Chapter 383: God's Not Dead, Because... (2)

-

Back when Neji was talking with the Goddess of Death, Jashin, Lady Luck had chimed in to let him know about something called [Tales].

["Basically, each of the "Tales" is the personification of the achievements of a divine being. A person can have multiple Tales if their achievement is great enough. Even Abstract Entities such as I have Tales. There are beings in this Omniverse whose tales surpass yours, given you are so young, however, those beings are few. After all, whom you killed were 300 Prime Gods, with one of them being the daughter of the Primordial. The fun part is,"] Lady Luck had trailed off. ["When I said "those beings are very few", I meant divine beings or abstract entities as strong as or stronger than myself. As a mortal, no other person but you have earned such an achievement. In fact, the only being who even comes close to your mortal achievement is the guy whom you may know as the Biblical God."]

It was clear that she meant the Biblical God's achievements were more than his, but he was close enough. He was confused about how that worked though - after all, how was the Biblical God once a "mortal" if he's a Class-0 "Abstract Entity"?

Whatever the case, Lady Luck was talking about the Omniversal Biblical God. If he were to compare him to the Biblical God of this world, who had "died", meaning he was in no way Omnipotent before, Neji should have a purer "Tale" than that being.

Neji wasn't a God specific to something, one might notice. Despite being so strong as a Dragon, he wasn't a God of Dragons. He wasn't a God of Darkness or Light either. It's not a bad thing, however, it just meant his domain wasn't limited to these things. He was an all-rounder, with the potential to match the Omniversal Biblical God - meaning he had the potential to be Omnipotence.

So when he released a wave of his Divinity, limited to this park only, the trees glowed, some leaves turned golden, fruits became those that grant immortality, and the atmosphere turned into one of pure peace and dominance.

As his hair elongated, his form gleamed like a divine pillar. From the burst of his divinity, his nerdy glasses vanished, and his stupid formal dress turned like that of royalty, Neji stared at the nun.

"A-ah..."

The priestess, the nun, Asia Argento stared at the spectacle in awe. She broke out of her daze half a minute later, still awed, and slipped to her knees. Her head touched the ground and she wept.

"M-my lord! My creator, my guardian, my lone master! This foolish child of yours begs forgiveness for not recognizing you at a glance!"

With tears flowering on the ground like a fountain, the girl bowed to the God she had believed in all her life, as her soul felt as if it was cleansed of all its impurity. Even if in reality, she had no impurity.

As Neji registered her faith that was directed at him, notifications filled his retina.

* * *

Sitting inside a café, with the little girl who was crying her eyes out earlier sitting ahead of him, Neji was checking his notifications.

[Ding! You are on your path to scavenge the legacy of a late God. It is not at all impossible, even if you're against billions of populations. In fact, this game is easier with the help of the System. Your progress on taking over a dead God's legacy is at its starting stage, but at least you have taken your first step.]
