Chapter 567

Die?

I had already chosen to submit, so why must I still die?

Such a thought flashed through its mind, but in the next instant, it realized its body could no longer move at all.

Its entire body was already completely frozen.

Finally, it realized it needed to resist!

But then suddenly, it saw a ghostly face before it—the Porter’s ghostly face, right in front of it.

Its soul was being ripped away.

...

Kanzaki Rei turned his back and walked away into the distance.

"You’re curious why I killed you, aren’t you."

The spiral creature watched Kanzaki Rei’s retreating back. It didn’t even know when it had been struck, when it had been suppressed.

By all logic,

The gap between beings of the same tier and level shouldn’t be this enormous.

Even if it were to die under the siege of these gods, it should at least have been able to put up some resistance.

But why...

And besides, it had already chosen to submit to him—why did he still want it dead?

Did it have no value at all?

It possessed intelligence. It also knew that Tier 9 magic beasts, Tier 9 professional, and gods were all extremely powerful and important existences in this world.

Even if he wanted to kill it,

There should have been a process of interrogation...

But Kanzaki Rei asked nothing. Did nothing.

Confusion filled its heart, but the distant back offered no explanation.

...

[Moon Sea — Land of the Crescent Moon]

Kanzaki Rei strolled out of the Boundless Mountains with ease, returning to the Land of the Crescent Moon in a single step.

He had killed six gods and one Tier 9 magic beast.

His strength had grown considerably again.

And...

Kanzaki Rei raised his hand and manifested a blueprint.

[Divine Artifact Blueprint]

Now, on this divine artifact blueprint, even more divine artifacts could be crafted. By observing the laws of these gods, Kanzaki Rei could manifest their laws into divine artifacts.

"Truly powerful... divine artifacts. It would be even better if I could forge a few more."

Whoosh——

As Kanzaki Rei walked and pondered,

He passed through a corridor, crossed a garden, and then arrived at the Mage Tower.

He looked up. Yuna was teaching Suenari in his stead.

Kanzaki Rei glanced toward Lotdan’s direction as well.

Lotdan was still yawning on his throne.

As for Luluvia, she was about thirty billion kilometers away, practicing her archery techniques.

Her archery required daily, repetitive training.

Constantly improving her proficiency—unlike Kanzaki Rei, who could max out instantly.

And Shumi and Eliosa were her practice partners.

Eliosa, Shumi, and Luluvia were all sparring.

"Hmm..."

It looked like Luluvia was about to win.

Another step, and Kanzaki Rei was beside Yuna.

"Master!"

Suenari was still studying Origin Magic.

More precisely, he was trying to merge Origin Magic with his own talent. His talent allowed him to continuously evolve a specific spell, Deduction it to the point where it could even surpass the power of Primeval Forbidden Magic.

But the process of Deduction and evolution was also very long.

And there was no guarantee it would truly reach the level of Primeval Forbidden Magic... The lower limit of this talent wasn’t particularly low, but the upper limit, in the end, depended on the individual mage’s own effort.

"Master, you seem to be in a good mood."

Kanzaki Rei couldn’t help but smile faintly. Say what you will, this kid was especially good at reading people’s expressions.

In front of Suenari, Kanzaki Rei never kept a stern face.

An expressionless face was for enemies.

With his own disciple, Kanzaki Rei didn’t keep his guard up quite so tightly.

"Yeah, not bad."

Yuna quietly moved a little closer to Kanzaki Rei and asked in a low voice: "Kanzaki Rei, has something good happened?"

"Yuna, you’re a Savant. Why don’t you take a guess?"

Yuna’s eyes shifted.

Her gaze also swept across the various details of Kanzaki Rei’s body. When she looked at certain places, she couldn’t help but blush slightly.

But soon, that flush of color gradually faded.

"Did you find a new answer in your thoughts on magic?"

Hearing this response, Kanzaki Rei couldn’t help but give a wry smile: "That one, no."

"Then it must be an increase in strength?" Yuna guessed again.

Kanzaki Rei: "Mm, you could say that."

Strictly speaking, Kanzaki Rei’s own strength hadn’t grown significantly. The power all came from the death spirits he had just killed.

"By the way... Yuna."

"About what I mentioned to you a few days ago."

Yuna: "Mm, about establishing a nation, right... I’ve looked into it for you over the past few days. The materials needed for founding a nation and a religion."

"You’ve done so much in the Boundless Mountains, saving countless lives from生死."

"I think they will all believe in you."

"I’ve also Filtered suitable administrators for you..." Yuna said softly.

Having a Savant to handle matters certainly made things much easier.

Kanzaki Rei didn’t have the Savant Profession

Although he could rehearsal the future, he couldn’t know everything in the world. And he really couldn’t be bothered to rehearsal trivial little matters.

There were already too many important events that needed rehearsal

"Mm. Do everything as you suggest."

"Oh, and also—the Reversion Ceremony. I’ve prepared it over the past few days as well."

Kanzaki Rei: "Mm, I know."

The Reversion Ceremony.

A ritual that turned people who had been transformed into magic beasts back into humans.

In other words, it should be a ritual that could be used on his parents.

But after returning from the Room of Answers, knowing that the people on Earth were not strictly speaking human, but a special kind of magic beast—

The feasibility of this ritual became questionable.

However, Kanzaki Rei repeatedly verified it several times across multiple rehearsal, and the final answer was... it would work.

The ritual Yuna had been searching for all these ten years on his behalf—it was usable.

"It’s ready... then."

Kanzaki Rei’s tone couldn’t help but carry a slight tremble.

Then Kanzaki Rei laughed at himself.

Why am I trembling?

I’ve seen so many storms. Explored the secrets of the Origin Source. Killed gods. I’ve even stood at the center of the world, affecting its balance.

Yet something like this makes my heart unsteady?

Honestly...

Kanzaki Rei’s perception looked toward a bracelet inside his Solo World.

This was the spatial container he had protected best. Throughout every battle he had endured, he had kept the bracelet safe from any harm whatsoever.

"Then... let’s begin."

Kanzaki Rei crouched down slightly and patted Suenari’s head. "Suenari, your train of thought is very good. That’s excellent progress. I’m sure you still have many questions in your mind, but your master truly has more pressing matters today."

"The next time I have free time, I’ll come back and answer those questions for you."

Kanzaki Rei stood up straight and said to Yuna: "Let’s go."

...

[Nest of Aberration — Ninth Level Nest]

The sea of flesh convulsed. Waves churned and rolled. The entire world wailed in sorrow. The flesh covering the whole world wept streams of crimson blood. It was howling wildly!

"Dead?"

"How could you die?"

"You just went out on a mission—how could you die? Who in this world could kill you?"

"Now that you’re dead, who in this world is left who is my kin?"

"My lord—who killed it? Tell me! I will avenge it!"
