noveldepot Chapter 565
Chapter 565
Why... of all times, did her divine kingdom have to shatter now?
Kurushūru couldn’t understand.
But truly, she no longer had the chance to understand.
Kanzaki Rei had struck first.
And without her divine kingdom’s Blessing, already a broken body to begin with—
She could no longer fight back.
...
Whoosh!
A soul wind swept across the sky. The Porter had taken away the very last remnants of Kurushūru’s soul.
"That was... unexpectedly easy."
Kanzaki Rei’s expression was calm.
In truth, in his Rehearsal, this battle should have been extremely perilous.
Kanzaki Rei himself wouldn’t have been in too much danger.
But if he fought her, she would almost always manage to take the Porter down with her at the end.
Shamelessly shouting: "This is the final brilliance of my existence—freeze everything!"
And then, just as shamelessly, freeze absolutely everything.
The most shameless part was—
Kanzaki Rei had also thought about catching her wind-up, running away before her desperate last stand could go off. But this thing’s freezing even froze the one second before and one second after all things.
When she unleashed this move, even if you dodged—even if you fled to the ends of the sky, to the farthest corner of the world—you would still be frozen. Once frozen, you could be caught directly. Once caught, instant kill.
Kanzaki Rei wasn’t afraid of her killing him—Kurushūru couldn’t truly kill him.
But the Porter, which he had worked so hard to obtain, would die.
...
And now,
This battle had become far easier because of certain lucky events.
It had gone from a grueling fight to a steamroll—instant kill.
"Is it really that powerful?"
Kanzaki Rei glanced again at the scepter floating beside him.
Shhh——
As he pondered, another shadow rose up behind him. A death spirit like an icicle, with wings of black ice spreading from its back, emerged.
「Death Spirit · God · Kurushūru of Ice」
Whoosh!
The moment Kurushūru’s wings fully unfolded, a pure ice divine kingdom also expanded completely!
The Kurushūru behind Kanzaki Rei was no longer a Residual defects
She was a complete form, unbound by the world’s rules.
Kanzaki Rei could feel it—Kurushūru’s power was far greater than the Porter’s... In her prime during her lifetime, she had been a far stronger existence than the Porter.
Although she was a pure elemental god,
In truth, as the Ice Divine Throne, she could be described as both offensive and defensive. She had mechanics, and she had raw stats.
Aside from freezing, she had no particularly outstanding traits,
But she also had almost no major weaknesses.
Completely different from that fragile Soul God, who could be killed with a single burst.
"Welcome. You’re one of us now." Kanzaki Rei patted Kurushūru’s wing, his face full of satisfaction.
"And then..."
"On to the next one."
...
[Nest of Aberration]
"That woman... has she left already?" A vast sea of flesh covered the entire nest. Every inch of its body was mutating every moment. Its body was so enormous it could already be called a world.
If Kanzaki Rei had known where Yakatikutō’s coins had gone back then, he would have recognized this creature right away.
This was the magic beast that had insulted Yakatikutō in the Rehearsal timeline.
Whoosh!
A spiral-shaped being, like a strand of Gene, stood atop the massive sea of flesh with a grace that humans would find hard to imagine.
"You ask about a woman?"
"Are you talking about that Kuronium?"
"Who else could it be!"
The gene-spiral magic beast responded calmly: "Yes, she left. She took the Seed of the Wisdom Tree from us."
"The Seed of the Wisdom Tree?"
"Why give it to her? How could you give away something so important!"
The spiral being’s tone was very calm: "Don’t be so irritable all the time. This was agreed upon."
"Agreed? Did you make a contract?"
"No."
"Contracts are invalid on us. You should know that."
"Then why give it to her? What would happen if you just didn’t give it to her?"
The spiral being said quietly: "If we are to become the rulers of this world in the future, we must also pay attention to one thing—credibility."
"Credibility? That dogshit concept for the weak?"
The gene-spiral being’s gaze clearly turned resentful, but looking at the sky-filling sea of flesh, it knew there was no point in arguing with it.
Its mind contained only mutation, mutation, mutation—keep mutating forever.
Talking about civilization with it was useless.
So it responded perfunctorily: "This is the master’s will."
"I need to go out for a while..."
"There are some matters I need to discuss."
The sea of flesh that covered the entire world then spoke in a voice that shook heaven and earth: "Where are you going?! I want to go too! This world can no longer contain me! I want to go! I want to get out!"
However—
The gene-spiral being grew a mouth on its spiral part. It raised a finger to its lips in a shushing gesture: "If you go out so ostentatiously, aren’t you afraid of running into some Tier 9职业者 who’ll slaughter you?"
"Tier 9 professional? Why should I fear them?"
The spiral didn’t answer. It simply swayed its rotating tendrils: "My trip out is for covert operations."
"Your physical body is too large. Stay here."
"Be careful not to displease the master, or you may be forbidden from mutating ever again."
The entire world-spanning sea of flesh visibly shuddered. It no longer insisted. It only said quietly: "Fine. You call the shots..."
The spiral nodded.
Then it drilled into the sea of flesh like a boring tool, its body disappearing.
...
[Boundless Mountains]
A being wearing a trench coat and a cowboy hat, its face concealed, appeared before a forbidden zone.
It looked up at the forbidden zone.
But found it completely empty.
"Gone?"
"How can that be?"
Whoosh——
Then, its body gradually sank into the ground... Not long after, at another forbidden zone hundreds of light-years away, it slowly spiraled up from the earth.
At the same time, its perception swept across the area before it.
"Gone again."
The forbidden zone before it was also empty.
An eerie Premonition spread through its heart.
This wasn’t normal.
These Old Gods, though no longer at their peak strength—even so, they were still gods. Not something the stray cats and dogs of this world could afford to mess with.
Only Tier 9 professional, Tier 9 magic beasts, or other gods could kill them.
But even if they could kill them... it would come at a steep price.
If these Old Gods fought to the death, they could absolutely make their opponents pay a惨烈 price.
Even if they couldn’t achieve a complete one-for-one trade, they could at least cripple their opponent.
Did such a person exist in this world?
Whoosh!
It Drilling again, emerged again...
But every forbidden zone it saw was nothing but devastated ruins. All traces of battle had been erased by some unknown, mysterious means—erased so completely that no clues or origins could be found.
But the only thing known was—
These Old Gods, whom it had been sent to find and negotiate with—every last one of them, without exception... had had their forbidden zones broken and had vanished without a trace.
And once these Old Gods lost the protection of their forbidden zones,
Their only fate went without saying.
