Chapter 338: The Underworld (1)

—

There were three Nejis active at the moment. Omni-Neji-1 was in Uruk, while Omni-Neji-2 and Omni-Neji-3 were making their way to Underworld and Judah respectively.

Surprising as it may sound, the underworld was actually just an underground city. It could be accessed by anyone, with no need to travel dimensions. It was also within the 100 kilometers limit of Neji's Jōgan, so the Omnipresent Divinity was being sustained for Neji-2.

Neji-2 casually made his way to a nearby group, with Jaguarman and the Chaldean girls floating by his side. They didn't complain and were rather delighted by the prospect of a free flight.

The problem occurred with Neji-3, who was with two Goddesses of Venuses. One of them, Goddess Ishtar, could already fly so she was rather annoyed when he pulled her with his telekinesis.

"Ugh! Release me!"

"Okay, okay, let's not be so agitated. Geez."

Neji released his hold on her as Ishtar hmphed and sat down on her Boat of Heaven, Manna.

On the other hand, Quetzalcoatl shook her head in visible regret.

"The Avenger Class restricts me to battle mode. So not only can I not transform into my beast form, I can't even bring my wings out."

She sighed dramatically, as her body swam through the air, and her arms clung to his neck.

"If only we could mate~ The energy created should free me off this servant body, and allow my true Divine Body to descend."

Neji was surprised to hear that and wrapped his arms around her to keep her waist.

That was possible?

In general, there were three ranks of bodies. Mortal Bodies, Servant Bodies, and Divine Bodies. Naturally, a servant body was a downgrade to Gods, who are used to their divine bodies.

Artoria, or Ryuko in this case, in her Goddess Rhongomyniad form was an evolution to her servant form. She gained divinity thanks to her weapon, her spear named Rhongomyniad. Due to evolving into a God, in both body and soul, she was much stronger than her servant counterparts.

On the contrary, was this Quetzalcoatl who was clinging onto his arms, smiling lovingly. She had the spirit of a God but her body was that of a servant. So if she could regain her body of a God too, then she would be stronger than her current Tier 15 self.

Then, should he....

"Ah, it should take a while though. A few dozen nights? Only then should I be able to truly descend."

Quetzalcoatl said with a curious face, as Neji closed his mouth that he had just opened.

"By the way, didn't you have a flying dinosaur summon? What's its name... ah, quetzalcoatlus. Summon it. I don't want you to cling to me for hours."

"Ahhw, why? I like it here."

He did too but now wasn't the time.

"Summon it. Now."

With a dramatic sigh and a troubled blush, Quetzalcoatl did as per his order.

Later, this Neji-3 had to activate Jōgan and keep it like that, as he left the 100 kilometers distance to both of his other selves.

In his current state, he had entered a 3rd-person point of view of himself. It was like playing a video game, in more than one way too— due to the Map floating in the corner of his eye.
