I Gain a God-Tier Talent Every Level

Chapter 575

The instant the Supreme Luck Scepter was reinforced to +3, Kanzaki Rei felt his entire body grow lighter, as if some invisible force had begun to favor him. A surging tide of fortune poured toward him without end.

Yet at the same time...

A clear intuition rose unbidden in the depths of his heart.

[Luck] was no vague, intangible concept. It existed as a tangible force in this world. Though invisible and untouchable, it flowed ceaselessly between heaven and earth.

If too much luck gathered in one place,

then an equal amount would inevitably drain away from other corners of the world to maintain balance.

Kanzaki Rei raised his hand and beckoned. The cascade of dazzling gems pouring from the sky all fell into his palm. With a light touch of his fingertips against several special gems, he forcibly extracted the enchanting properties contained within them.

Streams of enchanting light flashed past and embedded themselves into the Supreme Luck Scepter +3.

「Return Enchant (LV: 5): The equipment resonates completely with its owner. No matter how it is lost, it can be instantly summoned back.」

「Extreme Magic Enchant (LV: 5): Equipment’s magic power utilization efficiency increased by 10,000%.」

「Multi-Use Enchant (LV: 5): Active effect cooldowns of the equipment reduced to 1%.」

...

After the multiple top-tier enchantments were complete, the gems raining from the sky gradually dispersed. At the same time, across the entire island, rare and precious herbs bloomed everywhere, filling the air with their fragrant aroma.

Only now did Kanzaki Rei truly understand why Yakathicta could become a Moon.

If he were in such an environment, it would be difficult not to advance... He might as well take advantage of this perfect opportunity to raise his Prophet level to 4 first.

Kanzaki Rei swept his hand through the air, instantly forming the Prophet advancement ritual. A faint golden light enveloped his body.

Everything he had experienced during this period had massively distorted and altered the original future—he had saved the people of Boundless Mountain who should have been swallowed by war, slain an old god ahead of schedule, and personally destroyed a ninth-tier monster, forcibly derailing the plans of the [Nest of Mutation].

All of these actions constituted a forceful rewriting of the "future," and they had perfectly fulfilled the conditions for advancing to a Level 4 Prophet.

Whoosh!

The sky suddenly tore open. A brilliant pillar of light poured down, enveloping Kanzaki Rei within the ritual.

Gripping the Supreme Luck Scepter tightly, he looked up toward the rift. According to the rules of Prophet advancement, he could now glimpse fragments of the future.

Yet what entered his vision was not an ordinary future scene, but the figures of numerous Moons!

Kanzaki Rei clearly saw the entire world engulfed in raging flames that devoured heaven and earth. Then boundless darkness swept in, completely covering the blazing inferno. Chaos and darkness intertwined, blanketing the whole world.

When all the phenomena finally dissipated,

countless gold coins poured down from the sky like rain!

The next second, the precognitive vision vanished abruptly. Kanzaki Rei’s gaze returned to reality. Advancing to Level 4 Prophet had required no substantial trial—only this brief glimpse of the future.

Along with the notification of successful advancement, Kanzaki Rei unlocked the god-tier talent of the Prophet class.

「God-Tier · Denial — Predict a future scene and forcibly negate its occurrence, even if the foreseen event is an unchangeable, fated truth.」

「Level 4 Prophet Mastery: Eye of This Life — While predicting a person’s future, one can also glimpse all the trajectories of their past.」

「Level 4 Prophet Mastery: Fate Judgment — Greater freedom in controlling the authority over destiny, with a significantly extended time dimension that can be manipulated.」

This 「God-Tier · Denial」 could be considered a top-tier counter card.

The battles he faced now increasingly involved troublesome divine authorities and rules.

In pure numerical confrontations, he had confidence against the vast majority of enemies. What truly disgusted him were those divine authorities and abilities that twisted fate and manipulated laws...

"Advancement complete?"

A figure flickered, and Nahelkato appeared beside Kanzaki Rei, speaking in a calm tone.

"Nahelkato, what level of strength do you think I need before I can return to the other side?"

Kanzaki Rei turned to look at her, firing off questions in succession. "Do you believe I must become a god to defeat Ahekator? And... must I defeat her at all?"

Nahelkato shook her head gently, her voice carrying a trace of gravity. "You are very strong. You indeed possess the ability to fight comfortably above your level. But she is stronger. Even in your timeline, among the other Moons she undoubtedly stands at the very peak."

"If you wish to defeat her, you must at least possess the strength to contend with a Moon. Moreover, you must break through her physique, her divine artifacts, and her divine kingdom. Otherwise, even if you can contend with a Moon, you won’t be able to harm her. Conversely, even if you can break those three aspects, without the raw power to confront a Moon head-on, you still won’t be able to inflict meaningful damage in direct combat."

She paused, looking at him. "Do you think you can currently contend with a Moon?"

Kanzaki Rei shook his head, a hint of uncertainty in his voice. "I’m not entirely sure myself. I haven’t encountered many normal opponents."

Compared to ordinary advancement paths, Kanzaki Rei’s growth curve was downright bizarre.

Every level-up brought explosive surges in power, resulting in far too few opponents and insufficient samples.

This left him unable to accurately gauge his true strength.

The one thing he could be certain of was that, based on previous simulations, his current power was sufficient to slay ninth-tier monsters.

"Once you step into the divine domain, there are no more ’normal’ beings," Nahelkato said slowly, her tone carrying a note of warning. "Every enemy you encounter afterward will be abnormal. Some may appear weak, yet the divine authorities they conceal can take your life in an instant."

"Especially beware those who seem harmless. Often, those are the most dangerous. Their divine authorities are on par with your god-tier talents."

Kanzaki Rei understood inwardly.

It seemed Nahelkato knew far more than what he had told her.

He had no idea how many of his secrets she had uncovered.

Yet the effects of 「God-Tier · Unsolvable Mystery」 appeared to remain intact; the information she obtained still seemed to come from Yogg.

"If you cannot determine your own strength, then come and test it."

Nahelkato raised her right hand. A silver-white ripple of time spread out from beneath her feet.

"You should be able to see the outlines of laws."

Kanzaki Rei nodded slightly. Thanks to his 「God-Tier · Invulnerable to All Laws」 talent, he could not only clearly perceive the form of laws, but also twist, tamper with, and even turn them against their source.

Crack—

Yet in the next instant, Nahelkato, who had been standing before him, appeared directly behind him. Her fingertip lightly touched his back.

"You still cannot react to a gap in time yet, because this is not twisting a law—it is directly manipulating time itself."

Nahelkato’s voice came from behind. "Next is this technique—Sand of Time."

The moment her words fell, Kanzaki Rei saw the spacetime around Nahelkato’s palm twist violently like flowing sand. A violent yet gentle power of time slowly poured into his body. This strike carried no killing intent, and its movements were deliberately slowed—clearly a demonstration of the technique’s principles.

Boom!

A terrifying power of time erupted within Kanzaki Rei’s body. He felt his body’s time flow accelerate by hundreds of millions of times!

In a single instant, he transformed from a youthful appearance into a decrepit old man with white hair and beard!

「Ninth-Tier Time Magic — Sand of Time (LV: 100)」

[Effect: Accelerates the time flow of any touched material by hundreds of millions of times.]

This technique would instantly exhaust the lifespan of any being without infinite longevity—even a ninth-tier job-changer—causing them to die of old age. After all, a ninth-tier job-changer’s lifespan was only around a thousand years.

Yet the very same instant Kanzaki Rei aged into an old man, the flesh on his back burst open. A powerful hand emerged from the torn flesh and precisely pressed against Nahelkato’s heart!

「Seventh-Tier Time Transcendence Magic — Time Erasure (LV: 601)」

Splurt!

Nahelkato’s body trembled. She clearly felt a full century of her own time being stripped away in an instant. However, for a ninth-tier time controller like her, this was nothing. Ordinary ninth-tier job-changers had only a thousand-year lifespan, but for her, who controlled time, those thousand years were practically endless.

Snap—

The two separated with a single touch, rapidly increasing the distance between them. The aged shell on Kanzaki Rei’s body visibly regenerated at astonishing speed, instantly restoring his youthful form with no decline in bodily functions.

Even so, he could clearly sense that his lifespan had reached its limit. Lifespan was not merely a measure of life force but a binding woven from multiple world rules—time, fate, death, life, and more. This restraint was no less severe than the vows binding one upon ascension to godhood.

Even a ninth-tier job-changer would eventually die once their lifespan was exhausted. There were many ways to restore physical condition and strengthen the body, but none could truly extend one’s lifespan.

As he distanced himself from Nahelkato, a silver-white war spear manifested in Kanzaki Rei’s right palm, its shaft flowing with faint time patterns.

「God-Tier · True Martial」

This was a time-type divine artifact condensed from the time laws he had extracted from Nahelkato.

「Nahelkato’s Spear」

Weapons formed by 「God-Tier · True Martial」 possessed power nearly equal to the original source of the extracted law. If fully utilized, it was equivalent to the original wielder acting in person—provided the user could completely control that power.

Kanzaki Rei gripped the spear and shook it fiercely!

Buzz—

The spear vanished from his hand. Within the gap of time, Nahelkato clearly saw the spear hurtling toward her with unstoppable momentum!

「Nahelkato’s Spear — Divine Artifact Effect: Gap in Time」

A gap in time was itself a static spacetime; one could not create another static spacetime within it. Nahelkato’s expression grew slightly solemn. She slowly raised a finger in a flicking gesture.

「Ninth-Tier Time Magic — Time Leap (LV: 100)」

Crack—

The spear charging at Nahelkato vanished into thin air. The next second, the gap in time ended, and the spear reappeared in Kanzaki Rei’s hand.

"Gap in time?" Kanzaki Rei asked.

"Yes, but only this divine artifact can achieve it," Nahelkato nodded. "It can enter the gap-in-time space, but it cannot bring you along. It’s as if the spear itself possesses a gap-in-time physique while you do not."

Before her words finished, another ripple of time spread beneath Nahelkato’s feet. Though she remained standing in place, Kanzaki Rei instinctively turned and thrust the spear viciously behind him!

Clang!

A crisp collision rang out, sparks flying everywhere.

「Cang Dao — Path Three: Cause of Fate」

The fated future, the outcome that should have inverted cause and effect, was forcibly altered by Kanzaki Rei! Nahelkato had used two fingers in the future to catch this lethal strike!

Though both stood motionless in the present,

they had already clashed once in the spacetime of the future!

Another second passed—

Boom!

A dragon-shaped, radiant spear shadow erupted, piercing straight through the entire island and leaving a massive semicylindrical trench in the sea! The chasm stretched for hundreds of millions of kilometers, with a width of tens of thousands of kilometers—an awe-inspiring sight.

Fortunately, this island was located in a remote area. Within hundreds of millions of kilometers, there were no other islands or innocent people to be affected. Even so, Nahelkato lightly retreated a step, tapping her foot and generating faint time ripples to neutralize the aftershocks.

Kanzaki Rei pressed forward, stepping out with phase ripples that split space apart. In a single stride he crossed into a monster nest!

"ROAR—!"

The moment he entered the nest, earth-shaking roars rose one after another. These monsters were mindless.

They were completely different from the intelligent monsters in Kanzaki Rei’s original timeline.

Sensing the presence of two living humans, they instantly went berserk and charged.

A colossal bull monster that towered into the sky attacked first. Its hooves slammed down with world-destroying force, trampling toward Kanzaki Rei!

Boom!

Kanzaki Rei merely raised one hand slowly and propped it upward. The enormous hoof, large enough to cover millions of square kilometers, was steadily held in place. His body remained completely unmoved, not sinking even a fraction.

Then, with a slight exertion of force from his fingertips, countless cracks spread upward along the giant bull’s hoof.

Kanzaki Rei had no time to pay attention to the giant bull’s wails. He turned fiercely, thrusting the spear like a storm!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Millions of attacks were completed in an instant. Spear shadows pierced the air with piercing sonic booms.

In the spacetime of the future, Nahelkato extended a single finger again and again, precisely tapping the tip of each spear. Time ripples spread from her fingertip, effortlessly neutralizing every strike.

After a moment of silence—

Boom!

Destructive energy aftershocks swept in all directions. The entire monster nest was razed to the ground amid roaring explosions, with rubble flying and smoke billowing.

Nahelkato’s figure reappeared before Kanzaki Rei. She glanced down at her slightly trembling fingertip, a trace of approval in her voice. "Your physical body is truly powerful."

"And I can sense that you have begun to gradually adapt to time laws. Your attacks are already incorporating methods to strike at time itself."

Kanzaki Rei’s eyes widened, silver-white light flickering in his pupils as his gaze remained locked on Nahelkato at every moment. He carefully observed the divine authorities and laws she used, every technique she employed, while constantly refining his own Cang Dao techniques through her moves.

Kanzaki Rei assumed a combat stance once more, his tone resolute. "Continue."

This was merely a spar between the two of them. The Supreme Luck Scepter had not been brought into play at all.

Using luck against an enemy was a trump card reserved for true life-or-death battles—after all, once the Supreme Luck Scepter was activated, even Kanzaki Rei himself would not know what would happen. The uncontrollable factors were simply too great.

Moreover, extracting Nahelkato’s luck would cause her irreversible harm. Kanzaki Rei would never do such a thing.

Ding!

Nahelkato tapped the ground lightly with her toe once more. Her figure instantly vanished from the spot, merging into spacetime.

Kanzaki Rei followed the time imprint left on Nahelkato, stepping through phase space in hot pursuit!

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Monster nests were shattered one after another by the aftershocks of their battle. Kanzaki Rei pursued relentlessly while Nahelkato guided the fight’s rhythm with ease. The number of times he could truly break through her defenses could be counted on one hand.

Time laws were indeed incredibly difficult to counter. Even without using her divine authorities and merely casting some ninth-tier time spells, Nahelkato made the fight extraordinarily difficult for him.

Even so, this was the first time Kanzaki Rei had fought with such exhilaration and satisfaction.

He had finally encountered an opponent who could let him go all out!

As she continued feeding him moves, new inspirations surged endlessly in his mind. In particular, 「Cang Dao — Path Two: Solution to All Things」 had gradually begun to take shape as a method to counter time laws.

Tap—

Chasing Nahelkato, Kanzaki Rei arrived at another nest.

This nest was dark and damp, filled with a thick, evil aura of souls. It was clearly a nest of evil.

Nahelkato stood at the center of the nest, interlacing the fingers of both hands to form a small bridge. "I have already demonstrated to you all the basic spells, combat techniques, and defensive moves that Ahekator can use—the ones I know."

"Next... is the divine kingdom."

"She is both a ninth-tier job-changer and a god, so she possesses two divine kingdoms. I only know one of them."

"The one I told you about earlier."

"As for her other divine kingdom, even I know nothing about it."

Nahelkato looked up at Kanzaki Rei, her tone serious. "Try to see if you can withstand it."

"Divine Kingdom: Realm of This Life’s Reflection."
