Chapter 183 - Truth 3

Since Ianara left Viliana, Vili was now traveling on her own across realities and I kept a close eye on her.

After her journey of alcohol and drugs in Disenchantment, she traveled to the next fantasy world. I wasn't too concerned about her choice of Arifureta since it was rather weak and the only thing special about it was its Ancient Magic.

While most of them were useless to me, Evolution and Spatial Magic did indeed interest me greatly. Evolution Magic could view and interfere with the information of beings, making it a good perfect for Manas: Librarian and Spatial Magic could tough the concept of boundaries.

Controlling Boundaries was one of the few things I still had trouble with and even though this magic only reached its surface, it was still very useful and might even accelerate Nidhogg's recovery.

Of course, going down there and playing these dungeon games the creators had prepared for challengers was beneath me, so I will just send down the Witherstorm. It definitely had nothing to do with that annoying wannabe god and the harem protagonist.

And just like that the Witherstorm, now more powerful and terrifying than ever due to an upgrade I had given all my servants, descended to the mortal world to destroy everything until it collected all the Ancient Magics for its master.

Amongst the many things I had created during my recent experiments, I created a light blue sludge that was inspired by the Trogg's Sacred Goo. It would change anyone who drank it into an official member of my House.

My servants and even family members came in all shapes, forms, and races, so I made sure that the sludge didn't change their race or their appearance, at least not in ways that didn't befit their race. It enhanced already existing powers and granted new ones, like an Immortal Body, an Evolved Mind, and an Eldritch Soul.

I created a whole room full of this sludge and after all my servants drank from it, the collective power of my House took another leap.

Enough about that, after just four months, Witherstorm destroyed all of Tortus and brought me all the Ancient Magics. Maybe I should have waited till after Vili left because she came storming back home to confront me about intervening in her life. After screaming and throwing tantrums for a few days, she left again for a new world but not before giving me a last few warnings.

Was I going to listen to her? Absolutely not but I would at least make it less noticeable.

While Leo and Freyna were still lingering in Earth Land thousands of years before Natsu or anyone of relevance would be born, Viliana jumped from one fantasy world to another.

She clearly had a favorite.

Some of the worlds she visited were unknown to me while others not so much but the only times I intervened in her life was in "Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka?" where I beat the shit out of D, the strongest God of this reality and seized control over her system and added countless new skills, titles, and most importantly, new evolution paths.

Since I expanded the Planetary scale magic called System to Universal, I caused a lot of panic and chaos across the universe. Viliana further evolved from her Rainbow Dragonewt-like race to a full-fledged dragon. The Evolution Magic I recently obtained was of great use here.

Although D was a god, she was still a far cry from what I needed a god to be to qualify for my purposes and Viliana just so happened to travel to a reality where the gods had what I wanted when she decided to travel to Danmachi, which brings me to the second time I intervened.

Although the gods from Danmachi were weak compared to others, they had something that was different from others. Other gods had power over one or more concepts, which was essentially all their divinity did, the gods of Danmachi were their very concept.

The closest thing to this was in GoW where each time a god died, their concept would be damaged, for example, kill Poseidon and the water rises, kill Helios and the Sun gets covered, you get what I mean.

If a Danmachi god were to die, their entire concept would disappear with them. People could stop dying, the sun could disappear, and the earth could stop spinning. So, even if a god was the worst bastard ever, you were never allowed to truly kill him because he was a pillar of the entire reality.

This is what I wanted, I didn't just want to be the god of something, I wanted to be the very concept.

I was 100% sure I already knew my concept, if you could even call it that, now I just needed to hide Vili from these nosy gods and test my theory by kidnapping one or more gods, depending on how many it would take to awaken my divinity.

I couldn't do this while Viliana was there as it would cause the entire universe, if not reality, to collapse and I didn't want her to throw another tantrum and accuse me of intervening in her life. For once, I couldn't wait for her to leave.

*****

A/N- No idea if this is true but I once read a ff where that was the case and since there was very little known about the gods of Danmachi in the first place, I decided to just go with it.
