Chapter 498: The Overlay; the Merge of Dreams and Reality

Beyond the temporal field of the omniverse, the Feminine Side of Beyond Omnipotence sat on a cosmic throne. Her eyes glued to the hologram screen ahead, she watched Kimi and the red-skinned Neji share a look as they both teleported away.

"Yes! He succeeded!" Kurai cheered from She Beyond Omnipotence's lap, who let out a laugh and watched the screen with a satisfied grin.

"Aww, he sure did," she said. "And he did it the most right away too. This was the only correct answer in his situation; he managed to salvage the situation by making Maestro Myth return too. The two possibilities are in enough sync now."

"So it seems," Kurai frowned at her and said, "Even if there were so many changes, none of them matter since the result was his 'death' in both possibilities. Though in one he died for real, but in this one it's a setup."

"So cute~" The woman older than eternity raised Kurai to the air and grinned. "You're so much smarter now, a decade of watching omniversal TV paid off, it seems." It had almost been a decade here, nine years to be specific, as Raki was too bored to sit and watch every little thing, and used artificial intelligence to speed up the scenes where it counted.

Still, nine years was double that of Kurai's age. She spent a lifetime watching TV. She's been too spoiled by the Entity.

Raki rubbed her cheeks with Kurai's. "I wanna keep you with me. Will you stay? I'll gift you so many things." She looked into the cat's golden eyes with her own, silted golden eyes. Her own cat-like smile was a contrast to Kurai's bored lips. "Such a cutie. Stay with me?"

"Never. You're weird."

"How rude. I'm hurt."

"I do not give a fuck."

"Don't curse, your father will blame me," Raki shrugged, not minding that a little kitten just cursed at her. She liked it more rather than the scared state Kurai carried herself with in the beginning.

"You deserve it. One day Papa will beat you up," Kurai said, huffing in arrogance.

Raki laughed and snapped her finger at the hologram and it sped up. "Anyway, let's finish the movie. When it reaches the Interlude, I will have to paste this possibility into the current timeline and merge this with the other possibility. Ugh, so much work."

Kurai focused on the screen too, her vision zooming into the screen.

"How long till we reach the present?"

"Hmm, like a few millennia. Be patient."

"Use your Omnipotence and give me a solid number."

"Nope, too boring."

"Ugh."

And so, the two girls chattered while the screen moved fast, winding up a couple thousand years in mere hours.

Neji studied the Primordial for a century, to make sure he could pull off his impression of the Red God when the time came. Thankfully, by having absorbed the Primordial, he had received the Red God's memories too. They helped pull off the act much more.

"Ohn~"

So he knew that the Primordial didn't have much of a sex appeal these days; he did have them in his younger days, and as a God King his bed skills were nothing to scoff at, but sex seemed to have gone boring for him after eternity. So he hadn't bedded his wife in a long time.

Neji changed that the moment he returned to [Nowhere], Primordial's home, where he threw Eurynome on the bed and ravaged her like a beast for two years.

"S-someone is excited today~" she moaned under him as he blew her back out, pulling her hair and fucking her in ways a God Queen shouldn't be.

"L-looks like you loved feeling your blood pumping after a long time," Eury moaned and said, but Neji couldn't care less about her yapping. He loved fucking the woman who thought she was making love with her husband.

There was a certain forbidden pleasure in hate-fucking her like a bull, knowing that she thought she was making love with her husband. How much he wished he could show his real face to her and watch her expression change.

.

Neji enjoyed her for a whole month. Now they were in the grand bath, as big as a planet even by the Primordial's size. He stood in front of a mirror, staring at his reflection with a soft smile on his expression,

Red skin, four arms, four golden eyes, and majestic long white hair. Right now he looked like a fucking monster, but he couldn't lie, it felt great to steal his enemy's identity.

'You're not half bad anyway, dude,' Neji thought at his reflection. The technique used to pull off this transformation was on a grade that nobody could see through; currently, in all of the Omniverse, Neji was the strongest, so he could fool everyone.

"What are you doing there~?" Eurynome yawned as she looked at him from the water. She swayed her body in the water, her ass peeking and jiggling at him, as she invited him. "Come over already, I'm dying waiting."

Neji smirked and walked over to her. This was so much fun.

..

After enjoying Eurynome in the bath for a few days, Neji decided to move on to the other pleasures the Titanic God-King's life provided. Although the Primordial rarely relished in all the pleasure sources his realm had to offer, as he had tasted them all already in the last eternity, they were new to Neji.

Despite how strong he was; he hadn't tasted these pleasures. For the last century, he had only worked and worked; Leveling Up was his only goal in life. Now, he had orgies to slip into, otherworldly foods to enjoy, the greatest gamesmarvels of technology and magicto play and beat, rest in ways unimaginable before, have the greatest beauties serve him tea, and all the other mundane yet grand things. He didn't plan to miss any of them.

While it might be suspicious to a few if he were to suddenly regain interest in these things, Neji had the excuse thatafter reaching near death, he regained interest in the mundane. An enlightenment, if you will.

As for the problems in his life? Enemies? Struggles?

Nothing. There was nothing of that sort. Neji was the strongest now. He had nobody that could challenge him. He had only a life to enjoya waiting game to play. He used Kimi's information source, which she had collected from the part of herself that she had sent to the future, to keep the overall history of the omniverse the same as the other possibility.

He just had to wait, live life lavishly while his girls believed him dead and suffered and wait until Neji of the other possibility was born.

A few millennia passed, and that incidentthe start of the Domino EffectNeji, the Gamer, was finally born.

There was a small problem, our Neji, the Neji 2.0, couldn't spectate the childhood and other stuff of this new Neji 1.0. He was only allowed to follow Neji 1.0 after his fated death by his mother who pushed him off the boat and into the shark's mouth. Apparently, it would mess with things too much if he viewed anything before that, or at least that was what the Beyond Omnipotent said.

Still, Neji confirmed that the part of Kimi who was sent to the future came and pretended to be Lucille for years. Neji 1.0 died in his first life and entered the Wheel of Reincarnation.

It was time when our Neji, Neji 2.0, the one who had returned with Icons, sat on the edge of his seat to play more actively in this game of chess.

* * *

[First Person Point of View Neji, as the Primordial]

I watched everything as Neji 1.0 met Fotia in the Wheel of Reincarnation. I read my other possibility's head and watched him wonder why a Goddess with a fiery temperature had been locked there for so long.

Of course, he had no way of knowing that the real Primordial had put her there as a form of punishment after he found out that she hid my identity because of stupid love.

Unknown about the grand scheme of this omniverse, Neji 1.0 received the Gamer System, which prompted Fotia to call forth me, the fake Primordial, to handle the situation.

One might wonder why she did that; why did she hate the Gamer System if she was in love with the First Gamer? I read Fotia's mind and realized that she was angry at poor Neji for another reason. She hated that a kid was trying to replace the man she loved; how cute.

Not that it'd ease the life of this Neji in any way. Using Future Sight, my guess was on the spot. The narrative of Fotia's story in Neji's head will be the same in the future because everyone else will tell him that the First Gamer raped Fotia, and Fotia will not care enough to clear those accusations.

But that's in the future, in the present, Neji 1.0 received the [Indestructible] Status Effect just like me and survived the encounter with the fake Primordial, aka me. Before being teleported away, I use a part of the real Primordial's soul that's been a part of me for a long time, to curse Neji 1.0.

Then, Neji reincarnated in the Hero Academia world.

..

For the years to come, I and Kimi worked to make sure that everything went the same as the other possibility. Starting with the 'Letter from First Gamer' in his inventory.

After 15 years in that world, Neji 1.0 met Nawab, who had been in a serial reincarnation for eons by then, and the woman went crazy over him, just like in my world. He defeated her and then after that, he faced his own Battle of Gods.

"Shit! They're calling me now-" Neji's words hung unfinished because he vanished in a flash of light, leaving three women staring at the empty space he once occupied.

The moment his body vanished, a shimmer of otherworldly light filled the omniverse. But it was invisible to the naked eye of everyone; everyone but the Primordial, and Godmother.

The 'Primordial God' staggered slightly on his foot as his entire existence experienced a change. The Godmother's reaction was a bit more dramatic, she fell to her knees and let out a scream as she held her head.

Eclipsia and Lady Luck went still, taking a fighting pose. They assumed the Godmother was attacked in some way, that's why she's suffering. It didn't do their morale any good seeing their strongest rendered in that state.

In the sky, Eurynome Celestine stood in front of a hundred spaceships. She wore a frown of confusion seeing Godmother in that state; she could feel that her husband hadn't attacked her in any way. Why was she on her knees? She also hadn't missed the slight staggering of 'the Primordial'.

The Godmother breathed heavily for a whole minute as Eurynome came down from the sky, flying into the fortress through its broken rooftop. She stopped near her husband and looked at him, "What's going on here? Where did the Gamer go, and why is she acting like that?"

Before 'the Primordial God' could answer her, the Godmother began to laugh from the floor. She laughed like a maniac as she looked at Eurynome, and then at the 'Primordial'. She wore a grin wilder than any as she failed to repress her laughter. "This is so funny."

The 'Primordial' was slightly confused at this too. With a raised eyebrow, he asked, "You remember?"

"I remember everything," the Eternal Samsara stood up. "Prima and Neji are the same, huh? I see. Well, to be more specific, I just received two different sets of memories in my head out of nowhere the moment that boy vanished. It took me a minute of crying to connect the dots."

Nobody else seemed to realize the merge, not even Eurynome. Yet, this woman did. Just what was she that she maintained both memories despite the Beyond Omnipotence handling the situation?

"What is going on? Honey? Wai?" Eurynome asked, sounding a little nervous now as she began to note the change in her husband's expression.

"Welcome back," the Godmother of All Demons smiled up at him. "Neji."

Eurynome's head snapped to scowl at Godmother, and then back at the 'Primordial'.

"Mu muahahahahaha~!" The False Primordial, Neji, threw his arms into the air and let out a booming laugh toward the sky. "Muahahahahaha!!" Of course, just when the merge happened and the Primordial and Neji's presence fought for who should remain, his soul was the one that stayed, since he was far stronger than the Primordial now. He was not only the King of the Void, but also the King of Creation.

Eury opened her mouth and scattered backward, falling to her ass as she crawled back with a fearful expression on her face. Eclipsia and Lady Luck exchanged glances, unsure if their eyes were playing tricks on them or not, while the Godmother began to laugh along with him.

"E-e-everyone!" Eurynome called forth her army as she pointed a shaking finger at the man whom she'd been calling 'husband' for the last few millennia. "Kill this masquerade!"

The Gods at the spaceships hesitated, but Eurynome's loyal subject trusted in her words and leaped at the False God a second later. Class 1 Entities, and a Class 0 too, leaped at Neji with the intent to kill, but it took a wave of his hand as time slowed down and he dealt lethal attacks against his opponents under an attosecond.

When time regained its momentum, those Gods turned to dust and Neji gained a level.

[Ding! Congratulations, you have gained 1 Level.]

[You have reached Level 123,110]

That was his first level in hundreds of years; after killing the Primordial God and gaining about 20,000 Levels, he had rarely leveled up. The Omniverse wasn't strong enough to let him hoard levels like in the past, at least not as fast as before anyway.

He was too strong now.

He stood at the pinnacle of power, how could anyone hurt him now?

"Haah," Neji shrugged as his body transformed, changing shapes for the first time in a thousand years. His bulky frame slimmed down, turning into a lean form, with skin reflecting stardust, and white hair flowing like a lion's mane. His eyes were not red for once, they were blue and bright, as well as the triangle light on his chest.

Everyone here, other than Eclipsia, recognized this form. Two thousand years ago, they saw Neji fight the Primordial exactly in this form, and end up dead. Yet, here he was.

"There is no way" Eurynome crawled on the floor as he met his wide grin. In a face that only had blue eyes and lips, lacking any other features, it looked extremely creepy to the God Queen.

"This" she said, "this has to be a nightmare!"

"It is not," from behind her, a voice spoke. Eurynome's crawling came to a stop as her back hit the legs of someone. She turned her head around and faced a smiling woman who sent chills down her spine. "Hey, it's been a while," the Director of the Last Act smiled.

Eurynome let out a screech of horror, while the Gods in the spaceships finally decided to take action, fully realizing that their Primordial God had been replaced, as they came down to take revenge. The area turned into a battlefield, but Neji didn't even bother to take a look at them. One wave of his hand and they turned into cosmic dust.

The victory fell on Neji's lap.
