Chapter 585
One month was enough time for him to grow how strong...
Kanzaki Rei himself was not entirely sure. He only knew that he had now completely integrated and mastered everything he had learned before, despite its complexity.
Dealing with Ahekator had indeed been extremely taxing.
But...
Dealing with these [Gods]
Buzz—
「Warrior Talent — Fusion God-Tier · Supreme Apex Realm」
After acquiring the 「God-Tier · Invulnerable to All Laws」 talent, Kanzaki Rei had already begun considering the fusion of his talents.
Even earlier than that, through his comprehension of the Dao, he had expanded the originally limited god-tier talents by integrating them into his Cang Dao techniques, allowing them to function across a far broader scope.
Obtaining Invulnerable to All Laws allowed Kanzaki Rei to perceive laws in a far more materialized form.
It turned the intangible into the tangible, making fusion much simpler.
Therefore,
after this "month" of grueling cultivation,
his god-tier talents had also been successfully fused.
Of course... while only one month had passed in the outside world, exactly how much time had truly elapsed while training beside Nahelkato—a ninth-tier time controller—only Kanzaki Rei knew.
Buzz—
Time came to a halt.
「Warrior Talent — Fusion God-Tier · Supreme Apex Realm」
「Billionfold increase in physical strength, undying and unkillable regeneration, foresight of future dangers, extreme realm of myriad divine senses, perpetual pinnacle battle intent, listening to the ten thousand Daos, the untouchable principle.」
Reaching the heaven-ascending apex realm no longer required being in or out of combat.
Walking within stopped time no longer needed any other prerequisites.
With Ahekator gone,
Kanzaki Rei could even claim that he himself was the controller of time—he was the Time God.
If one carefully examined Kanzaki Rei’s body,
they would find that every single cell of his flesh had been refined to a radiant degree. It was as if each cell contained mountains and seas within it. A single drop of his blood could lift a planet as majestic as the sun.
In Kanzaki Rei’s ears,
the insights of all those who had ever walked the Dao throughout history echoed constantly, transforming those insights into one of his own ten thousand Daos.
Kanzaki Rei felt he was very close to the level of a Moon, yet had not quite reached it.
But against the [Old Gods] before him,
strolling through stopped time,
he could see future dangers—unless the opponent concealed time, manipulated time, fate, or cause and effect.
However,
there was only one Time God in the world, and existences capable of controlling fate were not so common.
At least, the gods around him
lacked that ability.
There were twelve gods in total. These gods had once been existences far beyond his reach, yet now, when Kanzaki Rei looked at them, he only felt they were pathetically weak.
Buzz—
Buzz Buzz Buzz Buzz Buzz Buzz—
Kanzaki Rei’s hand gently brushed across the body of each god. Within the long stretch of stopped time, a divine artifact was extracted from every single one of them.
「Blacksmith Talent — Fusion God-Tier · True Forger」
「Ultimate reinforcement, automatic perfection, creation from void, divine artifact construction of all things, realm of True Martial projection.」
The five blacksmith talents had been fused. Only the most recently acquired god-tier blacksmith talent 「Dominion Over All Artifacts」 had not been incorporated into the single unified talent.
Extracting weapons from anyone now no longer had many restrictions.
Once extracted, they could be used permanently.
Even if they dissipated, they could be resummoned at any time. There was also no longer any need to expend materials for reinforcement, thanks to the fusion of Radiant Ascension and Void Consumables.
Reinforcement now required no materials at all. Any piece of equipment that passed through Kanzaki Rei’s hands could achieve a minimum of +4 reinforcement.
That meant... a ten-thousandfold amplification of effects.
Splurt!
In a single encounter, the divine artifacts representing the twelve gods were extracted from their bodies. Along with them, vast amounts of their life force were also drained.
「Level 7 Death Priest — God-Tier Talent · Heavenly Awakening Live Sacrifice」
「Directly seize the life force of any living being through control, continuously performing live sacrifice rituals. The quality and effects of the offered sacrifice can be greatly enhanced based on the level of the life being offered.」
The effect of this talent was not about sacrificing something one already possessed.
It allowed the direct extraction of an enemy’s life force during battle to fuel live sacrifices for one’s own needs.
Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh—
One divine artifact after another flew out, ultimately circling around Kanzaki Rei.
Finally, time began to flow once more.
Splurt!
The moment time resumed, sprays of blood filled the air!
These old gods, whose power had returned, had already lost massive amounts of vitality. Even their divine power had been drained dry by Kanzaki Rei.
And throughout the entire process, they had no idea what had even happened...
Just like when Kanzaki Rei had first encountered Ahekator and been instantly killed and sent back to reincarnation.
If Kanzaki Rei had wanted to kill these gods,
they would have died without ever understanding what had been done to them.
But Kanzaki Rei had still shown a trace of "mercy"
to these "surviving" gods.
They were gods, after all.
They had once been the outstanding figures of an era, powerhouses who had fought and slaughtered their way to supremacy!
Though they had suffered a sudden, heavy blow,
they still reacted in the first instant, realizing they needed to eliminate Kanzaki Rei immediately! In the blink of an eye, world-shaking magic, lightning-fast and unerring strikes, and soul-shattering terror all assaulted him at once!
These attacks were also accompanied by divine authorities!
Making the attacks indestructible, impossible to dodge, or capable of causing collapse directly from the source!
But...
Splurt!
An eight-limbed, blade-wielding sun-like creature had its body instantly sliced open from within before its slash could even reach Kanzaki Rei! Countless razor-thin blade lights carved its entire body into fragments smaller than atoms.
A death spirit resembling its appearance burst directly out of its body!
「Death Priest Talent — Fusion God-Tier · Supreme Sacrifice」
「Endless supreme souls, separation of living souls, direct sight of death, killing of kin, multiple souls in one body.」
The Level 7 Death Priest talents had not been fused, but the previous ones had been fully integrated.
Kanzaki Rei no longer needed the target to be dead to turn them into his death spirit.
As long as he touched or had contact with them,
he could make them his death spirit, regardless of whether they were currently alive.
The only prerequisite was that their soul existed in this timeline.
Splurt Splurt Splurt Splurt Splurt—
The bodies of the gods exploded one after another. Their own death spirits tore their physical forms apart from within, while the unerring attacks and techniques that should have struck Kanzaki Rei all halted outside his body.
After fusion, the warrior’s 「Invulnerable to All Laws」 not only automatically repelled laws that would harm him,
but also repelled all attacks directed at him.
This was the untouchable principle.
However... the prerequisite was still time.
Therefore, Kanzaki Rei felt he was very close to Ahekator. If possible, he should have been able to completely slay her in the end.
But at that time, he had also realized
that doing so would cause Nahelkato to disappear along with Ahekator.
Because the two of them had originally been the same.
In less than ten seconds, only Kanzaki Rei remained within the nest’s heaven and earth.
Along with twelve death spirits brimming with divine power and divinity. Each death spirit held in its hands its own divine artifact, now brimming with the fresh blood of live sacrifice and cheering with excitement.
This was why, after obtaining the coordinate, Kanzaki Rei had dared to come here alone.
Before him stood a massive pillar of stone reaching toward the sky.
It emanated a calm, balanced aura.
According to the hint from Yogg’s side, this was what he needed to destroy.
However...
Within stopped time, Kanzaki Rei paused. His gaze repeatedly looked toward the future.
Did he truly have to do as Yogg said?
What Yogg described was indeed the optimal solution his own eyes could see—the optimal choice that would make the future the least terrible.
If he did not do this...
In the end, the world would once again become overwhelmingly dominated by monsters far beyond humanity because of his existence as the weight that crushed the balance.
