Chapter 743: Chat Room Grouping, The Birth of the Group Leader's Harem!
"Hoo..."
A breath, heavy with the weight of eons, escaped his lips.
He didn't know how much time had passed. In this space, time was a concept that had long since shattered into meaningless fragments.
Ren opened his eyes in the void.
His irises no longer reflected the simple black of a human. Instead, they seemed to contain the circulation of countless universes—galaxies spinning, dying, and rebirthing in a rhythm only he could hear.
These cosmic cycles finally formed intricate, glowing circuits on a massive, spectral tree that existed within his soul.
"An existence beyond the multiverse?"
He clenched his fist, feeling the power course through him. It wasn't just mana or energy; it was authority.
He could realize or sever all possibilities describable by any abstract model of the universe.
If he wished, he could make 1+1 equal 3. He could make gravity repel instead of attract.
Simply put, his existence was the entire height that mathematical models could reach, and perhaps a step beyond.
Destroying and creating multiple multiverses could only be described as the lowest, most primitive form of his power.
There was much he could do.
But his gaze was quickly drawn to a change in his own power structure.
The [Infinite Tree Prototype]—the core of his progression—had truly grown. It had shed its "Prototype" status.
[Infinite Tree (1v13)]
The branches extended into dimensions he hadn't perceived before. The leaves rustled with the whispers of timelines.
But beyond that, Ren narrowed his eyes. He could no longer see the upgrade path.
The familiar "Experience Bar" or "Point Requirement" was gone.
Had Doomsday Points become ineffective for his abilities?
No. That wasn't it.
The change appeared on a new panel: [Myriad Worlds Laws].
[Myriad Worlds Laws: Infinite]
[First Stage: Creation]
[Second Stage: Unlocked]
[Third Stage: Unlocked]
Its name was the Three-Stage Law.
The first stage was named: Creation.
This was the origin of the Law inscribed in the Source of Myriad Worlds. It was the "Big Bang" of a concept. It was the creation of the Great Power of the Law Creator—the ability to define what exists.
The second stage was named: Evolution.
This was the process of infinite accumulation and infinite evolution of the Law after creation. During this phase, the Law would slowly permeate into the Myriad Worlds, infecting reality with its logic.
The third stage was named: Constancy.
The Law becomes constant within the Source of Myriad Worlds. It becomes a fundamental truth, immutable and eternal. By then, the Law would become the force that changed the Myriad Worlds across the Three Phases (Past, Present, Future) and even beyond the concepts of time.
But Ren frowned deeply.
In his understanding of his own Law—the Law of Infinity—the concept should have more than three stages.
Because this wasn't right. It felt... incomplete.
No matter how the Three-Stage Law created, evolved, or remained constant.
They were always based on the Source of Myriad Worlds only. They were playing within the sandbox.
But weren't the candidates for the Lord of Myriad Worlds—like the Devouring King and the Fate King—ultimately competing for control of the Myriad Worlds?
If all Laws were based on the Source, how could one compete for the Source itself? It was like trying to lift a chair while sitting on it.
This was a false proposition. A logical paradox.
Therefore, the Law should not only have three stages. There had to be a Fourth Stage—something that transcended the Source.
But the Chat Group only displayed three stages.
"Is it because the Chat Group itself is also just a product of the Law of Destiny? So it doesn't know what the ultimate outcome beyond the Source will be?"
This was Ren's most probable guess, based on the assumption that the Chat Group had no hidden information kept from him as the Administrator.
The key was the shift in currency.
Future improvements would no longer be based on abilities or raw points, but on Laws.
Corresponding to this was the Chat Group's new function, which flickered into existence on his interface.
[Function Unlocked: Law Conversion]
[Law Conversion: All power will be converted into accumulation for Law evolution, becoming fragments of the Source of Myriad Worlds.]
"Everything?"
Ren rubbed his chin, intrigued.
He had an idea: "Can Doomsday Points be converted? Or are they obsolete currency now?"
[Ding! Doomsday Points can be converted into Source of Myriad Worlds fragments through the Law Conversion function!]
Ren's eyes lit up.
Source of Myriad Worlds fragments were precisely what could further enhance the Law and push the Evolution stage.
He glanced at his balance.
[Doomsday Points: 26,000,000,000 (26 Billion)]
"How is the conversion ratio divided?"
[Ding! 50 Billion Doomsday Points convert to ONE Source of Myriad Worlds fragment!]
"Tsk."
Ren clicked his tongue. "Inflation hits hard even in the multiverse."
He knew that Source of Myriad Worlds fragments were not cheap, but this ratio was brutal.
Ultimately, it still required Doomsday Points. He needed to farm more apocalypses.
[Ding! Law Conversion can be any power! Items, Skills, or Divinities can also be sacrificed!]
"Alright, Doomsday Points are just one of them. I can scrap useless Noble Phantasms or authorities later."
Ren sighed, closing the status window.
Then he opened the chat room. It was time to face his subjects.
He scrolled through the messages, a slight curve forming on his lips. The group had been in chaos since he disappeared into the vortex.
[Ren: It seems you all care a lot about me, your Group Leader. I'm touched.]
[Shiroyasha: Are you showing off as soon as you're back? You worry us to death and then seek praise?]
[Ch'en: Ren, what's with this Group Leader thing? The title changed from 'Administrator' to 'Group Leader'.]
[Ren: It's nothing much. I just happened to discover that the Doomsday Game was related to the Chat Group. And after resolving the Doomsday Game, I just happened to become the Group Leader, and just happened to become much stronger.]
[Aqua: Emmm, with so many 'just happened's, why don't you say having the Chat Group also 'just happened'? You sound like a light novel protagonist!]
[Ren: It really just happened. Destiny is funny like that.]
[March 7th: Oh my, compared to all that, I'm more concerned about what's special about becoming the Group Leader? Any new perks for us?]
[Ren: Well, currently, to put it simply, it just adds two functions: Chat Room Grouping and World Travel Permission.]
He then concisely explained these two functions to everyone.
[Tushan Honghong: Ah? World travel permission means Brother Ren can travel between worlds without anyone's permission? You can come to Tushan anytime?]
[Ren: That's one way to understand it. I have the master key now.]
[Exusiai: That's great! Traveling between worlds doesn't require doomsday points anymore, so we can stay as long as we want! No more expensive tickets!]
[Exusiai: When I have time, I want to go to your world, Ren, to play! I want to try that apple pie you mentioned!]
[Shinobu Kocho: Mitsuri and the others want to go too. We want to see a world without demons.]
[Ren: Mm, you can come anytime you have time. The villa has plenty of rooms.]
Suddenly, a message broke the flow.
[Ainz: Cough cough!]
[Ainz: Everyone look at me! Attention please!]
[Kiana: What do you want to do, Bone King?]
[Ainz: I saw that Chat Group grouping function, and I have an idea.]
[Ainz: I suggest we separate the men and women, what do you think? A Men's Lounge and a Ladies' Tea Room!]
[Ainz: Actually, we have a lot of little topics just for men that we want to discuss, but there are too many people, so it's awkward to talk about them. Sakata Gintoki, you agree, right?]
[Sakata Gintoki: I agree! Absolutely agree! Finally, a place to talk about jump issues and... other things without getting judged!]
[Ren: What do others think?]
[Mikoto Suoh: I have no objection. It's too noisy here sometimes.]
[Saiki Kusuo: Me too. Less telepathic noise.]
[Reinhardt: I also think there's no problem. A knight sometimes needs distinct company.]
[Ying Zheng: Acceptable. Even Emperors need private councils.]
[Ainz: See, everyone has no objection, hehe, big boss, let's do it! Create the 'Supreme Beings' Lounge'!]
[Ren: Alright. If that's what you want.]
[Ding! The Doomsday Chat Group Administrator has enabled the Chat Room Grouping function!]
[Ding! Creating Sub-Channel: Men's Lounge...]
[Transferring: Ainz Ooal Gown, Sakata Gintoki, Mikoto Suoh, Saiki Kusuo, Reinhardt, Ying Zheng, King...]
Soon, a notification appeared that several people had been moved out of this chat room.
A new chat room was created, and everyone was transferred into it.
It was named the Sub Chat Room.
Inside the [Sub Chat Room]:
[Ainz: Oh oh oh! It's the scent of freedom!!! No more worrying about appearing dignified in front of the ladies!]
[Sakata Gintoki: Hehehe, finally! I'm more curious about what your little topic is. Is it about that? The latest issue of that magazine?]
[Ainz: Hehehe, of course it's… GAMES!!!]
[Sakata Gintoki: ???]
[Sakata Gintoki: Games? Video games?]
[Ainz: Cough cough cough, yes! I think the entertainment in this world is a bit boring, so I plan to create a game using Nazarick's resources! A massive MMORPG! I need beta testers!]
[Sakata Gintoki: Is that… all???]
[Sakata Gintoki: I put on my pants for this?!]
Sakata Gintoki was extremely disappointed. He slumped over his desk in Edo.
He thought it would be some topics specifically for men—dirty jokes, complaining about women, or sharing secret stashes. But it was just the Bone King wanting to be a Game Dev?
Ren, monitoring the sub-chat, twitched his lips.
He hadn't expected Ainz to make such a suggestion for something so wholesome. But considering Ainz was a gamer at heart, it made sense.
Meanwhile, in the [Main Chat Room].
The atmosphere shifted instantly. With the noisy men gone, the chat felt... different.
It was quieter, yet more intimate.
The women realized something.
[Shiroyasha: Oh dear, oh dear. Look at the member list.]
[Shiroyasha: With so many women left, and only one man remaining...]
[Shiroyasha: Won't this effectively become the Administrator's harem chat?]
[Exusiai: ...Eh?]
Exusiai paused, checking the list. Ren. And then... forty women.
[Exusiai: Isn't it? Wait, it totally is!]
