World codenamed Akame ga Kill.
World codenamed Demon Slayer.
Alistair erased them one by one from the Dimensional Star Chart.
Now.
These two worlds no longer existed.
Their original names were irrelevant.
Henceforth.
They bore a single unified name: the Dark Multiverse, with potential to ascend to the Dark Omniverse.
They would be designated by numbers.
Dark Universe 001.
Dark Universe 002.
Beyond that!
Nothing remained.
With the integration of the second world into the Dark Multiverse.
A surge of world energy feedback followed.
And!
Persephone's divine power rose once again.
"…"
Alistair looked at Persephone, puzzled, falling silent.
"Dust?"
"What's wrong?"
Persephone tilted her head, noticing his thoughtful expression.
Alistair mused, "The feedback from Dark Universe 002 is massive. Your divine power—it's grown significantly."
"Indeed, it's substantial."
Persephone nodded. "World energy feedback depends on a world's completeness."
"Compared to Dark Universe 001, Dark Universe 002 birthed a complete Hell, yielding high feedback."
"I'm extracting Hell now."
"It'll take some time."
Alistair waved. "No rush. Anything else noticeable, Persephone?"
"There is."
Persephone smiled. "Hades, Underworld, and worlds are gradually merging into one. In other words…"
She opened her hand, and a slender longsword began to form.
But!
As the dark purple sword emerged.
Instantly.
Radiant world energy burst forth. On closer inspection, the sword was incomplete—a half-finished product.
"A world artifact."
Persephone explained softly. "Some records say sufficient world energy can birth a world artifact."
"But."
"It's just an ancient legend."
"I never imagined."
"I'd so easily possess a world artifact in the making."
Persephone gently traced the slender sword, smiling.
"Its effects?"
Alistair pressed.
He knew little of such esoteric knowledge.
Or rather.
Gods lived too long, amassing vast, chaotic knowledge. Though he was learning, the pace was slow.
"A world artifact's effects are simple."
"Overwhelm with a world's might."
"Suppress with a world's power."
"Isn't that just brute force?"
Alistair frowned, puzzled by Persephone's explanation.
She shook her head, elaborating, "Not quite. A world-born artifact theoretically embodies a world's infinite traits."
"And."
"As Hades, lord of the Underworld, our setup is unique."
"The Underworld and its two Dark Universes."
"Form a special trait."
"In the future."
"As more Dark Universes join the Dark Multiverse."
"Its traits will multiply."
"In truth."
"These can be called laws—countless laws integrated within."
"Dust."
"You understand, right…"
Persephone's voice carried awe.
This world artifact.
In the future, it might encompass infinite laws. What would that mean?
No one could say.
Alistair nodded. "I see. If so, a world artifact is truly remarkable."
After discussing the Dark Multiverse.
The topic shifted.
No more to say.
The Dark Multiverse was on track.
Faith was being established.
A Faith Nation was forming.
But!
This wasn't the end. Alistair wasn't just after faith energy—he craved world energy. Next, he'd stabilize worlds, boosting their growth for more world energy.
In essence, like vassal states.
He'd help them grow, and they'd pay tribute.
The difference?
Alistair never worried about rebellion, as vassal worlds were within his domain.
"Next."
"Conquer the remaining two worlds, and we can move to the next phase."
Alistair rubbed his chin, pondering what worlds the next phase might bring.
"But!"
He sighed helplessly. "Hell's separated, but though far weaker, its rank equals the Underworld. The problem? None of our dependents are suitable."
This was Alistair's biggest headache.
The Underworld.
Hell.
Both were vital to him.
Despite his carefree demeanor, Alistair's divine power grew at a terrifying rate.
But.
His rank was too high—666, supreme.
In other terms.
Persephone needed 100,000 experience to level up.
Alistair needed a million, even ten million.
Just thinking about it was daunting.
