Chapter 191 - Devouring Yog-Sothoth. Gacha

"Come on, send this 'me' off."

Adam said casually to Yog-Sothoth as he waved at 'himself' dismissively

"Right"

With a wave of her hands, space twisted and trembled- no, rather, this place twisted and trembled.

The concept of space took form, and in that instant, it was molded and folded into a portal that connected with the space of the material universe of GGZ.

That's right- a cosmic portal with purple hues appeared behind his second body. It is see-through, the scene inside it mirroring a beach with reddish waves.

"Goodbye, fellas." 'Adam' crossed his hands in front of his chest in an 'X' shape. "For my gf, I shall extinguish the stars! This Will shall pee in its pants!"

With that, 'he' did an exaggerated backflip. He perfectly ended up positioning himself to go inside the portal with his legs first.

"...."

Silence prevailed in this space of existence as his second body left.

He can still feel a connection to it, and he can still control it just like he controls his own body. 

Truly, [Degenerate]+[Great Sage]'s awesome magic+Yog's power can make miracles.

"Now what?"

Adam turned to face the Outer God of wisdom.

Her white hair freely flowed down until her upper back, and her bewitching purple eyes, which were amusingly watching his other 'self,' focused back on him.

"Now…"

She slowly rose up, stepping on cosmic nothingness with her bare stockinged feet. 

"Devour me. Put me inside you."

Yog-Sothoth's lips curled upwards, her hands intertwining behind her back as she uttered these simple words with an easygoing and casual expression.

"Er…"

The silver-haired boy looked at her with a weird expression.

"I'll give you this clone to put in your stomach. This me has none of my strength and omniscience." 

Ignoring his weird expression, the white-haired girl gestured to herself, slapping her taut belly to emphasize this body even more.

"This me only has one ability:" She put her hands on her hips, "Clairvoyance. In this body, I can only see the present, and not the future or past. This shall make everything so interesting for me!"

The Eldritch girl jumped on her toes twice like an overexcited puppy, purple eyes shining in anticipation.

"...."

"Ah, don't worry. I specially made this one so that you could feel at ease putting this 'me' inside you." The Outer God touched her chin with her index finger cutely. "I will also give you a special 'switch' that can instantly kill that 'me'."

"....Is that really necessary?"

Adam's eyebrows twitched. He wonders if she's going too far?

-Not that he is complaining, of course. This 'girl' is thinking of him. How could he say anything?

"Eh, who told me to be so understanding and easy-going?"

Yog-Sothoth shrugged nonchalantly, as if 100% sure that he'd never actually activate this 'kill switch'.

And she'd be right. 

"That's right, Yog-chan is the cutest in the world!" 

Adam nodded with sincerity, dramatically putting his hands on his hips.

Theresa is the cutest in the world? Sorry, that legal loli can't compare to the Eldritch loli right in front of him!

 "Really, though, thanks. If only all Eldritch beings I meet are like you….Haah."

He suddenly sighed, feeling disappointment at the awareness that his expectations are too naive.

An actual Eldritch being- one of the strongest ones, no less- is nice to him and relatively 'normal'. Adam felt very good about this.

A being that can instantly annihilate him with a thought actually tried to communicate with him and helped him, only requesting to watch his adventures.

That's so good- in fact, it's so good that it can definitely be called 'too good to be true'. But it doesn't matter. This is reality, and reality can be illogical. 

A good thing can purely be a good thing in reality. There's no reason or explanation needed. 

"You're so likeable. Hey, can I court you?" Adam smiled, his blue eyes scanning her suspiciously very petite form, "...'Overpowered Eldritch abomination and her veiled unknown boyfriend'. That sounds like a title of a light novel, but how about we make it a reality?"

"Sounds interesting." Her smile mirrored his, eyes curving in happiness. "Permission granted."

Why would she refuse a potential unknown?

It's true what he said- romance with an unknown will bring more unknown in her life! 

"Nice. I'm very happy right now."

Adam extended his hand, his smile widening.

"I am, too."

As a purplish black vortex extended slowly from his hand, Yog-Sothoth gave a dramatic bow.

"I have sealed my sense- limiting it to only you and the things around you." 

As the black vortex approached her, the Eldritch girl got even happier.

"Please take care of me and let me witness extraordinary things unknown to even me~"

With those words, the devouring vortex embraced Yog-chan and put her inside the void that is his stomach.

Adam now stands alone in this chaotic place where time and space cease to exist.

He inhaled deeply-

"Yahooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!"

He let out a loud shout, spreading his hands outwards dramatically.

"Finally, I'm done with this god-forsaken place!"

While it was only a day- 6 hours at most- to him, it felt like months!

Now, all alone, he can relax a bit- at least before he plunges right back into action with the depressive magical girl anime.

Well….he isn't exactly alone….It's only semi-alone.

[.....]

'Why am I being so tolerable?- I can hear you asking, Great Sage.'

Why is he being so tolerable towards a being that only wants to watch him out of amusement? Why does he feel no anger towards the fact that a final level boss interrupted his journey and is basically strong-arming him into accepting her as a spectator?

It's because Adam isn't retarded, that is why.

Who would hate an overpowered 'cute girl' that went out of her way to greet you, help you, and protect you?

Yog-Sothoth is being mighty reasonable right now. Beyond the GGZ knowledge of her and her current state of being a cute girl in both body and mind, there's actually another, more important reason-

'I need a sugar mommy!'

[???]

-It is that simple.

He needs a protector, a strong backer.

It's not only to save GGZ Kiana with confidence, but also…To be able to visit the Marvel world without any fear.

With Yog-Sothoth as a backer, no super overpowered being in any verse will dare make a move on him rashly.

Marvel is a world with plenty of opportunities and resources to grow stronger. Even if the Phoenix Force on Jean agrees to protect him- it's not enough!

Yet with one of the stronger Outer Gods by his side, Adam can let go and run wild!

..

.

"Oh, right."

Adam's hand froze that was about to click 'Visit World' froze in the air.

"Stupid me, I forgot about the Gacha!"

The silver-haired boy, in this lonely dark space, slapped his forehead loudly.

What do you do when you're about to go somewhere dangerous? Why, you roll the gacha and hope to obtain something useful, of course!

"The Coven of Wisdom, the dwelling place of Yog-Sothoth, the timeless and spaceless void…" The transmigrator clasped his hands together in prayer. "Bless me with omniversal luck!"

With no further delay, the silver-haired boy smashed his hand towards the Gacha feature.

[Spell book(Black Cover)

- A book containing the secrets of Darkness Magic from the Clover Kingdom, allowing those who study it to learn and utilize the spells it contains.]

A dark, gloomy-looking book appeared in his hands.

"....Sure?"

Flipping through the newly acquired dark book, his expression turned thoughtful

It was…certainly interesting. 

However, it was just that- interesting. The spells were nice for reference. But to the current him, they weren't particularly useful.

Instantly devoured-

[Done]

And [Great Sage] instantly analysed it and sent all the information straight to his brain.

"Lovely. I like you very much, Great Sage-san."

He smiled yet again, blue eyes sparkling.

[.....]

"....You're right, this wasn't a good Rimuru impression."

Adam sighed in disappointment.

No, Great Sage didn't speak. And her emotions….well, they were vague, weak, and newly born. But he could feel them; thus, he could form a vague response to his acts from her.

"Continue!"

[Demon King 

-You are the destined Demon King, all Darkness and Unholy-related abilities and magic are greatly enhanced alongside your physical abilities. This effect is increased if your race is demonic or infernal. You greatly resist all darkness and unholy attributes. Demonic/Infernal beings are more servile to you, and it is easier to assert your authority over them and receive their obedience. Weaker ones are compelled to serve you. Whenever a creature submits to your rule or to you personally, you get slightly stronger depending on their level of power.]

"Jackpot!"

He pumped his fist, a grin appearing on his face as he felt changes taking place deep within himself.

Even though most of the effects of this gacha thing were meh, it was still jackpot!

That final effect is what makes this roll gold tier! 

As long as he makes people submit to him, he will get stronger! Isn't this overpowered?

What if he makes the whole of humanity, a whopping 8 billion people, submit to him? Even though humans are weak, meat is still meat. Not to mention, even if each increases his power very, very, very little….The quantity of them is simply staggering!

Demonic and infernal beings being easier to dominate is also very good. After all, if he goes to a world with such beings, he can easily make most submit to his power.

For example, DxD. If he goes to Rias world, undoubtedly, he'll become very strong. Most devils are weak…at least compared to him.

They are weak relative to him, but also strong relative to normal people. The power he'll get from dominating them is far more, even though their population is small.

"Hehehehehehehe…."

Imagining such a beautiful future, Adam couldn't help but burst out laughing maniacally.

[Analysis complete. Process and changes made by this 'roll' have been analysed, understood, and catalogued. Future iterations are possible.]

"Cough…"

Though his dear Partner's report is like music to his ears, Adam still coughed to stop laughing-

He still tries so- even when he wants to laugh even more now.

"Good." Adam patted his chest. "Hey, Great Sage, I really want to love bomb you right now."

He grinned yet again.

-Because what this partner of his just did is amazing!

Now he can easily copy the changes made by this 'roll', and repeat its effects- meaning, if he wants to, he can share this effect with others.

Perhaps….With a bit of development, he can design it so that he can choose someone he cares about, designate her as a 'ruler' too, and give her the same boost in power from all his submitted beings?

This reminds him a bit of Rimuru's skill, but it's not exactly the same.

If a whole bunch of beings submit to him and empower him, he'll also be able to share this empowerment by adding this 'trait' into a person and then-

[By utilizing 'Contract', this is possible]

-Wait, right! If he shares this power with someone he made that 'Lover contract' with, then she'll also benefit from the same power boost of the submitted beings since they'll be considered 'one'. 

Soulbound lovers. Since they're 'one', any being that submits to him will naturally be considered to be submitting to his contracted lover too, and vice versa!

"....Genius!"

Adam clapped, containing his bubbling excitement at finding a loophole that could powerlevel both him and his 'wives' so easily.

"Great Sage, perfect this technique as much as you can with some of your processing power."

[Affirmative. It won't take long]

"Good. Well then, I'll continue."

Since she will take care of it, Adam has no qualms and will continue to roll:

[Son of Death(League of Legends)

-When the user terminates a life, the soul is bound to the user for a short amount of time until it disperses. After that, the user can gain a small amount of soul energy to strengthen their own soul]

"Oh…?"

Feeling something extra taking shape in his soul, the silver-haired boy closed one eye as the remaining open one turned golden.

[Analysed and recorded. Implanting Gluttony into this 'Son of Death' matrix to enable 100% absorption.]

"Would you look at that?"

Another way to powerlevel- this time, it's the soul. And because of [Great Sage] and [Gluttony] cheats, that 'small amount of soul energy' has become 'full amount of soul energy'.

Strengthening the soul…The moment he goes to Tensura, he'll go on a unique and ultimate skill collection run!

"Finding a world with many beings to kill and dominate and bringing Kiana, Mei, Bronya, Rimuru, Rias, Shiraori, and Monika sounds all the more appealing…."

Excitement bloomed in his chest at that- But the scene of all these people meeting each other makes him even more excited.

[Full Counter(Nanatsu no Taizai)

- If used with precise timing, the user can counter any attack thrown at them and throw it back with double the power.]

"...." 

Adam's eyebrows twitched as he stared at his recent draw.

"How cliche."

Shaking his head, he shrugged. Despite being cliché, it's a pretty good one- so long as the attack wasn't overwhelming.

[Charming Eyes

Not to be confused with the mystical eyes of charming, instead of hypnotizing people, your eyes are just really pretty.]

"Errr….."

This time, his eye twitched- and not because a minor change occurred in it.

He extended his hand, a bluish, icy mirror manifesting immediately

"Woah…"

A sound of wonder escaped him as pure cosmic blue eyes more brilliant than the cosmos and more beautiful than jewels stared back at him.

At this moment, he has to admit: Even he himself has been entranced by his own eyes!

Adam closed his eyes, letting the mirror in his hand crack, shatter, and disintegrate.

"This can be considered a useless roll, but honestly, I still like it."

At least it's far better than a 'Thank you for your patronage' or…just a bottle of cola.

However, he isn't narcissistic enough to stare at his own eyes and admire them for a prolonged amount of time-

[Costume Wardrobe

A regular-looking closet containing an infinite amount of clothes ranging from lingerie, formal wear, cosplay etc. As long as the clothes are completely mundane, you can pull any clothing weighing less than 5kg from it, and the clothes that will come out will be according to the desires of whoever reaches inside. Only 50 outfits can be taken out per day.]

Instantly, it spawned in the void. And the next moment, a vortex that revealed the user's impatience swallowed it up

"Hehe…I know what I'll use this for."

Adam rubbed his hands, an almost perverted giggle escaping him. He has already imagined how he'll convince Olivia and Mei to use this item to bring lots of fun in the bedroom.

Anyone who says that this thing is useless is clearly maidenless!

Though he'll first need Great Sage to analyse it to get rid of this 50 a day limit….

[Robin's Microphone(Honkai: Star Rail)

A particular microphone used by a famous idol. It holds traces of harmony and can enhance your voice and allow you to channel your emotions through it]

"....?"

Adam's expression turned weird as he looked at the microphone in his hand that sparkled occasionally.

He can feel a warm force that seems to accept anything and everything from it…However, that is all.

Is he expected to sing with this? Is he supposed to soothe witches' hearts with his voice and turn them back into normal magical girls?

[....This goal is not entirely impossible.]

"Oh. Then, I'll leave it to you."

Adam's lips twitched, but he didn't feel that surprised anymore.

"Oh, by the way." The silver-haired boy frowned. "With all that stuff, are you okay? Analyzing so much isn't overwhelming you, right?"

[Negative.]

"Right, that was a stupid question." He tapped his forehead lightly. "As expected of my partner!"

[(⸝⸝๑_๑⸝⸝)]

….

"Little me, do good absorbing some soul energy of those who perish." He sighed suddenly. "I'd love to have absorbed all, but with reincarnation existing in GGZ, that is kinda unethical."

That's right, his other body will start absorbing soul energy from those who die in the world of GGZ. And since he can 'borrow' some of Yog-Sothoth's property of omnipresence, range isn't an issue with this skill.

Perhaps one time in the future, when he fuses back that soul fragment, it'll dramatically strengthen and empower his own soul….

The silver-haired boy turned around, taking a long, last look at Yog's realm of wisdom that is now empty.

"Farewell, world!"

With a light tap of his finger, bright golden light flashed, and he completely disappeared from this hellish world.

A/N:

By the way, 5 of these were rolled through an actual gacha- I didn't manually put them in.

I also wanted this chapter to finish with Adam going to Madoka Magica. But we haven't done Gacha in a while- and he'll need it.

For this almost 3000-word chapter, leave some stones guys!
