Soon, everyone left in the game began to turn into bright Golden Lights, and that included the ones on the brink of death from fighting monsters, and specifically those who were fighting the Boss Monster that Kayaba tasked the other Clearers with defeating.
[Kirito!... Stay with me!]: asuna
Kirito had been hit by the Boss, and his health was pushed into the extremely low Red area, and it wasn't just that, but he also had the bleed effect that was diminishing what little health he had left, and it was then that everyone finished off the Boss, and began to be shrouded in Golden Lights. Asuna then ran over to Kirito who was also being surrounded by Golden Light, and when she tried to heal him with a potion, the Game mechanics refused to take them due to Kirito being in the process of Logging Out just like everyone else.
[Asuna!... I will make it, and I will find you on the other side]: kirito
As soon as Kirito said that though, his Character exploded into particles, and finished logging out at the same time, and with that, Kirito should have had the Microwave in his helmet go off, but due to Soren's help, all the Microwave chips were deactivated through the Admin Panel, and it was also at that point that Soren thought that Kayaba was still alive since he could have disabled his chip, and faked his death to the real world, only to continue his research on an island like the Rath Company had done when making the Alicization game.
[Kayaba you sly bastard… You truly are the smartest man in the world next to me of course… May we meet in the future]: soren
Soren then hit the Log Out button in his status menu, and went through the Log Out process just like everyone else, and once he reappeared in the real world, he felt some stiffness in his bones, just like he would when Cultivating for hundreds of years at a time.
[Wow… That was an experience, and with my Cultivation Level I hadn't needed any kind of outside care, as my body went into a state of seclusion and absorbed any present Energy in the air, while most of the remaining Energy was absorbed from my Inner World]: soren
Soren was then met with Zeno, Serina, Shannon, Ariel, Simon, Seth, Alice, Layla, and Haku.
[Dad!... Soren!... Brother!]: soren's children, haku, and sister
[Hey!... How was everything out here? You guys enjoy exploring the cities?]: soren
Soren then began to talk about his adventures in the game, while also listening to his children, and their adventures. After a few minutes, of talking, Soren, and the others were joined by Misha, Hancock, Vados, Zenith, Killua, and Gon, everyone then sat down, and began to exchange stories, and experiences with each other, and after a few hours, Soren noticed that the News Channel started releasing the intel on the SMO incident, and how everyone was waking up now. Soren then saw a few familiar faces being interviewed, as well as some familiar faces that had yet to wake up.
[I knew I forgot about something!... Good thing I didn't need to destroy some companies from taking minds that don't belong to them]: soren
Soren started to remember about the company that took over the Systems to keep SMO online after Kyaba's companies went bankrupt due to the lawsuits as well as the disappearance of Kayaba himself.
[Well, since nobody from my group was taken, I won't make a move, and let Kirito, otherwise known as Kazuto handle it]: soren
Soren then began to travel the world while taking in the sights and wonders of a technically inclined world, and after a few months, Soren found out the news about how the company that took over SMO had went under due to the scandal involving the CEO trapping the well over 200 players inside the new ALO Game.
'What is with this world and trapping people's consciousness inside of a computer?... I guess if that's the only way to progress your story line, then it's needed, but 2 times in a row is a bit too much': soren
Soren then decided to start up his own company, and host the old SMO server while making changes to add a new system that was based on Lin Fan's Cultivation System.
[I'm going to change this world, and make it a whole new one, then add it to my collection before leaving]: soren
Soren then used his power to extract the World Seed, and use that as the base for the System Menu, and only people who get the chip implanted into their spinal cord will be able to play. Soren then began working on a special chip that is easy to attach, so the surgery will be quite cheap, and started programming Lin Fan's System into the chip, and though the power of Lin Fan's System was extremely watered down, if they level up properly, they will achieve the power of a Divine Celestial Eternal God state. Soren then made Billions of copies to cope with the Billions of people in the world, and after setting up the company, as well as the advertisement, skeptics began to rise, and Soren had to make it seem like it was just an Augmented Reality game by adding a special pair of Glasses that would help the player see others status.
[Fuckin idiots… Once they see that it's real, the market will belong to me]: soren
Soon, 18 Months passed, and Soren's company was hailed as Gods, and it was the correct term, as they were indeed Gods, but the problem was that after the Government saw the potential war weapon, they began to take measures to bring Soren into their interrogation room to give them the best equipment that the Game offers, but once they saw that Soren's level was labeled as (???) they felt it would be impossible to fight with him. Soren made it so killing other players would not give experience as to keep the murder rates down, and the only way to get EXP was from fighting the Monsters that would spawn in deseginated places, and the Monsters would only attack those with the chips implanted inside them, and if a player dies from a Monster, they will respawn with a lower Cultivation base that was made possible due to Soren's Law of Life and Death, but this wasn't a full proof plan, as if there was nothing to drop to the player will die for good.
[I wonder how many people have undergone the surgery and began Cultivating to Immortality?]: soren
Soren made it so that any Doctor that had a degree could be able to perform the surgery, and after some of the Doctors saw the abilities of the chip, they underwent the surgery themselves, and became better Doctors from it. The chip would be inserted at the base of the neck on one of the spinal vertebrae, and once the chip is implanted, it will attach itself, and pump the players with a constant flow of True Energy, and once enough EXP is earned, the True Energy will gather, and evolve the player to the next stage.
[In 18 Months, over 3.4 Billion people have undergone the surgery, only leaving a little over 4 Billion people unable to afford it, or not want a part in it fearing that something like the SMO or ALO incident will happen again since the owner of the SSO company it is I myself being the one who funded the SMO project]: soren (SSO = Strongest System Online)
Soren then began to control his power and drop Hidden Treasures all over the world, and place hints into the players' notification, and those who wish to upgrade their weapons will search for them. There were 3 ways to get better Equipment and Resources for SSO, the first is to buy them from the designated shops in the specified district that Monsters will spawn, as that was marked under Game Territory, the second way is to Fight Monsters, and once one is defeated, they will drop materials to sell, and if you are lucky, a piece of equipment or a heavenly EXP pill will drop, while the third and final way to get equipments and materials is from the Heavenly God's Graceful Loot Drop, a term dubbed by the Gamers who do nothing but grind the days away. Soren had also added a Ranking system that will show everyone the person with the highest Cultivation Level, and Soren's group was excluded from this list, as they didn't have, or need the chip implant, as well as the fact that they were all way above the Divine Celestial Eternal God state, while the lowest level among them was Haku who was at the True Immortal Realm.
[I guess I can set up an automatic system that takes my Omni Energy and forms weapons in different tiers, and dispenses them across the world every couple of weeks or months… I want to leave this world now, and head to the world that every perverted teen who watches Anime wants to go to]: soren
Soren then absorbed the entire world into his Inner World, and made sure to put it in its own universe that had a copy of every planet so the scientists didn't find out about the other worlds present, and Soren then opened the world portal, and entered it while setting his destination to the High School DxD world, and after planning out what he would do there, he changed his appearance to be that of a 17 year old boy, while he also altered his wives, and childrens appearance to be that of 17 year old, and his plan was to get them all a High School Education, while Soren and his group didn't particularly need an education as they were considered among the smartest people in the Universe due to the wisdom achieved through the enlightenment process when ascending to the True Immortal Realm. Soren just wanted to have a bit of childish fun with some of the sluteist characters in Anime, mainly being Rias, as Soren knew that her personality was that of a snob, and she only changed when she realised that she wasn't as powerful as she thought she was, and Soren wanted to tease her while making her want him in her peerage, while denying her saying she's weak.
[Here's the portal, I wonder where I'll appear… Maybe in Kuoh, or in a whole other country?]: soren
Soren chose to appear in the world a month before Issei was killed by Raynare and reincarnated as a Devil. Soren then entered the portal, and quickly noticed the lack of the ground, buildings, sky, or even clouds, and in their places was just a colorful void with space ripples everywhere, Soren then felt that the void was trying to suffocate his body, but with Soren's power, it was useless, and Soren felt that the pressure was just like the one from his Training room.
[So I got unlucky and appeared in the Dimensional Gap… Strange, it feels a little familiar somehow... How do I get out of here? I can only open a portal if I know the coordinates, and I can only find the coordinates if I can sense them, but I can spread my senses past this place]: soren
As Soren was trying to think of a way to get out of the Dimensional Gap, he heard a voice boom out behind him with a bit of anger, and when Soren turned around, he saw what appeared to be a big Red UFO heading towards him.
[Who dares to enter my domain!... Who dares to trespass on I, the Dragon God of Dreams territory! Step forward and die with utmost pain and suffering!]: great red
Soren heard the words of the Dragon God that the supernaturals of the DxD world called Great Red, and he felt that Great Red was an idiot just like those arrogant bastards from the Xuanhuang World.
[This is unpleasant… I better show him who he's trying to kill so he knows to respect my presence instead of try and trample me]: soren
Soren then raised his hand, and amplified his voice to a point that Great Red's ears began to bleed a little.
[You a little Dragon call yourself a God?... And you dare try and say you will kill me?... Let me show you a small fraction of my great power then]: soren
Soren then covered his hand in a mighty aura, and sent a small ball made of the Law of Chaos towards Great Red, and when Great Red felt the Chaos leaking out of this small ball, he quickly began to evade the ball, and got down on his face, and began to apologize while crying.
[Please oh mighty God! Forgive this ignorant one here! I haven't seen the Creator in so long, I thought you have ascended to the God Realm!]: GR
'God Realm?... Does that mean Great Red knows that this is just 1 of the many worlds in the Multiverse?': soren
{DING!... GREAT RED LIVES IN THE DIMENSIONAL GAP, THIS GAP IS A WEAKER VERSION OF HOST'S WORLD TRAVEL PORTAL AS IT CAN'T CHOOSE THE TIMELINE TO APPEAR IN}
'So I can go to worlds like Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, and all those other ones from this place too!?... I guess that's while I feel a bit of familiarity to this place… I better hurry up and get Great Red to show me how I can get out of here, the time difference is so huge in here': soren
[You are forgiven, but I need to get to the Mortal world from here, please show me how to get out]: Soren
[Y-Yes! Right away sir!]: GR
Great Red then opened a portal that led to the world of DxD, and thought back on how Great Red knew what Mortal world he wanted to go to, but like his thoughts were read, Sakura spoke up.
{DING!... GREAT RED CAN ONLY OPEN THE GAP TO THIS WORLD, SO EVEN IF HOST MEANT A DIFFERENT WORLD, GREAT RED WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO OPEN THEM AS HIS TALENT AND LEVEL IN SPACE LAWS ARE EXTREMELY LOW}
'So I got a useless Dragon God to guard this world… Not bad, but I better see how much time I have until Issei joins Rias' Peerage': soren
{DING!... ISSEI HAS ALREADY JOINED RIAS GREMORY'S PEERAGE}
'Fuck!... Guess I need to turn back the time here': soren
Soren then turned back the time to 1 month before Issei was killed and reincarnated into a Devil, and Soren felt himself enter the Dimensional Gap, and he cut that time line with his Law of Time, and continued to the Kuoh Academy in Kuoh Town. Soren then took his family out from his Inner World, and briefly explained the world to them, as well as how they would spend the next couple of years as students to a school so they could experience the School life of another world, and just like that, they were registered in the Kuoh Acadamy as Second years.
