For half an hour, Indra Uchiha sat in a lotus position on the floor of his quarters, his entire being focused on the object cradled gently in his palms. The egg. It was a deceptively simple thing, no larger than what one might find in a chicken coop. Yet, its very existence defied the laws of his current reality.
His Six Eyes, capable of perceiving the fundamental layers of the universe, were working in overdrive. The shell was not a mere calcium carbonate structure; it was a lattice of solidified cosmic energy, woven with strands of magic and something else… something fiercely, primally combat-oriented. And the heat. By the Sage, the heat.
It wasn't a scorching, destructive inferno. It was a profound, life-giving warmth, the kind that existed at the heart of a star. The temperature in his room, despite the cool autumn air outside, had steadily climbed to a sweltering 100 degrees Celsius. It felt like three summers had been compressed into the four walls of his chamber. Sweat beaded on his brow and trickled down his temples, but he didn't dare move. This was no ordinary incubation; it was a celestial event happening in the palm of his hands.
What in the name of all that is holy are you? he thought, his mind a whirlwind of analytical hypotheses. A tailed beast in embryonic form? A creature from one of the Sage regions? A being from a dimension not yet charted?
The sheer, concentrated power within the egg was both mesmerizing and terrifying. It was a sun in a shell, a contained Big Bang waiting for a trigger.
Frustration mounting alongside his curiosity, he finally directed his thoughts inward, towards the silent, omnipresent interface in his mind.
System. Identify the origin and nature of this egg.
There was a brief, almost smug pause, as if the system was savoring his confusion.
DING.
<< APPRAISAL FUNCTION ACTIVATED. >>
<< TO APPRAISE AN ITEM OF TRANSCENDENT, CROSS-DIMENSIONAL ORIGIN REQUIRES SIGNIFICANT SYSTEM RESOURCES. >>
<< COST: 10 SIMULATION POINTS. >>
<< CONFIRM EXPENDITURE? [Y/N] >>
Indra's eye twitched. A vein, previously hidden, throbbed visibly on his forehead.
Ten points?! he mentally roared. TEN?! You avaricious, digital leech! Do you have any idea how hard it is to earn those?! fucking piece of trash.
His mind flashed back to the grueling simulations. The lifetime he spent in the world of Demon Slayers, fighting alongside Yoriichi, not just learning Sun Breathing but actively helping him devise strategies to systematically dismantle Muzan's network, a monumental shift in fate that had earned him a paltry 5 points. The simulation in a futuristic world where he had to broker peace between warring AI factions, a task that took decades of diplomatic maneuvering and barely netted him 3 points. He accumulated them with the patience of a glacier, hoarding them for critical junctures, for moments when he needed a specific skill or knowledge to avert a catastrophe.
And this… this glitched-out gift was demanding a king's ransom just to tell him what it was.
He grumbled, he cursed, he mentally composed a lengthy and profanity-laced treatise on the unethical nature of pay-to-win mechanics in cosmic power-ups. But the egg pulsed warmly in his hands, its silent mystery an unbearable itch.
Fine! he finally conceded, his mental voice a growl of pure exasperation. Just take the points, you extortionist! But this had better be worth it!
DING.
<< 10 SIMULATION POINTS DEDUCTED. >>
<< CURRENT BALANCE: 42 POINTS. >>
<< INITIATING CROSS-DIMENSIONAL APPRAISAL SCAN… >>
A wave of psychic information, vast and complex, flooded his mind. It was not just data; it was a story, a history of creation that spanned multiple realities.
<< APPRAISAL COMPLETE. >>
<< ITEM: 'OVUM OF THE CELESTIAL IGNIS-AVIAN' >>
<< ORIGIN: SYNTHESIZED CROSSOVER REALITY (HARRY POTTER UNIVERSE / POKÉMON UNIVERSE) >>
Indra's breath hitched. Crossover? The terms were alien, yet the system imparted their meaning directly into his consciousness. Two separate worlds, one of wizardry and magical beasts, another of elemental creatures and trainers.
<< CREATION METHODOLOGY: >>
<< 1. GENETIC FOUNDATION: DNA of Ho-Oh (Pokémon Universe – The Rainbow Pokémon, embodiment of life and resurrection) fused with DNA of a Phoenix (Harry Potter Universe – Beast of immense magical power, rebirth through fire). >>
<< RESULT: A pristine biological template for a supreme avian life-form, combining traits of resurrection, elemental mastery, and immense magical affinity. >>
A fusion of two legendary birds of fire and rebirth? The concept was staggering.
<< 2. COGNITIVE/SOUL IMPRINT: The creator, a Transmigrator akin to the Host, imprinted the fertilized egg with the collective knowledge, skills, and combat techniques of both universes. This includes, but is not limited to: All known Wizard spells (Charms, Transfiguration, Potions, Dark Arts), and the full move-sets, abilities, and battle instincts of the Pokémon world. >>
<< RESULT: The entity within possesses an innate, encyclopedic understanding of two complete systems of power from birth. Its brain and soul are pre-loaded with millennia of accumulated knowledge. >>
Indra felt a chill that had nothing to do with the room's temperature. It wasn't just a beast; it was a scholar and a warrior, a living library of arcane and elemental arts, waiting to be born.
<< 3. DIVINE CATALYST: The egg was then submerged and saturated for a period exceeding four millennia in the Divine Ichor of a Solar Deity (Designation: Sun God). >>
<< RESULT: The biological and spiritual matrix absorbed the fundamental essence of solar divinity, elevating its base nature from 'Mythical Beast' to 'Nascent Divine Entity.' >>
A god's blood. Soaked for four thousand years. The egg in his hands had been bathing in the blood of a sun god for longer than recorded human history.
<< 4. POWER ACCRETION PHASE: Post-saturation, the egg was sealed within the core of a Magnetar – a neutron star with a magnetic field of incalculable power. It remained there for approximately five millennia, absorbing and converting the star's raw cosmic radiation. >>
<< RESULT: The entity accumulated a reservoir of pure cosmic energy equivalent to a small galaxy. Its life force is now inextricably linked to stellar phenomena. >>
Indra stared, utterly awestruck. This wasn't a pet. This wasn't a summon. This was a god-in-waiting, a being whose cradle had been the heart of a dying star. It had absorbed the power of a magnetar. The sheer scale was incomprehensible.
<< SYSTEM MODIFICATION: Upon acquisition, the System has altered the entity's energy core to be compatible with this world's physics. Its power now manifests as Pure Cosmic Energy, synonymous with Primordial or Natural Energy. Its knowledge of magic remains, though its power source does not rely on it. >>
The system's final note was a small mercy. At least it wouldn't break reality by casting a spell.
He sat in stunned silence, the weight of the appraisal pressing down on him. This creature, this Celestial Ignis-Avian, was a new sun god, more potent than any existing one, armed with the combined wisdom and combat prowess of two entire universes.
Finally, he managed to form a coherent thought. System. How long until it hatches?
The system's response was almost… apologetic.
DING.
<< HATCHING PARAMETERS ANALYSIS… >>
<< TO INITIATE THE HATCHING PROCESS, THE EGG REQUIRES AN IMMENSE INFLUX OF COSMIC/PRIMORDIAL ENERGY TO ACTIVATE ITS DORMANT CORE. >>
<< BASELINE ENERGY REQUIREMENT CALCULATED… >>
<< RESULT: THE ENERGY EQUIVALENT OF 7 TO 8 FULL UNIVERSAL LIFE CYCLES (I.E., FROM A SINGULARITY TO A 'BIG BANG' EXPANSION, STELLAR FORMATION, AND EVENTUAL HEAT DEATH). >>
<< IN LAYMAN'S TERMS: YOU WOULD NEED TO WITNESS 7 OR 8 UNIVERSES BEING BORN, LIVING, AND DYING TO PROVIDE SUFFICIENT ENERGY. >>
The world seemed to tilt. Indra's jaw went slack. He looked from the system's message to the warm, innocent-looking egg in his hands, and then back again.
SEVEN OR EIGHT BIG BANGS?! he screamed internally, all awe evaporating in a torrent of pure, unadulterated fury. WHAT IS THE POINT OF GIVING ME A GIFT THAT REQUIRES THE ENERGY OF MULTIPLE CREATION EVENTS TO USE?! ARE YOU INSANE?! IS THIS SOME KIND OF COSMIC PRACTICAL JOKE?! YOU WANT ME TO SIT HERE HOLDING THIS THING UNTIL THE SUN BURNS OUT AND A FEW NEW UNIVERSES TAKE ITS PLACE?! FUCK FUCK FUCK YOU MINDLESS SYSTEM GIVE ME BACK TO MY SIMULATION POINT'S WHAT IS THE MEANING I HAVE THIS COSMIC EGG I HAS NO WAY I WAS GOING TO HATCH THIS COSMIC EGG.
He cursed the system. He cursed it in the language of his previous life, he cursed it in Uchiha, he cursed it in the silent, elegant syntax of the Six Eyes. He called it a scam artist, a fraudulent merchant, a digital dung beetle. He spent a good five minutes in a spectacular, silent meltdown, his face a contorted mask of rage and disbelief, all while gently cradling the egg that required the power of creation itself to hatch.
Finally, spent and panting, he slumped forward, his forehead resting gently on the warm, pulsating shell.
The system, having weathered his tantrum, remained silent. The egg, for its part, seemed to pulse a little brighter, as if amused by the frantic despair of its would-be caretaker. He was now the guardian of the most powerful, most knowledge-rich, and most utterly, hopelessly inaccessible birthday present in the history of existence.
