Chapter 186: Victory? (2)
—
Sighing, Neji went down to sit on top of a hundred story skyscraper, and sorted out all the messages.
[Due to the special state "Fusion", both the Gamer- `Neji` and his Familiar- `Kurai` will gain the same amount of levels.]
[You have killed a Tier-10 being!]
[You have gained 216,000 exp!]
[You have levelled up!]
[You have levelled up!]
[You have levelled…!]
[You have…!]
[You…!]
[…!]
[…!]
[…!]
[You have gained 60 levels!]
[You have reached level 262!]
[Kurai has reached level 191!]
He didn't cancel the fusion just yet, and waited for the Quest window to pop up.
[You have completed the quest, "Absolute Conquest"!]
===
Quest Details: You are facing the absolute strongest of this world, a person whose powers aren't shackled by the WoW. Defeating her would officially make you the World's Peak.
Main Objective: Defeat "Nawab", the Nameless One.
Bonus Objective 1: Kill "Nawab", the Nameless One.
Bonus Objective 2: Obtain the Quirk, [Regression], before Nawab's death.
Main Reward: [60-levels worth of Exp], Perk- [World's Peak], HP Potion 10x, SP Potion 20x.
Bonus Reward 1: Passive Skill- [Armour of Singularity], Perk- [Seduction? Cute try], HP Potion 10x, SP Potion 20x.
Bonus Reward 2: [???], Perk- [Child of Time], HP Potion 10x, SP Potion 20x.
===
Bonus Reward-2 only made Neji more bitter over this development.
If he managed to steal the quirk, Regression, Nawab wouldn't be able to escape this timeline, and thus the deviation wouldn't be noticed by Gods, and he would also gain the [Child of Time] perk and that suspicious [???], which might have been something bigger than the former.
Regardless, he let the messages flow again.
[Main Objective of the Quest has been met.]
[Distributing Reward!]
[You have gained 60-levels worth of experience points!]
[You have levelled up 60 times!]
[You have reached level 322!]
[Kurai has reached level 252!]
[You have passed level 300s!]
[The levels of all the Boss Monsters in the "Tower Dungeon" have been adjusted accordingly!]
[Your existence becomes more refined!]
[The 8th Restriction has been released!]
[All exp gained will be doubled!]
That's when he cancelled the Fusion immediately. According to the System, if he were to receive the Perks and Titles in Fused form, he would only be able to access those perks and titles in Fused form too.
"Meow…"
Kurai also didn't seem to be in a good mood, even though she clearly didn't know about who the Gods were and what their notice meant to Neji. She could feel his current emotions so she nudged onto his shoulder and rubbed her cheek with his own.
She seemed to be slightly confused herself, most likely because she saw nothing like a "Quest" before, and nor did she receive those messages that talked about Gods and Deviations.
"Don't worry Kurai, it's fine." Neji patted her head and watched the other rewards come to him.
Bonus Reward 1: Passive Skill- [Armour of Singularity], Perk- [Seduction? That doesn't work on me], HP Potion 10x, SP Potion 20x.
[You have gained the Perk- "World's Peak"!]
[You have obtained HP Potion 10x!]
[You have obtained SP Potion 20x!]
[Bonus Reward 1 has met!]
[Distributing Reward!]
[You have gained the skill- "Armour of Singularity"]
[You have gained the Perk- "Seduction? Cute try"!]
[You have obtained HP Potion 10x!]
[You have obtained SP Potion 20x!]
[Bonus Reward 2 hasn't met!]
[No rewards will be distributed!]
That was it. The rewards. Neji kept patting Kurai as he checked the details.
[Perk- World's Peak
Details: You are [Earth of MHA] planet's strongest, the peak of the world. No other person is as strong as you, making it impossible for them to defeat you.
-Within the boundaries of this planet, [Earth of MHA], you are undefeatable. -You'd win against anyone, as long as your opponent(s) aren't from outside this planet.
-Against opponents from this planet, [Earth of MHA], you'd win in some way, any way, even if they're impossibly stronger than you.]
That was a weird Perk. The first effect was quite obvious. Of course, it would be impossible for people to defeat him since he's the strongest. But the second one, it was… interesting.
What were the limits when it said [Earth of MHA]? What if he were to meet someone from another MHA timeline after leaving this world, as he planned to do? Would he be able to defeat them, even if they were stronger than him?
He wanted to test it out someday.
Moving on,
[Passive Skill- "Armour of Singularity" - Max Level.
Details: You're a Singular being, you exist only on a single timeline, making it easy to kill you for any [Time Traveller]. You need an armour, the armour that every Singularity possesses.
-Prevents any time traveller to enter your timeline, and any time traveller that pre-exists in this timeline to use their time travel powers.
-If a being whose time travel is very powerful tries to time travel back or forth in your timeline, they'd be thrown into another timeline instead.
-If somehow, a time traveller who is strong enough to meddle with your timeline decides to meddle, they'd have to come face to face with the "One Beyond Omnipotence".]
This–
"Whoa."
–Was an absolute skill.
It wouldn't just prevent small-time travellers, but the big shots that roam around the omniverses would also be stopped one way or another because of OBOP.
This was a problem he didn't even think of, yet it was solved already.
At last,
[Perk- Seduction? Cute try
Details: Gamer's Mind stops any magical or supernatural seduction on your mind, but what about the traditional way? Lo and Behold, you're immune to that too now! Maybe calling it immune wouldn't be right, because sometimes a person just wants to be seduced~ Hmm? That's why, the Gamer System will judge if the seduction is harmful to you, your pride, or your mind in any way- before making this Perk take effect.]
"No, I don't want this."
[...]
"I don't like the part where it says- ``That's why, the Gamer System will judge-``. Bro, have you ever fallen in love before? You're a virgin artificial intelligence."
[...]
"Exactly. You are immature in this regard. I don't know if you can turn perks off, but since this Perk specifies the ability to turn on and off at will, I would rather keep it turned off. I can tell if someone is trying to seduce me, and if I don't like to be seduced by that person, I will ask you to activate it. Good?"
[...Alright, if you say so, Master Manwhore.]
"..."
So it was true. The System seemed to become more 'humane' every time his "existence became more refined".
Neji shrugged his shoulders. Her wordings just meant who admitted his claims.
Next, Neji looked down on Nawab's dead body which was squished like a paper ball, with her head missing. Beside the body, a golden potion had manifested.
The Special Tier potion.
He put it in his inventory.
"I will probably give it to Ryukyu… or maybe Rumi, since Ryukyu can get the Dragon Evolution stone from Dungeon but Rumi doesn't have that luxury."
That was true, he reckoned. He currently has 3 normal tier potions (1 from Mirio quest and 2 from Hisahi's) and 1 special Tier potion. Special Tier potions seemed to be a good idea to use when the Quirk was already awakened because they could make the quirk evolve to something else. So it should go to Rumi, who only recently awakened. And the other three… he will give them to Nejire, she's the only one who's kind of in a "negligence" because of her lack of animalistic characteristics.
More so… today's incident…
Neji sighed, shaking his head.
He wasn't expecting this.
He was expecting none of this.
This all feels… so sudden… so quick.
So unbelievable.
Now that the battle had ended, he could feel his emotions return, the emotions he should be feeling at this moment.
That's for later. He can let the emotions out when he's with Nejire. He needed to sort everything out before getting relaxed.
The Gods knew about him.
They detected the deviation that happened in this world line.
They might come to his doorsteps right this second. Or tomorrow. Or next month. He can't be sure anymore. He needed to grow stronger, immediately. His initial goal was to reach Level-1000 before Gods could invade, and he still wanted for that to happen.
[Lady Luck chimes in, saying your suspicions are correct and it is recommended for you to fight and defeat the "Divine Being" inside the Tower Dungeon as soon as possible. Defeating someone of that level would at least give you a rough idea of what power levels your enemies would be at.]
"I see. Thank you." Neji nodded in the air. "I will be sure to repay you for this help, Lady. And I am not joking."
He had to specify he wasn't joking because how could he, an existence so weak, repay the personification of a Concept?
Either way,
[Lady Luck waves her hand, saying she just wishes for you to survive, that's all. She also wants to not expect her direct help, as that's hard to do even for her.]
He wasn't going to expect anything from her, regardless. She was most certainly ageing a trillion years, she had no reason to care for a little mortal. He was just a source of entertainment for her, something she used to pass her time with.
Most likely.
If Lady Luck had heard his thoughts, she didn't let him know. Neji moved on too, knowing there was no time to waste.
Taking a deep breath, he took out a Health Potion and dribbled it through Nawab's windpipe, since her mouth was missing. Watching, as the gory scene slowly changed, her head regenerated slowly but surely before her beautiful elegant face returned.
She truly was beautiful. But she was a crazy bitch. Neji wishes to forget about her asap.
Wishing to make it quick, he put a hand on her head and channelled «Mine», watching as the red energy invaded her system and mined out her quirks from within.
A minute passed, as Neji kept mining, and a notification popped up in front of him.
[The Quirk «MINE» has levelled up!]
[Mine has reached level 4!]
[You can now store 640 quirks within Mine!]
Mine had the perk where the stock limit became double every time it levelled up.
It could hold 80-quirks at first, but it levelled up twice within One-for-All a while ago, so it could hold 320, now it could hold 640.
Neji kept mining Nawab's quirks for 5 minutes before his stock got filled, forcing him to stop for a moment.
Looking at the quirks he got…
"There are dozens of similar Quirks in her arsenal… wow."
He couldn't help but be impressed.
He almost felt grateful to Nawab for delivering all this to him.
Almost.
A lot of similar quirks were within her. None were on par with her Thunder God quirk, that's why she didn't use them, but they were still enough to match Top-10 heroes of any country.
So, Neji sat down and started combining them.
—
–
-
Hours passed like that, and Neji had finally mined all the quirks, combining to free some stock and filling it up again.
Previously, he had 32 Quirks, now he has 115 Quirks after mixing Nawab's 3,241 quirks all together.
Now, with just these 115 quirks, not even counting his Stats and previous quirks, he would confidently say he could take on a few dozen Nawabs if things were to come down on that. Even without Fusion.
In short, his quirks now gave him the Four main elemental powers, along with Electricity and Ice. It also gave him many defensive powers, similar to Kirishima and Gigantomachia.
At last, he put all the Quirks under One-for-All one last time before mixing OFA with one of Nawab's quirks, «Quirk Transferrer», which levelled up OFA by one level, therefore levelling up some other ones too.
Now, the new OFA was level-2, and so it could boost his powers by 350% along with the other stat-boost it had from previously.
He needed a new name for this Quirk. Calling it one One-for-All was a mouthful.
"Hmm, how about «Upgrade»?"
[Excellent choice, Master. The quirk One-for-All has been renamed to Upgrade. Would you like to choose a new name for Surge, as well?]
He shook his head, rejecting the offer. He named this quirk after Nejire's, and since she hadn't changed her own quirk, he didn't want to either.
Either way, he glanced at his current main Quirks, the ones with the highest levels and the ones that have evolved already.
[Thunder God - Level 14 ] (levelled up from Level-13 after being mixed with Level-7 Weather Manipulation.)
[Queen Bee - Level 13]
[Hyper Regeneration - LVL 10]
[Fa Jin - Level 10]
[Blackwhip - Level 10]
[Float - Level 10]
[The Tamaranean - Level 10] (Ujir's Quirk)
[Eyes of the Lord - Level 9]
[(Evolved) Upgrade - Level 2]
[(Evolved) Surge - Level 1]
[(Evolved) Permeation - Level 1]
[(Evolved) Jump-Up - Level 1]
Amongst all these, Eyes of the Lord levelled up the most. Reaching Level-9 from Level-4. Mostly because of all the eye-related power it got mixed with just today. The most prominent one of them was «Sixth Sense» which allowed him a glimpse of the future, though it happened on its own, not something he could do willingly.
He needed the real deal, the actual «Future Sight».
This also meant that Nawab might have known about the invasion of Gods as well.
Either way, now Eyes of the Lord allowed him to copy movements and attacks, as long as his own powers allowed him. But since he had most types of powers in his hundred and 115 quirks anyway, he could do almost anything. Neji supposed at Level-10, it would allow him to do what Adam had done in the RoR Manga, maybe even more since Neji had mixed many quirks with EL at this point.
Neji was the strongest now, he could possibly destroy the planet if he wished. He wasn't going to try it yet, though.
He needed some powers.
Quirks such as: New Order, Rewind, Overhaul, and Overclock.
He was going to go find them soon.
But first…
Neji used his quirk, [Queen Bee] and said, "Kill yourself, and come back to me, my 'Bees'."
He felt he saw, he heard from all 'their' eyes and ears, as they killed themselves, committing mass suicide, and rushed at him like a wave of energy.
Except for one person.
That made him smile.
…
Around half an hour later, when all the red energy had settled within Neji, he had levelled up more than 50 times again, along with gaining some new quirks and a couple sets of movie-like memories.
[You have levelled up 53 times!]
[You have reached level 375!]
Neji swore that this recent growth speed was bullshit.
But this still wasn't enough.
He needed to hunt some more quirks.
But he also needed to stay by Nejire, Momo and Kimi's side.
Luckily, now, he could be at many places at once.
He activated his quirk, «Queen Bee», and watched as red energy left his body, taking the shape of 5 more Nejis, just as he felt his vision split into five more people, along with gaining control over 10 new sets of limbs.
He suddenly recalled a notification he received when he reached level-200s.
[Gamer's Body has regained its full potency!
–You're immune to cloning, and any clone you create (using any sort of ability) will be under your mind–as in–they won't have a brain, you'd be the single brain moving the other bodies like a puppet master.]
These weren't new bodies. These were his limbs, mindless puppets under his control.
Neji had an easier time controlling them because of «Multi Tasking», a quirk he got in his quirk hunt quest.
Scarily, Neji still had his exact Stats in these bodies. Except they didn't have any Quirks. Neji lent them some quirks using Mine.
Not his main quirks, but ones he just received from killing the Bees.
[The Tamaranean - Level 10]
[Sovereign of Ice - Level 9]
[Plasma Human - Level 9]
[Water Hazard - Level 9]
[Fire Demon - Level 10]
Along with this, they all received a Flight quirk as well. It seemed most of the Bees had flight quirks with them. After that, Neji controlled those other bodies with his mind to move and start roaming around Japan.
This way, he will keep getting exp while he's busy with other things. He didn't have time to waste, after all.
Sighing, he put Kurai on his shoulders and decided to go and finish those other things too.
"It's time to go back."
Neji «Teleported» from that spot.
