But I foresaw this and revealed the truth to my creation. I conceived an heir and infused them with a portion of our collective resources. I entrusted this heir to the one known as Pi-minus."
Peter was taken aback by the revelation. "Am I even human?" he asked, shocked by his half-xentorian, half-curtechyian heritage.
Current reassured him, "You are not just human. You are a fusion of xentorian and curtechyian, with the true essence residing within you. The xentorian tech inside you is merely a vessel. You are the last hope to protect our heritage and serve as a mediator of THE ONE. I apologize for keeping this from you. Please forgive me."
Overwhelmed by the truth, Peter could barely process it. Ignoring his doubts, he launched himself at full speed towards the colossal Pytronx, who was poised to detonate like a cosmic bomb. Peter yanked Pytronx out of Earth's orbit, surprising everyone with his unyielding determination. The ultra family, informed of the truth by Current, watched in awe and concern.
"What is Peter planning?" Mark questioned.
"Please, Current, save him!" Debbie pleaded desperately.
Mason and Jenna joined their pleas, urging Current to protect Peter. Anticipating their requests, Current expressed gratitude for their role in raising her son. With a wave of her hand, she shielded the ultra family and the entire world from the impending Omega destruction. In an instant, Current vanished, moving at an unmatched speed that left onlookers astounded. She reappeared in orbit, swapping places with Peter.
Her immense speed reverberated throughout creation, causing the destruction of their planet. However, everyone remained unharmed, shielded by Current's protective barrier. Overloading Pytronx with an unimaginable surge of power, she merged with him, sacrificing herself in the process. The resulting explosion contained both positive and negative energies. The positive energy restored the entire 144,000 worlds, while the negative energy propelled Peter uncontrollably into another timeline within their multiverse, existing within their own maniverse.
