[New Fanfic is Up!!]
[Naruto: The Strongest Ninja System]
The golden core-jewel shone with eternal brilliance, quietly radiating an ultimate, sacred pulse.
Before this extremity of holiness, even a Maou-class devil would be erased within minutes—
and that was when the jewel wasn't even fully unleashed.
Seeing Akuto stand unaffected before the golden jewel, Michael nodded in satisfaction.
"Lord Akuto, this jewel is called the Sacrosanct Gem—a crystallized remnant of power from the Sanctum of the Celestials."
"So long as you gain the Gem's recognition, you can inherit the Lord's legacy and become, in effect, Master of Heaven."
"…"
Akuto shot Michael a speechless look.
Master of Heaven? Hardly worth getting excited about.
Just from this, Akuto could tell that the painting Chen Mo saw and the Sanctum he had visited were two stages apart. From the system's description, the Bible God had planned at the scale of worlds—miles beyond Michael's "Master of Heaven."
"What do I do?" Akuto asked.
"You need only place your hand upon this console."
Michael adjusted a control dais. A small golden sphere—an exact miniature of the great orb circling within the rings—faded into view from translucence.
"How convenient," Akuto mused.
He felt like a cultivator about to test his spiritual roots.
In the next second, with a single step he crossed the meters of space, appearing before the dais and reaching toward the small golden sphere.
Woom—
At his touch, the sphere burst with unprecedented holy radiance.
At the same time, a gentle, heaven-pure female voice sounded in Akuto's mind.
[Found you.]
[At last.]
[Time is short… I must entrust this to you.]
"Woom—"
The voice reverberated like a choir, and Akuto—together with the Four Seraphs beside him—found themselves immersed in an ocean of sacred power.
"The Sacrosanct Gem has responded! The Lord has made a choice!"
Feeling the Bible God's power—remembering He was gone—the Seraphs wept, tears of grief and gratitude mixed.
On Akuto's side, the system chimed the moment the voice fell.
Ding—
Detected: Host is absorbing holy bloodline. Absorb?
"So it's true—gain the Bible God's recognition, and you inherit His power."
"System, how will the Stone of the Circle react? Will it revoke the contract of the Bible God's recognition-stone?"
Even if he believed the Bible God had been benevolent, basic caution was still required.
Ding—
Any power absorbed by Host is processed by the System.
Processed holy and devil bloodlines will not conflict, nor remain bound to the Bible God. Host may freely wield both.
If Host attempts to fuse 'holy' and 'devil' forces, the Stone of the Circle will temporarily permit it.
"In that case—go ahead and absorb."
Ding! Absorption complete.
Congratulations: Acquired — Bible God Bloodline (Gold).
Bible God Bloodline: a refined essence formed from the Bible God's power at the moment of death, producible only through His holy light.
Even a sliver of this bloodline grants a physique capable of matching Main God-class foes.
Note: Angels are, in a sense, a degenerate branch of the Bible God. This bloodline is an evolution of angelic lineage.
Ding!
Base essence increased. Host's realm has risen to: Mid-Tier Maou.
"Only Gold-tier bloodline? The Bible God's a bit… broke, huh."
Since it wasn't a System reward, Akuto had already expected limited reserves. If the Lord had been able to leave much more, He likely wouldn't have fallen.
"A small bump in power is still value."
"As for fusing holy and devil forces… until I hit a bottleneck, better to bank the perfect fusion for later."
Rather than squeezing more output at the same realm, Akuto preferred to push realms quickly. "Unbeaten at tier" could wait for when progression hit its wall.
Before everyone's eyes, the small golden orb lifted from the console, turned to light, and sank into Akuto's body.
The Four Seraphs: ?!?!
They were still reeling when another voice shocked Akuto into opening his eyes.
[Boy… astounding. You've perfectly assimilated the transformation power.]
[In any case, you are the sole viable choice for this vessel. Even with minor errors, the trial must proceed…]
Akuto's expression grew subtle. "You are… the Bible God?"
[No. I am merely the Trial System She left behind. The true Her has long since passed.]
[Honored Savior-Candidate, congratulations on passing the first of the Sevenfold Trials.]
"The Sevenfold Trials—so that's what She prepared for Her successor."
Akuto ignored the 'Savior-Candidate' soft-pressure. Save if I can; if I can't, I'm air-lifting myself out.
[Yes. Pass all seven, and you inherit all Her legacies.]
[You have cleared Trial One: possess a constitution unbound by the world and its rules.]
[That freedom from binding is the foundation of transcending worlds.]
[Upon each clearance, you receive a portion of Her power.]
[Next—Reconstructing the Holy Spear.]
Woom—
Within the core, the great golden orb outlined a spear-shaped phantom, which then descended toward Akuto.
[Trial Two: Wield the Holy Spear forged by Her. Travel to other worlds and capture a thread of salvation—their possibilities.]
"Forged by Her? The silhouette is a bit like the Holy Spear of Dusk, but clearly not the same thing."
"What interests me more is the other worlds part."
"The Bible God knew of other worlds?"
With the System guaranteeing safe assimilation, Akuto no longer hesitated. He reached out and grasped the golden spear as it solidified from phantasm to reality.
Ding!
Acquired — Spear that Pierces Worlds · Prototype (Gold).
Spear that Pierces Worlds · Unfinished: a holy spear devised by the Bible God to confront enemies who cross world-lines. Its base quality is currently limited; it must absorb the possibilities of other worlds to continue evolving.
"Other worlds' possibilities… so that's why Trial Two sends me out."
"But what exactly is a world's possibility?"
Ding—
Typically, a world's possibilities are finite. A 'world' isn't a single slab; its base world and its endless rerun lines differ in recurrence.
When that world's story-protagonist enters the plotline, the System and the Spear can auto-harvest that world's possibility.
Besides following the original protagonist once, Host may instead personally clear the narrative and fully conquer that world.
Worlds Host has already conquered will have their possibilities fixed and collapsed; Host may freely wield their observed possibility and world-force.
"Mm… So either follow the main story once, or fully clear the world."
Ding—
Correct.
"In other words, I just do what I always do—raid instance worlds."
Ding—
Merge-eligible rewards detected.
Mergeable items: Explosion Magic (World-Scale Variant), Spear that Pierces Worlds · Unfinished, possibilities from Apocalypse World and Prayer-Slay Radiance World, partial possibilities from DxD World.
Proceed with fusion?
"Huh? I get merging the possibilities—but merging Explosion Magic?"
Ding—
Because Explosion Magic (World-Scale) synergizes with the Spear, fusion is recommended.
After fusion, Host may cast Explosion Magic by the original method or the new method.
"In that case—merge."
Ding— Fusion initializing…
Fusion Core: Spear that Pierces Worlds · Unfinished.
Materials: Explosion Magic (World-Scale), possibility-force of Apocalypse World & Prayer-Slay Radiance, partial possibility-force of DxD World.
Ding— Fusion complete!
Reward: Spear that Pierces Worlds · Prototype (Red).
Spear that Pierces Worlds · Prototype (Red): an initial concept-spear fused with possibilities from other worlds. Highly effective against foes with world-line control or anti-heterodoxy abilities. Even as a plain weapon, it wields tremendous destructive power.
Note: Fuse more—and higher-tier—world possibilities to further evolve the Spear.
BOOM—
Upon fusion, unprecedented ripples of space-time surged from the spear in Akuto's hand.
Look closely, and each beam of radiance seemed to hold a little world.
A flower, a pure land; a grain of sand, a world entire.
"Hm? Already gathered?"
Even the residual program the Bible God left fell silent for a long moment—surprised Akuto had cleared this trial so swiftly.
