Chapter 402: Let The Games Begin
Chapter 402: Let The Games Begin
Ash sat cross-legged within his inner verse, with a smile like no other gracing his face.
His satisfaction stemmed less from the game itself and more from the remarkable insights the spirits had gained.
“If I’m correct,” he said, “there are indeed eighteen Organisms. And in just one month, everything will reset?”
In truth, the so-called champions were of little concern to him. What truly thrilled him was the prospect of a complete reset, an opportunity for everything to begin anew.
He knew this to some extent, just like with all the other endings he’d seen—new civilizations always emerged.
But they always grew from the remnants of what came before.
A progenitor might sometimes emerge from the flaws of an existing one, but this time was different—everything felt like it was about to be wiped clean and rebuilt from scratch.
And that was perfect for him.
With the power Ash now possessed, anything beneath the High Dimensions could be manipulated at will, across all organisms.
In truth, he could accomplish almost any task he assigned to his companions instantly, but he chose not to—because his women and brothers deserved the chance to live fully and flaunt their own achievements.
“This changes everything,” he said. “If everything will be restored anyway… I’ll just move my plans forward.”
“As I told you, you’ll only grow stronger in the end,” Elysia replied, knowing that nothing would truly change—if anything, they would only gain more.
Ash’s original aim was to wipe out existence entirely, taking each dimension for himself and merging it into his own.
Which is why many of his companions had goals intertwined with some form of annihilation.
Now, though, he could act while his companions still had the chance to fulfill their ambitions.
“These fools are only feeding a greedy beast,” Creara teased.
“Alright, before that… let’s all undergo an evolution,” he said with a smile. “They actually thought giving the ineffable 10,000 years was a smart move.”
In the next moment he disappeared… as he had his women waiting for him.

[A/N: Skipping the usual shenanigans for now!] 🙂
After the usual banter, Ash and his women all stood together in an open field of the Originat Haven.
The grass beneath their feet was golden, stretching out for miles under a sky painted with gentle auroras that never fully faded.
In the distance, the Velora Kingdom’s white-and-red spires gleamed… and many other societal things could be seen.
Ash stood at the center, still in his baggy black clothes, one arm loosely around Xeros’ shoulders as the group gathered in a loose circle.
Though he had called for everyone to return, Kaelthyr, Thalion and the twins still remained on the outside. As they were caught up with other things.
Not that it mattered though, with their divinity they would be able to withstand anything.
Currently it was just his wives along with Aurora, Isis, Tiamat, Tylor, Lirael, the chained Beast Progenitor and a few others.
Some sitting on the grass, others floating comfortably in the air, a few leaning against each other. The atmosphere was warm, relaxed, yet charged with quiet anticipation.
For one, those who had never come into his inner verse were truly shocked.
Xero’s was perhaps the most overwhelmed. While he watched his mothers completely eradicate the middle dimension.
He could never imagine that his father was responsible for countless more beings.
The revelation was something that made him look at Ash in a completely different light than before.

Ash looked around at all of them and smiled. Seeing everyone… he truly couldn’t get enough of the feeling of wholesomeness.
However, they were not particularly gathered for free time. Not yet… at least.
“Alright,” he said, voice steady and warm. “Let’s talk about what’s coming.”
He gave a quick rundown on everything that was to come. The Ending of the Cycle in a month, the game…. the library and everything else.
When he finished, the group was quiet for a moment, processing.
Nia was the first to speak.
“Ashy, are you not pissed for being used… for mere entertainment?”
Katherine nodded, “Right… you seem much more relaxed about all of this.”
Madison rolled her eyes, “Who cares… let’s just hope they actually fight back.”
“As long as I get to cut something worthwhile.”
Ash chuckled as he couldn’t blame their responses. “Well, I don’t really care because I’m indeed hoping for quite the surprises.”
He then shrugged, “Anyways, let’s get down to business. Before we spend some time together~”
“Everyone will undergo evolutions…. and those who are not Gods, prepare to become so.”
“Another evolution? Just how much more can we evolve?” Vaeloria asked as her long white-black hair flowed.
It wasn’t an absurd question at all… before though it wasn’t a clear evolution path, they knew it wasn’t random.
“Uh, who knows?” Ash said, as he honestly didn’t know either. Technically he knew ’True’ being existed, but he technically didn’t play by their rules at all anymore either.
So, who knew what they would become after 1,500x evolutions?
“Let’s just find out…” As he said this Creara waved her hands.
HUMMMMM!!!!
Over thirty white lights washed over each woman present and in the next moment they were encased within cocoons.

[A/N: Don’t worry, this evolution won’t alter their powers or God status, as those will still be revealed as the journey unfolds. However, there will be something new they’ll all gain, which will be mentioned in about a Chapter or two.]

Seeing them all encased, although Ash could make it all happen in a instant. He himself would first go clean… house.
“Well, let’s go claim some dimensions.”
With but a thought, he reappeared on the 99th Heaven of the Earth Plane. And it was in the same state it was left in.
In short…. it was broken and bloody.
Ash took this all in with a calm as he simply blinked. As he did this his Divinity… it began to spread until it covered every inch of the Middle Dimension of the Ninth Organism.
Then when his eyes opened again, the nine rings in them were spinning rapidly as he activated a few powers.
