I Gain a God-Tier Talent Every Level

Chapter 557

Soul lifeforms had always been suppressed by Kanzaki Rei.

And these incomplete gods within the forbidden zones—their physical bodies were already damaged to begin with. The Porter, in particular, specialized in soul attacks and had even abandoned its physical body entirely.

So it was no wonder Kanzaki Rei was the Soul Sovereign.

"Truly an astonishing gain..."

「God-Tier · Death Spirit Reincarnation」

So he really could craft a death spirit out of it.

That waste Artemys—at the very end, she had become Kanzaki Rei himself, so even though he killed her in the end, he didn’t get a death spirit from her.

Kanzaki Rei had ultimately reclaimed his original body.

But the Porter he had just killed was a genuine god.

It had simply fallen on hard times once.

Yet after any lifeform becomes a death spirit, it will manifest in its strongest, most glorious form.

「Death · Soul Porter」

Whoosh!

The moment he resonated with the Porter, Kanzaki Rei felt his perception suddenly expand by countless billions of times in an instant!

No, that wasn’t right.

His perception hadn’t expanded.

Rather, he could feel... souls!

In this moment, Kanzaki Rei suddenly realized that what he was feeling was every soul in the entire world.

「Divine Authority — All Souls of This World: Possesses constant perception of every soul in the world, no matter where they are located.」

So this... was what a god felt?

He had seen gods. Touched gods. Been schemed against by gods. Even killed gods.

But he had never known what it actually felt like to be a god.

Now, Kanzaki Rei finally understood.

He understood just how vast a world this境界 truly beheld.

Every soul.

Through this divine authority, Kanzaki Rei’s perception looked out across the entire world.

Using his knowledge of geography, Kanzaki Rei mapped the coordinates—but even so, there were still countless souls drifting without any fixed abode.

He had no idea exactly where they were.

All he knew was that there were countless scattered points across the map. Some of those souls were extraordinarily special. Some blazed like light itself. Some were heavy yet radiant with color. Some flickered and wavered unpredictably...

There was simply too much to see.

Because he was seeing all the souls in the world, he could see not only the living but also the dead.

Even ants were included.

No. Too much.

Kanzaki Rei cut off the perception.

This death spirit of the Porter possessed uniqueness.

Unlike crafting Eighth-Order death spirits, where he could produce them in bulk with a single template inside his Solo World by just pressing a button.

As long as Kanzaki Rei’s Porter death spirit existed for a single day,

There would never be a second person in this world who could ascend to the Soul Divine Throne.

The Divine Throne was reserved for one person alone.

Only Tier 9 professional could allow multiple people to ascend simultaneously.

But in reality, because of the constraints of balance,

It was extremely rare for a second or third person of the same职业 to reach Tier 9 in this world.

And this death spirit’s strength...

The Porter gently raised its hand.

And once again, the perception of souls flooded into Kanzaki Rei’s mind.

Then—

The Porter casually clenched its fist.

Far away, three hundred billion kilometers distant, an entire region blazing with soul-light went dark in an instant.

Whoosh——

A few seconds later, Kanzaki Rei appeared in that region.

His perception swept across the area. He saw vast numbers of magic beasts lying dead everywhere he looked.

The time of death was also clear.

Just a few seconds ago.

They had all dropped dead simultaneously. And the cause of death was simple enough.

Soul collapse.

Seeing this scene, a trace of genuine joy appeared on Kanzaki Rei’s face.

"Finally, something is going right."

Interrupting his original line of thought, coming here directly to kill it after seeing the premonition—that decision had truly been the right one.

From this day forward,

He truly possessed a death spirit of a god.

And not just any god—one not bound by any vow or covenant.

"But the remaining four... won’t be nearly as easy to kill."

"And besides, they’ve been waiting long enough."

"I should probably make a quick trip back first."

With a single thought from Kanzaki Rei, a passageway materialized before his eyes. He warped the phase again and returned to the Moon Sea.

And this time, Kanzaki Rei couldn’t be bothered to travel manually.

In a single step, he appeared directly inside the Fishman Sage’s room.

"Gurulu wabu!" The Fishman Sage stomped its foot and shouted.

"Fine, fine. Next time I’ll give you time to mentally prepare."

Seriously. He was already Tier 8, and still got startled?

Was it really necessary to be that timid?

Kanzaki Rei sighed helplessly.

"As promised, I brought your people back."

"And I even brought you two extra."

Whoosh whoosh!

As Kanzaki Rei spoke—thump thump thump thump thump thump—

Six consecutive sounds of bodies hitting the floor. Six figures, tied up like writhing maggots, lay sprawled on the ground, struggling awkwardly.

The rope itself was ordinary, but each of them had been sealed by Kanzaki Rei.

No matter what they did, they couldn’t move.

"This one... and this one?"

The Fishman Sage’s finger pointed toward Shumi, then toward Eliosa.

"Who?" The Fishman Sage tilted its head, confused.

"’Who’? That’s so rude, meow!"

"We came here to support you, you know!"

Shumi slapped her lower body against the floor, wriggling like a fish.

The Fishman Sage’s expression shifted to one of sudden realization.

But immediately afterward, it turned its face away completely, ignoring Shumi entirely.

"Hey, you dead fish!"

"Don’t ignore me!"

The Fishman Sage looked toward the other side, at Sisha and the others wriggling on the floor.

"Them? What’s wrong with them?"

Kanzaki Rei: "Oh, nothing’s wrong. I just didn’t want them moving around."

"You know as well as I do that transporting people isn’t an easy task."

"But it doesn’t matter now."

Click——

A soft snap of his fingers, and the restraints on Sisha and the others were instantly released.

Ding!

Sisha and the others snapped back to full awareness almost instantly.

Whoosh— They immediately shifted into combat readiness.

As if their battle hadn’t ended yet. But where were any enemies nearby?

All they saw before them was a fish with bulging eyes.

"Sage... sir?"

Sisha’s expression was clearly stunned.

"I can’t believe I’m seeing you again! I thought we were all going to perish."

No. You did all perish.

I was the one who brought you back...

Kanzaki Rei kept that thought bottled up inside, never saying it aloud.

"I’m handing them over to you. Consider my promise to you fulfilled."

The Fishman Sage thumped its chest. "The Sage does not forget a promise. The reward will arrive shortly."

Sage in what way, exactly.

Kanzaki Rei truly hadn’t seen anything particularly sage-like about it.

"I need to verify some information with Sisha."

"Kanzaki Rei, would you mind...?"

Kanzaki Rei waved a hand. "Fine. I’ll leave."

With that, Kanzaki Rei’s figure vanished completely. Along with him, the awareness of his existence and his very presence also disappeared.

No one knew where he had gone.

Yet, in truth—

The moment Kanzaki Rei’s figure disappeared out the front door,

He immediately re-entered this cramped little room through the back.

Only this time, Kanzaki Rei had made himself completely invisible.

Verify some information?

And hide it from me?

How could he not listen in? What if they were plotting against him?
