Chapter 426: Traveling the Universe, Running into Nyaruko?!
...
Endless darkness, a vast sea of stars!
Seeing this scene, Seito knew immediately that he was now out in the depths of the universe!
"So the final twenty layers of the God Domain actually turned the entire universe into a battlefield."
Seito couldn't help but sigh.
The environment was so obvious that he'd have to be an idiot not to realize it.
Still... the brilliant, gorgeous galaxy, the colorful nebulas, and that beautiful yet deadly black hole.
It was truly beautiful~
Lost in thought, Seito felt his surroundings and realized the God-King Star Sector was right behind him! He pulled his power back and started to check his own strength. For Seito now, creating a world was just a thought away. Of course, that only applied to planets. He definitely couldn't create a whole universe yet—it was just too mysterious.
"How am I supposed to get information about this universe now?" Seito faced a new problem.
Getting info here would take a long time. There wasn't a single soul around. If he wanted answers, he'd have to travel and explore.
"Might as well go take a look."
He decided to go explore and gather intel. Without another word, he turned into a streak of light and flew off into the distance.
Two hours later...
During his travels through space, Seito saw plenty of planets and stars. But they were all dead worlds! Not a single one had life!
It made sense, though. The universe was so big; while there were life-bearing planets, they were vastly outnumbered by dead rocks. Stars were dying every second, and while new ones were born, there was no guarantee they'd be alive.
"Sigh, looks like no useful info here."
Seito sighed. Since everything was a dead star, he hadn't found a single living thing yet. He was ready to give up on staying in this sector.
Suddenly...!
Something shiny shimmered in front of Seito, catching his eye.
"What's that?"
Curious, Seito rushed over. He was a Main God now; he didn't need to fear danger. Even if a peak Main God showed up, he could escape if he wanted to!
Zip~!
In a flash, he appeared ahead and grabbed the shiny object. He opened his palm to check it out. It was a glowing orb, radiating multicolored light. It looked gorgeous. Seito could feel a strange energy coming from it.
"This is..."
Seito checked the info.
[Primordial Placenta: A special material used to nurture a core divine weapon.]
"???"
Seeing this, Seito was stunned. He quickly opened his status panel to check the upgrade requirements for his Space Set.
[Upgrade Requirements: None]
Does that mean it can't be upgraded anymore?
Seito was confused. He thought that reaching the Main God Realm would automatically let him upgrade his God-King gear, but it was way more complicated than he thought.
Just as Seito was thinking, a spaceship suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Seito paused and looked over.
"Ah!!! Damn it! My Primordial Placenta!"
Inside the cockpit, a girl with long silver hair, cute features, and a single hair sticking up on her head (an ahoge) was gritting her teeth. She stared with green eyes at the placenta in Seito's hand.
Seito looked at her, and his expression turned weird.
Isn't this... Nyaruko?!
Nyaruko was the heroine of Nyaruko: Crawling with Love! And in actual mythology, she was an "Outer God" of the Cthulhu mythos—Nyarlathotep! Seito never expected to run into Nyaruko the moment he entered space!
"Whoa~!"
Nyaruko noticed Seito, too. When she saw his white hair and blue eyes, her eyes lit up.
"Hey there, handsome~ My name is Nyarlathotep, but you can call me Nyaruko~"
Nyaruko put on a flirtatious look. She was even drooling a little. She hadn't seen a guy this good-looking in years.
"Hello, I'm Seito."
Seito's cheek twitched.
Good grief! It really is Nyaruko! Her personality is exactly the same!
"Since you got the Primordial Placenta, I guess I'll let it go," Nyaruko said generously, her hair-spike twitching.
"Uh..."
Seito casually tucked the item away and asked, "Nyaruko, can you tell me what the situation is like in this universe right now?"
"Eh?"
Nyaruko looked at him strangely. "You don't know?"
She had already sensed Seito's power—he was a Main God. A guy like that didn't know what was going on in the universe? Nyaruko was very confused.
"I don't."
Seito shook his head.
Hearing that, Nyaruko rested her chin in her hands and gave a flirty smile. "I could tell you, but what's in it for me?"
"A reward?"
Seito paused. It made sense she'd want a reward for answering his questions. But... what should he give her? Should he give her the Primordial Placenta?
No way! Seito wouldn't give that away to just anyone. Based on Nyaruko's reaction earlier, that thing was definitely a treasure! But if not that, what else? He had sensed her power—she was a Main God too! There didn't seem to be anything a Main God would want from him.
Seito thought for a moment. Then, an idea flashed! He looked at Nyaruko, teleported into her spaceship, and sat down next to her.
"I actually do have something you'd probably like."
As he spoke, Seito pulled out his phone.
"What is it?"
Nyaruko asked curiously.
Seito smiled but said nothing. He tapped a few times on his phone and hit play.
