Gamer System in Campione - Chapter 9

Netherworld.

Netherworld, also known as the Limit of Life and Immortality, Youmingjie, Menog and the Realm of Ideas, the Netherworld is the area of ​​the Astral Plane where souls go after the end of their lives, and also the place where Heretic Gods go after tired of their time in the mortal world, or to hide.

It is a dangerous place where those without magical protection find themselves drained of energy and magical strength until they die. The Campione's, with their divine energy, are among the few who can support the place without any preparation.

Within the Netherworld are the Memories of the Void, the collective knowledge of the entire world. The hime mikos are known to be able to access the memories of this realm. A Campione, while on the Netherworld, can also access this knowledge because of their heightened awareness. These memories and events are recorded in the Akashic Record, in the form of the Akashic Memories that are stored in Plutarch's Residence.

The Netherworld is connected to the Fairy Realm. Beyond the Netherworld is the Realm of Immortality, home to the gods who didn't rebel against its myths.

Currently in the Netherworld, a world surrounded by a great mist that prevented anyone from seeing ahead was a person lying on the ground.

With brown hair and dark skin, his eyes shone like the sun looked up without any surprise, after all he had already come to this place several times.

The Seventh Campione had just fallen asleep and was now in the Netherworld.

Ozymandias' last memory was of fighting Hecate and Hephaestus and then taking a plane to England.

Obviously he could have gone using one of his Authorities, as some of them could be used as a means of transportation.

However if Ozymandias were in the Netherworld he would not be able to control his Authorities, so he decided to take a plane to England.

And he took advantage of that to sleep on the plane while he finally went to meet his mother.

"Oh my god, you really are quick to come back, and this time you killed two Heretic Gods at once, you're still the same irresponsible as ever" a female voice spoke up.

Ozymandias turned his gaze upwards and saw a girl standing over him, looking at him with glee was a slender young girl in her mid-teens, with violet hair, green eyes and pointed ears.

King Sun admitted that when he saw her the second time, when he killed his second Heretic God and paid attention to what she was like, he couldn't help but be disappointed.

After all the woman who was supposedly blessed with everything including great beauty by the Gods was a loli.

But even so, he couldn't see Pandora in a different way than this.

"Hey, it's been a while mom," Ozymandias said with a slight smile.

The Goddess gave her favorite son a big smile as she sat on the floor and placed Ozymandias' head on her lap as she ran a hand through her hair.

"Welcome Ozy," Pandora said smiling at her son.

Ozymandias snorted at his mother's nickname.

"Please don't call me that," grumbled the Sun King.

"Why? Your name is too long, besides why did you choose that name? Ozymandias is one of the names of the Heretic God Rameses II, whom you killed a few years ago. Why do you have the same name as him?" asked Pandora without understanding.

Ozymandias only snorted while not speaking.

In return, Pandora chuckled, knowing her youngest son's personality well.

Although she should love her children equally, Pandora can't help but love Ozymandias more.

He was the most fulfilling her duty as Campione, the only one of her brothers who called her mother and in some mysterious way was able to recall her memories of the Netherworld.

He was the one who visited her the most, and she cared a lot about her youngest son.

"So this time it was Hecate and Hephaestus, or rather the Roman aspects of them known as Trivia and Vulcan respectively," said Pandora smiling.

"Have you prepared them yet?" asked Ozymandias in surprise.

With a wave of Pandora in front of Ozymandias, two spheres of light appeared, one a dark blue and the other a fiery red.

In dark blue was a drawing of a Goddess with three faces in the center and eight branches with their own desires representing the Authorities that Ozymandias had obtained from Hecate/Trivia.

Already in fiery red was the design of a blacksmith in the center while it possessed seven branches being the Authorities that Ozymandias had obtained from Hephaestus/Vulcan.

"Yeah, I made sure to keep the best ones for you," Pandora said smiling.

Pandora possesses a divine item called [Circle of Usurpation], which allows her to give the Authorities of the gods/goddesses who were killed by her son to them. Pandora can give the Authorities of the gods/goddesses who were killed according to the process in which the gods/goddesses are killed.

There were some processes related to the Gods for a Campione to obtain their Authorities.

The Authorities of God.

His compatibility with the human who killed him.

And God's desire.

After all there were some Gods who left most of their power willingly with a Campione before returning to the myth, a good example was Ra himself who had left all his Authorities to Ozymandias.

However, a Heretic God left only a small fraction of his power before returning to myth, so it was rare for a Campione to have more than one Authority related to a Heretic God.

Ozymandias was different, he was able to withstand a great deal of power and as Pandora's favorite son he always ended up inheriting much of the Authority of the Heretic Gods he killed.

Although Ozymandias thought a lot of it came from his being a [Player].

"You seem to be trying a lot lately," said Pandora as she watched her youngest son absorb the Authorities.

She knew that Ozymandias was killing a lot of Heretic Gods lately, a lot of life and death struggles.

"I know, but I must be prepared for it," Ozymandias said seriously.

Pandora squinted her eyes as she nodded, her youngest son was the one with the greatest chance of victory against the King of the End.

Pandora hated that God because he killed her children, all she wanted most was that her children could live free.

"I understand, but try to enjoy your life, you are young, just don't abuse your Authority and misuse them," Pandora said warningly.

Ozymandias chuckled: "I think you should say that to others, Voban and Alec mainly"

Pandora snorted at the mention of her most rebellious children.

"Fu! They always do what they want! Next time you see them from a lesson on them," Pandora said seriously.

"Okay," said Ozymandias laughing.

"So how about you get a girlfriend huh?" said Pandora smiling teasingly.

"I've had girlfriends."

"I don't mean your one-night stand adventures sleeping with various women around the world. But one that would always accompany you," Pandora said with a snort.

"You and Luo Hao would make a cute couple," Pandora said smiling happily.

"You know she and I are technically brothers right?"

"It doesn't matter, I don't care" said Pandora with a shrug: "But you can also have a harem, due to being a Campione no one could object!" said Pandora happily as she imagined her grandchildren.

"What was that talk about not abusing your Authorities and influence in the world?" asked Ozymandias sarcastically.
