Chapter 1028 Those Universes Look Interesting...

(MC POV)

I came out from my room, smoothening my clothes unnecessarily after having that very… Informative session with Diao Chan.

I say unnecessarily since Xun Guan was still acting as my clothes so she always made sure my clothing was immaculate without me needing to do anything in the first place.

"Ara, ara? That was quite a long lesson, Master~" Manami noted when she saw me. "Where is Diao Chan?"

"She's… Well… She's recovering inside right now."

Manami peeked through my open door to see Diao Chan laying on the ground completely naked with her legs spread wide apart, her body covered with proof of our lovemaking while a very satisfied expression adorned her face.

"Ufufufu~ It seems like she really enjoyed herself, Master~ How are you feeling now?"

Hmm? Why is Manami asking this question? Do I look like I'm in distress or something? Or does something look off about me? I don't get it?

Then I realised after a short while that she was referring to how I had changed because of the Origin fragments, can't believe I'm losing focus like that. It feels like I'm at different places at once…

"I'm fine, Manami. I can't say I've fully recovered yet, I suppose… But there's no need to worry about me, really."

Manami gave me a look that showed me she didn't believe that one bit but smiled at me regardless, "Ufufufu~ That is good to hear, Master~"

I then turned back to look at my courtyard, only to notice that a few people were missing.

"Umm… Manami? Where's Eris and Elaria?"

"Ara, ara? Elaria said that she would be going back to her lab back at her place to prepare something. And as for Eris… Ara? Now that Master mentioned it, she's been missing for a while now."

I frowned, "Missing? Where was she last… Oh wait, I can just use my omniscience to find her. Guess I'll do that."

I closed my eyes and focused on finding Eris and--

…

"See anything, Master?"

I opened my eyes and I was staring out to the ocean with Eris standing beside me, all dressed up in a pirate outfit and grinning at me.

I smiled at her, having picked her up from the bandits, the both of us went ahead to start a pirate crew to look for the fabled treasure of the previous pirate god. With our crew, we have fought through a multitude of other pirates that were after the same goal and--

Wait a minute? What the heck?

Where the hell am I? I'm looking for Eris! Bring me to Eris! Omniscience!!

…

I opened my eyes again and this time I'm… In a throne room?

"Master, with the execution of the Royal Family, Master is now King of the Beiyang continent!"

Ah yes, we decided to stage a coup against the Royal Family to crown me King. Now Eris is serving as my right hand and… What the fuck?!

This isn't right either! I said bring me to Eris!!

…

"Master! We have an order of a cafe au lait and two latte macchiatos!" Eris called out while wearing her waitress uniform.

"Coming right up!" I called back instinctively, already pulling out cups from the holders to prepare the drinks.

It's the peak hour in our little cafe right now so I have to remember to also make sure the pastries are all in order otherwise it's going to be problematic if we run out at the worst of times. Thankfully Eris is manning the floor today so I can ask--

What the heck is going on?!!!

Bring me back!!

…

I gasped and found Manami looking at me with concern.

"Master? What happened?" She asked, her tails curling around me protectively.

"That… Wait… No… What is this? Why are there parallel universes? Since when?! I was pretty sure there was only one before this! Omniscience!"

Omniscience showed me the scene where I was searching for Cai Hong and tried to find her in alternate dimensions. Failing that, I started creating alternate universes just to find if she had made one to hide herself in, creating entire branches of parallel universes to start manifesting themselves from that one decision alone.

I could see now that Origin energy had seeped out from me and spread itself out throughout the space of reality, flowing out to seep into all those universes.

Has this… Has this happened before?

…

Oh, it has. And what happens if I were to destroy all the other universes to leave just this one universe?

…

The Origin energy would either form new Origin fragments and crash back into our universe or flow back into me, which might worsen my condition or even cause this universe to collapse and destroy everything.

Ok… So if I wanted to deal with this, I'll need to do… Hold on a fucking minute. I'm supposed to be omnipotent aren't I?! Can't I just make it such that this wouldn't happen?!

…

Oh, I can… I just never thought about it. Ok, my bad.

So I can just do this with no consequences, so let's just… Eh? Eris is currently caught up in the space between universes and found alternate versions of herself? What the heck was she even doing for that to happen?

…

Oh, she's looking to ascend huh. I guess that makes sense, she's practising Cosmic Discordance after all so I guess it's also partly because of her that this happened.

If she manages to ascend and gain complete control over her domain, she might actually be able to merge the other parallel universes into one and this problem will solve itself.

Cool, that just means I can leave this problem alone.

Ok, good, let's just move on then. What was I doing again? Oh right.

"So did I miss anything?" I asked Manami who was still wrapping me up in her tails.

She looked like she was taking a moment to look over me to check if I was really ok before she nodded, "Ara? Not really Master. It does look like Master got better I suppose."

"I know. Anyway, Eris seems to be in the midst of her own ascension so you don't need to worry about her. On the other hand, let's get ready for our bath."

"Ara, ara? I can't wait then, Master~ Ufufufu~"

Mmhmm… Yeap. No problem at all.

Parallel universes? That's just like another Monday thing, I'm sure it'll sort itself out later on.

…

Those other universes actually look quite interesting though… Maybe I'll just take a peek at them later?
