Multiverse Adventures: Starting in Borderlands

Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Aftermath



It had taken quite a while for Sirin to accept that her mother was dead, I mean she knew already, but it's the moving on part that stung especially since Sirin knew that the illusionary world i had created using Fenghuang Down wasn't real.

The effects of Felix Felisis had work off ages ago since it can only last for one hour and I accomplished my goal of having Sirin be redeemed and accept me as family.

After what had been a full week inside of the illusionary world we finally exited it and went back to the others.

Lilith and Welt had defeated Benares which should have only happened a few moments ago, Lilith was making sure Benares wasn't killed since she knew my original plan to redeem Sirin and thus not to kill Benares.

"So I take it that you accomplished what you wanted." Welt's words were more of a confirmation to himself of what he saw, that being Sirin walking nervously behind me as she grabbed and held onto a the patch of cloth of my armour.

"Yes, though things aren't finished yet."

My words brought a wave of confusion to Welt but that was soon replaced by a deep intense yet momentary feeling of pain as his vision faded to black.

I had just used Fenghuang Down to place Welt into an induced Coma so he wouldn't be able to fight back against me or sense my killing intent, as I cut him perfectly in two with a vertical downwards slash of my sword Umbra.

"Raime! What have you done?!" Lilith was horrified at the sudden murder she just witnessed as she got ready to fight me.

"Calm down Lilith, I'm not being mind controlled or anything, this was always the plan from the start. But since we're all done here we can all head back home. But if you want to protest I can always let slip what happened at your bedro-"

*Bang* 

Lilith had fired her gun at me and in good fashion it bounced off a spatial barrier I had put up in advance.

Ignoring a fuming redhead who complained she'll get back at me, I reached down to grab Welt's Herrscher Core of Reason.

I placed it inside of the Horadric Cube along with some Artificial Eridium i created myself and removed the consciousness of the previous inheritors of the Herrscher Core.

In the comic Welt was able to place his consciousness inside of the Herrscher Core and attack Sirin from inside her own mind and body, not only that but the overlapping mental consciousness of 'all of Humanity' overlapped which was what had caused the original Herrscher of Reason in the Current Era to disobey the Will of Konkai's orders to destroy Humanity.

After taking out the Herrscher Core i activated my Psychometry on it to absorb the knowledge from it, idly it didn't hurt this time around.

"Sirin, take this."

I said as I offered the Herrscher Core to her, the Eridium i used was made artificially with my own essence and power, so when Sirin leaves this universe to come to the Borderlands verse, she'll still be able to use the Herrscher Cores since her soul energy and essence will be the fuel for using it's abilities.

"This is?!"

"Absorb it, you'll need it in the future. And besides don't you want to destroy Shicksal, while I can do it, it would be difficult alone unless of course you had this."

After hearing that Sirin didn't hesitate anymore and she placed the Herrscher Core of Reason into her mouth as she swallowed it and gained it's power to analyse and re-create any technology she understands in full.

After that, not much really happened, once I returned back with the others I had gone on my merry way with Sirin and easily dealt with Otto Apocalypse.

Following that I took Sirin to Nagazora City and to the Japanese Shrine where the Black Box that contained the imprisoned Herrscher of Corruption of the previous era within.

After allowing Sirin to take posses of the Herrscher of Corruption's power she easily dealt with Shicksal as a whole while sparing those she deemed innocent.

She was now able to Corrupt and access anything she corrupts, be it organic or inorganic which also means she is on Par with Angel with her PhaseShift abilities and possesses Biology Manipulation.

The reason I believe Angel to be superior to Angel in hacking technology to be due to favouritism but just plain facts.

Angel as a child after awakening her powers had the intellect to store an entire planet's worth of information, while in her younger adult years when she interfaced with Hyperion's systems, she had a connection that spanned the entire Galaxy.

Meanwhile Welt and Rin (previous Era Herrscher of Corruption) both barely even make it to planetary level. Though given enough time and training they could achieve similar levels to Angel's feats but the gap was simply too large to close, and by then Angel would surely grow in power and knowledge by the time they did.

Regardless, the reason I had Sirin get the Herrscher of Corruption's powers was to destroy Shicksal while analysing their database on who is deserving of death and who isn't, while also avoiding a direct confrontation with this world's powerhouses like Cecilia, Fu Hua and Kevin Kaslana.

Once that had been taken care of, I had already created enough artificial Eridium to empower myself to being able to open a portal in Space-Time to return the others back to the Borderlands universe as I still wanted to stay here for the next two decades.

The others partially protested but listened to my request and went through the portal.

The next two decades was boring to say the least, honestly I had trillions of dollars and just kinda went and became a Neet in the woods with Sirin since Anti Entropy eventually learned of what I did to Welt and that Sirin was still alive. The entire world was informed of this and we kinda enjoyed ourselves just playing games or doing Neet stuff all the time.

During that time, I had helped Sirin to obtain each and every Herrscher Core of every Herrscher that appeared in the current Era.

Sirin now had the powers of all the Herrschers including the Herrscher of Finality.

Herrscher of Reason - Object Creation/Reconstruction of That Which is Understood by the User. Absorption of Soul Fragments of Nearby Casualties

Herrscher of the Void - Dimensional and Spatial Manipulation

Herrscher of Thunder - Electromagnetism & Electricity Manipulation

Herrscher of Wind - Wind & Wether Manipulation, Ideal Fluid Creation

Herrscher of Ice - Ice Manipulation

Herrscher of Death - Life & Death Manipulation via Atomic control of Matter

Herrscher of Fire - Fire Manipulation, Accelerate Atoms

Herrscher of Sentience - Dream World, Mind Manipulation

Herrscher of Stars - Black Hole Creation & Gravity Manipulation

Herrscher of Domination/Legion - Creates 1,000 clones with a shared Consciousness and capabilities

Herrscher of Binding - Energy Nullification

Herrscher of Corruption - Corrupt anything Organic or Inorganic

Herrscher of Origin - 'Humanity' (if enough belief is accumulated, can alter Reality to achieve a feat or goal in line with the level of belief accumulated

Herrscher of Finality - Time Manipulation

Sirin had also matured greatly in this time, while she still retained her personality and traits, she did become quite beautiful and looked basically like she did when she appeared in the games while in the clone Kiana's body as the Herrscher of the Void.

This shouldn't have been even possible since the clone Kiana was made to replace the real Kiana (Bianka), and Sirin somehow still looked exactly like Kiana?

I pressed her on it and she admitted to having used the power of Sentience to mind read my mind on what appearances I licked and she found the one of Kiana from the game, which also made her learn of herself being a fictional character which she didn't care all too much only enough.

I didn't really react to what she did since it was so insignificant for me, so I let it slide.

Since everything in this world had essentially been taken cared of, I had asked Sirin to create a gigantic mobile fortress similar to the Floating Sanctuary in Borderlands 2. In addition to creating a few dozen ships and pieces of technology of this world or anything i purchased from the System Store and gave to her to analyse.

Once all that had been taken care of we made our departure back to the Borderlands Universe as I had a near infinite supply of produce artificial Eridium over the years here.

Not only that but I had been able to master my PhaseSpace-Time and PhaseCreate abilities. Now I had virtually no real threats that I couldn't handle but I wouldn't become complacent or arrogant to think that.
