Divine Harem: My Sect of Heavenly Beauties

244  Outer Gods

After such a depressing scene, Shen Yu was very happy to receive such news. By assimilating with the Mist of Nothing, Nancy wouldn't only become more powerful, but would also be able to accompany him.

He didn't doubt his wives, but still, Nancy was someone who knew him through and through, so she held a special place. He smiled and said.

"Don't worry. You will have me with you. You will always have."

[Hehe! Also, because of this Assimilation, I have transcended and broken free from the System's influence. I can give you more information now since my connection is directly with your mother and you.]

"You're really throwing all this good news at me, huh."

Shen Yu chuckled, as he threw the cigarette aside. He knew Nancy was mainly doing this to cheer him, and it was working. He was glad he had someone like her.

[Praise me more, Mortal.]

"I will praise your butt. Anyway, when are you going to meet others?"

[You can have your sweet time with them first. I'm sure they need it after watching everything.]

Shen Yu hummed and looked back at his wives, who were still trapped in the illusion and watching his life flashing through their eyes.

He shook his head and asked, turning back.

"So, can you tell me about you now?"

[Sort of. I can't because, even though I am independent because of the Mist of Nothing, he can still sense me if I talk more than I should. It will create unnecessary problems for your mother, so I'm sorry.]

"No worries. Just tell me if you're in danger. I can't do much but at least I can give moral support."

Shen Yu chuckled.

[Hehe, that's more than enough. Anyway, I was a system as you know. Now, don't ask what systems are, as the only thing I can tell you is that they're made by a certain Outer God using the Primordial Mudra Fragments. That's why the systems are so powerful to even have an Omniverse under them.]

"But you're bound to him?"

[Yeah, and have to follow certain rules. I was one of the Earliest ones so I have more power and freedom. But there are systems who can't even communicate properly.]

"Those stats panel alone one?"

[Yes, they're new ones who are more like a program set out to learn. Sort of like early AI in your old world.]

"That's really interesting. I remember reading novels having similar concepts."

[Because many systems do interact with everyone. Most of the time, they erase the memories, but the rest are still affected by the old memories. That's how the Authors get those crazy ideas. It's all because of systems.]

"Damn!"

[Surprised? Well, there are also some bizarre ones. Like that Wife Doting System, it's a modified one but a very powerful one. It's probably close to me since it can give rewards containing anything to its host.]

Shen Yu raised an eyebrow and asked, noticing something.

"Modified?"

[Yes, if the Host gets powerful enough, they can affect and even modify the system as long as it doesn't break the rules. The old Host of that system did the same and gave it another host.]

"I see. What is your purpose though? Did that Outer God just make you for fun?"

[We don't know actually. Outer Gods are too powerful and beyond comprehension. Even with my Primordial Origin, I can't understand a fraction of them. So, it's best to avoid them as long as possible.]

Shen Yu hummed and changed the topic since Nancy didn't seem to want to talk about it.

"What about my Bad Luck in last life?"

[It's related to your mother and before you blame her, it wasn't her fault. It would be best if you listen to this from her, as I don't want to be targeted by an Outer God.]

"It's fine! You don't need to worry."

Shen Yu waved his hand and said.

[Well, your mother is one of the strongest there so you don't need to worry. Things are just a little complicated so she can't come. But everything will be okay soon.]

"Soon?"

[Well, in their terms soon, so maybe a few decades or maybe a few millennia.]

Shen Yu laughed at that, as he knew Outer Gods were outside of space and time. They had practically transcended reality, and the only reason they could have this talk was because of his mother.

They both carried the Mist of Nothing, a symbol of one of the strongest Outer Gods, so they were safe. If they even tried to tell anyone else about Outer Gods, the outcome would surely be worse.

Shen Yu continued to talk with Nancy for some time, with sometimes him asking questions and her answering, otherwise off-topic chat with no head and tails.

After a while, Shen Yu stopped, as he knew the illusion had collapsed after showing everything to his wives. It covered from his birth as Rick Conway to him waking up as Shen Yu and living his life.

Of course, he left everything about the Outer Gods and his mother as he didn't want anything to happen to them.

'Here goes nothing.'

Shen Yu exhaled, as he calmed down and then turned around. Did he expect anything? Not really. After everything they had been through, he knew his wives wouldn't betray him. He just wanted to see their reaction.

In the next moment, he was tackled by a black-haired figure, followed by a red-haired one who directly took his face in her bosom. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Things didn't end there as he was tackled by everyone and brought down on his back, as everyone tried to hug him but failed due to his posture.

Feeling overwhelmed, Shen Yu teleported all of them back near the lake, as they appeared on the chairs. Before any of them could do anything, Shen Yu raised his hand and said.

"Calm down. What... happened..."

The sight before him left him baffled and dumbfounded. For a second, he couldn't even react, but then a tear rolled down his cheeks.
