"Again, Blue Star?"
Kei Yamanaka activated [Soaring Through All Heavens], tearing open a crack in the nearest World Portal.
Looking at the familiar blue star before him, identical to those he had seen in the Superman Realm and Marvel Realm, he briefly sensed the energy level of this minor thousand-realm using dark energy before quickly retrieving information about the planet.
It was an extremely ordinary everyday world, lacking any special power framework.
Hmm... seemed genuinely mundane?
A massive data stream swiftly passed through his vision.
When he unexpectedly came across the name "Akihiko Kayaba" and discovered that the man had just completed initial development on a game, preparing to begin closed beta testing...
Realization finally dawned in Kei Yamanaka's eyes.
This was the world of Sword Art Online, home of Kirito and Asuna (often called "Old Man Kirito" by fans)!
After estimating this world's scale,
Kei Yamanaka scratched his cheek slightly, thinking "Now That You're Here" anyway,
And directly descended as a visible god worldwide within this realm, announcing the opening of the World Portal. The specific location had been selected over international waters, welcoming people from this world to come explore.
As countless individuals fell into states of panic, surprise, confusion, and bewilderment,
Kei Yamanaka, having finished setting up the World Portal, noticed Eternal Divine Kingdom had once again produced a complete Jambudvipa Fruit, immediately returning to the Marvel Realm to resume tearing open another nearby World Portal!
Just halfway through opening it,
He couldn't help pausing slightly.
Sword Art Online... Aincrad... A Hundred Floors?
In the Sword Art Online universe, game designer Akihiko Kayaba realized his dream by constructing a floating fortress in the sky, creating a revolutionary full-dive virtual reality game.
During its first public test, he trapped ten thousand players inside using specially designed helmets that threatened real-life death unless they cleared the game.
What good were virtual games or full-dive simulations to Kei Yamanaka?
Even the most sophisticated virtual constructs couldn't compare with [Colosseum of the Gods].
But the nine heavenly layers of the Eternal Divine Kingdom required management and promotion systems.
A standardized economic system for inter-realm communication and trade was also necessary!
"Quantum Engine, use Sword Art Online as foundation to establish 'Personal Information Panels' for everyone entering Eternal Origin Divine Kingdom. Set up energy resource exchange centers and define 'energy points' as currency..."
Kei Yamanaka's mind raced while rapidly issuing commands to Quantum Engine.
Supported by the skill listing [Galaxy Devourer], his Eternal Origin Divine Kingdom could absorb virtually all forms of energy.
After deducting one tenth as a 'transaction fee', these absorbed energies would be converted into numerical values serving as trading currency within Eternal Divine Kingdom.
Essentially, this was just strings of numbers on personal panels during world overclock computations!
He wasn't on the gold standard or the silver standard—he was on the 'world' standard!
As long as he didn't perish, this financial system wouldn't collapse.
And massive influxes of energy from various realms would be used to further enhance the Eternal Divine Kingdom!
The Nine Heavens!
As long as challenges akin to those in Aincrad from Sword Art Online are placed between each tier of Heaven,
In time,
advanced "players" will naturally progress to higher-tier zones, while people of different power levels will remain at lower tiers.
As the Quantum Engine begins to activate,
within the Eternal Origin Divine Kingdom,
vast waves of conceptual force and radiant arcs of multicolored world-essence begin to gather and surge above the lowest tier of the Nine Heavens.
A floating island with no fewer than ninety-nine layers solidifies into existence within mere minutes.
Likewise,
the exterior style remains completely identical—the only difference being their scale—as 'energy resource exchange points' also appear within the Nine Heavens and various Jambudvipa Fruits.
Everyone who enters the Eternal Divine Kingdom sees a virtual interface appear before them,
clearly listing how to use the Personal Panel, how to utilize energy-value currency, how to ascend to higher levels of the Nine Heavens,
and the initial edition of the Eternal Divine Kingdom's laws.
"Tch—no combat in safe zones? Want a fight? Go to the death arena? Seriously, is this targeting me again?"
Cooler in her windbreaker ensemble, Liang Bing silently drops her original plan to rob someone blind.
Glancing at the energy exchange point marked on the 'map,' and then at her own panel where a glaring 'Zero' appears after her energy value count, she waves dismissively at Atuo, who remains expressionless.
"Demon Unit One still has some stellar energy stored. Let's convert it into cash and buy some magic from Kamar-Taj."
"Yes, Your Majesty,"
Atuo bows respectfully, then turns and heads toward the energy exchange point with several demon subordinates trailing behind.
"Sniff sniff~ Queen, I can sense Lord God-King's presence... and... hmm, it smells like rosemary."
Shi Yi flares her nostrils slightly.
Her gaze shifts toward Tsunade and Kushina—including the onee-san—who are wandering around the resort area accompanied by a large group of stunning beauties.
"Damn! Two Sacred Bodies! That bastard isn't even afraid of dying on women's bellies!"
Liang Bing immediately judges both to be far stronger than herself!
Especially that subtle aura faintly linked to the entire world—
they must be getting boosted by that so-called 'dimension-overclocking computer' Kei Yamanaka mentioned!
Combined with their scents...
Wasn't this clear evidence they were Kei Yamanaka's women?
And all those girls following behind...
Liang Bing's eyes briefly glow white, using her Omniscient Analytical Vision to quickly read data on the seemingly ordinary shrine maidens—whose power was barely enough to handle regular demons.
Shrine maidens? Divine attendants?
Damn! These two are insane—star-destroyers!
Wait, no, not the time to marvel at that. These shrine maiden types are clearly part of his harem!
That lecherous bastard, Kei Yamanaka—I'm glad I kept my distance back then!
"Hmm?"
Kaguya Otsutsuki suddenly senses a feeling of being watched and turns toward where Liang Bing and others are standing.
Noticing the striking beauty of Liang Bing and Shi Yi, Kaguya's eyes flicker with curiosity—but spotting the grotesque demons behind them, she instinctively frowns.
"Onee-san Tsunade, they're stunning!"
Let me check... A demon? Liang Bing, Shi Yi? Are they Kei's subordinates?
Kushina had also noticed Liang Bing and Shi Yi.
...You don't seriously think that bastard's been sneaking around with someone on the side, do you?
"Huh? Well, now that you mention it... Maybe! Should we go ask them?"
Forget it. She's still—well, not exactly young anymore—but she's still a maiden at heart.
Tsunade had also retrieved data on Liang Bing and the others from the Realm Acceleration System.
When she saw their age records exceeding thirty thousand years, the words "young girl" that almost escaped her lips simply wouldn't come out.
A thirty-thousand-year-old virgin...
How unusual!
???
Liang Bing sensed deliberately leaked dark energy information. She peeked curiously but was barely holding back tears.
Okay, so thirty thousand years is pretty old, but what's wrong with staying pure?
Is there anything wrong with that!
He's obviously teasing me!
Intentional humiliation?
Or suggesting I should make a move on that bastard Kei Yamanaka?
[Challenging the Nine Heavens – Lowest Tier]
After reading all the information, Hikaku Uchiha looked toward the ninety-nine floating islands overhead and tugged Tsunade's sleeve slightly.
Been ages since I got any real action.
Upon hearing Hikaku Uchiha's words, Tsunade similarly raised her eyes toward those heavenly islands.
Kushina gave a nod toward the visibly annoyed Liang Bing before following her gaze skyward.
Wanna give it a try?
We've got nothing to lose—we're not gonna die, after all. Might as well give it a shot together.
Seeing everyone seemed interested in going there, Tsunade glanced at her own panel, particularly the 'Energy Value' field, which displayed a string of 9s.
She gave a slight nod to the Hikaku Uchiha beside her.
A massive Susanoo appeared, enveloping everyone within it.
More than two hundred shrine maidens, plus Tsunade, Kushina, and the rest, soared straight into the sky!
...Now *that's* a slap in the face!
Liang Bing watched with sweat marks on her forehead as over two hundred people disappeared into the Tower to Heaven.
Earlier, she hadn't detected any energy value exchanges among those relatively weak shrine maidens. Plus, that supposed energy exchange platform had only just appeared.
There's no doubt—Kei Yamanaka must've tweaked the backend data for his women!
First he mocks me about being a thirty-thousand-year-old maiden, then shows off special treatment.
Even if I get pounded to death by Kesha, I will absolutely, *absolutely* never cave in to that bastard!
Drop it already!
"Your Majesty, more than two hundred people. I saw Lord God King seemed to have only two genuine..."
Shi Yi pursed her lips, cautiously glancing at her Queen.
Shut up!
"Just a moment ago there were five realms, now six—and now look! The seventh one's already appearing!"
