"Why go around pushing yourself to your limit and harming yourself like this?" Seth asked, his voice carrying a mix of concern and frustration. Chu Yin crossed her arms defensively while turning her body away from him, refusing to meet his gaze.
"He disrespected what's mine, fuck logic and reason. I would not stand for it," she said with a huff, her voice firm despite her injuries. Seth rolled his eyes at her stubbornness, though there was no real anger behind the gesture.
"Go to sleep and rest. You're not allowed to do anything until you rest up and recover," Seth said firmly, pulling her toward the bed with gentle insistence. He sighed deeply, seeing how she was half skeleton now, her body pushed far beyond its limits. He carefully pulled her into his arms so she could sleep comfortably and heal.
Chu Yin smiled sweetly as she settled into a comfortable position, resting her head on his stomach. But then something felt different—his stomach no longer had the hard muscle definition it normally did. It confused her for a second, making her pause as she processed the change.
Then she realized Seth had put on some fat just for her comfort. Her smile grew so wide and genuine that it hurt thanks to her injuries, but she couldn't help it and didn't care about the pain.
Wasn't a male's whole dream supposed to be having rock-hard abs that showed off their strength? Yet her man didn't think twice about throwing that away just so she could be more comfortable in his arms when she needed rest. The thought almost made her want to jump around like a little girl experiencing her first crush, but she held herself together with effort and let herself fall asleep peacefully.
'Absolute powers? I wonder if there is an absolute dodge ability like from that one novel I read… how about absolute drop rates? Or maybe absolute luck?' Seth thought to himself, flipping through the pages of his book with a thoughtful expression on his face. After a moment, he summoned his overlord map, which displayed his territory and land clearly. The map showed his empire spreading at a rapid speed that surprised even him.
With Evelin's abilities working alongside the other SSS tiers, no one on earth could realistically hope to stop the spread of their overlord Empire. It was honestly going incredibly fast, faster than he had initially anticipated. The only problem standing in their way was dealing with the other SSS tier talents, who were unwilling to submit to his rule. But he would deal with them tomorrow when he had time.

How does one go about getting an SSS tier talent while wishing for an already existing power from fiction? The answer wasn't simple. While Levi was an SSS-tier talent holder with the talent called The Anime Template, other people had wished for similar powers and abilities from anime. But he had made the best and most detailed wish that was worthy of being granted the SSS tier ranking above all others who had similar ideas.
Currently, in Japan, Levi could be seen sitting comfortably amongst the harem he had built for himself over time. He was looking at his overlord map, which showed the Nexus Empire's unstoppable growth spreading across the world. His face couldn't help but twist with frustration and growing anxiety, since this was all the proof he needed that he was going to be forced to submit to Seth's rule eventually.
His attention suddenly shifted when a red dot appeared on his map within his territory, indicating an intruder. He looked closer and saw a white-haired man who walked casually through the streets of Japan with his hands in his pockets, showing no concern or fear. Levi thought for a second about what to do before ordering someone from his forces to go handle the man while he watched the situation from afar to see what would happen.
But Seth suddenly disappeared from the streets and appeared directly within Levi's room, where Levi was currently naked with his harem after a night of fun and pleasure.
"Who are you?" Levi asked cautiously, quickly getting out of bed while scanning Seth up and down with his Rinnegan eyes, trying to assess the threat level standing before him.
"I'm Seth. I came by to unite this empire with mine," Seth said with a confident smirk on his face. The casual declaration stunned Levi by Seth's sheer arrogance and boldness. No one with common sense gave out their real name so carelessly to a potential enemy, which meant Seth was either incredibly foolish or incredibly strong. Given his confidence, Levi suspected it was the latter.

[Random Template] This ability allows the user to gain one anime template per use. The user would gain all of the skills and abilities of that template, including techniques, knowledge, bloodline, and supernatural powers—all but the physical strength and raw stats. Only one template can be gained per day at the skill's current level of mastery.
[Temporary Template] This ability allows the user to pick any template they desire and temporarily gain all of the template's strengths and abilities in full, be it physical power or otherwise. For a limited amount of time, the user can use said template at its absolute full power before the template is destroyed forever and can never be used again.
Note that the body would face serious side effects if the template is too overwhelming for the user's current physical condition, and in extreme cases, could even kill the user outright.
The list of templates Levi had collected over time was vast and extensive, and Seth honestly didn't care to see all of it or waste time going through each one. But what he did care about was getting Levi to become loyal to him and join his empire. Why did he care so much? Because this guy could in theory have access to any anime abilities that existed, which made him incredibly valuable.
"How about you become my right-hand man?" Seth asked with a confident smirk, already picturing in his mind the overpowered clan this guy could build and lead under his command. Even he might have to be careful around such a powerful clan in the future... of course, that was a joke meant only for himself. He didn't need to be careful around anyone, not ever.
"You got jokes..." Levi said with a sneer of contempt, and as he spoke his fists were suddenly covered in armament Haki, the black energy coating his hands. Seth just waved casually at him to come at him, showing no concern whatsoever.
Levi wasted no time at all, shooting forward with explosive speed while punching towards Seth. He launched his Haki forward in a projected blast before he even got close to his target. His Haki shot towards Seth at tremendous speed, nullifying Infinity automatically, and bypassing Vector Control completely since... well, Haki had the natural property of nullifying abilities, and Haki was a completely new power to Seth that he hadn't encountered before. Of course, if his blindfold was off and his eyes were active, he would have instantly scanned it and understood its nature.
"Nice," Seth said simply, catching the Haki blast in his open palm with ease, much to Levi's complete shock and disbelief. Levi's shock only grew exponentially when he suddenly felt like reality itself froze around them. It was as if all of existence took a moment to freeze in place, seemingly hesitating to show what was about to happen next, as if the world itself was holding its breath.
The next instant, an extremely overwhelming and suffocating amount of Conqueror Haki exploded outward from Seth's body in all directions. The Haki was so overwhelming and powerful that across the entire planet, anyone who was actively using their abilities found their powers nullified instantly and completely.
Many people fainted on the spot from the pressure, while many others who were in battle tried desperately to use their abilities nonstop, only to find that, be it magic, unique talent abilities, bloodline powers, and so on... well, it was all nullified without exception, with only SSS being not affected
But the effect wasn't limited to Earth alone, as eventhe outer space surrounding the planet was affected by the overwhelming display. Black Lightning seemed to spill from the earth in massive waves that radiated outward, crackling with raw power. But luckily for all living beings in range, this terrifying display only lasted 5 seconds before the sheer overwhelming amount of Haki faded away and disappeared as quickly as it had come.
[A/N: Haki is SS tier, but under the right hands, it could rival SSS tier or be less than an A tier. In Seth's hands, it SSS tier...]
