Chapter 464: Why Don't You Give Me Your Blind Trust?

-「For this is the end, I have drowned and dreamed this moment, So overdue, I owe them, Swept away, I'm stolen...」

Although Neji had witnessed Icons singing before, he never had the opportunity to ponder why such a power was used that way. Looking at the million Icons in the sky that sang in unison, he understood that this feature was simply added because the Beyond Omnipotent entities lacked a music player.

A chill ran down Neji's spine at the realization.

'A million [Icons]...'

There was an almost invisible, dome-like area around them. If not for that, Neji didn't doubt that his existence would have crumbled like glass.

Apart from the existential threat, he was more curious about what she just said. It's not as if a being of her caliber would experience speech problems, right? Then what did she mean?

"System," The entity, [SBOP], raised a hand at Neji and he suddenly gagged. A slithering form swept out of his body, with long white hair and blue eyes.

All of a sudden, Neji felt a piece of himself missing. His 'Control' over the system was gone, he couldn't even bring out his Status Screen. He didn't feel powerless, but he couldn't access his System features. Sisty was gone.

Raki's hand didn't touch Sisty, but the world around them did. The Icons in the air shimmered, and an invisible force gripped Sisty and brought her to face Raki. Her golden eyes peered deeply into the AI. "White hair, blue eyes. You appear to be in harmony with the Gamer. No wonder you attempted deception."

Neji stood up, "Let Sisty go! It's not her fault-"

"Silence." The entity said, and Neji's lips zipped. His lips fused shut as if sealed by a literal zipper, silencing him instantly.

He began to use his divinity and authority over his own Icons to open it, to no avail. While Raki spoke to Sisty who was choking because of the powerful aura Raki was exuding. "I... I knew you wouldn't be tricked... that's why I..." she struggled out, while Raki smirked.

"That's true. You'll need to try harder if you want to trick me; saying 'The Gamer shattered the wall between Reality and Dreams' was obviously bait." She nodded, tossing her form beside Neji.

"I doubt I need to introduce myself, you came here knowing it. I like to go by Raki, the One Beyond Omnipotence," she said as if she was the only one, claiming with an arrogant tilt of her head. "I shall look over this mistake if the reason you three came here is interesting. On that note, isn't that a Nergal?"

She stood up and approached Neji. Her golden eyes stared down to look at Kurai, who tried not to hiss at her, narrowing her own golden eyes. Kurai's black fur was glistening here, almost reflecting the stars like the woman's hair.

She Beyond Omnipotence smiled softly, "Come here," She asked but didn't wait for an answer, she couldn't be bothered to. She didn't pick up Kurai, the cat just appeared in her hands. Neji didn't react negatively, he let her take Kurai as she didn't seem to have any harmful thoughts.

Raki returned to her little throne and sat down while running a hand down Kurai's back. Kurai glared at her throughout it all but didn't say anything. Kurai could feel that the one wrong move and the entity might as well throw them out of this dome, and into the pressure of the Icons.

"I like how this one looks," Raki said with a hum, pondering over something. "But a Nergal? What was a Nergal doing in your Omniverse? They don't exist there. Someone must have brought it there- ah, right." She blinked, and her eyes shimmered for but an instant. Neji could see lights as if hundreds of realities, worlds, and Omniverses formed and died in those pupils. All of a sudden, she knew everything there was to know about this situation. "There it is. That Kimi girl brought this kitty there a long time ago. What a little schemer."

Neji frowned at the situation, and Kurai also looked confused. Were Nergals really that rare?

Instead, he moved on to the main point. While Neji was sure that this place existed outside time and space, he still wanted to get out as fast as he could.

"I summoned myself before you, Miss, because I'm stuck in quite the conundrum. Back in my world, the Primordial God is after me, and killing my people. He's also the one that killed 'Kimi', the Director, too. At first, I only came here to ask you about a way to bring Kimi back, but now I am unsure what to ask. I do want her back, but even if I get her back, the situation below would not change. She died at his hand already, so it's not as if we can beat him just because I got her by my side. So I... my wish is, I just want to fix all this somehow." Neji said, keeping his tone respectful.

He wanted to fix all this no matter the cost. He would put his pride on the ground and stomp on it if it could help him. Not that he had any pride left at this point, after losing everything. Of the countless universes that were destroyed in that fight, he was unsure if DxD survived. Heck, maybe even the Naruto and Fate worlds were in there. Neji had all the reason to believe that he had nothing left to his name.

"Hey, I'm not a wishing genie." She let out a soft, derisive chuckle that seemed quite condescending. "And I told you not to waste my time, this is not interesting at all. The only reason I'm still here is because of the kitty."

That was frustrating. Did he have to play into her palm to make things interesting? At this point, he didn't mind doing that. But how could he? He was unsure what a being of this caliber would find interesting.

On that thought, he decided to be honest with it.

"...Pardon me, but I'm unsure what can be interesting to a being as old and powerful as you. To most people, the situation where the Primordial God is trying to kill me would sound interesting. But if that doesn't budge you, I am unsure what will. I am not giving up, I am simply asking you how to make this interesting for you. I am willing to do anything and everything to make you interested."

"Hoh," she smirked as if amused. "At the very least you're not rude. Good grief. But you see, I can't help you with this. Not in the ways you're expecting anyway. Me and Brother are in a merchant-type relationship with the Prime and the Cube Omniverse of your reality, so the Primordial God, as the Ruler of Prime, is a dear customer. I won'tkill him for you."

"But you can help me in other ways." He said and she smiled. "I'm willing to do a lot. Just tell me a solution."

She smiled. "Telling you a solution? Where's the fun in that? I can't tell you that, but sure I'll allow you an opportunity to grow. I can't tell you the details, but you should prove your conviction by trusting me anyway. You can trust me blindly since it is for the sake of you and your women's lives, right?"

"...."

"You'll find the details on your own. Actually, I think you'll realize everything the moment it happens. Your INT is high. So you just have to agree to partake in it.." She said as a smile stretched across her face.

Neji stayed silent. Neji gazed down and pondered. There was a literal Omniversal war going on outside, with himself at its center. Yet, she found that situation dull. So what could interest her? Naturally, a situation that was far tighter than this.

This was akin to making a deal with the devil.

However, Neji didn't even hesitate to make the choice. "I agree."
