"Are you ready? The trial will be nigh-impossible to get completed and the memories of yourself here in this world will be stripped temporarily. Based on the Akashic Records database, some of the people who tried to complete the trial failed in a matter of a second. Are all of you completely ready?"
After sleeping, Yoichi does his thing early and goes to the dining room, only to be surprised at their enthusiastic approach to the trial. Not knowing the implications was entirely Yoichi's shortcoming.
"Of course, we are prepared for this! Still, can we get a clue before these trials start?" Satomi was brimming with confidence while all of his wives also nodded in optimism and eagerness, waiting for Yoichi's hint of a small clue, just a tiny bit...
"Don't worry about trivial details, I will downright give them to all of you! But first, I will state the conditions of the trial before we begin."
*1st. Your mentality should be relatively fine since some of the trial-takers, the bitches of the cosmos, got mentally insane because of my harsh trial. All credits for the Akashic Records.
*2nd. Your memories of yourself in your current world will be sealed temporarily. It was a self-preservation designed by Akashic to read my thoughts and get to understand me, Yoichi Murakami. All of you must know me without knowing me, sounds foolish but Akashic's rules.
*3rd. To complete the whole trial, solve the trial's problem and see the faint indications Akashic left in the trial. Now, this is an entirely useful rule since it partially unlocks your memories and mysterious powers inside the trial. Then, you could solve the trial's problem easily and look for my signs.
*4th. You could stop and retake the trial infinite times. This is the problem of the bitches since they have a limited lifespan but the trial is open all the time. They couldn't get my inklings inside the trail because they didn't have any connections to me. Fortunately, all of you maintain some connections to me, making you immortal and completing the trial in the Pure Land. What a huge advantage.
"That's about it. Any questions in mind? I am sure you have a lot of inquiries, take your time."
After establishing the conditions, Yoichi munched his food slowly and looked at their narrowed eyebrows in amusement and thrill.
'It will take them far too long to finish the trial. Those who tried to take advantage of my generosity... Some of them died even though they could live for billions of years... Some of them were smart enough to give up... And some of them tried to get closer to me and attempt to kill me, just like a form of surprise element!'
"What about the clues?" Maki frowned and glared at him, completely serious about the trial. She felt vulnerable and unsubstantial human earlier ever since the gruesome battle happened. Maki wanted to get stronger than ever before and she would beat up this smug smile of her husband after she finished the so-called impossible trial herself.
"Before I tell you the clues, you all must remember that all of your memories will be sealed for a short time. Therefore, the first clue was Deja Vu... Akashic, can you tell us about Deja Vu? I can't seem to explain this phenomenon in simpler terms."
[Understood.]
[Deja Vu is the feeling of having already experienced a situation, even though it's happening for the first time]
[In more detail. You feel like you've been in a particular place or witnessed a specific event before, even if you know you haven't.]
"Thank you, google. It is a common sensation in the human brain yet it is not a superpower. Once you find that first clue, it will somewhat unlock the mystical gifts I gave you."
"The second clue was my yin-yang earrings symbol, remember this design because it will be another clue to know who I am. The last clue was quite simple: save innocent people. That's all."
Yoichi explained the trial's clues and looked at them, absorbing the important knowledge and nodding continuously, like a pecking chicken.
"... Can we meet in the trial? I mean, unexpected encounters with each other?" Yoru inquired about her particular question and looked at Yoichi's stunned expression.
"I'm surprised you thought about that! Yes, you could. However, only Maki, Satomi, and Nobara could meet in their trials since it was connected to their counterparts' world." Yoichi's sentence in the first half made the shine in good faith until his second sentence came through, a little dejected.
"As for Yoru, Yuki, and Makima... They are in their trials. Don't worry, the trials are still the same. No difficulty mode goes up into a hardcore mode."
Three connected people heaved a sigh of ease while Yoru, Yuki, and Makima felt even more determined to finish the trial with an encouraging smile.
"Now, can we begin?"
All of his wives looked at each other and nodded.
"Then, activate the earrings and say 'Trial Start!'"
"What?! So these pair of earrings had certain functions?" All of them were shocked and their synchronized voices rang in the dining room.
"Of course, it has those features! Although it was pretty aesthetic and uniquely designed, I never developed some artifacts that don't hold powers. It was my Ultimate Artifacts, you know? Ultimate!"
All of them nodded in reply.
"...What about those women from your universe? Did they have these things too?" Maki was curious about those bitches of the galaxy while the others were in agreement.
'Of all the questions you need to ask, this is in your brain? What about the functions? The intricately powerful design? The features?'
"Bias! I have preferential treatment and I can't escape that cumbersome quagmire. I have some high-quality needs and wants, after all."
Yoichi coughed lightly while all of them chuckled at his antics. Seemingly, they are greatly loved by the foolish idiot in front of them. Their husband was one of a kind and becoming more human being than they anticipated.
"Okay, start the trials! Let's talk about the features after you finish the trials. Heck, you will understand the functions of the earrings in no time! So please, ladies, would you like to start the trials or not?"
"Trial Start!" X7
In an instant, all of them simultaneously activated the earrings, giving the earrings a bluish glow and sucking them into the appeared to be an alternate reality. His wives fell into a sleep state while Yoichi took his time and delivered them into a room.
"Oh, shit! I forgot all of their injuries during the trial will be passed on to their spiritual soul. A soul-tearing sensation. Teehee! My bad!" Yoichi knocked his head and stuck his tongue out in a comedic tone. Maybe the women will have to mentally endure the excruciating pain.
Akashic was connected to their counterparts' world and the task of interconnected cosmic linking was quite an easy mission for the book. Moreover, Yoichi was engrossed in these anime concepts and jotted them down in his book, granting effortless access to the counterparts' worlds.
Spy X Family World = low-level world.
Akame Ga Kill World = nearly medium-level world.
Chainsaw Man World = medium-level world.
Jujutsu Kaisen World = a pretty high-level world.
These are all based on their fandoms, also known as their faith in each world. Emotional attachments in an anime world were the only thing that world was connected to the real world, Earth. These emotions were the fuels or energy blocks of the world to fully function as a well-known world.
Reputation as a popular world was the key factor in harvesting emotions and accumulating these emotions to build such a massive fandom. Huge fandoms meant an easy way to farm such sentiments, opinions, ideas, and notions.
Negative or positive. Anything could be energy. From creative and imaginative emotions to pure madness and monstrosity. Anything.
That's why Yoichi doesn't need to worry since these worlds his wives were in the trial were pretty popular in common belief. Spy X Family? Wholesome show with some action. Akame ga Kill? Oh no, Yoichi doesn't want to remember. Chainsaw Man? Devils and lots of jam-packed action. Jujutsu Kaisen? Go/Jo and Boogie Woogie.
The Bizarre Lands was a creative and fascinating cosmic filled with a bunch of universes known to humanity. It is purely built by humanity's consciousness without them knowing their intricate creations and earlier thought to be figments of imagination. All to be a passage of escaping reality itself, the 9-to-5 job, comparing mother, and abusive parents.
In the meantime, Yoichi doesn't want them to have an existential crisis in the early stage of gaining power. This big and shocking reveal needed some time to be slowly unearthed before showing the truth about the creation and life outside their world.
Seeing their peaceful sleep, Yoichi took care of the children and snuggled them inside his embrace. His delicate daughters and son were beaming with a radiant glow and appeared to be satisfied with their spot in their father's embrace.
Harumi and Midori slept in his cozy arms with little hands holding each other while Kenshin was reaching for Yoichi's face, patting and pinching his face with a little strength.
Yoichi's smile was gentle and content on his part as their father and the pillar of the house. All seemed to be superficial and trivial once he saw his children sleeping and comfortable in peace.
Therefore, he delicately laid down his children back in their cribs and assigned a shadow to call him whenever the mothers or the children woke up.
After that, he went into his training domain and deeply thought about one thing: Yin-Yang Release!
