Chapter 124 - 115: Merciless (1/2)
'Where am I?” He asked himself as he floated in what seems to be the void. He saw nothing but darkness, but in that darkness millions, maybe even billions, of tiny shiny stars could be seen. It was bright, almost blinding, yet, at the same time, he saw darkness engulfing everything. It was as if two incompatible forces were trying to take over each other, they were trying to eat each other. But at the same time, he felt a strange sense of sereneness around him.
He felt something changing inside him, inside his soul. He can feel it, the power overflowing inside of him. While the power of those rings were nothing but temporary, this one is permanent, it will never leave him.
Divine power coursed through his body, strengthening it. He felt as if he could take on anything, but he knew that's not the truth at all. He kept a calm mind as he closed his eyes and tried to control his unstable power.
And then, he felt time pass. Seconds turned to minutes, minutes turned to hours, hours turned to days, days turned to weeks, weeks turned to months, and finally, months turned to years. Two decades had passed while he tried controlling the divinity inside of him, and finally, finally! He managed to control it, the unstable divinity.
Then, his body started changing into something, something divine. He felt himself become a deity, a divine being. His power became more and more controllable as he conquered his divinity.
Then, he woke up in a white room filled with fog. He heard a familiar voice, a voice he hadn't heard for years.
”So you've woken, I thought you would be sleeping a bit longer than 10 seconds.” Deus sounded impressed.
Hikaru couldn't help but tear up as he finally heard a voice after 20 years… wait… did he say 10 seconds? TEN SECONDS!?
”I assure you, it would've taken normal people more time than what you have experienced. They would've spent millions of years inside their mindscape, and thousands of years in reality to conquer their own divinity. You are an exception, for you are someone too talented. Your soul is extremely powerful, I might say. Your soul is as strong as mine, yet you haven't unlocked most of its abilities, how tragic.” Deus sounded amused as he said that.
Hikaru kept his calm as he assessed his body, and felt everything was fine. His mana reserves and physical strength has increased by 100 times, without the rings.
Speaking of the rings, he decided to keep them on. Right now, with his powers, he might even be able to obliterate an entire galaxy that is containing billions of planets, with the rings on of course. Without the rings, his power is just enough to destroy a hundred solar systems or so.
But there was still one thing bothering him; he ate Chaortos. He ate her, flesh and all. But he can feel shards of a divine soul inside his mindscape, as if it was all broken to pieces.
”Now,” His attention turned to Deus, ”You might be feeling shards of a soul inside your mindscape, but you don't have to worry about that, that is just Chaortos's soul. The moment you sunk your teeth into her flesh, you also broke her soul and absorbed it inside you. Right now, her soul is reforming inside your mindscape as we speak.” Deus explained.
Hikaru knew there was something more, ”But what about that hunger I felt when I saw her mana? Was it your doing? DId you modify my body to be this way?” He wasn't angry, he was just curious.
”Yes,” The disembodied voice said bluntly, ”I was the one who gave you that ability. It's an ability feared by all deities, even the olden gods. It is called [The Devourer Of Gods], and as the name implies, it can devour gods. But unless you're not as strong as the deity, you cannot devour them. You have to be stronger, stronger than that to devour them.”
Even though heard the explanation, Hikaru still had to voice one more concern, ”Will the previous thing happen again? Like when I saw her mana, I suddenly hungered for her, and my mind was taken over by this hunger.”
”Ah, I can understand your concerns, but you don't have to worry. That is just a one time thing, it will never happen again. It was because you just awakened it, thus it went on a rampage. But now, you can activate it at your will. Granted that your mind will be taken over again once you activate it, but only if there's a god in front of you.” Deus explained patiently, he's used to this kind of thing.
Hikaru nodded in understanding, and said, ”I understand. Now, I'm in quite a rush, so I would hope to go to the next world. Show me the list.”
A transparent screen appeared before him, and there, 7 worlds were presented in front of him. Though, the [Shinobi World] option was already darkened out.
Hikaru then asked out of concern, ”Can I still go back to previous worlds?”
”Yes,” Deus answered, ”But you will have to defeat another olden god for that. As I've said years ago, you cannot pick another world without sealing or defeating the olden god in the world you picked. I know your concerns, but you will not have to worry. As my gift to you, 1 year in another world from now on will just be 1 week in the Shinobi World, where your family lives. Is that all right for you?”
No, he was more than happy. He was overjoyed! That means he can go on an adventure for decades and only a few months would pass in the other world he is going! That would barely count any time for his family!
Hikaru smiled and said, ”Well, I am more than grateful for that. But, I might ask, what world do you reccomend for me to go to?”
This is his list of worlds.

Deus then replied, ”I would recommend the one that says [World Filled With Myths and Legends], but be careful in this world, there are beings there that are capable of destroying that dimension's universe. But with your abilities, you might be able minimize your deaths.”
