Chapter 359: The Grander Scheme (2)

—

Truthfully, neither she nor her husband knew how the Cube came to exist. It was just another normal day within the Prime Omniverse, and then abruptly, a black Cube appeared out of nowhere.

Being an artifact of unknown origin, it could be dangerous, so the Prime Gods tried destroying the black cube many times. But not once did they manage to scratch it. Even the Son of Void, the Primordial, could only do little damage before the cube would heal itself.

As they would come to learn, it was created by someone beyond their league, the two who called themselves the Beyond Omnis. Since then, the Cube acted as a dream catcher, feeding on the dreams, desires, and imagination of the zillion citizens of the Prime Omniverse. The Cube molded all that to create worlds, life, things, and so much more.

In essence, all that existed within the cube, and the cube existed within the Prime. So, some may think the Cube was weaker than the Prime, which should have been the case too. However, over time, the cube had gained so much power in itself that even if the Prime Omniverse was destroyed, it would still exist. It was a self-independent reality.

But for obvious reasons, the Gods from Prime didn't like the Cube. It was like a leech; it grew from them, and now the things inside it dared to lash at them. That wasn't a pleasant feeling, and so a lot of wars had been happening between them for a long time.

The wars only stopped after realizing the casualties in the most recent Great War that happened a few millennia ago. Both parties realized there was no point in war if all it achieved was mere destruction of both sides.

They were so willing to keep the peace that when the First Gamer appeared, the Cube didn't mind with the Prime Gods who came hunting to the Cube to hunt the Gamer down. Usually allowing so many Prime Gods was not it, they were not tolerated, but the Cube Abstract Entities made a decision to overlook it. It was also the reason why Contessa Fate was unable to help the Gamer in the end, since she was banned from helping him.

"Compared to that, this time is a little different."

Sitting on a black throne, floating in the endless reality of countless colors, the woman with pale white skin and red hair spoke to herself.

"...The Abstracts will not tolerate the Prime Gods coming again, even if it's for this new gamer who killed our daughter. Ultimately, it was our fault for sending Fotia to the Cube without warning the Abstracts, and we even hurt Lady Luck, so they are already compromising a lot for having not started a war."

So, it was problematic to move out in the open. Moreover, if the movement were done by the Primordial God or his army – as he wanted to do. Thankfully, she— the Goddess of Creation, who was the Primordial's wife —managed to convince him to let her handle this. If she could move alone and silently enough that nobody noticed her, and reach that boy like that, then the Abstracts may overlook it. In the end, the Abstracts too knew the dangers of the Gamer, and wouldn't complain if he was eliminated.

Eurynome Celestine, the name she was born with, was strong enough to resist the Omniverse's suppression. So there was no way she would be caught off guard like Fotia. In fact, she was the one who would catch the Gamer off guard.

"To think he is in Fate."

Eury had already figured out where the Gamer was. Neji Hado was unlucky this time since his sponsor, Lady Luck, was running out of power. While she had covered for his origin signature, it didn't stretch to Rumi Usagiyama. If that girl stayed in the Naruto world, as Kaguya, then finding her would be impossible – but now that she had teleported to a world she wasn't supposed to be in, she stood out on Eury's radar and was caught off guard.
