half step sages

"you thought because i'm in a weakened state you could defeat me?" Sora said with crossed arms while looking at Merlin who was on the ground, unable to move. He look at the blood which covered the ground before shaking his head,

Sora waved his hand butting Merlin onto the bed. He left the bedroom, leaving Merlin who just had her first time, and Di Yalan there getting their rest. but he couldn't help but smile remembering the once calm, reserved woman going wild while on top of him. that look of pleasure Merlin had... it was an image he shall never forget.

as left, a few maids stepped forward. they put some clothing on Sora and helped him get dressed before he went on to go seat on his throne. Silver and Red no longer allowed Sora to do the annoying stuff on his own, as a God, Sora now had to wear new and godly clothing, and couldn't wear the god of conquest armor every day.

"Well, why have you summoned me?" Sora asked as he sat on the throne, and looked at Yamamoto who was kneeling before his throne. this Yamamoto was nothing more than a clone, which Sora allowed to come as he knew Yamamoto would not dare try and disrespect him without reason.

"the one known as Ling Han has stepped forward and is currently stopping us from conquering this first heaven. his strength is also high, and he has given some good points which made me want to first run it through you." Yamamoto said softly, Sora's eyebrow raised hearing Ling Han was stopping them, but he first had Yamamoto tell him the reason.

"... the reason he didn't destroy the heavenly court so many reasons ago, was because the heavenly court's job was to maintain peace within the first heaven and also act on the behalf of the Dao, protect the Dao, and stop all powers from destroying it," Yamamoto said softly, making Sora eyebrow raise slightly

"the heavenly court is the first line of defense but they are the foundation. if they remain strong, then the powers above which also remain strong. as the lord could expect, if the Pangu world is gone, we would no longer be able to use the Dao unless we find another world within the primordial chaos. but even Ling Han hasn't heard of another place... so, what shall we do?" Yamamoto asked softly, Sora closed his eyes for some time before shrugging.

"conquer the first heaven, anything that steps in the way is the enemy. the sages can only watch, and the heavens would not act. so we have nothing to worry about." Sora said calmly,

"... about the heavens, many things have happened in the past hundreds of years. the heavens seem to be gaining a will of its own. Ling Han said he believes it has something to do with the lord." Yamamoto said softly, making Sora's eyebrow raise.

"then find it and kill it," Sora said seriously, one should know that even Sages didn't dare to enter the Pangu world. the heavens were that powerful, not even Sora dared to allow the heaven to gain a will of its own.

the heaven and earth were not biased, only the heaven and earth within the mortal realm were slightly biased towards those born within its world. the immortal realm had its own heaven and earth, one which wasn't biased, even those lifeforms from Hell were accepted by the heaven.

but if the heaven gained a will of their mind, it will start becoming biased towards many lifeforms. it would be bad for many life forms. Sora could forget all chances of breakthroughs if the heavens gain a will, the heavens would not think twice to kill someone as freakish as him.

"well... Ling Han said he was on earth when he left to go search for where the will was going to be born, but only a sage or some treasure could hope to even find a trace. he gives it till the end of the calamity for the will to be fully born." Yamamoto said softly, Sora went quiet for some time before he nodded slightly,

"you need not worry about such things then, I should be fully recovered by then. return and simply conquer." Sora said calmly, Yamamoto nodded slightly before he turned into flames which disappeared.

'i haven't awakened my soul sword, I completely forgot about such a thing.' Sora thought before he saw Hope entering the throne room with a ground of people behind him. Sora calmly stunned them all before his eyes couldn't help but land on the many beauties among them,

"Father, I have conquered the world of against the gods," Hope said as he kneeled for the throne, behind who stood behind him also fell to their knees, not daring to show any signs of disrespect.

"Really? they seem a bit weak, how was the power system?" Sora asked with slightly surprised,

"the against the god world has many timelines, which instantly fused with each of their parrell self upon entering the system. from what I have discovered, only those who don't have a parrell self of them are Ancestral Gods. the major cultivation within that world is Ancestral God, Primoirdal God, and lastly, Celestial God is the highest." Hope said as emotionless as always

"to my left are the 10 primordial gods I could find, behind them are the Ancestral God. to the right are all the people with high destiny Qi, among them is even Yun Chu.. as long can expect, many of them are unwilling," Hope said calmly as Sora went over everyone and landed on Yun Chu

Yun Chu was hatefully looking at him, and his wives also were looking at Sora hatefully, with Xia Qingyue giving him a pleading look to go easy on Yun Che.

"damn, I'm second," Levi said softly as he entered the throne room, Hope calmly turned back to look at him, and sighed seeing that those behind Levi were all-powerful. there were angels, and many people of many races behind Levi, all being extremely talented.

"The world of Bank of the universe has been conquered. the Bank as also been absorbed and is currently having some improvements done to it. I want to make it a Bank of the Omniverse." Levi said with a smile as he kneeled before the throne, everyone behind him also kneeled, while Sora nodded slightly while his eyes remained on Li Xiandao for a few minutes.

Sora didn't say anything, everyone didn't say anything as well as they waited for someone else to enter the throne... and as expected, Seth entered the throne room, drawing everyone's eyes as he had the most people out of everyone behind him. Seth walked in with his arm around James, seemly to be the best of brothers.

"... Into The Multiverse with an Anime System world has been conquered. this guy world is just filled with many things, just look at the countless people behind me." Seth said with a smile, seeing the stunned look that flashed across Sora's eyes. although Sora had his mask, and it was hard to see, he could easily see

"James's system allows him to travel to any world, but the world doesn't exist unless he plans to use the system to go there. so, I had James go to all kinds of anime worlds, from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Fate/Grand Order, Code Guess, we went through every anime world he could enter before he came out. so, before you. I have conquered every Anime... that was without my power range." Seth said making Hope and Levi's eyes twitch slightly at what they were hearing.

"but thats not all, there was also a cultivation world within. Invincible Conqueror, and above that was where I got the strongest beings within. the gods of that world, I even conquered the Great Evil Beast, a monster that devours worlds. James was the hero who was chosen to save that world. So, my lord, you have every anime that's, not an Hyperverse, the Invincible Conqueror, and lastly gods capable of making systems." Seth said making everyone go quiet as they looked toward Sora, waiting what his next words.

"Haha, good..." Sora laughed happily at what he was seeing, he slowly reached out and removed his mask. everyone was blinded by the golden light which seemed to have been covered by the mask, after some time they regained their sight and froze at the face they saw.

"you 3... no, you 4 did a good job. James, I welcome you full-heartedly to my world, but before we do anything let's destroy a few unlikeable people among you all." Sora said with a smile, but his words sent shills running down everyone's spine.

"Yun Che, stand up and step forward," Sora said with a soft smile as he rested his head on his palm, Yun Che's body moved on its own, following Sora's orders.

"Yun Che, it hurts me to know I will have to kill you. with the way you are, I could have given you a good position. police, a slaughter, or something along those lines. so, I ask you, Yun Che, should I kill you? or give you a chance?" Sora said calmly, Yun Che bit his lips but his mouth moved on its own

"I'm unwilling to submit, if you don't kill me now, I shall scheme from the shadows to kill you." Yun Che said as he tried to stop himself from speaking, but he had no control.

"I see... then begone," Sora said in disappointment, Yun Che instantly exploded into a blood mist, holding his palm out, that blood mist flew into his palm, allowing him to gain the bloodline and everyone Yun Che had.

"Well, now I can get to the stuff I truly care about. the big shots among you all. Anos Voldigoad, Gilgamesh, Shirou Emiya, Arceus, Sinbad, Solomon Jehoahaz Abraham, David, Ainz Ooal Gown, Lelouch vi Britannia, Medaka Kurokami, Iihiko Shishime, Najimi Ajimu, Hanten Shiranui, Misogi Kumagawa..." Sora had many anime characters step forward, each with powerful abilities which he wanted or he could put to good use.

all of them found that they couldn't resist Sora's world, they all stepped forward and kneeled, those prideful anime characters had chills running down their spins. they never expected such a thing to happen to them of all people.

"Anos, maybe the most badass anime character I have ever seen. you're the very meaning of the world destruction, capable od destroying all things. I want to make you the god of destruction, but that title is taken. so I will give you an ever stronger title, you shall be the God of Chaos... do you accept?" Sora asked with a smile, Anos was quiet for some time. before he nodded. of course before being here, Seth made her he was going to submit.

with that, Sora nodded and gave Anos his bloodline, along with the title. Anos was quite strong, unlike his wives, Anos' source is the essence of destruction and is hypothesized to be "chaos" itself, which is the lack of and opposite of "all order" without exception. this title perfectly fitted him, so he didn't faint or something.

"Gilgamesh... King of Heroes... now there are two titles I could give you. the goddess of treasures, or the goddess od Heroes." Sora said with a smile as he looked at the female Gilgamesh in front of him, when Seth swallowed their world, everyone from the many parrell worlds fused.

all the Gilgameshes fused, becoming one female Gilgamesh, since the system was a part of Sora's will, it had this happened as it knew what Sora would have wanted.

"What are the benefits of the two titles?" Gilgamesh said softly, Sora smiled slightly before he calmly explained

"the god of heroes. you will be the god of all heroes, you will exist through every hero, helping them raise and save the day. so long as a hero exists, you shall always exist.

the God of treasures... well the same thing, you will exist through every treasure within my world, you would be able to birth treasures, help them be created, and would be in charge of managing all of my treasures. I currently have no one to do such a thing. you would also live forever, so long as there is a treasure, you will exist." Sora said calmly, everyone from the outside world was shocked hearing the benefits of such titles, they all instantly wanted such a thing.

"then I shall become the God of treasures." She said with a smile, Gilgamesh had a unique ability called Gate of Babylon: The King's Treasure. Gilgamesh's grand treasury. It is a storehouse that contains the countless treasures of the world collected by Gilgamesh. Using the Key of the King's Law, Bab-ilu, he can open an invisible door to its contents to summon them whenever he pleases. It contains the prototypes of all Noble Phantasms,

Noble Phantasms are Treasured Tools. powerful armaments made using human imagination as their core, and are the weapons and/or abilities owned by Heroic Spirits. As humanity's illusions, they embody the ultimate mysteries of a hero as symbols of their existence through historical facts and anecdotes.

The Gate of Babylon contains all treasures in the world, including the "wisdom of humanity" or, in other words, the basis for all things constructed by humans throughout history, from the works of the Library of Alexandria to board games, to even airplanes and submarines. The only technology he lacks are things created by humans with entirely new concepts and the technology of extraterrestrial races. Along with "humanity's wisdom," he possesses the Prototypes of all Noble Phantasms, as all heroes' myths and legends are derived from his, owing to his status as the original hero. While he does not possess Noble Phantasms that were made before or after his time, such as some Divine Constructs, or Noble Phantasms that are formed from a Heroic Spirit's life and legend like God's Hand, he would possess something that could be considered their prototypes, even if it was a paradox.

Gilgamesh's body shook suddenly, and her Gate of Babylon: The King's Treasure began evolving. becoming the Gate Of Babylon: God's Treasure. from this moment on, all treasures within the system would originate from her, every treasure out there will simply be copied, fakes. meanwhile, she would always have a stronger version of said treasure.

her noble phantasm fused with her as she gained Sora's bloodline, and this noble phantasm become something like a soul sword. she was now a very meaning treasure, she became all-knowing making her headache before she fainted from the much information that overwhelmed her.

"Well, I guess I will make her my wife later," Sora said as he looked toward Shirou Emiya, she was a white shared woman wearing a red and black outfit. Sora smiled slightly while looking at her, most of the people of fate stay the night were females, why make than male when you can make them hot females?

Shirou Emiya had an ability called Unlimited Blade Works. Shirou's Reality Marble, the source of his incredible skill in analyzing items and reproducing them precisely, born from his Origin and Elemental Affinity of "Sword." Shirou subconsciously records every weapon he sees, analyzing its structure and storing it within his inner world. When he examines an armament, he keeps its 'blueprint' within his inner world, which allows him to bring it into reality using Projection with much greater efficiency. While he mainly produces weapons in this way, he can trace and project defensive equipment such as Rho Aias, though it takes more energy to do so.

While primarily used offensively, Unlimited Blade Works has passive defensive effects. It subconsciously manifests recorded weapons within Shirou's body to protect him in response to physical trauma. It also changes the nature of Avalon's regeneration to something that stitches together his wounds with swords.

"you shall become the God of blacksmith... Arceus you shall become the God Of Spirits.." Sora went on to give the other portions or titles, but not all of them became gods. many of them became wise men, a new title he came up with. these wise men would be the smartest people he could see, they would be his strategist, plan his next attack and help him manage his world

after all of this, Sora went on to give the others his bloodline and allowed them to go on with their day, those who were parallel versions of his wives had already fused with his wives. while those who were already married remained. but because of this, Nami, Robin, and Boa Hancock joined the harem.

Seeing them leave, Sora had Hope remain as he and him will be entering a High-grade world, he needed to absorb people to quickly recover.

meanwhile, back within the cultivation world, Yamamoto stood against Ling Han. Ling Han had a helpless look hearing what Yamamoto said. Ling Han could be said to be the only person who knew that Sora was still alive.

"Well, with his strength he would have no choice but to step up and do something. be careful of the sages, although they act like they don't care about this world, they care deeply about it because it holds Pangu inheritance." Ling Han said softly as he turned and walked away, Yamamoto watched Ling Han leave with a confused look. Ling Han had the strength to match a Sage, with his power he could have greatly hindered their conquest.

instead, he was calmly stepping aside, but the strange thing he felt about him was that Ling Han gave him a strange feeling. ever since he was taken in by DI Yalan, Yamamoto's firepower increased greatly, he could not be said to have unmatched talent within the path of fire. only 3rd to Di Yalan, but with these gains he could fight those at the immortal emperor with his current strength.

DI Yalan had created a unique form, Flames of Conquest mode, a mode which could allow him to reach the half-step sage realm as well. but he was much weaker than Ling Han,

"let's continue with the conquest," Yamamoto said calmly, and with that said the army fire-type soul reaper moved to conquer this world. Yamamoto closed his eyes, and he respected his hands on the staff in his hands.

in another region, Natsu stood on top of a huge fire dragon, he lead an army of fire-type dragons, moving to conquer this world. Natsu took a deep breath, breathing out huge flames which swallowed countless people, easily killing them.

the dragons all laughed in joy, happy at the fact they could spread their wings and enjoy a good meal. countless true gods were slaughtered, and those who submitted were dominated and sent into the system.

in another region of the first heave, Ace and Soba lead a group of pirates. with crossed arms, they looked at their little brother who had a huge smile, unable to wait to explore this new world.

"calm down Luffy..." Before Sobacould continue, he found that Luffy had disappeared, looking up, he saw Luffy was already on the enemy ground and was already fighting. speechless, they quickly rushed out to help in the battle.

countless avatars moved to stop them, but Ace punched forward, and a huge flaming fist swallowed his enemies. a slaughter quickly carried out, and to say the least, this was easy work.

all over the first heaven, Sora forced destroyed many powers, dominating or killing many. in just a few hours, the vast and endless first heaven was conquered, but they didn't stop there and moved on to the second heaven, then the third, and so on.

"Demon Ancestor even those Sora is dead, he shockingly had a huge amount of hidden monsters. only sages could stop them." The Dao ancestor said calling out for the demon ancestor to come help.

"... the sages would not allow the Pangu world to be conquered. just remain within hiding." a calm voice sounded, making the demon emperor sigh in sigh relief...

within hell, the deepest layer of hell, a demonic phoenix slowly opened its eyes. it was sealed away within this level of hell. it had fallen into a deep slumber, and only awakened when Sora fought the sage, and now with the huge changes, not just it, but many sealed-away beings were watching on with heated looks.

the seal which sealed them away slowly began to weaken, and the sages which had acted many years ago to seal them away were allowing them to act. the sages simply wanted to use these half-step Sages to defeat Sora's forces, but not all of them were freed.

"Haha, this emperor is finally free." the Phoenix laughed as its power shook hell, with a flap it ignored everyone and shot up, aiming to swallow Di Yalan who was currently sitting within a camp, overlooking the progress of conquest.

"What a powerful immortal flame," Di Yalan said softly as she sensed the phoenix which had locked onto her, a huge phoenix suddenly appeared in the sky above her. she stepped out of the camp and calmly looked at this phoenix. she felt something trying to take hold of her, but she easily broke free.

"you want to face this goddess?" Di Yalan asked with a cold and disdainful smile, although just an avatar she was not weak. this phoenix could barely match those weaker sages, meanwhile, she took could match those weaker sages

the flames sneered, not wanting her to enter that space, it burned away space-time making it so that Di Yalan could no longer enter that space. the phoenix created a huge firearm which reached out to grab Di Yalan.

Di Yalan crossed her hands, ignoring the flaming arm. the firearm suddenly turned around, leaving control of the phoenix, and transformed into a huge phoenix that attacked the phoenix. the phoenix was sent slightly backward, stunning and confusing the phoenix at what just happened

"This goddess is the goddess of fire. all fire shall submit before this goddess, although not like my husband who has all submitted. an ant like you dare come before this goddess?" Di Yalan asked as she pulled out the Fire Goddess of conquest spear.

"under heaven and earth... no, even above the heavens, this goddess shall rule supreme over all flames." Di Yalan said as she entered Flames of Conquest mode, and with the many power-ups, she stepped forward to fight the phoenix,

the phoenix and Di Yalan fought, but to the phoenix's horror, all of its technique and abilities before Di Yalan submitted to her and began helping her. Di Yalan could also create all types of flames, ones that perfectly went against his flame.

the demonic phoenix wanted to eat Di Yalan, it sensed how unique her body was. if it could eat her, it could break through and become a sage. but it found it was a snake trying to swallow an elephant, it turned and tried to run away.

"do you believe this goddess shall allow you to run? where can you run?" Di Yalan asked with a mocking smile. she stood on top of a huge fire dragon she created, and countless clones appeared within the sky, all being perfect Fire Clones. the phoenix also tried to make clones to draw her attention so it could run, but Di Yalan could find the real body each time.

"How can a mountain and river tier cultivator have such power?" the demonic phoenix said in shock and, Di Yalan laughed as she launched to attack none stop as if she had endless energy. something which horrified the phoenix even more

but at this time, a huge beam shot from hell, aimed towards Di Yalan. Di Yalan was caught off guard, seemly about to be hit. the phoenix's eyes brightened in joy seeing this, but it was horrified once more as Di Yalan held her hand out, absorbing the beam without even looking at it.

"... a Fire sovergin?" Di Yalan said with a frown, she had read into the powers of this world and had found out those beings who were sealed. the fire sovereign was one such being. for some reason, all sage realm experts who try to become sages are sealed way within hell by the sages. it's like the sages don't want new sages to be born.

"Allow me to handle him." a soft voice sounded, and suddenly an old man appeared next to Di Yalan, Di Yalan was shocked and confused seeing him appear. this was none other than august, one of the 12 archangels, the thing about August was that he was strong enough to rival the 7 deadly sins. but he chose to become one of the 12 archangels.

August didn't explain why he appeared, he simply shot down appearing within hell, countless abilities shot towards him. many half-step sages were watching on from the shadows in hell, many knew that the sages were scheming against them. the phoenix was the first one unable to hold itself back.

many others didn't leave their seal but hid in hell watching the battle. the sages had only let those half-step sages who walked the path of fire go. and to say the least, they were all moved and wanted to capture Di Yalan.

attacks shot towards August, but they were nullified as August copied them all, slowly looking around, August created countless limbo clones which shot out, landing heavy damage to all of the half-step sages who were in hiding.

With a step, August stole all of their powers using Snath and used Dividing to lower their power was also steal taking it. the many sages all looked on in horror, not believing how easily they were taken down by mountain and river-tier experts. most of them didn't even notice how they were hit, those who know found that they couldn't block the attacks.

August didn't say anything and simply created a portal, throwing the half-step sages in. with that, August went on to free more Sages ignoring their pled for mercy, they were all brought into the system, where were forced to wait for Sora's arrival.

within the world of, an Idle System within the Cultivation world, Sora watched Hope fighting the MC of this world, before looking at the MC's wife who held two swords in her hands, ready to fight him. she was a beautiful dark skin elf who had silver armor on, to say the least, she was just one of the many members of the MC harem. but she was the strongest.

"... tell him to back down or else." She said coldly, Sora calmly looked at her before looking at the sky, this woman man was slowly losing, he would soon die as he didn't want to submit. Sora slowly lowered his head to look at her before sighing,

"if you want to live, shouldn't you convince him to submit? he went against all the odds in this world, luck anyways plays in. you understand that it's hopeless, yet you want to fight? foolish, if you truly love him, you should fly up there and stop and convince him to submit." Sora said as he ignored her, she bit her lips at Sora's words, everything Sora said was true.

The MC had gone against the odds many times, he turned the impossible into possible. he defeated the one who gave him the system and even went on to create a system that made him the strongest being in this world. but this was just their story, finding out how vast and little their world and Sora's goal, the MC didn't submit and instead aimed to turn the impossible into possible, and win.

"... you want to capture me because your trust in him is that low, why love a person you don't trust? go on, explain to me your thinking?" Sora said calmly, the elf bit her lips not knowing what to do, looking up at her lover who was being beaten and suffering countless injuries which couldn't be recovered from, she shook all the wild thoughts out.

"no matter what, I will stand by his side and choices. even if it means death because I love him." She said as she stepped forward to capture Sora. Sora nodded slightly at her words, she reached to grab him but her hands phased through him. she tried to grab Sora many times, but each time she couldn't grab Sora.

"I'm not here to fight, depending on the out some of this battle, it shall depend on your fate. you might one, become my wife, to die alongside this world or two join my world along with your husband." Sora said calmly, he was no match for her at th moment and was too weak. but he could still defeat her if he wishes to, as the strongest woman within a Hyperverse.

Sora opened many portals until he found this world, and to say the least, this world peak was the same as a Sage realm expert, so Sora had nothing much to worry about.

"go to hell." the elf was enraged by Sora's world, and she attacked Sora none stop, but each time her attack hit nothing. Sora sighed in annoyance before he reached out to tap her forehead. the movement was too clear, not quick yet it moved at such perfect timing that she didn't have time to react.

her eyes instantly went blank as he fell into an illusion, her mind was shot off, and she fell to the ground, out cold. the MC who saw things exploded in rage, this seem to have increased his powerlevel which had already reached the peak of this world.

"intreast..." Hope said softly as he flew backward, dodging an attack. with a spin, demonic evil-like scales appeared on his body. he fused with the evil dragon, allowing his power to more than double. with a deep breath, the MC was slammed down, hitting the huge endless planet below.

"you had your chance," Sora said softly as he slowly walked over, the MC angrily looked at Sora, wanting to say something, but that blow he just suffered almost killed him.

"Speak, I will allow you to speak before your death," Sora said calmly, the MC found that he regained the ability to speak, and slowly spoke

"We are all the same, w-why? why are you messing with my story?" He said in a soft voice, all he wanted was to live happily with those around him. even if this was a story or something, it was the only peace he had since entering this world.

"well? why do killings go to war? what dumb ass just sitting without getting stronger? do you expect everyone out there would care about your pass? if you want to live a good life, make sure you have the power to live that life. something you forgot." Sora said calmly as his spear flashed, stabbing through him and absorbing hm

Sora felt his body recovering to a great degree, after all this MC was near his strength, and absorbing him allowed Sora's condition to greatly improve. now, with his powerlevel back at 60%, he was among the strongest within the system once more.
