NOVEL NEXT Chapter 170: The Power Enough To Defeat Terra's Outer God
After Linsley obtained the SSS-rank Annihilation gift, he waved his hand, and the couch in his hotel room was destroyed to nothingness. Not even the elementary particles were left; everything was completely annihilated.
In other words, with this SSS-rank gift, Linsley could completely annihilate stars and even an entire galaxy without leaving any remains, as even dust wouldn't be left.
Linsley could also feel that this gift extended not only to physical objects but also to souls and anything conceptual, such as memory and luck, as long as he controlled his annihilation to include those within his scope of "annihilation."
On the other hand, after obtaining the Universal Key (Gold) talent, it didn't bring any changes to his power directly, as it only granted him the ability to unlock any conceptual seals. But that alone was powerful in its own right, as he could unlock seals capable of restricting or sealing even a Great God.
No matter how powerful the Outer God was, he was now nothing more than an ant after Linsley obtained his Level 9.9 Overlord power.
As for the Sinclair Order Island artifact, it appeared in his system storage in the form of a miniature island stored inside a glass globe.
As long as he wanted to, he could release it from the glass globe, which would cause the Sinclair Order Island to appear wherever he wanted. If he wished, he could add more rules and make it appear as a floating island or even place it in outer space.
Given enough time, he could also increase its size to that of a galaxy. And to make it even more convenient, he could create another dimension layered onto the existing one using his Real Fantasy gift, allowing the Sinclair Order's territory to be stored there.
Not only would this setup save space within the existing galaxy, but it would also allow easier access to the Sinclair Order for believers.
"With my current power, I should be able to walk sideways across the entire galaxy with almost no one stronger than me. Unless this galaxy is far stronger than I expected, but even then, I doubt this galaxy holds any existences stronger than Type 4: Tier 5."
Unless the galaxy was larger than he expected, it was unlikely to accommodate existences stronger than Type 4: Tier 5.
After all, just as Linsley would have to go to simulation worlds with far stronger power levels as he completed a simulation world, other existences would also need to ascend to a "higher realm" to obtain greater power.
Weak galaxies would contain weak resources. If a Great God wanted to advance to a Median Great God, they would have to seek out stronger galaxies with richer resources and a higher power level cap.
Most existences weren't like Outer Gods, who could easily grow stronger by devouring world origin. They would have to rely on rich resources and a higher power level limit to advance.
Because of that, Linsley wasn't worried that the galaxy he was in was filled with existences above Great God. As a self-proclaimed invincible existence within his level, Linsley was confident that no Great Gods or Type 4: Tier 5 Outer Gods would pose any threat to him.
"If I'm not mistaken, the coordinates of the Avatar World seem to be located in a distant galaxy, but still within the same universe as the galaxy that Terra is in."
"In other words, as long as I can eliminate the Outer God and expand Terra into an interstellar force, I can let Seraphina and Evangeline accompany me as the three of us travel the galaxy—not only to spread the influence of the Sinclair Pantheon but also to have our honeymoons."
"Although Evangeline is aware of my love affair with Seraphina, the same can't be said for Seraphina. However, I've already hinted at my plans to have other wives, and so far, Seraphina hasn't been too against it."
"Anyway, I'm not asking for the two of them to become sisters or maintain a perfect relationship. As long as my wives don't fight or hate each other, I'm not asking too much in letting them set aside their differences."
Compared to his love affairs, Linsley was more concerned about the Outer God Race, as the Outer Gods he had encountered so far were merely cannon fodder.
In other words, there were Outer Gods far stronger than the one in Terra, like the Outer God in the Diviner World's universe.
From what the system revealed, Linsley could already deduce that the Diviner World was in a different universe. Otherwise, his Level 9.9 Overlord power would likely be suppressed by the universe's rules.
Since he was currently in another universe—specifically the one where the Avatar World and Terra were located—Linsley's diviner power wasn't suppressed, allowing him to fully showcase the might of a Great God.
After Linsley obtained his simulation rewards and successfully integrated his power, he waited for a while but still hadn't received any notifications regarding the Goddess Simulation.
Unable to ignore his doubts, Linsley asked the system, "When will the Goddess Simulation start? Or are there simply no goddesses who meet the requirements for it to begin?"
"That seems unlikely, though, since I'm fairly certain Lucy fits the goddess criteria for the Goddess Simulation."
Although Linsley didn't have any romantic relationship with Lucy and even regarded her as a younger sister, it seemed she had other plans, secretly harboring feelings for him.
Meanwhile, Ted had no interest in Lucy; he was a dense fool much like a shonen protagonist, acting as the youngest brother in their trio. He was more like a naive sibling with no interest in women or men, always focused on becoming stronger to protect his family.
With an oblivious younger brother and an affectionate younger sister, Linsley had his challenges maintaining his authority as the eldest brother, though he was aware Lucy likely went berserk after learning of his death.
If Lucy ever fell and degenerated, Linsley felt she would instantly reach Level 9.9 Overlord and achieve her Second Awakening.
While he hadn't outright rejected Lucy's advances—he wasn't a monk, after all—he was busy pursuing world peace and expanding the influence of the Sinclair Order, leaving him little time to develop his relationship with her.
"So, system, why didn't my death cause Lucy to initiate the Goddess Simulation?"
