Meddling The Omniverse

Time has passed since the start of Seth's Training. An unidentified figure is manipulating an ethereal orb with many futuristic yet also whimsical types of machinery. 

The figure had just finished its part of the work and was waiting for the mechanical contraptions to finish their task on the ethereal orb. Finally, the machinery finished its part, and a set of information went straight to the figure's mind. 

The figure smiled but also felt a sense of concern after analyzing this new information, "Interesting, he is one of those types, this could be a blessing or a curse." The figure obtained the information it wanted and sent it through specialized channels. 

Glancing at the stacks of papers filled with writings, the figure sighed, "Ugh… Only some of it provides something." It threw the papers away, grabbed a small item from somewhere, and departed.

Location: Seth's Rock

Seth had just finished building a small but also elegant bar on top of his desolate rock. He is now creating the final item to complete the bar behind the bar table. 

Midway to his creation, a jingle from the bar's doorbell rang, and an individual he was far too familiar with entered his bar. 

Seth welcomed the ball and grabbed a cocktail glass from the bar counter, he set aside the object he was currently creating and used one of his hands to materialize an elegant liquor bottle from thin air. 

The bottle's liquor was poured into the cocktail glass and served to the ball. The ball accepted the drink and Seth went back to fiddling with his final item.

The ball took a sip, "Not bad, you've come a long way with your creation ability."

"Thank you, creating a drink out of my power still feels too unnatural to me. Even though you said it's fine for me to drink it, it feels like drinking my sweat." As time passed, Seth's way of speaking had almost returned to normal, though his gentlemanly eloquence resurfaced from time to time.

"Not many gods' powers can easily create objects out of nothing, and if they can, they often have extreme limitations, sad that your power's limitations are that it's limited to this place."

"I understand," Seth felt a bit stifled by his limitation, but he finally finished the last object he wanted to create, and with a single wave, the object moved by itself to a hidden corner the ball couldn't discern.

Seth nodded, "Now, back to the point, is it that time again? Another book to read?" 

previously, The voice introduced him to the ball with a top hat, and they promptly delved into combat training. Although Seth wasn't initially inclined toward combat, they discovered that Seth enjoys and is quite talented in it. After a few intensive combat sessions, they shifted to more 'relaxing' knowledge-based study sessions.

The ball without revealing its name or identity, emphasized its high-ranking and experienced status, providing a well-rounded education for Seth's development. Those study sessions might sound relaxing, but in actuality, the ball just made Seth study a multiverse-level amount of information through extensive reading.

To make it not boring, the ball meticulously chooses educative and entertaining sources. In the multiverse or omniverse, anything could exist, even books that make boring things like statistical analysis and grammar rules fun to read.

The ball also provided tools and activities like educative videos and fun experiments to enhance his learning experience.

As Seth studied, Seth experienced a breakthrough as a God. First, they found out that his innate talent to learn and comprehend surpasses even godly standards. If a typical god took a week to learn one topic, Seth could learn that in a day. 

The ball capitalized on this by shoving lots of knowledge into Seth without any pause. Good thing Seth liked the feeling of acquiring knowledge, he just felt bored and longed for other activities.

Secondly, Seth discovered his first innate ability—'creation'. Initially, there was excitement, but soon it waned when they realized it was confined to Seth's realm. They tried bringing many things out of his realm but sadly they faded out of existence the moment they came out.

Further testing confirmed that outside his realm, he could create new stuff out of existence, but they were limited in size and time usage, plus they came with huge drawbacks.

Nevertheless, they both agreed that this power deserves further development, hence the bar he resided in was built by himself to train his 'creation' power. Where did he get the materials and tools to build it? Well by making Seth spam the materials and tools out himself. 

At the start, Seth can only magically poof up materials in small quantities like a single piece of brick. With his power unwieldy, he had to build his bar with his bricks manually. 

Fortunately, as he spammed more bricks, he grew and gradually became able to create more complex items. Currently, he could materialize an entire house with complete plumbing and furnishing (in his realm). The construction not only honed his abilities but also helped him acclimate to his new divine form, as the process was taxing in many ways.

As for how he could have the mental capacity to create something on such a scale, remember that he is now more than human.

"No, this isn't any of those. The others who have been monitoring your progress have determined that you are now competent enough to function as a god representing us." Seth noticed the 'monitoring' part but kept mum.

"After thorough discussion, we will send you as a representative to those pantheons working or cooperating in our 'isekai' project as the first step of your integration."

"So what am I supposed to do?"

"We will join a meeting involving the pantheons involved with the isekai project. If you're asking what they do, since you know the 'isekai' genre, you can already guess what they do right?" 

Seth expressed some uncertainty, "Isn't this too big of a job for a complete newbie like me?"

"It is, but we will assist you along the way. Shall we go?"

Seth used his power to open the bar's door, saying, "After you." 

Together, they set off for Seth's first job, ready to navigate the challenges that lay ahead.

A massive assembly began to take shape at a vast plaza surrounded by an uncountable number of vertical starry rivers. 

Many of those attending were engaged in conversations or some sort of indescribable work. One thing for certain: all of them were filled with excitement and anticipation.

"ERIS! Today is THE DAY! That new guy, Seth (they announced his name beforehand), is coming! I just know that something wondrous is about to happen for us because, you know, fate is always on my side!" A blue-haired goddess declared with enthusiasm, her confidence shining through as if the entire divine realm revolved around her.

"Aqua, others can hear you." The white-haired Eris blushed a bit.

"Yes, and only us co-workers are around us, there is no shame between friends and coworkers."

The other gods gave signs of approval, Eris could only smile, Aqua is still Aqua and her carefree attitude is a rarity among us, she thought.

"So will there be a party for Seth's arrival? Where is the food and music? I mean, come on! We can't just welcome him without a proper celebration!"

"Sorry, Aqua, it has been announced that this gathering is strictly a formal meeting. It will primarily be diving into our project matters, and at the end, one of us gets to mentor Seth and introduce him to the project." Eris patiently explained.

"EH!? I mean, OF COURSE, I KNOW what today's event is for! I just forgot some… details… Yes! Yes! The details! I definitely paid attention to the announcement! I just, you know, forgot the nitty-gritty part and just assumed there would be something special like booze for Seth because he is 'special' right?" Aqua replied with a sheepish grin.

The gods couldn't help but chuckle at Aqua's attempt to save face.

"Yes Aqua, we understand what you're coming from." Eris smiled warmly and continued, "Seth is a bit special since he's from that big shot. Since he is also a newcomer, let's make sure to help him settle in! When he shows up, our priority is to give him our warmest and friendliest welcome." Eris tilted her head cutely, earning affectionate smiles from the other gods.

"YOSHA!" Aqua stomped her foot on an unknown pedestal, exclaiming, "Even if there are no drinks to welcome Seth! As Seth's Senpai, we should give him our best welcome and teach him the way!" Aqua declared in a victorious pose.

"OOH!" The other gods also raised their fists in solidarity with Aqua.

A Portal rift materialized in front of the gathering, and the ball emerged first, followed seconds later by Seth in his coat.

"WELCOME TO THE 'ISEKAI' PROJECT!" A resounding cheer erupted throughout the gathering plaza, leaving the ball and Seth stunned by the unexpected welcome.

The ball inquired, "What's with this sudden festivities?"

One of the gods responded, "We were just waiting quietly for your arrival, but our co-worker goddesses, Aqua and Eris, suggested that we give Seth a more exciting welcome."

"Who are these Aqua and Eris you speak of?" The ball asked, the ball had only the core fundamental knowledge of this project and was primarily tasked with leading and briefing on the project's future directions. Assisting Seth's integration by choosing a mentor was more of a bonus. 

"The ones you spoke of are right here!" Aqua proudly pulled Eris forward to the spotlight and patted her chest with confidence.

"wa!? I apologize if this causes you trouble!" Eris bowed and blushed out of shyness.

When Seth saw both goddesses for the first time, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. A surge of memories resurfaced in his mind, although they were so blurry that he could barely discern them. Nonetheless, he felt a strong familiarity with both goddesses, especially the blue-haired one.

"No need to be tense; your attempt was unexpected but also nice and pleasant." The ball didn't berate them and complimented their efforts. 

Both Aqua and Eris bowed in unison.

Seth was still wide-eyed, he checked his gut (god power/divinity) for insight on this matter and received two replies from it:

"OH SH*T!" 

and 

"This will be interesting."

"Seth… Seth… SETH! Are you okay!?" The ball floated directly in front of his eyes.

Seth snapped out of his trance-like state and noticed everyone was staring at him in confusion, especially Aqua and Eris. Eris' cheek turned red, while Aqua squinted her eyes with alertness. 

Seth had just realized that, while he was in his trance, he had unconsciously or accidentally stared at both girls in a way that could be perceived as lecherous.

"Seth, I know those two are very beautiful, but you shouldn't make it so obvious." The ball said with a grin, Seth didn't understand how he could tell since the ball had no face, Perhaps it was the familiarity he had developed with the ball during their training.

"Forgive me," Seth responded, not wanting to reveal that he had been in a bit of a trance since seeing Aqua and Eris, it would make the atmosphere even more awkward.

"Alright then, let's start our meeting and brief Seth's role in this project, if you have any questions, there will be a discussion at the end, feel free to take notes if necessary." The ball conjured an amphitheater from the plaza's ground and a meeting commenced.
