Death, one of the Four Great Creator Gods, appeared before Kei Yamanaka.
Her graceful form, flushed cheeks, and instinctively clenched legs, along with the terrifying aura of death that stirred the entire realm, revealed just how much damage Kei Yamanaka's ruthless methods had inflicted on her!
Snap~
Kei snapped his fingers.
The single universe shuddered violently, then gradually ceased trembling, its laws and conceptual forces calming down.
The creator god Death reined in her raging aura of death.
She immediately grabbed Hela, pulling her free from layers of conceptual bindings, and tossed her straight back to her original universe—Earth-616.
F**K, next time just say you're after pleasure, not power—I'd gladly open up for you!
Death shot Kei a fierce glare.
If not for the unrelenting sense of danger gnawing at her mind, preventing her from lashing out against this so-called 'creator god,' she would've torn him apart without hesitation.
He compressed infinite stretches of time using Eternal and Infinity, reversed her death force to interfere with her power, then repeatedly unleashed an absurdly lecherous barrage of world-altering concepts within mere seconds!
What kind of moves were those?!
If not for the last shred of her sanity, she would've obliterated the entire realm alongside herself in that moment!
You mean that?
Kei raised an eyebrow, eyeing Death's alluring figure.
Honestly speaking, Death in physical form was absolutely stunning—her black hair and black eyes were a perfect match for his taste.
...You speak first. What do you want?
Death gritted her teeth, too consumed by the intense unease radiating from the overwhelming threat before her to engage in games.
She could clearly see that this creator god's universe capacity wasn't even a ten-thousandth of theirs.
Yet ever since he suddenly invaded their world, they had sensed in him a power capable of threatening both them and the entire realm itself.
And as he rapidly evolved in such a short time—from a weak dimensional demon god to a creator god of immeasurably high divinity—this threat only grew stronger.
Most importantly…
Realms could devour each other!
They had already collectively decided to retreat and yield by avoiding war and allowing him his freedom—an unprecedented move that earned them all four-in-one creator gods who perceived the ultimate threat.
What more did he want?!
Encounter Devour, replicate its power, and ascend.
Seeing Death's defensive stance, Kei sighed helplessly.
Death slightly frowned.
That reason actually didn't sound unreasonable.
This creator god had already fused four fundamental forces—Death, Infinity, Eternal, and Devour—into one.
Adding Devour into the mix?
Given his proven potential from the moment he appeared until now, achieving completion and ascending was truly possible.
To oppose him would be tantamount to declaring war. No creator god would tolerate obstruction on the path to ascension!
Well...
"You're certain it's a copy?"
"I'm certain. If you're unsure, you can ask Eternal and Infinite to come out and observe too."
"...I'm worried you might catch all of us in one net."
Death gave a playful eye-roll, then paused for several seconds before speaking again.
"I need your guarantee that you won't turn against us or destroy our world."
"I guarantee it."
"...Fine."
Death fixed Kei Yamanaka with an intense gaze for a few moments before dissolving into pure conceptual force and vanishing swiftly from this universe.
A short while later.
The concept of Annihilation coalesced into a humanoid form — a torso with deep blue skin and eyes glowing faintly with pinkish-purple light.
Tattered burlap robes imbued with the essence of Annihilation draped over his form.
His ethereal voice resonated across the entire universe.
"Honored Sorcerer Supreme, proceed."
"System, replicate [Essence Annihilation]!"
Kei Yamanaka's eyes lit up as he immediately locked onto the Colorful Trait positioned at the forefront of the annihilation skills.
Not 'god,' nor any other strange name.
This was a concept that pointed directly to the essence of the world!
"Thank you."
Smiling, Kei Yamanaka gave a slight nod to the embodiment of Annihilation before vanishing instantly back to his Eternal Divine Kingdom.
Annihilation hesitated briefly, clearly unprepared for how swiftly the 'replication' process would unfold.
Once he regained his senses,
he sensed the presence that had already vanished from their realm.
Without delay, he transformed into pure conceptual force and dispersed into the current universe. He headed toward the gathering of Death, Eternal, Infinite, and the others to decide what stance they should take toward this foreign Creator God.
Within the Eternal Divine Kingdom,
the moment Kei Yamanaka returned, he activated the Colorful Trait [Essence Annihilation].
It felt as though the final puzzle piece had fallen into place.
Above the Eternal Divine Kingdom,
Eternal, Infinite, Death, and Annihilation shone together, endlessly rotating.
The concept of Devouring, which had previously never connected with the Eternal Divine Kingdom within the [Galaxy Devourer] trait, now appeared.
Five fundamental concepts wove together and began cycling in harmony!
Like the interplay of Tai Chi's Yin and Yang, endlessly complementing and fusing together!
Joining these five fundamental forces of the world's essence, the Fate concept from [Fate Precognition], and the concepts of Order, Truth, and War from [Colosseum of the Gods] also began manifesting within the Eternal Divine Kingdom!
Sudden enlightenment struck.
A subtle smile curved Kei Yamanaka's lips as he addressed the System immediately.
"System, use the Keyword Integration Opportunity to integrate all traits!"
The sky above the Eternal Divine Kingdom—once perpetually bright like daylight laced with dazzling multicolored bursts—suddenly displayed twilight, stars, and dawn all at once!
Shaken to his divine core, Kei Yamanaka's humanoid form dissolved into the essence of the world, merging with Heaven and Earth themselves.
The lifeform dwelling within the fruit of the Jambudvipa Tree gazed upward in confusion at the ever-shifting sky.
At that moment, the 'stars' that had always illuminated this world completely collapsed.
The entire realm transformed into an endless River of the Great Dao, flowing in eternal cycles!
Eternal, Infinity, Death, Devour, Time, Space, Power, Chaos, Lifeform, Fate, Causality, Reincarnation, Five Elements, Yin-Yang...
The River of the Great Dao—the manifestation of ultimate cosmic laws—flowed throughout the entire world.
The vast majority of people, due to insufficient strength, lost consciousness after merely a single glance.
Even someone as strong as Tsunade, Kushina, and Liang Bing couldn't last long under the weight of the three thousand Dao principles flowing through them.
But even just seeing it once—
For these individuals, just glimpsing the true nature of the Dao was already a rare opportunity!
Time slowly ticked away.
An hour had passed before the River of the Great Dao finally faded back into the essence of the world.
Kei Yamanaka reappeared in his physical form in front of the Jambudvipa Tree.
At that moment, a system notification voice sounded as well.
[Ding~ The Skill-List System has achieved its preset target: Supreme Creator God.]
[Skill-List System fully unlocked. Merged with the Supreme Creator Realm. Detected Quantum Engine and Realm Acceleration System. Integration complete.]
[Skill-List System has fused with the Quantum Engine, adding functions such as Keyword Creation, Gifting, Copying, Enhancing, Downgrading, Sealing, Stripping, and more. Capable of delivering attacks based on three thousand Dao principles and World Essence.]
[Please name the new engine—]
"...Creation."
As Kei Yamanaka heard the series of system prompts and felt the changes within the system and engine, a faint smile curved his lips.
The system had completely merged with his own realm.
From now on, there would probably be no further Keyword Draw opportunities—he'd have to create keywords himself.
However, direct access to the world's source, unlimited Skill Downgrades and Skill Seals!
That's exactly what the creator gods of the Marvel Realm fear the most!
They could actually perceive the threat of this conceptual-level World Essence ability—truly impressive for the creator gods of the Marvel Realm to surpass other so-called deities by such a wide margin!
Shaking off the drifting thoughts in his mind,
Kei Yamanaka lifted his gaze toward the Jambudvipa Tree in front of him.
With a mere thought, one World Portal after another continued to appear inside the Jambudvipa Fruits. Within several dozen seconds, over ten thousand fully formed Jambudvipa Fruits had already materialized.
Many lifeforms that happened to be near those portals cautiously started probing the newly opened gateways.
The doors to countless worlds had been thrown open.
It was certain that this place would soon become a hub where beings from ten thousand realms gathered to exchange knowledge!
Inside the Jambudvipa Fruit within the Marvel Realm,
Death Goddess Hela cautiously peeked out from the World Portal.
Looking at her smooth hair brimming with death energy and her freshly changed clothing,
It was obvious she had just been thoroughly "purified."
Kei Yamanaka sensed two distinct consciousnesses within her body—he understood immediately.
One belonged to Hela, while the other clearly originated from Death itself.
He didn't need to guess to realize that the fluctuations caused by the recent world enhancement had definitely traveled through the portal into the Marvel Realm.
Death was clearly checking things out, having sensed the enhancement process had ended.
Instantly flashing through space, Kei Yamanaka arrived within the Jambudvipa Fruit of the Marvel Realm. With a flick of his finger, he gently drew the hesitant Death Goddess into his own world.
"Death Lady, you didn't answer my question earlier—was that the truth?"
"???!!!"
Hela looked completely bewildered, while the Death entity within her simply pretended to be dead.
*Chi chi~*
Golden magical sparks crackled.
As Kei Yamanaka was about to continue teasing them, he suddenly kicked the Death Goddess Hela straight back into the Marvel Realm.
After the golden World Portal formed, Kushina and Tsunade, who had just woken up from being unconscious, rushed out immediately.
"Kei~! What just happened to you? What's going on?"
"Damn it! Next time, could you at least warn us first?!"
Kushina and Tsunade anxiously asked, checking him over from head to toe.
"Don't worry, it's a good thing. I'll make sure to warn you next time."
Smiling, Kei pulled both women into his embrace, feeling a huge wave of relief wash over him.
Timing is crucial.
While Tsunade and Kushina were worrying about him, if they found out he'd been sneaking off to flirt with other girls behind their backs, there'd definitely be hell to pay!
Inside the Marvel Realm—
Shot skyward from beneath Kamar-Taj's underground chambers, almost kicked right out of the solar system, the Death Goddess Hela curled into a ball midair like a shrimp, as if her insides had nearly shattered.
The Death force within her felt every bit of the pain.
F***!
Has that bastard lost his mind?!
One moment he acts like he's actually interested in (her), the next he suddenly kicks her away like that!
You think I'm some broken-down motorcycle you can kick-start at will?!
Even a clay figure has its limits, you know!
