Ruler Of The Abyss

The World Order, a collective of people ranging from high ranking politicians, business tycoons to kings of continents and presidents. The World Order pulls the strings of this planet like it's a puppet. I have lead a rebellion against The World Order by using my skills in assassination.

Using their influence on governments of the world I have multiple bounties on my head and at least 75% of my henchmen are wanted for "Terrorism". Being tracked across countless nations and continents was truly a thrill, escaping bounty hunters in the forest of Brazil and running around in all white camouflage in the snowy terrain of Alaska. But of course, the fun has to end here.

They've tracked me down and now I'm in a highly advanced bunker surrounded by hundred of my subordinates, each with heavy tactical equipment or light armor. Almost preparing for war.

"Boss, reporting that the order has prepared multiple squads of executioners ready to infiltrate through the main entrance. Awaiting orders." A large burly man in a black suit with a heavy combat vest and a large rifle in hand speaks to me awaiting orders.

"Standby, wait for my signal and then everyone gets in battle formations. For now, sit back and relax."

Looking through the monitors lined up in the walls of the control room, I see multiple trucks and vehicles with hordes of people in combat gear all ready to try and breach my bunker.

And then a busty redhead in leather combat suit that accentuates her ample 'personalities' comes out one of the bulky armored squad trucks, with a megaphone in hand she starts to speak.

"We have you cornered, exit the bunker and surrender or we will be forced to pursue with lethal action! You will be judged for your crimes and you will stay in jail forever."

'Ah, I didn't expect her to come all this way for little old me. Truly heartwarming hahaha!'

Snapping my finger the burly figure from before comes towards me.

"Activate the external speakers, give me the microphone."

"Yes, boss!" one of the henchmen say before scurrying off into the storage area and then coming back, with the mic in hand I tap it a little and the speakers on the outside of the bunker give off a little feedback.

"Oh? I didn't expect my dear Natasha to come to visit me. If you truly want to pursue with 'lethal action' just come inside hehe I'm sure my men will treat you well."

When I finish speaking my men start bursting out in laughter

"Hahaha boss how could you make fun of your ex like that!"

"I'm not saying I would mind if she came in kekeke"

On the outside, Natasha taking a few minutes to understand what I meant turns red.

Embarrassed by what I said after a few seconds of blushing like a high school girl in love she orders her men with the temperament of an empress "What the f.u.c.k are you ugly pigs laughing at? Get prepared to infiltrate that bunker and bring me his cold, dead body."

The army outside getting into position to breach the thick bunker doors, after a few attempts to burst through with a large breaching ram they give up and plant a new type of explosive I've never seen before

With a large boom that sounded like a thunderclap, through the smoke that has yet to clear multiple smoke grenades fly through the demolished entrance.

The squad commanders yell at their forces to rush through the entrance "Go! Go! Go! Kill on sight!"

'Yes... Come into my trap you won't leave alive.'

Standing up from my throne I command my men like a king on the battlefield. With countless smoke grenades rushing through the smoke that has yet to set from the explosion I say

"Turrets, fire and rip them to shreds! Riflemen clear the ones the turret doesn't hit. Demolition activate the traps outside."

In battle formation, my highly trained group of soldiers immediately destroy start shooting and bodies start dropping like flies, after a few minutes of a one-sided gunfight. Bodies lay on the floor with bullet holes ripped all over them.

Natasha and the rest of the other squadron commanders are fuming at the immense loss in just a few minutes.

"How did it end up like this in such a short time!?" She says before talking to the other commanders.

After a few more skirmishes of me alternating between turret fire and gunfire their numbers start dwindling, tired of the constant losses they evacuate their remaining soldiers.

'What are you guys planing kukuku…?' I knew they wouldn't leave that easily as they have most likely got the orders from the higher-ups of The Order for my head.

Commander: "Prepare to leave, Initiate protocol 9E-Warhead."

"Everyone evacuates the premises, the warhead will hit target E.T.A [ 30 Minutes ]" Natasha screams out to what remains of her attacking force.

Since I already know what they're planning to do, with a simple push of a button in the control room, thick stone walls cover the surrounding area of the bunker, with multiple contingencies they thought I wouldn't have planned for this? Foolish!

With the emergence of these walls, they force cannot escape from the impending doom of the warhead coming to evaporate them.

"Hahaha, you truly thought you could escape my clutches? Enjoy your last thirty minutes hehe."

Words all the remaining army could hear, breaking into a visible panic trying to find escape routes or where to gain shelter, some try to enter the bunker but get ripped apart by bullets. Five minutes past and they give up the thought of escape.

With 25 minutes remaining, I decided to lead my men into a safe room I've prepared for them. Turning to the group of 100 or so men. I cough before I yell out to everyone.

"Thank you all for your years of service, you've been faithful and truly subservient to me these past years and as a final act of gratitude. You all will keep your lives.

Everyone will survive in this saferoom, sadly I will not be joining you as this will be my last breath. Good luck and remember to enjoy a happy future. Good luck."

The group of grown men expresses a great loss.

"T-thank you, boss!"

"Yes... We won't forget you!"

"It was an honor to kill you…"

"Have a good afterlife boss!"

…..

Closing the safe room door and then walking to where my throne lays I flip open the hidden compartment where lay a red button, the large red button will be the doom of The Order.

With a camera pointed towards me I start my speech to the world when I hit record.

"This will be my last gift to the world, heed my word. Should you repeat the events of the past, though I may not live. You will meet the same fate which will end in death."

Sending the recording to multiple publications and news organization automatically with a script, I press the red button and then the warehouse roof opens and in the middle of the warehouse grounds, a large circle opens up revealing a missile silo.

Aimed at the World Order's "hidden" base, the fast missile flies into the sky like an eagle. Sitting back in my throne I close my eyes and remember the massacre the world refers to as "The Culling", the blood... Bodies being burnt, children were not even spared, only I the remaining survivor could bring peace to their souls.

"Good luck in your next lives."

Waiting for my impending death I count

"5…

4…

3..

2..

1…"

Opening one eye I notice the whole scenery changed and now I'm in a completely white room.

"0..?"

Looking around for anyone or anything I look behind me to see a 2D looking figure?

An all-white humanoid figure with no face or mouth he's just an outline of a human. I've already deduced I'm dead and in the presence of a higher being, so I decide to stand up and speak to this being.

After observing the strange figure in front of me, I finally speak to it

"Hello there... I assume you already know me, so may I ask your name?"

The white figure than breaks into a deranged smile

Truth: "Truth! My name is Truth. Some call me 'One' but I refer to myself as 'All'.

Since there can be no all without one I have many names! Call me anything, as being one and also being many. I uphold the Law of Equivalent Exchange in another realm. I have come to this lower realm for one thing. And that is to equivalently exchange your bad and good karma! Now. Any questions?" Truth tells me in a jovial smile.

Looking at him I think, 'I understand the concept of him taking my positive karma, but why would he need all the negative karma? Wouldn't that affect him?'

Truth: "I will use both karma types to increase my power, and since I'm taking your immense amounts of positive and negative karma, I need to give you something in exchange! So I will be giving you wishes."

'Oh? Web novels have not failed me. Great! Better than hell."

Truth: "Indeed, you wouldn't want to go to hell it's pretty hot and that 'Satan' guy is a d.i.c.kwad. Anyway, don't take all eternity (even though we have eternity) tell me your wishes!

'Tsk. You glorified stick figure dare rush me?'

Almost like he's heard my internal curses he starts to laugh before he speaks

"Don't waste my time. State your wishes and get out of here." Truth says while releasing an aura that can instill fear in any normal human, deciding not to anger the overpowered cartoon character, gasping for air I calm down and think before I tell him "I've decided."

"My first request is for full control over the Nothingness or the Void, and I'll be able to enter the void realm where I can manipulate anything related to it. I also want to have a separate realm inside of it where I can house soldiers and people, It will need housing facilities, infinite resources for sustenance and also infinite cultivation resources with training facilities and other accommodations. Only people I allow will be able to come into the void realm, take an extra wish if needed."

Truth: "Nothingness... Since nothingness or rather the void will become your realm, you just need to will it and you will have it, no one will be able to enter without your permission as the void recognizes you as it's master, or rather creator. Granted!"

'The void has many functions I believe, with the void as my domain I can become powerful'

'Now conquering the realms will be easy If I can nurture my army, a great thing they're lots of talents in Against The Gods the story overlooked..'

"Great, now I want the bloodline and soul of Chaos, the Primordial of the Void. With this, I will be able to devour any aspect of people I kill such as cultivation, bloodlines, and my body and soul will not be able to die as long as the void exists, which will forever continue to exist as without darkness there will be no light. I will also be able to change my body with void energy and my regeneration, physical capabilities, cultivating speed, soul, and mind are tiers above gods."

Truth: "Great wish, you can further examine its abilities later."

"I want the ability to control every type of lightning including the tribulations, I want to be able to use it in various ways like moving through lightning to travel long distances or covering my body in lightning to have a sort of barrier, I do need something for offense."

Truth: "While nothingness and completeness are more powerful than anything in that realm, lightning will be a key offensive ability. Good decision!"

Truth: "I already know your last wish which is to transmigrate into Against The Gods with the appearance of 'Shirou Kotomine'. Correct?

To which I just nod.

Truth: "Thanks for the karma sucker! When you become a god don't come for me, got it? Thanks!" he starts bursting out in deranged laughter before everything turns black.
