An unimaginable sight.
Suzushina Yuriko.
The emergence of the first rank on the Transcendent List was too astonishing and unbelievable for everyone.
From a human perspective, although they all desperately hoped that the first rank on the Transcendent List would be human—to suppress the divine and devil races and showcase human pride—before the first rank of the Transcendent List was announced, everyone essentially thought this was just an unrealistic fantasy, a fabricated dream of theirs. They never imagined that humans could truly seize the first rank on the Transcendent List.
At this moment, the hearts of all humans were filled with immense joy. The two names, Suzushina Yuriko, were truly etched into the hearts of everyone. It was believed that for hundreds of years to come, these names would be hard to fade from human history.
After all, she was the first person to lead humans in defeating the divine and devil races!!!
Amid this joy, they also felt unprecedented terror and shock.
After all, the description on the Transcendent List was clearly written.
Vector Manipulation.
The strongest human Esper.
One of the strongest human candidates.
God Slayer.
Disciple of Kanzaki Hikaru.
Regarding what was called the strongest human Esper and one of the strongest human candidates, they had no concrete impression, only knowing that they were extremely powerful existences. Meanwhile, Vector Manipulation—the more one understood vectors, the deeper the fear they felt toward its ability. This was truly a power that only a god could master, a Divine Authority.
Speaking of God Slayer and Hikaru's disciple, an inevitable chill crept up. It was at this very moment that everyone truly began to fear Hikaru deeply in their hearts.
The initial image of a playboy in everyone's minds had now transformed into an object of terror for all.
Hikaru, who was capable of training Yuriko, the first rank on the Transcendent List—if he himself didn't possess immense power, it would be tantamount to fooling fools. Several factions and organizations that had previously wanted to cause trouble for Hikaru now completely erased those thoughts from their hearts.
It was better not to provoke such an existence; otherwise, it might invite a great catastrophe.

Meanwhile, on the side of the gods.
The chief god of a certain mythology roared in his temple.
"Investigate, investigate thoroughly for me. Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, find out the true identity of Kanzaki Hikaru."
Their mythology was one of those that had suffered the most god killings by Yuriko. They had lost nearly five experts at the Devil King level. In a second-class mythology without any Transcendents, this was nearly equivalent to annihilating their entire high-level combat force. It was no wonder that the remaining chief god, who was at the threshold of the Devil King level, became extremely furious.
Other first-class and second-class mythologies had also dispatched many powerful individuals and intelligence networks, starting investigations with Hikaru as the focal point, hoping to use this as a breakthrough to capture Yuriko and destroy her.
Meanwhile, major mythologies like Norse Mythology, Greek Mythology, Indian Mythology... these mainstream mythologies shifted even more of their attention to Hikaru.
They all secretly speculated: who exactly was this person?
After all, having two Mikos capable of entering the Transcendent List, and also a disciple who was the first rank on the Transcendent List—his existence truly seemed to appear out of nowhere. Previously, he was completely unknown in the world. The name Kanzaki Hikaru felt extremely foreign.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
"Hikaru, is Suzushina Yuriko really your disciple?!!!"
Yomi stared at Hikaru in disbelief.
This scene truly shocked her.
A disciple?!!! The disciple of the first rank on the Transcendent List. Who could have imagined this before?
"I did teach her for a short time, so it's not wrong to call her a disciple."
Hikaru looked at Yuriko's figure on the Transcendent List. Honestly, several people he had previously guessed to Yomi, Kagura, and Utaha regarding the Transcendent List had all missed the mark without exception. Yuriko's appearance in the first rank of the Transcendent List was indeed slightly beyond his expectations.
"Originally, I thought she would fail to make the list. It seems her injuries have recovered faster than I anticipated."
When he had saved her from the void before, Yuriko had been completely paralyzed. According to Hikaru's conservative estimate, she would need at least several years to fully recover. He hadn't expected that in such a short time, Yuriko had essentially fully recovered from her physical injuries, and her own power had even grown significantly.
"Now even your disciple is an existence we must admire."
The one speaking was Utaha. She felt the world was truly filled with deep envy toward her. Before she had truly stepped into that mysterious supernatural world, she had already felt how insignificant she was.
Yomi and Kagura fell silent.
The mysterious fog surrounding Hikaru had indeed lifted slightly, but the sense of distance he gave them now felt like a towering mountain pressing on their chests, making it hard for them to breathe.
"The emergence of the Dimensional List will turn all impossibilities into possibilities."
Hikaru said indifferently, words that seemed out of place.
However, it was precisely these words that made Utaha, Yomi, and Kagura, who were in confusion and weakness, suddenly have their eyes light up.
Right, as long as the Dimensional List existed, as long as they kept entering the list, they could rely on the Rank Rewards given to shorten the gap between them and Hikaru.
Looking at the situation of the Transcendent List, although it was updated every three months, three months was enough time for most people on the list to digest the Rank Rewards and further enhance their strength.
The top ten or even top twenty of the Transcendent List were very likely to break through and ascend to the Devil King level. This would surely vacate many spots. As long as they worked hard, they could naturally replace them, thereby obtaining greater Rank Rewards and enhancing their own power.
However, at this moment, there weren't a few people who had such thoughts.
Sawamura Eriri, Shirayuki Hime, Kochou Kanae...
These girls silently encouraged themselves in their hearts and made training plans.
As for how much enhancement Hikaru himself could gain by entering the Dimensional List in the future, that wasn't something they could consider at this time.
Mio...
