ROB1018 watched with widened eyes as Leo killed ROB3012 in front of everyone
He wanted nothing more than tear him to shreads but he couldn't
Mistress Death was standing besides Leo watching everything with calm gaze. Her eyes momentarily turned towards him and all the anger he felt was replaced with fear
He turned his eyes to his side and watched his friends in the same predicament as him.
"...moonless"
He heard a small whisper, confusing him as he watched the scene of Leo killing Light
".....Moonless?"
He heard the same voice call out again this time a little bit closer
Leo who had arrived in front of Davina suddenly turned towards him
He watched in horror as Leo walked towards him as he closed his eyes
"Moonless!"
Jumping in his seat, ROB1018 looked around warily under the confused eyes of ROB4629
"You good?" ROB4629 asked while giving him a glass of water
ROB1018 took a deep breath and sighed
After taking the glass and shooing the other ROBs away 4629 asked "Nightmare?"
Moonless aka ROB1018 nodded "Nightmare"
It has been few days since ROB3012'S death
ROB1018 and 4629 were at their usual diner when 1018 had a little flashback
Ever since the day Leo had killed Light and ROB3012 everyone was on edge
Death didn't just help Leo kill them but had also unleashed a small part of her presence as a prank but ended up damaging their souls in process
Some of the weaker ones had died while the rest of the gods present at the time were suffering from hallucinations, nightmares and some were in coma having almost lost their souls
"Damn that brat" ROB1018 muttered through clenched teeth
Spawn of Chaos aka ROB4629 patted his shoulder "I know you were friends but don't try to do anything foolish or you'll end up the same"
"So I should just let it go? Just like that?"
"No, but you know we can't do anything to him unless he leaves the Marvel Verse."
"So no hope then?"
"Not really" ROB4629 raised his hand and a file appeared in it
He kept the file on the table before sliding it towards ROB1018
"The heck is this ?"
"Answer to your predicament"
ROB1018 was sceptical but still opened it and started reading. With each passing moment his face changed from a doubtful look to a more solemn one
ROB4629 looked at his face and asked "So what do you think now?"
The file contained Leo's or more accurately, Ethan Stormborn's life details including his likes, dislikes, hobbies, habits and his character
Light of the Moonless Night (ROB1018) kept the file back on table with a grave look
Spawn of Chaos(ROB4629) gave him a confused look
"What's the problem now?"
"Did you forget his power?"
"Ah that? That's the least of our worries"
"?"
"He doesn't have a system so his powers won't work outside the designated reality"
.
During the era of 3rd generation, numerous Transmigrators and Reincarnators emerged. The problem wasn't them getting powerful, the problem, was them returning from another world and wrecking havoc in their home world
It led to many conflicts and many Universes/realities being destroyed in the aftermath
One of the fights took place too close a Abyss World and alerted a Transcendent and that was it
The said Transcendent ended the fights throughout the Omniverse and with the help of few Origin Gods, new rules were made
Those who wanted to travel to another Universes had to gain the green signal from the Records or they would face penalty depending of the crimes committed in that reality
Of course there are few loopholes such as the penalty only exists to any Reincarnators, Transmigrators or other beings who wanted to return to their home world.
And to counter that loophole after few realities were destroyed, a new restriction appeared.
Powers gained through the system will only work in the designated Worlds/Universes/realities/dimensions. This too depends on what type of 'story' or world they are in. If it's a Multiversal 'story' or world, then the powers would be limited to that Multiverse only as the moment that person or a being leaves it, their power will be suppressed by other worlds/universe until they lose it.
Worst case scenario, residents of those worlds will capture those reincarnators or transmigrators and take their powers. In which case they can trace it back to their point of origin and invade those worlds
Luckily chances of such events happening are one in tredecillion (1x10⁴²) which isn't a lot considering the scale of the Omniverse
Again, this is only applicable for the first transfer if the being who gained powers and wishes to travel to another realities, they can do so by overpowering the restrictions on the power themselves or just gaining permission from the local authorities which in this case is the Company who act like the overseers of the system related things but are not related to the Records in any way, they just act like it but are a independent organisation like many others
.
ROB1018 look there stunned for a second and tapped his forehead "That did slip my mind for a bit...." he trailed off as he remembered another thing
"Won't Mistress Death interfere?"
"She won't" 4629 assured "Unless she wants to go against the Company and her Father, she won't "
After reading that file, ROB1018 knew Leo would travel to another worlds the moment he finds a way to do that and given the nature of his power, it would sooner than expected
They were just waiting for that to happen when a unexpected news came the very next day
[Time dilation between realities/dimensions, so sometimes time may flow faster or slower depending the distance between the two said realities as synchronicity is a thing and can cause problems and harm any low level universe as there is a possibility of a larger dimension/universe colliding with a smaller one. There have been few such events in past when entire Multiverses collided with another. Also the reason why Marvel and DC worlds often collide with each other, thankfully both are stable enough to only cause minor disturbances such as few worlds being destroyed and few characters accidentally crossing over to another
And Rules are different in each Universe/World/Dimension so time flow isn't the same
P.S There are too many mirrior universes or realities, that's the reason why this 'Rule' is applied throughout the Omniverse ]
"So you are saying she ordered a custom made system ?"
"Hmmm"
ROB1018 nodded while scratching his chin
His contact from the Company, Lily, had just gotten a unexpected order from none other than Mistress Death for a system that only allows dimensional travel with other basic system functions except Shop and Appraisal
"Hack it"
<....Are you serious?>
She asked while rasing her brow
ROB1018 could see she was about to cut the video call
"Wait!"
"I'll take full responsibility"
ROB1018 gulped as he listened to her words
Mistress Death had a fearsome reputation in the Inner Field
In the war between the 2nd Generation and the Gods, she had killed a lot of Transcendents and Creator level Gods including Primordials
Since then no one dared to mess with her.
"Do it" Spoke ROB4629 who popped out of nowhere
ROB1018 jumped in fright by his sudden arrival
"Are you trying to get me killed !?"
"No, think about it. She can make her own system yet she chose to commission one, don't you find it a little bit odd?"
"That...does sound suspicious "
Both ROB's turned towards the screen "Pardon?"
"Fair point"
"And there might be a chance that she wants to mess with him"
"Pretty sure he dragged her around and increased her work load a lot so this might be petty revenge?"
They thought for a while before deciding to hack it. Nothing major just added a small function, if he gets transferred via dimensional travel then this function would kick in and change the co-ordinates to their added one
Thus they waited, not for long as they got a alarm that the transfer was initiated
ROB1018 and ROB4629 were waiting in anticipation but at the last second the transfer was interrupted
And just like that, Leo went off course and slipped through their hands
*Tch*
ROB1018 clicked his tongue as he saw Leo drift towards the Void, away from their eyes
"Lucky bastard"
"Did it fail?" ROB4629 appeared besides him watching the Marvel Verse through system's help before they flinched and hurridely closed the window
"The old man still freaks me out to this day" ROB1018 shivered as he saw One Above All's smile
"Now what?"
"Contact that simp and tell him the news....also alert those Balance keeper wannabes, they might be idiots but they are useful idiots"
ROB4629 froze as he heard 1018 and whispered
"How about we just tell the plot keepers and be done with it?"
"...Let's just do that"
Both of them nodded and vanished quickly afraid of being heard by a certain simp
Sadly they were too late
.....
•Same Universe•
°At the same Time°
*Crash!*
"Wortless Insects!!"
*Sound of breaking stuff*
Lily calmly watched as Broken Zaire trashed around his room like a spoilt brat
She asked with bored eyes
Zaire's eye twitched seeing her indifferent gaze. He took a deep breath and sighed
"I swear if I could, I would've killed that bitch twice" he muttered while rubbing his temple
He waved his hand making the holographic screen fade away when he saw someone that made him jump in fright
"I was wondering what happened to make you trash around like this....Now, answer truthfully son, what happened?"
His father asked him calmly but Zaire could tell, this wasn't the same old man who cared about his son's heart break. This was the ruler of a Universe
"Son...what did she do?" He asked again seeing Zaire keep his silence
Creator God XnemLocAz stared at his son Broken Zaire who was looking down with sweat dripping from his head
"I-I don't know Fa-" "Tell me the truth.Now."
"Arrgk!"
Zaire groaned as the pressure around him increased forming cracks on the floor around him
"Sh- She stole the core of Nether's Avatar!!"
All the pressure he was feeling vanished as his father froze
It took a few seconds for Xnem to react
"Where is it?" He asked
"I-It was gone with the mortal who killed ROB3012 and Light"
*Sigh*
Xnem contemplated for a second while Zaire was fidgeting nervously
"Follow me"
Xnem turned around and walked out with Zaire quickly following him
The moment he stepped out the door, they were in a white space surrounded by clouds
"Father where-"
"Quite. Do not speak a word and behave"
Zaire gave a slight nod when the door appeared in front of them. It opened revealing a teenager who promptly gestured them to follow him
Xnem went in first followed by Zaire
The trio walked in silence as the scenery around them changed from day to night, night to bright green forests, to serene cold winter mountains and to blazing deserts until they reached another door, this time a smaller one
The youth opens the door and let's them walk in before closing it with a bang
Zaire looked back and saw a canvas which had the painting of a desert in it
'We walked through paintings?' He thought a liitle bit amazed as they didn't feel like it.
Everything was similar to real world down to the very last detail and they somehow even managed to replicate real Laws of a World perfectly. Although he was the son of a creator level God, he had never seen anything like this hence his surprise
"Mr Kein. Mr Joe"
His Father's voice brought him out of his stupor as he paid attention to the room.
It was a hall filled with various murals on walls and laying around with many incomplete canvases scattered on the floor
The room itself wasn't that big but weirdly enough everything seemed to fit comfortably without taking unnecessary space
His father bowed his head a little to the two people present in the room. It was a old man who looked like a kind grandpa and a man in black suit, both sitting side to side in front of a painting
"Joe?" The man in suit, Kein asked the kind looking grandpa
Joe chuckled a bit and said "It's an inside joke"
Xnem and Zaire stood there quietly listening to them talk before Joe spoke
"Before we begin. Please take a seat"
Zaire didn't even see how but the moment Joe finished his sentence, they were in front of a empty table and looking at Xnem's bewildered face he wasn't the only one caught off guard
The room had changed. The paintings had vanished. There was a round table in middle with 7 chairs.
Joe, Kein and Xnem were sitting in their seats with Zaire standing besides his father
Although Xnem had questions as to why there were extra chairs he chose to ignore that and got straight to the point
"Mr Joe, I want to talk with the reincarnator that was sent here recently. He has something he shouldn't have in his possession"
"You mean that kid?"
"I do not know if he is a kid but yes, that one"
"Oh then you are at the wrong place I'm afraid"
"Pradon?"
"Some time ago My daughter gifted him a system and someone from your universe decided to hack it. Long story short, he is not here"
Xnem stared with a dumbfounded look and didn't know what to say while Zaire mentally faceplamed and tried not to mention anything about ROB1018 and ROB4629 fuck ups as he too had a hand in that
Zaire was the one who instructed Lily to help them. He was the one who provided the file to Lily who passed it on to ROB4629 who he turn passed it to ROB1018.
He knew 1018 absolutely hates if someone hurts his reputation even a litlle and Leo did just that. Although he didn't exactly do anything but for ROB1018 he humiliated him in front of everyone. Not to mention few tricks he pulled when he didn't get the permission from the Company branch to head to MarvelVerse and get the core himself
Now he was just afraid that his father would find out about this
One Above All (Joe) had a amused smile as he read Zaire's mind without anyone even noticing... well except his friend Kein who just shook his head
"Looking at your face I suppose he had something really interesting?" Joe asked Xnem
Xnem answered in daze
"The one responsible for sending him here gave him the core of Patriarch Nether's Avatar"
"Oh? That does sound like a problem for you huh?"
Kein had a plain look while he was laughing inside and Joe looked intrigued
.
Patriarch Nether is a Heavenly Immortal and just one step away from reaching Golden Immortal realm
He had chosen to go through a special cultivation technique that let him reincarnate in various worlds and understand their laws in turn empowering his original body when his avatars reached his level.
The Avatars were born to random people in random worlds. Only after reaching certain level would they regain their memories of their previous life (technically he isn't dead they just think it is their previous life)
Each of his reincarnated selves were special. They would be geniuses amongst those worlds and would rise to higher levels with ease. They had an ability to instantly comprehend any laws or rules below True Immortal level.
(Saint Realm to Chaos Ancient God Realm from Apotheosis = True Immortal Low-Peak from Everlasting)
Someone having the core would be a cheat like existence in any world and that....caused catastrophe in low level worlds
Other Cultivators came to know of this and hunted down his avatars. Some used the oldest trick in the book and forced them to join their faction or stole their talents
Of course Patriarch Nether was prideful, it didn't matter if they were his avatars, he refused weakness even if they were his clones and let them survive on their own
And thus over time, his clones rebelled against him and he in return fought them and devoured them
Now for Xnem the problem wasn't Patriarch Nether but other Cultivators who were either his enemies or wanted to get their hands on those clones/avatars
Funny story actually, just because his avatars were geniuses didn't mean every genius was his avatar.
So many Heavenly chosen were hunted down, even some system users died early because of this and those who sponsored the said system users(aka The ROBs and some other Chaos Gods) blamed Patriarch Nether. Now what will happen when they found out someone had his avatar....well technically only the core but you get the point
.
Long story short, they will burn Xnem's Universe trying to find that core if the news leaks out and thus, Xnem was rightfully afraid.
Additionally the Avatar who Light killed was the descendant of a Golden Immortal and as we all know, Cultivators are a pain in the ass to deal with.
Kill one of their family member and the entire bloodline will hunt you down....*sigh* wuxia logic
So Xnem was screwed no matter what he did
Technically speaking, he could just create a Human Immortal core and be done with it but it still won't help him. Gods are unreasonable and ROBs are more likely to delete physics rather than answering 'what's 2+2?'.....Basically, they are lazy and irrational sons of bit- I'm cursing too much lately huh?...moving on
Just as Xnem was thinking of ways to get out of this predicament, he noticed OneAboveAll(Joe) having a strange expression looking at a portrait
"Xnem...." Joe said Turing his gaze towards Xnem "You said you needed that core right?"
"Yes?"
"Then how about a bet?" He asked out of nowhere and caught Xnem off guard
As said above, Gods are a unreasonable bunch...well most of them
*chough*FaithGods*cough*
So why would OneAboveAll, an Omniversal being, help him?
"Why?"
"If you already had a champion selected, then why not just bet on their fight?"
Xnem made a confused face "What Champion?"
"Isn't this your champion?" Joe asked while showing a portrait of the unknown man fighting with the girls
Xnem saw it and shook his head "That's not mine"
A notepad appeared in Joe's hand as he checked it "Hmm....but the list says he's from your world"
He passed it to Xnem who read it with a grim look "Can I call the ones responsible for this?"
Joe nodded and Xnem snapped his finger making ROB1018 and ROB4629 appear in the room
They both were holding a juice glass in their hands while wearing Hawaiian shirts and shorts
"What the...." ROB1018 started speaking only to stop when he felt a suffocating presence around him
"Did you send a Transmigrator without my permission?" Xnem asked with a frosty look
They quickly shook their head with trembling bodies while Zaire was making sure to erase his presence as much as possible
Time passed when Joe waved his hand, negating Xnem's presence making ROBs breath
He gestured them to sit on the empty chairs before speaking "No need for theatrics"
"They didn't lie" he said before asking with a amused look
"If you didn't send him, nor did they....then who did ?"
