Chapter 16 - Decision in the dark.
There might be many mistakes as I'm feeling a headache right so I haven't checked this chapter...
Hope you can point out mistakes. 😤🥲

~(Somewhere in the Void)~
A huge island was floating. The whole structure was huge and was probably around of the size of a county. The whole surface was covered with transparent runes to add beauty and nature to it.
A lot of servants were working in a hurry and one of the head butlers was rushing toward a direction of a huge door.
The butler had dark red hair reaching his back. He hurriedly opened the door.
The interior of the huge structure was so fascinating and beautiful that anyone would decide to spend their lives in the place. The middle area of the room had a huge yellow magic circle and had a big round table while having several thrones for sitting purposes. Then there were several huge colorful crystals floating in different directions. Their flat surface was facing towards the center of the room.
The man was very nervous and was sweating but he quickly reached the middle area and after kneeling, he ran his mana in the magic circuit. The magic circle glowed yellow a little and suddenly a holographic structure started to form and soon several translucent humanoid structures formed. Most of them had very bulky body muscles and even as a holographic structure, they were still radiating with power. The most prominent of all the people was a man with blue hair with a halo around his head.
{A/N: Guess who?}
The butler stood up but his head was still looking at the floor. He didn't dare to look up or even speak a word fearing that his actions might anger one of the beings. Ainzus just smiled softly at him and spoke to him, "Thank you for all your hard work, Herald. Can you please give us free space for our meeting? Oh! by the way, don't let anyone disturb us."
The butler thanked Ainzus and quickly left the room with hurried steps. Ainzus then laughed a little and then invited all other beings, "Haha, why don't we start the meeting. I know you all are dissatisfied with the current situation but I will try my best to remove all your dissatisfaction."
They sat on the round table but silence prevailed for some time as although they were dissatisfied, they wanted to have an advantage over each other.
One of the being snorted and while smashing his hand on the table, he said, "Hmuf, Ainzus, do you know that your future self destroyed the balance of the Infiniteverse! Just because you are in power don't mean you can do whatever you want!". He was a bulky huge humanoid figure in his old age. He had pale skin and had shoulder-length white hair and he also had a long white beard and blue eyes. He was 5 meters high and had a bare chest while only wearing a piece of cloth hiding his lower body parts. Some small sparks can be seen running around his body. His voice was loud but the other people didn't even give him a look.
One of the beings smirked at him as he sarcastically said, "As hot-headed as usual aren't you, Zeus? Hahaha, Are you sexually frustrated due to not finding any hole to relieve yourself from your needs?" This made Zeus an angry roar which shook the building, "ODIN! DON'T CROSS THE LIMIT! If you want to fight, why don't we meet outside the perimeters!? I am not any random person who you can just make fun of! Hmuf! I don't think that you still remember the taste of my weapon. And at least I didn't have to sacrifice my body parts to connect with Root."
The being who Zeus called Odin was a young man unlike the usual image of Odin that is normally imagined as. He had white hair and one of his eyes was deep black in color while his other eye was covered by an eyepatch. He had buffed body covered in jet black armor with golden lines at the edges and runes were written all over his armor. Odin just kept his smirk as he replied, "Haha! I will be waiting for you outside the perimeter. I also think that your previous injuries didn't teach you a lesson. But before that, we should discuss what we should do with the current situation." Suddenly his aura became serious and heavy as he stared at Ainzus and asked, "Do you know that your actions will bring the imbalance in power. The whole verse will be plunged into chaos and Root will personally take action to bring Order back to the Verse."
{A/N: Perimeters refers to the edge of the Infiniteverse which comes in the control of Root. This part is always empty and so fighting between High-level beings doesn't damage the universes.}
Ainzus just signed in tiredness as he replied, "I know that my actions will bring a lot of Chaos and even father will have to take action but still I can't decide on what to do... If you have any suggestions, you can tell me."
One of the being present there, who was resting with his eyes closed while folding his arms in cross suddenly said, "I suggest killing all of them." The being had blue skin, had 3 pairs of arms, and had a closed third eye on his forehead. He gave off the air of domination and authority. Ainzus frowned at his suggestion and was about to argue but he was cut off by the being again as he opened one of his arms and a small being was seen trapped inside a barrier or in a transparent box on his arm.
The creature was humanoid but had spikes coming out of his skin. It had completed grey skin, had beastly features, and was trying to free himself from the clutches of the Being containing him. The creature continuously banged his body on the barrier containing it and every action continued to evolve its body and gain more strength. Every being present over there(except Ainzus) frowned and were having thought to kill the creature contained in the barrier.
Ainzus signed and he knew that the creature called Doomsday, was one of the parallel RYOs. This Ryo was directed reincarnated as Doomsday from DC verse and after destroying the complete DC Franchise, it quickly evolve that it had directly evolved itself to a very high level, almost reaching XXX-RANK right now. This was a big problem but thankfully, this Ryo was not able to understand any concept otherwise it would have become their own judgment day. Then his Evolution System also boosted his evolution by thousands of times.
Ainzus was a little conflicted as he really doesn't want to kill anyone but the circumstances is forcing him to take action as it might cause a lot of trouble for them. He said, "Shiva, do you have any suggestions other than directly killing all of them? I feel a little conflicted..." Shiva, as if expecting such results, firstly used his power to turn Doomsday completely into ashes, destroying even the atoms, mind, and soul alongside it. He then said, "I have a plan. Why don't we just let the main Ryo kill off all of his other parallels? This way we will not have to do any work and will help the main Ryo evolve faster." Ainzus quickly tried to protest, "NO! I don't agree with it. It's very cruel to let him kill all his other parallels! It's as if killing off your own brothers with your own hands."
Shiva didn't say anything and just went silent while closing his two eyes and folding his arms. On the other hand, Odin thought about it for some time and suggested, "How about killing all the potential cold-blooded or threatening evil RYOs while we reincarnate the normal ones to each other's universes and let himself decide whether they want to kill their parallels or let them go? I don't think that you will have to take action as long as the main one is not dead or is darkened..."
Zeus just scoffed and agreed, "I will have to agree with this suggestion. I don't want to live in the fear of creatures such as Doomsday roaming around us destroying our patrons. And I will also destroy the Marvel Verse from Hyperverses under my jurisdiction as it might also cause trouble for us." Shiva opened his mouth and also agreed, "I agree with you." He just said only this and went to silence again.
A kind voice suddenly said, "Sorry, I don't agree with you guys. I agree with Ainzus, I think that it's very cruel to let someone kill his parallel without him knowing. It's better if you impris--" The person who said that was a 3 meters tall male. He looked as if he was in his late teen. He had deep green eyes and silver hair with some blue strands at the top of some of his long hair which was reaching his shoulder. The most distinctive feature that he had was the silver wings on his back. He was giving off the same aura as Ainzus. He was Michael, the strongest angel ever been born and the manager of Heaven dimension.
When he was about to continue, a laugh disrupted his speech. The person who interrupted him was Lucifer, the lord of hell dimension. He was 5 meters tall humanoid figure covered in complete darkness. His facial features cannot be seen due to some unknown distortion. Lucifer laughed for some time and said, "Aren't you as kind as always, brother? To tell the truth, although I don't agree to kill almost all of the RYOs as many of them have the potential of becoming the bearers of Sins and can even become hell managers, I still have to vote and agree to the decision. Why? I think that he needs the motivation to become stronger. He is carefree thinking that he is free and no one can harm him... Also..." His playful aura suddenly changed into one filled with craziness as he smiled so much that his face almost split in half and said, "... I will warn you all that I will not tolerate anyone to harm him, who is destined to gain [Eternal Hell]. The Ryo from the main timeline is going to be my successor."
Almost all of the main gods frowned especially Shiva. Lucifer's open challenge to the authority and power among gods was not much tolerable but they kept silent as he was one of the Gods or it can be said that he was Dimensional Lord and everyone below him always follows his order and he had one of the strongest forces in the Infiniteverse. Although he is at the same power level as other Main gods, his army is not something to be looked down on. Lucifer stopped and his aura returned to his previous playful one and said, "And that too if he could survive and overcome all his hardship and reach Y-Rank. His previous Future self really disappointed me... To be so weak to let his body and soul to be taken away from..."
Michael looked conflicted about the decision and looked at Ainzus who also gave a wry smile. They both communicated with each other with their eyes but signed at the same time.
They all looked at Being with a falcon face and had small sun hanging behind his head as a halo. The being was Ra, one of the most important gods of the Egyptian pantheon. Ra said in a high-pitched voice, "Although I'm more inclined to kill every single one of them, I agree with the new suggestions." Few more prominent gods who represented their respective pantheon also agreed and the final decision was made. Ainzus was a little concerned but still decided to agree as he didn't care much about the other RYOs except the main one.

I don't know when I will release the next chapter.
IMPORTANT NOTE! Most of Ryo's adventure will be in the Hyperverses under the jurisdiction of the Norse, Greek, and Indian pantheon. I don't want to include other ones as I don't know much deeper details about them. I might make some mistakes and write something wrong, which I really want to avoid...
Ugh... I am very confused. Say, should I continue to release chapters one by one OR mass release them at the end of April?
Well, bye~ have a great day~
