Main Synopsis: The Gamer System holds an unimaginable level of potential, which if used right, one can even step beyond Godhood. Beyond God. Out of desperation, that is exactly what his goal became once he somehow got his hands on the Gamer System...
Arima frowned in confusion as she looked at him. Tsunade on the other hand looked at the other girls' reactions first. They had turned to Neji to look at him with wide eyes, and they looked hopeful as well. So she judged he wasn't lying about his heaven— and frankly, Tsunade had accepted he wasn't more of a Deity than a human already. So she sighed and shook her head.
"I see. So you have your own heaven as well." She said. "Oh well, go ahead, do what you must. Weird how you ask me about such a thing at all." Tsunade said, making him smile like an idiot, which in turn made Tsunade smile. "Now, now, don't give me that weird smile. Just do what you must."
Neji nodded and looked around. The girls had their attention on him entirely, along with Tsunade and the few of the villagers who had heard of their conversation— but most others were dazed, their spirits too broken to care about whatever was going on around here.
"Yue, come with me." Neji said, making Yue nod as she leapt from Tsunade's lap, making the older woman blink in surprise, before she followed Neji to walk over to an empty spot. "I will need your and Kurai's help since I have never done this before. Watch my back, okay?"
Yue nodded with an 'Un!', while Neji channelled his will to summon Kurai in his shoulders.
Kurai was gulping on a small fish, and at the sudden summon, almost choked on it. When she regained her senses, she looked at Neji disapprovingly.
"Sorry."
"Grr," Kurai purred. "Oh, wow, look who it is. Let me guess, you need me for something again." Her eyes looked around briefly, realising it was Konoha before she looked back at him. "You summon me only when you need something from me. What a great father."
Neji immediately felt guilty, making the cat scoff since she could feel his emotions. "Whatever. I see you are a God now. Finally worthy to be my papa. What do you need from me this time?"
Neji sighed. "I am sorry for neglecting you. I will make up for it, okay?" she nodded after a while. "As for why I brought you here. As you can see, this is what is left of Konoha. Around eighty-thousand people lived here, and more than 99% of them died."
Kurai nodded. "Okay. But you know since I lost most of my levels, I therefore lost my divinities as well, right? Though I did reach up to Level 531 recently and gained [Anti-Life] again... but that can't help you revive them."
"I don't need your help on that," Neji shook his head. "I am going to summon their souls. You will help me hold the souls back from escaping to this world's underworld. Yue will support you too. Okay?"
"Oh?" Kurai tilted her head as her ears twitched. "So there is an underworld here. No wonder I have been feeling the gaze of someone with death divinity for a while now. Probably the death God of this place. Grr, go ahead, Papa, I will do my best."
Neji smiled, cuddling her cheeks with his for a moment before he activated Jōgan. His sclera became black and his pupils shone bright blue. Then he chanted, "‹King of Hell›", as a huge spiritual head popped out of the ground. Nobody except for Neji and Kurai seemed to be seeing it. Then Neji chanted once more, "‹Gedo Art of Rinne Rebirth›"
The spiritual head of King of the Hell opened its mouth, and a second later countless souls— thousands upon thousands of them, flew out of its opened jaw. Neji materialised his (now heavenly) planet in front of him, looking like a ball of cloud. Yue was already at work, but Kurai was busy transforming. Her size didn't increase, but her golden eyes shone while orange lines spread to her body. Then she used her authority to help Yue guide all the souls toward the planet.
The King of Hell didn't hold these souls inside it, it rather sucked the souls out of the land that its lower body was buried into and then let those souls come out of its mouth. So he couldn't have done this while staying on the Heavenly Planet. Also, it could only get the souls that have died in the prior 24 hours. Everyone watched as the souls, blobs of green light, rushed in Neji's direction.
Most of the souls were quiet, but some made horrific sounds. Some had faces that were recognised by the people around, while some didn't. Everyone watched as the souls were guided inside the ball of cloud by Kurai's authority. Seconds become minutes and around three minutes later, all of the souls that had died in the last 24 hours had found their ways inside the ball that was heaven.
"Haaah~" Kurai whimpered as she returned to normal, falling limply on Neji's shoulders. "That was tiring."
Neji apologised to her once more, rubbing her cheeks with his– yet right then, he disappeared along with her.
One moment he was there, the next moment he was gone.
"Huh?" Amongst the girls, Temari blinked first. "What the hell happened? Hey, loli, you know what happened?"

Neji and Kurai reappeared in a dark throne room, where he clearly wasn't teleported willingly. He was forcefully brought here by... the being in front of him.

The beautiful woman with glossy black hair and bright green eyes was decorated with gold as she wore nothing more than a thin black bra and panties, with a cape leaving her shoulders. She rested calmly on her throne, one leg above another, as she looked down on Neji with a bored expression.
"First my Avatar Hidan," the woman's lips moved softly as her ethereal voice sounded out. "Now souls that were supposed to be mine. You are playing with death, my child." The Goddess Jashin spoke as her red eyes gleamed. "It may cost you things you can't afford to lose."
