Chapter 430: The Battle of Gods

—

When the Gods first arrived with their armies, Neji popped an Omnipresent Copy inside his mansion, in his room. He was confident he wouldn't die against even such a large and strong army, but he wasn't confident he'd win. Not unless he prepared for it anyway, with the one single game-breaker inside his inventory.

In the Japanese-westernized room with temple vibes mixed into it, Neji stood in the center of it. He stood near the bed and opened two golden portals in the air. Two items dropped from within; a Gauntlet, and a woman.

The woman stayed on the bed, her use was for later, but for now, Neji focused on the red gauntlet beside her. He lifted it up with telekinesis and brought it to his hand.

"Here it is, the [Boosted Gear]."

He held it in his hand, hearing a voice call out to him from within. It sounded like an arrogant and angry voice, so he used his aura to press down on it, to not let it speak. Ddraig must have been angry at him for handling him like this, so he was yelling. But why would Neji waste time hearing the curses?Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)

Instead, without caring to waste any more time, he used [Mine]. Tendrils of void energy, letting out an ooze of ominous air, leaped out of his hand and wrapped around the gauntlet.

Mine had many functions now, it could even absorb the entirety of a being, not just their powers. But he didn't want to absorb the gauntlet in its entirety as not having to deal with Ddraig's soul was the whole reason he upgraded Mine anyway. He just needed the power, and he scavenged it with ease. The void tendrils drained on the gauntlet.

[Ding! Successfully mined a Conceptual Power from the Boosted Gear.]

[Ability "Boost" has been added.]

===

Name: Boost

Type: Conceptual Ability

Level: Null

Description: The power that once belonged to the Red Dragon Emperor, Ddraig. It allows the user to double his powers every ten seconds by chanting "Boost!" out loud without any limit until the user reaches his limit, whether it's their physical abilities, magic, or demonic power based on the user.

===

Finally, "It's here." The Boost power was his.

It didn't have a Level because it was apparently "Inapplicable" which he understood why, since the ability's whole point was leveling up beyond what it was. It could boost as much as Neji's body could handle; and since a Gamer's whole point was leveling up, he didn't need to worry about that.

This was a cheat code.

Neji could feel unimaginable power on his fingertips now. He had succeeded. There were no tricks, no blockage, he had really just obtained limitless power. It was so limitless that it didn't have a level, there were no numbers that could describe its power on the hand of a Gamer.

He'd have to get used to it, to experience it on what factors he could use it on, and then he'd be unstoppable even by the Gods, prime or otherwise. He knew there must be some form of limits, such a cheat would be illegal otherwise, but that's what he'd have to test out now.

Exactly on the bed, a test subject waited for him, asleep.

"Tiamat." He muttered, looking at the strongest of the Dragon Kings who had been passed out in his inventory for days now.

While the Neji outside would be dealing with Gods, the one in this room decided to mess with the Dragon Queen for a bit, to test out his ability, and to also tame the rough dragon.

He knew having her by his side would be beneficial, so he woke her up. In the meantime, the outside grew chaotic.

* * *

Thanks to the Fate Quetzalcoatl's own powers and experience, she reached a higher Tier than what this world's Quetzalcoatl was. Just as Neji had planned. He had also observed the 'shift' in the faith essence that happened in that instant, so he could do something with it for the other girls too if he tried. Maybe.

For now, though, he had an angry army of Gods to take care of.

Seeing their Chief God fall and get his powers stolen, the Aztec pantheon didn't sit still. After the initial silence of shock passed, one of the leading Aztec Gods yelled and rushed forward. The army followed after him, and a few of the Chinese and Egyptian Gods chimed in too.

A few Gods from the other major factions tried to move, but their leaders raised a hand to stop them. When so many different factions team up together, they wouldn't work all at once, which was beneficial to me. Neji wouldn't be able to handle all of them, especially the leading Gods if they teamed up and rushed at him.

At the very front of the Aztec Gods was a god with a turtle shell for back. He was lower than Quetzalcoatl in Tier, but he was not weak.

[Tonatiuh – Sun God – Mid Tier 49]

The Turquoise Lord, that was him. "Rahh!" The solar god yelled and rushed at Neji, his fists coated in a luminous light. Neji matched the roar of the God with a smile, and his form multiplied a hundred times.

The world's history resonated with her, and the faith of billions of people from not only the present time but also when history after the death of King Arthur rushed to her. In a moment, she was Tier 27 and reached a much higher tier thanks to both her sword and divinity.

[Ryukyu Tatsuma – Dragon God – Tier 56]

Being a person from the Fate universe, she had the innate ability to resonate with her weapons and grow strong. That was why, as long as Excalibur was near her, she was an unstoppable force.

"This is great," Ryukyu said, drawing her sword backward for a thrust. The Egyptian Gods who were rushing at her slowed, pausing, but it was too late. "Perish!"

A wave of holy light blasted out of her sword, and the sky went white. The wave passed over those Gods, and all died.

Voidmancer, Lumomancer, Boosted Gear, Dragon Powers, and his other literal hax. Neji did not hold back, but he didn't go overboard either. He showed off, and he erased his enemies. No battle lasted more than two attacks, and most ended with one.

"Dammit!" Demigod Hercules of Greek yelled, waving his hand. "This isn't a good place for us. Retreat!"

The Pantheon of Gods had no complaints as a portal opened and they jumped in. Neji laughed, but he didn't pursue them. He didn't need to kill all Gods, he wasn't going for a world destruction run – this war wasn't the end of this world – so he didn't stop them if they fled.

When the Gods realized that, the other Pantheons began to run off too.

"Norse shall withdraw from this battle as well," Thor said and his army turned around to fly backward.

Then a few other Pantheons vanished, and the Chinese Pantheon put their tail between their legs and fled too. "Next time it will be different!" Next time he will be full on God, so good luck with that. Neji didn't stop them either, he was busy clearing the Aztec Gods and Egypt.

One by one, all the God factions left the sky. Only the devils stayed, and the angels too, along with a single Pantheon.

"What a sight," said a dangerous voice as Neji finished all the Gods who had dared to attack him.

The hundred Neji copies looked at the person who spoke as they all retracted into one Neji. He canceled his Susanoo and looked at the blue-skinned God. It was Vishnu.

[Vishnu – Preserver God – Tier 61]

A Tier 61 being, that's the second-highest number Neji had seen.

Vishnu was a Preserver, but he was that in the sense that he could stop Shiva if the madman lost his mind and started wreaking havoc. Vishnu was not weak, the gentle smile that he revealed to Neji was proof of that. He was calm even in this situation after witnessing Neji massacre a hundred Gods.

Neji knew why. If anyone, Vishnu was the one who'd be able to neutralize Hakai. And the Gods behind him were strong enough to take on his girls, in the meantime.

The blue God stroked his chin as he stared at Neji before sighing with his eyes closed, "It does not seem to me that you're after world destruction since you let the other Gods run, so I'll leave you be for now. Let us meet later, Admin."

He waved his hand, and his entire army of Gods vanished. There was no need for portals or flying away, he teleported all those strong Gods with a wave of his hand.

An overwhelming victory.

And all of humanity had witnessed him hold his ground against the thousand other Gods. His progress percentage exploded with growth.

Now, only the devils and angels remained.

Neji dropped back to his feet on the peak of his mountain. Quetzalcoatl and Ryukyu dropped beside him; Kurai who was still on his shoulder, licked his cheek as all of them stared at the two organizations.

"Looks like you guys are here to talk," said Neji as a smile bloomed on his face. "Good choice."

Because he wouldn't mind claiming them for more Levels. However, they knew how to behave after what they just witnessed, their faces covered with sweat said enough.

[You have reached Level 5770!]

The head-on battle was fruitful, so he was going to try to get some gains from the battle of brains next.
