[Chat Group Notification: Near-Omnipotent Being has joined the chat group!]
[Chat Group Notification: Goddess of the Moon has joined the chat group!]
Poison Ivy Heir: Welcome, newcomers! This is a chat group that connects people across countless worlds!
Vase Leader: Welcome, both of you! Feel free to chat, this is all real, not some illusion.
Young Miss of the East: If you're confused about anything, you can ask me or check the group announcement!
Inazuma Shadow Warrior: Welcome, newcomers.
Young Miss of the East: Ah! It's Lady Shadow! You finally came out!
Poison Ivy Heir: Lady Shadow actually spoke! Does this mean you've resolved your troubles?
Vase Leader: Lady Shadow, are you doing alright?
Inazuma Shadow Warrior: Thank you for your concern. I'm fine.
Teyvat Continent, Inazuma,
Tenshukaku,
Inside the grand hall, a woman knelt in silence. Her long, dark-purple hair was tied into a braid that cascaded down her back. Her pale violet eyes carried an air of quiet melancholy, and a single beauty mark beneath her right eye added a delicate charm to her flawless features.
She wore an ornate purple kimono, adorned with a black-and-gold shoulder guard on her left side. A violet flower and a folding fan decorated her hair, completing her regal appearance.
This was none other than one of the Seven Archons of Teyvat—the Electro Archon, the ruler of Inazuma. Her true name was Baal, the Raiden Shogun, though she also went by Ei.
Raiden Ei knelt in the main hall, her slender, shapely thighs, wrapped in black thigh-high stockings, pressed perfectly against the wooden floor without the slightest gap.
As the Electro Archon, she had grown weary—both in body and mind. In her pursuit of eternity, she had exhausted every possible method.
The only solace she found was in this multiversal chat group, where she could converse with people from other worlds. Here, she could voice thoughts that she could never reveal as the Shogun.
Even now, despite her exhaustion, a faint sense of amusement flickered in her heart as she observed the newcomers.
"New members, huh? Let's see what kind of interesting people have joined this time."
Ei murmured softly to herself before typing again.
Inazuma Shadow Warrior: Rather than worrying about me, everyone should focus on welcoming our new friends.
Poison Ivy Heir: You're right, Lady Shadow!
Vase Leader: Huh? These two newcomers' names sound pretty impressive!
Young Miss of the East: Right! "Goddess of the Moon" and... "Near-Omnipotent Being"?!
Goddess of the Moon: Wha—?! What kind of smart system is this?! It actually hacked into my terminal!
Young Miss of the East: Ah! The newbie spoke!
Poison Ivy Heir: Eh? Terminal?
Vase Leader: Wait, is this "Goddess of the Moon" a robot or something?
Goddess of the Moon: No! No! My name is Artemis! I'm not a robot, I'm a Machine God!!!
Poison Ivy Heir: Uh... Machine God?
Vase Leader: So, like... a mechanical lifeform?
Goddess of the Moon: W-Well, I guess you could put it that way...
Poison Ivy Heir: Unbelievable. There really are all kinds of beings out there...
Meanwhile, Lin Yue had finished reading the group's introductory announcement.
He skimmed through the members' names and messages, piecing together their identities.
Inazuma Shadow Warrior? No need to guess—the others called her "Lady Shadow," so she had to be Raiden Ei, the sister of the previous Electro Archon, Makoto.
Poison Ivy Heir? The name "Poison Ivy" immediately brought to mind Saeko Busujima from that classic zombie anime.
Goddess of the Moon (Artemis)? The terms "Machine God" and "Artemis" suggested she was from the Type-Moon universe, specifically the Olympian Pantheon. Unlike traditional Greek gods, the Type-Moon versions were mechanical lifeforms—divine spirits who later downgraded their Saint Graphs into human forms.
Just as Lin Yue was analyzing the group's dynamics, a familiar electronic chime echoed in his mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host! After one year of continuous check-ins, you have unlocked the new system function: 「Ascension」.]
"Hm? A new function?"
"Finally, this thing's starting to feel like a proper system."
Lin Yue stroked his chin and examined the 「Ascension」 feature.
In simple terms, it allowed him to "ascend"—or upgrade—items and abilities. The process could trigger a qualitative transformation. For example, the "Heart of the Universe" power he currently possessed could be ascended repeatedly.
If refined enough, this incomplete fragment of OAA's power could evolve into the full authority of OAA itself—and if pushed further, it might even surpass OAA entirely!!!
Lin Yue's eyes burned with excitement.
Sure, the Heart of the Universe had made him incredibly powerful, but compared to the absolute omnipotence of OAA, the gap was still astronomical.
Now, with 「Ascension」, he finally had a path to reach—and possibly transcend—that level.
Of course, 「Ascension」 wasn't something he could just spam freely, each use required Intimacy Points.
And how did one earn Intimacy Points?
Simple: by interacting with female characters across the multiverse. Any kind of interaction counted.
Reading this, Lin Yue set a little goal for himself: More flirting, more touching, more points! He needed to stockpile enough to fully upgrade the Heart of the Universe as soon as possible.
"Not bad, not bad… This chat group came at the perfect time!"
A faint smirk curled on his lips.
If he had to rely solely on the women in his current world, he'd be severely limited—especially since he couldn't freely travel to other dimensions yet.
But this multiversal chat group? It was the perfect workaround. Now, he could mingle with beauties from countless worlds without even leaving his seat.
Young Miss of the East: @Near-Omnipotent, hey, do you have any questions? Feel free to ask us if you're confused!
Poison Ivy Heir: If you don't know how to send messages, just think them! It's super easy.
Near-Omnipotent: Hello, everyone. Sorry for the late reply—I was dealing with something else earlier.
Inazuma Shadow Warrior: Ah, the other newcomer finally speaks. Judging by that name, you don't seem ordinary either.
Vase Leader: "Omnipotent"? Does such a being really exist?
Goddess of the Moon (Artemis): Omnipotent… Like our Chief God, Zeus? After all, He is the "All-Father"!
Near-Omnipotent (Lin Yue): I'm far from omnipotent. True "all-knowing, all-powerful" beings don't exist.
Inazuma Shadow Warrior: Your name does say "near" omnipotent, so that checks out.
Poison Ivy Heir: Even if you're not fully omnipotent, you're still close enough! That makes you a total badass!
Vase Leader: Bow before the mighty one!
Young Miss of the East: *+1*
Near-Omnipotent (Lin Yue): Cough, cough—no need for that. Just call me Lin Yue.
Vase Leader: Huh? That name… sounds like a guy's!
Lin Yue couldn't help but chuckle at the chat's reactions. Then, he turned his attention to his status screen:
[Name: Lin Yue]
[Power Level: Omniversal+]
[Abilities:
All-Encompassing Charisma
One-of-a-Kind Existence
Know-It-All (Self-Proclaimed)
Unfathomable Virility ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Heart of the Universe (Incomplete OAA Fragment)]
[Inventory:
Thunderfire Blade
HP Potions x ∞
MP Potions x ∞
Gold Pile x 1 (Because Why Not?)
...and other "useful" items.]
The Heart of the Universe had already given him a massive boost, but he was far from done.
"Time to get grinding."
