Chapter 316: That Time When I Became the King of a Dying World

—

[Nowhere]

Situated Outside the Cube, at the peak of the Prime Omniverse, this was the celestial dimension where Primal Gods dwelled.

The Lord of these Primal Gods was The Supreme God, he is the same being who was titled The Voidborn, The Primordial Deity—and he is also the same man who lost his daughter just a few days ago.

In the war that happened a few days ago, Neji Hado the Gamer had killed three hundred prime gods on his own. Along with them, he killed Fotia as well, the Fire Goddess of the Prime, the daughter of Voidborn.

As revenge, Voidborn had obliterated and annihilated the Gamer with a breath of fire, opposing one of the Class-2 Abstract Entity of the Cube in the process and endangering another all-out war against Cube. Though the war was avoided, and instead the said Abstract was punished to keep things suppressed, Voidborn was not satisfied at all with the result of things.

He began to search for the five females that the Gamer had managed to teleport away right before the war had started—Voidborn wanted them, along with any other person related to the Gamer, to die the worst possible death.

"My daughter," The Primordial God growled as he glared at the starry universe seen from the window he was standing beside. "I will avenge you, no matter what happens."

His cute little daughter who was once so kind was broken down and ruined by the 1st Gamer. But at the very least, she was alive—but this time, the 2nd Gamer didn't hold back, he killed Fotia.

Voidborn recalled how that rascal, the 1st Gamer, had threatened him before his death—that the next gamer would take revenge for him. That's exactly what had happened, and Primordial couldn't be more frustrated because of missing the chance to take down the 2nd while it was still possible.

"My King," a gentle voice suddenly said, but Voidborn didn't turn to respond. A second later, a hand fell on his shoulder, squeezing him gently, as the same voice spoke again. "I have a report from the search team."

That did make Voidborn turn his head to look at the woman beside him, who looked like a contrast to himself, with blazing red hair and pale-white skin, whereas he had white hair and red skin.

That was his wife, the mother of Fotia, the Goddess of Creation named Eurynome, she was as heartbroken as he was by their daughter's death.

"...Eury," Voidborn smiled for the first time in days, wrapping one of his hands around his wife's waist. "What is the report? Did they finally find someone?"

"No," Eury slowly shook her head. "Those five females seemed to have been teleported in a manner that messes with our search, possibly done by the Cube's Will. However, the news I have should cheer you up more."

Though the Primordial's mood soured once again when she spoke, her last line made him frown in expectation. What might be the thing that would cheer him up even in this situation?

"We have found signs that say the Gamer is alive and well," Eury said while his eyes widened. Eury watched as her husband's lips quivered, and before long a wide demonic grin was plastered on his face.

"He...hehaha." The Primordial God laughed. "Is that so? He survived after all of that, that little cockroach?"

"Do not be so hasty, my King," Eury squeezed his shoulder once again, trying to calm him down, as he stopped laughing and looked at her while trying his best not to glare. "Listen to what I have to say."

"...Speak, Eury."

"We mustn't kill him, at least not by your hands." Eury held both his shoulders with her hand to make him face towards her, smiling at his frown while she suggested her idea. "Let me handle him this time. As the Creation Goddess, I think I have a way to use him... and revive Fotia through his dead body."

[Dimension of Manifestations]

Neji spent a few hours with Luck, finishing up their deed and taking a shower in that time before Luck deemed it time for Neji to leave for his journey once again. Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com

"I want to spend time with you more than you want with me," Loli Luck said as she sat on the bed in front of Neji, wearing a towel that wrapped around her younger body. "But we do need to be quick. Time in my place is the most unstable, but I have connected the timezone here with the other worlds I have found, where the other girls are currently at."

This woman was 7"2 tall, according to Jogan, whilst Neji was still 6"5 still even after Lady Luck called him out on it. He liked being tall, after all.

"Thanks," Neji gave her a smile, unlike the cold shoulder from last time. "Your card helped me out once, though it wasn't a real use." That, and for her to stand by his side seemed to scare all the other passengers from approaching the talk of everyone, the infamous Gamer.

"I thought so," the woman replied. "I have a collection with my cards, such is why I can feel it when a cardholder calls for me, but the card I gave you lost all its connection after you left the elevator. You must have put that in your Inventory thingy, right? Anyway, when you took it out again for a minute, I felt it, I would have descended in that world if you kept it out for a bit more. I thought you wanted to call me but didn't know how to use the card. Anyway, if you need my help. just put mana in it, or whatever energy you use works too."

"Thanks," Neji nodded. "I will use it if it is really necessary, though you never disclosed what the 'price' for your help is."

Famine was about to open her mouth, but right then the elevator voice spoke.

[Next Stop, Neji Hado. Please be prepared to get off.]

"Heh," Famine smiled. "Next time, I suppose."

"Next time, yeah." Neji gave her a last nod, before walking over to the gate.

The elevator gate opened for him to see a world of rainbow colors outside, where he paused and then took a step forward.

Unlike last time, when Neji couldn't even figure out where he was standing, this time he felt something, he felt the divinity behind this, he felt the authority of space travel on these colors, as the rainbow shone brightly and his mind went blank.

When the light finally subsided, Neji's eyelids slowly opened, and he found himself sitting on a throne with a wine-filled goblet in his hand.

"..."

The goblet, where his face was reflected on the smooth surface, was golden, and that gold seemed to contaminate his usually blue-system windows as golden text boxes began to pop up over his eyes.

[The substitute procedure has been completed smoothly.]

[After calculating the pre-existing record of this body's identity, new sub-titles have been added to Master.]

[The feature, Sub-Title, has been unlocked.]

[The Sub-Title "Humanity's Last King" has been added.]

[The Sub-Title "Caster" has been added.]

[The Sub-Title "The King of Heroes" has been added.]

"...Oh, for fucks sake." Neji groaned while he stood up. "Loli Luck, may you explain in what way or form I seem similar to this douchebag?"

With that said, the King of Hero variant of Neji's journey began in this verse of Grand Order.
