123 Fourth Nirvana
Xiao Qiangwei stood up and waved.
Xiao Qianwgei: Yo, I came back from around 10 years of war, and I got some interesting things…
He created a spatial rift for his pocket dimension and put an hand inside it, the first thing he took out was a crystal filled with power.
Xiao Qiangwei: This is the power of the Old Deus that created the Dragons, I used the Blood Essence, but I killed him.
Jibril: From an Old Deus?! Can I have it?! PleasePleasePleasePleasePlease!
Tet observed it for a moment before he nodded.
Tet: This came from Shenleif, heh. Anything else?
Xiao Qiangwei: This is a surprise that you will surely not expect…
Xiao Qiangwei grinned and put an hand inside his pocket dimension, taking out the Suniaster. The only person that got a reaction from it was Tet, whose eyes trembled for some seconds before he calmed down.
Sora: What's that?
Xiao Qiangwei: This is the Suniaster…
This time it was Jibril who got surprised, she remembered the word from Artosh, and he said that it was the thing…
Xiao Qiangwei: … That could make anyone the One True God, in short, Tet's source of power.
Everyone turned towards Tet in surprise, while Sora slowly said.
Sora: So… That thing…
Xiao Qiangwei: Yep, if I use this thing I will become an entity with as much authority as Tet, but I will not do it. This is the world that you and Shiro wanted, not mine. I just need enough strength to enter in the Higher worlds and survive, and with this, I can do it. So you two will use your own methods to have the right to challenge Tet.
Sora: Heh, otherwise where would the fun go?
Xiao Qiangwei: Well, I will use some time to absorb the Suniaster for now, then I have some things to talk about with you all…
Xiao Qiangwei walked away to his bedroom, followed from Jibril, and leaving everyone else behind. Meanwhile Sora asked to everyone.
Sora: Alright, now that Qiangwei is here, we will start with our next steps, prepare your luggages because we will go to another place for a while.
Steph: Eh? Where?
Sora: You will find it soon, let's go, Shiro.
Shiro: Nn…
Meanwhile, Xiao Qiangwei reached his bedroom and sat on the bed, with Jibril at his side.
Jibril: So… Where will His Highness reach with the Suniaster?
She asked curiously, the Suniaster was the thing that every god wanted at Disboard, so it should have a really great power.
Xiao Qiangwei: Probably the 1st or 2nd Great Core, we will see soon.
Xiao Qiangwei placed the Suniaster between his hands and took a deep breath, the Suniaster emitted out a dense light that flowed inside Xiao Qiangwei, meanwhile Jibril watched at the side with an excited face, what loyal servant doesn't want for their master to be stronger?
In a mere minute, Xiao Qiangwei entered from the 2nd Immortal Earth stage to the 3rd Immortal Earth stage… In 3 minutes, he reached the Immortal Sky stage… in 20 minutes, he reached the Immortal Heaven…
And in 30 minutes, he reached the apex of the Immortal Heaven, just some steps away from the Fourth Nirvana. Right now it wasn't the time to enter the Nirvana, he opened his eyes and stood up, his Pocket Dimension turned into a real one, and he felt his power around, if he unleashed a bit of his power here, no one knows how many people will die…
With this power, he is superior to Artosh, the strongest Old Deus 6000 years ago, and with the power he can still absorb, he would reach the 1st Great Core, successfully entering the Heaven-Defying Core realm, and he would be able to use the Doomsday Core again if he in in the deep shit.
Xiao Qiangwei: Alright, now let's start with the talk… Jibril, come with me.
Jibril: Yes, His Highness.
Xiao Qiangwei teleported both himself and Jibril to the throne room, where Sora, Shiro, Steph, Izuna, and Plum were waiting with luggages.
Xiao Qiangwei: What is happening? And where is Master?
Sora: He said that he had other things to do so he left the world, prepare your luggages because we will leave in another place.
Xiao Qiangwei: Oh, don't worry, both of us have already our things in our pocket dimensions, right?
Jibril: That's right, His Highness.
Sora: Alright, then everyone's gathered, hey Qiangwei, you said you had something to say, what is it?
Xiao Qiangwei: Well, I will leave again.
Everyone: ...What? / What, des?
Xiao Qiangwei: Don't worry, this time I won't leave you all alone, I planned to make a clone of me to help you.
Sora: Well, that's reassuring… Where will you go this time?
Xiao Qiangwei pointed on the ceiling and said.
Xiao Qiangwei: Around the entire universe. However, I will need to stay here for 1 month due to the Nirvana, so I will make an Avatar right now…
A part of Xiao Qiangwei's Immortal Qi left from his body, and slowly molded into an Immortal Core, from that core, another Xiao Qiangwei came out, he raised one arm and said.
Xiao Qiangwei 2: Hello there, I'm the Avatar, about my capabilities, don't worry, just think of me as a twin with the same mind as the main body, I am even as lucky as the original if you want to know about it.
Sora: Great! Otherwise I would need to change future plans… So, Qiangwei, what is your trial this time?
Xiao Qiangwei: Well, this time I need to cease to exist for 1 month to enter the Heaven-Defying Core, so for now, Jibril, you follow my Avatar, and remember that he is 100% just like me, there is no difference.
Jibril: Yes, His Highness!
Xiao Qiangwei turned to everyone else and said.
Xiao Qiangwei: I will be back 1 month later to speak about leaving this place, for now, good bye!
Then Xiao Qiangwei's body vanished with a *Pop*, leaving the avatar there.
Xiao Qiangwei: So… Where will we go?
Sora: Ah, we will assemble on the local with Miko and Ino. Then, shall we go?
[Later]
Below a red moon, Sora spoke while everyone walked.
Sora: I always thought… Even since the time I heard about this world, the Ten Pledges and the Exceed…
Shiro: ...How, do you take… the race piece, from someone… that doesn't make, a group… like, an Old Deus?
Xiao Qiangwei: Alright… This is interesting… Any thought about it?
Sora: With that, the Old Deus surely are thinking this, right? "The world that Tet constructed is a game which we gather the pieces of the other races."
Then, with a tone that seemed to mock the Old Deus, Sora continued.
Sora: But, however. That's a complete misplacement, you see… About this.
Xiao Qiangwei: You mean… That it doesn't matter which Old Deus we challenge, if we can win against one, then we will get the piece?
Sora. Bingo! And this is the reason we came here, probably you can sense it now, Qiangwei.
Xiao Qiangwei: Yeah, I couldn't do it before because I was still weak, but "This" is really interesting…
They were currently in Miko's garden, in the Werebeasts' capital, and the Miko was standing in front of them, letting out a bewitchingly laughter.
Miko: I guess I got found out…
Apparently the Miko asked everyone else to stay away from the place, leaving the group and Miko alone.
Suddenly, Miko's aura flared up… No, it was the "thing's" aura that flared up, which was inside her.
The wind swirled and the clouds were blown away, inside the vortex of power she created, she spoke.
Miko: Everyone… I'll entrust to you, my last hand so… The dream I once saw… and then the "Continuation" of the end of that dream…
Sora: Relax and leave it to us.
As if being satisfied with that answer, Miko closed her eyes and then…
"Essence Materialization, Divine Mind: Established… Divinity Configuration: Minimum."
Miko?: Why have you summoned me, beings who have lifespan?
Almost everyone was pressured by that authority and coercion, except for Xiao Qiangwei, who already surpassed the Old Deus in terms of raw power, and he could beat Tet if he goes all out.
Sora: Well, now… Then, how about we start this game already, o bothersome "God"?
Miko?: Your words, certainly I have heard them. As such, you may prove yourselves… But… I cannot understand the folly wishes of wanting to rush to your deaths, mortals who await an unavoidable death.
Sora: Roll call! First, Sora, 18 years old, virgin! Let's coolly answer that I'm hastening my life! I can play with an Old Deus, you know? If I were to let this chance go, I'd definitely fail as a gamer.
Shiro: ...Second, Shiro, 11 years old… Next, we don't have… too much time… to keep waiting…
Xiao Qiangwei: Third, Xiao Qiangwei, my original body is going through a process to be stronger right now, besides, if we are talking about divinity, I am stronger than you will ever be, both in authority and in raw power.
Steph: Eh, eeeeh?! F-Fourth, Stephanie Dola, I don't want to die, I decisively refuse it so-
Jibril: Fifth, Xiao Qiangwei's unworthy slave, Jibril. More importantly, I was about to let a Heaven's Strike fall for insulting my master with calling him a "Mortal", I order you to correct yourself!
Plum: Sixth… Plum, also renowned as part of air, will act accordingly by reading the mood and going with the flow…
Izuna: …? S-Seventh, des? Izuna… Heeeeh.
She was trying the hardest to follow the flow of events with a puzzled face, then she kneeled down with Ino, who spoke towards the sealed Miko.
Ino: Please be at ease, Miko-sama. They're a bunch hardly worthy of trust… But, that's exactly why, please leave it to us.
Izuna: Ah, we will d-definitely beat up… win against that arrogant god, des.
These 8 people, each one was completely unrelated with each other, their age, race, gender, and even their origin were all unrelated.
Miko?: Then you may pledge. With those words, acknowledge your own deaths in this worthless play.
Xiao Qiangwei: Ah, I almost forgot, what is your name?
Miko?: ...Why do you want to know of it, lowermost existence?
Xiao Qiangwei: …
He frowned and spoke with an unamused tone.
Xiao Qiangwei: First of all, you will never call me like that, because even with me, who is just an Avatar from the original one, could snap you and all of the other Old Deus at the same time with a single hand, you understand? I could even clean the floor with Tet as I am now.
The reason why I chosen to send an Avatar instead of going with my original body is because what the original is doing is many times more important than the weakling that is you.
If I am going to be treated as a mortal from you, you can even forget about respect. Fuck it, I won't even give you face even if you become respectful with me, I am stronger than you, I have more divinity than you, and I am a 5th Dimensional Being.
I was once called the strongest of a sect where even the weakest member was as strong as one of the Old Deus, in a single thought I could destroy this dimension you call "Universe". If so I wished, I can even bypass the Ten Pledges that Tet set up. So, learn your place, ant.
Sora: ...I see that you can be as brutal as always…
Jibril: As expected of His Highness, talking to Old Deus as if they were ants…
The god inside Miko didn't spoke anymore and just created the game board
