My Adventures In The Multiverse - Chapter 64

At the snap to the finger, Ra exploded unevenly causing chunks of his giant body to fall onto the divine land of the Egyptian gods.

Ra’s head fell beside Shiki, and he went on to sit on it and stare into the horizon.

‘What should I do now?’ He wondered.

///// Amaterasu POV/////

“Well that was easy,” I said, sitting on a pile of corpses.

Anat, Bast, and Hathor’s dead bodies lay as my footstool, and the rest of the Egyptian gods foolish enough to challenge me served as my cushion.

“I think I expected too much from them. After all, with the strength, my husband granted me and the massive amounts of divine health potions he made to fill an infinite space. It’s not surprising that they died so quickly.”

“What should I do now?… I guess I should wait for him to kill ra~”

All of a sudden I could feel it, An instinctive feeling

A god has died.

Boom.

An explosion of heat flooded out of me, burning away the corpses beneath me in an instant.

“My divinity… It’s back.”

“Wait, what’s this… Ra’s hold… it’s gone.”

“…”

“As expected.”

I couldn’t help but smile as the feeling of victory enveloped me.

He appeared before me unscathed from the battle, he even seemed annoyed for some reason.

///// Shiki Pov /////

“I thought you wanted to toy with him,” My wife said.

“I did, however halfway through our battle the idiot did something that made him overwhelmingly weaker than I am. After that I lost interest.”, I couldn’t help but feel annoyed as I thought of it.

“Sigh forget about it, Now that Ra is dead what happens now?.” I asked

“Now… We take the spoils of our Victory.”

“Oh, and what is that?”

Amaterasu sauntered towards me seductively, “One of us becomes the new pantheon god over the Egyptian divines.”

“Really?, Well I’m not doing that.”

“I’m not lazy, that’s a false accusation”, I mumbled to the side.

She must have heard me because she gave me the ‘Are you serious?’ look.

“(Cough), Either way, how are you going to take over the pantheon?”

“Oh that, it’s simple. Right now within you, You should feel something.”

“Like some kind of authority and the hold of divinity Ra once possessed.”

‘Within me.’

‘System.’

[Yes sir, There’s now a master string in you that connects you to the Egyptian Pantheon.]

‘Please bring it out.’

I raised my palm and Ra’s magic signil appeared above it.

A sun embedded within the Ankh.

‘The sun that gives life, huh.’ I said, already understanding the essence of the crest.

“Is this what you’re talking about?” I asked her.

Amaterasu beamed as she said, ” Yes that’s it, The master crest.”

“I see… In that case, have it.”

I transferred the crest onto her, It detached from my essence and entered into her being latching onto her soul.

Amaterasu closed her eyes as she was enveloped in an orange glow, And I could sense her divinity with the sun rising by about 20 percent.

After a while, the light stopped and she opened her eyes, Her color shimmered in bright orange before it returned to its purple hue.

“With this, A portion of the faith the Egyptian Pantheon receives will be sent onto me forever.”

“I can lock any of them out of their respective divinities any time I want. I can also use any of their divine weapons anytime that I choose.”

“That’s great, My love. Now they cannot disobey you.” I said, bringing her into a hug.

“With you alive, they dare not.” She said, also hugging me back.

We stayed like that in the silent ambiance of the divine realm.

“You know I could always permanently kill all of them and connect the faiths of their believers directly to you.”

Amaterasu gazed at me, “I have no doubt that you could, But I do not want that. Having all the faith of their believers would also mean that I’ll have all of their prayers and wishes as well. I am already troubled with answering all of Japan’s prayers, adding the Egyptians would be even more of a stress.”

“Mmh ok,” I replied

“Since there’s nothing here for us anymore, Let’s go home.”

With that, I shifted space around us and teleported us back to our home.

///// With Yasaka./////

In her office, Yasaka focused on her paperwork. The devils have been becoming more persistent in their alliance and it was giving a bit of stress.

Matatabi was at her side, feeling a small pity for her master.

All of sudden, the door burst out of its hinges

“Eh!” They both shrieked.

Coming through the rumble was a familiar figure.

“My Lord.” They both said.

Shiki did not acknowledge their greeting but instead looked at certain corners In the room.

“Leave.” He ordered.

10 Shadows flashed past him and left.

Yasaka and Matatabi were both unnerved by what was happening, they wondered whether something was wrong.

Shikiw walked towards them in all seriousness.

Yasaka and Matatabi came before him.

Out of the blue, Shiki wrapped his arms around both their waists.

“Lord.”

“Be Mine.” He said.

Yasaka and Matatabi’s eyes widened at the sudden confusion, Their faces reddened into a blush.

“My Lord th~this is too sudden.” Yasaka stuttered.

“I know it’s sudden, However, I’ve been holding this on for too long.”

“I want both of you to be part of my harem.”

“…”

“…”

Yasaka and Matatabi did not reply possibly because they were shocked and maybe also of joining a Harem.

Either way, Shiki sensed their anxiety.

“Sigh”

He brought them before him and looked at them seriously.

“Yasaka.”

“Matatabi.”

“Truthfully I do not know how harem works, because I’ve never been in it.”

“I also don’t know how to love all three of you and possibly more to come equally.”

They both shifted at that statement

“But I can tell you this.”

Suddenly a wave of ether burst from Shiki, It latched onto the three of them and two others that were elsewhere.

‘This.’ They both realized what this happening was.

“Whatever decision you choose, I promise you, I will love you more than anyone else in existence ever will. I swear this on my very Origin, my very Being, my very existence, and all that I represent.”

“If I break this oath, Let my name Shiki Ethereal be consumed by nothing before creation and let it be lost forever.”

“So shall it be?”

With this an oath was made, One on a level deeper than the body, the mind, ego, personality, concept, aspects, and soul.

A dangerous oath

But one Shiki would take any day.

Yasaka and Matatabi felt something latching them and Shiki together.

“Shiki, why did you do that! Do you know how dangerous this is?” Yasaka and Matatabi approached him full of worry

Shiki smiled and turned away

“When you are sure of an answer, I’ll be waiting for you in my room.” He said and left the room, fixing the door behind him.

“….”

“….”

Yasaka and Matatabi stared at the door, still stunned by what happened.

“Matatabi, you are dismissed for the day,” Yasaka ordered.

Matatabi bowed, “Yes my lady.”

///// Elsewhere /////

Amaterasu felt something latching onto, disrupting her work process.

Soon she realized what it was.

” I promise you, I will love you more than anyone else in existence ever will.”

The image of him saying that appeared before her.

Amaterasu smiled warmly, “That idiot.”

“I already know.”

///// In Heaven /////

Gabriel laid in her room, wondering how vain this world was.

She wanted to leave the heavens and meet with her lover.

Yet she knew how important she was.

She was in a state where if the system of the heavens worked as normal, she would be flickering between fallen and being normal

All of a sudden she felt something latch onto her.

An Image of Shiki appeared before her.

“I promise you, I will love you more than anyone else in existence ever will.” It said then dissipated.

Gabriel was stunned at the sudden confession, unknowingly tears fell from her eyes.

“I love you too ”
