God-Level Game Developer System: I Brought In-Game Items To Real World - Chapter 163

Chapter 163: The Origin Oath Between The Higher Existences
Weiss knew that there were game items that could be useful in the late game of Cozy Vacation Life on the luxury cruise ship. However, since Ayame decided not to go late game, then there wasn’t any point in obtaining those game items this early.

Ayame was also aware of that. However, she wanted to secure the authorities.

Although Ayame knew that her brother could secure their win, Ayame still wanted to secure the authorities first.

After all, if an otherworld invasion were to start again, they would be forced out of the game by the Game AI. If that happened when they were in the late game of Cozy Vacation Life, then they wouldn’t have the authorities in their possession since they haven’t brought it back to the real world yet.

If that were to happen, then Ayame would rather want to obtain the authorities as soon as possible to improve her and her team’s power.

Taking the possibility of the otherworld invasion appearing early, Ayame wanted to prepare against it. The power of those goblins wasn’t enough to pose a threat to Ayame, but she had to admit that the otherworld invasion couldn’t be underestimated.

In the fiction she read, goblins weren’t that powerful. Ayame was worried that the next otherworld invasion would be as exaggerated as those goblins.

‘It seems Ayame was worried about the otherworld invasion. Even after I told her to play the games according to her pace, she still insists on completing the game as soon as possible and it’s likely due to the stimulus of the otherworld invasion’s threat.’

Weiss noticed Ayame’s intentions so he didn’t dissuade her from it.

‘Not that I can blame her. Although she has some trust in my power, Ayame also didn’t want to rely too much on me. She wanted to share the burden with me. If only she knew about me being Aspro…’

When Weiss thought of revealing his identity, he immediately disregarded it.

‘That’s too risky if someone were to find my identity as Aspro, the God of Games. Not only is it unnecessary to reveal my identity to Ayame, but it would also put her in unnecessary danger.’

‘After all, Ayame couldn’t protect that secret from those higher existences. Those higher existences are a bunch of bastards who don’t play according to the rules. They are the reason why the otherworld invasion was moved to an earlier date.’

‘If they were to search Ayame’s memories, Ayame would be defenseless against it. The same couldn’t be said for me since I have the system protecting me.’

However, when he had that thought, Weiss then realized.

‘Wait, the higher existences aren’t that dumb, aren’t they? If they were to know that I’m the only one who could protect my mind, soul, and memories from their power, then they would know that I am the host of the God-Level Game Developer System.’

‘If they aren’t that dumb, then they would know that I am Aspro. And let’s not forget about them already being aware of my existence. They knew my existence and noticed my progress so they did dirty tricks in letting the otherworld invasion occur a lot earlier for not only me but also the rest of the transmigrators.’

When Weiss had that thought, Alice answered his doubts as he talked to him via telepathy, “Your existence and identity are known by the top existence among the higher existences. However, those at the middle ranks and lower ranks are unaware of that.”

“The top existence among those higher existences can’t make a move against you, but the same couldn’t be said for those at the middle ranks and lower ranks. Although those at the middle ranks and lower ranks of top existences among our side will counter them, if those hostile higher existences were determined enough, it’s possible for some fishes to slip by the holes in the net.”

“After all, it’s a lot more difficult to protect someone than to kill someone. Not only would our side have to worry about getting harmed, but they also have the same worries towards you and the other transmigrators.”

“If those higher existences were suicidal enough, they could send some of them to do whatever it takes to slip past through the defenses of the higher existences on our side.”

“So for the sake of being wary against those middle rank and lower rank hostile higher existences, I suggest you don’t tell anyone about your secret identity as Aspro.”

Hearing Alice’s explanation, Weiss was about to agree but he then found a hole in Alice’s explanation, “Aren’t the top ranks of those hostile higher existences knew about my identity as Aspro? Can’t they just tell their subordinates and those middle ranks and lower ranks higher existences about it?”

In response, Alice smiled as she replied, “I knew you would ask that. Perceptive as always, Weiss.”

Alice continued, “However, you could say that the top ranks among the hostile higher existences couldn’t tell it to the middle ranks and lower ranks even if they wanted to.”

“One of the bargaining chips for the hastening of the otherworld invasion was an origin oath where those hostile higher existences couldn’t disclose any information about you and the other transmigrators to those middle rank and lower rank higher existences.”

“An origin oath is the most powerful oath that one could swear about. Failure to uphold an origin oath will erase the existence of even the Immortal existences among those top rank hostile higher existences.”

“Even if one of those top rank hostile higher existences were insane enough to disregard their life in disclosing the secrets of you and those transmigrators, they couldn’t. After all, if their existences are eliminated by the origin oath, they will cease to exist and any memories and influence they had in the infinite realities will be erased alongside their existence.”

“Only those top rank higher existences on our side and the hostile side could keep their memories due to their power. But the weaker ones couldn’t.”

“In other words, there isn’t any point in sacrificing their life just to eliminate you and the other transmigrators. Those who had reached their level of power wouldn’t want to die since they had struggled a lot just to reach the top.”

Alice emphasized, “Those who are at the top wouldn’t want to fall at the bottom.”

After hearing Alice’s explanation, Weiss digested all of that information before he asked, “At your peak, are you considered as a middle rank or a low rank higher existence, Alice?”

After a few seconds of silence, Alice answered, “Those at Type 2 are considered as the top of those higher existences. Those at Type 3 are middle rank higher existences while those at Type 4 are low rank higher existences.”

“When I was at my prime, I was at the peak of Type 3 so I can be considered as the best of the best amongst middle rank higher existences.”

Hearing Alice’s answer, Weiss couldn’t help but ask, “If you are that powerful, you could have gotten someone better than me. Why did you sacrifice all the power you accumulated for hundreds of millions of years?”

In response, Alice appeared in front of Weiss and flicked his forehead.

For some reason, Alice’s flick on his forehead caused Weiss a stinging pain as he covered his forehead and asked, “What was that for? I was just genuinely curious!”

Alice chuckled, “Then let me throw the question back at you. If you become a middle rank higher existence and had the same power as I had, would you be willing to give it up for the sake of finding me?”

Posed with Alice’s question, Weiss became solemn as he answered honestly, “I wouldn’t hesitate to give up my power for the one I love.”

“Although, at first, I wouldn’t give it up yet and instead, I will try to break through and reach Type 2. But if I’m not mistaken, you also had that mindset, right? Seeing as you are reduced to a system spirit now, it means you failed to become a Type 2 existence.”

Alice sighed and nodded, “Yes. I might not be as smart as you, but I am not dumb. I also have thought of the same and I planned to become a Type 2 existence. After all, if I could persevere for more than a hundred million years, I could do it for billions or even trillions of years.”

“However, I realized that reaching Type 2 existence isn’t as easy as it seemed. Even those so-called one in a quadrillion geniuses couldn’t reach Type 2. However, those one in a ten thousand geniuses could reach it.”

“In other words, it depends highly on luck as well as opportunity. I knew that I hadn’t gotten the right opportunity yet so I am well aware that it will take me trillions of years just to find the right opportunity.”

“But I knew that I couldn’t wait that long. I only have several hundred million years of time since after that time, you became one of the transmigrators who were tasked to prevent the end of the world.”
