Chapter 596
"Congratulations, Hakuro."
"After all the commotion they caused, you should have freed yourself from your vow, right?" Yug spoke with a sinister undertone, his face full of mysterious smiles.
The one seated at the December position, White—Hakuro—simply gave a cold nod.
Hakuro?
Was that her true name?
Kanzaki Rei extended his perception toward her, but the moment it drew near the area around her, it was instantly annihilated.
His perception could not pass through at all.
He could not probe any further information about Hakuro.
Aegimira and Lorna—two Moon-level beings—were dead.
Although Bani had been revived through Lorna’s death, Bani itself had suffered severe damage, and the Moon-level seat no longer belonged to it.
There was indeed no place for it here.
It was understandable for two seats to remain empty, but the fact that January’s Moon-level seat was also vacant was surprising.
Kanzaki Rei remained standing, like an outsider who had not taken a seat.
At the same time, he could feel it.
The gazes of nearly all the Moon-level beings present were focused entirely on him.
Yet each of them seemed to be calculating something internally, and no one spoke directly to him.
Suddenly.
Yakartikto lightly patted the seat beside him. If arranged in order, it should have been the position for the October Moon-level being.
"Take a seat, Kanzaki Rei."
"We need to discuss some matters as equals."
Kanzaki Rei hesitated for a moment.
He swept his gaze across all the Moon-level beings present. Some eyes showed confusion, some showed disdain, and others outright scorn.
Some were indifferent, while a few offered goodwill.
Kanzaki Rei nodded. "Mm."
He then sat down in that position.
Finally... he was sitting as an equal among Moon-level beings?
This seemed to be the dream he had when he first arrived in this world—to become an existence as powerful as a Moon-level being, capable of ignoring everything and living freely.
That had been his original dream.
But now... there were far more important things he needed to do.
He had to find a way to resurrect Akaren.
He had to find a way to atone for the mistakes he had made and save this destroyed world.
And to achieve all of that,
he could not do it without the help of the nine most powerful existences in the world before him.
Yakartikto still wore a gentle, peaceful smile. "Everyone, as Moon-level beings and immortal existences... each of us has our own obsessions and pursuits."
"However, beyond those obsessions, I believe we all still wish to break free from the constraints of being Moon-level beings."
"You have all struggled for such a long time."
"Yet there has never been a resolution."
"But Yug has proposed a perfect solution that would allow each of us to realize our own wishes."
Everyone turned their eyes toward Yug.
Kanzaki Rei did the same.
Yug interlaced his six hands, his smile still mysterious.
"That’s right. It was my recommendation."
"So I would like to recommend a new Moon-level being here... Kanzaki Rei."
Yug looked at Kanzaki Rei with a smile.
Before Kanzaki Rei could speak, Naraku from the other side spoke up. Her tone was frivolous. "Yug, this isn’t the first or second time you’ve given suggestions."
"But your suggestions haven’t necessarily been good ones."
"The suggestions you gave led to Aegimira’s death and the death of another newly ascended Moon-level being. Don’t think we don’t know about it."
Naraku’s voice carried a smile, but there was an underlying hint of threat.
"Everyone should know about Aegimira, right?"
Sophia waved a hand. "Who doesn’t?"
Yug: "As Moon-level beings, if you wish to break free from your vows, you will inevitably need to influence an entire complete world..."
"And the world is only so big."
"Even for all of you, influencing it is probably not that easy, is it?"
"But he carries Aegimira’s divine weapon on him."
"And Aegimira is no longer around."
"The troublesome one has already disappeared."
"As long as each of you reaches different timelines and we do not interfere with one another, we can naturally realize our wishes in different times..."
"What do you all think?"
After Yug finished speaking, no one immediately responded.
About two minutes later,
a Moon-level being finally spoke slowly. It was Pega of Peace and Tranquility.
"You mean that if he becomes a Moon-level being, it would allow us to traverse different spacetimes."
Yug: "Exactly. As far as I know, he is the only one who carries all the supreme spirituality of the world."
"Have you all sensed the gathering of spirituality around him after the Corruption Source Nest appeared?"
Every Moon-level being possessed the ability to perceive spirituality.
Reminded by Yug like this,
each of the Moon-level beings present focused their observation on the matter.
They saw many tiny, scattered traces of spirituality drifting toward Kanzaki Rei... Although the degree was very slight, it was undeniably happening.
"In theory, as long as he becomes a Moon-level being..."
Yug brought his fingertips together as he spoke.
"Combined with his inherent connection to the God of Time itself."
"It will trigger... a fission-like reaction."
"Once the concentration of spirituality reaches a certain extreme, a convergence effect will occur... More and more spirituality will gather toward a unified target."
"Under normal circumstances, scattered spirituality is not considered a single entity, so no convergence effect occurs."
"But he is the only existence that treats all branches as one unified whole."
"If he can stimulate enough spirituality, it may even be enough... to draw spirituality from other timelines toward him as well."
"His final realm may even surpass that of Moon-level beings."
Yug never lied.
This was not only his reputation but also his own vow to himself.
After listening to Yug’s description, Kanzaki Rei could not help but furrow his brows deeply.
He then looked toward the other Moon-level beings present.
Whether what he said was true or false, these words had undoubtedly placed Kanzaki Rei on the grill.
"A realm surpassing Moon-level beings."
"And after surpassing them, what then?"
Sophia asked the question calmly.
"Naturally... it would mean realizing anything you desire."
"All of our lifelong wishes could be fulfilled once he reaches that realm..."
Sophia: "Yug."
"Are you so certain that after reaching that realm, he will help us realize our wishes? Instead of eliminating us and creating a world he himself prefers?"
"Furthermore..."
"We all know what his essence truly is."
"He is fundamentally the Corruption Source Nest, whose nature is to corrupt everything in the world."
Sophia: "Yug, you always like to hide things. You’ve also omitted some important information, haven’t you?"
"Since you intend to keep it hidden,"
"Then I’ll say it."
"If he becomes a Moon-level being and absorbs spirituality from other timelines as you described... then he himself will inevitably be assimilated by countless spiritualities."
"The final result is that he could not possibly continue to exist as an independent life form. Instead, he would become an aggregate of an ultimate consciousness."
"In other words, he would become a new World Will."
"Only this would be a will with power that absolutely surpasses all Moon-level beings, capable of realizing nearly any wish."
"And you would be able to exploit the rules of this newly born World Will through its loopholes, using him like a wish-granting machine, correct?"
