Chapter 492: The Hundred-Year War

—

Although the Primordial God managed to find the Dreamweaver's Fortress in no time, in the future timeline, it was not the case now. Time passed fast, and Neji and friends operated from the fortress for years to come, while shaping the Omniverse to their will.

In the swirling chaos that was the War of Omniverses, between this reality woven with threads of destinies both Primordial and Divine, Neji found himself at the heart of this tumultuous change. The years following the victory over Lord Oblivion were a blur of many things.

Just Leveling up by killing wasn't cutting it, so Neji began to train as well. But training for an entity of his caliber was not easy. Each session took years, which thankfully could be managed due to Kimi's Hyperbolic Time Chambers. He would delve into the depths of the Void, sharpening his control over nonexistence, and then another time he'd wield the power of omniversal quasars like a holy sword.

With Kimi's guidance, he earned mastery over the concept of Time too, allowing him to manipulate temporal streams with unprecedented precision. Unlike her, he could pull off huge feats without any need for spells.

The power of omnipotent willpower was incredible like that.

The cosmos served as his sparring partner, allowing him to test out his abilities, and challenging him to push beyond the limits of what was thought possible.

'Each moment of struggle,' Neji would often muse while clashing with entities who can devour hyperverses, 'brings me closer to the Final Boss.'

He'd often not win, but it was easier for him to flee a scene than anyone else. So while he failed to defeat his enemies a few times, he never faced defeat.

The Omniverse War, on the other hand, was constant and never-ending. An ever-present specter that loomed over Neji's desire to keep this possibility of timeline aligned with the other one. He was unsure if anything was aligned at all at this point, even discarding the death of Maestro Myth. He had no framework to follow, so it was all up to luck... Luck that he still had plenty.

Still, as much as training alone and finding enemies remotely helped, war times provided an unending supply of strong enemies. So following the plan provided by Contessa Fate, Neji, alongside Kimi and their other allies, became a harbinger of change on the battlefield.

He swept in, he killed opponents, and he left.

Sometimes he'd capture certain enemies if they were compatible with his allies' powers.

They partook in conflicts that shaped the destiny of both realms, their presence tipping the scales in favor of those who were lucky—because Neji didn't discriminate Prime from Cube. If their death would help them, they had no choice but to die.

The Omniversal political landscape trembled at the mention of their names, frontlines crumbled, and adversaries fell before their might. Godmother, Kimi, and Anodi's prowess in combat was unmatched, Fate's strategies and his powers scorched ruins in their wake.

"To forge a path to my peace, I have no choice but to weave through the storm of war," that was his resolution, his resolve unwavering amidst the carnage.

.....

Nine months after their heartfelt decision, Neji and Lady Life welcomed their son into the Omniverse.

They named him Ra, not only as an homage to the Egyptian deity of the sun, symbolizing the light he brought into their lives but also because Neji remembered Life saying how Ra received his name from the Beings Beyond Omnipotence.
