《Superficial Story》Chapter 27 - Now, we are talking business here.
Advertisement
We’re back at the God Reunions hall.
And I have to say.
Things are a lot nicer being a God Emperor.
I have a new Skill, which is called [Transcendence] and it allows me to control Gods and their realms.
I can decide how much karma they can spend, if and how they can interact with each other, and even how extensive are their [Omniscience], [Omnipotence] and [Omnipresence] powers.
Under the pantheon rules, of course.
I also have a direct line to my Superior, which is the Inspector, and access to the other Universes into my Multiverse.
Amazingly they do not have gods in them.
It seems something happened. What was it?
[Answer]: God Emperor Louis kept his subordinates on different universes, each of them ruled by a single god. That changed once goddess Mia found the pantheon-mandatary portal to other universes within her own Universe. From there on, Mia started to migrate souls between her own universe and others, eventually increasing her own powers by achieving dominance under many demi-gods and infant gods who couldn’t resist her minion’s blessings. Goddess Mia rose to the post of King of Evil, and was thoroughly punished by the God Emperor, which noticed the need to control his gods from a closer distance.
However, goddess Mia had already created a great deal of psychological damage on most souls present on all universes - generating blockages to Louis’s name. Eventually God Emperor Louis saw himself unable to wake as his name was blocked from people’s beliefs through psychological trauma and fell into slumber while leaving only a single populated universe with only a few gods in it. This is the reason why there’s only a single universe in this multiverse.
Wait, I didn’t understand it well.
People said stuff about breeding God Emperors at the trials. And it seems like Louis should be able to control the soul’s traumas with his powers. What the hell is happening?

[Answer]: God Emperor Louis followed the instructions of Inspector Marcus on Rank Promotion within the pantheon. Once a god achieves enough merit, that is, level 999 or the loyalty of all other gods, it can then be promoted to God Emperor within the pantheon. A god, when promoted to God Emperor by achieving level 999, becomes entitled to its universe - while the God Emperor of the universe it came from is reimbursed with enough power to create two new universes and spawn two divine souls by itself. If the god is promoted to God Emperor by the sworn loyalty of all other gods, then the current God Emperor is displaced and a new universe is given to him, while the current multiverse is given to the God Emperor which has gotten loyalty from all other gods. Souls are an asset of the Fantasy Pantheon and are NOT property of the gods which command them. Souls may be tampered with, but once soul-integrity levels of trauma have been generated, the decaying soul will be put under protection of the pantheon and will become unable to be tampered with again until it recovers some of it’s integrity.
On another words, if I fuck up someone’s soul too bad, the soul can die. But then the pantheon would lose it, as the Essence would be given for free to all pantheons to call dibs on. So you guys won’t let me tamper with souls which are too frail. Is that it?
[Answer]: Correct.
He.
I’m more limited than I thought.
By the way, what about me creating new universes and dealing with the souls on them?
[Answer]: The God Emperor possesses the privilege of managing the input and output of new souls within it’s universes. To create a new universe, please refer to your Sacrifice Meter and the Level Mechanics. To input new souls, please file a “Soul Input Request” and send It to your Inspector for evaluation. To output useful souls to the Pantheon, please give the command following these instructions.

Okay, okay.
But why would I ask for soul input and output? What is the point?
[Answer]: Human souls and mortal souls in general are, by definition from above the Fantasy Pantheon’s power, free souls. The contact with other pantheons allows for them to roam free and choose which pantheon they decide to be on. A God Emperor’s duty is to secure that mortal souls, especially those of humans, evolve to a higher soul form. Once evolved, the soul becomes unable to travel between pantheons and is now a new asset of our fantasy pantheon.
He.
Just like what happened to me.
Then, I must make souls evolve. Just like how I did with my minions and stuff?
[Answer]: All of your current minions still possess human or mortal souls.
The fuck.
If that’s not evolving, what is?!
[Answer]: A soul evolution is the process by which a soul, by its own merit and power, stops being mortal and becomes something else. Many options are available. A list with all of them is being generated.
Let’s see…
Enlightened, Heroes, Sages, Great Sages, Pure Ones, Encantados…..
The fuck.
Those aren’t human anymore?
[Answer]: Correct. They have also become something not-mortal.
He.
Demons can have both human or inhuman souls.
It seems my minions are the kind which has human souls.
~~Aaaahhh~~~
Have I just accepted a lot of unpaid work?
[Answer]: Work within the pantheon is always rewarded.
Really? How?
[Answer]: God Emperors have the duty to manage the gods under his rule, regulate the input and output of souls, accept or deny the promotion of lower gods to the rank of God Emperor within the Pantheon and exert divine justice between gods within his multiverse. His rewards are as follows.
I get payment in Energy from sacrifices and Levels from getting souls to ascend beyond humanhood according to the needs of the pantheon.
On another words, if the pantheon needs heroes more than demon kings, then I will get more energy and levels by creating heroes and then giving them to the pantheon than by creating demon kings.
The same for everything else.
I wonder what are those used for?
[Answer]: All evolved souls become assets of the pantheon. Further disclosure of information requires higher ranking within the pantheon.
Right.
And how do I get higher ranking than God Emperor?
[Answer]: God Emperors can be promoted to Inspectors once they reach level 9999.
Shit.
So Louis was a noob?
[Answer]: God Emperor Louis was considered to be a fast-learning god and had the use of an unlawful level-gaining system to gain levels faster. His skills, however, where indeed lacking on many points when compared to other beings of the same age.
So, a total noob which uses exploits.
NOOB!
I bet that guy Marhlick is like, a pro-player. He’s a Writer already. Is he?
[Answer]: Writer Marhlick is considered one of the best assets of the fantasy pantheon.
I could learn a thing or two for him.
Well, whatever.
First of all, I still need more levels.
Creating a new universe before being level 999 will be impossible.
I mean, I have 42 of them already -one which is Marhlick’s now-, but they are fucking expensive.
By the way, which are my stats?
[Answer]: ; ; ; ; .
Shit.
I got a lot of bad karma recently. Why is that?
[Answer]: All left-over energy and karma from God Emperor’s Louis reign has been given to you.
He.
Fuck that racist bastard.
I hope I can use it to build a nice Realm.
Meh.
I will care about Realms later.
The guys have awaited enough for me to greet them.
As my new subordinates, that is.

Indomitable Marvel
-This is a wish-fulfillment story that is in the MCU universe and will follow the MCU in my own way. The goal is to blend my story in and around the MCU. -It will be a while, a very long while before I get to the actual MCU storyline. -The story may seem a bit slow depending on what you're after. -Updates will be slow. -He does not start op. -Be warned I'm a below-average writer, I need to work on my details and wording, and probably everything else. Expect quality fluctuations. -((( Useful feedback is much appreciated. ))) -This will have a harem since my last story didn't have one. --Expect badly written lemon scenes. They will be marked for an easy skip for those who don't want to read it. If you can handle all that, then welcome aboard. -The Asgardian Theoric is about to get a second chance. [[[ https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Theoric_(Earth-616) ]]] -The story starts before the MCU where he will grow his abilities on his way to becoming indomitable. -1st volume: Prologue -2nd volume: Troll War - (ch.12-59)-3rd volume: Hidden Forces - (ch. 60-???)-4th volume: Olympians-5th volume: Mutants-6th volume: MCU-7th volume: Darkness???-8th volume: ??? ___________________________________To help answer some questions people might have. - No beast companions and as of right now no plans for beast companions. (But then again Hela does have Fenris...)- No kingdom-building,- The beginning of the story puts a lot of people off because I didn't go the normal route people would like, and they don't tend to like the troll arc.- He also starts a little rash and seems a little weak because his powers easily drain him, some of this is explained later though and fixed by Gaea, but many miss this and only concentrate on the fact that he isn't being and doing what they think he should.- I should also explain that he has some memories that were locked away and then deleted because of his rashness. This was simply a way to end the whole locked memory thing, the Acanti soul was a plot point to give him future memories of the MCU, beyond that it served no more purpose so I got rid of all the other useless knowledge, He was in no way nerfed as some would like to believe.- I made him a little more emotional then I would like at the beginning, it was my attempt at trying to give him a personality after being criticized for the lack thereof in my last story. - Ruthless? I don't think so, I'm going more the route of a fair Mc. He'll do more of an eye for an eye type stuff, gender does not matter to him when it comes to this.- While the harem isn't the end all be all goal, it's true that he's going around getting women.- I do have a story beyond the harem though and will not focus too heavily on the harem beyond the obvious. Mostly he just goes around sleeping with them and beyond that is anyone's guess whether they stick around or not, I do try and make it feel a little more real, but it is a harem. ___________________________________ -I have also posted this story on Royal Road and Wattpad.
