I Gain a God-Tier Talent Every Level

Chapter 564

Kanzaki Rei’s arrival carried no attempt at concealment whatsoever...

It was an arrival brimming with killing intent.

Boom!

The moment it sensed Kanzaki Rei’s arrival, a sharp icicle burst up from beneath the earth! It shot skyward, piercing into the clouds!

An instant after piercing the clouds,

The entire earth instantly froze solid!

Kurushūru of Ice.

"Human, what is the meaning of this?"

"There should be no grievances between us. Why do you bear such intense hostility toward me?"

High above, infinite cold had already condensed in the sky, all of it aimed at Kanzaki Rei!

Kanzaki Rei also felt a chill rising within his body.

This cold should have frozen Kanzaki Rei completely—frozen solid the moment they laid eyes on each other, sealed for eternity, never to be released. Yet this law was blocked by Kanzaki Rei’s talent.

And the other party’s freezing had also failed to lock down all the space in the world.

Even a god... could not always achieve perfection.

If she couldn’t freeze every possible space, then even without Kanzaki Rei’s 「God-Tier · Inviolable by All Laws」 talent, it would have been difficult for her to harm him.

As Kanzaki Rei walked forward, the Supreme Luck Scepter in his hand spun like a combat baton.

"You think there aren’t any, but there actually are."

Kurushūru’s perception continuously swept across every part of Kanzaki Rei’s body...

The clothes on his body—are those a divine artifact?

The scabbard at his back—the sword inside, is that the legendary Emperor’s Sword?

That scepter...

Kurushūru could sense a faint divine artifact aura from the scepter as well, but she couldn’t tell what kind of divine artifact it was.

She would have to be careful.

Kurushūru’s heart was filled with vigilance.

Not every god possessed a divine artifact. In fact, the vast majority of gods in this world did not own their own divine artifacts.

At least, those of them who had failed to obtain a second divine throne—

They most likely had not acquired divine artifacts.

And in this era, the only one capable of forging divine artifacts was, practically speaking, Yaramochi.

"What grievances? You might as well speak them."

"Perhaps there is a misunderstanding between us."

Kanzaki Rei merely smiled faintly.

Boom!

He was about to strike directly—

But suddenly, he saw the frozen space shatter completely. The entire forbidden zone divine kingdom crumbled apart in that instant.

"What... happened?"

Kurushūru’s eyes widened. Her frozen wings and her body of pure ice were now exposed to the outside world.

Kanzaki Rei was also somewhat stunned.

This... wasn’t something Kanzaki Rei had done.

But the next second, he immediately realized what had occurred. This was Perfection of Order!

These Old Gods’ divine kingdoms had been lingering here far too long.

They had been hiding in the Boundless Mountains to evade the pursuit of the world’s rules. In the Boundless Mountains, the world’s laws were incomplete, so by exploiting these gaps, they could carve out a place to survive.

Yet at the same time, the Boundless Mountains had always remained part of the world.

The Boundless Mountains as a whole simply had incomplete rules. Imagine the outside world as a sack—the Boundless Mountains were like an extremely fine mesh, always with gaps to slip through.

But in this very moment—

All the chaotic laws of the Boundless Mountains had coincidentally aligned. By sheer chance, the world’s laws in this region had become completely perfected.

And perfected laws—

Were a fatal blow to these Old Gods’ divine kingdoms!

This wasn’t a Truly complete divine kingdom to begin with. These残破 divine kingdoms were essentially left exposed...

Kurushūru had been discovered by the world!

Whoosh!

Kanzaki Rei didn’t pause for even an instant. In the blink of an eye, he was already right before Kurushūru’s eyes!

「Sōdō — Path Nine: Time Acceleration」

Kurushūru’s time flow slowed to a crawl, while Kanzaki Rei moved within accelerated time!

Within the acceleration,

All of Kanzaki Rei’s time-based counters also accelerated!

The Ascend to the Heavens Realm continued to layer upon layer!

Originally, the time counter for the Ascend to the Heavens Realm was calculated based on the world’s standard time. Even if Kanzaki Rei accelerated or decelerated his own time, the stacking power, stacking damage reduction, acquisition of time-stop opportunities, law Reduction and so forth—all of it was calculated according to the normal flow of time.

But now,

Kanzaki Rei had fused Time Forbidden Magic with the Ascend to the Heavens Realm to a certain degree.

This allowed him to higher layers of the Ascend to the Heavens Realm in a shorter amount of time.

In less than half a second, Kanzaki Rei had already gained his first time-stop opportunity!

Click!

Within the stopped time, the duration of the stopped scale was also extended.

Originally, he could only pause time for one second, moving within that single second. But now, Kanzaki Rei could move within it for ten full seconds.

Pfft!

「Sōdō — Path Two: Universal Unravelment」

Countless unravelings converged upon a single point. The Emperor’s Sword thrust forward in a straight line!

Boom!

The Emperor’s Sword pierced through Kurushūru’s body. The entire blade was already completely coated in ice!

Within the stopped time, the ice even traveled upward, about to freeze Kanzaki Rei’s hand!

But Kanzaki Rei severed his own right hand.

Interrupting the freezing!

Her freezing is incredibly strong...

If he had fought her in normal time flow, he would either have to rely on Inviolable by All Laws to endure, or the moment he made contact, his physical body would have been instantly frozen into pure ice.

But the Emperor’s Sword had pierced through her body.

At the same time, behind Kanzaki Rei, the Porter had already emerged.

「God-Tier · Death Spirit Reincarnation — One With Me」

Every death spirit that is revived comes from this talent. This talent is also an演化 of part of my very self. Therefore, the death spirit and I should be one.

Naturally, it should also enjoy the effects of the Ascend to the Heavens Realm.

Able to act within stopped time.

However...

Kanzaki Rei had not fully perfected this law, so the Porter’s movements within stopped time were still somewhat stilted.

But ten seconds.

Was truly too Ample.

Especially when the enemy’s divine kingdom had been breached.

「Soul Divine Authority · Shared Soul of This Life: Every living being that comes into contact with oneself will transform into one’s own soul.」

Whoosh!

Within Kurushūru’s spiritual sea of consciousness,

An invisible hand reached for the soul formed of infinite ice!

This hand should have been frozen.

The Ice God—even her spiritual sea was pure ice. Anything that entered should have been frozen.

Yet...

With time stopped, the state of matter could not change.

Kurushūru’s defense of her spiritual sea, after all, could not match that of a god who truly specialized in spiritual seas.

In an instant, her entire spiritual sea became empty.

The ice receded. Her consciousness began to dissipate!

Meanwhile, Kanzaki Rei, from the outside, rained blow after blow upon Kurushūru!

Click—

At the ninth second—

Boom!

Suddenly, the sound of space-time shattering exploded!

Kurushūru felt her consciousness violently plummet. Her perception crumbled. She could no longer see anything clearly.

And her divine power refused to Cohesion.

She wanted to fight to the death—

But couldn’t even find the strength for a final desperate struggle.

Her perception could barely see her own body. What she saw was a body like a hedgehog, riddled with weapons of all kinds stuck into her. And at the very center of her chest—

Was the Emperor’s Sword.
