Chapter 578: Chapter 578
A month had passed since Kanzaki Rei arrived in the second timeline.
By this point, in his original timeline, the origin should have already been reshaped.
During this period, Kanzaki Rei had been studying the origin and raising his levels together with Izparalt at a kingdom’s magic academy.
The primordial forbidden magic—Time.
Izparalt had naturally mastered it as well. Accepting the magical knowledge Kanzaki Rei brought from the other timeline had sparked many new lines of thought in him.
Because magic gods already existed, the path to becoming one was now closed.
Regarding the origin...
Combining the understanding of the origin from both worlds had formed a new answer.
Yet this answer was not as perfect as imagined.
If the origin of the original timeline was like ten miles missing one, that missing piece might have been left behind in this timeline.
But after integrating the knowledge from this side,
they discovered...
Even after supplementing it, something was still missing.
If before it had been ten miles missing one, after adding this side it became one part missing from a hundred million.
The imperfection was extremely minute.
So small it was almost impossible to detect.
One could even ignore it, pay it no mind, or simply believe in one’s mind that it did not exist, and the origin would be perfect and flawless.
However...
Izparalt believed that was unacceptable.
On another note, under the enhancement of the Supreme Luck Scepter, Kanzaki Rei had accumulated a considerable stockpile of forging materials in this world.
The third divine artifact, [Skin Peel], and the fourth, [Soul Severing Chains], had both been forged.
Unfortunately, the divine artifact seen through the laws of "Ahekator" and "Nahelkato" was [Reverse Time]—a unique divine artifact now held by Ahekator.
Kanzaki Rei could not forge this one.
At present, he possessed a total of six divine artifacts.
The Book of Answers and Fate—these two books fell into the category of divine artifacts.
The other combat and enhancement-type divine artifacts were [Supreme Luck Scepter], [Imperial Sword], [Skin Peel], and [Soul Severing Chains].
The [Skin Peel] dagger could directly strip away an enemy’s outer skin upon cutting their body, simultaneously peeling off the vast majority of their abilities and authorities.
If a skin-taker donned that skin, they could obtain the corresponding abilities and authorities.
[Soul Severing Chains] could completely lock down an entire area, causing the physical bodies within that region to vanish and leaving only souls to fight.
When combined with Kanzaki Rei’s own talent, Soul Dominion,
it could almost achieve instant death by soul severance on the spot.
According to Ahekator,
even a true, complete god would find it difficult to simply preserve their life before his current self.
After all, ordinary gods might not even possess a single divine artifact.
An eighth-tier job-changer with divine artifacts could at least contend briefly with some deities.
Yet Kanzaki Rei not only possessed the strength to easily suppress eighth-tiers but also directly held four combat-oriented divine artifacts. His power had long surpassed what ordinary gods could measure.
By the kingdom’s pond, Nahelkato held a fishing rod, patiently waiting for a bite.
"Kanzaki Rei."
He appeared silently from the side.
"Hmm?"
Kanzaki Rei: "There’s actually something I’ve never asked you about."
Nahelkato continued staring quietly at the fishing line without turning. "Then why do you want to ask now?"
"Because I feel it’s something that should be asked."
"Go ahead."
Kanzaki Rei: "You said this timeline originally existed. Then why is the difference between here and the other side so vast?"
"There are no Moons here."
"Very few gods have been born, and there are no nest lords."
"While this place resembles the other side... the more closely one looks, the greater the disparity becomes."
Nahelkato: "Mm..."
"So you noticed."
Nahelkato turned to meet Kanzaki Rei’s gaze. His pupils were deep, the irises resembling spiraling staircases. Simply looking into his eyes felt like entering a labyrinth of knowledge.
[Level 7 Cryptologist]
One month had been enough for Kanzaki Rei to level up.
Level 7 Warrior, Level 7 Cryptologist, Level 7 Death Priest, Level 6 Mage, Level 6 Blacksmith, Level 6 Alchemist, Level 6 Enchanter, Level 4 Prophet.
This was Kanzaki Rei now.
"Kanzaki Rei, I must say... your presence grows more intimidating by the day."
"As expected of the aggregate of all spiritual branches."
Even as a ninth-tier time controller, Nahelkato felt an overpowering aura from him. The spiritual essence overflowing from Kanzaki Rei surged like mountains and seas.
If an ordinary person’s spirituality was a single grain of rice, then Kanzaki Rei’s was a colossal mountain whose peak could not be seen.
If an ordinary person opposed him now,
even without Kanzaki Rei taking any action, the sheer pressure of his spirituality alone would be enough to knock them unconscious.
"The answer to this matter is actually not complicated."
"And it’s not that I’ve been hiding anything from you."
"This phenomenon is called the collapse of history."
Nahelkato was about to continue explaining clearly when her words suddenly halted.
Her pupils contracted.
Her gaze passed through Kanzaki Rei, looking toward the distant sky behind him!
An ivory-haired girl tore open a rift in time, stepping across vast temporal distances to appear on the horizon.
The moment she appeared,
ripples spread through all things in the world, fluctuating like an unstable pendulum!
Clang!
Her arrogant, contemptuous eyes looked down upon the world.
Her divine sense swept across the entire world in an instant.
Kanzaki Rei saw the shock on Nahelkato’s face and whipped his head around. The moment he turned, his eyes met Ahekator’s directly!
Nahelkato cried out in disbelief: "Impossible—how could she come here?"
