"So this is the holy grounds?" Rei asked seeing the location in front of him.
"Indeed." Fukuro nodded.
Turning to Fukuro, Rei opened his mouth.
"Isn't that just a shallow cave?!" Rei said. He could feel the depth of the cave so he doesn't understand why it would be so important.
"What?!" Fukuro was surprised hearing the words shallow.
"Surely not right? There has to be something important inside!" Fukuro said agitated. Their efforts couldn't have been to protect a shallow cave, right?
"I'll go check it out anyways." Rei frowned as he walked forward. It didn't take long until he walked into a barrier.
Using Kamui, Rei slipped pass all of the barriers.
As he continued forward, Rei didn't realise that he had already travelled past what would have been the back of the 'shallow' cave.
Fukuro watched as Rei's body disappeared and prayed for his success.
Rei was going to stop as he felt something was off.
'I've been walking for far too long.' Rei thought as he frowned. Turning around quickly, he couldn't see where he came from.
Just as he was about to use Flying Thunder God to escape, Rei found himself in a new location.
It seemed like it was in space as he could see the countless stars in the sky.
Rei could feel that his powers weren't restricted in this place so he brought forth the entirety of his power.
"Tsk, don't break this space you idiot." A voice rang out as Rei turned around quickly summoning Kyoki and Tengoku into his hands.
In front of him was a white silhouette sitting with his legs crossed. Rei could only see a single golden pupil as it stared into him.
"It took millions upon millions of years for you to finally arrive. Honestly as this point, I should have expected this since I saw it coming." The figure spoke as Rei narrowed his eye he was about to speak when a pressure washed over him causing him to tense up.
"Ahp! Don't talk, it's my turn to speak." The figure said bringing his finger to his mouth. The pressure emitted from the figure, whilst not directed at him, felt like it could kill him the moment it was focused on him.
"Let's see, this time you should be called Rei Yotsuba. I would have tried to meet you a lot earlier but you wouldn't have gained the skills needed so I'm meeting you here." The figure said standing up.
"System's still working so that's good. Honestly, I wasn't too sure about how it would work when I first made it. But after seeing the future with this eye of mine, I was still unsure. Since the future could change at any moment. But it seems like this eye was more accurate than I had thought." The figure said circling around Rei.
'He was the creator of the system?!' Rei thought with widened eyes.
"I feel like I should answer some questions and give you some information. I created the system with two intentions in mind. 1- to be a stabilising factor in the entire realms. I'm sure you know what I mean since you have already done it in the Overlord world I think it's called. And 2- to help you. More precisely help you grow or rather regain." The figure spoke as Rei felt even more unnerved.
"Che, I'm only a dead spirit- wait no that isn't right. I'm only a dead hologram? I guess that works better. Just know that I'm dead and this is for you. In the future I've seen, you won't survive. Last life, no reincarnations. You died before you could reach your potential. So no everyday life with Eve and Bai Wu. No visiting your children in Douluo Dalu. And naturally it means everyone is dead since you were one of the main defences." The figure narrowed its eyes.
"But since I've seen it, I have to try prevent it. Right now, you should have one part of the god tempered body. This world will give you the second part. After this world, I want you to focus on skill hunting so you have more trump cards for the future." The figure spoke seemingly reaching out for something.
"Tsk, this five-year restriction the system god placed was one of the main reasons you couldn't reach your potential. I'm going to change it down to 3 years since this is the limit of what I can influence the System God with right now."

"Done. Time is short so I'll tell you this. Don't trust your back to War Gods." The figure narrowed its eye as it placed a finger on Rei's forehead.

"Haa.... I've done what I can. You can leave now." The figure spoke as he sent Rei out of his space.
[Creator, it would be most likely that he will be able to reach his potential with this.]
"Yeah, he should know which skills to hunt for. Some of the more important skills will be available in the System God trials." The figure replied as his body was fading.
Bringing up what seems to be a locket, he gazed at the two figures in the locket tenderly. Spending the last of his moments looking at the figures, he hoped the future he saw wouldn't come around.
###
Whilst Rei was in the mysterious space, the Ketsu clan was being attacked by enemies.
These enemies had been greedy over the clan records of the Ketsu clan when they discovered Yaiba was a part of the Ketsu clan. They waited patiently near where they first discovered Ketsu and realised the clan was hidden away in the country sides. The reason why Rei didn't realise them was because they had been patient and lived in the countryside for several years now.
This was the reason why Rei couldn't sense them; it was because they were already in the town. Rei had been focused on people who were tailing them so he naturally overlooked these enemies.
Gathering as much man power overnight, they launched an attack the next morning through firing a huge barrage of attack forcefully breaking the concealment sequence.
"You know your missions, you know your jobs. Take the record, leave none alive. GO!" The leader shouted as the operatives started to spread out around the clan leaving them no place to escape.
In addition to this, the clan was situated in a country side where there were hardly any police around. This gave them the freedom of using the more powerful spells.
Yaiba and Harumi were having breakfast happily with her brother until an alarm rang out and his parents ran into the room.
"Yaiba, the clan is under attack. Take Harumi and go to the shelters. Remember, do not leave the clan grounds. Or else the consequences will be dire." His father warned quickly.
"The clans under attack?!" Yaiba cried out in shock.
"Father I can help. Sensei gave me a powerful sequence that allows me to fight." Yaiba said as his father frowned.
"I-I can also help!" Harumi mustered up the courage as she also wanted to help Yaiba where she could.
"Then take your brother to the shelters first. All of the non-combatants are there and we must protect them."
Both Yaiba and Harumi nodded at his words. Quickly taking her brother, they both ran towards the shelters.
Yaiba frowned as he saw two figures chasing them on the roofs.
'Nine Blades!' He thought summoning the blades.
Standing on one of the blades, Yaiba gave Harumi support from the air.
Splitting four swords for each enemy, Yaiba attacked.
*PING PING PING PING!
The swords hit a shield that kept regenerating as Yaiba had to focus his attacks into a single spot.
Frowning, Yaiba was about to attack again. Suddenly, two dark brown earthen spears penetrated their barriers killing them through the chest.
Landing softly, Yaiba nodded at the pale Harumi as he quickly set her down on his blade and rushed towards the shelters.
"Harumi, I don't want you to kill if you don't want to. Just help protect this location. I'll go eliminate the people intruding our clan." Yaiba said as he gave Harumi a kiss.
"I'll be back." Yaiba smiled as he took off. Harumi only nodded as she brought Akira inside the shelter.
Flying through the air, Yaiba could see his grandfather struggling against four enemies.
Narrowing his eyes, Yaiba charged forwards.
Splitting the swords, two per person. Yaiba incorporated his techniques into his control making it seem like it was only one sword per person whilst the second sword cut towards their back.
Eliminating three out of four enemies, the last one retreated just in time.
The person gnashed his teeth in anger seeing three of his companions die.
Bringing his dagger up to his face, he charged at Yaiba.
Summoning five blades, Yaiba sent it towards the charging enemy whilst the other three confirmed the kills.
Knowing that the dagger was weaker than the blades, the enemy didn't deflect but rather dodge through the gaps, stepping on the blade to help him manoeuvre. Yaiba was shocked but didn't let it show on his face as he jumped down from his sword and controlled all nine blades to seal off every exit the opponent had.
Stabbing through the enemy from every direction, Yaiba was drenched in blood making him want to vomit but he knew this wasn't the time.
"Grandfather where is sensei?!" Yaiba asked quickly.
"He's still in the holy grounds. He hadn't left since yesterday but I believe he should come out soon." Fukuro replied as Yaiba frowned in anxiousness.
"Yaiba, they're trying to get our clan records. Go help your parents since they're protecting the records hall." Fukuro urged quickly as Yaiba nodded.
Running quickly, Yaiba didn't use his blades as he needed to save his psions for the next fight since the records hall is bound to have a lot of enemies.
As he reached the record hall, he could see both his parents bloody but alive. Around them were corpses littered around.
There were only two people left as they were relatively unharmed.
Yaiba narrowed his eyes, as he kept quiet. Slowly approaching the duo, Yaiba waited for a chance at a killing blow.
"You should just give up." One of the enemies said with a sneer.
"Give us the record and we'll leave. Simple as that." The other followed up.
"Pui! Only a dog would believe you." Genzo, Yaiba's father, spat out as he glared at them noticing Yaiba sneaking up on them. Understanding his intent, he kept quiet.
"Then you can die." The first enemy grinned as he suddenly turned around and punched towards Yaiba with his fist.
Quickly dodging left, Yaiba managed to avoid the fist before getting kicked.
"KUAH!" Yaiba cried out in pain as he smashed against the wall.
"Yaiba!" Genzo shouted as he was about to run over when the second enemy approached. Quickly reinforcing his body, Genzo used his footwork to confuse the enemy before landing an uppercut.
The enemy only smiled without flinching before giving him a devastating right hook.
Yaiba gritted his teeth as he sent his blades to the first enemy.
Dodging as quickly as he could, the enemy managed to only dodge seven of the blades from close range.
Two were stabbed into his arm and thigh causing him to frown in anger.
The enemy ripped out the blade before stabbing it through Yaiba's abdominal area causing him to scream out in pain.
"AARRRGG!!"
"Can you tell me what is going on right now?" A cold voice rang out as Yaiba felt relief seeing Rei appear behind the enemy. Gripping them by the head and lifting him up, Rei gave Yaiba a glance.
Simulating how Tatsuya heals people, Rei reversed Yaiba's Eidos code to what it was a few minutes ago and transferred the pain over to the enemy he held in his hands.
"AAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!" A blood curdling cry rang out as he had to feel 150x the pain Yaiba went through.
"Sensei, enemies are attacking our clan for our records." Yaiba said as he stood up.
Rei frowned as his eyes grew colder.
*CRKK!
The other enemy tried to hit Rei when he wasn't looking but the impact caused him to break his fist as he gritted his teeth in pain.
"Sorry I think an ant just tried to bite me." Rei said with a flat tone causing the enemy to shiver.
"I got a lock on every hostile within a 3-mile radius. I've already scanned their minds so I know for a fact that this is everyone in their group." Rei said towards Yaiba.
"Since you dare to have thoughts on my student's clan then you all can die." Rei said as he snapped his fingers. Their bodies started to break down as Rei remembered to amplify their pain so they felt each and every part of their body rip and break.
Ghastly cries rang out from every part of the clan as the enemies started to break down into atoms.
"Yaiba, go help the clean-up. Also take this sequence and heal everyone." Rei said as he updated Yaiba's CAD. This sequence reverted the bodies back to the previous state much like what Rei did for Yaiba but there's no backlash from this power.
Right now, Rei was more occupied with the figure he saw in the space as the future he spoke of gave Rei a wakeup call. He had lost his initial drive to get stronger since he was able to meet Eve and Bai Wu sooner or later. But it seems like he had to focus much much more now that he knew the outcome. Or else like the figure said, he would die and lose everything in the process. Rei only clenched his hand as his gaze sharpened.
'Strength! What I need now is the power to overcome the future he predicted.' Rei thought as he stood up.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"So this is the holy grounds?" Rei asked seeing the location in front of him.
"Indeed." Fukuro nodded.
Turning to Fukuro, Rei opened his mouth.
"Isn't that just a shallow cave?!" Rei said. He could feel the depth of the cave so he doesn't understand why it would be so important.

The reason why Rei didn't realise them was because they had been patient and lived in the countryside for several years now.This was the reason why Rei couldn't sense them; it was because they were already in the town. Rei had been focused on people who were tailing them so he naturally overlooked these enemies.Gathering as much man power overnight, they launched an attack the next morning through firing a huge barrage of attack forcefully breaking the concealment sequence."You know your missions, you know your jobs. Take the record, leave none alive. GO!" The leader shouted as the operatives started to spread out around the clan leaving them no place to escape.In addition to this, the clan was situated in a country side where there were hardly any police around. This gave them the freedom of using the more powerful spells.Yaiba and Harumi were having breakfast happily with her brother until an alarm rang out and his parents ran into the room."Yaiba, the clan is under attack. Take Harumi and go to the shelters. Remember, do not leave the clan grounds. Or else the consequences will be dire." His father warned quickly."The clans under attack?!" Yaiba cried out in shock."Father I can help. Sensei gave me a powerful sequence that allows me to fight." Yaiba said as his father frowned."I-I can also help!" Harumi mustered up the courage as she also wanted to help Yaiba where she could."Then take your brother to the shelters first. All of the non-combatants are there and we must protect them."Both Yaiba and Harumi nodded at his words. Quickly taking her brother, they both ran towards the shelters.Yaiba frowned as he saw two figures chasing them on the roofs.'Nine Blades!' He thought summoning the blades.Standing on one of the blades, Yaiba gave Harumi support from the air.Splitting four swords for each enemy, Yaiba attacked.*PING PING PING PING!The swords hit a shield that kept regenerating as Yaiba had to focus his attacks into a single spot.Frowning, Yaiba was about to attack again. Suddenly, two dark brown earthen spears penetrated their barriers killing them through the chest.Landing softly, Yaiba nodded at the pale Harumi as he quickly set her down on his blade and rushed towards the shelters."Harumi, I don't want you to kill if you don't want to. Just help protect this location. I'll go eliminate the people intruding our clan." Yaiba said as he gave Harumi a kiss."I'll be back." Yaiba smiled as he took off. Harumi only nodded as she brought Akira inside the shelter.Flying through the air, Yaiba could see his grandfather struggling against four enemies.Narrowing his eyes, Yaiba charged forwards.Splitting the swords, two per person. Yaiba incorporated his techniques into his control making it seem like it was only one sword per person whilst the second sword cut towards their back.Eliminating three out of four enemies, the last one retreated just in time.The person gnashed his teeth in anger seeing three of his companions die.Bringing his dagger up to his face, he charged at Yaiba.Summoning five blades, Yaiba sent it towards the charging enemy whilst the other three confirmed the kills.Knowing that the dagger was weaker than the blades, the enemy didn't deflect but rather dodge through the gaps, stepping on the blade to help him manoeuvre. Yaiba was shocked but didn't let it show on his face as he jumped down from his sword and controlled all nine blades to seal off every exit the opponent had.Stabbing through the enemy from every direction, Yaiba was drenched in blood making him want to vomit but he knew this wasn't the time."Grandfather where is sensei?!" Yaiba asked quickly."He's still in the holy grounds. He hadn't left since yesterday but I believe he should come out soon." Fukuro replied as Yaiba frowned in anxiousness."Yaiba, they're trying to get our clan records. Go help your parents since they're protecting the records hall." Fukuro urged quickly as Yaiba nodded.Running quickly, Yaiba didn't use his blades as he needed to save his psions for the next fight since the records hall is bound to have a lot of enemies.As he reached the record hall, he could see both his parents bloody but alive. Around them were corpses littered around.There were only two people left as they were relatively unharmed.Yaiba narrowed his eyes, as he kept quiet. Slowly approaching the duo, Yaiba waited for a chance at a killing blow."You should just give up." One of the enemies said with a sneer."Give us the record and we'll leave. Simple as that." The other followed up."Pui! Only a dog would believe you." Genzo, Yaiba's father, spat out as he glared at them noticing Yaiba sneaking up on them. Understanding his intent, he kept quiet."Then you can die." The first enemy grinned as he suddenly turned around and punched towards Yaiba with his fist.Quickly dodging left, Yaiba managed to avoid the fist before getting kicked."KUAH!" Yaiba cried out in pain as he smashed against the wall."Yaiba!" Genzo shouted as he was about to run over when the second enemy approached. Quickly reinforcing his body, Genzo used his footwork to confuse the enemy before landing an uppercut.The enemy only smiled without flinching before giving him a devastating right hook.Yaiba gritted his teeth as he sent his blades to the first enemy.Dodging as quickly as he could, the enemy managed to only dodge seven of the blades from close range.Two were stabbed into his arm and thigh causing him to frown in anger.The enemy ripped out the blade before stabbing it through Yaiba's abdominal area causing him to scream out in pain."AARRRGG!!""Can you tell me what is going on right now?" A cold voice rang out as Yaiba felt relief seeing Rei appear behind the enemy. Gripping them by the head and lifting him up, Rei gave Yaiba a glance.Simulating how Tatsuya heals people, Rei reversed Yaiba's Eidos code to what it was a few minutes ago and transferred the pain over to the enemy he held in his hands."AAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!" A blood curdling cry rang out as he had to feel 150x the pain Yaiba went through."Sensei, enemies are attacking our clan for our records." Yaiba said as he stood up.Rei frowned as his eyes grew colder.*CRKK!The other enemy tried to hit Rei when he wasn't looking but the impact caused him to break his fist as he gritted his teeth in pain."Sorry I think an ant just tried to bite me." Rei said with a flat tone causing the enemy to shiver."I got a lock on every hostile within a 3-mile radius. I've already scanned their minds so I know for a fact that this is everyone in their group." Rei said towards Yaiba."Since you dare to have thoughts on my student's clan then you all can die." Rei said as he snapped his fingers. Their bodies started to break down as Rei remembered to amplify their pain so they felt each and every part of their body rip and break.Ghastly cries rang out from every part of the clan as the enemies started to break down into atoms."Yaiba, go help the clean-up. Also take this sequence and heal everyone." Rei said as he updated Yaiba's CAD. This sequence reverted the bodies back to the previous state much like what Rei did for Yaiba but there's no backlash from this power.Right now, Rei was more occupied with the figure he saw in the space as the future he spoke of gave Rei a wakeup call. He had lost his initial drive to get stronger since he was able to meet Eve and Bai Wu sooner or later. But it seems like he had to focus much much more now that he knew the outcome. Or else like the figure said, he would die and lose everything in the process. Rei only clenched his hand as his gaze sharpened.'Strength! What I need now is the power to overcome the future he predicted.' Rei thought as he stood up.
