Kei Yamanaka hadn't noticed it back when the [Competition to Amuse the Divine] was upgraded into the [Colosseum of the Gods].
This game, originally meant only for others to participate in,
had clearly evolved beyond the point where he could no longer participate, particularly after it became possible to freely modify and adjust its modes.
Kei's current strength had already reached the [Limit] of the Superman Realm.
Even without using his system's abilities like [Keyword Detach], [Reset], or [Downgrade],
he had transformed into an [Illusionary Body], while Kal-El—who had only just started mastering a few Void Techniques through genetic modifications—stood no chance against him.
And if one also considered the 50% power adjustment within the Colosseum of the Gods…
That would result in power far surpassing even the [peak of the Superman Realm]...
"Hmm?"
As Kei observed the dark energy projection, Havoc's fleet began entering the Milky Way's range.
Just as he was about to activate the [Colosseum of the Gods] and pull everyone—including Kal—into the battlefield, resolving all issues at once,
a space-time fluctuation across dimensions, somewhat similar to what appeared when he activated [Soaring Through All Heavens], suddenly emerged.
Enveloped in a long robe with dark blue and gold trimmings, his form resembling the cosmic starry river itself, lacking any solid physical shape, Time-Space God Motoi Ran instantly materialized at the exact center of the living room.
...
Name: Motoi Ran
Occupation: Exploration Pioneer / World Rule Consciousness Clone
Keywords: [Eternal Void (Colorful)], [Time-Space God (Colorful)], [Infinite Knowledge (Golden)], [Transcendent Leap (Red)], [Dimensional Guardian (Red)], [Never-Tiring Mentor (Purple)], [Scientific Pioneer (Purple)], [Divine Architect (Purple)], [Detachment (White)], [World Willpower Assimilation (Black)]
...
"Time-Space God Motoi Ran."
Seeing the other appear, Kei couldn't help but slightly raise his eyebrows.
Space Principal, Time-Space God Motoi Ran.
He was once the head researcher and director of the Superman Institute, one of the three main architects of the Divine Projects. Be it the Galactic Power, the Noxing War God, or the Light of the Sun—they were all his creations!
Even the Big Clock and the Shenhe Civilization's greatest intellectual achievement—the Galaxy Tree—were directly linked to him.
Earlier, Kei had even considered:
after dealing with Kal and the rest, would this guy pop up as the final boss?
Yet judging by the situation now…
It seemed like this fellow…
was practically merging entirely with this realm?
No, not exactly "merging."
Rather, under the erosion, assimilation, and degradation caused by the realm's rules, he could no longer preserve his identity—it seemed he was being absorbed into the World Willpower and its laws!
[System, copy [Eternal Void] and [Time-Space God]!]
Glancing at the impressive array of keywords before him, Kei immediately copied the first two Colorful Keywords.
He still hadn't used the Colorful Keyword [Eternal Companion] he possessed.
These two clearly followed different paths, yet both revolved around "Eternal"—they might be able to fuse together.
Whether they could overcome each other's respective flaws…
remains to be seen.
The entry [Time-Space God] innately comprehends time and space beyond the main realm's dimensional framework.
Kei Yamanaka's control over space-time, already immensely powerful due to the Colorful Trait [Soaring Through All Heavens], can always become stronger—after all, who wouldn't want to grow even mightier?
"The universe runs on order. Cross its tolerance threshold, and higher-dimensional space-time falls into chaos—leading to the collapse of the current dimension."
Space Principal Motoi Ran gave a slight nod toward Kei Yamanaka, his voice as cold and mechanical as ever, devoid of any emotion.
"...Understood."
Kei frowned, then nodded after grasping the meaning behind Motoi Ran's words.
While the Superman Realm seemed vast, its space-time structure was far from stable, and its world rank wasn't particularly high either. It couldn't compare to the Marvel Realm, where every split timeline can evolve into a fully-fledged dimensional universe.
Motoi Ran was reminding him—use less of the Conceptual-Tier power related to space-time.
Otherwise, the space-time fabric would be unable to withstand it, and the dimension he currently resided in would suffer massive consequences.
"Understood. Friendly contact noted."
Space Principal Motoi Ran nodded again.
A device known as the 'hourglass'—the pinnacle of Superman Institute's space-time research, almost exactly like a Klein bottle—then materialized on one side of the living room's coffee table.
His presence immediately disappeared from the room.
"Just now, was that Space Principal Ji's original form?"
Guy narrowed her eyes. She never expected Motoi Ran—the Time-Space God whose fleeting presence they had chased across tens of thousands of years—to appear here suddenly.
"Yes and no. He no longer has a physical form."
Kei Yamanaka shook his head.
Motoi Ran's soul and mental force didn't meet the minimum threshold required for merging with the Dao.
Forcibly transforming himself into a dimensional and conceptual existence meant that over the eons, his subjective consciousness had been constantly eroded, worn down, assimilated, and ultimately fused into the world's laws, until finally becoming a part of them.
Judging from Motoi Ran's condition earlier…
At best, his consciousness has only a few more decades before vanishing completely.
"Do you have techniques beyond this world's tolerance limit?"
Guy glanced at the 'hourglass' resting on the coffee table. What Space Principal Motoi Ran had implied earlier was deeply unsettling.
"Yeah."
Kei Yamanaka snatched the hourglass into his palm, studying its power and mechanics.
Motoi Ran's intention was clear—it essentially meant he should operate within the established boundaries.
Even if he used space-time powers, it would be best done through "permissible pathways," namely using this hourglass.
"What can it do?"
Hexi also turned her gaze toward the hourglass in Kei Yamanaka's hand.
Though the Sacred Knowledge Treasury recorded the hourglass developed by the Superman Institute, its precise function remained unclear.
"With the help of the celestial computer, it can construct a space-time hallway. Stepping inside allows one to return to past space-time nodes on a layer beyond the current spatial-temporal dimension. Using the Light of the Sun's ability, we can also send certain messages back, indirectly altering events that once occurred. However, push it too far, and the current dimension will collapse."
Kei casually flung the hourglass into the Primordial Realm.
This level of power might not amount to much in the Superman Realm, but it proves highly effective in other realms!
"Can you still use the methods you mentioned earlier?"
Queen Seraphina slightly frowned. Matters like the space-time corridor and dimensional collapse could wait for now.
Kal-El and Havoc crossed the wormhole bridge, but they were about to enter the solar system!
At this point, the Blue Planet still couldn't sustain itself independently from its star.
If a war erupted among the Primordial Gods and drained massive amounts of energy, the stars in the surrounding regions would be the first to suffer.
"Just tone it down a bit."
Kei Yamanaka finished estimating the hourglass's strength and already had a rough idea in his mind.
He shut his eyes and triggered the [Colosseum of All Realms] technique.
In descending order of strength, he instantly summoned exactly ten thousand participants into the Colosseum's spatial realm.
Overwhelmed by an irresistible force beyond their resistance, everything blurred before Kal-El, Havoc, Ruoning, and the others.
When their vision cleared, they had already appeared within the Ten-Thousand Person Colosseum.
After its enhancement, the [Colosseum of All Realms] had grown dozens of times larger than before—previously existing islands, deserts, rainforests, and snowy lands all expanded significantly. Additionally, there was now a completely new trial space.
Within this Trial Realm, shifting dunes and violent sandstorms filled the environment.
At the center alone stood a structure modeled after an ancient Roman colosseum—only magnified dozens of times into a colossal arena!
"Kal! Who the hell did you piss off? I swear I blinked once and woke up here!"
Havoc looked around anxiously at the unfamiliar surroundings.
Male angels, previously scattered across different ships and unaware of what had occurred, now converged toward him one by one.
"The Dimensional Demon God, Shan."
Shinigami Kal-El brushed his sleeve with a finger, checking his Illusionary Body forcibly reassembled from a disintegrated state.
He then lifted his gaze upward toward the central observation platform on one side of the Colosseum—a symbol of supreme authority.
A large open space separated the central platform from the surrounding audience seats.
Strange blood-colored patterns flowed across the wall behind the platform, interwoven with intricate thorn-like designs, within which six differently colored gems were embedded.
They radiated a terrifying chaotic void force!
At the very heart of the main platform, encircled by radiant arcs of multicolored light, sat Kei Yamanaka. Leaning forward with his elbows on his knees and fingers steepled, he observed everyone within the Colosseum with keen interest.
