Wildcards

A/N: Dear translator of this fic... I wrote with many Japanese or Korean dialogue stereotypes... Like, I don't think anyone would understand the joke I made with "Kumo-tarou" in the first volume or something like that. You're free to improvise. Seriously, like if somehow I were to translate a sentence from English to Indonesian, it'll be translated into the most awkward formal way possible, so much so that it doesn't even feel like anyone's going to say that certain dialogue in any situation. There may also be confusing sentences, So feel free to improvise, in your own way.

--- Okamura Akihito's POV ---

It's about time I gave you a name, Samzaya.

Let's see... TANJIROU!

«Report: please don't joke around»

Hahaha, so your pattern of speech is getting better after all?

«Answer: It is your imagination»

And there she goes again with her usual arguments... What a bummer.

Well then, "Sophia"... That's your name.

«!!?»

In the context of power, I am not just a spiritual being. I am a spiritual being who has the ability to manipulate the Nihility, meaning... I am a Digital existence.

I feed off nothing, and will not disappear.

The ability to turn into information particles was so strong that I can't help but create many parallel universes with just a thought or my human desires had I not had Samzaya.

Meaning, I will become a god to other universes and will completely kill all of them the moment I woke up from my dreams.

Geez talk about a certain H.P. Love Craft...

That's what will happen when you are a being that doesn't need Magicules or energies to exist.

I am nothing but Information Particles, I simply exist and influence the world, and nothing would be able to influence me without my consent.

But Nihility has become too powerful.

«Notice: 『Manas: Sophia』 was born from Ultimate Skill『Vigilant Lord: Samzaya』.    This announcement was concealed by Manas: Sophia»

Therefore, just like how I remembered Tensura's story goes. I will need just more than Raphael or Samzaya to manage it, I will need a Manas.

«I am Sophia... I will always be on master's side! Please treat me well!»

You hear that? I'll be sure to "treat" her well, but that sounds like a problem the future me would face.

For now, I will just focus on upgrading my skills.

«Master, would you like to proceed with organizing the ultimate skills?»

Yes, I'm counting on you.

«HAI! Skill manipulation success: Samzaya, Mordred, and Veldanava have been integrated into one!»

«Report: Ultimate Skill,『Malevolent God: Yaldabaoth』 has been successfully synthesized!»

(A/N: Yaldabaoth is the son of Sophia, the personification of wisdom in Gnosticism, with whom he contends. Here's for those who want to see my references)

Hoooh~ sasuga (as expected of) Sophia-sensei~! Wa... Somehow I feel like turning into Rimuru...

Now then...

With this, at least my paranoia will be relieved for a bit.

*Ding*

[New quest has arrived]

.

.

.

[Voting has begun]

[Administrator Y: Let's start with the voting shall we?]

[Good Slime: You're literally our only admin.]

[Administrator Y: Not sure about that...]

RIMURU in his world took notice of this with an "Eh?" Before the next notification came out.

*Ding*

[Titles have been updated]

[New admin has been set, "The Little Sister" will now be listed as "Administrator F"]

[Tempest Monarch: Oh, my name changed...]

[The Destroyer: Mine is still the same!]

[White Monarch: (this message has been deleted)]

[White Monarch: Master, @AdministratorY when will you get home?]

[Tempest Monarch: Shiraori-san I suppose? Why are you calling him master?]

[Shadow Monarch: I'm sorry, but I don't think I'd be able to join the next quest @AdministratorY]

[Administrator Y: It's fine, JinWoo-ssi]

[Administrator F: Onii-chan, I am still managing Aincrad, so please tell everyone that you do the quest.]

[Administrator Y: I know, as everyone can see, Hiromi seems to be busy, so be sure to vote for me and leave her alone @everyone]

[Tempest Monarch: Roger that.]

[Tempest Monarch has voted for administrator Y]

Then Rimuru went to Milim and teach her about the voting feature.

"Um?? Is this how you do it-noda?

*Ding*

[The Destroyer has voted for Administrator Y]

[Shadow Monarch has voted for Administrator Y]

Then it goes on the same with all the members.

[White Monarch has voted for Administrator Y]

[White Monarch: @D please vote for master]

[D: Understood.]

[D has voted for Administrator Y]

[Tempest Monarch: D-san is also speaking differently now... What happened?]

Most of Rimuru's questions were ignored to the point the slime himself was annoyed.

"These guys sure are passive..." He mutters with a frown on his face.

.

.

.

[Administrator Y: Now then, who will join the quest?]

[The Destroyer: ME ME! I'M IN!]

Said the newest member of the group chat. She is also one of the strongest.

*Ding*

[Curse Monarch: Hai hai~ I'll do it too!]

[Attachment: (File) Annoying_Nanamin.jpg]

[Attachment: (File) Angwy oji-chan.jpg]

He enthusiastically said he'd joined whilst showing a... "Questionable" pictures to the group.

And there's another unpredictable variable of the group.

Two members of a true powerhouse.

[Administrator Y: Are you sure, Gojo? I've made sure you don't get involved. But why is it that you're coming along?]

Translation: I promised you only need to become a member for me to hand you over the finger of Ryomen Sukuna. I never required you to participate.

[Curse Monarch: Heeeh~? Really though? I doubt it.]

Translation: You deliberately sent me skills and objects to make me stronger. Trying to manipulate me to become your wildcard, seriously... Why are you even trying to sugarcoat your words now?

Once again, the server has become some sort of field where psychological war happens.

It has been quite a while since D's incident. The chat group was a bit surprised to see how "Administrator D" got forcefully demoted. And obviously, Akihito had something to do with that.

Gojo scrolled up a bit to see how the chat was before he joined and found out about the two.

He can clearly see how D and Akihito had hidden hostility against each other despite the ambiguous codes they sent to each other.

Thus, he came to the conclusion that war for control happened in this chat group.

But mostly he just found out how to speak with riddles against Akihito.

[Administrator Y: Ah? Did I get found out? That's sad.]

Translation: Very sad, since that may mean I should bribe you to shut you up, or I get rid of you.

[Curse Monarch: Don't be, I'm just happy you're not like the elders here, if you know what I mean?]

Translation: don't mind it, I assure you I'd listen to any of your plans if you're not a coward like them.

[Administrator Y: Ah? But I am also a coward you know?]

Translation: You sure you would let me decide your fate?

[Curse Monarch: A coward who has the ability to survive due to their fear is still better than a coward who panicked, so much that they can't figure out which is an enemy and which is not.]

The elder that Gojo hated so much made so much fuss about having Itadori Yuji killed.

They still think the Ryomen Sukuna inside of him is dangerous even though Gojo Satoru had made a thesis that Yuji has zero cursed energy inside of him as he is now a human that has connections to Magicules due to Akihito's interference.

Those guys couldn't even tell the difference between their enemies and allies.

They love to discard wildcards to solve simple problems, especially when the wildcard literally swears allegiance to them.

The more you live with their ideologies in mind, the more you'll be discarded quickly.

So if there was a situation Gojo need someone to use him, he would prefer someone who can actually manage him instead of those who think he broke after one use.

[Administrator Y: Alright then, but don't complain if you hate it later on]

"Heh, I'll just wish for that not to happen"

Gojo who has now completely discarded his blindfold looks at the screen on his hand.

But one thing strange was very noticeable from the unusual-haired sorcerer.

It was the pile of bodies under him, they seem to have stable breathing but the bloodlust let out by a certain old man across the room has spoken clearly of what happened.

He puts away his smartphone and looks at the old man with many guards surrounding him.

"Yo, Jii-chaan~ I was a bit irked earlier... So I forgot how to knock." Without his blindfold, his widened eyes and smile of mischief were looking much scarier and more dominating combined with his eccentric personality.

"What are you here for?" The man desperately masked his killing intent.

And finally, Gojo grinned.

"I plan on taking 'vacation', for a while... And I don't want anything to happen to Yuji-kun. So I came here to tell you that."

While a calm and friendly smile was shown on his face, the Monarch Haki he lets out was enough to make the black-suited man next to the old man LITERALLY Pissed himself.

"(Kozō) Brat...!!!" The old man only has hatred that reflects in his eyes.

But even the old man realizes it too, Gojo who always wears a blindfold appears with a confident smile on his face without covering his eyes.

Did he manage to control his eyes?

No, that's not the case.

In fact, it wasn't because he have tamed his eyes, but because his body has become powerful enough for him to absorb that much information without exhausting his brain.

Noticing that fact, the old man couldn't utter a single word.

"Ah and just a warning... I've stated that the Ryomen Sukuna Yūji-kun possesses is not a cursed spirit... They have created a Mutualistic symbiosis. This means if you tried to kill Yūji-kun... Sukuna will strike back."

It took a while for the world to accept the existence of "Magicules", after all... It's not like there's an internet for Jujutsu Sorcerers.

So you can't really be a Karen and use articles written by a nobody as "evidence" that Magicules aren't real.

"So what I am doing right now is clearly giving helping all of you. Helping so you do not embarrass yourself or die in Sukuna's hands, that is..."
