Rebirth: Traversing The Myriad Planes - Chapter 319

Year 2134. Four years until Yggdrasil shuts down.

Nao’s image was eventually lost in the sands of time, and he hadn’t made any public appearances since taking on Hela’s Castle and capturing it along with its boss. He wasn’t sure if he would spend time capturing more bosses.

Well, despite that, he could create more npcs than just the dragon girl if he really wanted to. He had a Lv2000 Guild Base on top of the Asgardian Palace, which was Hela’s Castle, under his wing now. If Nao used all 3000 levels for the dragon girl npc in the Asgardian Palace through Ouroboros, what could he use his 2000 levels for in Hela’s Castle?

Ainz Oowl Gown only used one Guild Base to manage their operations during their time in Yggdrasil, and the Supreme Beings created many NPCs, far above 30. They weren’t all set to Lv100. The Floor Guardians, The Pleiades Maids, and other npcs that were shown in the daily life of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, like the man eating c.o.c.kroach and the penguin butler.

If Momonga and his Guild could do all of that with just a Lv3000 Guild Base, why couldn’t Nao do the same? The idea came to him ever since he decided to capture Hela’s base. He could attach it to the White Palace in its own dimension too once the transfer to the New World happened. As for what would happen to the Asgardian Palace, that was part of Miya’s work of what Nao wanted her to do. The White Palace would literally translocate into the Asgardian Palace, effectively becoming a Lv3000 Guild Base.

However, this wouldn’t occur until a couple more years at the earliest, when Yggdrasil would start losing its hype and lose its player base, mostly to avoid suspicion. Miya would work with Eve, Yggdrasil’s AI, to not raise any suspicions with the developers either.

But that isn’t preventing from using his Lv2000 Guild Base. Once Nao uses its data crystal, he could get working on his NPC creation. Sure he had the World Champion on the horizon since it was now the beginning of Year 2134, but it was set to happen at the end of January. It was the middle of January now, so Nao had two weeks of free time to use. So he started to formulate his Lv2000 guild base NPC creation.

He wouldn’t go Momonga’s route though. His npcs would be similar to the Floor Guardians but he wanted each one to be a linked set of eyes watching over the White Palace as a surveillance system, mostly to keep eyes out for intruders. The girls could protect themselves sure but if they were out and about, no one would be left to watch the White Palace. It did have its own defensive barrier, but it never hurts to be extra cautious, right? Especially since they will be going to the New World soon to where even its residents could mind control one of Ainz’s lv100 npcs.

Their ability would be similar to how Pain works in Naruto too. But Nao wanted to stick to the theme of Norse myths and the Asgardian Palace. So what can that mean? The Valkyries!

Nao is currently planning to create 20 Lv100 Valkyries to act as guardians and eyes of the White Palace! They wouldn’t join his harem though, perhaps the leader of the Valkyries at most after he designates the leader.

But with that in mind, Nao proceeded to inform his npc creation plan to the girls. They knew the dragon girl would join as a new sister sure enough but after hearing the Valkyrie plan, Elsa couldn’t help but sigh. But they did agree that the New World could possess dangers that could break their current peace, and the Valkyries would definitely be a good solution to that. The girls agreed to Nao.

On top of that, Tabula and Bukubukuchagama also stated they wanted to use 500 of the 2000 levels to create their own npcs to Nao. Three from Tabula and Two from Bukubukuchagama. Nao didn’t hesitate to agree, so Nao wouldn’t create 20 Valkyries, but 15 instead. Actually, that would turn out to be 14 Valkyries, as he must save 100 levels to re-create Hela too. Thankfully this number is adjustable in case Nao captures any other bosses he finds interesting.

The reason he didn’t hesitate to agree to the two was that Nao knew well what Tabula and Bukubukuchagama would end up creating. The Albedo Sisters and the Dark Elf Twins!

However at this time, what Nao didn’t know was that Bukubukuchagama was brewing up a little surprise for him when he meets Bukubukuchagama’s Dark Elf Twins for the first time… (A/N This will be determined by the active poll currently ongoing)

Moving along to present time, Nao could actually be seen offline in the White Palace. Most of the other consoles could currently be seen used in use by the girls. There was an addition of two console chairs too. Suzaku and Iris finally moved in their stuff before this last year of time spent in Yggdrasil began.

Of course Suzaku had it easier, it didn’t take long to move his stuff in. All he needs to do is check in on his company, and can be out of office during the rest of the time.

As for Iris, she told Perorocino and dropped a bomb on him. Of course she didn’t reveal Nao’s origins to him. All she told Perorocino was that she got a boyfriend and was going to move in with him. This surprised Perorocino a lot, only to cause Bukubukuchagama to become more angry at him because he thought his sister would never get a single boyfriend with how she acted with him all the time.

It wasn’t like it was year 2126 anymore, it was year 2134 and Perorocino grew up to be a fine a.d.u.l.t. He was now in college as well, capable of living his own life without his sister hounding over him.

And on top of that she told him Nao also played Yggdrasil, so it was possible Perorocino would come across Nao in the near future. Iris didn’t have to worry about introducing Nao to him then, since it was in game. But she told Perorocino that she would bring him to meet Nao within next two to three years before Yggdrasil shuts down. That’s when he would be taken by force into the White Palace by Iris’s wishes if necessary to stay with her.

Otherwise, Perorocino, along with everyone else that don’t stay inside Yggdrasil when the transfer happens will meet an unfortunate end. Nao is no savior either. Unless its an action to protect his family and loved ones or friends, he won’t be a messiah to save all those people, including the other Supreme Beings. The only one who expressed becoming friends with Nao was Momonga, none of the Supreme Beings bothered much with Nao. Even Touch Me shrugged him off after having their first encounter despite adding Nao to his friends’ list.

And since Momonga was the one who transfers over, why bother saving any of the others? That’s why Nao was waiting toward the end to bring Perorocino in. The less they know the better until it happens.

But regardless of that, Nao didn’t want to brood over it too much. Also, he just wants to spend these two weeks until the World Champion Tournament happens in relaxation.

After thinking all of this over, Nao got up from his console chair, unhooking the cable from his neck and took off his gaming helmet. He still saw the other chairs in use, all but one. Curious to see who, he wandered into the other dark room, only to see Vados’s chair not being used.

Ever since the Library was built in the White Palace, Nao found out it often being used by Vados. Turns out she was quite the reader. Seeing her chair empty, he left the dark room and started to wander around the Palace.

Passing by several rooms until the first floor, he eventually found the Library. Its bookshelves extended onward and upward really high. At the moment the Library was split into different sections separated the Planes Nao created, surrounded by one giant bookcase pillar in the center that focused more on general knowledge. The other bookcases stretched in a curved manner before each end met each other all way in back. Several slick wooden tables could be seen on each end, which allowed one to sit and read at their leisure. There was currently no check out system implemented for the books either, and likely won’t have one for the near future until Nao ever welcomes guests again into the White Palace.

So far the only filled sections in the Library besides the center pillar were DBZ and Overlord, which was off to the left side. Pokémon and Trails section could be seen with some books in them but its shelves were more bare compared to DBZ and Overlord.

In the back and off to the right, books were scarce or non-existent, mostly reserved for the Planes Nao has yet to create. The sane could be said for the shelves on the rights reserved for future Planes. Sure Nao may have a near-photographic memory by now but inscribing his memories into books will help remember things in the long run. Plus it will allow his family to be caught up to his memories too. Past, present, or future, you name it. Any events will be stored away here.

In short, the Library was similar to that of Library of Heaven’s Path, but in physical form and didn’t have the ability to auto correct information to be the best it can be. But it was definitely becoming one of the more sensitive rooms in their home. It would definitely be good to have some of the Valkyries Nao is planning to create to safeguard it..

But with that said, Nao found his way toward the left side after smelling a calming aroma waft through the Library. He found Vados sitting in the Overlord section, with several leather books neatly snacked together next to her with a white tea cup next to it placed on a holder beneath it. Green liquid could be seen inside the cup.

Vados currently had a smile on her face as she sensed Nao approach. She closed the book she was reading and greeted him.

“Welcome, Nao. I take it you are done for the day?”

“Yeah. I’m trying not to spend too much time in Yggdrasil for these next couple of weeks, mostly to relax my mind for the upcoming event. Can’t believe a year went by just like that either.”

“Hohoho, must have been time well spent. I must say though this “Plane” we’re currently in is quite intriguing. It has so many races bundled together in one giant continent. Typically one race would house a planet from where we came. Yet I suppose that logic doesn’t apply here.”

“So you’re catching up with the New World huh? It may be like that, and because it’s like that it is wrought with many dangers. We must be prepared this time for when we transfer.”

“Indeed. We’re doing all we can, our Guild stockpiles keep growing. If an intruder ever stumbles across our treasury, I wonder what their expression would be.”, Vados replied to Nao with a another light chuckle.

“Don’t joke like that, Vados.”

“Fufu, my apologies. I take it you aren’t here with no reason. These books come from you but it doesn’t look like you’ve come to add more to these shelves.”

“That I’m not here for. I’m mostly here to talk about what’s going to happen after the World Champion Tournament ends. After we go silent for the last three to four years, there’s something I want to do after.”

“Is that so? Let me pour you some tea then we can talk.”

“Thank you.”

After Vados said that, she withdrew a teapot from her own pocket dimension, letting her arm vanish into a black hole. A moment passed in silence before a calming aroma wafted once again in the Library. Nao’s eyes lit up the moment he took a sip.

“You really do make the best tea Vados. Tights is reaching there, but she’s not perfect.”

“Ohoho, Sister Tights is still learning from the best. I’ve been in the art of tea making for eons. So, what are you planning after we go into hiding?”

“Haha, that is true. Then I’ll be blunt with what I say. Before we transfer, I’m planning a small trip back to the DBZ Plane, to catch up with Goku and the others.”

“I see. I was wondering if you had plans to do this eventually. I’m glad you’re wanting to go back to our previous home. You still have your promise to uphold with Lord Zeno too.”

“Yup. I wasn’t planning to bring Lord Zeno over until we are in the New World. I don’t want to make that an empty promise.”

“Good. You don’t want to get on his bad side. It’s not we up and vanish when we start our next adventure. The Planes you create don’t vanish, so revisiting them during a lull or a before we move onto something else I see is a good idea. Did you have a specific date in mind?”

“No exact date yet, perhaps in the last month or two when Yggdrasil shuts down in 2138. And I agree, these return trips can be treated as mini vacations. But this one may play out differently, you know how Goku can be, especially if he hasn’t seen a friend of his for a while. I just know he’ll get an itch to fight, haha!”

“Hoho, indeed, that is really like that Goku fellow. I’m not sure how much time has passed there, since its time flow might be different from our current position. Did you want me to go in advance to let them know?”

“Nah, we’re going to surprise them. I’m planning to take you, Tights, Caulifla and Kale so the latter two can get some more experience.”

“Understood. But if you go as is, you’ll be a human. You know that, yes?”

“Of course! This was going to be the important point I was going to bring up. I’m going to start practicing my Soul Transfer between my two avatars in these 3-4 years and de-rust my Saiyan Avatar.”

“Didn’t it take a lot out of you the first time?”

“It did. That’s why if I start doing it more frequently, it may empower my soul to be more resistant to the side effects. And actually…this is where I want a favor from you, Vados. Well, it might be more of a request…”, Nao said as eyes turned serious.

“Hmm? What would that be?”, Vados replied, raising her eyebrows with a curious look in her eyes.

“I won’t beat around the bush. Vados, can you teach me Ultra Instinct?”, Nao asked, dropping a bomb on her.

Yet Vados didn’t say anything and proceeded to take a sip of her tea in silence. A smile crept on her face after.

“I thought you didn’t want to touch that realm? Don’t you fight more like that Vegeta fellow?”

“I did back then, but I want to surprise the two to see if I can learn Ultra Instinct or not. And you’re right, the Planes I create don’t go away after we leave them for another, so it always gives us a chance to go back to a previous one. I know Goku and Vegeta don’t slack off even if we aren’t there right now, so I want to make it appear I’m not slacking off either. Besides, this will be done in my Saiyan avatar as I practice my Soul Transfer.”

“Very well. But I will warn you now that Goku’s method to achieve Ultra Instinct was akin to suicide. You know that right?”

“Yes. While I personally can use the spirit bomb in my Saiyan avatar, I don’t want to follow in his footsteps like that, haha!”, Nao responded to her with a laugh.

“Correct. He took in an immense amount of energy to break out of that shell of his, and achieved Ultra Instinct in the process. However, that method poses a great risk to anyone’s life that does it. I will not teach you that way. We will start from the bottom and work our way up. I will train your physical body first.”

“Got it. I really do thank you for doing this, Vados. I want to start as soon as the tournament is over.”

“Understood. However, I won’t do this for free.”

“Hmm?”, Nao replied, intrigued by her statement.

Yet he only saw Vados get up from her chair, and wandered over to his side. After arriving in front of him, Vados gently reached out her left hand, and placed it around his chin. She moved his head to match hers. He could see Vados’s pale purple eyes.

Vados then leaned in, planting her lips against his. This surprised Nao a bit but he went with it, and closed his eyes, enjoying the sensation. He soon felt her tongue invade his, letting them dance for a bit.

Vados also grabbed onto Nao’s right hand, and drew it toward her robe. She gently placed his hand over her left b.r.e.a.s.t. Even though her robe was on, Nao could feel a soft and tender mound, larger than anticipated. He hadn’t actually touched her chest yet till now, so it was a discovery for him. More importantly, he could feel her heart thump.

She then parted her lips from his, letting a string of drool stretch out. She then licked her lips before speaking out to him.

“You can feel my heart beat, yes?”

“I can. It feels very warm too…”

“Right? Unlike the gods of destructions I’ve served in the past, I never knew this feeling of warmth until I met you and your family. Those guys didn’t care about romance at all. And as a result, my body is still pure.”

“You did mention this in the past. Piggybacking off your words, I guess you could say the realm of romance is new to you, heh.”, Nao replied with a chuckle. He then opened his eyes and saw Vados, who chuckled back at him.

“Hohoho, that is true. I’ve been enjoying exploring these new sensations since I’ve joined your family. As for what I did just now, consider it an advance payment. And if you can achieve Ultra Instinct in these next three to four years, I might even give you my all.”, Vados answered as a grin formed on her face.

“So you’re playing it like that, huh?”

“There’s nothing wrong with that, is there? It feels nice to tease someone, especially since my other Sisters like to tease you a lot.”

“Haha, that is true! Then we can proceed like this. These next two weeks will go by quickly. Though I’m not sure how long the tournament will be…But regardless, I’m planning to go all the way to its top.”

Hearing Nao say that with a resolute look in his eyes, Vados nodded. She then retracted his hand from her chest and spoke out to him.

“That’s how it should be. Yggdrasil has been quite enjoyable so far. I was prepared to drill the theory behind Ultra Instinct into your head during these next two weeks, though I’m not sure if that’s a good idea during this time, it will be a distraction.”

“I mostly want to relax and ready my mind for it, so we’ll see how these two weeks play out. If I have down time I wouldn’t mind learning that.”

“Understood. Here’s to good luck in the upcoming World Champion Tournament.”

“Mmm.”, Nao agreed with a nod.

The two then stayed in the Library, chatting away as the rest of his family spent their time in Yggdrasil. As time passed, Iris and a few others eventually found their way to Nao, and spent the day together.

Before everyone realized it, two weeks passed by as Nao enjoyed his relaxation. During his down time, he learned the concept of Ultra Instinct from Vados.

It soon became the day of the World Champion Tournament. It was time to log into Yggdrasil once again, and fight against other players! The bountiful rewards, the World Champion job class, and the unique skills tied to that job class are waiting for Nao to claim!

*

A/N : Aht here. Note down here!

The tournament will start next chapter! Look forward to it!

Surprised to see Nao wanting to learn Ultra Instinct and wanting to revisit the DBZ Plane? This is one of the interim chapters after Arc ends. I’m planning a Nao vs Goku & Vegeta fight, look forward to it!

Don’t forget to keep dropping those power stones! Can we reach 300 this week?
