Chapter 269: Unknown Powers
—
Neji was sitting on a balcony of his palace— a supernatural balcony which existed in his heaven, yet at the same time in the outside world. As the ball-heaven flew to the Land of Earth, the balcony showed the moving scenery there as the wind blew on his face.
Neji was enjoying tea when the door opened behind him, making him sigh. "Knock before you enter." He said, without even turning to look at Jashin.
"...Sorry, I supposed you'd know I was coming either way." The Goddess of Death said, walking over and looking at a chair, and upon seeing him shrug she took it as a sign and sat down. "You summoned me?"
"Yes." Neji nodded, putting down the tea on the table on his side. "About the Gods. I wanted to ask what they think of me ascending and what they plan to do."
"Well, we were investigating your background before you… abducted me." The goddess said with her emrald eyes looking at him. "We figured out that you may not be from our universe. We found signs of reality changing, but not who or what caused it or even the result of it, beyond that you had somehow slipped into our world without us noticing. We theorise that you are a God who, by himself or by someone else's help, rewrote reality to fit yourself in this world."
"Hm," Neji hummed. Was it because Lady Luck was weakened that they could sense the meddling with reality? Or… was it another one of her ploys?
Neji sighed. "What are the chances that the Gods would want to confront me? And if the chance is high, how much time do I have at hand?"
Neji wasn't scared of them. He had fought Gods from the Prime Omniverse— weakened by the Omniversal Will or not. It was hard to fear normal Gods after that.
"I don't think they'd want to confront you at all," Jashin said, making him surprised. "Due to two main reasons. The first one is— the God Mahakala's prophesy. It said that in a few years from now, the 4th Great Ninja War would happen, which may bring an end to the world or make the world enter its modern golden era. Due to your intervention, I hear the time of the war is coming faster. The Gods wouldn't move to target you, since you may as well die in the upcoming War. If you don't, then perhaps they would meddle with you, though not necessarily try to kill you."
"You are not lying?" Neji asked, putting a hand under her chin and making her look up. A blush grew on her beautiful face and she gulped, nodding her head. "Alright, I will take your words for it. Remember, you don't want to lie to me."
In hindsight, that reasoning also explained why the Sage of Six Paths hadn't meddled with him yet. Since the world might get destroyed anyway, a variable doing smaller destruction may not matter in the grand scheme of things— not until the war concluded, anyway. Sure, he stole lots of souls that should have went to Hagoromo's Pure Land, but if the war was lost by humanity's side they'd all be put into a comatose state, to only dream a false life, to never reach the Pure Land as well. In comparison to that scenario, Neji had only stolen a small portion of souls. So Hagoromo might rather wait until the War is done before descending.
As for why Hagoromo didn't care that Naruto was dead? Because Naruto wasn't dead at all. One of Neji's clones had seen him in the corner of its sight. He was… different now, but he was at least alive. In short, Hagoromo had no immediate reason to descend down in the mortal realm just to meddle with a mortal who may even help in the War to subdue his mother.
Neji looked at Jashin. "As for the second reason?"
"...Because of your divine status," Jashin said, releasing a sigh once he let her chin go. "You are a relatively new God, but after spending an entire day with you while getting… intimate, I have sensed the depth of your divinity. Your faith points aren't that many, I myself have more, but the depth, the authority behind it is mind-numbing. You probably don't know how to, but by releasing your [Divine Status] you can even make normal gods lose their consciousness."
Neji frowned. So was it similar to Conqueror's Haki? Still, something confused him. "Can you explain this depth thing a bit better?"
"Well," Jashin searched for her words. "Basically, when a mortal grows into a God, all his life's achievement until that point onward is counted to grant him a depth, the rank of their starting Godhood. You had enough juice to start your Godhood with the ability to create a heaven that stretches for a few thousand kilometres. That's something noteworthy."
"Huh." Neji blinked. "I wonder why." He was being sarcastic, of course, he knew why this happened. He did kill 300 Omniversal Gods while he was a mortal. Truth be told, he doubted if any other being had the same achievement as his as a mortal. Heck, he shouldn't have been a mortal at that point— with thousands of levels on his name, if not for the Curse of Primordial. He may as well be the only one in the whole Omniverse with such a mortal history, assuming suffering from the Curse of Primordial wasn't a common thing.
["Well, yeah, you are right. This starting level is why you can create Heaven but Yue can't."] Lady Luck's voice flowed into his ears. ["There's a thing called "Tales" for divine beings, that is the "depth" that Jashin is talking about, she just can't explain because Naruto is a lower world and the Gods themselves can't understand what a Tale is. But that's why I am here~"] Lady Luck hummed in his ears.
Neji waited for her to continue, not giving her any sign of gratitude out of spite that she didn't explain earlier.
["Hey hey, don't be mad. I will explain now. Basically, each of the "Tales" is the personification of the achievements of a divine being. A person can have multiple Tales if their achievement is great enough. Even Abstract Entities such as I have Tales. There are beings in this Omniverse whose tales surpass yours, given you are so young, however those beings are few. After all, who you killed were 300 Prime Gods, with one of them being the daughter of the Primordial. The fun part is,"] Lady Luck trailed off. ["When I said "those beings are very few", I meant divine beings or abstract entities as strong as or stronger than myself. As a mortal, no other person but you have earned such an achievement. In fact, the only being who even comes close to your mortal achievement is the guy who you may know as the Biblical God."]
Lady Luck paused, letting him understand the meaning of her words before clarifying something. ["By the Biblical God, I don't mean the one from DxD or whatever, by the way. I mean the real deal. One of the very few, forbidden-to-talk, [Class-0] Abstract Entities of this Omniverse. The Personification of Omnipotence."]
Neji shuddered.
["Anyway, for now— all of the benefits of such a "Tale" is unable to be used by you, because of how great it weighs. You'll simply die. But no worries, given the speed of growth that the Gamer System allows, you will reach the level to use that Tale any time…. Haah, I am starting to think you might actually live up to your promise of freeing me, kid."] Lady Luck moaned in his ears. ["The thought is turning me on, honestly. Be quick and come back~"]
"...Are you talking to someone else?" it was Jashin who spoke and broke Neji out of his daze.
Neji gulped. "Oh, nothing, forget it." He smiled. "I just realised I am so awesome."
"Uh…" Jashin sighed. "Anyway, the point is, having a God with your divine depth will be useful in case of outer invasions. We Gods govern over hundreds of worlds, that's why I am strong despite having no believer in this planet. So I doubt the other Gods will mind if you even demand this planet for yourself, though only after the War ends." Jashin finished.
That made sense. Somewhat. The outer enemies probably meant Gods from other universes, and not simply aliens or Gods from other galaxies. In any case, he was safe for now, until the 4th Ninja War's conclusion. Unfortunately for the Gods, he would have to dip after that war, because fighting them may as well alert Primordial who was actively searching for him.
Abruptly, Lady Luck's voice came out again. ["Before I go, can you promise that you will pretend to be the Bible God once you go to DxD?? That'll be so much fun to watch–"]
Neji cut her silly words by activating Blank. Also, what did she mean by 'before I go', what was he going to do? In the end, Neji decided not to think too much of it and continued his journey.
'But wait, if it's all my achievement, why didn't she clarify it before when Yue said it may be because of her?' Neji frowned. 'Hey, you listening?'
["Lalala~"]

Tsunade asked him to keep an eye out for Anko, but it was easier said than done.
As Neji had said before, the five elemental nations were as big as continents from both his previous worlds. So to keep an eye for a person while travelling towards another land— yes, it was hard.
Except Neji had 2816 LUC, and 675 Clones (courtesy to the point he put in INT), so hard it may be, but it wasn't impossible.
He had to fly slower until he found her, but in the end he at least did find the woman. Anko Mitarashi.
Neji was conversing with Tsunade, with the latter sitting on the same seat Jashin was seated before Neji told her to leave. They've been talking for hours, with Tsunade mostly listening to him in amusement as he explained his relationship with the other girls.
"So basically," Tsunade asked, smiling as she found this all too amusing. "You are 'just' gathering followers and priests? And the girls just happened to fill the bill?" She didn't bother waiting for his response and broke out in a laugh. "Haah, why am I not mad? Really I thought finally a guy, a kid, was interested in me. But I just happened to be one of the many he was targeting?"
Neji watched as she stared at him dryly, and slowly her laugh became dry as she sighed and facepalmed. "Fuck..."
Neji cleared his throat, pretending he said nothing wrong. "Anyway, you told me to find Anko, right? I just found her."
Tsunade parted her fingers and looked at him through the gap. "Just now? What perfect timing, isn't it?" After a short silence, she just shook her head. "Forget it. I guess a God should have a bigger heart than a human and thus can love me the same, if not more, amount as the other girls? Don't tell me even if that's not true, I want to believe that."
Neji was about to open his mouth, but right then, some system messages popped up.
[Ding! Requirements have been met!]
[The Title, "Harem Lord", has evolved to "Harem King"!]
===
Title: Harem King
Details: You are not a simple Lord at managing multiple girls, you are a King now. With more than 15 girls in deep love with you, you are doing pretty well— but! Do you deeply love them? All of them?
Effects-
(1) A Harem may not be equal, and you may not love every girl the same— as that'd go against the nature of an intelligent being. However, you as their lover will at least love each of them with all your heart. If a girl in your Harem loves you, you will love her back enough to not make her feel neglectance.
*Allows your emotions to develop in a way that can make you love all your girls, maybe not equally but surely fully.
(2) You are a charming man, it would be weird if females aren't naturally attracted to you.
*Allows all females to be more open to your approaches, and once they fall in love with you they can't live without you.
(3) Even if a girl is taken, they might just want to see what other males— in this particular case, you, may offer her.
*Allows taken girls/women to be more open to your approaches.
(4) A King can't be with a single girl forever, that goes against the natural concept of Kings. Girls know that, and once they realise you are one of such Kings, they might not reject the idea of sharing you with others.
*Makes girls who already have fallen for you to accept the idea of being in your harem and thus sharing you.

Neji briefed the text in front of him, and to Tsunade's eyes he looked like he was in deep thought while staring at the air. After hesitating for a moment, Tsunade gulped and leaned over to kiss him on the lips.
He blinked, breaking out of his daze, and returned the kiss— pulling her towards him when she tried to end it, pushing her on top of his lap and squeezing her butt as he kissed her deeply.
Tsunade didn't exactly struggle, just sighing mentally and starting to move on his rhythm, experiencing pleasure that she hadn't felt in decades.
The kiss ended a minute later and Tsunade huffed, looking at him with sly eyes. "It was supposed to be a short peck."
"Apologies, hard to control myself around you." He said, gently feeling her backside. "You remind me of my mother."
Tsunade opened her mouth to say something before breaking into laughter.
"Did you just say that?!" She laughed out loud. "While feeling my butt?" She kept laughing. "Wait, didn't your mother die when giving birth? Oh-" Tsunade blinked. "Right. Reincarnation." She went silent, as did Neji, and after a while she looked into his eyes with curiosity. "Is she alive?"
"..Not anymore. But don't worry, she's in another heaven." Neji told her. "She was… caring. She cared about me a lot. You sometimes remind me of her, in that regard."
Tsunade tilted her head, putting her arms around his neck and looking at him like he was someone she didn't know at all. "Who else did you have in your family?" She asked. "I… am really curious about what type of life you led there. And-" she paused. "Wait, didn't you say you found Anko?! Come on, why are we wasting time here?!"
Neji sighed at her response, forced to end their lovely session, and teleported themselves in front of Anko.
Except he teleported with the chair, where he sat with Tsunade still on top of him.
"..." Anko, who was eating a fried snake beside a campfire, paused and stared at the scene in silence while Tsunade blinked, realisation slowly creeping into her. "Ah, shit, now I am even hallucinating."
