Prologue (1)

Year: 2023

Date: 15th August

Seven figures stood opposing each other in a star shaped manner. Some were male, some female. But it did not matter. They were known as the seven figures standing on top of the world. Even the World Government was not able to contend against them. But, their journey had seemed to come to an end. They were all siblings, born from the same mother, and taken care of by the same father.

They were very different from each other, but as siblings, they shared a common trait - they were all battle maniacs, that is, they loved to battle against each other. For the sake of gaining enough strength and reaching their peak potential, they held off from fighting each other, but now the time had come to test who was the strongest. They had made a pact that whomever won their battle would have to kill the others. It was a deathmatch.

But, there was a catch. While it was not one they cared about, it was a catch indeed. They had grown so strong that their fight could potentially destroy the planet itself. But, they were all very selfish, and had no regard for others' lives that may get caught up on their fight. There were no rules.

And so began their fight of amazing proportions. The berserker readied his axe and slashed it down with unimaginable force. He had unleashed a big move at the start. The others were also forced to respond to it with a big move of their own. But, they all had underestimated their own power. The force behind their attacks led to half of the planet being completely devoid of life. They unleashed their own art of fighting. The warrior performed graceful sword dances. The mage let loose elemental storms of terrifying destruction. The berserker obliterated everything in his path. The priest cast spells of light and darkness, a force beyond nature. The summoner released mythical beasts that wreaked havoc. The assassin sent deadly shadow blades that corroded everything they touched. And finally, the reaper with his scythe split reality, breaking the order of the universe itself.

They were too strong. No one could stop them and their unstoppable force on that planet. That was until suddenly, they all reached a unanimous, unspoken decision. They would unleash their most powerful attacks, and whomever could survive would be the winner.

And so they did. All at once, a huge sword slash, a big swirling mass of elements, terrifying axe intent, a yin-yang sign made by light and darkness, a merged phoenix-dragon, a humongous shadow and a slanted slash that seemed to tear through space time collided. The force produced even put a nuclear bomb to shame.

Just as the initial calm of the storm faded away and the ball of clashing energies exploded, time seemed to stop. The whole world was frozen, and the seven siblings were the only ones who could move.

A primal entity appeared. His voice resounded in all their minds. He said "This energy ball is too powerful. I cannot allow it to explode, or else it will tamper with time itself. You all are too powerful for this low level world.

The Supreme Overseer has given me permission to transport all of you to a different world. But the energy cost for doing so is astronomical. So I will have to combine all of your souls." He then asked them which world they wanted to go to, and said it had to be peak level one. They all simultaneously responded that they wanted to go to a world filled with magic and advanced technology. The entity agreed. He said, "The world you will be going to is named Eternia."

He introduced himself as a XXXX level overseer and said that he was now going to combine their souls. He positioned his arms horizontally far away from each other, and then brought them closer. Reality itself rippled as all of the seven individuals' bodies were brought together and combined into one. But the real part being combined was their souls. Since they were all so similar, the entity faced no problems while combining them. Before combining them, he peeked at their potential.

This 'Potential' of theirs signified their limit where they could not grow stronger and was directly linked to their souls.The overseer was bamboozled by the extremely high potential he was seeing. The overseer could see their potential clear as day due to the omniversal system, that was established by the Existence level overseer to govern the omniverse in his stead. This screen was visible to every living being existing, and displayed important information regarding them. Its function increased as the level of the world increased.

The screen displayed their potential as completely same for all of them, and it was Supreme Rank.

This was astonishing, as this rank was a one in a trillion talent, and there only existed 1000 individuals with such a talent at the same time. But, somehow, no Supreme Ranks had died recently. This would mean that the six individuals were fated for a higher rank. As the soul merging ended, the overseer could not believe his eyes. He had never been so astonished in his lifespan spanning millions of years.

The system screen displayed their potential as Existence or Ex Rank.
