112 Gathering 1

The moment I reappeared in the Tensura verse, I encountered a slight problem.

After absorbing all the power in the swords and becoming Omnipotent, I had gotten so heavy that reality was having trouble supporting me.

All around me, space was breaking, gravity changing, time was in chaos, and matter and energy were shattering.

I can see why even if Omnipotent beings can enter universes, they prefer to send an avatar or messenger.

Of course, I wasn't talking about my real weight, I could easily change that, but a more metaphorical one. It was basically how the Central World measured beings by their Existential Value, my EP suddenly grew beyond what this Universe can carry, causing these phenomena.

It was like how the mass of a black hole was so dense and heavy that it affected the surrounding time-space continuum.

But that was a problem for another time, now I had a meeting to attend.

****

I arrived at the Colosseum pretty quickly, thanks to my map.

There were already a few beings here, maybe a couple thousand, but since I neither knew anyone nor even knew what was going to happen, I just quietly sat as far away from others as possible, though distance mattered little to us.

I could spot some strange beings that were unlike anything I had seen before, I could tell that their real size must be extremely staggering but this colosseum had a very clever mechanism to not only fold space in such a way that everyone was the same size, but also made it possible to host an infinite number of guests.

I saw some angels, not the fantasy ones but the biblical versions, which were basically eldritch beings in white and feathers with just as many eyes.

Interestingly I even saw a group of humans. I knew there would be some humans that could reach this level but there were almost a thousand. Then again, from their clothes and the arrogance in their eyes, I could easily tell that they were cultivators.

Say what you want about these cultivation universes but you can't deny that they have a stable power system with a high upper limit and low requirements. In fact, it was more surprising that there weren't more cultivators but I guess many of these new 'Trancendents', as they call themselves, often die shortly after leaving their Reality, thinking themselves invincible and offending other Outer beings.

From what I can understand, those that didn't die formed an alliance with the other human Trancendents to help each other against these 'Evil Otherworldly Creatures'.

Over the next few Earth months, more beings started appearing and it seemed like almost everyone was here by now. Well, everyone except Azathoth.

He had a special seat reserved for himself, not only because he was probably the most powerful being in the Outerverse, but also because he was the largest contributor to keeping the Outerverse stable and stopping the erosion from the Nothingness.

His seat stood out specifically because it resembled a throne compared to the rest of the spectator stage (is that what it's called?).

Soon, it got quieter and everyone was now looking at the throne where a yellow eye with tentacles had appeared. It was definitively just formalities for him to send a clone since he was Omnipresent and all, but it certainly did its job because I could feel many of the newer beings and others that wanted to make trouble calm down.

After everyone calmed down, a strange multidimensional Cube/Ball/Pyramide appeared on stage.

''WELCOME EVERYONE, TO THE 1271th GATHERING OF THE OUTERVERSE

BEFORE WE BEGIN, LET US ALL GIVE A 'THANK YOU' TO OUR VIP, AZATHOTH, FOR ONCE AGAIN HOST THIS EVENT AS WELL AS KEEPING US SAVE FROM THE ERASURE OF THE NOTHINGNESS

NOW THAT'S OFF THE TABLE, LET US OFFICIALLY BEGIN

WE HAVE A FULL PROGRAM TO KEEP UP AFTER ALL

LET'S START OUR FIRST GAME

FOR THIS GAME WE SPECIFICALLY CREATED A NEW REALITY

THIS REALITY IS INHABITED BY MANY SPECIES

SOME SPECIES ARE FIGHTING FOR SURVIVAL WHILE SOME ARE FIGHTING FOR POWER

IN THIS GAME EVERYONE CAN CHOOSE TO LEND A RACE OR EVEN CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS A PART OF THEIR POWER

THESE CHOSEN ONES WILL THEN CONTINUE TO COMPETE WITH EACH OTHER UNTIL ONLY A HUNDRED ARE REMAINING

THE PATRONS OF THESE CHOSEN ONES WILL GET NICE REWARD; THE TOP TEN WILL EVEN GET THEIR OWN TERRITORY IN THE OUTERVERSE, CONTAINING SEVERAL REALITIES

BECOMING THE PATRON OF A RACE WILL ALSO REAP REWARDS ACCORDING TO THEIR STRENGTH AT THE END, THOUGH THE REWARDS ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT AS JUICY AS SUPPORTING A SINGLE BEING

AS THE SAYING GOES; THE GREATER THE RISK, THE GREATER THE REWARD

LET THE FUN BEGIN''

A/N: I want most of these games to be the typical Manga/Manhua/Manhwa/Webtoon situation. There are going to be gate, tower, battle royal, and many more events.

You can skip this arc as it's just me fooling around a bit and trying to see these events through different eyes. Nothing important is going to happen and I'm going to skip the details of these games. It won't take long before we go to the next reality, probably 3 chapters.
